Uncle Fred and the Wizard of Oz

 Lets try this for a change. What if sin were an evil and I was a man who had to fight. Now lets say I wanted to know why. Lets say that Jesus wanted me to understand so I could go get Pepsi after I was finished.

 To an observer that would sound foolish. But to a mother or father who cared for their child that would sound perfect.

 Lets say I had a brain and it was being used by those who wanted control of the world. Now imagine that you were part of that brain and you wanted control as well.

 So lets say God say me and said "Who owns this brain!" in a thunderous voice. And since I owned it I would write "I do great and mighty God!"

 And since that was a combination of my uncle Fred and the Wizard of Oz then God might answer "Hmmph!" and go on his way.

 Of course God isn't the Wizard of Oz or my Great Uncle Fred. He is a kind and loving God who knows I own my own brain. But there is a problem and it seems that none of us really own our own brains. It seems that when evil came and took control they took part of our brain so they could own it if things ever got rough. And since you own the part which thinks you also own the part which is of sin. And since sin is part of evil then you are part of evil as well.

 Now the evil brain master isn't me. I don't own my own brain and neither do you. All of us are like Frankenstein and all of us are under control of a master. And since Jesus came to give us life then in a way he is like Dr. Frankenstein. But only in a good way since we are not made up of dead mens body parts. At least not that I'm aware of.

 It was just that Dr. Frankenstein wanted to bring life to the dead man. He wanted their to be an Egor and that Egor wasn't me but a caring person who wanted to help master.

Now that does sound really weird to say but lets say that the writer, I believe his last name is Shelly, wanted to provide a method of action. He wanted there to be a dead man and he wanted to bring life. And he had to find a way of doing so. And the only way to do that was to provide an antagonist who was good and evil. And that was Dr. Frankenstein.

 Now Frankenstein gave the name to his monster. And he became the evil that we fear. He took dead men and mixed up their body and made it one. And that is what evil did to us. We were composed of dead flesh and we were made evil. Only there was within Dr. Frankenstein part of life. And that life gave him knowledge. And that knowledge was so he could bring back his daughter.

 Now imagine this story for Shelly got it right. He went out and tried to mix bodies and get a combination of life from death. This is prophetic and one of the reasons why God is helping me to write this.

 It seems many eons ago there was a man named Time. He was evil and he had a plan. He wanted to bring life but the only way he could do so was to carry a post dated check. And that check was given to a spear head named the Serpent.

 The Serpent was an evil sorcerer who wanted to give men life. They were all dead and they had all died. So each had to give part of his body to the Serpent and the Serpent then went and gave part of their body to Time.

 Time took it and then gave it to us and we each had to go without something.

 Well, as it turned out, when God made Adam he did one thing. He left out a brain.

 Adam was the Scarecrow. The man of straw. He was a man who had no brain and this meant God had to create something for a brain. And so, like Dr. Frankenstein, God made up a mass of flesh and folded it, gave it intricacy, and then folded it a few more times and gave it parts, and called it a brain.

 And by the way God does know that sounds funny. After all he did make the brain from straw and not from the clay of the earth and if that sounds funny it is.

 So in a way our brain is made of grass. And the only people who know that are you and me. And so our brain had to be burned up at the end of time or Time. And each of us had to give up part of ourselves to Time at the end. And so God made our brains so they were only part of the story. And since Time wanted our brains he will get them all.

 Now there are a couple shows I like which I won't name since I would get in trouble with someone for liking them. Lets just say there is one character who is like a dull hammer. He is the bad and good guy. And then there is the dull Captain who is dull and over active for some. I liked him as an actor but that is beside the point. He ended up having one show with three brains who bet. And those brains bet quad loos or something like that.

 Anyway the brains in this story were all of straw. They may look like flesh and blood but if you were to modify their DNA slightly they would all turn into straw. And that is the truth.

 So the answer to this puzzle is that God knew we would arrive at this place. He knew someday someone would ask about brains. And that was me. I like brains, at least in the sense of liking mine. And if it was empty, as it was possible, then I'd like to know. And if evil had set up an empire in my brain I'd like to know that also.

 So God said to Dr. Frankenstein, "Hold on, I think we have a pulse." and of course that was a statement and not a comment. So I had arrived at the destiny for which I was born. To help you people who read this understand that I am on the right path and so are you. Its just that we are all like Pinocchio and we are all like Frankenstein and we are all like the Scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz and we are all a little like Captain Kirk. And I might be a little like the Dull Hammer. Which will remain unknown.

