“Resurrection of MY Savior, Lord, King, and God Almighty’s Son”

By Tonja Condray Klein©04/04/2021

I don’t just celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ after He died on Calvary for this world’s sin, spent time in Hell to take the keys of death, Hell, and the grave from Satan, or that He came back to life so humanity would be able to be restored through Faith in His sacrifice for every believer. I celebrate the Resurrection of MY Savior Jesus Christ the Son of the Living God Almighty because HE did all of this for ME! He split time and changed our world from B.C. to A.D with His Sacrifice and return to life to reclaim a fallen world and fallen humanity that were bound for Hell.

My Faith is PERSONAL. While I believe in the Christian Bible, both Old and New Testaments, I also have felt the Holy Spirit touch my heart, mind, soul, and body over the past 40 years. It’s PERSONAL. I don’t follow a set of rules or regulations to be SAVED. I accepted Jesus Christ as MY PERSONAL SAVIOR when I was 8 years old. That restored me to have a relationship with God Almighty through His Son. That was enough to keep me from losing my soul to the price of the power of the air, otherwise known as Satan who was once Lucifer, the angel who led worship in Heaven.

It was enough to regain my place to go to Heaven, but then the Holy Spirit touched me in church service in a way that only those who know Him and His gifts can explain. The service suddenly became completely quiet, and I called out to the pastor and asked to receive the Gift of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of Speaking in Other Tongues. He smiled and said, ‘Come on down!” to the altar to pray for the infilling. The pastor prayed with and for me, and when he simply touched my forehead, the feeling of absolute love and acceptance filled my entire being and overwhelmed all else.

I have allowed the Holy Spirit to give Messages in Tongues and Interpretations in Tongues through me in church services whenever the Lord ordained it to be. These are facts. No one programmed me, trained me, or brainwashed me to believe any of this. I’ve studied proven history, I pray in English and the Holy Spirit, and I know the Presence of the Holy Spirit like I know my own existence. You can be SAVED by accepting Jesus Christ as your Savior, and you don’t have to seek the Gifts of the Holy Spirit, BUT those Gifts were given so we can know that we know that we know.

If Jesus Christ hadn’t been born of His mother Mary through the Holy Spirit placing the cell of God Almighty in her to make Jesus be born without sin then NONE of us could be saved. If Jesus hadn’t given His life to die on the Cross, die in the flesh, visit Hell to claim what Satan had taken by sin, and then come alive again in a glorified body then NONE of us could be SAVED either. BUT IT HAPPENED! That glorious RESURRECTION MORNING changed the course of humanity once again. The Holy Spirit was sent to help believers to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

We each have a choice. We can believe the lies of this fallen world and people who refuse to believe in even a Creator OR we can accept Jesus Christ as Savior, Lord, King, and God Almighty incarnate as the Son (in the flesh). It might seem like one of the superhero or Japanese Anime stories that always have the one character who saves the world. That’s because even those who refuse Jesus Christ all know somewhere inside that they need a Savior. We are ALL in need of THE ONE TRUE SAVIOR. ALL of the fictional stories are based on the need we feel but keep refusing.

You KNOW you NEED a Savior. You KNOW you NEED Restored to the Creator. You might follow other gods or deities that are false and will only lead to destruction. Jesus Christ is as real as I am. I could have died so many times in my life without His Touch, His Grace, His Mercy, His Holy Spirit, and His Promise for an Eternity with Him IF I keep on believing in spite of the craziness of this world that is trying to change history and everything I know for sure happened or is real right now. NO ONE can make me change my mind, heart, or soul. I BELONG TO JESUS CHRIST FOREVER.

Jesus Christ gave His life for ME. He knew I’d fail Him often. He knew when I would fall short. He knew when I would need His blood to fall on my name every single time I sinned even after I became His. He KNEW. He STILL did it. He also knows about you and how you will never be perfect because NONE of us can be. HE IS because HE IS “I AM”! Jesus was born on Earth, but He was also in the beginning when this world was created and that aspect of God Almighty KNEW when humanity was created that HE would have to be born as Jesus Christ, die, and resurrect for ALL OF US.

Each one simply needs to believe He did it for them and then try to become the restored one for Him. Not to be an automaton, a clone, or a mindless puppet. This is PERSONAL. He will have His Holy Spirit rebirth your spirit that was dead when you were born due to sin in your blood, but Faith reclaims you. THAT is Salvation. The Holy Spirit came to bring more abilities to use as you preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ as His believers and joint-heirs to God Almighty as He promised with HisWord who became flesh and dwelt among us to die and then live again FOR US to KNOW HIM!

“He lives! He lives! Christ Jesus lives today! He walks with me and talks with me along life’s narrow way! He lives! He lives! Salvation to impart! You ask me how I KNOW HE LIVES… HE LIVES WITHIN MY HEART!” The words are more than words, they are a proclamation of the TRUTH we KNOW. I watched the History Channels; THE BIBLE and cried and spoke in the Spirit as the Holy Spirit was shown as coming to the apostles as the Bible said it did. This movie was made by man, and it has flaws just like we all do, but it has an anointing, and I celebrated with it.

This world might try to silence me, and it might even try to kill me, but Jesus Christ is ALIVE, sitting on the throne in Heaven, praying for every believer, and waiting for the time to return in the sky to then remove Christians and Messianic Jews from this world before the Great Tribulation begins. Times will be hard before even the first judgement comes, but His people will be taken to safety until the last trumpet, bowl, and vial are done, and then Jesus Christ will return WITH all of US who serve Him, and He will defeat the anti-Christ and sit on the throne in Jerusalem as KING.

These are the future prophecies yet to be fulfilled, but the only present prophecy that still needs to be completed BEFORE Jesus Christ returns is the last person to accept Jesus as Savior in this time period known as the Church Age or Grace Dispensation. Will you be one of the last? Will you help others that still need Him? Will you follow Jesus Christ as one of His believers in His Grace for all who are willing to accept His blood for their sins? Saul of Tarsus became Paul the apostle to begin churches and proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ. ANYONE can accept Jesus as Savior and change!

Accept God Almighty’s Grace through Jesus Christ and allow Him to SAVE you, give to you His Holy Spirit and Gifts to reach the rest of the world, and do what you can to be one of HIS. No other religion or belief system has the very one worshipped also be the one who saved those worshipping. Jesus Christ did and still does. His Holy Spirit is waiting to give you a new life, new abilities, and a new purpose. It’s not going to be that easy, and it might get hard to deal with the world when they turn on Christians the way Rome did so long ago, but Jesus is WITH US. FEEL HIM. KNOW HIM!

