Children Not Like the Others

Seeing Beyond the Surface: Autism, Telepathy, and Faith

My wife and I recently watched a thought‑provoking documentary on YouTube titled “Autism, Telepathy, and Faith | Katie Asher.” It tells the story of Katie Asher’s son, Houston, who developed a form of autism that left him nonverbal and with limited motor function. Doctors essentially gave up hope that he would ever function in society. Many who interacted with Houston dismissed him—assuming he couldn’t engage in the same activities as other children.

But then something miraculous happened.

Houston did something that awakened a deep conviction in his mother: there was far more going on inside her son than anyone realized. Determined to reach him, Katie searched for ways to communicate—and what she uncovered was extraordinary. Houston demonstrated profound inner awareness. He could read people’s thoughts, converse with Yeshua (Jesus) and angels, grasp complex scientific concepts, and navigate the spiritual realm in ways few could imagine.

Hidden Genius and the Power of Belief

As I reflected on Houston’s story, I couldn’t help but think of Stephen Hawking. Though bound by a debilitating disease, his intellect was undeniable—and because society recognized his genius, people developed technology to help him communicate. That technology enabled him to lecture, teach, and inspire millions.

It makes me wonder: how many others—like Houston—have been quietly overlooked simply because they can’t express themselves in traditional ways? What gifts might we discover if we applied that same innovation and belief to those the world has written off?

The Heart: More Than a Pump

This story also reminded me of a post I wrote titled “The Heart – It’s Not Just a Pump.” The Bible speaks often about the heart, and science is beginning to confirm what Scripture has long revealed: the heart is an amazing organ that communicates in ways we’re only beginning to understand. Our hearts can resonate with one another—spiritually, emotionally, and even energetically.

Living Water and the Mystery of God

Another post that came to mind is “Living Water – Water of Life – Life‑Giving Water.” There is so much of God’s creation that we have yet to discover. From the mysteries of the human heart to the unseen dimensions of spirit, His wisdom and power extend far beyond what we can comprehend.

Houston’s story reminds us that God’s image is not limited by human perception. His Spirit moves in ways that defy explanation, revealing glimpses of His kingdom through lives that challenge our assumptions. When we look beyond the surface, we begin to see the divine fingerprints everywhere—in the heart, in creation, and even in those the world has overlooked.

Created in God’s Image: Rethinking How We See Women

Rethinking How We See Women in Light of God’s Original Design

From the beginning, Scripture reveals that both man and woman were created in the image of God—equal in worth, purpose, and spiritual capacity. Yet history has often distorted that truth. This reflection explores the creation story, the divine balance between male and female, and how rediscovering God’s design can restore dignity, harmony, and love to human relationships.

Created in God’s Image: Rethinking How We See Women

This may seem like an unusual topic, but it’s been on my heart lately. Women have been mistreated for eons—often reduced to possessions, objects of desire, or laborers expected to serve men’s needs. History is full of examples of exploitation and inequality. Yet I don’t believe Father God ever intended it to be this way.

The Creation Story and God’s Design

In the creation story, God first forms man from the dust of the ground and breathes into his nostrils the breath of life. Adam is placed in the Garden of Eden to tend it and is given the command not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Then comes a pivotal moment:

“It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.” — Genesis 2:18 (ESV)

God brings all the animals to Adam to see what he would name them, but none are suitable as a counterpart. Then God causes Adam to fall into a deep sleep, takes one of his ribs, and fashions the woman—Eve. Adam recognizes her immediately and says:

“This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh.”

This story reveals companionship, complementarity, and shared origin—the foundation for human relationships. It also complements Genesis 1, where male and female are created together in God’s image, showing unity rather than hierarchy.

Male and Female in God’s Image

Genesis 1:26–28 (NIV) declares:

“Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness…” “So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.”

Notice the plural: “Let us make mankind in our image.” I believe this points to Father God and His Son, Yeshua, present together at creation. Yet something intriguing emerges—both are described as male, and still, a female is created in their image. What does that tell us about the fullness of God’s nature?

The Eternal Perspective

Yeshua Himself spoke of a reality beyond earthly distinctions:

“When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.” — Mark 12:25 (NIV)

And Paul echoes this spiritual equality:

“There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” — Galatians 3:28 (NIV)

In the kingdom of God, identity transcends gender, status, and nationality. We are one in Christ—equal in worth, purpose, and love.

