Jesus spoke this to me! Like in the Bible when God spoke to Paul!
Friday, March 28, 2025 ***"God created man and horses for man for transportation."*** Which men only have the right to do what God tells them to do. The way they were created, or you end up with all Americans being very ill, sick, and problem-laden.
In all kinds of adversity. Because you are disobeying God. God created man with the intelligence to build storehouses. Barns are for himself and for his animals. A good place to store the food he grows for himself and his family. New background look for John Locke's book. The very anointed-by-God's-power book every Christian should read every day to heal America in the power of God.

Today's page we are on covers the subject of submission only by the consent of each sovereign person. With God in man through Jesus Christ, each man is divine in nature. A new creature born of God's Holy Spirit. The very nature of God has come inside his mortal body, changing his spirit into a son of God. ***Do not mess with a divine child of God.***

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ [that is, grafted in, joined to Him by faith in Him as Savior], he is a new creature [reborn and renewed by the Holy Spirit]; the old things [the previous moral and spiritual condition] have passed away. Behold, new things have come [because spiritual awakening brings a new life]......
3.) God's Kingdom on Earth, The Declaration of Independence copies this sentiment, Truth and Fact written by John Locke: Page, 44, Chapter VIII, 8, ***Of Beginnings of Political Societies***......
Sect. 95. MEN being, as has been said, by nature, all free, equal, and independent, no one can be put out of this estate, and subjected to the political power of another, without his own consent. The only way whereby any one divests himself of his natural liberty, and puts on the bonds of civil society, is by agreeing with other men to join and unite into a community for their comfortable, safe, and peaceable living one amongst another, in a secure enjoyment of their properties, and a greater security against any,that are not of it.......

King James Version
54 Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the Lord.
2 Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes;
3 For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.
4 Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more.

PG here, Friday, March 28, 2025 Chapter VIII "Of Beginning Of Political Societies", Section 95 and 96, Page 44, Day 45...............Sect. 95. MEN being, as has been said, by nature, all free, equal, and independent, no one can be put out of this estate, and subjected to the political power of another, without his own consent. The only way whereby any one divests himself of his natural liberty, and puts on the bonds of civil society, is by
Sect. 96. For when any number of men have, by the consent of every individual, made a community, they have thereby made that community one body, with a power to act as one body, which is only by the will and determination of the majority: for that which acts any community, being only the consent of the individuals of it, and it being necessary to that which is one body to move one way; it is necessary the body should move that way whither the greater force carries it, which is the consent of the majority: or else it is impossible it should act or continue one body, one community, which the consent of every individual that united into it, agreed that it should; and so every one is bound by that consent to be

DAY 46 |
1.) PG here, March 29, 2025, Day 46 of 100 of John Locke's "Second Treatise of Government and A Letter Concerning Toleration," published anonymously in 1689. Chapter 8, Of "The Beginnings Of Political Societies," Section 98, 99, and 100, pages 45 and 46 In 1689 John Locke is writing about a Perfect Government. Ideal. In sect. 100 he says this is impossible. There has never been such a government known in history. America was born a more “perfect union” 1776. John is teaching that unity is impossible, yet we have the unanimous Declaration of Independence less than a year later from John Locke's teachings on government. { The "Unanimous Declaration of the Thirteen United States of America," formally known as the Declaration of Independence, was adopted by the Second Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, declaring the thirteen British colonies as independent states, no longer subject to British rule. }
PG here 2.) Sect 99.. to unite into one political society, which is all the compact that is, or needs be, between the individuals, that enter into, or make up a commonwealth. And thus that, which begins and actually constitutes any political society, is nothing but the consent of any number of freemen capable of a majority to unite and incorporate into such a society. And this is that, and that only, which did, or could give beginning to any lawful government in the world. In section 98, John Locke mentions a play, CATO; the writer's plays are political: CATO Cato, a Tragedy is a play written by Joseph Addison in 1712 and first performed on 14 April 1713. It is based on the events of the last days of Marcus Porcius Cato Uticensis (better known as Cato the Younger) (95–46 BC), a Stoic whose deeds, rhetoric and "resistance to the tyranny" of Julius Caesar made him an "icon of republicanism, virtue, and liberty."
PG 3.) Addison's play deals with many themes such as individual liberty versus government tyranny, republicanism versus monarchism, logic versus emotion, and Cato's personal struggle to hold to his beliefs in the face of death. The play is explaining "the perfect reasons for government." Republics are resistance to dictators, tyranny, and domineering groups of men who rule without the consent of the people. John Locke is telling us without this perfect union, this play never opened, or as soon as it did, it shut down again because it had no effect on those watching. ***Cato's the play came to the stage then walked off stage, like it never happened.
PG 4.) Section 98......: but such a consent is next to impossible ever to be had, if we consider the infirmities of health, and avocations of business, which in a number, though much less than that of a commonwealth, will necessarily keep many away from the public assembly. To which if we add the variety of opinions, and contrariety of interests, which unavoidably happen in all collections of men, the coming into society upon such terms would be only like Cato's coming into the theatre, only to go out again. The Latin phrase was originally written "tantum et exiret." Only to go out again.
P.S. means “written after.” In the mid-1800s, John Locke was friends with William Penn and even got him out of jail in England. William Penn and the Quakers from the 1600s are the example John is writing from. He heard what they were doing and explained the governments they were forming. Political, civil and religious "Societies" he calls them.

