2. Precision Requirements:If your application demands precision and clean cuts, diamond core bits are the better option. Carbide drill bits may suffice for less critical applications where a slightly rougher finish is acceptable.
3. Budget:Factor in your budget. Diamond core bits are more expensive upfront, but their durability and precision may offset the initial cost in the long run. Carbide drill bits are budget-friendly but may require more frequent replacement.
4. Maintenance:Consider the level of maintenance you are willing to commit to. Diamond core bits require more care and maintenance, while carbide drill bits are relatively low-maintenance.
5. Versatility: If you require a drill bit for a wide range of materials, carbide drill bits are the more versatile choice. Diamond core bits are specialized tools for hard materials.

Conclusion

In conclusion, both diamond core bits and carbide drill bits have their distinct advantages and applications. Diamond core bits shine when it comes to hard, precision-critical tasks, while carbide drill bits excel in versatility and affordability. To make an informed choice, evaluate your specific needs, budget, and the materials you’ll be working with. By doing so, you can ensure that you have the right tool for the job, whether you need the precision of a diamond or the reliability of carbide.

Greetings in The Mighty Name of Jesus, The Christ!!!

The Harden Heart

2 Kings 17:14 KJV

"Notwithstanding they would not hear, but hardened their necks, like to the neck of their fathers, that did not believe in the LORD their God."

Many of you and those around you, have Hardened Their Hearts and will no longer Receive The Truth. Too many of you have taken Jesus and The Fathers Word and have Renamed, Diced It Up, Re-Interrupt, Removed, Added to that which is Holy! Many of you Seek, Knock, Ask but it is Not For A Relationship WITH Jesus, but for The Lust Of YOUR Flesh to make YOU FEEL GOOD!! Too many of you have Heard The Truth, Seen The Truth and Even Walked The Truth, but now YOU have Harden Your Hearts, so as a ball bounces off the wall, so does the Truth with you, The Word no longer has meaning, but only to that in which you Chose to Fit YOUR DESIRES and not that of Jesus!!!

James 4:3 KJV

“Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume [it] upon your lusts."

Just as Israel has Hardened Their Necks so not to Turn To The Truth, so have you done and even as our Fore Fathers that changed the Truth into Their Own Accord, so have you done!

Understand this God (Father, Jesus, Holy Spirit) are Holy, Just without variance, are The Same since the Beginning Of Time, will Judge All Men, All Women, All Children, Saved and Lost by The SAME MEASURE, there will be No more Mercy and Grace when we Stand At The Judgment Seat, where Jesus Resides.  There will be No Bargaining, No Begging, No Excuse that Jesus will hear, but a Scale and Sword are in His Hands to Weigh the Just from the Unjust in All Matters, both Great and Small, The Word has the Final Say!

Hebrews 13:8 KJV

“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever."

 Many of you have been given Time and Time Again to Repent, to Turn From YOUR Wicked Ways and have Refused! Too many of you say, “The Lord Know My Heart…”, but yet Jesus says that Our Hearts Are Wicked, so then, Yes, Jesus knows the Wickedness Of YOUR Heart, that it is to Serve Yourselves and Not Jesus who Paid The Price for YOUR SIN, but you give Him No Glory, No Praise, No Honor Worthy Of His Name!!

Jeremiah 17:9 KJV

“The heart [is] deceitful above all [things], and desperately wicked: who can know it?"

Psalm 119:155 KJV

“Salvation [is] far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes."

 You Say, “I am Not Wicked…”, but you are ignorant! For as a Man, Women or Child seek to do Their Own Pleasure aside from Jesus, it is filled with Deceit in Honoring Jesus. To those who are around you may See, Hear that you are Godly, but within you are not! Jesus Rebuked the Pharisees and Scribes for such things…are You better?

Matthew 23:27 KJV

“Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead [men's] bones, and of all uncleanness."

The Father said that David was a Man After His Heart, so then, If The Father said that the Heart is Deceitful, Wicked, so does David See The Father In Wickedness? NO, but With His Heart a Relationship In Righteousness Of The Father. It was David’s Choice to do so, even as it is Your Choice to do the things you do. So then, David sought to Please The Father IN ALL HIS WAYS, which meant David had to Give UP His Ways OF Doing Things, His Ways OF Thinking and Do those things that were Pleasing To The Father.

We, Brothers and Sisters must be like unto David, we Must be a People that Seek, Knock and Ask NOT According to Our Wills but FOR The Will Of Jesus to be Done In Us. Now, many will say “I have Sought The Lord…”, but HAVE YOU? Did you approach Jesus as Lord Over Your Life or just as Savior? Too many of you take Savior and Lord and make them as they were one in the same and they are not! Jesus can be a Savior to you, but Jesus is NOT Lord and yes there are those who Walk After Jesus as though He Is Lord, but Jesus has not become Their Savior.

