“Looking at the Invisible” by William Oldham

“…We fix out eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” 2 Corinthians 4:18

“By faith Moses left Egypt, not fearing the king’s anger; he persevered because he saw Him Who is invisible.” Hebrews 11:27

“…Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus…” Hebrews 12:2

One of the names of Jesus is Wonderful Counselor. Here we have Jesus, through His Holy Spirit, counseling His church as to what they are to have the eyes of their hearts fixed on. They are to be fixed on Him, the Head and the Savior of the body of Christ. We are members of His body: He feeds and cares for us; His word is what we live by.

Moses is given to us as an example of what we are speaking of here. He was raised up in the king of Egypt’s household. It could be said of Moses that, “He had it made.” He would have grown up, surrounded by and having access to, the greatest riches in Egypt; he would have experienced a lavish, luxurious lifestyle. Moses could have had anything his heart desired, and yet, he willingly turned his back on it. Who would do that?

Moses did because, “He regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead to his reward…He persevered because he saw Him Who is invisible.” Hebrews 11:26

Faith was Moses’ eyesight, he believed in the I AM, and chose Him as his portion in this life; we fix our eyes on Christ by trusting and obeying His word.

Jacob’s son Joseph is an example of the reward that comes from having your eyes fixed on God. This young man was sold into slavery by his brothers and carried off into a foreign country. He found himself isolated in a land where he knew no one; and was sold as a slave. The man who purchased Joseph soon realized he was highly favored by his God, and put him in charge of everything he owned, except his wife.

Joseph would have been in his early 20’s and is described as, “handsome and well built.” The wife fixed her eyes on Joseph and tried to seduce him several times—quite a temptation for any young man, But he “refused to go to bed with her or even be with her,” Listen to his answer to the woman:

“No one is greater in this house than I am. My master has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do such a wicked thing and sin against God?” Genesis 39:9

Here was a young man, all alone in a strange land and a slave, being sorely tempted; but in that darkness, faith in his invisible God was his guiding light. Because of his faithfulness to God, God raised Joseph up to become lord over Egypt under the king.

We, who claim to be the children of God, have a much greater light than Moses or Joseph. Jesus Christ is the light of the world. When a person is born again Christ takes up residence in that person, and the light of His life begins to shine out from them. So we may say with the apostle Paul:

“I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, Who loved me and gave Himself up for me.” Galatians 2:20

Moses gave up the treasures of the world and Joseph gave up the pleasures of the world, because their eyes were fixed on their and our invisible God. God help us who have a much greater light, to separate ourselves from the love of the treasures and pleasures of this world, and fix our eyes on Jesus.

“Though you have not seen Him, you love Him; and even though you do not see Him now, you believe in Him…” 1 Peter 1:8

SHOCKING: Catholic University Brought in ‘Abortion Doula’ who Coaches Pregnant Men Through Giving Birth

PURE INSANITY!

First of all, please understand that there is NO SUCH THING as a pregnant man.  And if you are a person who has bought into this lunacy, you need to get your head out of the sand and understand that the trans movement (and most of the medical world) are lying to us!

They are DARING us to speak out as I am doing. I might even be arrested for stating the truth, but at this point – I don’t care. TRUTH  is more important than allowing people to buy into these LIES!

Before you read the Daily Signal piece, I want you to read what may be the MOST honest article about sex-reassignment surgeries.

Transgender Surgery Isn’t the Solution by Dr. Paul McHugh from Johns Hopkins

Excerpt:

“At the heart of the problem is confusion over the nature of the transgendered. “Sex change” is biologically impossible. People who undergo sex-reassignment surgery do not change from men to women or vice versa. Rather, they become feminized men or masculinized women. Claiming that this is civil-rights matter and encouraging surgical intervention is in reality to collaborate with and promote a mental disorder.” by Dr. Paul McHugh – former head of Psychiatry at Johns Hopkins.

From dailysignal.com

A self-declared “abortion doula” spoke this week to Catholic University of America students about her experiences coaching women through delivering or aborting babies, as well as coaching “pregnant men” to deliver in what she called a “seahorse birth,” according to audio of the class lecture obtained by The Daily Signal.

A Catholic University nursing student described Tuesday’s lecture to The Daily Signal, saying the guest speaker said she also practices Reiki, a controversial Japanese method of spiritual healing and self-improvement.