Energy, Unity, and Divine Harmony

I was reminded of The Celestine Prophecy, which suggests that people can “steal” energy from one another when they’re not spiritually grounded. Relationships thrive when both individuals draw life from the divine source rather than from each other.

Scripture offers a deeper truth. In Ephesians 5:21–33, unity in marriage is built on mutual love and submission out of reverence for Christ. The husband is called to love his wife “as Christ loved the church”, and the wife is invited to respond with respect and partnership. This is not about control—it’s about covenantal unity, two becoming “one flesh” under God’s design.

In Summary

• The Celestine view: Harmony comes from individual energy alignment.

• The biblical view: Harmony comes from self‑giving love and shared purpose under God’s authority.

Both point toward balance, but Scripture roots that balance in divine relationship rather than self‑protection.

A Call to Honor

Women were never meant to be possessions or subordinates. They were created as image‑bearers of God—equal in dignity, purpose, and spiritual capacity. When we honor that truth, we reflect the Creator’s heart more fully.

Satan temps, Father God does not

I was thinking about something this morning that goes along with my last post 'Test the Spirits'.

Satan temps us to sin and do evil. I was thinking about the 'Lord's prayer ' where it says "lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil" and I wanted a deeper meaning of this so I went into ChatGPT to find out what it had say.  I thought it said it very well so here it is. 

The phrase "Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil" from the Lord's Prayer (Matthew 6:13) is deeply meaningful, and Christians have reflected on it for centuries. Here's a breakdown of its deeper significance:

---

"Lead us not into temptation"

This line can sound confusing at first—why would God lead anyone into temptation? But it’s important to know that in the original Greek, the word for temptation (πειρασμός, peirasmos) can mean both "temptation" and "testing" or "trial."

So this phrase can be understood as:

• A request for protection from trials that might overwhelm us, that is, “Don’t allow us to be tested beyond what we can bear.”
• A humble admission of weakness, acknowledging that we’re vulnerable and could fall if faced with temptation.

It doesn’t suggest that God tempts us (James 1:13 clearly says He doesn’t), but rather that we’re asking God not to allow us to be placed in situations where we might fail.

---

"But deliver us from evil"

This part is a prayer for rescue and protection:

• The word "evil" can also be translated as “the evil one,” referring to Satan, the adversary.
• It’s a plea to be freed from the power of sin, darkness, and spiritual harm.
• It’s also a call for God’s ongoing help to walk in righteousness, not just avoidance of sin, but deliverance into life and light.

---

Together, the phrase is a cry for God's protection:

"Father, don’t let me be overwhelmed by trials or temptations. Keep me safe from the power of sin and evil, and lead me in Your ways."

It reflects a spirit of dependence, humility, and trust, recognizing our need for God’s help in our daily spiritual battle.

Definition of temps:

The phrase "he temps me" means that someone is presented with something or someone attractive or desirable, and they feel a strong inclination to want or do something, even if it goes against their better judgment or goals. 

"To tempt" means to draw or entice someone, often towards something they shouldn't or something unwise or harmful. The desire for this tempting thing or action can be very strong, potentially leading to negative consequences. 

So, if someone says "he temps me," the person is saying that the actions, words, or presence of another person makes them want something or behave in a way they are trying to avoid. For example, someone on a diet might say, "He temps me with that delicious-looking dessert!" meaning that the dessert he offers makes them want to break their diet.

Test The Spirits

Test The Spirits

Jesus frequently warned about false teachers and prophets, cautioning his followers to be discerning. Here are some key scriptures:

Matthew 7:15 – "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves."

Matthew 24:24 – "For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect."

Luke 6:26 – "Woe to you when everyone speaks well of you, for that is how their ancestors treated the false prophets."

