When a man's folly brings his way to ruin, his heart rages against YHWH.
#proverbs 19:3
Fools act foolishly and then blame everyone else for their failures, but especially God.
Treachery
Treachery is Everywhere! Like a camelion it just hides in the culture it resides in.
2019 to 2022 was a rough season. After a season of grief, readjustments and a determination to once again begin again. The healing that took place by the end of 2022 in my homeland down south with it’s very high humidity and some long awaited self care. It wasn’t without it’s trials as some bedeviled man stalked my friend and I to a restaurant and he was party to a plan to kill me by poison. As I began to almost go into convulsions at the table, he turned almost full 40* to the right in his chair hunched down to observe my symptoms with a evil grin on his face (I had overheard him talking with the guy sitting with him about medical staff things) I sensed a level of evil in this white collar professional I hadn’t been around in all my years of deliverance ministry. His satanic attack did not prosper! HalleluYAH! Then another harrassment of a young gun driving a yellow camero or charger (I can’t tell the difference) with black strips down the hood and a young gal with short black hair stalked me around the home and town I grew up in down south. Funny that I see the same guy and gal in the same car here in this prairie town upon my return ? (some people are not as stealth and covert as they think) I labeled them as professional thieves and funeral chasers.
Upon our arrival to the western prairie in 2020, a mid-century modern building caught my eye and it was for sale. I had no way of obtaining it then. The end of 2022 after returning from down south; I saw that the building was up for sale again. After prayer and council I decided to purchase it. I had dreamed of having my own shop of some kind since my mid 30’s and now was my chance in 2022 to do it. I had my own ideas as to what I wanted to do. Formal gowns, Skin care, Bridal Services, Gifts, Home Decor, Dry Salt Therapy & Massage Therapy. Many ideas based on my own prior work experiences, businesses, & the benefits I had gotten from some holistic care.
My first products purchased for The Salt for resale was a line of products because of its 99% fresh pure ingredients and it’s animal rescue philanthropy. My own art prints and greeting cards that were already produced and preparing gift packages incorporating both. After a few attempts to find an aesthetician and even contacting a local college cosmetic school for leads for a new upstart aesthetician with no one taking the generous opportunity I offered them in the first year of preparing to open the business. This is ditto for trying to find a massage therapist as well.
Upon my arrival to the prairie area here in 2020; I started creating products from my digital, painted and photo art prior years, like T shirts, greeting cards of different themes. Those were tampered with and some covertly stolen within a few weeks of having them printed. I also know who was involved in that but do not have solid proof to prosecute. I had affiliation with another local biz where I bought the commercial building; and the owner had also allowed me to display my art products at her business in 2020/2021 for exchange of my time to cover her business from 10am to 12:30/1:00pm since she would be there until 9pm to serve her wonderful entrees of Italian and French plus more cuisine. Such a lovely place to dine and visit. During that time I began to observe the actions of some locals over a few months and then now a couple of years time. Very horrible and petty things that did not go unnoticed by me but much more, it did not go unnoticed by the Creator of Heaven and Earth. He will requite it His Way; believe me. I have served Him for years and have seen how He will vindicate eventually. He knows how to sift it all out regardless of who all was and is involved. The wheels of justice grind slowly but they grind to a fine powder. You may think you have accomplished to get your way but… Yeshua’s day of reckoning is at hand.
During these kinds of harrassments and spiritual battles it can get noisy and messy and even the righteous can make mistakes and Yeshua will bring the correction in those things to His Own Children but scripture is clear that He is the one that judges those in the “world”. He will have compassion and long suffer with those of the world that do wrong to Yeshua’s true children but eventually He may strike you dead for your continuum to harass those of us that are Truly His. Also, never underestimate the treacherous camillian that may be sitting next to you in a church pew either!
When I started The Salt I was determined to prefer my sister in Christ that had a business in the same local; so as to not have the same type of products for sale. My main focus was to be geared toward wellness as I was also starting to learn more about better holistic wellness for my self. There is normal business competition and then there is business teachery by some that are cutthroats. I had a limo biz in the past and believe me I have seen the kind such as this.
After my mother passed away Spring of 2022 and I had finished up most of that business and was headed back west. I wasn’t quite ready for the covert blessing slaughtering harrassment that awaited me upon my return. Returning to an area that offered no sympathy that I had just lost my mother and a band of supposed community minded thieves with members I hadn’t even perceived would be waiting with bated breath to harass, manipulate, steal, and destroy; by early spring of 2023 the satanic harrassment began and upon returning back again after my daughter’s wedding down South early Spring 2023; ill-reputes had tampered with the digital lock on my commercial building and their evil agendas didn’t stop. What do you expect from an area so close to the pony express. Some history never changes and the prairie is a beauty of nature all it’s own but just as there were surely thieves and bandits always hanging around the pony express their inclinations still manifest in the area still today though it’s a new century it is still subject to the same wickedness in the ground and air of the history in it’s pioneers & pioneering stages that the wind hasn’t blown away yet.
All of the harrassments, circumventing, thieveries, supplanting etc has also been used as a sort of directive to allow me to reassess the core value and way that I have chosen.
Wellness spirit, soul and body is the directive. Products may come and go as I thoroughly check the spiritual roots & foundations of said products to purge and shift it all to align with the Creator’s true scriptural instructions regarding true community, true scriptural business practices, true wellness practices & His true scriptural timelines. Yes it does go against the worlds Babylonian system but so be it!

Luke 9:48
Then he said to them, “Whoever welcomes this little child in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. For it is the one who is least among you all who is the greatest.”