“Father God of Creation, I come to you in the name of Jesus Christ. I believe Jesus was born sinless, died for my sins in the cross, and rose again so I can be accepted by You as I believe His blood paid the price for the sin in my blood by birth. I accept Jesus Christ as my Savior, Lord, King, and Son of God Almighty of Creation. Forgive me and send me to do what You would have me to do for others, and help me to believe in the times I fail to see Your path for my life. In the name of Jesus Christ I ask, Father God Almighty of Creation, and give Your Gifts of the Holy Spirit anew. Amen.”

“WHEN I WENT TO SCHOOL…”

By Tonja Condray Klein©03/21/2021

When I went to school from 1977 through 1990 there were several subjects taught as FACTS to ALL students, NOT for a certain color, race, religion, community, or income: Biology is a SCIENCE invented by Aristotle in 384-322 B.C. through empirical investigation and has been the standard for medical research and development since; Mathematics began in GREECE during the 6th century B.C. with needed CALCULATIONS that are now used for the safety and proper production in many occupations of the past and the present; History may have different viewpoints depending upon their source or speaker, but they ALL are necessary to learn for complete understanding of our diverse country and the world, which is why there is local history, United States history, and World history. Opinions can vary but FACTS DO NOT.

1+1=2. See that period there? IT IS REALITY. It is NOT racist. It is NOT a point of debate. It is NOT something meant to confuse anyone working a regular math problem at any place in the known world. IF you have one (1) piece of gum and you add (+) one (1) piece of gum then you will have (=) two (2) pieces of gum. I’m 48 years old and have times of sickness, confusion, and even slight memory lapses, but I KNOW how to ADD (+), SUBTRACT (-), DIVIDE (/), and MULTIPLY (x) in real time. This is SIMPLE mathematics and FACT! ALGEBRA is a FACT. GEOMETRY is a FACT. TRIGONOMETRY is a FACT. CALCULUS is a FACT. Now when you get into theoretical mathematics with negative numbers or other calculations used for Quantum Physics then things change. THE OTHERS ARE ALL FACTS!

Why am I writing this? Well, have you looked at the homework of your kids, grandkids, or great-grandkids lately? I have helped my oldest niece and her children with many subjects over the years, and the changes of known methods that actually HELP do all the occupations we need done in this country are not only astounding but done on purpose to STOP children from learning basic skills that they need for the budget of their income. I took typing and business accounting in High School that helped me to get my first secretary jobs that didn’t require any more college training until I needed to make business websites nine years after high school graduation. I’m for education that helps student be trained for certain fields, but the education of 2021 is COMPLETELY INEPT compared to that of 1990!

Yes, I have had this mentality expressed in other op-eds I’ve done, but this one is full of absolute rage. Yes, I know you can’t fight the system or stop the machine either, but I DARE to BEAT the System and also RAGE AT the Machine! Will it do any good? Maybe not, but at least my typed voice could be heard and help people to see what we HAVE lost, what we are losing NOW, and what we COULD (GOD FORBID!) lose in the near future. I’m not being negative or against change that is proven as needed for the good of humanity. I AM against SCIENCE being lost as a PROVEN FACT that has been used against Christianity for centuries and any other ‘belief’ system of religion. I knew Science was NEVER against God Almighty who CREATED it to begin with. This reality is WHY it’s being tossed.

No reality is proven according to the academics in 2021. We CHOOSE what we want to be even if a Science formerly proved it without any doubt with empirical evidence that used to be demanded by scientists and inventors of disciplines needed for understanding, excelling with, and overcoming through any problem that could be solved if the right algorithm, calculation, timing, or lesson learned from the past could be used correctly. There is now NO right or wrong answer to a question for many subjects that used to have the student CRITICALLY THINK BY SCIENTIFIC COMARISON to come to the PROVEN FACT. PHILOSOPHY is NOT a Science but a Humanity study that has the opinions if different teachers or inventors to explain life questions of existence or thinking. It is ONLY opinions.

We’re facing academic totalitarian rule in classrooms. Critical Thinking is being dismissed. You either accept everything taught or you will fail the class or be labeled as someone who should be ‘re-educated’. This is the path to indoctrination of any premise of many different types of government that we have been fighting since this country’s creation. Men and women have fought and died to protect us FROM these horrible mind-controlling studies that are AGAINT EVERYTHING the United States of America stands for and WHY people around the world have tried to immigrate for centuries for the freedom we expect to have every day. Our Freedom is ending. The academics are no longer TEACHING or children; they are PROGRAMMING our children with things we DON’T want for them!

I’m not a parent, but I don’t want my two nieces’ children and grandchildren to be taught lies, conditioned to accept everything without the right to question or see proof for any given absolute taught. WE are not allowed to have absolutes, but THEY are allowed to give absolutes that they want future generations to accept as truth when their own absolutes are blatant misperceptions, absolute misdirection away from proof of the opposite, and down- right LIES. It used to be that academics USED to demand PROOF before teaching any given subject that is supposed to be proven FACTS. Used to be – a past tense past my own patience as someone who took my education very seriously! I studied these subjects and KNOW the TRUTH. I can’t be re-programmed! I also don’t want anyone’s kids to go through it!

Parents should NOT allow this to be happening! Go to your school’s board and make your own DEMANDS. They are teaching material that has been used to promote Marxism, Communism, and Totalitarian regimes that are all AGAINST the AMERCIAN models of legislation and government. What is happening RIGHT NOW is beginning to display it was an attempt to not just change the political party in power but an actual overthrow of Capitalism and our Democratic Republic. The Covid-19 pandemic made it possible for local, state, and federal government to gain almost total control of our rights. This has disenfranchised American citizens of their rights given by our Constitution and for longer than was stated. This was under the cover of ‘safety’, was maniacally planned, and then was blithely executed.

Now it’s already March of 2021, and we still don’t have all of our rights back even though we were promised it would only take weeks to ‘end the spread’. Ohio is doing better than other states with regaining rights, but we also don’t have as many as others at this point. I publishing my second book Christmas 2019 but was denied any opportunity to do book signings anywhere. I barely got Eirinth book 2 into the Library, but at least they didn’t stop that. I know any loved ones have been lost, and I don’t want to demean anyone still dealing with that. My husband had verified Covid-19 and recovered. I had the same symptoms first and survived. My mother almost died with a ‘virus’ that wasn’t verified, but symptoms she had later correlated to Covid-19. This is not about avoiding being affected by this pandemic. We were,

The main FACT is that government officials, media moguls, and academics are all trying to destroy the subjects that students need to be taught with FACTS instead of propaganda for government systems that generations of American soldiers fought against for the safety of OUR American citizens, OUR freedoms, and OUR way of life. This should NOT be allowed! Parents need to check out your schools and demand these types of lessons be STOPPED. IF they had tried to do this at Northridge when I was in school, my mother who was 41 when I was born would’ve been a FACT force to be reckoned with over something like this being allowed. We MUST maintain the integrity of Mathematics, Science, and History. If we don’t protect Fact-based lessons then this country will fall to ignorance and ideology worse than death!