2 Peter 2:1 – "They will secretly introduce destructive heresies—even denying the Master who bought them."

1 John 4:1 – "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world."

Recognizing false teachings requires discernment and a strong foundation in biblical truth. Here are some key ways to identify them:

1. Distorted Scripture – False teachers often twist or misinterpret biblical passages to fit their own agenda rather than staying true to the intended meaning.
2. Appeal to Emotion Over Truth – They may prioritize emotional experiences or personal revelations over sound doctrine.
3. Self-Promotion – Instead of pointing people to Christ, false teachers often seek personal fame, wealth, or influence.
4. Contradicting Core Christian Beliefs – They may deny essential doctrines such as the divinity of Christ, salvation through grace, or the authority of Scripture
5. Encouraging Sin or Compromise – Rather than calling people to repentance, they may justify sinful behavior or water down biblical standards.
6. Lack of Accountability – They often resist correction and operate outside of biblical community and oversight.

---------------------------------------------

I've been thinking about something lately. Throughout time Lucifer, AKA Satan, the Devil, has tried to thwart Father God's plans of salvation and bringing all things back into himself; God becoming all in all. 

I have often wondered what happened in heaven. Why did Lucifer and the other angels fall away from Father God? 

Satan has always wanted to be like Father God. He tries to deceive people in ways to turn them away from Father God and to put roadblocks in God's plans. I kind of think there may be two main reasons for him doing it. He wants them to worship him instead of Father God. The second is so he can accuse us to Father God of being no better than himself. Satan is very cunning and often uses scripture to deceive. This is why it is important to not just trust everyone.

------------------------------------------------

Here is an example.

We often drive by a huge church on 59 North of Houston, Texas. It has a huge gold dome on top. We've noticed that the dome has gone through some changes over the last year or so. They redid the gold dome, and it now has a large gold symbol of some kind on top. 

For a long time, we didn't know what it was because we never saw any signs to identify it. My wife and I kept talking about it every time we drove by so my wife recently decided to do some investigating and found out that it is the Iglesia de La Luz del Mundo (Light of the World Church). There are a number of these large churches in more than 50 countries throughout the world. She found a documentary, and we found out that they have a dark history. 

From Wikipedia:

Controversies and criticism

La Luz del Mundo has been the subject of several controversies. Church leaders have been accused of creating a cult of personality, sexually abusing members, and have been criticized for amassing wealth, living a lavish lifestyle, and attempting to build entire cities. In 2022, the church director and self-proclaimed “Apostle of God” Naasón Joaquín García pled guilty to three charges related to sexually abusing children.[144] In December 2022, HBO and RAINN released an original documentary series titled Unveiled: Surviving La Luz Del Mundo, which tells the story of child sexual abuse within the church.[145]

-----------------------------------------------------

In these churches of deception, they use scriptures to manipulate the people so that they can get what they want. I thought about how the Devil tried to tempt Jesus in the wilderness. He used scriptures and he offered him power, riches, control over all the nations. (Luke 4:1-13)

-------------------------------------------------

Some things I have noticed with these churches of deception: Not only in churches but in governments. 

• The leaders are said to be chosen by god.
• This may be true, but I do not think it is by the one true God, Father God, the God of gods, the creator of all things.
• Because they are purported to be chosen by god, and people believe it, it makes it difficult to speak out when people have been wronged. This is the case in La Luz del Mundo church. The girls and boys who have been sexually abused feel helpless to say anything. Their own families won't believe them. Suicides are fairly common. 

----------------------------------------------------------

In contrast, here are God's ways, his character:

Jeremiah 9:24

New American Standard Bible 1995

24 but let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the Lord who exercises lovingkindness, justice and righteousness on earth; for I delight in these things,” declares the Lord.

Christ Jesus, who is One with Father God, gave us examples of this when he was here on earth. All that he did exemplified lovingkindness to people. When Jesus was with his disciples, he demonstrated another example by washing their feet.

 

John 13:12-17

New American Standard Bible 1995

12 So when He had washed their feet, and taken His garments and reclined at the table again, He said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you? 13 You call Me Teacher and Lord; and you are right, for so I am. 14 If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. 15 For I gave you an example that you also should do as I did to you. 16 Truly, truly, I say to you, a slave is not greater than his master, nor is one who is sent greater than the one who sent him. 17 If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them.

----------------------------------------------------

In God's kingdom, all become One in Christ Jesus, who is One with Father God. The Holy Spirit works to bring the people together, exercising lovingkindness to each other. It is like a marriage feast. 

Never forget Yeshua (Jesus). Never forget Father God. Jesus' great sacrifice for us, his love for us, Father God's love for us, is what made this all possible.
