Thanks for being My BEST FRIEND!

“My Earnest, Heartfelt Prayer on an April Morning!”

Dearest Lord God Almighty, MY BEST FRIEND!

It is all about FAITH in you! FAITH!
And it is about HOPE, yes HOPE!
And it is about LOVE, and you are LOVE, O God! You created this WORLD out of LOVE! Everything has been made with such intrinsic detail of a MASTER DESIGNER!

Every day You PAINT a different picture as the SUN rises in the EAST…

…and travels its course until it sets in the WEST!

And then the NIGHT SKIES bring their own twinkling beauty – the shooting stars, the dancing northern lights…

…and the MOON,
that graces the night sky in it’s ever changing phases!

Who can forget about your greatness? You display your WONDERS day in and day out!

But it is so easy to be consumed by the “rat race” and the “Dog eat dog” world. Was this your original plan? Never! Your plan was to place mankind in the beauty of your GARDEN, where everything needed for living would be at our finger tips.

And yet, what was desired was the only thing that you said was yours – the TREE OF LIFE which contained the knowledge of good and evil!

The first sin was THEFT from you, O CREATOR!
And the stealing continues today and has brought much suffering around the world. But is mankind without excuse? Because the knowledge of good and evil is in everyone’s heart, so that no one is without excuse!

Sometimes, I look outside at my world and I say:

“WHAT’S GOING ON?”

“WHY SO MUCH HATE?”

“WHY SO MUCH APATHY AND UNLOVING?”Lord God Almighty, it is so disheartening at times.
And then I am reminded of Jesus words:
“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”
I realize that YOU, O Great Father, have given us EVERYTHING we need! Jesus was a man who came in the flesh and was tried and tempted as we are, but was without sin.
How did He do it?????

It was by living in UNITY as ONE with You, O Great Father! He showed us the way.

In fact, Jesus said that WE WILL do GREATER things then He did because he was sending the Holy Spirit to empower us with all that we needed.

Well, I have NOT seen that power in my life time. 🙁

I have not seen anyone walk on water, or feed the starving multitudes with one small lunch. 🙁
I have not seen those born with no arms or legs or who have been blind from birth – healed and restored! 🙁

I have not seen the dead raised, but have witnessed much GRIEF by families around the world, of UNTIMELY DEATHS OF LOVED ONES!!!! :'(

We are missing your POWER in our lives and Father, it points to the LACK OF OUR FAITH TO BELIEVE and yet every day around us, we see what you have made…

…and experience its’ wonder…

…if we would just stop a moment to take it all in and go into the sanctuary of your presence…

…like being in the “eye of the storm” of a great HURRICANE OF TURMOIL on the earth.

YOU HEAR OF THE FIGHTING, THE GUNS, THE KILLING, THE BOMBS…

…THE TERROR!!!!

…THE DESPAIR!!!!

…the HOMELESS…

…the displaced multitudes of REFUGEES…

…AND ON…

…AND ON…

…AND ON!!!!!!

Add to that, family turmoil, broken homes, sickness and disease, sexual exploitation and perversion, child abuse, human trafficking, organ harvesting and murder, corruption in governments, law enforcement and in legal justice systems.

WHERE DOES IT COME FROM?????

Well, Jesus said that “the thief (the devil) comes only to STEAL and KILL and DESTROY.” (John 10:10)

I look and see the destruction everywhere! Destruction of PEOPLE and the EARTH and ALL LIVING THINGS!

There is no regard for the WATER – life giving WATER!!!!!!

The OIL SPILLS…

…MINING POLLUTION…

…and INDUSTRIAL WASTE, is poisoning the very necessary WATER we need!

But, some of the POISONING has been intentional, and the WHISTLEBLOWERS have warned the world of the EUGENICS policies and schemes of those who are working with the devil to ANNIHILATE THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE on the planet.

WHAT CAN WE DO???? WHAT CAN I DO?????
I am one person of the 7 Billion on the planet!

It has come down to this, that even though YOUR POWER, Oh GOD, is displayed every day from the RISING OF THE SUN to the setting of the same, and even if MIRACLES are done by YOUR MIRACULOUS POWER, people would still choose not to believe, just as in Jesus’ day. (John 12:37-50)

So, why should I be surprised at those who choose LIES over TRUTH? Why should I be surprised that most love praise from men more than praise from You, Oh Father?

I care not for those false accolades of a Grammy or some other kind of worldly recognition! I care only about pleasing YOU!

YOU are the ONE who has never let me down – a TRUE FRIEND – an ALL-WEATHER FRIEND, not a fair-weather friend!

Friendship with You, My Maker, is EVERYTHING to me! I want to follow the example of Abraham.

It says, “the scripture was fulfilled that says, ‘Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,’ and he was called GOD’S FRIEND!” (James 2:23)

That is what I want to be – YOUR FRIEND, oh my GOD ALMIGHTY! I want to stick with you and know You!

I read about the flood in Noah’s day and the wickedness and evil that was everywhere – much like today!

It says, O CREATOR, that your heart was filled with PAIN, when you saw the wickedness on the earth and that “every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time”, (Genesis 6:5) and that You, Oh CREATOR, were grieved that You had made man on the earth, and because of the evil, you decided to wipe mankind from the earth, who you created, as well as ALL you created, such as the animals, birds, and all creatures.