As law-abiding American citizens, we are tasked with the protection of our freedom and that of our youth. We are responsible for the next generation, and as I’ve stated before, my generation failed their children in ways I grieve it. Their grandchildren might face even worse because of our mistakes in protecting all of the things that our parents did protect for us. As Ronald Reagan stated, “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.” This is frightening but very TRUE as we are witnessing it happen firsthand in 2021.

I don’t agree with any political party completely, but as a Christian American I have to vote my conscience. What is being systematically overthrown now is not only political but also academic. This is DANGEROUS. If our schools now only tell one side of History then that is indoctrination. If only one side of Science is shown then that is omission. If there is a multi-cultural, multi-ethnic, multi-racial community that is told that Mathematics is racist instead of offering help for anyone needing it so they can excel then THAT is racist! It’s NOT the equations that can give them the real possibility of providing for a future family with better skills for a better life. THAT is the American Dream no matter what color, race, religion, or background you are. It is WHY Americans need to STOP the infiltration of LIES in this nation’s schools!

When “How Can I Not” Becomes “Why Should I” – Part 3

By Tonja Condray Klein©03/11/2021

First of all, I’d like to make it perfectly clear that every opinion of action is not only towards all others who claim to be Christians but also to me. I read the Bible study by Anne Graham Lotz in the DECISIONS magazine from the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association March 2021 and was humbled as I read the scriptures she noted, saw the true beauty of the meaning to the Church of Jesus Christ, and wept as I repented of the times I had failed my Lord and Savior. THIS is how Revival truly begins. Judgement begins at the House of God! We need to listen to the Bible and the Holy Spirit.

It must have been increasingly depressing for those in captivity in the times of Daniel, Nehemiah, and Jeremiah in their land of Israel. How could they even think about speaking the words the Lord gave to them when their very lives were at risk? Yet they did. Over the course of history in this world, people of Judeo-Christian Faiths have had to do the same in the time of Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, and Tao. Now in 2021 America, we might come to the point we will have to stand in the midst of possible punishment if we hold true to what the Torah and Holy Bible says we have to speak as being truth.

Americans have enjoyed Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Assembly, and Freedom of Religion since its creation. I personally have never had to fear sharing what I know the Holy Bible says about any subject in discussion, but now? This might no longer be allowed by American citizens even in discussion if views are opposite those of special interest groups that will be ‘protected’ from anything they view as ‘hate speech’. Opposing views that don’t use degrading metaphors or titles should NEVER be tagged as ‘hate speech’. Freedom of Speech protects speech we don’t agree with for a reason.

If we lose the ability to discuss, debate, and agree to disagree while still allowing people to express their views as safe personally then our country WILL NO LONGER BE FREE. This should not only upset those of faith or any religious belief but also those of different backgrounds and groups that want the right to open representation. “No taxation without representation” was the cry of patriots before the American Revolution. Why should we be forced to not speak what we believe is truth because someone else doesn’t agree? We EACH should have our voices be heard and openly allowed!

“How can I not?” is my cry in 2021. We have so many in groups that call themselves churches that live by ‘Why should I?” since it is convenient to not give friction between others who might not agree with them. John the Baptist was a non-conforming individualist who prepared the way for Jesus Christ to then stand against the religious groups in His time for the TRUTH that HE IS. Christians need to understand that we are not called to be silent. Jesus made a point that if the ones praising Him were silenced then the very rocks would cry out. I WON’T LET A ROCK TAKE MY PLACE!

One of the latest bills that has already passed in the House of Representatives recently and still needs to pass in the Senate would be very negative to those who have conservative views by actually making it illegal to express those viewpoints. THIS is DANGEROUS to our FREEDOM. I might not be able to even post links to my personal op-eds on social media sites like I do now if this happens. While some wouldn’t care about it happening to me, how would YOU feel if something YOU believe in was on that list of things no longer allowed to even be spoken about publically?

This seems Orwellian, right? Welcome to 2021 in America! If ever Christians began to pray against these things, speak out to our leaders, and come together as a united front then IT IS NOW. How can we allow our own freedom-loving Democratic Republic to turn into the land of the bound and home of the repressed? WE CAN’T. Freedom of Speech needs to remain protected for ALL AMERICANS! That has been one of our pillars of society since 1776. Even a historical date is being hit with the freight train of biased lies. Students are no longer being taught documented facts of history.

I’ve mentioned my disregard for present-day teaching mandates, and I will continue to do so for as long as I have rights, but I don’t do it because I disdain education. I was going to college with Teaching as my Minor! I had the grades in high school to get grants and scholarships to go for a Major in Computer Science and a Minor in Teaching if I hadn’t been ill and had to withdraw. Education in important, but only if facts are represented in curriculum. I have read different grade homework that my great-nieces would get me to help them with, and I knew the facts I’d learned were replaced with lies.

I’ve also mentioned the non-fiction novel LIVE NOT BY LIES: A MANUAL FOR CHRISTIAN DISSIDENTS by Rod Dreher. If you are as concerned for America in 2021 as I am, I suggest you get this novel and read it for not only historical facts all over the world but also the parallels we need to be aware of with what is happening in our country. I’m actually angry. My father fought and bled in World War II, and his brother died in combat that had my father being sent home. The changes happening now are not only a slap to every single veteran then and now but to military families too.

I don’t want socialism. I don’t want communism. I don’t want an oligarchy. I don’t want an authoritarian state. I WANT THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC MY UNCLE DIED FOR AND MY FATHER FOUGHT TO KEEP! I won’t sit by and stay silent anymore just to ‘get along’. The Facts are the Facts. Our way of government has been the envy of others in this world for generations. IT WORKS. The only time it doesn’t is when egomaniacs in government try to take control over WE THE PEOPLE, and THAT doesn’t work for long. Americans have always been FREE-thinkers.

Why has this ‘free-thinking’ suddenly deteriorated? Brainwashing students from grammar school through college with non-factual classes, forcing workers to be re-educated at work on non-work subjects, and constant media coverage of every single possible social stance that goes against every single spiritual leaning of mankind – yes, that would do it. It’s been going on for YEARS behind the curtain, but it’s now being thrust front and center in our own living rooms. Hey, if we want free stuff with free money and free time from not working to do whatever we want then NO free-thinking!

There are quite a few really BAD words that I’d like to use right now – FREE SPEECH, LEGAL GUNS, OPEN FAITH, PAYING JOBS, PERSONAL HEALTHCARE, ATOMIC FAMILY, and BIBLICAL MARRIAGE. Oooh… REALLY BAD WORDS! At least they are for those currently trying to destroy our country. While a couple of those are terms used during my Generation-X or earlier, if you have read, listened, or watched conservative news then you’ll know each of them by now. The point is that we NEED to realize what is happening and what is at stake NOW.

