  • 24-Feb-2026 1530 Started repopulating the web site Today.
     So, I started working on the Articles that were originally on the site. This requires a large amount of rereading and fixing typos that sneaked through previously. Close to my heart are the articles concerning Praise, Music and Worship which I believe is the key to True Revival. I believe the modern church is missing out on so much because they have chosen Professional Concerts instead of seeking the Spirit of Our Living God, Jehovah.
     For that reason, the next page set will be Praise, Music and Worship, which will no doubt anger quite a few caught up in the modern Praise and Worship Music scene.
  • 15-Feb-2026 0800 What place does Propechy and Prophets (so-called) have today.
     I generally avoid discussions about modern day "prophets" and what they have to say. But, I was talking with my son last night and he mentioned something I really feel the need to share.
     This one prophet apparently published a dream/vision well ahead of the attempt on President Trump in Butler. Pretty much exactly as it happened. That's 'interesting' enough but, he's had a follow-on dream/vision recently. One that really got my interest up.
     In this one the perpetrator is successful. With one caveat God's People must pray, really pray.
     Why does this stir my heart with sadness? Because in 1998 I wrote a message, "What if He Tarries" begging for Revival and then in 2010 I felt the need to write another message "The Need for Revival - Take Two".
     It was the total lack of interest that finally crushed me enough to gut this site and basically give up. Now this…
     Why do people go to church today? To exalt Jesus? To bask in His Manifest Presence? To exult in Him who is life Himself? No! People go to church today to party. To meet friends, not Jesus. To get all excited about the music, smoke, presentation graphics and light show. It's generally a 'Christian' concert, with a motivational speaker giving a feel good message that does not generate any interest in becoming more Sanctified.
     There is no desire for The Fire of God to fall and burn our chaff away, after all we are under Grace, God loves us, and He's our Friend. He is also, "Captain of the Lord's Host" and "Lord of All Creation" having been given a Name above every other name rightfully Justified in expecting obedience and well capable of forcing it. Look the church world has basically canonized Charlie Kirk, and nearly done so with President Trump. They are *NOT* our Saviors! Jesus alone is!
     We are about to lose the country! Does anyone care? You may believe it is all foretold in Prophecy but, what if the Church Age is a Parenthetical clause, and we can lengthen it, reducing the souls that end up in a hell prepared for the devil and his angels, by being Sanctified, by being revived by inviting The Fire of God to come upon us and burn away our chaff?
     I wish I could be more positive but, I believe The Lord's Disicpline is coming and while everyone is looking for The Upper-Taker many will fall away because they only expect Blessing, no hardness and no Repentance.
     When I said as much to my son, he stated that no one can beat US. My response was that we had won Vietnam, we had the North on the ropes and they were begging for concessions. But, a poorly trained very nervous National Guardsman, with poor trigger discipline let off a round that started others shooting leaving "Four Dead In Ohio", and Nixon caved to the political pressure and gave the North everything they wanted.
     I was on Guam when we evacuated Vietnam. I saw the faces of the people who had lost their hope and their country. And, I see that coming to America, *IF* the church doesn't get its priorities straight.
    Nuff Said?

  • 01-Feb-2026 1600 There is a difference between True Revival and a Concert Ginned up substitute.
    I visited a church this morning and the lights were low and the music foreign. It struck me that I was at a concert and the platform was trying to gin up something, I am not sure what.

    I reflected on being in revival many years ago and the stark difference between then and now. Between True Revival and whatevere this is they are calling revival today. Back then you couldn't have prevented people from exalting Jesus or exulting in Jesus. They came in praising and expecting Jesus to be there in tangible and manifest ways. And, He did.

    I miss those days. I despair of the loss of those days and the way people are settling for such a manipulated surface level Worship 'experience'.

    Isn't anyone else desperately hungry for the gently falling Fire of God, the Still Small Voice and The Manifest Presence of The Holy Spirit? I sure am.


  • 26-Jan-2026 0500 What about Fasting?
    I've encountered several groups and individuals promoting and doing a fast.  I ask myself why, I ask them why. But, I do not get any real reasons for their fast, only an implied strident encouragement that I do so as well.

    Israel fasted pretty much for only two reasons, as a sign or repentance and contrition, and for protection and victory in battle.

    Yes, fasting is talked about in the New Testament but, is it a commanded activity? Scripture and verse please, used in context.

    Matthew 17:21, 'Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.' is often quoted, even bragged about as per Luke 18:12. Interestingly enough this phrase, "and fasting" does not appear in all ancient manuscripts. And, because of this the "and fasting" and sometimes the whole scripture is omitted from some modern translations.