A Relationship with Jesus, a Godly Relationship WITH Jesus, is that we Die To Self…EVERY DAY…SEEKING Jesus WILL…EVERY DAY…LIVING WITH Jesus AS Savior and Lord OVER OUR LIVES IN ALL THINGS!!! If Scripture Says, if Jesus Says, if The Holy Spirit Says…then why do YOU say different? It is YOU who have taken what Jesus says, what The Scripture says and what The Holy Spirit has said  and turned it into what FEELS GOOD TO YOUR FLESH!!! Jesus WANTS a Relationship with Creation, but if The Creation Rebels Against His Will, then Jesus will cast you, the Creation, aside unto the bitter end and then cast you into The Lake Of Fire! If you think, “Once Saved, Always Saved…”, then, you are ignorant once again!

So then, The Hardening Of The Heart, is someone who Hears The Truth and Ignores The Truth to Walk IN Disobedience To The Truth in which they have heard. This is again to YOUR Ignorance! If Scripture Says, if Jesus Says, if The Holy Spirit Says, then are you better, know better than They who are in Agreement with The Father, whom has set All Things To His Pleasure, His Will?

Isaiah 55:6-9 KJV

"⁶ Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: ⁷ Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. ⁸ For my thoughts [are] not your thoughts, neither [are] your ways my ways, saith the LORD. ⁹ For [as] the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts."

If Scriptures, Jesus, The Holy Spirit, are Not THE Controlling Factors in Your Life, then you who call yourself a Christian, a Blood Bought, are a Liar!!! You have Hardened Your Heart to them to be Acceptable In Your Own Flesh, to Others of Like Mind, making Yourselves Your Own God!!!

2 Timothy 4:3-4 KJV

"³ For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; ⁴ And they shall turn away [their] ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables."

As Jesus has told me a thousand times or more, Jesus cannot say to one set of people to be Obedient in a matter, then turn to another set of people and tell them to do the Opposite, it is Impossible!!! Too many of you Live In A Lie created by other Men, Satan and even Yourselves. Even as our Brother Paul stated, you should be able to Teach Others How To Live A Godly Life, but, you do not Know How To and therefore must Start Over Again From The Beginning.

1 John 5:7 KJV

“For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one."

[Hebrews 5:12-13 KJV]

"¹² For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which [be] the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. ¹³ For every one that useth milk [is] unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe."

 Repent! Repent!! Repent!!! Return to Jesus and His Word, not water down or changed with the deception of men and Satan, and Jesus will Forgive You and Welcome you back into the fold, we have His Promise. But, as always it is Your Choice, you can continue to Harden You Heart against The Truth or Repent and Accept The Truth, either way Jesus will Allow YOU to do so…with a Price!

2 Chronicles 7:13-15 KJV

"¹³ If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; ¹⁴ If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. ¹⁵ Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer [that is made] in this place."

 Ezekiel 36:26 KJV

“A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh."

YOUR CHOICE!!!

Amen and Amen!!!

Abrasive wheel blotters, sometimes referred to as “wheel washers,” are thin, flat, and typically made of paper or fiberglass-reinforced material. They are designed to be placed between an abrasive wheel and the flanges on a grinding or cutting machine. The primary function of abrasive wheel blotters is to absorb excess vibration, distribute clamping pressure evenly, and prevent contact between the abrasive wheel and the flanges. This seemingly simple task holds significant importance for several reasons.

1. Vibration Dampening

One of the key functions of abrasive wheel blotters is to dampen vibrations generated during grinding or cutting operations. These vibrations can have detrimental effects on both the abrasive wheel and the machine. Excessive vibrations can lead to premature wear and tear of the wheel, reduce the quality of the workpiece, and even pose safety risks. Abrasive wheel blotters act as shock absorbers, helping to minimize vibrations and prolonging the life of both the wheel and the equipment.

2. Pressure Distribution

Proper clamping pressure is essential for securing abrasive wheels in place. Inadequate pressure can result in the wheel slipping or becoming loose during operation, leading to accidents and damage. On the other hand, excessive pressure can cause stress on the wheel, leading to cracks or even wheel failure. Abrasive wheel blotters play a critical role in distributing clamping pressure evenly across the wheel’s surface, ensuring a secure and balanced fit.