Blow ye trumpet in Zion! Sound the alarm in thy holy mountain! As Christians we should be spiritual Watchers on the Wall of our country the way those in the Old Testament were physically for Israel. I’m not trying to incite panic or a need for fear, but we do need to be MINDFUL of reality within the confines of Biblical prophetic possibilities. America has kept other forms of government from overtaking us for decades, and it’s up to US of legal age and citizenship to make sure we do everything legal to oppose what leaders are trying to do to our country in 2021 to deny Americans our rights.

What can we do? PRAY. Intercessors for America (IFA) is a great source and meeting media for Christians to pray together digitally online or on the phone first Friday of the month, Tuesdays and Thursdays too right now. VOTE. Even though they are trying to pass bills that will make your vote no longer count, do it while you still can. SHARE. No matter what way you use to spread the Gospel and love of Jesus Christ, do it while you can with the understanding that time is of the essence like never before in this country. We need the ELIJAH of each generation to STAND now. ~TK~

When “How Can I Not” Becomes “Why Should I” – Part 2

By Tonja Condray Klein© 03/01/21

One of the things that troubles me the most about the current situation with the Christian Church in 2021 is the absolute sense of complacency. While I have also been discouraged, upset, and even angry over current situations, I still seek to DO SOMETHING when I can for who needs it with what I have. I look around and see many churches seeming to sink into a sense of unimportance, trying to weather a storm that is overwhelming any fortress of worldly protection now. Where is the POWER OF GOD through His Holy Spirit in supposed believers of Jesus Christ and His shed Blood on Calvary? Where can a lost soul FIND SALVATION when churches are preaching a bunch of hackneyed platitudes that have NO SUBSTANCE and NO HOPE of doing anything for God Almighty? I’ve PERSONALLY seen the POWER OF GOD fall on Christ believers as ministers, singers, and musicians yield to an OUTPOURING of the Holy Spirit to the point of people being slain in the Spirit, healed, filled with Gifts, saved, and transformed! This is NOT a trick. This is NOT an illusion. This is NOT some plea for money. THIS IS A TRUE TOUCH OF GOD ALMIGHTY WE NEED!

When I graduated from high school I became a youth sponsor before I was even eighteen years old, but I saw the pews filled with young people, and many prayed at the alters to receive the filling of the Holy Spirit with any Gift God wanted to give to them to preach, testify, heal, mend, and lead people to the knowledge of Salvation in Jesus Christ. It wasn’t something you learned by rote. It wasn’t given as a pamphlet to memorize. It wasn’t a brainwashing exercise to get people emotionally integrated into a religious affiliation. IT IS REAL! I know because I was THERE, I experienced HIM, and I SAW what He did for anyone who sought HIM! No one can ever make me doubt it because I WAS THERE AND I KNOW JESUS AND HIS HOLY SPIRIT PERSONALLY!! Anyone who says anything else is a LIAR! I WAS THERE! I KNOW THAT I KNOW THAT I KNOW THAT I KNOW!!! I’ve been so blessed to have the Lord give Messages in Tongues through me and Interpretations in Tongues also through me. I pray in the Spirit every day, not because I have to but because when the Spirit touches my heart I can only praise my Jesus! This is not hysteria but Holy Fire!

In 1990, I was sure the greatest revival was going to break free and that I would probably be leaving soon. It’s now 2021, and I’m wondering WHAT HAPPENED? Did good spiritual soil get polluted by worldly comforts to tame us and false teachings to dull us? I recently listened to Andrus, Blackwood, and Company’s “Jesus, You’re So Wonderful”, R. W. Schambaugh’s “God Is God”, and DC Talk’s “Jesus Freak” and am still wondering, WHAT HAPPENED TO US? Generation-X, WHAT HAPPENED? Are ANY of you looking for Jesus? Are any of you feeling the need for MORE? Do any of you feel as useless as I do right now as we watch our country and world barreling towards Hell at an alarming rate? DO YOU!?! What else needs to happen to make us WAKE UP!?! We have failed the children of our generation, and now we’re failing our grandchildren! How many more generations do YOU want to give to Satan? HOW MANY MORE??? Do you want your grown children or grandchildren to go to Hell? Do you?!? I have my nieces and nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews, and now great-great-nieces and great-great-nephews I must reach NOW!

With all that is going on, where is the need for sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ in any way or media we can? I’ve tried to do it with music, novels, and written or audio blogs. The NEED is there. The TRUTH is there. The HEART is there. How can anyone ignore the people who are crying out for what we already have that they need EVERY SINGLE DAY AND NIGHT? Can you even hear them anymore? Have you allowed you heart to harden against anyone who isn’t in your group or denomination? Even though I’m full-Gospel and believe in the Gifts of the Holy Spirit, anyone who has accepted Jesus as Savior is my brother or sister. If you are hurting, Jesus Christ is right there with His Holy Spirit ready to comfort, protect, inspire, strengthen, and call you according to God Almighty’s Divine Will! You don’t have to go to any building, confess to a priest or pastor, or even join a church. YOU JUST NEED TO SEEK JESUS AND HIS SPIRIT! It really is THAT SIMPLE. Salvation is through believing Jesus Christ died for your sins and accepting Him as your Savior, then asking the Holy Spirit to overflow you with God’s Gifts. God Almighty promised it to ANY who BELIEVE!

I accepted Jesus Christ as my Savior when I was eight. When I was thirteen I called out to the pastor that I needed to receive the Baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of Speaking in other Tongues and was filled by praying for Jesus to use me as He would through His Gifts by His Holy Spirit overflowing me. You can do this where you are right now without even having another soul with you if you don’t know believers who have accepted this. Some refuse to believe that this Promise is still happening today and think it died out with the original apostles. IT DID NOT. Peter wrote in the book of Acts that this was for you, your children, your children’s children, and those afar off, as many as the Lord shall call.” That is NEVER ENDING until after the Church Age ends, which will include the Rapture of Christ believers that include the Messianic Jews that have accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior too. You don’t have to accept any of the Gifts. You don’t have to speak in tongues. You don’t have to do anything but accept Jesus as Savior to be SAVED. The Gifts are just an added benefit to help those willing to do MORE, especially in the Last Days. We are getting CLOSE.

