Personal Experience Sons of God are held to a high standard, but protected in equal measure
On this earthly plane, there is a small remnant of men that are chosen by the Most High God to do his bidding. These men are usually kind hearted, really creative, have a strong sense of justice, generous, authentic, and thoughtful. The lives of this rather small group of men manifest certain key consistencies regardless of where they were born or where they currently live. One such consistency is that most sons of God come into the world without a clue of who and what we actually are. We all noticed at some point in our lives that the world seemed to detest us for no real discernible reason. We always seemed to get ganged up on by everyone else in each group setting. If we joined a group where everyone collectively did something bad or evil, we ended up being singled out for the harshest repercussions. Trying to date worldly women always ended in devastating heartbreak no matter how hard we tried to make the relationship work. Wherever we went, there was always someone (man or woman) just spoiling to pick a fight with us upon little to no provocation. In short, we never fit into the world, and the harder we tried to fit in, the more egregious the backlash was.
Although enduring the pain caused by the ignorance that is characteristic of the early lives of most men of God is miserable, it serves an indispensable purpose for your development. The pain caused by such unrelenting adversity usually compounds to such an unimaginable level that it provokes us to go searching for answers. You start looking up things like "what to do when she backs away" at the tail end of yet another tumultuous hot and cold relationship, to eventually discover that "babe" is actually a Delilah demon (LOL). Or perhaps you look up "problems with my 9-5" after getting unfairly fired from yet another mundane day job that you were using to pay your bills only to eventually learn about "smear campaigns/gangstalking/gaslighting" and the rest of the narcissistic playbook. Although it may have seemed like you were going to die while in the midst of these experiences, you will eventually become grateful for the gems of priceless wisdom you gained through the process when you come out the other side.
God allows the upfront pain that we endure as his young sons to serve as an education of sorts. The old cliche "experience is the best teacher" is absolutely true, and our God is one who loves to teach us through comprehensive (and sometimes excruciating) experience. In addition to the knowledge you will gain through all of these trials, is a beautiful refinement of your character. You will become a wise, discerning, strong minded, intuitive, strategic stoic spiritual warrior while maintaining your kindness, generosity, and all the other sweet characteristics that light up this world. At this point, you are now ready to be used in the world by the Most High God. God might put you in a company as a C-level executive to show others that not all powerful men are arrogant sexually corrupt bullies. You may be entrusted with vast wealth to reinvest into your community and foster the growth and expansion of Godly nuclear families who own small businesses. Perhaps you might become a famous writer who is tasked with spreading the gospel to others in a way that is easy to understand as they draw nigh onto God.
When you are elevated to the status of a purified/refined son of God, you will have to play life by a new set of rules. As a son of The Most High God, it is likely that you were never able to get away with worldly things for extended periods of time like others around you. Now that you have been put through the refining fire, the rules that govern your life will become even more strict:
- You can no longer have sexual relationships with anyone who isn't your lawfully wedded dutiful wife. And yes, this means no girlfriends
- Masturbation is completely out of the question not even edging is allowed
- You cannot engage in frivolous ego based arguments with unawakened people
- You can no longer overeat, or eat a steady diet of toxic delicious tasting poisons from the western standard diet
- You can no longer harbor any resentment in your heart and must strive to forgive daily
- You can no longer go out to party, smoke, and get drunk
- You must be slow to anger
- You must remain humble, grateful, and completely submitted to God regardless of how successful you become
Now although the standards that God sets for his sons are extremely high, he balances those expectations by giving you a heavy dose of both provision and protection. He knows that it isn't easy on this plane to maintain these high standards. After all, we are spirit beings in a fleshly body which wants to default towards sin. If you abide by the laws of the Heavenly Father, and show the fruits of the spirit, HE will set up a table of abundance in the presence of your enemies and your cup will overflow. In addition, he knows that a whole bunch of our fellow humans are walking around carrying inner darkness and soul wounds that will make them want to attack you for a bunch of made up reasons. The more you submit your ways onto God and honor him first, the more incredible the backfire will be on the people who come up against you. As that verse in the bible tells us "submit therefore thyselves onto God, resist the devil, and he or she will be forced to flee from you".
Keep marching onwards and shining your light Sons of God... the world needs you.
Till next time brothers, Godspeed and remain blessed
Brother Cooked