You were so much in GRIEF and PAIN, that You decided to DESTROY EVERYTHING!

But, in the midst of all that EVIL, there was ONE MAN who found favor in your sight and it was Noah. He was a right living or righteous man! It says that Noah “walked with God.” (Gen 6:9).

The account goes on to say that “the earth was corrupt in God’s sight and was full of violence. God saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways.” (Gen 6:11-12)

We are living in those kinds of times once more, O Lord! I know your heart is once more FILLED WITH PAIN! 🙁

I know that the 40 days and 40 nights of rain, which fell in Noah’s time, was really your TEARS FLOODING THE EARTH and that is why today, the salt water is much more in abundance then the fresh water!

Your TEARS – EVERY DAY – wash up on the shores of the land!
You made a promise to NEVER CRY so much again and put the RAINBOW in the sky to symbolize that PROMISE to mankind and all living things on the earth!
Father God, let me be that ONE PERSON that AVERTS YOUR WRATH from coming! We need your HELP! Who can have mercy on us? There is only YOU! The answers are NOT in governments, guns, armies, politics, money, educational degrees and human scheming!

The answers are SIMPLE! It is about YOU, Oh FATHER GOD!

YOU ARE LOVE!
LOVE is You! The world has the wrong concept of what “LOVE” is. They seek LOVE, but push You away out of their hearts and lives – not realizing that the very thing they need MOST – TRUE LOVE – is found only in YOU!

You have shown me your deep, accepting LOVE! A LOVE that is kind, gentle, patient, never ending, full of goodness and mercy, ready to forgive and always present and nearby with such encouragement, acceptance and support!

I would much rather spend my days in your presence than in the presence of the earth’s pompous queens and kings and the rich. My heart is about serving You, as I would a cherished friend!

So, I ask this day in a humble way, to fill me with all of YOU, O Father, by the Holy Spirit that is here to dwell in our hearts, when we give YOU the rightful place as KING in our hearts and lives!

I desire only the FRUITS of Your SPIRIT to flow from my life – love, joy, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.

I am simply a “jar of clay” to display to the world your “all-surpassing power” and that it is YOU in me and that YOU deserve all the praise and glory!

So it does not matter if I am hard pressed on every side, for I am NOT crushed!

It does not matter if I am perplexed by what is going on in the world, for I am NOT in despair!

It does not matter if I am persecuted and ridiculed for my faith in You, for I am NOT abandoned by You, my Great Heavenly Father!

It does not matter if I am struck down verbally or physically, for I am NOT destroyed!

Even if those who have evil in their heart were successful in killing my body, they can NEVER DESTROY MY SPIRIT and SOUL, for I have given you all of me as your dwelling place!!!!!

And just as Scripture says, that I am “the Temple of the Living God!” (2 Corinthians 6:16)

You dwell in PEOPLE, not in BUILDINGS!

So, just as you say – that you live and dwell in us? This, O God Almighty, is what I desire.

Your words are, “I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God and they will be my people.” (Lev. 26:12, Jer.32:38, Ezek 37:27, 2 Cor 6:16)

This is the ANCIENT PATH that has been forgotten!

There have been times, My Lord God, that I have read Psalm 119, the longest Psalm, and pondered its words! It is all about YOUR PRECEPTS, YOUR TEACHING, YOUR WAYS!!!

But, how can people learn YOUR WAYS, if they think that MAN’S WAYS, also known as Capitalism, Civilization, Colonialism, Slavery, Government, Industrialization, Technology and Human Advancement – are superior to YOUR WAYS – the CREATOR of the HEAVENS and the EARTH???????

Just as your word states clearly:

“Seek the LORD while He may be found; Call on Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way and the evil man his thought. Let him turn to the LORD, and He will have mercy on him, and to our God, for he will freely pardon. ‘For MY THOUGHTS are NOT your thoughts, neither are your ways MY WAYS,’ declares the Lord,
‘As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are MY WAYS HIGHER THAN YOUR WAYS, and MY THOUGHTS THAN YOUR THOUGHTS!” (Isaiah 55:6-9)

It is YOUR THOUGHTS, O Lord, that I want in my mind, spirit and soul!

I seek to walk in YOUR WAYS, not on the path of the wicked that is about killing, guns, war, greed, theft, power over others and clamoring for position in the eyes of the world! I SEEK YOU!!!

If serving you means SCORN from family, or “fair weather” or “no weather” friends, or from even those who know nothing of me – then so be it! The words are true – that TRUE DISCIPLES who LEAVE ALL to follow the Lord are BLESSED!! (Matthew 5)

Today, I feel so BLESSED by You, Father!!!!! 😀

I could not live life without your LOVE shining into my heart your WARMTH and CARE!

You sustain me day after day, in fair weather or stormy winds and rain, mixed with swirling tornado winds!

I speak not only of the physical world, but the personal world – for those kinds of storms are much harder to survive.

But, you have been an ANCHOR, that ROCK that is HIGHER than I, where I can fly to and find rest, strength, and comfort, any time I need it!

I desire so much for the world to know you as I do, Father – the Grandest and Greatest Father!!!

