Check for yourself….14% Of the childbearing population (in the U.S.) are black…. Yet they account for 44 million abortions…. I believe the statistic dates back to 1973 & the initiation of Roe vs Wade…. With a total of all abortions being around 60 million….. Somebody please check and correct me if this is inaccurate….update… Checked it myself… From 1979 to 2014 35.9 Million black babies have been aborted…

I know what you’re thinking, some of you anyway… Here we go with another talk about the ‘power of prayer’…. Because you might be saying “I pray to God all the time, and I get very few prayers answered (At least not the answer that I want)… It seems I’m talking to the ceiling”… Well friend we’ve all been there, but we really can’t depend on what we see & the way we ‘feel’ often times. Seems to me we should be asking this question… Why are most people even Christians, slack when it comes to knowledge concerning the spirit world, especially as it relates to the physical world?… the thing that we need most we are ‘coming up short’ big time in… And I know this living in the flesh is very demanding, and it’s hard to rise above it, but we must.

I understand why this happens, but I find it totally peculiar that a lot of people are totally unaware that there is a spiritual realm, that is much bigger and more powerful than the physical realm… And this is not at all to diminish what’s going on in the physical realm… In fact they are totally connected… Let’s look at a few things…

Daniel 10:12+…( Jump back and start reading at Daniel 10 vs 10)…vs 12: Then he said to me, “ Do not fear, Daniel, For from the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard; And I have come because of your words…

Daniel 10:13+… But the Prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me 21 days; and behold, Michael one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left alone there with the king of Persia. Now I have come to make you understand what will happen to your people in the latter days, for the vision refers to many days yet to come.“…( I ask you, are we currently in those days mentioned?)

Note: In reference to the scripture part…” The Prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me 21 days.”…. That’s very interesting, and without going into the details right now, I would strongly suggest that each Continent, each Nation that exists in the world, has a ruling Prince from the dark hierarchy of Satanic Authority…[ Yes there are strong ‘demonic entities’ that oversee / are assigned to geograpbical regions of the Earth]…. If you don’t believe me study for yourself…

Further…2 Corinthians 10: 3+…For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: ( For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ, And having in a ‘readiness to revenge all disobedience’, when your obedience is fulfilled… Do you see that friends?… Through the readiness of our obedience, we can take revenge on all disobedience… At the same time vengeance is the Lord’s… Bottom line is we are to gird up and stand…

So just how important is the power of prayer?…1 Thessalonians 5:17 Pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; For this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you…( let’s clear something up right now… To pray without ceasing does not mean non stop prayer 24/7)….IMHO… It means to be in the ‘practice’ of praying and taking things both good and bad before the Lord, ‘to petition the Lord.’….

This here’s another story about old Frankie Snit…. His smells just like death, but folks get used to it… He looks just like his grandmother, but he’s learned to view it as a gift…. However Frankie doesn’t like to talk in public, because he has a harelip…

Frankie often hops the local train and goes wherever it will… He likes to dwell in open door boxcars… thinks of it as a thrill…

Some say Frankie has a girlfriend at the South end of town… But everyone knows it’s his sister, They like to dress up as clowns…

They like to get up on stage and tell some wild yarns… about roaming through the countryside, and sleeping with animals in barns…telling of encounters with drifters they’ve had, gypsies selling snake oil…. evenings camping down by a riverside, enjoying a good old fashioned crab boil…

They have a fisherman friend named Terry… and the story they tell is this… He will pull up his boat beside you some nights, and cook up some fresh caught fish… Terry doesn’t ask you for money, hes just happy to spend some time… But soon he’s back in his boat a’ fishin’… gives him his peace of mind….

So that’s enough for now about Frankie…. We’ll see what happens to him next… If he runs upon some good fortune, or ends up being vexed…littleraventhepoet.blog…Sincerely, Frank Payton.

