Genesis 1:29 outlines the original plant-based diet for humanity in Eden. The covenant with Noah in Genesis 9:3 introduces a significant change, where God explicitly grants permission to eat meat—God making a concession to human nature following the Fall into hardened hearts and sin.

Genesis 9:3 “Everything that lives and moves about will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.”

All are free to eat all types of food under the New Covenant, as Jesus declared all foods clean. The strict dietary restrictions of the Old Testament in Leviticus 11 are no longer binding because Jesus fulfilled the law, and Christians are now under a covenant of grace.

Mark 7:19
For it doesn’t go into their heart but into their stomach, and then out of the body.” (In saying this, Jesus declared all foods clean.)

Something that I was a little slow to stand on is also this very clear statement: the ones that broke the old covenant are also the reason the new covenant was brought in. They denied Jesus, and this is also denying God. In saying that they are practicing the old covenant, they are clearly breaking most of the old covenant laws—but all these laws stand second to the biggest law that is being broken.

God has said Jesus is His Son, and God said He was going to bring in the new covenant, which He has brought. So anyone ignoring these two very important things is no longer obeying the laws of God or the Word of God.

God declares Jesus is His Son. Everyone knows God tells only truth. So what is it to deny God? I do not need to give the answer—you know the answer.

God shows me things a lot of times with numbers—birth times, birthdates, timing—that most would consider to be impossible. So knowing that my daughter and I were both born at 11:17, there are certain numbers that have extra weight, and God knows I always look for them, and here I can see them very clearly.

God gives me many stories, and many songs within stories and songs. I also have many stories of pains to gains my survival and miracles and changes within that are far beyond denial.

John 17:17
Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.

Psalm 2:7
Prophecy.
I will proclaim the Lord’s decree:

He said to me, “You are my son;
today I have become your father.

Matthew 3:17
And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”

Matthew 17:5
While he was still speaking, a bright cloud covered them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!”

2 Peter 1:16-17
For we did not follow cleverly devised stories when we told you about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ in power, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. He received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, saying, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”

Psalm 33:4
For the word of the Lord is right and true;
he is faithful in all he does.

1 John 5:9-12
We accept human testimony, but God’s testimony is greater because it is the testimony of God, which he has given about his Son. Whoever believes in the Son of God accepts this testimony. Whoever does not believe God has made him out to be a liar, because they have not believed the testimony God has given about his Son. And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.

John 1:34
I have seen and I testify that this is God’s Chosen One.”

The Scripture had the Holy Spirit very pleased, and there’s no denying how the body feels when it has pleased the Holy Spirit. And the reason—I will clarify for you—is because the Scripture is when the Holy Spirit was in Simon Peter, and it was revealing Jesus to be the Son of God.

Matthew 16:16-17
Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”

Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven.

NOTE: The enemy, trying to torture and kill me, and their lies and hate, brought me to truth in God, and to love and eternal life. And now I’m trying to save their lives and help them to heal.

Jesus said the greatest commandments are to love God with all your heart, with all your mind, and with all your soul—and to love each other as He has loved us. A love so great that you would lay your life down for a friend.

With all the painful, hateful ways I’ve suffered, Jesus also says if the world hates you, keep in mind it hated Him first. I also sometimes feel alone in the attacks, but I believe that many good people in Jesus have also suffered.

But I remind everyone that these pains are for the gain of eternal life.

Matthew 5:45
that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.

John 15:26-27
The Work of the Holy Spirit
“When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father—he will testify about me. And you also must testify, for you have been with me from the beginning.

---

1 John 4:17-18
This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus. There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

James 1:17
Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.

Hebrews 13:8
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

1 Samuel 15:29
He who is the Glory of Israel(People) does not lie or change his mind; for he is not a human being, that he should change his mind.”

Romans 5:8
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

NOTE: No condition was met, No improvement had occurred, No righteousness had been achieved.

1 John 4:8-16
Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.

This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God. And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.

God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.

NOTE: Love is not looking for a pat on the back. It does things in selfless ways. It does all things good, all the time. It doesn’t have conditions. If you love someone, there’s nothing they can do to end that love.

And how do I know this? Because I can say with a true heart, full of love, that the people that tried to murder me—I love them as I love my daughter Ava. And I know there are no lies for me. Yet Bad trees bears bad fruits. Ava will return to her true self and with much good fruit of a good tree.

A person who does things out of darkness cannot stand the light and strength in love. Nothing has more power than love. And God is love.

An army of fools—witches, sorcerers, gangs—essentially the world of darkness, and they could not dim the light of God that shines on me and from me. Love wins. It’s a true win.

Galatians 5:22-23
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

John 15:4-5
Jesus Said. Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.

“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.

NOTE: The “fruit” represents behaviors, words, and character traits. Good fruit consists of acts of love, kindness, and obedience to God. Just think about your behavior—is it all things rooted in love that result in good flavours, good fruits?

Think to yourself: has there ever been a time when you did something kind, loving, and good where there wasn’t a reward? And by reward, I mean that it feels good to be kind, loving, honest, and truthful.

That is the essence of it: good behavior and good words themselves are good fruit.

Matthew 5:43-48
Love for Enemies
“You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

Luke 23:34
Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up his clothes by casting lots.

John 14:6
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Galatians 3:24-25
So the law was our guardian until Christ came that we might be justified by faith. Now that this faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.

Hebrews 8:13
By calling this covenant “new,” he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear.

Genesis 32:28
And He said, “Your name shall no longer be Jacob, but Israel; for you have struggled with God and with men and have prevailed.”