PG here. March 30th, 2025 Sunday morning sermon. You are being watched and tested by "velociraptors," a group of men and women conspiring together, giving each other signals and code words, like from Jurassic Park. You are the prey; they are the hunters. Testing your strength to decide what weapons to use against you to take you down. God tests you to see how he can bless you.

"I was thinking Sea Food". Why is it called seafood"? Because it comes from the sea. Edible Seaweeds: Common examples include nori (used in sushi), kelp, wakame, dulse, and arame. Do Not go along with everything you hear. Boys are boys, girls are girls, the Gulf of Mexico is the "gulf" to Mexico. "Do not be played the fool." They are looking to see how gullible, how weak you are. People do this to test your intelligence, your resolve to tell the truth, and your individual fortitude and internal strength. When you are "a kiss-up, a man pleaser," these people will lose all respect for you. You are weak people, pushovers, sheep led to the slaughter. Admit it is true. Call out to God through Jesus Christ's death as punishment for our sin. Ask your heavenly Father for his Holy Spirit of truth. The Spirit of truth will lead you into all truth. Submit to God, resist the devil, and he will flee. You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. You will no longer be prey to the strongest liars and deceivers, thieves, murderers, and corrupt members of society but be led by God himself.

1.) ....negligence, cruelty, or any other defect of mind or body made him unfit for it...for want of age, wisdom, courage, or any other qualities, less fit for rule....yet if they find him any way weak, or uncapable, they pass him by, and set up the stoutest and bravest man for their ruler. Immoral men are unfit to rule. Only men with the highest of moral character can be rulers. Not morally weak because of sin like greed. People you can trust to be internally strong and not give in to temptations such as lying, seduction, and bribery. Is there anyone in government today able to answer the call of God, a good man fit to be in leadership?
PG here, Monday, March 31, 2025. John Locke's "Second Treatise of Government and A Letter of Toleration," published in 1689, is the foundation of our republic. The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. This book is like God teaching us. God himself as a Father educating his children; leading and guiding men on how to set up a more perfect union. A society, a compact, an agreement, a community, a constitution by mutual consent for the protection of property; life, liberty, land, family, personal possessions, the labor of your two hands, the worship of God freely, etc., anointed by God.
PG here. 2.) God giving men true understanding on political civil societies, Chapter 8, Section 103, 104, and 105, Pages 47 and 48, Day 48. ***Of The Beginning Of Political Societies.*** In sections 101, 102, and 103, John Locke has given examples of men in history set up by consent societies, apart from Israel, which was set up by God. Salmanasser, Xerxes, Rome, Venice. Josephus Acosta tells about Peru, Florida the Cheriquanas, Brazil and other countries. Justin, 1 iii, c.4 Sparta with Palantus. Section 102: ..............by consent were all equal, till by the same consent they set rulers over themselves. So that their politic societies all began from a voluntary union, and the mutual agreement of men freely acting in the choice of their governors, and forms of government. section 103: ..................will be allowed to have been freemen independent one of another, and to have set up a government over themselves, by their own consent.
PG here, 3.) Section 104: ....men are naturally free, and the examples of history shewing, that the governments of the world, that were begun in peace, had their beginning laid on that foundation, and were made by the consent of the people; there can be little room for doubt, either where the right is, or what has been the opinion, or practice of mankind, about the first erecting of governments. Section 105:... (PG paraphrase: Governments started with the Father. A family so numerous it could sustain itself. An example is Israel and 12 sons. They could join together when an enemy attacked them........... The father had the best qualities for leadership but if not, throw this person off, even a father and replace the leadership. The Declaration of Independence did that.Qualifications and qualities of a good leader for society.
PG here, 4.) Section 105:...He was fittest to be trusted; paternal affection secured their property and interest under his care; and the custom of obeying him, in their childhood, made it easier to submit to him, rather than to any other. If therefore they must have one to rule them, as government is hardly to be avoided amongst men that live together, who is so likely to be the man as he that was their common father; unless negligence, cruelty, or any other defect of mind or body made him unfit for it? But when either the father died, and left his next heir, for want of age, wisdom, courage, or any other qualities, less fit for rule; or where several families met and consented to continue together; there, it is not to be doubted, but they used their natural freedom, to set up him, whom they judged the ablest, and most likely, to rule well over them.
PG here. 5.) Conformable hereunto we find the people of America, who (living out of the reach of the conquering swords, and spreading domination of the two great empires of Peru and Mexico) enjoyed their own natural freedom, though, caeteris paribus, {Ceteris paribus," a Latin phrase meaning "all other things being equal,"} they commonly prefer the heir of their deceased king; yet if they find him any way weak, or uncapable, they pass him by, and set up the stoutest and bravest man for their ruler.
1599 Geneva Bible
