ONE OF THE MANY ENLIGHTENING --THINGS GIVEN TO ME WITHIN THIS PRESENTATION IS: ECCL 8:5 "WHOSO KEEPETH THE COMMANDMENT SHALL FEEL NO EVIL THING: AND A WISE MAN'S HEART DISCERNETH BOTH TIME AND JUDGMENT."  I COULD NOT HELP BUT TO ENVISION--JESUS CHRIST--AND--STEPHEN--BOTH DYING AT THE HANDS OF EVIL MEN---YET NOT HEARING EITHER ONE OF THEM SAYING "OUCH"--
I AM ASKING,  GOD IN CHRIST JESUS --"IS THERE A WAY"--" I COULD LIVE ON THIS EARTH"--"IN THESE LAST DAYS"-- AND HAVE NO WORK OF EVIL THAT  COULD HURT ME--THAT IS NOT TO SAY-- I WILL NOT BE EFFECTED--OR --AFFECTED BY THE EVIL--BUT IN THE MIDST OF THE EVIL-- COULD I LEARN TO LIFT UP MY EYES TO HEAVEN AND SAY---FORGIVE THEM FATHER-- FOR THEY NO NOT WHAT THEY DO--COULD I BECOME--SO WRAPPED UP IN THE LOVINGKINDNESS, JUDGMENT--AND RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD--UNTIL I COULD BECOME CALLOUS TO THE CARTOON--LIKE CHARACTER OF EVIL TODAY--
YOU KNOW I HAVE NOT BEEN DECEIVED---WHEN I WAS A CHILD--THE BAD GUYS ALWAYS GOT CAUGHT AT THE END--GOOD ALWAYS OVERCAME EVIL--"POPEYE BEAT BRUTUS"---"ONE ADAM TWELVE"-- "ALWAYS CAUGHT THE BAD GUY"---DRAGNET--THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW--BATMAN AND ROBIN---HAWAII FIVE-O- AND DANNO ALWAYS CAUGHT THE BAD GUY:  JESUS CHRIST HAS DESIGNED THIS EARTH WHERE THE BAD GUY WILL BE CAUGHT AS WELL--
THERE IS NOT A devil FROM HELL--THAT CAN CONVINCE ME--EVIL WILL OVERCOME JESUS CHRIST--I WILL STAKE MY SOUL WITH JESUS CHRIST  AND JESUS CHRIST RIGHTEOUSNESS, LOVINGKINDNESS, AND JUDGMENT, AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE--AS MUCH AS I HAVE IN ME---MY DAILY CRY UNTO THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY IN CHRIST JESUS IS--TO INCREASE MY THRESHOLD OF TOLERANCE--REPLACE MY ANGER WITH SOME WORD OF DELIVERANCE  --FROM THE  WORD OF GOD--I HAVE FOUND OUT IN MY WALKING WITH THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY WITHIN JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD---THE LORD GOD IS A LITERALIST--IF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS  SAID IT--THE LORD LITERALLY MEANT IT--TO EVERY DEGREE TO BE ATTAINED BY THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS--EXAMPLE: 
-ST LUKE 10:19 "BEHOLD THE LORD JESUS GIVES UNTO US POWER TO TREAD ON SERPENTS AND SCORPIONS AND OVER ALL THE POWER OF THE ENEMY AND NOTHING SHALL BY ANY MEANS HURT YOU." -- I WOULD MUCH RATHER DEAL WITH THE HUMAN FORM OF THESE CREATURES--NEVERTHELESS IF JESUS CHRIST IS WITH ME I WILL GO ANYWHERE-- "HOW HAST THE FAITHFUL CITY BECOME A HARLOT?": WE ALL KNOW, ORIGINALLY, WE COULD RELATE THIS SCRIPTURE TO JERUSALEM--
DID YOU KNOW THE HOLY GHOST OUTPOURING BECAME POPULAR IN-LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA ON ASUZU STREET LED BY AN AFRICAN AMERICAN PREACHER--APRIL 9 1906--1915 --SO IN MY MEDITATION I IMAGINED LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA AS AMERICA'S ONCE FAITHFUL CITY--ISAIAH 1:21-
"JESUS CHRIST, HAS WON,  WILL WIN, AND WILL WIN AGAIN"--"STAY READY" " I IMAGINE ANY DAY NOW"--"THE LORD HIMSELF MAY DESCEND FROM HEAVEN WITH A SHOUT" "THE VOICE OF THE ARCHANGEL"
