A Conversation With GOD
Isn’t it absolutely amazing that we can truly have a conversation with our God and receive His answers?!
You may ask “A conversation works two ways, so how can you hear His answers?”
Well, it certainly is NOT like “Jesus Calling” where the author does what is called “Automatic writing!” That is so new age and unbiblical!
We have the Holy Spirit Inspired Word of God, and in it is every answer, all of His Counsel – literally EVERYTHING that our Lord wants His children to know.
Me: Lord, some days I get so anxious with what is happening in America. I just don’t know what to do
GOD: “Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness” (Isaiah 41:10).
Me: But Lord, there are times when I just want to hide!
GOD: “Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah. I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye” (Psalm 32:7-8).
Me: I don’t want to be here anymore, Lord! I yearn to be with you in heaven.
GOD: “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also” (John 14:1-3).
Me: Father God, I cry so many tears!
GOD: “Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?” (Psalms 56:8).
Me: Lord, my own flesh and blood hate me and despise the words I say about You.
GOD: “Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division: For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three. The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law” (Luke 12:51-53).
Me: Father, many who say they are born again in You, also say there are many ways to heaven. Why is there so much confusion?
“Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition”(2Thessalonians 2:3). “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (John 14:6).
Me: Why are so many pastors teaching what is not in Your Word? And why are many of these churches filled with so many people?
GOD: “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables” (2 TIMOTHY 4:3-4).
Brethren, there are so many more questions that we can ask of our Lord and Savior. Be assured that His Word contains the answers to all of our questions. We can trust the Lord completely – He cannot lie!
Here is one of my favorite songs which contains God’s Word. Sometimes I wake up in the morning with this song playing in my mind, and it comforts me:

NBC News Claims Biden Fought WITH Segregationists to Ban Busing School Children
One thing I really love about Primary debates is this: We not only get the dirt on candidates, but the mud-slinging comes from fellow candidates. Kamala Harris’s accusation that Biden was with the segregationists in the 1970’s is TRUE.
This might just wake up Sleepy Joe.
From nbcnews.com
Joe Biden didn’t just compromise with segregationists. He fought for their cause in schools, experts say.
Joe Biden helped give America the language that is still used to oppose school integration today, legislative and education history experts say.
In a 1975 Senate hearing, the legendary civil rights lawyer Jack Greenberg had something to say to freshman Sen. Joe Biden.
Greenberg, longtime director of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, took Biden to task for sponsoring a bill that would limit the power of courts to order school desegregation with busing. It was a move that followed the wishes of many of Biden’s white constituents in Delaware.
The bill “heaves a brick through the window of school integration,” said Greenberg, one of the lawyers who had won the Brown v. Board of Education case that ended legal school segregation 21 years earlier. And according to Greenberg, Biden was the man with his hand on the brick.
Biden’s role in fighting student busing more than four decades ago has received renewed attention after the 76-year-old presidential candidate touted his ability to compromise with segregationists during his long Senate career. Biden said he disagreed strongly with these Southerners’ views but needed to work with them to get things done. Biden’s comments set off a firestorm among his political rivals and some political analysts, who described his language as offensive and anachronistic.
But political experts and education policy researchers say Biden, a supporter of civil rights in other arenas, did not simply compromise with segregationists — he also led the charge on an issue that kept black students away from the classrooms of white students. His legislative work against school integration advanced a more palatable version of the “separate but equal” doctrine and undermined the nation’s short-lived effort at educational equality, legislative and education history experts say.
“Biden, who I think has been good overall on civil rights, was a leader on anti-busing,” Rucker Johnson, author of the book “Children of the Dream: Why School Integration Works,” said. “A leader on giving America the language to oppose it despite it being the most effective means of school integration at that time.”
That, of course, is not how Biden sees it.
On Saturday, Biden defended his work with segregationist senators in an interview with the Rev. Al Sharpton on MSNBC: “You got to deal with what’s in front of you and what was in front of you was a bunch of racists and we had to defeat them.”
After this article was originally published, Biden’s national press secretary, Jamal Brown, emailed a statement saying that Biden was never opposed to integration, and in fact supported the concept. But he said Biden opposed Delaware’s busing methods, and included statements from black activists in Delaware who also opposed busing.
In March, Biden’s spokesman, Bill Russo, said the former vice president believes he was right to oppose busing.
“He never thought busing was the best way to integrate schools in Delaware — a position which most people now agree with,” Russo told The Washington Post in March. “As he said during those many years of debate, busing would not achieve equal opportunity. And it didn’t.”
In 1975, Biden was representing a state where one of the first major urban school desegregation plans had been ordered by a court. Many white parents in the Wilmington area were angry. In response, Biden sponsored not just the bill limiting courts’ power but also an amendment to an appropriations bill that barred the federal government from withholding funding from schools that remained effectively segregated.
The amendment went beyond the busing issue, affecting school systems that effectively separated students by race whether or not they used busing. Co-sponsors included segregationist Sens. Jesse Helms, R-N.C., and Strom Thurmond, R-S.C. The amendment passed the Senate on a 50-43 vote, including majorities of both Democrats and Republicans. (Biden was not alone among northern Democrats who supported it — in that group, 14 supported the amendment and 26 opposed it, according to the Congressional Quarterly.)