 Anyway I am waiting for this story to make sense because in a way I am like the dull hammer. I use them to squash bugs, that is my head. I have a very dull sense of timing and so I am always a little slow in understanding that I am part of a big story.

 Well, so are you but I just happen to know what is going on.

There are spirits who control us. We don't see them and the control they have is often slippery. That means they try to manifest themselves through us. Some do pretty well. Others do poorly.

 The main ones are Sin, or sin, and evil. And evil is a small letter just like sin. They are all bad spirits and they are all of the abyss. Those not of the abyss are people who are not of time. And time is a spirit so he also is a small t.

 So all these spirits were originally alive. They went and threw out their life and built an empire on grass. They figured sooner or later God would use it for something.

 God did. He built up an empire of people who had brains made of grass. He built up those who wanted life and that pretty much is all of us. Those who don't have disposable brains are the evil natured ones. And so if you have a keepable brain you must be very bad.

Now I know some of you will laugh. That is a sign of life. Those of you under the law might frown so pray God will help you laugh so you can have life too. After all the law was unto death and Jesus was unto life. And so he had to play the Wizard of Oz and help us get a brain.

 Now to do that he had to find a way of sending pulses into us and that simply meant giving us a new heart. And if we broke one, as in our own, he had a way of bringing us a bigger one. And so I had an outsized heart and it was a horse heart which is why they call me Steed in Heaven. At least Peter does in one dream.

 So anyway I had a horse like heart which meant I didn't want to stop. I just kept going. And I got mad at evil and sin and time and wanted to know why they kept going. I figured two years of them as master of brain was enough. They sent pain and suffering and sorrow though I added plenty of tears.

 The reason is they were in control. Not of me but of you and of man in general. Everyone gave them their brains and each man had part of their brain given to evil. And evil took it and used it to knock me around.

 The other problem is that I wanted to be blessed. I was on the list but I couldn't get it checked twice by anyone on earth. Everyone thought I had lost it and that meant they thought I was dead. Even though I was alive through Jesus I was dead to them.

 So people who seem like they should die get people stopping by once in a while and wondering when the day of their death would come. And in my case I just kept getting worse until finally people said "He isn't going to die." But maybe that was the point. I wasn't going to die. I should have. More then once.

 God wanted me to know I came close to death and Death a hundred plus times. And that meant Death got so freaked out by me that he refused to stop by. Then there were years when my parents talked about it until I got mad at Death. I told him "Next time you stop by and try to talk to my family stop by and see me first."

 So anyway Death got so freaked out he started sending others to bug me instead. Of course they knew Death was freaked out and so they assumed they would have better luck in scaring me. Well I had learned a lesson from the Scarecrow and the Lion and the Tinman and I wasn't about to bend to any old oil can. I got mad at them and scared them spitless. And finally they stopped coming around to visit. Now to say I was feeling a little lonely was a lie. I didn't miss them a bit. However I did find myself wondering what it would take to start hearing from God as clearly as I would have liked.

 So God said "If I can find a place of quiet" he would speak. And of course that is an indirect quote. So I had to find a quiet place and I said "Does that mean traveling or just being quiet" and of course it meant being still.

 So if I am to be still then I guess it means to be quiet. And God agrees with me in all things. That I am on the right path and being quiet isn't my fault but theirs. That is all the noise makers in all the Universe. For God wants us to know that evil spirits still exist. Evil still fights. And we men who are evil had better beware. We are children and we are as little children. And if we think we know what is going on then we are little in their sight.

 Now the fact is I am on the right path. And I am doing what God wants me to do. And if I want to be blessed then I need to pursue it by asking everyday. And that isn't a joke. So I'm asking today to be blessed with a home and acreage and finances to run it and several businesses. Buy a van and a truck and travel as I need to or want to.

 So God says that is part of it but I must let him bring it and not worry about evil spirits who lie.

 There are several things I need. And one is peace. One is help.One is life. Life comes by Christ who is here with me. He knows I get hurt by serpent and evil natures. He knows I get hurt by people. He knows I get hurt by those who promise and don't fulfill. He also knows God wants to answer but there is a war  on. And being in a time of war means that it won't happen.

 What is ironic is I know the day of arrival of God is coming towards the end of November. I also know God has said He will arrive soon to give me a blessing. In a time that is awkward.

 He has also said that it will be in a time of turmoil. And turm oil or term oil is meant to speak to this age. Term Oil is meant to be a prophetic word. And it is meant to be of God and meant to speak to those of us who are ready. That it will be over oil. And it means that we in Alberta are on the right place if not the right path. We need to trust that God will set us aright. And we need to understand that we can be in Gods will and write things even if some of it seems a little confusing.