Once again, this is not to alarm you to do something stupid like stockpile goods or riches. This is to OPEN YOUR EYES to what God Almighty in Jesus Christ with the Holy Spirit wants you to be equipped with to finish ushering in the actual FINAL GREAT REVIVAL! I want to see people SAVED. I want to see people HEALED. I want to see people DELIVERED. I want to see people FILLED. I want to see people SHOUT. I want to see people SING IN THE SPIRIT. I want to see people DANCE IN THE SPIRIT. I want to see people FREED! Don’t you want Jesus Christ through His touch with the Holy Spirit to SET YOU FREE? I DO!!! Not an emotional turmoil or some pretend spiritual act. I WANT THE REAL POWER OF GOD ALMIGHT TO FALL AGAIN! I’ve felt Him. I’ve had Him flow through me as I fell out under the honest Spirit of God Almighty. No one pushed me down. I felt the Presence of the Holy Spirit RUSH over me like a mighty wave! It was liberating! It was empowering! It was soothing! It was mending! It was God Almighty able to flow through Tonja Renee Condray to restore what I was meant to be since before I was born again through Jesus Christ.

Many of the present so-called ‘churches’ who claim to be Christians don’t seem to be anything but dried up empty meetings with bagels and coffee. No Spiritual Gifts. No Biblical Teachings. No Life Changes. No Personal Growth. Just NOTHING! When you have to get a ‘consultant’ to tell you exactly what you can and can’t have in your church to get the ‘right kind’ of members then you better just STOP. If there is no REAL ANOINTING OF GOD ALMIGHTY’S HOLY SPIRIT then you have NOTHING. All the money in the world that your members give will burn one day in the crucible of God Almighty at the Judgement Seat of Christ… if you make it there and don’t end up at the White Throne Judgement. Each of us need to REALLY INSPECT OURSELF! Revival begins in the House of God! I don’t care how long you’ve been sitting in a pew or using the same hymnal, if you don’t have a LIVING relationship with Jesus Christ then YOU ARE NOT SAVED. The Gifts are a separate thing, so don’t misunderstand me. Gifts are secondary, but SALVATION is the MOST IMPORTANT thing you need to analyze for yourself. WE NEED TO BE SAVED FIRST!

All of this really is Christianity 101. I want the REVIVAL with the GIFTS, but SALVATION is FIRST. All the rest will fall in line once we realize that God Almighty has more for us than dried up pruned rules and boring council meetings to figure out what kind of pews to buy for comfort. WE NEED OPEN FLOORS TO LET US SHOUT! WE NEED GOSPEL MUSIC TO BREAK OUR PRIDE! WE NEED BIBLE WORDS TO PIERCE OUR HEARTS TO GAIN SALVATION THROUGH A RELATIONSHIP WITH CHRIST! WE NEED SHEETS FOR WHEN THE WOMEN GET HIT WITH THE POWER OF GOD AND FALL IN THE SPIRIT AS THEY PRAISE IN TONGUES! WE NEED THIS! One time at the church where I received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, we had a service where the Holy Spirit interrupted it with a message, the pastor stopped preaching, the people started shouting, and the whole congregation went around the pews shouting with joy since GOD WAS WITH US! We didn’t plan it. We didn’t interfere with it. We didn’t turn away from it. WE EMBRACED HIM THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST AS OUR SAVIOR! That is God’s POWER.

The Gifts of the Holy Spirit are meant to verify our Faith with believers, show the Power of God with unbelievers, and break the shackles of the world away from anything that God Almighty is doing at that time in people’s lives. THIS IS WHY. It’s not rocket science, people! It’s God Almighty Proof. People have tried to pretend it, but real believers know a fake. People have tried to sell it, but it is without price through Faith in Jesus Christ that is FREE. It doesn’t have a list of expectations, but once you accept the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, He will let you know when something isn’t right, when it IS right, and when you need to just let Him be there with nothing more but His Peace. I still mess up and sin at times even though I pray in Tongues at least once a day. I’m not perfect, but that’s why I need Jesus as Savior in the first place. The Holy Spirit will reprove you if you try to wander down the wrong path, but you can keep NOT LISTENING and end up in a heap of trouble. You can always repent, turn away from what lead you off, and come back to the foot of the Cross where Jesus is always WAITING to FORGIVE and RESTORE you! PRAY AND ACCEPT HIS GIFTS TOO! ~TK~

When “How Can I Not” Becomes “Why Should I” – Part 1

By Tonja Condray Klein – 02/24/21

Within the seven churches mentioned in Revelation of the Christian Bible, the one I most abhor and pity would be Laodicea. Each church except Philadelphia have at least one vice or shortcoming to account for at the Judgment Seat of Christ that occurs after the Rapture of the Church of believers who are saved by Faith in the blood of the Lamb of God and rescued to Heaven before the Great Tribulation begins on Earth. Most in biblical study have concurred that this will be the last church in the chronological phase of the Church Age that is also the Grace Dispensation for eschatology.

I’ve been a born-again Christian since I was eight years old and accepted Jesus Christ as my Personal Savior. I began singing at church when I was eleven and also writing songs. I was filled with the Baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of Speaking in other Tongues when I was thirteen. I began teaching children’s church when I was fourteen. I have always wanted to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with my testimony and singing for forty years of my life. I began writing stories while in middle school, but my calling began with writing my first Eirinth Fantasy novel in 2009.

Fiction writing has been stated as a waste of time and energy in some academic and even Christian groups, but I hold up my writing of this as an example of trying to reach some with the Gospel of Jesus Christ in a way that can keep them from using their pre-conceived ideas of Christianity to lock their hearts away from letting the truth of Jesus Christ even find a way to give them what their heart, soul, and body needs more than anything else in this existence. Jesus Christ used ‘parables’ that were simply ‘stories’ to get into the weary hearts of men and women closed off by dead religion.

The One True Living God Almighty as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is longing for His Church to SEE what’s going on around them, REPENT from hard-heartedness, and FIND all the ways to reach this dying world for HIS GLORY and THEIR SALVATION THROUGH JESUS CHRIST! We have TOO MANY pharisaical churches now that make the ones that crucified Jesus Christ seem like milkweeds. We are supposed to ALL want people to KNOW JESUS! ALL!!! Not a few. Not those you want. Not those who can help your position in men’s eyes. ALL who can be SAVED!

Christianity is NOT a closed group, a member-only club through church acceptance, or a religious wheel of propriety that shows how holy they are and how evil everyone else is. THAT IS NOT RIGHT! JESUS SAID ANY! I will LIVE AND DIE by that mandate… ANY!!! If you have been made aware of your sin, you understand that Jesus Christ died in your place for them, and you ask HIM for forgiveness and offer your life to HIM to cleanse, heal, and empower then YOU ARE SAVED. No church has the right to disown you. JESUS CHRIST accepts you if you make HIM yours.

Why do I despise Laodicea so much? I despise it since I see it EVERY SINGLE DAY. Our world is living in the Last Days specified in the biblical prophetic texts. I’m not a scholar. I’m not a clergy woman. I’m not even degreed by any school for biblical studies. I read. I pray. I watch. I compare. I know. Could there be more years than I think? Yes. Does that mean I’m going to let my “How can I not” become a “Why should I”? NO! I should and am trying to keep sharing all I know for as long as I can. Does that mean I can reach millions? No, but if just ONE is reached, it matters.