When Biden rose to defend the amendment, he said that the “assignment of schools and/or classes because of a person’s race … is a counterproductive concept that is causing more harm to equal education than any benefit.”
Biden’s anti-integration efforts didn’t end in 1975. Two years later, he co-authored a bill that barred federal courts from ordering busing plans unless courts found evidence of discriminatory intent. That legislation failed.
A 1977 report on school desegregation by the Civil Rights Commission, a federal agency, described Biden’s activities as stymieing school integration.
Federal data analyzed by Johnson and other researchers shows that busing succeeded in narrowing racial achievement gaps before frontal assaults and legislative maneuvers by Biden and othersrendered it easier for districts under court order to be released from integration demands. America’s school integration efforts lasted, all told, no more than 15 years, Johnson said.
Johnson has reviewed data on more than 10,000 students from this period, who were studied for decades afterward. He found that black adults who spent the most time in integrated schools attained more education, completed college, maintained better health and earned higher incomes than peers who spent less time or no time in integrated schools. All of this happened without any reduction in white student grades or outcomes, the data shows. And white adults who attended integrated schools reported better understanding of issues affecting nonwhite Americans.
“Integration is a social good which also happens to make for high-quality education,” said Johnson, an economist and professor of public policy at the University of California, Berkeley. “It is also the one thing that has worked but the one thing most people don’t want to talk about and many people fight if we even try.”
Biden was particularly effective in fighting integration because he did not use the overtly racist language of the segregationists, who warned of race mixing and black inferiority, Johnson said. Instead, Biden, along with other centrists and liberals, talked about “forced busing,” “local control” and “parents’ rights.”
At the time, Biden said the solution was not busing but creating better schools everywhere, something the country has failed to accomplish.
That idea has shown up all over the country in recent years, in school assignment fights from Brooklyn to Birmingham. It is dressed up but essentially an argument for separate but equal schools, Johnson said.
Apart from the busing issue, Biden developed a legislative history in other areas key to black Americans over his decades in the Senate. It includes support for fair housing, employment and voting rights, as well as credit and lending equality and opposition to the apartheidin South Africa.
Today, Biden has an army of defenders in the Congressional Black Caucus and in Democratic political circles.
Former Rep. Lee Hamilton, D-Ind., described Biden as an inclusive, energetic supporter of civil rights — and said the busing issue was an exception.
“He disappointed, if you would, mainstream progressive Democrats, including me, and yet I considered him an ally in most fights and was always glad to have him on my side,” Hamilton said.
But to critics, Biden’s cozy familiarity with deal-making among white men does not pair well with the often uncomfortable, sometimes disruptive, work of creating equality.
“Is this the model of politics and government that he’s operating in today?” said Brenda Carter, director of the Reflective Democracy Campaign, which aims to change the demographics of political power.
These critics want to know whether Biden would be an ally in this fight for equality. While children of color comprise the majority of students in public K-12 classrooms, most attend low-quality, highly segregated schools.
“For those of us who didn’t have any power and had no seat at the bargaining table, this is part of the reason we are so deeply in need of bodacious, radical reforms today,” said LaTosha Brown, co-founder of Black Voters Matter, which advocates for expanded voting access.
Biden’s use of “not segregationists but avowed racists as a reference point for how you work across the aisle,” she said, “begs the question of literally who is he trying to appeal to.” source

ANTIBUSING MEASURE APPROVED IN SENATE
WASHINGTON, Sept. 17 (UPI)—The Senate approved today anti‐busing language that would prevent the Department of Health, Education and Welfare from using Federal funds to compel communities to bus pupils as a means of school desegregation.
The Senate voted 50 to 43 to attach an anti‐busing provision offered by Senator Joseph Biden, Democrat of Delaware, to a $36.2‐billion appropriations bill, after defeating a more sweeping version offered by Senator Jesse Helms, Republican of North Carolina.
The Senate voted 48 to 43 to table Helms amendment, which would have also prevented H.E.W. from keeping any “records, files, reports or statistics” needed to even identify segregated school systems.
The Helms amendment was killed on a motion by Senator Edward W. Brooke, Republican of Massachusetts, the Senate’s only black. source
So, there you have it in black and white (no pun intended). This statement from Biden keeps coming into my mind:

ORWELLIAN CONTACT TRACING: Government is Hiring For This At an Alarming Rate
The practice of Contact Tracing is not as innocuous as it is presented to be. This is an infringement on our rights, and I believe that this will be used by Antichrist when he reveals his true nature.
All technology created today will definitely be used by AC.
I have been researching this subject for over a month. I went into several “Jobs” sites and I was shocked at the number of open positions for Contact Tracing. It all started when I received numerous emails from FEMA. The emails stated that they saw me perusing job sites and wanted me to know that they were hiring.
If the reader has an iPhone or Android, please go to “Settings”, then Privacy, then “Health.” You will see several promptings for health matters and history of health. It says that you can set the privacy on these.
I do not believe that.