Many curse You when ROUGH TIMES come their way, but it is in the rough times that I have come to know You and that YOU are exactly what you say You are, and all Your promises are TRUE! If only, we could live as TRUE!

That is why I seek to be – as TRUE TO YOU, as You are to ME! Isn’t that what REAL FRIENDS are? Faithful and TRUE???

So, thanks for being my BEST FRIEND, GOD!!!!

I desire to be the BEST kind of Friend to You, too, and be known around the world, as Abraham was known – as a FRIEND of GOD!!! 🙂

Love,
From ME – Your Friend,
Dorothea (affectionately known as “Ditto”)

Hope, Hope & Hope! The World Needs a Dose!

HOPE, HOPE & HOPE! THE WORLD NEEDS A DOSE! – by Ditto

I want to tell you a true story. One day as I was sitting in my house in Canada, I heard a big thud on the window overlooking the back deck. Just days before, I had heard a similar thud on the front picture window, but failed to check it out. I later found a dead sparrow in the flower bed.

So, this time I was determined to respond. I ran outside to find a sparrow lying on the deck – stunned and motionless. I carefully picked him up and cupped my hands over him, so that he would not be alarmed and flutter out of my hands.

I began talking to him quietly, saying, “Don’t worry! I’m not going to hurt you!”

I then just held him in STILLNESS and in QUIETNESS for quite awhile. Every so often, I would peak through my fingers to see if he was still alive. I would see these little eyes silently staring at me. But he never moved or fluttered away in fear. The little sparrow knew I was there to help him, not harm him. He trusted me.

I wondered what I should do with him, but continued to hold him, cupped in my hands. I wondered whether he had a broken wing? I wondered if he would die like the other sparrow? I hoped not. As if he was reading my mind, all of a sudden, the little sparrow pooped in my hands!!!! Ewwwww! Bird poop! LOL!

“Great!”, I thought, “I rescue you and you repay me by pooping on me??!!?!?” Well, at least he was alive!!!! That was the message, right? Well, that did make me happy!

So, I decided to take him back outside and put him on the deck railing. If he flew away, then I would know he was fine. I took him out on the deck and carefully perched him on the railing. He didn’t move, but he also seemed to be okay. So I quietly walked away. I looked back to see him sitting there looking around. He seemed like he was no longer in shock, but he was not flying away either. I wondered if he was wounded, even though I saw no sign of a broken wing. So I continued to watch and then went back inside the house.

Every so often, I would peak out the window to see if he was still there. It seemed like hours that he sat motionless. And then without warning, he was gone! I didn’t even see him fly away! I ran outside to see if he may have fallen off the railing. But, he hadn’t! He had taken flight and was gone. That made me happy!

As I went on with my day, I couldn’t get the incident with the sparrow out of my mind. I thought, “God allowed this to teach me something.”

I thought about the verses about the sparrows and how God sees every one that falls from the sky and that He cares for us much more than the sparrows.

I went to look up the verses:

“Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.” (Matthew 10:29-31)

I thought about how this little sparrow was flying happily that day and upon seeing the reflection of the clouds and blue sky in the window, thought it was just more sky – when THUD!!!! He crashed and fell down – unexpectedly with no one to help him!!! But, I heard and responded, just like God has repeatedly heard me and seen my need for help.

It was how I felt about my life right then. I had been soaring and then trial, after trial, after trial came my way. I had just lost my mother, unexpectedly and was reeling from grief. I was in an abusive marriage that was about to end. It seemed like the problems were stacking up one by one. What was I going to do? Where was I going to go? How? Why? The questions were in my mind, spirit and soul.

But, in the midst of the problems of life, my Heavenly Father was drawing closer to me each new day, showing me that I was precious and that He knew all the details of my life – right down to the number of hairs on my head. My Heavenly Father was giving me HOPE! My experience was just like that sparrow. My loving Heavenly Father picked me up whenever I needed help and just tenderly cared for me. Many times HEALING would come in the silence of His loving heart! There was tenderness, quietness, patience and understanding towards me. Never once was it: “Pick yourself up!” “Snap out of it!” Nope! It was just pure love and care! Healing love and care!!

It was all about giving me renewed HOPE – that no matter what comes my way, that my GOD would walk closely with me! I was not alone!

I went to the piano and sang the old song, “His Eye is on the Sparrow”! The words touched me that day! I decided I would someday record this lovely song and in 2004 I did. I have since made a music video of the recording with the lyrics in the video. If you know the song, listen and sing along! You can watch it on You Tube here.

“HIS EYE IS ON THE SPARROW” – Lyrics

Why should I feel discouraged,
Why should the shadows come,
Why should my heart be lonely,
And long for heaven and home,
When Jesus is my portion?
My constant friend is He:
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches me;
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches me.

“Let not your heart be troubled,”
His tender word I hear,
And resting on His goodness,
I lose my doubts and fears;
Though by the path He leadeth,
But one step I may see;
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches me;
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches me.

I sing because I’m happy,
I sing because I’m free,
For His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches me.

Whenever I am tempted,
Whenever clouds arise,
When songs give place to sighing,
When hope within me dies,
I draw the closer to Him,
From care He sets me free;
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches me;
His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches me.”

The line in the song that says:
“When HOPE within me dies, I DRAW THE CLOSER TO HIM.”