3. Prevention of Contact

Perhaps the most crucial function of abrasive wheel blotters is to prevent direct contact between the abrasive wheel and the flanges. When a wheel comes into direct contact with the flanges, it can lead to several issues. Firstly, it can cause friction between the wheel and the flanges, generating heat that may weaken the wheel’s structure and integrity. Secondly, it can result in the wheel cracking or shattering, posing significant safety risks to operators and bystanders. The abrasive wheel blotter acts as a protective barrier, reducing the likelihood of wheel-flange contact and its associated dangers.

Types of Abrasive Wheel Blotters

Abrasive wheel blotters come in various types, each designed to meet specific requirements and preferences. The two primary types are paper blotters and fiberglass-reinforced blotters.

• Paper Blotters: These blotters are typically made of high-quality paper that is capable of absorbing moisture and preventing corrosion. They are economical and suitable for many grinding and cutting applications. Paper blotters are available in various thicknesses to accommodate different wheel sizes and machine specifications.
• Fiberglass-Reinforced Blotters: Fiberglass-reinforced blotters are made with layers of fiberglass sandwiched between layers of paper. This design enhances their strength and durability, making them suitable for heavy-duty grinding operations. They are more resistant to tearing and provide added protection againstabrasive wheel breakage.

The Consequences of Neglecting Abrasive Wheel Blotters

Failing to use abrasive wheel blotters or using them incorrectly can have severe consequences. Here are some of the potential risks associated with neglecting abrasive wheel blotters:

1. Safety Hazards:Without blotters to prevent direct contact between the abrasive wheel and flanges, the risk of wheel breakage and fragmentation increases significantly. This can lead to hazardous flying debris, injuries to operators, and damage to the surrounding environment.
2. Reduced Wheel Life: Inadequate vibration dampening and pressure distribution can cause abrasive wheels to wear out faster. This results in more frequent wheel replacements, increased downtime, and higher operational costs.
3. Lower Workpiece Quality: Vibrations and uneven clamping can affect the precision and quality of grinding or cutting operations. Neglecting blotters can lead to subpar workpiece finishes and dimensions.
4. Equipment Damage: Excessive vibrations caused by the absence of blotters can damage the machine’s bearings, spindles, and other critical components. Repairing or replacing such equipment can be costly and time-consuming.

Best Practices for Using Abrasive Wheel Blotters

To ensure the safety and efficiency of abrasive wheel operations, it’s essential to follow best practices when using abrasive wheel blotters:

1. Proper Selection:Choose the appropriate type and thickness of abrasive wheel blotter for your specific application. Refer to the manufacturer’s recommendations and machine specifications.
2. Correct Placement: Always place the blotters between the abrasive wheel and the flanges. Ensure that the blotters cover the entire surface of the wheel.
3. Regular Inspection:Inspect blotters for signs of wear, tear, or contamination before each use. Replace damaged or contaminated blotters immediately.
4. Maintenance: Keep blotters dry and free from moisture to prevent corrosion. Store them in a clean, dry environment.
5. Training:Train operators and maintenance personnel on the importance of abrasive wheel blotters and proper installation techniques.

Conclusion

Abrasive wheel blotters may seem like small, insignificant components in the world of grinding and cutting operations, but their importance cannot be overstated. These unassuming pieces of material play a vital role in maintaining safety, prolonging the life of abrasive wheels, and ensuring the quality of workpiece finishes. Neglecting abrasive wheel blotters can lead to serious consequences, including safety hazards, equipment damage, and reduced workpiece quality. By understanding their functions and adhering to best practices, operators can harness the full potential of abrasive wheels while minimizing risks and maximizing efficiency.

A sharp knife is an essential tool in any kitchen, but over time, the blade can become dull and lose its cutting edge. While there are various methods to sharpen a knife, using a sharpening stone is considered a traditional and effective technique. In this comprehensive guide, we will walk you through the step-by-step process of sharpening a knife with a sharpening stone. By mastering this skill, you can restore your knives to their optimal sharpness and enjoy a safer and more efficient culinary experience.

Understanding Sharpening Stones

Before diving into the sharpening process, it’s important to understand the different types of sharpening stones available. The three most common varieties are oil stones, water stones, and diamond stones. Each type has its own characteristics, such as the grit size and material composition, which affect the sharpening process. Oil stones require lubricating oil to be effective, while water stones need to be soaked in water before use.

Gathering the Necessary Tools

To begin sharpening your knife, gather the following tools:

• Sharpening stone(s): Choose a stone with a grit appropriate for your needs. Coarse gritsharpening stones, such as 200-400, are ideal for repairing damaged edges, while medium grit sharpening stones (800-1200) and fine (2000-3000) grit sharpening stones are suitable for regular maintenance and refining the edge.
• Honing guide (optional): A honing guide helps maintain the angle and consistency of your sharpening strokes, especially if you’re a beginner.
• Lubricant: If you’re using an oil stone, you’ll need a suitable lubricating oil. For water stones, plain water is sufficient.