Laodicea is one of the greatest fallacies of faith in the span of time for this entire world. Seeming to be wise, they become fools. Thinking they have everything they become poor. Lying to themselves and each other that they are all holy they become blind. Look around! How many churches do you see in your home area, but how many are showing the Love of Jesus with Truth of sin and Need of the Savior? NOT THAT MANY. Thousands, nay millions fill our streets, but how many are trying to reach people’s hearts? They are DEAD churches with DRY bones that need NEW LIFE!

I wrote Eirinth to try to get those claiming to know Jesus Christ to see that the Gifts of the Spirit are REAL in our world even if the world of Eirinth is allegorical. I thought that people would understand and embrace the reality of the gifts to empower His Church in these last days now more than ever. I at least thought it could be used to reach those in certain reading groups to give Christianity a chance with this different approach. These two books so far in 2021 are my HEART! My complete LOVE OF JESUS AS MY SAVIOR is also pain for the lost as His Ambassador of Hope.

I know that many in the true church of Jesus Christ are tired, worn, discouraged, depressed, powerless, and even angry. I am all of those things too right now. I just have a fire burning in my soul that will not let me stop sharing what I know that I KNOW. Not fiction, but a story that leads to Life Eternal, especially in Book 2 with a very dramatic Salvation in Eirinth with references to Christ to reach the souls of those still searching for what I ALREADY HAVE – JESUS! He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. I’m living proof in 2021. SEEK HIM. FIND HIM. KNOW HIM. HE NOW WAITS!

It’s About WHO You Know – Op-Ed 01/29/21

By Tonja Condray Klein©01/29/21

As Americans plunge into the new year of 2021, changes are happening that many may not even realize the significance of when it comes to our freedoms, our rights, and our responsibilities. I’m the daughter of a deceased U.S. veteran of World War II born in 1913, so I will probably react very differently than most of my generation since my dad was already 59 years old when I was born. Yes, I will be 49 this year, my mother turns 90, and my sister will be 71. We each have her own viewpoints of how to live her own life, but all three of us know the fundamental truth in the title.

During different decades the truth in the title never really has faltered – whether in places of employment, groups in society, or even at school it always was about WHO you knew to get the best position, the best material goods, or the best clubs to add skills to your academics. There was a time when I was younger and in church that I didn’t think that it mattered there, but I’m seeing a disparity even in those places where it should never be about ‘who’ as far as people, but more about the WHO as in God Almighty through Jesus Christ with the Holy Spirit. Unfortunately, that isn’t the case.

I believe in Grace through Faith and that not of myself. I believe that my standing in church should be about the love that I show others to express the Love of God the Father as His child. While I work to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the infilling of the Holy Spirit, I don’t ‘earn points’ or get a higher ‘ranking’ with God for any of it. While I sometimes doubt that Truth and try to PROVE that I am spiritually minded I usually fall flat on my face when I feel so good about what I’ve done that I forget what Jesus Christ already did for me and through me for you. HE is the WHO!

I have always had too much pride in my abilities at school when it came to my grades since I was so sick it was truly a miracle that I got good grades at all. I try to give Jesus the glory since He was the One to save me then give His Holy Spirit to me for help in this world. Yet still, I might try to write more enigmatically (big word that perhaps shows intellect) than I should to prove that I’m not a blonde idiot. Yes, the blonde thing is another issue I’ve dealt with in life though my mother says I didn’t, but she wasn’t at school or work with me. What I’m learning now is NOT the WHAT.

I have heard some of the most prevalent educational people say the DUMBEST things in my almost 49 years. I am aware that you are supposed to spell out the age, but I’m trying to be more honest, open, and less vernacularly high. For anyone who knows that word then you know I’m making a joke about that adjective. I LOVE the English language! Grammar, adjectives, and complex sentences always got great grades in English class, and since I’m a writer by choice now I’m not going to apologize for wanting people to look up what some words mean. There is a point in stating that.

Jesus doesn’t want you to memorize the statutes in Leviticus, the genealogy of the church fathers, or the main feasts celebrated in ancient times. Jesus doesn’t want you to quote scripture for the sake of impressing those at the church you attend either. Jesus wants you to know HIM. Reading the Holy Bible helps you to know HIM. Praying each time you need to helps you to know HIM. Going to church to fellowship with fellow believers in the Salvation He bled to give to you helps you to know HIM. It’s not about us. It’s always about HIM – Jesus Christ, Son of God and Savior.

Do you KNOW HIM? Even when doubt slips into my consciousness after 41 years serving Jesus Christ as my Savior, Lord, King, and God, I still have to remind myself of the simple Truth I will believe with my dying breath – I KNOW HIM. Not a religion. Not a principle. Not a philosophy. When I hear a Spirit-inspired song play and cry, I do it because I KNOW HIM. When I read scriptures and think about how He was even before those words were, I KNOW HIM. When I feel the Holy Spirit move inside my heart and soul during the rough times then I KNOW HIM.

It’s personal. It’s passionate. It’s poignant. It’s more than I’ll ever deserve, more than I can ever repay, and more than I will ever be able to truly explain. The Bible says He sings over those He loves. I sometimes think I can hear a song now one else ever has, and though I may be imagining it, I will still try to listen to just a moment to catch the words to use for a song I might write to share with others. It truly is something worth living for, worth dying for, worth giving for, and worth everything. Do I ever want my books to be known and enjoyed by readers? Sure, but I’d rather YOU KNOW HIM.

“The Attack on Freedom of Speech in 2021”

Op-Ed by Tonja Condray Klein©01/17/21

There was a time in my older sister’s life before I was born when the issue of Freedom of Speech made people rise up against censorship and called those actions illegal according to the First Amendment. It led to varied stances for society, education, and personal liberty, and while it began to protect views against a party in power, it also held for all opposite views to be protected too. Now, certain media outlets are beginning to take accounts away from those with an opposing view to silence them. We must maintain Freedom of Speech for ALL AMERICAN CITIZENS in 2021!

The First Amendment of the United States of America’s Constitution states that, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech; or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” It has been understood that this amendment protects American citizens with the right to express views on any issue in open forums, and that the government can’t deprive you of that unless it’s classified and could danger our country’s safety.

There are many ideas, concepts, descriptions, or expletives that I will never support and try to stay away from as much as humanly possible; but I also support the right for those that support one or all of them to express or support any of them as long as not expressly illegal for them to do so since FREEDOM OF SPEECH is for every legal American. Is this troublesome to me at times? Yes. Will I still support this amendment even if I don’t agree with the content used by someone else that has a view opposite of mine? Yes. Why? Right or wrong, this is an important American Freedom!