NOTE: The being of God told him, “Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with men, and you have won” (Genesis 32:28). The name Israel is interpreted as “he who struggles with God” or “God prevails“. While Jacob is often used interchangeably with Israel in later scriptures, the name change signified a transformation in character and a blessing of the OLD covenant.

Hebrews 8:1-8
The High Priest of a New Covenant

Now the main point of what we are saying is this: We do have such a high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, and who serves in the sanctuary, the true tabernacle set up by the Lord, not by a mere human being.

Every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices, and so it was necessary for this one also to have something to offer. If he were on earth, he would not be a priest, for there are already priests who offer the gifts prescribed by the law. They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: “See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.”

But in fact the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant of which he is mediator is superior to the old one, since the new covenant is established on better promises.

For if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for another. But God found fault with the people and said . . .

Jeremiah 31:31-34
. . . “The days are coming,” declares the Lord,
“when I will make a new covenant
with the people of Israel
and with the people of Judah.
It will not be like the covenant
I made with their ancestors
when I took them by the hand
to lead them out of Egypt,
because they broke my covenant,
though I was a husband to them,”
declares the Lord.
“This is the covenant I will make with the people of Israel
after that time,” declares the Lord.
“I will put my law in their minds
and write it on their hearts.
I will be their God,
and they will be my people.
No longer will they teach their neighbor,
or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’
because they will all know me,
from the least of them to the greatest,”
declares the Lord.
“For I will forgive their wickedness
and will remember their sins no more.”

Giving Up Life to Live Free (Covenant of Grace)
The “grace” aspect means that righteousness is a gift rather than earned through performance. Regarding “loving life,” Jesus taught that saving one’s own life (self-reliance/sinful path) leads to losing it, while surrendering to Him brings true life.

John 12:25
Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it for eternal life.

John 8:36
So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

NOTE: This is true freedom. I’ve said many times I am free indeed, yet the beauty of clarity as it is today is one where I truly feel not just to love the enemy—I’ve got a round of hugs and celebrations for everyone. That can understand what I’ve provided today is a win for them as well. All that understand and believe in Jesus are to also be celebrating the victory, which is in the love of God.

Romans 6:14-23
For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace.

Slaves to Righteousness

What then? Shall we sin because we are not under the law but under grace? By no means! Don’t you know that when you offer yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey—whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness? But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin, you have come to obey from your heart the pattern of teaching that has now claimed your allegiance. You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.

I am using an example from everyday life because of your human limitations. Just as you used to offer yourselves as slaves to impurity and to ever-increasing wickedness, so now offer yourselves as slaves to righteousness leading to holiness. When you were slaves to sin, you were free from the control of righteousness. What benefit did you reap at that time from the things you are now ashamed of? Those things result in death! But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

NOTE: The enslavement to righteousness is a beautiful statement of truth, and it’s interesting that every day I experience the words of God—they are active and alive. The living proof is now in my heart. It’s the gift that keeps on giving, that unconditional love that grows into more love. And the words of God are, in similar ways, reminding me every day, in every way, that God loves me, and the love of God is in me—and it is the light.

Ephesians 2:4-5
But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.

Ephesians 2:8-9
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.

Numbers 23:19
God is not human, that he should lie,
not a human being, that he should change his mind.
Does he speak and then not act?
Does he promise and not fulfill?

NOTE: As I say to love the sinner not the sin. Also as Jesus says he is here to call the sinners. I look for love stories within stories, and I find attachments from these stories to my stories. I have more hope for some of the bad characters and their foolish ways, because I know that in finding the lost lamb there is more of a celebration—that for a sinner to be recovered and free indeed ends another love story.

The conversion of Saul of Tarsus, who later became known as the Apostle Paul: Jesus spoke to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?” When Saul asked who was speaking, the voice replied, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.” After this encounter, Saul was blind for three days, until a disciple named Ananias was sent by God to heal him. God told Ananias that Saul was a “chosen instrument” with a specific mission. God declared, “This man is my chosen instrument to proclaim my name to the Gentiles and their kings and to the people of Israel.”

Paul went from “breathing threats and murder” against the church to being its most prolific advocate, writing much of the New Testament.

Acts 9:1–22: The original narrative of the event
Acts 22:3–16: Paul recounting his story to a crowd in Jerusalem
Acts 26:9–20: Paul defending himself before King Agrippa, where he describes his specific commission to “open the eyes” of the Gentiles

NOTE: Holy Spirit also gives feelings I notice much in its love for connections and love of others and these connections in Gods word and also love of Music. Galatians 5 Life by the Spirit. This is not just a feeling, but action-oriented love that stems from the Holy Spirit.

Galatians 5:13-26
Life by the Spirit
You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” If you bite and devour each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.

So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.

1 John 4:1-6
On Denying the Incarnation
Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.

You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them. We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood.

Romans 8:38-39For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 13:10
Love does no harm to a neighbor (people around you). Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

NOTE: This is very important. With so many false prophets and so many occasions where I reached out for help—from politicians, police, hospitals, and even close friends and family—I remind people that how you treat those in need, or the least among you, is how you are treating Jesus, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

Matthew 25:35-40For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.

Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

NOTE: I can testify to the fulfillment of this promise, that the Holy Spirit is alive and active in me.

John 14:15
Jesus Promises the Holy Spirit
“If you love me, keep my commands.

1 John 4:18
There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

NOTE: I love you all and love never dies.