That is the solution for keeping HOPE alive! It is drawing ever close to the one who loves us the most – our Creator, who is LOVE! God is LOVE! He is watching you and me – all the time!

In 1999, some of my friends experienced a tragedy. Their 16 year old son and his friend, were killed in a snowmobile accident. We traveled to attend the wake and funeral, as just a few years before, my 16 year old step-son also died unexpectedly. Loss can be difficult, especially of a young life. I didn’t plan to say anything at the funeral gathering, but God knew there were words He wanted me to speak. I told the people that day an analogy that God used in my life too:

Life is like hanging a picture on the wall. If you try to understand it through your eyes, it is like hanging the picture on the wall backwards. And as you look at it backwards, it doesn’t make sense! 🙁

You must hang the picture on the wall the correct way! It is like looking at things through God’s eyes! 🙂 We don’t understand His ways! We don’t understand His thoughts! But, it is trusting that the MASTER DESIGNER knows the masterpiece that He is making out of our life and trusting Him with the unanswered questions.

Let’s say you bought an expensive painting by a famous artist, like Claude Monet, to hang on your living room wall!!

You brought it home and carefully centered it on the wall! The colors were vibrant and beautiful! You bought it because of that vibrant mixture of colors! But, as you lifted it up to hang in your living room, you decided to hang it backwards on the wall. Would that even make sense?? But, I have found that we as humans do many things that do not make sense.

Every morning when you came into your living room, you looked at the painting, but the back of the canvas looked old and dingy, and totally unappealing! The vibrant and cheery colors of the Master Painter, Claude Monet, were just not visible.

When friends came, you would tell them of your expensive Claude Monet painting, but they would only see the back of the aging canvas, rather than the MASTER ARTIST’s masterpiece, with all the colors! Your friends might even smirk and laugh and make fun.

Eventually, the thoughts would likely turn to, “Why did I buy this expensive painting? It’s ugly! I hate it! I shouldn’t even have this hanging on the wall!!!! I should get rid of it!!!!!”

But the artist had no intention of you looking at the painting from the backside!!! It is about hanging it on the wall right-side-up! Not backwards or upside-down! Claude Monet wants you to look at the painting through his eyes!

Your Maker is your Master Designer! He wants you to look at your life through HIS EYES!!!! He has PLANS for you!!! He wants you to TRUST that HIS PLANS are awesome and unique and full of vibrancy! And just like a Master Artist painting on a canvas, you are HIS Masterpiece – entirely individual, unique and special, and equipped exactly for all the PLANS He has for you!

Knowing that there is a special PLAN for your life is HOPE!

For God said, “For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the LORD, ‘plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.” (Jeremiah 29:11-12)

So, just keep that picture of your LIFE hanging right-side-up, knowing that your Maker is creating you to be HIS Masterpiece! Stick with HIS PLANS!!!! It’s all about HOPE!

In a World of Lies!!!

IN A WORLD OF LIES – by Ditto

In February 2002, the news of a new PENTAGON office, entitled, “OFFICE OF STRATEGIC INFLUENCE”, was in the headlines. When I read and listened to the reports of this new developing office, my question was, “Why don’t they just call it what it is – the “OFFICE OF STRATEGIC LYING”???????

Whether they disseminate lies themselves or pay others to spread lies, the truth remains – the public is still left with LIES! But who wants to live their life by LIES?? Who wants to fight a WAR based upon LIES??? I am certain that I am not the only one in this world that wants to live my life and base my life on what is TRUE!

But the history books are full of what the Pentagon has coined, “STRATEGIC INFLUENCE“!

We are taught so much misinformation – what some call a “bias by omission“, which is strategically omitting truth to create a biased opinion.

One need not go back too far to uncover example after example of this kind of “strategic lying” and “bias by omission“.

Let’s take the example of Mr. Christopher Columbus, the one who we are told in history books, “discovered America”. But, the question has been asked many times, “How can you DISCOVER and CLAIM a land already inhabited by others?”

One of the truths, that WE ARE NOT TOLD in the school classrooms is that when Christopher Columbus, met these peoples, he referred to them as “PEOPLE OF GOD” or “IN DIOS”. These FIRST NATIONS people were called “Indios”, and then the “s” was eventually dropped and they were called “Indio”. However, we are taught the theory that Christopher Columbus thought he had arrived in India and to hide these true facts about the beauty, love and kindness of these FIRST NATIONS people, they had to use “STRATEGIC LYING”, for what did they see around the neck of one of the natives – GOLD!

GREED immediately took over, which led to LIES, MURDER, RAPE, and THIEVERY for centuries, and is still perpetuated today! 🙁

This 16th Century canvas painting by Mexican artist Lienzo de Tlazcala depicts the destruction of the Aztec Empire in Mexico by another GREEDY, Spanish, murdering conquistador – Hernan Cortes, who used LIES to DIVIDE and CONQUER the people!

Did these “PEOPLE OF GOD” deserve such treatment? NO!!!!!!!!

Yes, Christopher Columbus was a RAPIST, MURDERER and THIEF, and yet there is a day every year where he is honored!!!! Is he worthy of such honor??? A white supremacist or KKK member would likely say an emphatic, “YES!”, but it is likely that they are only responding by what they have been taught.