This hears the continuing story of old Frankie Snit…. He looked just like a toad, but he learned to live with it, He was short necked, frumpy, and squatty, but really didn’t give a shit…

He hopped around his medieval looking town… searching for flies he’d go, see Frankie had a tongue like a lizard, he could snatch a fly right off the end of your nose…

Frankie was easy to get along with…. but he carried a heavy load, it were’nt easy being a man and living the life of a toad…

Frankie had this really bad habit… he liked to stare at the stars…but he liked to do it in the middle of the road at night… and one night he was squashed by a car… some say Frankie had a death wish… He just got tired of the life of a toad... I think in the back of his mind, Frankie knew he would die in the road….littleraventhepoet.blog

This here’s the story of old Frankie Snit…. He only had one ear, but he heard pretty well with it… He only had one eye, t’was in the middle of his head, Every time Frankie looked in the mirror, he wished that he was dead….

Frankie was from a small town and everyone knew of him, Some said his mother and father must have committed some horrible sins, It was easy for Frankie to believe, that his life was horrible cursed, But when he looked upon his sister, he knew she had it worse…

The people of this small town all knew of Frankie’s sis.. She was bent over and hump-backed, and when she spoke to people, she’d spit…

Sis had a big old black mole, where a long hair in the midst did sit, t’was right on the end of her nose, but that wasn’t the worst of it, if you looked upon her ugly feet you could see she was missing some toes, Her fingers were long with black painted nails, her green teeth were hardly in rows… But sis had one thing going for her, they say she was a Soothsayer… But everybody thought she was a little bit off, when she said she would run for Mayor…

So this is the story of Frankie and his sister, quite the grotesque pair, see it didn’t matter where they would go, everyone would gawk and stare... Visit my blog….littleraventhepoet.blog…Sincerely, Frank Payton.

Chapter VII.

” What a place to find one’s divinity in! said Lord Henry….”Yes,” answered Dorian Gray. “It was here I found her, and she is divine beyond all living things. When she acts you will forget everything. These common, rough people, with their coarse faces and brutal gestures, become quite different when she is on the stage. They sit silently and watch her. They weep and laugh as she wills them to do. She makes them as responsive as a violin. She spiritualizes them, and one feels that they are of the same flesh and blood as one’s self.”… To write like Oscar Wilde (dreaming).littleraventhepoet.blog

There are many mysterious things in this world and in this life… Many things about being birthed into this world, and finding yourself in this flesh blood and bone existence, spinning on a rock through the vastness of space… A lot of people call it the ‘Water Planet’….I like to call it the ‘Rock’… Maybe it’s a ‘Wet Rock’…. Anyway you dice it up, it’s beautiful…. But full of trouble.

So what’s the big mystery?…. Well that’s complicated, but we”ll start in on it…. People who are unawares and ignorant, basically talk about the end of things, the end of the world, the end of life and so on…

But consider this my ‘Lovelies’… There is no ‘end’ or ‘endings’, when it comes to the one true God of this whole creation…. There is no death in or from God…He’s A God of life… Of course I’m aware that there is ‘judgment from God’… & War that is encouraged & ‘Sanctioned by God’…which brings about death, but it’s really ‘after the fact’ of what happened in the garden of Eden…

We have to be clear on a couple of things… One situation and problem in the world that I would like to address is this.. A lot of people wonder and complain that if there is a God, why does He sit idly by and watch all the death and destruction that happens on His earth, on His creation?…. If He is God, why doesn’t He intervene and make things ‘right’ so to speak?…. Well I suggest that He has intervened… He has intervened in a big time way, ( over 2000 yrs ago) but maybe we have missed it, maybe we don’t want to see it, maybe we need more than what He has done, maybe we don’t understand what He’s done… Maybe we don’t want Him meddling in what we call ‘our lives’…. But friends I will go out on a limb and say, don’t you know that you don’t even have life without Him?… A God so powerful… That he spoke all of creation into existence, and is the light of every man and woman that has ever lived… or will live… whether you or I care to acknowledge it or not… As a matter of fact, with the power of His Word, Jesus keeps this planet spinning through space, keeps all the stars exactly where they are… manages the vastness of the universe, as we go on our merry way with our lives… yet He continues to love us…