Contact Tracing and 26 Other Surprising Industries Hiring More Than Ever
The Labor Department announced that the week ending April 11 saw an astonishing 5.25 million new jobless claims. In just four weeks, virtually all of the job creation since the Great Recession has been wiped out, and there have been over 20 million new unemployment claims in the month of April alone. That means the coronavirus pandemic already has more than doubled the job losses of the financial crisis.
While some people are capable of working from home, or have the savings that will allow them to wait out the worst of the crisis, many don’t have the financial resources to go without a paycheck. Others don’t have any reason to think they’ll be working again in the near future.
However, while many industries have been dealt a crushing blow, a handful of lucky ones are actually experiencing an explosion in demand. These businesses are working hard to hire thousands of new people to keep up with the surge in demand and help service customers in these gloomy times. In fact, many are even increasing wages and/or benefits by a significant amount.
Whether you’re looking for a part-time stop-gap job to make ends meet or trying to find a new full-time job that might last beyond the crisis, know that there are industries in great shape. Here’s a closer look at the industries that are not only bucking the trend of higher unemployment — they are hiring faster than ever before.
Beyond including people with the virus who clearly didn’t die from it, the numbers are inflated by counting people who don’t even have the virus. New York has classified many cases as coronavirus deaths even when postmortem tests have been negative. The diagnosis can be based on symptoms, even though the symptoms are often similar to those of the seasonal flu.
The Centers for Disease Control guidance explicitly acknowledges the uncertainty that doctors can face when identifying the cause of death. When coronavirus cases are “suspected,” the agency counsels doctors that “it is acceptable to report COVID-19 on a death certificate.” This advice has produced a predictable inflation in the numbers. When New York City’s death toll rose above 10,000 on April 21, the New York Times reported that the city included “3,700 additional people who were presumed to have died of the coronavirus but had never tested positive” – more than a 50% increase in the number of cases.
Nor can this be explained by false-negative results in the tests. For the five most commonly used tests, the least reliable test still scored a 96% accuracy rate in laboratory settings. Some doctors report feeling pressure from hospitals to list deaths as being due to the coronavirus, even when the doctors don’t believe that is the case “to make it look a little bit worse than it is.” That is pressure they say they never previously faced in reporting deaths from the seasonal flu.
There are financial incentives that might make a difference for hospitals and doctors. The CARES Act adds a 20% premium for COVID-19 Medicare patients. Birx and others are also concerned that the CDC’s “antiquated” accounting system is double-counting cases and inflating mortality and case counts “by as much as 25%.” When all these anomalies are added up, it becomes apparent that we simply don’t have an accurate death toll from this new coronavirus. But it seems clear that the correct rate is just a little worse than the rate for the 2017-2018 flu.
Meanwhile, the Washington Post, New York Times, and others claim that we are undercounting the true number of deaths. They reach that conclusion by showing that the total number of deaths from all causes is about 30% greater than we would typically expect from March through early May. They then conclude that the excess is due to deaths not being accurately labeled as due to the coronavirus.
But these are not normal times. Many people with heart problems aren’t going to the hospital for fear of the virus. Delaying cancer surgeries and other serious medical treatments for months has real impacts on life expectancies. The stress of the situation is almost certainly increasing suicides and other illnesses. Which is not to minimize the threat: Even if the true death toll is now closer to 50,000 than 100,000, this pandemic is a big deal. But we need some perspective. During the 2017-18 flu season, 61,000 Americans died from the flu.
Public health officials need to face a lot of serious questions about how they counted Coronavirus deaths. We don’t have all the answers yet, but it’s clear the inflated numbers have helped mislead people into a state of alarmism. source
Brethren, do you actually think that what is transpiring in America in 2020 is just happenstance? May I remind you of Event 201 which took place in October of 2019?
“EVENT 201” A SIMULATION of A GLOBAL PANDEMIC Which Took Place on October 18, 2019: COINCIDENCE? YOU DECIDE <click here to read
America has been played by the Elite Leftists which include Bill Gates, Tony Fauci, Obama and Deep State.
I also believe that the horrific riots with burning and looting and murder was planned by Deep State. Please notice that the cities in which the riots are taking place are ALL governed by the Left.
Both Covid 19 and the horrifying riots of ANTIFA and BLM are weapons against the Trump Administration. George Soros, who funds the riots, believes that Covid 19 and the Murderous riots in the streets will ensure a Democrat victory in November.
Only God knows what will happen in the upcoming presidential elections. But I believe that there are many millions of Americans who are so disgusted with what is happening today; and on Election Day they will voice their disgust by voting Republican.
I pray for God’s will to be done. The party which will prevail in November is whomever God has allowed.
We must trust Him implicitly.