WRONG BELIEFS DO LEAD TO WRONG BEHAVIOR!

If you are taught that another race is inferior, and taught that your own race is superior, then you will operate according to your belief system. So, if our beliefs about ourselves and our world are based on LIES, then we are only left with WRONG BELIEFS and WRONG BEHAVIOR!

One does not need to look far to see that EVIL has been winning out over GOOD for centuries! How can we turn this around???

There is only ONE WAY to OVERCOME EVIL and that is WITH GOOD!!!! There is only ONE WAY to EXPOSE LIES and that is WITH TRUTH!!!!

An ancient legend told by First Nations people about the Creator and creation reveals some powerful truth:

“The Creator had called together the animals to ask them where he might put something very precious, “the KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL”.

The fish responded:
“I will take it and swim to the depths of the sea and hide it there. Surely, man will never be able to go there.”
The CREATOR said, “No, he will surely find it there some day.”

Then the eagle came forward and said… “I will take it and fly to the moon. Surely man will never be able to go there.”

The CREATOR said, “No. Someday man will even go there.”

Then the mole came forward from earth and said…

“I know. Bury the knowledge of good and evil in man’s heart, for then only those who have the courage to look within themselves will find it.”

So it was agreed that the knowledge of GOOD and EVIL would be placed in the heart of every human being.”

There are those that say, “What you don’t know, won’t hurt you!”, and thus many would prefer to walk oblivious to the TRUTH of what is happening around them. For to face up to the evil in this world, one has to face up to the evil that dwells in their own soul – like revenge – the urge to strike out and repay evil with evil. Looking inward into your own soul is very difficult.

It seems to me, that the world and the world’s people, need to look inward into their own soul in order to respond in the right way from a foundation of TRUTH! If each of us does not have this foundation, it will lead to wrong beliefs and actions.

If you are still reading these words, you are likely a person who is ready to seek out the precious – “the knowledge of good and evil” – a.k.a. TRUTH! It is in your heart and it takes courage to look within.

I hope and pray that you will step on to this TRUTH seeking journey with me!! It will unlock so much that the CREATOR has stored up in your heart to find! 😀

Your friend in the TRUTH journey,

Dorothea (affectionately known as “Ditto”)

“God is For Me” by Ditto (Singer/Songwriter)

WHERE IS GOD??? That could be the question on many people’s minds as we try to deal with the trauma of recent years! Whether it is wars and rumors of wars, 9/11, natural disasters, financial uncertainty, threats of tyranny? It challenges our fundamental beliefs about our Creator! Where is HE?

Well, this song comes from my own journey in dealing with personal, unexpected, traumatic events! This was God’s answer to me through music!

GOD IS FOR ME!

The message is just as relevant to me today as it was the day I sat down at the piano – where words & music flowed from heaven to earth into my soul to bring me comfort in the middle of my uncertainty and pain. It was truly a GIFT from God and I am only that channel through which the music flowed! From that day to this, I have learned that God really is for ME and that He wants my TRUE thanksgiving! And, my prayer is that you would understand that He is also FOR YOU!!!

“God is For Me” is the title song of my first CD. The words are based on verses from Psalm 50 & 56. In changing times of this present world: war, famine, unemployment, economic chaos, uncertainty about the future – all of us need to know & believe that GOD IS FOR YOU & ME! This truth will bring hope and a reason for living.

You and I were put on this earth for a reason! Sharing these songs with you is part of why I was put here! Writing this blog is part of why the Creator put me here in this moment of time!

You can listen to this song below or on my You tube channel here.

Please listen to the song and be blessed by the music and imagery!!!

“GOD IS FOR ME” – Lyrics

The Father says what I want from you,
Is your true thanksgiving.
I want your promises fulfilled.
I want you to trust me in your times of trouble,
So I can rescue you and you can give Me glory!

So, when I am afraid,
I put my confidence in You.
So, when I am afraid,
I put my confidence in You, in You!

You have seen me tossing and turning,
Through the night.
You have collected all of my tears,
And preserved them in your bottle.
You have recorded every tear,
Oh, in your book, Oh God.

Yes, there’s one thing I know,
God is for me! He’s for me!
Yes, there’s one thing I know,
God is for me! He’s for me!

Oh, the very day I call for help,
The tide of the battle turns.
My enemies flee!
I am not afraid of anything man can do to me.
Oh Lord, I’ll surely do,
What I have promised, Lord.
And I’ll thank you for your help,
For you have saved me from death,
My feet from falling,
So that I can walk in the land of the living.

Yes, there’s one thing I know,
God is for me! He’s for me!
Yes, there’s one thing I know,
God is for me! He’s for me!

The Father says what I want from you,
Is your true thanksgiving.
I want your promises fulfilled.
I want you to trust me in your times of trouble,
So I can rescue you and you can give Me glory!

Yes, there’s one thing I know,
God is for YOU!
He’s for YOU!
Yes, there’s one thing I know,
God is for YOU!
He’s for YOU!

Praise your promises!
Praise your promises, Oh God!
Praise your promises!
Praise your promises, Oh God!