The Roman Catholic school confirmed that the doula spoke to the class, said she didn’t represent the school’s values, and vowed that she wouldn’t speak to the class again.

“It was really unsettling,” nursing student Felipe Avila, 20, told The Daily Signal in a phone interview Friday. “The fundamental point is to understand human development from conception to natural death, right? And they brought in someone who counsels women to terminate life.”

Psychology lecturer Melissa Goldberg invited the doula, Rachel Carbonneau, to address her class, titled Psychology 379: Lifespan Development.

The term doula usually refers to a professional who provides physical and emotional support to a woman before, during, and shortly after childbirth. Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion provider, defines an abortion doula as someone who “provides physical and emotional support to a patient during their abortion process.”

Carbonneau identified herself to the class as an “abortion doula,” according to the audio recording obtained by The Daily Signal. The founder and CEO of the LGBTQ-aligned doula company Family Ways also was an English lecturer at Catholic University from 2005 to 2008, her LinkedIn profile says.

Avila, the nursing student, said he first recognized the doula’s misalignment with the Catholic school’s values when Carbonneau began “using terms like birthing persons [and] pregnant person.” The lecturer was “very strategic in avoiding the word ‘woman,’” Avila said.

One of Avila’s classmates repeatedly asked Carbonneau how abortion ties into her work as a doula, which prompted the lecturer to share her pro-abortion stance openly.

“This is a space I feel comfortable navigating,” the doula said in response to questions.

Carbonneau also described what she called “seahorse birth.”

Listen here:

“We work with trans clients,” Carbonneau told students, according to the audio. “I have some men who have given birth; it’s amazing, we call it seahorse birth. It’s lovely, especially when it’s a water birth; it’s fantastic.”

Female seahorses still produce eggs and male seahorses fertilize them, but male seahorses incubate the young in a special pouch, from which the young emerge. This does not mean male seahorses become female, but they do appear to “give birth,” in a sense, so pro-transgender activists claim that when a “transgender man” gives birth, that is similar to a male seahorse doing so.

She insisted: “It’s not my business as a doula or a human being to pass judgment on how anybody else chooses to live their life.”

When discussing the stigma of “pregnant men,” Carbonneau urged students to “normalize” the discussion of women who identify as men giving birth.

“I think just normalizing it, right? Using the gender-neutral language, talking about pregnant men as pregnant people, pregnant women, pregnant men, pregnant humans,” she told the class.

Carbonneau acknowledged the tension between her support for abortion and the Catholic position on the issue, saying she herself had studied at the university.

The Catechism of the Catholic Church states that abortion is a “moral evil” and “gravely contrary to the moral law.”

The doula’s presentation Tuesday at Catholic University felt “unsettling,” Avila said. The student pointed out that “one of the many reasons that students like me and many of my peers made the decision to attend Catholic University is for that Catholic identity.”

“The university should not wait for there to be public pressure or a public outcry for there to be some kind of change … if they want to preserve the Catholic identity, then they need to take these things a lot more seriously,” Avila added.

Carbonneau said she uses Reiki, a Japanese spiritual healing technique condemned by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops as incompatible with Christian teaching and scientific evidence. In 2009, the conference said that “it would be inappropriate for Catholic institutions … to promote or to provide support for Reiki therapy.”

On Friday, Catholic University acknowledged the contradiction between Carbonneau’s support for abortion and the institution’s own values.

“The Catholic University of America was appalled to learn about reports regarding this guest speaker,” the university told The Daily Signal in a written statement Friday. “It does not reflect our mission and values as a university that is committed to upholding the dignity of life at all stages.”

“The guest speaker will not be speaking again to the class, and we are re-communicating the terms and expectations by which all outside speakers are vetted and invited,” the university, added, referring to Carbonneau.

The Daily Signal sought comment from Carbonneau, but did not immediately receive a response. source

Please understand that when you read/hear that a MAN has given birth to a baby – what is actually being said is that this person was born as a woman but has identified as a man. In other words this person has a Uterus!!!  

Hopefully, this clears things up.  When you read that a man has given birth to a baby, I pray that you will think back to the truths in this article.

HOW CAN I BE SAVED?

COME LORD JESUS!!