13 1 He willeth that we submit ourselves to Magistrates: 8 To love our neighbor: 13 To love uprightly, 14 and to put on Christ1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers: for there is no power but of God: and the powers that be, are ordained of God. 2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist, shall receive to themselves condemnation. 3 For Magistrates are not to be feared for good works, but for evil. Wilt thou then be without fear of the power? do well: so shalt thou have praise of the same. 4 For he is the minister of God for thy wealth: but if thou do evil, fear: for he beareth not the sword for nought: for he is the minister of God to take vengeance on him that doeth evil. 5 Wherefore ye must be subject, not because of wrath only, but also for conscience sake. 6 For, for this cause ye pay also tribute: for they are God’s ministers, applying themselves for the same thing. 7 Give to all men therefore their duty: tribute, to whom ye owe tribute: custom, to whom custom: fear, to whom fear: honor, to whom ye owe honor. 8 Owe nothing to any man, but to love one another: for he that loveth another, hath fulfilled the Law. 9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet: and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, even in this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
10 Love doeth not evil to his neighbor: therefore is love the fulfilling of the Law.
Book Reading PG here, Tuesday, April 1, 2025, Chapter 8, sections 106 and 107, pages 48 and 49, day 49. John Locke, "Second Treatise on Government with A Letter of Toleration" Of The Beginning of Political Societies. Sect. 106 is writing about someone like "Israel," Jacob Isaac's Son, son of Abraham. A Natural leader with 12 sons. Israel is a "Father" has children. The sons obeyed their father, who taught them and raised them with godly laws, rules, disciplines, and punishments. Even after men were full grown, married with their own families, and leaders of their own homes, Isaac, until he died, was the natural leader of their society.
By then this family had been put onto a larger society, Egypt. Pharaoh would be an absolute tyrant and enslave them all under the mighty hand of the taskmaster's whip.
God chose another leader to deliver them, Moses. Men need a government to protect them from foreign invaders. Sect. 107 talks about the simplicity of government when men are few and possessions and land are little. Tyrants grow out of multiples of men to enslave and a lot of land, gold, silver, and personal property to steal. Men become dominating, world conquerors using armies to invade others land and steal the property.
In the Declaration of Independence, we read to put up safeguards. Learning to put up safeguards from those who would internally encroach on the liberty of the people. ****John Locke writes about Political Happiness.
***But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.****
Part of Sect 107: copy and pasted here: To which, if we add, that monarchy being simple, and most obvious to men, whom neither experience had instructed in forms of government, nor the ambition or insolence of empire had taught to beware of the encroachments of prerogative, or the inconveniences of absolute power, which monarchy in succession was apt to lay claim to, and bring upon them, it was not at all strange, that they should not much trouble themselves to think of methods of restraining any exorbitances of those to whom they had given the authority over them, and of balancing the power of government, by placing several parts of it in different hands. They had neither felt the oppression of tyrannical dominion, nor did the fashion of the age, nor their possessions, or way of living, (which afforded little matter for covetousness or ambition) give them any reason to apprehend or provide against it; and therefore it is no wonder they put themselves into such a frame of government, as was not only, as I said, most obvious and simple, but also best suited to their present state and condition; which stood more in need of defence against foreign invasions and injuries, than of multiplicity of laws. The equality of a simple poor way of living, confining their desires within the narrow bounds of each man's small property, made few controversies, and so no need of many laws to decide them, or variety of officers to superintend the process, or look after the execution of justice, where there were but few trespasses, and few offenders. Since then those, who like one another so well as to join into society, cannot but be supposed to have some acquaintance and friendship together,

Chapter 8 is Leadership. 1.) Leadership must be first in Battle...................end of sect. 107 how to secure themselves against foreign force. It was natural for them to put themselves under a frame of government which might best serve to that end, and chuse the wisest and bravest man to conduct them in their wars, and lead them out against their enemies, and in this chiefly be their ruler. In sections 108 and 109, John Locke quotes the Bible and gives historical reference to men who were leaders called judges, then kings, but they were ***generals*** taking the armies forth into battle and back home from battle. Saul, the first king of Israel, slew his thousands, but David had slain tens of thousands; he would become the second king. ***Generals of armies protecting personal property, land, and possessions from foreigner attacks.*** 1 Samual 18: 5 And David went out whithersoever Saul sent him, and behaved himself wisely: and Saul set him over the men of war, and he was accepted in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul's servants. 6 And it came to pass as they came, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tabrets, with joy, and with instruments of musick. 7 And the women answered one another as they played, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands. 8 And Saul was very wroth, and the saying displeased him; and he said, They have ascribed unto David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands: and what can he have more but the kingdom?