On the 2004 recording of my CD, “DITTO: GOD IS FOR ME”, the CD insert, has this message to you:

“To My Friends, Wherever You are in this World:

These songs were GIFTS to me from the FATHER in the Sky to help me through a very dark time in my life of trials & especially the death of my mother in 1998. Some of these songs have been sung and played for over ten years. They have helped me & given me strength. Now, the healing is complete and it is now time to pass these gifts on to others who need healing from their hurts. Wounded warriors can not win a war. There is a spiritual war that is waging between good and evil. Our Father knows we have been wounded & desires healing & restoration for body, soul, mind, and spirit.

These songs were recorded from my heart & soul. I DO NOT apologize for the emotion in my voice, for at times it was hard to sing, as emotion is gut-wrenching. For the past five years (1999-2004), I have hardly been able to sing. But, there is timing for everything. A time to grieve. A time to laugh. A time to cry. And now it is time for me to sing & share the sweet message of HOPE & HEALING for a world that is becoming more evil every day. GOD IS FOR ME, but He is not only for me, He is for YOU too, my friend. Yes – for you.

It seems that we always want to offer to our God the very best gifts, but what God desires for us to give Him the most is ALL the garbage that stinks up our life. He is the ultimate GARBAGE COLLECTOR! But, somehow we strangely have a hard time letting go of the garbage that stinks up our lives – no matter whether the garbage is our own, because of our own sin, or the garbage of others that they throw at us. Our Maker cares that each of us becomes ALL that He destined for each of us to be. We all have a role to play. I can’t play your role & you can’t play mine. All of our life experiences – good & bad – have been used by the Father to mold us into the person we are today. As I look back on my life, I am grateful for the rain & storms, as well as the sunshine & cool refreshing breeze, as well as the darkness of the night. They produce one thing – GROWTH.

The Father wants our true thanksgiving & our promises fulfilled. He wants us to trust Him in our times of trouble so He can rescue us & so we can given Him glory. My prayer is that you would open up every aspect of your life to Him & let Him make you into everything that He desires. You will never regret your choice to surrender to the GOD OF LOVE.

With Love,
Ditto 😀

Catalyst With A Cause

April 1, 2015 by

Ditto

It’s a NEW DAY to be a “Catalyst with a CAUSE”!!!!! A “catalyst” is simply a “change agent”! Is there “CAUSE” for CHANGE in this world???? Definitely!

Personally, I am sickened by the current state of our world that is becoming more evil each day! Many are losing hope that our world can be different. Well, I would like to offer some HOPE!!!!!

Is there a battle waging between GOOD and EVIL? LOVE and HATE? Yes there is!

But the determining factor of who wins is a personal choice! If each of us chooses GOOD and LOVE – this world would be a different place!!!!!! 😀 Let me tell you about why I have hope and about my own personal journey.

A number of years ago, I felt quite hopeless in being able to effect any change in this world, as I felt so insignificant in a world that is now over 7 Billion, according to the population clock!

One day as I was praying, I asked God:
“Can I really make a difference in this world?
I am only one person?”

The answer from my Creator that day was:
“With ME, you can TOUCH the world with MY LOVE!”

So, I decided to become a CATALYST that day and work as a partner with my Creator!!! My life has never been the same!!! I have seen changes and effects because of this partnership of spreading LOVE and SPEAKING THE TRUTH OUT OF LOVE!!!

I became a CATALYST WITH A CAUSE!!!!!! 😀

This journey lead me on a “TRUTH” quest – that is now over 20 years old! TRUTH IS A SOLID FOUNDATION!!!! I decided that I wanted to live my life only by what was TRUE!!! I did not want to live my life based upon lies of any kind!!! As a result, everything was scrutinized, even the religion and beliefs I was raised in! I asked the CREATOR by His SPIRIT to guide me into ALL TRUTH!!! This journey began to liberate me spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically.

The hardest truth I had to embrace is the evidence of deception and betrayal by those in places of authority! Who wants to be deceived or betrayed by people you trust???? I have not met anyone who welcomes lies and deception. It literally crushed me – at first!! I then became mobilized to expose the lies, deception and evil for what it is.

Deception is simply mixing TRUTH and a LIE!!! Then you do not have all of the TRUTH or all of a LIE!!! Sadly, wrong beliefs do lead to wrong actions and behavior. :/ Therefore, down through time, there has been a concerted effort in creating a “HIS-STORY”, that only benefits those in power. Yes!!! “HIS STORY” is the basis of the word, “history”!

Personally, I don’t care about learning someone else’s “HIS-STORY”, especially if it is full of lies and deception.

Unfortunately, since being on this TRUTH QUEST, I have discovered many LIES that have been perpetuated by what we call “churches”, religion, schools/universities, publishing companies, the media and especially by those in places of power – known as “Government”!

There are those that say that the etymology of the word “government” is derived from the following root words:
1) the French word for “govern” – “gouverner” and,
2) the Latin word for “mind” – “mens”.

When literally translated it would mean, “GOVERNOR of MIND”! Is this the purpose of “Government”?

If the minds of the people can be controlled and governed by causing them to believe LIES, rather then TRUTH, they will act according to those BELIEFS BASED UPON LIES! :/ In this way, those acting as the “GOVERNMENT” can control what happens in the world. Isn’t that happening today???? Isn’t this the real reason behind the “United Nations“, “One World Government“, “Globalization” or the “New World Order“?