Preparing the Stone

For water stones, submerge them in water for the recommended time, typically around 10-15 minutes. Oil stones, on the other hand, require a few drops of lubricating oil to be applied evenly across the surface. Make sure the stone is secure on a non-slip surface, such as a damp towel, to prevent any accidents during sharpening.

How to Sharpen a knife with a Sharpening Stone

Follow these steps to sharpen your knife effectively:

1. Determine the sharpening angle:Most kitchen knives have a bevel angle of 15-20 degrees per side. If you’re unsure about the angle, consult the manufacturer’s recommendations or maintain the existing angle.
2. Establish a consistent grip:Hold the knife handle firmly with your dominant hand, keeping your fingers away from the blade. Use your other hand to stabilize the knife on the stone.
3. Starting with the coarse grit: Place the blade against the stone at the chosen angle, with the edge in contact with the stone. Apply gentle pressure and move the blade across the stone in a sweeping motion, maintaining the angle consistently. Start at the base of the blade and work towards the tip, ensuring the entire edge receives equal attention. Repeat this motion 8-10 times on each side of the blade.
4. Checking progress:Periodically examine the edge for burrs, which are tiny metal shavings that form as you sharpen. To check for burrs, lightly run your finger across the blade’s side, perpendicular to the edge. If you feel a rough or raised area, continue sharpening until the burr is eliminated.
5. Transitioning to a higher grit: Once you are satisfied with the edge created by the coarse grit, rinse or wipe the knife clean and repeat the process with the next grit stone. This progression allows you to refine the edge further.
6. Honing the edge: After reaching the desired sharpness with the finer grit stone, you can use a leather strop or a honing rod to further refine the edge and remove any remaining burrs. This step helps achieve a razor-sharp finish.

Conclusion

Sharpening a knife with a sharpening stone is a skill that every aspiring chef or home cook should master.

Table Saw Uses

Table saws are versatile tools that are employed in a variety of woodworking tasks. They excel at making straight cuts in various materials, including wood, plywood, MDF, and even certain types of plastics and metals. From ripping large boards to crosscutting smaller pieces, a table saw can handle a wide range of cutting tasks. Whether you’re crafting furniture, cabinets, or intricate joinery, a table saw can be your go-to tool.

Table Saw Blade Types

Table saw blades come in various types, each designed for specific cutting applications. Here are some of the most common types:

Rip Blades

Rip blades are designed for making long cuts along the grain of the wood. They typically have fewer teeth, often around 24 to 30, with large gullets that help remove material quickly. These blades are ideal for ripping large boards or sheets of material efficiently.

Crosscut Blades

Crosscut blades are engineered for making cuts perpendicular to the wood grain. They have a higher tooth count, usually between 60 to 80 teeth, and feature a more intricate tooth geometry. This design minimizes tear-out and produces clean, splinter-free cuts.

Combination Blades

As the name suggests, combination blades are versatile options that can handle both ripping and crosscutting tasks. They often have around 40 to 50 teeth and strike a balance between the features of rip and crosscut blades. While they may not excel at either task as much as specialized blades, they offer a convenient all-in-one solution for many woodworkers.

Dado Blades

Dado blades are used for creating grooves and dadoes in wood. These blades consist of multiple, closely spaced cutting teeth and chipper blades that can be adjusted to achieve various groove widths. Dado blades are essential for joinery and building strong connections between wood pieces.

Choosing the Best Table Saw Blade

Selecting the right table saw blade for your project requires careful consideration of several factors:

Material Type

The type of material you’re cutting plays a significant role in blade selection. Different materials, such as hardwood, softwood, plywood, or laminate, have varying density and cutting requirements. Choose a blade that’s specifically designed for the material you’re working with.

Cutting Quality

Consider the desired finish of your cuts. If you’re aiming for smooth, splinter-free cuts, a crosscut blade with a high tooth count is essential. On the other hand, if you’re focusing on efficient material removal, a rip blade with fewer teeth will suit your needs.

Blade Size

Blade size refers to the diameter of the blade. Most table saws accommodate 10-inch saw blades, but some larger saws can handle 12-inch blades. Ensure that the blade size is compatible with your table saw’s arbor size and the saw’s capacity.

Tooth Count

The tooth count of a blade determines its cutting performance. More teeth generally result in smoother cuts, while fewer teeth are better for faster material removal. Consider the tooth count based on your cutting requirements.