As long as a person’s freedom doesn’t take away the freedom of another then it is what this country was founded upon in 1776 and upheld for over two hundred-forty-five years; but now different methods of speech are being limited by media outlets claiming the speech goes against stated rules for users. While private companies have that right, if they are working with government agents who DO have to follow the First Amendment, then their users’ First Amendment rights ARE being violated since the company is no longer ‘private’ in the way the other statutes require it to be for protection.

If the company rules are examined and the speech is blocked when it doesn’t obviously violate the rules listed for users, then that makes it become a form of suppression that has been used by other kinds of governments but NOT with a democratic republic such as ours. This is something this country has fought against since its creation. If it’s allowed then it will mean at least half of our country will no longer be allowed to have the same rights as those who will agree with the new political regime that will govern for four years. ALL AMERICANS SHOULD HAVE FREEDOM OF SPEECH!

Will this op-ed change the minds of those who have actually been taught false government history that is against our democratic republic? I would say, “Probably not”. Mind-altering programming in education has taken away the rights of children to learn historical FACTS or more than one viewpoint for them to decide if they want history to repeat or not. Some things do have more than one side for a discussion, but others are not only globally true but also universally. Once Freedom of Speech is removed from a major dissenting group then those taking power make slaves out of all the others.

Mankind has always tried to exert personal power over others throughout history, but THIS IS NOT AMERICA! Humanity is flawed, and we have failed often, but our country’s founders tried to make America an example at that time of what FREEDOM should strive to be. While we have had our moments of leaders failing groups of people in the past, 2021 should not put us in any of those positions again! Rights as stated in our Constitution should be legislated as stated and not changed on the whim of a certain group with political bias that defeats our government system as a whole.

As a Protestant Christian I don’t want my faith to be persecuted or for those who share it to be silenced. I have friends who are Catholic, Jewish, Buddhist, Islamic, and Wiccan so I want their rights to be protected too. We should all have the right to declare our faith as Free Speech allows, compare differences if agreed upon by those in discussion, and not attack each other physically unless in defense. Any other issue should be peacefully debated by those with differing viewpoints. Generations since mine seem to have lost the ability to do any of this at all, and that’s sad and wrong.

I have two webpages that I am now concerned about losing simply because of my viewpoints, opinions, and faith; this is something I never thought I’d face in my lifetime. I have family and friends who are on the opposite side of politics and religion, but I want their rights to be kept free as much as I want my own to be. THAT is a democratic republic. Now if I’m right about my Christian faith and Jesus Christ returns to rule from Jerusalem after the Great Tribulation, then I’ll embrace HIS Theocracy since it will be by our Creator and my Savior. Until then, a democratic republic is my choice.

Facebook, Linked-In, and even LiveJournal may not allow my opinion editorials to be shared on their platforms, but I’m hoping that they and the website hosts will NOT try to silence differing opinions simply for the sake of power. I don’t seek power but want equal justice for ALL Americans regardless of race, color, creed, religion, or gender. THAT’S the American way I was raised on, and I want to have the FREEDOM to share what I know with whomever I wish if they are willing to read or listen. What they do after that is up to them. I WANT FREEDOM OF SPEECH PROTECTED!

“Quantum Tunnel Me Up, Jesus!” OP-ED 01/07/21

By Tonja Condray Klein©01/07/21

I’ve been studying a lot of odd things over the past few years that at first seemed more the “Sci-Fi/Fantasy Fiction Lover” part of me than the “Christian End-of-Times Salvation Writer” part of me. As things seem to be changing in direct and despairing ways, I’ve recently noticed that these two parts of me are finally making sense as those two divergent ways also seem to be merging. Why would a certain part of our government demand another part of our government to give any factual information on extra-terrestrial beings that apparently has been found, studied, and even examined physically?

When Nick Pope appeared on Tucker Carlson’s program on Fox News, I took notice of it since I’ve also been an intellectual watcher of “Ancient Aliens” as research for my Non-Fiction Christian Speculative novel, and Nick Pope is a regular. I wrote an essay on my tribulationhelp.com website already about how ‘extra-terrestrials’ could be linked later as a way to discount the ‘Rapture’ of Christian believers when we supernaturally disappear from this Earth. With the sudden change in leadership in 2021, the government may not share anything about ‘aliens’ until it is of greatest convenience.

I’m not the only Christian asking about these intersections of science fiction and Christian eschatology either. At one point many scientists were also Christians in this world but not in 2021. It seems that when science began discounting Christianity, many Christian leaders decided to discount them and claim that science itself was evil. Spiritual forefathers abandoned scholastics, and that’s why academia has become a weapon against God. God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit ARE the Creators of science! When God the Creator said, “Let there be light”, the Word began all science disciplines!

I took three years of Chemistry and loved all of the complexities of combining different elements to cause various reactions. It spoke to me as a person of imagination and was also why I created my one character translated from Earth in TREADING THE PATH to be able to do it visually in the mythical parallel world of Eirinth. If I can write my stories in 2021 to have some truth in the fiction, what do you think people have been doing for the thousands of years we’ve been here? The ‘myths’ possibly locked away in Alexandria by the Christian leaders centuries ago might be history instead.

“That’s crazy!” some of you may yell in outrage. Are you forgetting ‘Parables’ Jesus used in His teachings to reach the people emotionally and practically? “But any fiction is false and evil!” more of you cry out in anger. The last time I checked my Holy Bible, JESUS NEVER SINNED! How could parables (spoken stories meant for a purpose but NOT actually happening) be evil if spoken by Jesus Christ, Son of the One True Living God Almighty? IF DONE FOR THE SAME PURPOSE – TO LEAD PEOPLE TO SALVATION – THEY AREN’T! Wake up and read the Truth!

I know there are a lot of people who claim to be ‘Christian’ that haven’t really accepted Jesus Christ as his or her Personal Savior. Like the ‘Republicans in name only’ or RINOS, those who don’t KNOW JESUS aren’t His. I seriously don’t want a single person to not understand the distinction and be lost on this Earth, especially after Christ believers are relocated to Heaven while destruction on Earth happens as judgement. I know it’s been warned about for centuries, but don’t you think the longer is seems to take means the closer we are to the spiritual ENDGAME? Use your brains!

Yes, you are dealing with someone who loves the Marvel hero movies! Did you ever wonder why there are so many fictional heroes that have been created over the existence of time? Whether we are talking about musical, mystical, mythological, science-fictional, or anime-central these all point to what each person’s soul longs for… the Savior! It is in our genes, programmed into our DNA by the Creator of all existence, and crying out for what our fallen sin-nature fights against. THAT is WHY we NEED a SAVIOR! Not just any hero but the One willing to become flesh without sin for us!