On February 18, 2002, the New York Times story, “Pentagon Readies Efforts to Sway Sentiment Abroad“ was published about the Pentagon’s “Office of Strategic Influence” (OSI) and the planned dissemination of lies to sway public opinion. It created a global firestorm!!! As a result, only EIGHT DAYS LATER, on February 26, 2002, Donald Rumsfeld said, “I met with Undersecretary (of Defense for Policy) Doug Feith this morning, and he indicated to me that he’s decided to close down the Office of Strategic Influence“.

But, do you really think these strategies of LYING and DECEPTION ended????????? Of course not!!!! One only needs to understand the history behind this “strategic lying” and that it has been used repeatedly! In the 2003 paper entitled, “THE EVOLUTION OF STRATEGIC INFLUENCE“, the abstract states:

“This paper will examine the evolution of how the U.S. Government and the Department of Defense have organized to conduct strategic influence as an instrument of national power, from the Psychological Warfare Division of World War II, through the Psychological Strategy Board and Operations Coordinating Board of the early Cold War, through the Vietnam years to today. Are they organized effectively today to meet the asymmetric threats of the 21st Century?”

It is publicly known that George W. Bush and Dick Cheney lied about “weapons of mass destruction” in Iraq in order to “control the minds” of the people to spur them into waging war on Saddam Hussein and Iraq. The book and documentary, entitled, “The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder” clearly proves the manipulation of the American people and the world through lies and deception to justify invading Iraq!!!! The former prosecutor, Vincent Bugliosi, proves that George W. Bush is guilty of MURDER for the thousands of Americans who died in Iraq, based upon known lies and deception.

Although the documentary was produced in 2012, it has been virtually “blacklisted” from television. Here is the trailer:

In his presentation to law students in 2008, Bugliosi states “that any of the 50 state attorneys general, as well as any district attorney in the United States, has ample grounds to indict Bush for the murder of any soldier or soldiers who live in their state or county. Bugliosi says that if he were prosecuting the case, he would seek imposition of the death penalty”. You can watch his full CRIMINAL PROSECUTION of GEORGE W. BUSH presentation here:

Although the facts of guilt are obvious, has this disgraceful leader been charged with murder yet???? Sadly, as of this date, he remains a FREE MAN, while many American families have been deprived of their sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, husbands, wives, mothers & fathers – permanently! And many more Iraqis have been killed, maimed, and homes/businesses have been destroyed and their country is in shambles. So sad. :'(

Martin Luther King Jr. wrote these words of truth in a letter from a Birmingham jail cell that ring true today:

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly.”

Why is this such a hard concept for mankind to grasp??? It is really the “LOVE OF MONEY” and “GREED” that is at the root of all evil. But just as the Cree prophecy states:

“Only after the last tree is cut
Only after the last fish is caught
Only after the last river is poisoned
Only then will you understand that MONEY can not be eaten!”

Such profound words said in simple truth. Yet there are those that are blinded to these truths, and as a result are set on destruction.

“War is Money”, the capitalists proudly proclaim! Money is made on destruction and money is made on re-construction, with no regard to morals of right and wrong. And most times, war and “regime change” is simply about gaining control of a regions resources.

Currently, there are many puppet leaders, known as presidents, prime ministers, members of parliament, senators, congressman, mayors, etc. – but those behind them pulling their strings are usually the BANKERS, who also fund huge corporations and think tanks, such as the Brookings Institute, where people like Ben Bernanke, former Federal Reserve Chairman, have now found a residency!!

Most people do not understand that their CENTRAL BANKS are owned by private bankers. However, the Federal Reserve answers to BIGGER BANKERS – the Bank of International Settlement (BIS) in Basel, Switzerland, who is controlled by private bankers.

The top group of STRING-PULLERS are small indeed, and prefer to operate in the shadows! However, some are more prominent, such as QUEEN ELIZABETH II – the most notorious genocidal ruler still living today!!!!! She is a leader and signatory of the “Committee of 300” and the “World Bank Group” and works in conjunction with the Vatican and Vatican Bank, a major money laundering operation, which is now being exposed as never before! “From Laundering To Profiteering, A Multitude Of Sins At The Vatican Bank” exposes some of this intense hypocrisy and evil. Talk about sickening!!! Didn’t Jesus throw out the “money-changers” because they were making the temple a “den of robbers”???

But, church and state have historically worked JOINTLY with BANKERS!!!