Tooth Geometry

The shape and angle of the teeth influence the cutting action. Alternate top bevel (ATB) teeth are great for crosscuts, while flat-top grind (FTG) teeth are suitable for ripping. Combination blades often have a combination of tooth geometries.

Saw Blade Sets and Packs

Many manufacturers offer blade sets or packs that include multiple blades designed for various tasks. These sets can provide excellent value and convenience, as they offer a range of blades for different cutting requirements. A typical set might include a rip blade, a crosscut blade, and possibly a combination blade or a dado set. Investing in a blade set can save you money and ensure that you’re prepared for different woodworking tasks.

1. KeepSaw Blades Sharp: Dull blades can lead to burning, rough cuts, and increased strain on your saw’s motor. Regularly sharpen your blades or replace them when necessary.
2. Proper Blade Height: Adjust the blade height to slightly higher than the thickness of the material you’re cutting. This reduces the risk of tear-out and provides cleaner cuts.
3. Feed Rate:Maintain a consistent feed rate while cutting. Pushing too fast can lead to burn marks, while pushing too slow can cause kickback.
4. Use Proper Technique: Always use proper cutting techniques, such as using push sticks and maintaining a safe distance from the blade. Safety should be a top priority.
5. Chip and Dust Removal: Keep the blade area clean from chips and debris. Clogged teeth can lead to overheating and poor cutting performance.

Full Kerf Blades vs. Thin Kerf Blades

Another important consideration is the kerf width, which is the width of the cut made by the blade. Table saw blades come in full kerf and thin kerf options:

Full Kerf Blades

Full kerf blades have a wider kerf width and are typically more stable and durable. They are ideal for heavy-duty tasks and are less prone to deflection, making them suitable for larger cuts and hardwoods.

Thin Kerf Blades

Thin kerf blades have a narrower kerf width, resulting in less material waste and reduced power requirements. They are excellent for cutting softwoods and materials where precision is crucial. However, they may not handle heavy-duty tasks as well as full kerf blades.

Choosing High-Quality Table Saw Blades

Investing in high-quality table saw blades is essential for achieving precise and clean cuts. Here are some indicators of a top-notch blade:

1. Material: Look for blades made from high-quality materials, such as carbide-tipped teeth. Carbide is durable and maintains its sharpness longer than traditional steel.

Greetings in The Mighty Name of Jesus, The Christ!!!

A Rebuke

Hebrews 13:8 KJV

“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever."

Ephesians 4:4-6 KJV

"⁴ [There is] one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; ⁵ One Lord, one faith, one baptism, ⁶ One God and Father of all, who [is] above all, and through all, and in you all."

Luke 11:17 KJV

"But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house [divided] against a house falleth."

Matthew 12:24, 26 KJV

"²⁴ But when the Pharisees heard [it], they said, This [fellow] doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils. ... ²⁶ And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?"

The First Rebuke…too many of you have been lead astray believing every Doctrine In The Wind, yet, there is only One Doctrine that we should be Living By. Too many of you want a Gospel, a Word, a Bible, a Leader that Comforts Your Flesh and not The Soul to be in Agreement with The Spirit. It is IMPOSSIBILE, again, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE for the Godhead (The Father, The Son, The Holy Spirit), to be Divided. There is Order in The Godhead, but even in the Order Of Hierarchy, they are ONE, meaning this. The Father Created All Things for His Pleasure, His Glory, His Purpose and The Son (Jesus), Was Present and The Holy Spirit did the Work Of The Father’s Command.

There is Only ONE Jesus that can Wash Away Sin, but yet in The World there are many Jesus, False Saviors whom all claim is given to them, that they are The One True Son Of God.

John 8:28 KJV

“Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am [he], and [that] I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things."

John 10:30 KJV

“I and [my] Father are one."

John 1:1 KJV

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."

Too many people Argue, Fight dishonoring one another, in what they believe, what THEY have been Taught over this one thing…being able to Understand that the Godhead is made up of The Father, Jesus, The Holy Spirit, but they are NOT, NOT ONE ENTITY, the Three are Separated, but yet are ONE. Scriptures proves this, but only a few truly Understand it and Believe it. This has caused a Great Division within The Body Of Christ, The Church.

If you Believe that they are Truly One Entity, then take our YOUR Magic Eraser and in Your Bible Erase the following Scriptures, because they are a Lie according to YOUR BELIEFS…this is YOUR Heresy …

Matthew 3:16-17 KJV

"¹⁶ And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: ¹⁷ And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."

Luke 22:42 KJV

“Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done."

John 14:26 KJV

“But the Comforter, [which is] the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you."