So when you look around at all the crazy people in the world, and all the crazy stuff that is going on, realize that this FLESH ACTIVITY is a manifestation of what is happening in the spirit world, the battle that is going on in heaven, just as sure as I recline here, and speak these words… Some people want to serve God, some people could care less about God & want to serve Satan…. God has given us free will… and will honor our choices… However there are consequences… Life is given as a gift and God does not take it lightly about how we spend it… Unlike the current culture that we live in, and the spirit of lawlessness so rampant, God requires accountability for our lives… If you don’t feel like you have to be accountable to God, you have to ask yourself where did this spirit that controls you, come from?

I mentioned ‘war going on in heaven’…. Here is a mystery for you to consider… That war is coming to earth… It’s coming in the form of what is called the 7 year tribulation… It’s coming in the form of a ‘new world order’ that is quickly developing… coming in the form of the Anti-Christ, showing up on earth to wreak havoc…. I’m not making this up…. Study for yourselves….littleraventhepoet.blog……Sincerely, Frank Payton…

A study in the very important chapter of Romans 8:18 & forward…

For I consider the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.

For the creation was subjected to futility,(disappointment, misery,)…. not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope, because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birthpangs together until now.

Not only that, but we also who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body. For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance…Comments below…

Friends it’s all about awareness… I need to awake from my slumber, we all need to awake from our slumber… especially here in the United States… For those of us that believe and even some that don’t believe yet.. It’s time to return/ or turn to our first love ( which should be God our creator)…. To the glorious freedom ‘or hope’ of our salvation experience..

Have you looked around at the world friends?…. Whether you know it or not, we are coming up on the ‘end of an age’.. Some people like to call it the ‘end of the world’ but it’s not that at all… After the coming wars, ( The Tribulation Period ) this world will at least be renewed and more than likely totally remade… And it sounds cliche, but it’s the age old struggle between good and evil, between Satan and God, and between life-and-death…more particularly ‘the spirit of life-and-death.’… For those of you that don’t understand this, here is the problem in a nice sweet nut shell… God is creator of the universe, and He gives life to His creation and to human beings and the animal kingdom… Satan is also a created being, but he was unhappy with his position and he challenged God because he wanted / wants to be number one… So basically since he can’t be number one, he tries to destroy everything that is of God, especially humanity which is made in the “image of God.”….and not only humanity, but the very creation also…That’s kind of funny because Satan can’t create anything except destruction…

So do you understand what’s going on in the world?…. Why is there such physical, spiritual, and political division?…. Here is what we have in my humble opinion… The basic forces of evil are moving this age towards the ‘New World Order’… through the globalist agenda and those that want to set the stage for the coming Anti-Christ ( The Democrats are the main bad actors at this point, but many Republicans are complicit) which will lead to Daniel’s 70th week and the ‘Tribulation Period’…[ Please friends this is not just me rambling…. you can Google the ‘Tribulation Period’..You can Google the ‘Anti-Christ’, and study it for yourself, I’m just a voice in the wilderness…. So you have to ask yourself, what do you believe & why do believe it?…. If you don’t care about spiritual things like salvation…the eternal destiny of your soul… then “Sleep On Sweet Charlotte.”…. But if you do care about these things, you better start studying and preparing, because it’s coming whether you or I, or anyone else believes or not….because it’s all prophesied…. What is prophecy?… God’s word, The Bible is full of prophecy… Prophecy is ‘written history before it happens’…. Who has done that predicting with 100% accuracy?.. Only God…. I sincerely hope that the start you down the path of study for yourself….littleraventhepoet.blog….Sincerely, Frank Payton…

Paragraph or sentence of the day… Chris Wallace is a prick…. Listening to him and his guest on Fox the guest had to tell him at least 3 times, what a silly question that is being asked by Chris…. He sounds like one of these devious democratic Congress people quizzing Attorney General Barr…. Just sickening