Here is the proof:

Why do I call QUEEN ELIZABETH II a genocidal leader??? Well, you must understand the historical treatment of the indigenous populations and her policies to implement genocide – even today by withholding the historic “TRUST FUNDS” from their rightful owners!!! Canadians are not taught this history, but you can understand the basics of these TRUST FUNDS and the fraud committed by the QUEEN and her BANKERS, the “City of London” aka “THE CROWN” in this video, which explains that First Nations in Canada still hold the DEED to the land:

The Indian residential schools, funded by the Government, were part of a genocidal strategy in Canada – the country where I was born and educated by the QUEEN’S AUTHORIZED CURRICULUM. I have previously posted about the Queen’s historic crimes of genocide in conjunction with church-run Indian Residential Schools in a Facebook note, entitled: “PROOF OF GENOCIDE OF FIRST NATIONS CHILDREN!!!!! (Deeply Disturbing Information)”. Please read it if you have the stomach for the real, sad, truth experienced by innocent children – of which 50,000 never came home!!! :'(

Canadians are sadly waking up to this genocidal history, that was implemented right under their noses. But the Harper Government and the media are out to demonize First Nations and their leaders. The racism in Canada against First Nations is perpetuated by the Canadian Government and the Canadian Privy Council, which pledges allegiance to “Her Majesty the Queen”, rather than to the people of Canada. The Canadian Prime Minister and every Premier and Department minister must take the following oaths, where they pledge to the “QUEEN OF CANADA”, allegiance, servant-hood, and secrecy:

“Oath of Allegiance
I, __________, do swear (declare) that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second, Queen of Canada, Her Heirs and Successors.

So help me God.

The Oath of the Members of the Privy Council
I, __________, do solemnly and sincerely swear (declare) that I shall be a true and faithful servant to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second, as a member of Her Majesty’s Privy Council for Canada. I will in all things to be treated, debated and resolved in Privy Council, faithfully, honestly and truly declare my mind and my opinion. I shall keep secret all matters committed and revealed to me in this capacity, or that shall be secretly treated of in Council. Generally, in all things I shall do as a faithful and true servant ought to do for Her Majesty.

So help me God.

Oath of Office
I, _________, do solemnly and sincerely promise and swear (declare) that I will truly and faithfully, and to the best of my skill and knowledge, execute the powers and trusts reposed in me as ………..

So help me God.”

As a result, these CANADIAN GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS disseminate LIES, that First Nations are living off “tax payer” monies, when in reality, they only get a small portion of the TRUST FUND money that the QUEEN has stolen. The treaties have been disregarded and First Nations in Canada have now risen up to protect ALL CANADIANS against these deviant leaders – who are under the direction of Queen Elizabeth II, through her Privy Council!!! And now the Queen appointed her son, Prince Charles, to be a member in 2014. “Prince Charles sworn in as Privy Councillor” was one of the few stories to report on this significant change to the “PUPPET STRUCTURE” of the Canadian “Privy Council”.

It surely is the direct result of the QUEEN’s need to micro-manage the growing opposition to her policies of raping the land and resources of Canada, with little regard to her inhabitants – especially to FIRST NATIONS – who hold the LEGAL DEED to the land in question.

Back in 2012/2013, First Nations “Idle No More” protests began in Canada due to changes that would un-protect 99% of all rivers, lakes and streams in Canada in the passing of Bill C-45 in Canada and the violation of First Nations rights in Canada, as well as the rights of ALL CANADIANS, who also drink, live by and enjoy Canada’s vast fresh water resources.

Since this time, there has been successful thwarting of environmentally destructive projects and international solidarity of people who are struggling with similar invasions into their territories of multi-national corporations, funded by bankers, to rape and pillage the resources at any cost.

However, recently in Canada, a new “terror bill” has been presented, that would make FIRST NATIONS terrorists in their own lands!!! How much longer are CANADIANS going to put up with the tyranny of the QUEEN and her PRIVY COUNCIL secret strategies???

But, it isn’t just Canada. Currently, in Australia, the Queen and her Australian Privy Council, are trying to close Aboriginal Communities and displace thousands of Aboriginal people from their traditional territories, in order to make way for MINING!!!! Here is the documentation. But the pushback is on through Facebook and opposition worldwide is growing!!!!

However, the greatest battle is waging in the United States and has been the BANKER’S BATTLEGROUND since the “Declaration of Independence” from the British Crown!!! I will have much more to write about this in days to come. But right now I want to expose the GREATEST LIE being promoted – and that is that the UNITED STATES is in debt!!!!!

Stay with me now! Because, most have bought into this LIE because it has been so professionally crafted and propagated over and over by the media and government!!!!

Remember, the “debt ceiling crisis” of 2011??? You can refresh your memory here. It was at this time a UCC (Uniform Commercial Code) Financing Statement was filed in the Maryland Secretary of State office:

As you can see from this LEGAL DOCUMENT, it references a $14.3 Quad-Trillion Trust Fund and another $300 Trillion trust fund held by the Pentagon and the collateral on this lien was, “all real men with hands and legs and all real land in the United States of America”.

In 2013, I posted the document on my public Facebook page and within less than an hour, my account was blocked to prevent me from sharing it in any group or any other page. I couldn’t even make a comment!!! This “BLOCK” remained on my account for months.

But I continue to POST TRUTH and TALK about TRUTH!!!!! What opposition shows is that you are on the right path!!! “Fear of man proves to be a snare, but those who trust in the Lord are kept safe.” Proverbs 29:25

So, today, I say to you, I AM A CATALYST WITH A CAUSE!!!!! Do you want to join me on this path of TRUTH SEEKING and SPEAKING???? Do you also desire that LOVE win out over hate? GOOD over evil?

This world can be a very different place if we all join our hearts, spirits, body and soul with the CREATOR and become that CHANGE AGENT wherever we live!!!

It is about keeping HOPE alive and committing to being a CATALYST WITH A CAUSE!!!! 😀

Love,

Ditto 😀