John 16:13 KJV

“Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, [that] shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come."

Do we not call people who Talk To Themselves, Crazy, Mentally Ill? Then, if there is Not Three in Heaven, The Father, Jesus and The Holy Spirit, then The Voice from Heaven that said this is MY BELOVED SON, was Jesus speaking to Himself and the Sprit Of God, that is, The Holy Spirit, The Comforter that descended from Heaven, Jesus Must Have Divided Himself and sent His Own Spirit to come upon Him?

So then, how can we say They Are One? There are Angels, Seraphim, Cherubim, Creatures and other beings in Heaven that are in One Accord, they are One, but yet they are Separated. If I and another Brother or Sister say the same thing, Believe the same thing, are we Not One? When an army goes to war to fight an enemy, are they Not One? According to Scripture when a Man and Woman get married are they Not Supposed to be One?

Rebuke number two… Sorry Brothers and Sisters you cannot be a Republican or a Democrat or any other Political Party and say the following…”God lead me to vote this way…”, “Jesus told me to vote this way…”, this would make Jesus and The Godhead a Lunatics, filled with Heresy! Our Stand should be not to be Aligned with any Political Party, but with only those who Adhere to the Bible in there Stand.

2 Timothy 3:16 KJV

“All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:"

Ephesians 4:4-6 KJV

"⁴ [There is] one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; ⁵ One Lord, one faith, one baptism, ⁶ One God and Father of all, who [is] above all, and through all, and in you all."

So then here is one of the Great Divides… a Brother or Sister cannot say they Believe in Abortion when Scripture tells us it is wrong, that it is murder… a Brother or Sister cannot say they Believe in allowing Homosexuals as a Blood Bought if they are for Homosexuals when Scriptures tells us that this is an Abomination to The Godhead…a Brother or Sister cannot agree in that, Same Sex Marriages are okay, again, it is an Abomination to The Godhead…a Brother or Sister cannot say that a Husband and Wife are Equal, that they are Equal Partners in Marriage when Scriptures tells us that the Man is the Head over the Wife making them Not Equal…a Brother or Sister cannot Believe that The Godhead is Only a Godhead Of Love, when Scriptures tells us that They have killed hundreds of people, that They will cast those who are Not The Blood Bought into the Lake Of Fire for eternity, that it matters not how good they are or what they have done in this World that seems Just and Right to the flesh.

Too many of you Follow Blindly those whom You Think are in Authority, who are Leaders, that are Not Called or Chosen by Jesus to do so… who have brought False Teachings, False Doctrine for you to Base YOUR LIFE ON all because YOU did not take the Time or Effort to Search The Scriptures rather they are True or a Lie!

The third Rebuke… a Brother or Sister cannot rise up against the Government, unless it takes away Our Lively Hood, meaning only in the following since… The Word Of God, The Holy Spirit’s Movements and Teachings, Prayer, Singing Spiritual Songs, Gathering together in One Accord. Too many of you have a mindset that we have a Right To Stand Up against ANYTHING that does not Please Us, this is Not from Jesus, nor The Holy Spirit, but is of The Flesh and Satan. This includes those who Refuse to get a Vaccination because They Believe that the Government is trying to either Control Us or Kill Us or that it is the Mark Of The Beast, these are nothing but Lies that Satan wants us to believe to bring more discord in God’s House! Now, with that being said, this does not mean that we cannot Stand and Fight for what is Right, but let it be Right according to The Scripture’s, Jesus and The Holy Spirit!!!

If a Man is digging a ditch making $20 dollars an hour and this ditch is 2’X2’X8’ and it takes him 3 Hours to dig it and if a woman does the exact same thing in the exact same time frame then they should be paid Equal. But, in the same scenario, if the Woman does not dig the ditch exactly the same, then, there should not be equal pay. Yes I know that there can be many different factors in this scenario but, it must come out as Equal. Equality of Men and Women ONLY comes within the Work Force and there is much that can be said dealing with this one subject matter that I will not get into in this message.

Yes, I have left out many Scriptures to prove all that I have written and I did it on purpose. All that I have written can be Proven In Scripture, but now it is Your Turn to find those answers.

If We who say that WE are Born Again, a Christian, a Blood Bought, then WE MUST AGREE WITH THE GODHEAD, which means that WE MUST AGREE IN SCRIPTURE and WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT in order for the following Scripture to be True…

John 17:21 KJV

“That they all may be one; as thou, Father, [art] in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me."

