Messengers & Messages
By Tennessee Elijah

Honest and intelligent communication between people of all nations
is the only realistic path to peace! Because of many languages and dialects,
it makes accurate translations between those who engage in discourse extremely difficult to decipher. Because of unspoken motivations between those who are aspiring to gain advantages in one way or another, the key element -- "trust" -- is seldom a strong factor on either side of numerous debates taking place on current issues. Therefore, all people need to be taught how to make sharp distinctions between "messengers" who are sharing information -- and the "messages" they bring which might be
factual or deceptive.

In this world where the international media has become nothing more than a cesspool overflowing with daily doses of misinformation, polluting the minds of recipients in ways that are impossible to categorize, we as civilized human beings need to start searching through this maze of contradictions more seriously than ever before! As we make our choices, taking a stand either on the side of Truth or Deception, we can see that the Dividing Line between opposing forces is being formed in every heart -- and the final war is not far away. What great wisdom will be trampled down by mediocrity? What noble purpose will be undone by degenerates who love death and destruction more than Life and creative production? What grand dream or excellent intention will be denied manifestation, because doubters lack common sense or faith?

The first, and most important, thing we need
to teach those who are cynical, ignorant, confused,
or simply misguided is -- how to tell the difference between the messenger and the message.

Too often in human relationships where competition and confrontation prevails, "facts" pertaining to information we are receiving have been distorted. It is very easy to lose respect for anyone who consistently brings erroneous sad or bad "news" about people, places or things. On the other hand, we marvel at how inspirational and informative certain "ideas" can be -- even though the source seems less than credible. Most of us would never expect Satan to say, "Love your neighbors," and we would never expect God to say, "Hate your neighbors." From this simple premise, we can begin to separate the wheat from chaff, the sheep from goats, the saints from sinners, true prophets from false prophets, honest Messengers from deceptive Messengers -- and the good messages from bad messages.

The proper use of words that we all use to express our impressions of "reality" is vital if we want to make a positive impact upon the "thinking processes" of those people we encounter during our communications. Sometimes, others need to fill in the "gaps" between what we have said, and what they instinctively believe that we the speakers or writers intended to say. Sometimes we need to make allowances for unintentional oversights that leave the wrong impressions -- because we the speakers or writers
have failed to adequately express ourselves.

Politicians, religious leaders, and professional journalists often make the mistake of delivering "information" without regard to the ability of we the recipients to interpret their messages. When this happens, a continuous stream of information flows freely out of their souls through the warped souls of humankind without any hope of correction. As we all know, one thought follows another -- and another until the beginning thought is
nothing like what the end thought has become.

Regardless of the intangible variables that make communications
possible, the important thing for all of us to keep in mind is this:
Messengers Die; Messages Live Forever!

While the flesh of all messengers will one day be dust under our feet,
the messages that they deliver will live eternally in human souls -- either in Heaven or Hell! Those original, invisible, spiritual "forces" that prompt each of us to manifest ourselves through actions, words or deeds will eventually find their place with either Satan or God -- after "souls" have passed through the great White Throne Judgment. Until that time comes, let's try to make sense out of nonsense by scrutinizing everything in our present state of existence more carefully. Every aspect of our lifestyles is at risk, making
the concept of Heaven on Earth impossible until we learn how to tell the difference between the lies coming from the Evil One -- and the purity
of Truth that we know comes from "God."

There are challenging lessons to be learned as prophetic insights through commentary reveal "people of interest" in respect to their spiritual nature. Information provided in regard to "current news celebrities" -- along with
the unknown others will be updated periodically when time permits. The first person of interest is President George W. Bush. Whenever reading about him or others by clicking the link below, always ask yourself these questions: Will I get upset if Truth causes turmoil in my evil heart? Will I be wise enough to know the difference between facts and fiction? Am I smart enough to reject a bad Message, or accept a good Message, even though
the messenger is a friend, an enemy, a person loved, a person hated or frequently misunderstood?
