Visit with Ammon and Lisa Bundy

, ,

Today, me and my family had the great privilege to spend several hours in the home of Ammon and Lisa Bundy.

We talked about God, Family, and Country. We talked about where we should be as a country and what it’s going to take to get there by each individual person living in America. We shared scriptures. We talked a lot about the proper role of government and how far we are off track today. We talked about standing for something.

We shared very personal stories from each other’s lives. I haven’t felt this type of kinship in a long time. I felt like I’ve known them forever. Lisa’s testimony was just as powerful as Ammon’s. I was moved today.

Man, I thought my family went through some tough trials. These guys went through hell and back; a modern-day refiners fire that I wouldn’t wish on anyone. Very few, if any, get out of the grasps of the Federal Government once they lock their sights on you, especially when there are bad actors involved in that government. The Bundy’s are a walking, living, miracle. God was with them then, and with them today. I promise you.

Driving away from their home, there were two things that stood out the most; first was the amount of divine protection our Heavenly Father gives to those that love Him and follow the dictates of their conscience. Second was the amount of faith and courage it’s going to take for the last days regarding our freedoms.

I can honestly say that I left their home a better person. I have so much to write. I wish I could share the feeling that was in the room with us. I thank Heavenly Father for today.

I’m so thankful we live in the United States of America, but we have so much work to do. We need to unite as one with correct principles. Thank you Ammon and Lisa for your faith and testimony in the things that are true.

God not Government

,

It seems our society’s lack faith and disbelief in God has now produced a very disturbing growth in government all over the world?

It seems once that faith in God is lost individually and collectively, and never passed down to the next generations, we start to look to government for our answers, instead of God. Why? Because we don’t want to answer to someone higher than ourselves. We then try and create the laws ourselves. But the real Law, which would produce real happiness, was already given to the human family, a long long time ago.

We seem to be so scared there just may be “heavenly laws”, and we run from the idea that Someone wiser than ourselves may know just a bit more than we do. But because of our pride and ignorance, we ironically then create our own gods, within our own big governments, with 100x more laws that are 100x more restrictive and controlling than the ones we tried to hide from. Thus, we get exactly the punishments we deserve on ourselves. We’ve now become a law unto ourselves.

Maybe one day we will come full circle back to a few simple commandments that will produce the happiness and hope we desperately need.

Thoughts from Evander Holyfield

, , ,

Every morning my good friend Evander Holyfield texts me uplifting and spiritual messages. This one I had to share with you.

From Evander..

“The definition of sabotage is to deliberately destroy, damage, or obstruct (something), especially for political or military advantage.

Don’t you know that every time you accept negative thoughts you allow the enemy to sabotage your purpose?

When you believe the opposite of what God says you can do you allow the enemy to deliberately destroy your chances of winning? The enemy’s objective is to disarm you and take over your territory which is your future! Your future is bright and he knows this. His job is to steal, kill and destroy! Yeah! He’s out to dismantle your dreams! Watch out for him. He’s sneaky. He’ll obstruct your faith using those close to you. He knows your buttons. He knows your tender spot, your weaknesses!

But you can win this battle every time. Arm yourself with the Word! It’s sharper than a double edged 🗡 sword. Fight for yourself. David in the Bible used a slingshot and aimed perfectly and he slayed the giant. Every one else was too scared. They allowed the enemy to sabotage them by appearing bigger than life. David had already slayed many giants so this wasn’t nothing for him. I want you to slay your giants today like I slayed Mike Tyson! You might get your ear bit off but you won’t be taken out.

Life may begin to look like you’re missing parts of your body but don’t fret it’s a test of your courage. Maybe things or people are being removed from you. It’s a test! The enemy is desperate! He’s losing! He’s frustrated! Stand firm! Look at your problems and tell them they’re time is up. Strip him of his power today and tell him you ain’t going no where because God said no weapons will be formed against you and no enemies shall prosper!”

I Am A Child of God- That’s My Title

,

I need to open up for a minute…

Someone told me the other day that I’m the most “secure person” they know. I just listened and said “you have no idea”. I didn’t go into it but wish they actually knew the struggle I face daily with my self-confidence and internal fears I have as a person and provider for my family.

The other day at church, our group went around to make introductions so that the new people could meet the older people in the ward who have lived there a while. It went something like this: My name is ____ and I’m retired… My name is ____ and I’m a physical therapist … It continued and went then went from doctor to retired, to retired to dentist, or builder to real estate investor, General contractor, etc, etc, You name it.

When it got to me I wanted to hide under my chair. I thought about getting up and leaving early but I stayed. Before I told them that I was a “solar guy” and knock doors for a living, I felt like I had to say I was “former law enforcement” just so I could kinda claim that I was once a regular adult on a career path. I introduced myself and they moved around me to the next person.

I don’t have any other degrees or licenses or worldly titles (which there’s nothing wrong with those that do), I just don’t. No specialty skills really. I can’t even hang a picture strait on my wall. Truly ask my wife. She’s more handy than I am. I’m not ashamed of knocking doors, it’s just extremely hard, and I just know it’s a step to something else. And I don’t know what that next “else” is. I’m just not “secure” in this way. Even if I make a ton of money in a month. What I do is talk to people and connect people; sell, grind, hustle, and close; day in and day out. I don’t have a lot of options. (and maybe that’s the greatest gift ever for me to keep me humble, I don’t know)

Yesterday the Lord came through in a big way. It was amazing. I don’t know how He does it month after month. On days when I just want to throw in the towel and quit, He somehow provides and lights the way to me to keep going.

The points of my post are, first: many people all around you struggle to feel secure and confident in life. Many. People you think are “The most secure” may actually be the most insecure in many areas and have an internal stormy battle inside of them.

And second: any amount of confidence and security, lies in God, not myself. He is where I put my faith each day when I sometimes don’t want to take the covers off my face. Because I testify if you just get up out of bed (as hard as it is sometimes) and just start moving and going and doing, thanking Him and asking for help, believing in Him, He will bless you and your family spiritually and physically. I promise. Sorry that was so long, had to get it off my chest. God lives and I’m His child. That’s my title. I’m a child of God.

More Faith Not to Believe

, ,

To me, the idea that something came from nothing is not believable. Because of the endless amounts of clear and tangible witnesses from God on earth and in the heavens, I think it actually takes more faith to not believe in God, than to believe in God.

Boyd K. Packer

“We are very particular to forbid anyone from preaching Catholicism, or Protestantism, or Mormonism, or Judaism, in a public school classroom, but for some reason we are very patient with those who teach the negative expression of religion.

In the separation of church and state we ought to demand more protection from the agnostic, from the atheist, from the communist, from the skeptic, from the humanist and the pragmatist, than we have yet been given.

I have had university administrators tell me that they would like to correct this situation, in this school or that one, but they cannot act. The offending professor is protected in what he does. He hides behind tenure and draws support from professional societies.

I submit that the atheist has no more right to teach the fundamentals of his sect in the public school than does the theist. Any system in the schools or in society that protects the destruction of faith and forbids, in turn, the defense of it must ultimately destroy the moral fiber of the people.”