Jesus, whom is Our Savior, Lord, Judge and King demands this of us, it is Not A Choice. We are to Agree on Everything dealing with Living A Godly Life, there is No Separation on how one person may Live to another, we are All Equal in that sense. As Paul wrote, there are many members with different callings, but, we are to be One Body, with One Belief, One Way To Live so that the World may know that Jesus is Savior and Lord and that they may know because of Our Love for one another, that is, Brother and Sister In Christ.

There are many more Rebukes that could take place, but The Lord only wanted these at this time. I leave you with these final Scriptures…

Psalm 26:2 KJV

“Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart."

2 Corinthians 13:5 KJV

“Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?"

REPENT!!!

Amen and Amen!!!

Step 3: Ensure Proper Lubrication

Before you begin sanding, ensure that the surface is properly lubricated. Proper lubrication reduces friction, preventing further scratching.

Step 4: Employ Correct Sanding Technique

Adopt a controlled and consistent sanding technique. Apply even pressure and maintain a steady back-and-forth or circular motion. Avoid using excessive force or making erratic movements.

Step 5: Gradual Progression

Begin sanding with the selected finer grit and work your way through even finer grits. This gradual progression refines the surface and removes the pigtails without introducing new imperfections.

Step 6: Regular Inspection and Adjustment

Frequently inspect the sanded area under appropriate lighting to track your progress. If pigtails persist, repeat the process with finer grits until the scratches are effectively removed.

Step 7: Final Polishing

After successfully eliminating the pigtails, proceed to the polishing stage. Use a fine polishing compound and a soft pad to restore the glossy appearance of the surface.

Preventing Pigtails: Best Practices

Preventing pigtails is undoubtedly the preferred approach. Incorporating these preventive measures into your sanding process can significantly reduce the likelihood of encountering pigtails in your future projects:

Greetings in The Mighty Name of Jesus, The Christ!!!

Popular Unpopular The Question

Matthew 14:21 KJV

“And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children."

Brothers and Sisters Jesus Our Savior and Lord was both Popular and Unpopular in the World around Him. Do you know the Reason of both that Co-Existed? Are you the SAME!

Whom was Jesus sent to at the beginning, was it the Romains, Grecians, The Gentiles…No, but Jesus was sent to His People First and only His People.

Matthew 15:22-28 KJV

"²² And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, [thou] Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. ²³ But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us. ²⁴ But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. ²⁵ Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. 26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast [it] to dogs. ²⁷ And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table. ²⁸ Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great [is] thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour."

There were many that sought out Jesus, basically three groups of people. There were the Religious People…

Matthew 3:7 KJV

“But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?"

Matthew 16:6 KJV

“Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees."

Matthew 16:6 KJV

“Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees."

Matthew 23:15 KJV

“Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves."

Scribes Definition: a clerk, scribe, esp.a public servant, secretary, recorder, whose office and influence differed in different states; in the Bible, a man learned in the Mosaic law and in the sacred writings, an interpreter, teacher. Scribes examined the more difficult and subtle questions of the law; added to the Mosaic law decisions of various kinds thought to elucidate its meaning and scope, and did this to the detriment of religion. Since the advice of men skilled in the law was needed in the examination in the causes and the solution of the difficult questions, they were enrolled in the Sanhedrin; and are mentioned in connection with the priests and elders of the people. See a Bible Dictionary for more information on the scribes.; a religious teacher: so instructed that from his learning and ability to teach advantage may redound to the kingdom of heaven.

Pharisees Definition: A sect that seems to have started after the Jewish exile. In addition to OT books the Pharisees recognised in oral tradition a standard of belief and life. They sought for distinction and praise by outward observance of external rites and by outward forms of piety, and such as ceremonial washings, fastings, prayers, and alms giving; and, comparatively negligent of genuine piety, they prided themselves on their fancied good works. They held strenuously to a belief in the existence of good and evil angels, and to the expectation of a Messiah; and they cherished the hope that the dead, after a preliminary experience either of reward or of penalty in Hades, would be recalled to life by him, and be requited each according to his individual deeds. In opposition to the usurped dominion of the Herods and the rule of the Romans, they stoutly upheld the theocracy and their country's cause, and possessed great influence with the common people. According to Josephus they numbered more than 6000. They were bitter enemies of Jesus and his cause; and were in turn severely rebuked by him for their avarice, ambition, hollow reliance on outward works, and affection of piety in order to gain popularity.

Sadducees Definition: = "the righteous"; a religious party at the time of Christ among the Jews, who denied that the oral law was a revelation of God to the Israelites, and who deemed the written law alone to be obligatory on the nation, as the divine authority. They denied the following doctrines: resurrection of the body, immortality of the soul, existence of spirits and angels, divine predestination, affirmed free will.