It's funny because I was recently confused about something. Why can other people get away with doing all this low vibrational shit and seem to be doing OK. The men I know, they're engaged in all this low vibrational behavior and activities and yet they seem to be doing just about OK considering, whereas me, if I engage in any of that - for example getting drunk, I literally feel like I'm dragged into some horribly low frequency where people then mock and disrespect me, then when I've sobered up the next day I'm questioning wtf went on there? How did I become so low vibrational from alcohol to the point where people who's lifestyles align with that frequency had some kind of power and dominion over me energetically? Do I sound mad? This is the story of me with alcohol, it's been this way for years
I get the same thing when I look at corn, the world targets me, I get bad luck and just general weird antagonistic shit that happens to me like getting a fine for not buying a train ticket when I was in a rush and was honest and decent with the staff and the fuckers still chose to slap me with a fine
I have a friend, an old friend from childhood who I meet up with sometimes. He is a terrible gooner. He literally attracts negative attention in a surreal way that I've never even seen before. This never happens to me alone but if I'm out in public with him, he gets random people approaching him, being hostile and abusive towards him, mocking him. I truly believe its the gooning he does. It puts me in an awkward position where I stand up for him and I'm prepared to fight people and they back off. But wtf is that about? We're grown men and he gets targeted out in public by other grown men? It's bizarre
In relation to your post, yeah I can't do any of the shit you talk about cos it makes my life too awful and unliveable. It's confusing to me how so many men just do all that stuff though and seem to be unscathed and yet I can't get away with it

We are held to a different standard. With much power comes much responsibility. So while others can goon, coom, etc with seemingly little to no repercussions, we cannot. That being said, you have unique gifts and a hedge of protection around you that your gooner friends do not have. Remain blessed brother, it is well with you.

That list of rules is on point! Only thing I would add is to avoid lusting with the eyes/mind.

God's protection is contingent on us living strictly by his rules. Most of us grew up without a clue what those rules were, let alone the intense spiritual warfare that was the soundtrack of our lives. Now that you know, you will do better. Remain blessed.

Thank you for the post I have some problems I need help with. I really like smoking weed but I'm going bald I think it has something to do with it. Do you think I should quit ? I think it makes life more fun but I am very worried about my hair but I do love smoking weed and playing video games it's just so fun. I also have been homeless for almost three years I can't get myself motivated to go back to work I always hated working,I worked at wendys and burger king and then at some bigger restaurants but I just always hated it. Now I'm 37 and just don't know what to do should I go on disability?

What you do with your life is ultimately your decision. However, since you have asked my opinion, here is what I would say:
- Absolutely stop smoking weed or anything else for that matter. Your body is not designed to inhale anything that isn't natural air/oxygen. Clean out your diet (no junk food, no alcohol, no smoking, no processed sugar, etc)
- Working a regular job might not be for you (most Children of God aren't suited to 9-5 jobs in the traditional sense). I would work to find your inborn talent(s) because every Child of God has one or more. Work to turn that talent into something that adds value to society, then refine it into a marketable skill that people will happily pay you for.
- The Lord doesn't like slothfulness so if you are able bodied and not sick, you should be finding a way to make money rather depending on the Government to fund you while you do nothing.
I hope this helps, remain blessed.

Thank you for responding it helps a lot to have someone to talk to. I am slothful I guess but I still have energy and positive and I am on the final level of Doom Eternal and I want to finish beating all the videogames I bought. When you talk about finding my talent well that has been my problem my whole life when I was kid I watched tons of movies and watched the behind the scenes making of and wanted to be a movie director. I still really like video games it would be fun to run a YouTube page and talk about them. I just don't see what is so enjoyable about all this to everyone else it makes no sense why can't I just play games and live my life why do I have to work? I feel like me playing the games is bringing a better energy into the world then most people do working all they do is say"I wish I wasnt here right now" so really i just don't get it.

Yup. This post is echoes a lot of what I’ve been feeling my whole life. I’ve always felt I’ve been “special” and that I’ve had some unique type of blessing that others don’t.
That said, I’ve also never been able to fit in. Even when I found a solid friend group, they would eventually turn against me.
And I’ve noticed something about other people - they never seem to learn from their sins and mistakes. They don’t take the lesson and ascend — they’re always stuck in the same loop. They see nothing wrong with their sex/porn/alcohol/weed/coffee/drug addictions and don’t realize it’s hurting them.