    Matthew 17:21 is specific in the purpose of fasting, exorcism. I haven't seen any genuine instances of this practice among modern Pentecostals and Charismatics. Hence my questioning the modern practice.

    (Side question: Can a Christian be demon possessed? I think not, but that's for another time...)

    Mark 2:19-20 Is interesting. "And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? as long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast. But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days." What days were those, how long did they last? Please notice who those questioining a lack of fasting were.

    We brag that He will never leave us or forsake us, do we believe it? Are we talking about His legal Presence or just His Manifest Presence? From the time of His arrest until the The Day of Pentecost I am absolutely sure they were fasting, in mourning. Does The Holy Spirit count as His Presence?

    And, never forget that even in Jesus' time while He was here teaching, He spoke of fasting not as a religious exercise but, as the inability to eat. For whatever reason.

    Have I ever fasted? Yes. Once, under explicit invitation of The Holy Spirit because it was troubling to me that I was unable to do so amidst all the bragging and high pressure, and I was given hope and help. I have something that can only be described as emotionally induced hypoglycemia, fasting makes me sick, faint and unable to function. I am better now but, I seek The Holy Spirit's direction not bragging rights, and I dare not obtain or practice a "holier than thou" attitude against my brothers and sisters.

    One final thought…  Those of you who do practice fasting, when you do, do you do anything other than "prayer and fasting"? I mean *if* you are going to do it right, shouldn't you be doing nothing but prayer while fasting?


  • 25-Jan-2026 0740 Well, thus far Diasopia as a Facebook alternative is a bust. Very slow and apparently it only works if you put a lot of effort into it.

    Is it a Chore or is it a Task? ~~~Aw ~~~Man... I have to do the litter boxes... I have four cats and a kitten, lots of littered liter boxes. ~~~Aw ~~~Man... I have to unload the dish washer. Well it does make them more available. ~~~Aw ~~~Man... I have to load the dish washer. It is amazing how differently you approach the sink when it is empty.

    So, is it a chore or a task? Attitude does make a difference, and it can affect how well the task is done and even how long it takes. It could be a labor of love. Both for my cats and then for my daughter who is the one who tasked the empty sink.

    A little change can make a big difference. So, we finally got an outlet fixed that allowed us to move the Kuerig and Coffee Pot off our tiny kitchen counter into a corner of the dining room. We aren't done yet, but it is nice not having to unplug one thing to use another. It also allowed us to set up the crock pot and have a great Sunday Dinner. As well as an old Proctor-Silex mini-grill and, still have loads of counter space.

    We are reclaiming our kitchen!

    We were also able to clean off the stove and make breakfast, which hasn't been done since my wife passed four years ago.

    All for a small electrical repair. *MORALE BOOST*


  • 15-Jan-2026 0820 Thought it might be nice to share two lists to help you move to another social media platform.
    Duck Duck Go & Google


  • 15-Jan-2026 0820 Good morning!
     This morning, I decided to try to get back on Facebook. I created yet another gmail account, and using my step-dads last name and a legal alias I thought I had successfully created a new Facebook account.
     Unfortunately within a short period of time, I was again being required to give them a video selfie to prove my identity.  ENOUGH is ENOUGH!
     I am now trying out an open source platform; diasporasocial as spiritualmadman.


  • 06-Jan-2026 1700 The other day I over heard a reading from a 'different' version of the Bible where it stated, '... and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.'
    I was brought up short by the Spirit, because the KJV says it this way, '... and without shedding of blood is no remission.' What is wrong with 'forgiveness'?
    The chief issue is that forgiveness has been used, er abused, and no longer truly portrays what The Blood of Jesus has done for us, the COMPLETE removal of the evidence of sin.
    Hence, remission more properly intimates that concept. Today's churches tend to make grace without cost the way of the Word.

    The Google AI says it this way:

    Note: Every time I redid the search I got different results. The above results are what I grew up with.


  • 06-Jan-2026 1600 Around the first of last Novemeber I came to the conclusion that it would be impossible to clear years of posts on Facebook and deleted the account.
    Approximately 45 days later I recreated the account using the only e-mail I had left that wasn't blocked by Facebook.
    Apparently, any e-mail associated with a deleted account is blocked, as was the emails associated with the Facebook posting of House of Myrrh.
    Having more than one computer, and being half asleep, I entered the wrong (but previously correct) log-in information, twice. Which got me blocked
    Facebook is now requiring a Video Selfie, which I flatly refuse to provide.
    META the parent company of Facebook is, IMHO, one of the largest data brokers on earth, and as a purveyor of AI, I simply do not trust them not to use my image improperly.