Elder Definition: elder, of age, the elder of two people, advanced in life, an elder, a senior forefathers, a term of rank or office, among the Jews members of the great council or Sanhedrin (because in early times the rulers of the people, judges, etc., were selected from elderly men) of those who in separate cities managed public affairs and administered justice among the Christians, those who presided over the assemblies (or churches) The NT uses the term bishop, elders, and presbyters interchangeably the twenty four members of the heavenly Sanhedrin or court seated on thrones around the throne of God

These were the Religious Leaders at the time that Jesus went Public as The Son Of The Father. Today we have even many, many more who fit into the category of “Religious Leaders”, they call themselves (these first five I will define more after the list), Pastors, Evangelist, Prophets, Apostles, Teachers, Bishops, Priest, Clergy, Minister and the list goes on. The first five in this list are NOT in the same Offices that Jesus set, that is, Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor and Teacher, they are to themselves called of themselves or man and Satan. The Five Fold that Jesus set, is that He Set Them, Anointed Them for the Office in which they will Walk the rest of their lives, Man nor Satan chose them!

In today’s society anyone can be any of these “Religious Leaders” just by going to a College or go to the Internet to be Ordained as such that they desire.

Matthew 7:15 KJV

“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves."

Matthew 24:24 KJV

“For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if [it were] possible, they shall deceive the very elect."

2 Corinthians 11:13 KJV

“For such [are] false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ."

2 Timothy 4:3 KJV

“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;"

 These “Religious Leaders” found that Jesus was Popular In Those Who Sought God, but Unpopular to those who Sought Fleshly Dominance! Do not get these mixed up with those who are Truly Called into one of the Five Offices.

The World found that Jesus was Unpopular, finding themselves threatened at His Coming and very Existence!

Matthew 2:1-4 KJV

"¹ Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, ² Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. ³ When Herod the king had heard [these things], he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. ⁴ And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born."

Matthew 2:13, 16 KJV

"¹³ And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him. ... ¹⁶ Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men."

At this time, the World where Jesus was, the Romans Ruled with all Authority. No one had better rise against their King, it was Death to anyone who did.

In today’s World, the World Hates those who would rise up against their King, that is, their Flesh and even Satan. The time is coming soon when we, who are Truly Blood Bought, will give our Lives because of what Jesus has done in us. In today’s World many Denominations rule their followers by Ungodly Rules, Ordnances and Laws that go against Jesus and His Holy Spirit. Many allow Homosexuals, Woman Ministers, Tolerance Of Sin, Same Sex Marriages and the list goes on. It is in these things that we must fight against, even unto death!

So then, I will use myself as an example of Popular and Unpopular in the World that we now live in. To those who are Truly The Blood Bought, Seeking The Will Of Jesus in Their Lives, Following The Word as layout for our Direction and Guidance unto a Relationship With Jesus, I am Popular with few. But to the Denominations of the World I am Their Enemy, because I speak against such heiress as they use for doctrine that is against Jesus and His Word and Holy Spirit.

I am Called and Set by Jesus as an Apostle, not by the Laying Of Hands of Man, not like the First Apostles who Set The Foundation, but to ensure that the Foundation is Followed as Jesus has set. I have been set as a Watchmen upon a Wall that Jesus Built and not that of Man or Satan, for this, I am Hated by both The World and Within The church (Denominations).

Jesus said that if, IF, we Follow Him, Be Like Him, Build A Relationship With Him, then we will be Hated by others just as they Hate Jesus for Following The Fathers Will and Commandments.

Luke 22:42 KJV

“Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done."

Matthew 10:22 KJV

“And ye shall be hated of all [men] for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved."

John 15:18 KJV

“If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before [it hated] you."

So now, the Popularity Question to you… If those who Do Not Follow The Word, Do Not Follow The Holy Spirit like you, then you have a Big Problem. If those who are of The World like you, then you have even a Bigger Problem. When Jesus Called me, He told me that I would be Hated, not only by the World but by those who call themselves a Christine, by the Church. He said that the Path that I Walk would be one of the Hardest to ever Walk, Jesus Prepared Me for what lay ahead in my Life!

I Encourage those who Stand Upon The Word and In The Holy Spirit and will NOT BE MOVED, for Our Days are numbered, the Enemy Of God seeks to Kill us, so that his plans will unfold as the Last Curtain Call is coming!!! Be of Good Cheer knowing that you do not suffer allow, but there are others who Stand Along Side you in the Fight!!!

Philippians 1:29 KJV

“For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;"

2 Timothy 3:12 KJV

“Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution."

1 Peter 5:8-10 KJV

"⁸ Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: ⁹ Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. ¹⁰ But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle [you]."

Amen and Amen!!!