As more people transition from mainstream worship to more intimate and in depth small group Bible studies, churches that are losing members (and revenue) wonder why. Many of these churches opt for entertaining worship hoping to regain membership only to find this creates a revolving door effect. This trend will continue unless the church returns to the foundation on which the faith is founded. Jude 1:3 tells us that we should struggle for the faith that was delivered once to the saints. This faith is not found in entertainment but in living the way our Creator designed unto live.
Question 260: What Is Meant By: “This Is Elijah Which Was To Come?”
Answer:
There was a prophecy that YHVH would send Elijah or Elisha to turn the hearts of the people (Malachi 4:5). When John appeared, the Jews asked him if he was Elijah and he answered that he was not (John 15:21). They evidently expected that the literal Elijah, who is represented as ascending to heaven without dying (2 Kings 2:11), would be sent to earth. John knew he was not that He regarded himself as a humble messenger, a mere voice, with no distinction but that of preparing the way. The character of his preaching however shows that, like other messengers from YHVH, he underestimated his dignity. When Moshiach spoke of him He settled the question definitely in the passage you refer to. John, He said, was the Elijah to whom the prophecy referred.
Question 259: What Is Meant By: “For I Am Come To Set A Man At Variance With His Father?
Answer:
This statement (Matthew 10:35) showed the result of His coming, not the purpose of it Moshiach was warning the people who came to Him of the sufferings they would have to endure, among which was this of the hostility of their near relatives. Many were offering themselves as His disciples who expected that He would become the King of Israel and that they would share His glory and He wished none to come with any such idea. He wanted them to count the cost and He told them of the trials awaiting them if they followed Him. They must be quite sure that they loved Him so well that if their fathers or their brothers cast them off for being believers they would be faithful to Moshiach, even at the cost of losing the love of their relatives.
Question 258: What Is Meant By: “I Came Not To Send Peace, But A Sword?”
Answer:
Moshiach's work on the individual soul may help you to understand His meaning (Matthew 10:34). The converted soul enjoys a peace passing all understanding; but how is it attained? The first stages of the process are those of fierce conflict. See the agony, the distress that the majority of men pass through when they are under conviction. It is through conflict that peace is attained. It is so with the evil in the world. Moshiach's Kingdom is one of peace; but not the despicable peace with wickedness and oppression. With those evils there must be war. If a father wisely loves his son, he does not ignore that son's bad ways; he punishes him in order to save him. You may say how do we reconcile the rod in the father's hand with his love for his child. There is no need to reconcile. The rod is a sign and proof of the father's love. So Moshiach's coming brought a sword to smite the evil that is cursing the world.
Question 257: What Is Meant By: “Who Is Able To Destroy Both Soul And Body In Hell?”
Answer:
Gregory Stier and some other writers contend that it is Satan to whom Moshiach refers in Matthew 10:28, but the context disproves this theory. The whole tenor of the chapter is directed to encouraging men to trust in YHVH and to fear offending Him. Moshiach shows in the following verse how YHVH's control covers all life and that without His permission no life is lost Moshiach does not teach us anywhere to fear Satan, but to rejoice that, through Himself, Satan has been overcome. In this passage the contrast is between the fear of man on the one hand, which might lead us to keep away from Moshiach or desert Him lest we should be persecuted; and the fear, on the other hand, of YHVH whose power is infinite in extent and whom we should dread to displease.
Frequently asked questions and answers:
Question 256: Why Did Yeshua Want The News Of His Miracles Kept Quiet?
Answer:
It was probably out of consideration for His followers, as there might be a popular rising which might lead to slaughter. The people were expecting the Messiah to be a King and, if they had recognized Moshiach and still held that notion they would probably have risen in rebellion against Rome. On one occasion (John 6:15), He hid Himself to prevent such a rising. It was safe after His death to preach Him as the Moshiach, because then the spiritual nature of His Kingdom would be understood; but while He lived, it was necessary to avoid publicity. Even the disciples expected that He would make Himself King and did not understand His real purpose until after the resurrection.

even more pertinently, because we are told by our Messiah that to say raca is not so good, but to say fool to anybody but yourself is really not good.
proverbs distinguishes between the scoffer, the wicked, and the fool.
the scoffer scoffs at God, specifically the knowledge of God. in fact, he scoffs at the very fact that God exists, thinking it not real.
the wicked is wicked precisely because he rejects the counsel of God, choosing to rebel against God's commands. consciously. and he's wicked because he DOES know God exists. conscious thereof.
and the fool ignores the wisdom to be gained by following the counsel of God.
so when one does know God exists, and one follows the commands of God, to then not exercise, or judge by, the wisdom that that should produce, well, that is what we can call folly.
so why is saying fool so bad?
who does one call a fool?
the scoffer? no, because his problem is he doesn't believe God exists at all. his problem is he scoffs.
the wicked? no, because his problem is he doesn't follow the counsel of God. his problem is he's wicked.
the fool? yes, but this is where the problem lies in calling someone a fool. who knows God exists AND follows (or claims to) His counsel? the israelite, that's who.
so condemning someone to be a fool, well, one does that only to a fellow israelite, and you had BETTER be sure of your accusation before making it, or the incorrect accusation will turn against you and you will suffer the fate you ordained by placing that person in that box.
you can't say it because it is not you who can see into the heart of that other person. that is the territory of God, and God alone.
this brings jay's quote even harsher into focus.
understanding the above, read like this
when an israelite's folly brings his way to ruin, his heart rages against YHWY.
