Thank you for hope, Liza Minnelli!

Matthew 16:13 When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi he put this question to his disciples, `Who do people say the Son of Man is?’ 14 And they said, `Some say he is John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets’. 15 `But you,’ he said `who do you say I am?’ 16 Then Simon Peter spoke up, `You are the Christ,’ he said `the Son of the living God’. 17 Jesus replied, `Simon son of Jonah, you are a happy man! Because it was not flesh and blood that revealed this to you but my Father in heaven. 18 So I now say to you: You are Peter and on this rock I will build my Church…

Acts 5:1 There was another man, however, called Ananias. He and his wife, Sapphira, agreed to sell a property; 2 but with his wife’s connivance he kept back part of the proceeds, and brought the rest and presented it to the apostles. 3 `Ananias,’ Peter said `how can Satan have so possessed you that you should lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the money from the land? 4 While you still owned the land, wasn’t it yours to keep, and after you had sold it wasn’t the money yours to do with as you liked? What put this scheme into your mind? It is not to men that you have lied, but to God.’ 5 When he heard this Ananias fell down dead. This made a profound impression on everyone present. 6 The younger men got up, wrapped the body in a sheet, carried it out and buried it. 7 About three hours later his wife came in, not knowing what had taken place. 8 Peter challenged her, `Tell me, was this the price you sold the land for?’ `Yes,’ she said `that was the price.’ 9 Peter then said, `So you and your husband have agreed to put the Spirit of the Lord to the TEST! What made you do it? You hear those footsteps? They have just been to bury your husband; they will carry you out, too.’ 10 Instantly she dropped dead at his feet. When the young men came in they found she was dead, and they carried her out and buried her by the side of her husband. 11 This made a profound impression on the whole Church and on all who heard it.

…And the Gates of the underworld can never hold out against it. 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven: whatever you bind on earth shall be considered bound in heaven; whatever you loose on earth shall be considered loosed in heaven.’ 20 Then he gave the disciples strict orders not to tell anyone that he was the Christ.

Matthew 16:21-23

Jesus, you know what is in my heart. Peter has closed the gates of heaven to me and left me at Steve’s mercy: Steve the abuser, Steve the son, Steve the fornicator, Steve the wolf, Steve the company man. Jesus, you know the world I have been forced to live in, the prideful stupidity I have submitted to for your sake. You have shown me a great star in Liza Minnelli! Let my submission be like hers, let me follow Paul’s path to a creation filled with your presence! I am a man, a product of the will of Great men. LET MAN IGNITE WHAT I HAVE PRAYED FOR!

During an Easter celebration in 2013 a Priest drenched me in holy water. After all this time my statement above may not apply.
I am still a sinner Liza Minnelli and you have righteously left me to Steve. But today, the methods used by an abuser are obvious. Nothing is free.

Luke 19:35 So they took the colt to Jesus, and throwing their garments over its back they helped Jesus on to it. 36 As He moved off, people spread their cloaks in the road, 37 and now, as He was approaching the downward slope of the Mount of Olives, the whole group of disciples joyfully began to praise God at the top of their voices for all the miracles they had seen. 38 They cried out: ‘Blessings on the King who comes, in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest heavens!’ 39 Some Pharisees in the crowd said to him, ‘Master, check your disciples’, 40 but He answered, ‘I tell you, if these keep silence the stones will cry out’.

Psalm 1:4 It is nothing like this with the wicked, nothing like this! No, these are like chaff blown away by the wind. 5 The wicked will not stand firm when Judgement