The link in all of this is actually simple. The angel Lucifer fell to become Satan and tried to pollute the bloodline of humanity through having other fallen angels bed human women to create ‘Giants’ spoken of in the Torah, Holy Bible of Christianity, and proven history. The ‘Nephilim’ in Hebrew were to stop Jesus Christ from being able to be born intact. IF Satan could have every human woman have even a bit of Nephilim blood then Jesus Christ couldn’t be born in human form without sin to die for humanity to give Salvation through Faith. It’s not rocket science but God’s immortal science!

As more things are happening and look like Bible Prophecies being actually fulfilled in ways that couldn’t happen until now, Christians need to really take a good look at where you are, what you are doing for Christ, and why you fight so hard against admitting that we ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God. We need to LOVE ONE ANOTHER and get over ourselves! We shouldn’t accept sin as being ‘okay’, ‘water down’ the Gospel of Jesus Christ, or focus on the ‘building a kingdom’ on our own either. We NEED to NEED JESUS more than anything else in this whole universe!

I don’t discredit PROVEN science. I don’t discount Science Fiction either. Supernatural is the dichotomy of the spiritual with the natural intertwined like the DNA strands of our humanity. Yes, I do write FICTION. Yes, I do believe in CHRISTIANITY. Do I honestly think that the two coexist in a Truth that certain groups keep trying to deny because they can’t comprehend the possibility even though God Almighty is a conundrum in Reality? YES! For the Quadrillion to the Umpteenth power, YES! NONE of us know the extensive levels of existence and ability of our Creator. No, not one!

This is meant to not only get Christians to truly think about the reality of our imminent departure but also to call out to those who have dismissed Jesus Christ as a myth or some other foolery that just wants control over you. How many of you are already giving people, places, things, or even substances power enough to control you? No matter what I had to let go of to gain my Faith, it NEVER could have given to me what JESUS HAS ALREADY. Do I have problems? Yes. Do I have times of discouragement? Yes. Do I have moments of doubt? Yes. Why do I still want Jesus? HE IS LIFE!

I have Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis in remission. Do I believe in Healing? Yes. Am I angry that God hasn’t given it to me completely yet? No. Why? Job spoke it the best when he said, “Even though He slay me, yet will I trust Him!” Ever wonder why the Centurion followed what Jesus told him to do? He KNEW what Jesus said would be. Once you have an experience with the Soul-Saving Son of the Most High God of Creation, YOU KNOW. Even if you doubt sometimes, you’ll find yourself speaking that Faith in spite of any fear. Because HE Lives I can face tomorrow!

I don’t know the battles you are now fighting. I don’t know if you are at the point of giving up. I don’t even know if you are in a place where you will give Jesus Christ a chance to show you what He has for you. I don’t, but HE DOES. I had a car wreck a week before Christmas 2020, so how could I write this since my 2011 Chevy Aveo was totaled? I hit the small bit of water and hydroplaned into an Xterra, but I only got two bruised knees. Do you know how tank-like an Xterra is? I DO NOW! I also KNOW that my guardian angel used that water to slide me in a way so my airbag didn’t trigger.

Why did the accident happen? Maybe it was for the driver of the other vehicle, the tow truck driver, the rental car driver, the insurance customer service agent, or the insurance adjustor. I gave cards to all of those I met in person that has my websites listed and told those on the phone the websites too. Maybe one of them needed an unusual way that points to Jesus, and I may not know until the Judgement Seat of Christ in Heaven after I’m evacuated from Earth spiritually… or supernaturally as the terms fits. That brings me to the reason for the title of this odd op-ed that may be ignored by most.

After being a Sci-Fi fan for forty years I finally think I found a proper scientific term for the ‘Rapture’ or ‘Calling Away’ of the believers in Christ known as the Church – Quantum Tunneling! I read about this in an article on Wikipedia, but they didn’t give the author name for me to give proper credit so just look it up if you want to read more on it. The term actually is talking about the phenomena in relation to nuclear fusion, but as I read it I began thinking about how Jesus rose again. The New Testament says that our bodies during the Rapture will become like that of Jesus after His resurrection.

What if it DOES take the same kind of powerful energy like nuclear fusion to transform us? What if instead of a flight through the sky we will be taking a rocket-blast through the dimensional realm? What if all that we think we know in logistical data from spiritually-minded mentors turns out to be even less than what was proposed in Star Trek? What if my song lyrics for “Like Rocket Fire” are more reality than even I thought? What if our departure really will be like that Quantum Tunneling with Divine protection? Well, I guess that means I should pray, “Quantum Tunnel Me Up, Jesus!”

“When an Accident is a Reminder of the Grace in Christmas” Op-Ed 12/21/20

By Tonja Condray Klein

On Saturday 12/19/20, I had an accident on the way home from shopping for Christmas presents. I was only five miles or so away from home at a light I know like the back of my hand when I realized an SUV in front of me wasn’t yet moving even though the light was green. I had already slowed down, but I hadn’t expected my last pump on the break to send me into a fish-tail. The pavement was slick from rain I hadn’t expected since I hadn’t had any issues all the way to that point, so all I could do was hold onto the steering wheel, scream out to Jesus to help, and wait for the impact.

The impact was not as bad as it could have been since I wasn’t going that fast from having already slowed on the way to the light. I haven’t had an accident or a ticket for the past thirty years. Yes, that’s right, I wrote 30 YEARS! After the pain in my knees got my attention I realized the impact had ended. I was okay except for bruises I knew I’d have on my knees from the dash and soreness in my shoulders from the hit jerking me. The man from the vehicle in front that I had rear-ended due to stupid rain making the pavement slick came to see if I was okay. He and his SUV were okay.

The man called the police to report the accident, and I called Ken to tell him about the wreck. The man and I both took pics of the other’s id and insurance cards then moved the cars to an empty lot on the same street. After ordering a tow for my car so badly crushed in front that I was barely able to turn the wheel to get car into the lot, the man and I waited for the police to arrive. I gave him one of my cards, and he told me that he was a Fantasy reader. I began telling him about my books and music then showed him the artwork of my characters I’d put on my phone and done by my amazing artist.

The police came, I got that stupid ticket the rain caused, then man left, and then I waited for the tow truck. I had to put more coat hood up and gloves on since the temperature was dropping and I couldn’t have my heat on due to the fluid leaking from my car. I was still a bit jarred. I simply thought that it happened for a reason, so I accepted it… until a rental car couldn’t be obtained until Monday which meant Ken would have to miss work since our other car was still in the shop. That was when I began coming apart emotionally. If this happened for a reason then why weren’t things working out?

Trusting God in the midst of problems isn’t easy, no matter how long you’ve known Jesus as Savior. I’ve known Jesus as Savior since I was eight years old, and I’m forty-eight in 2020. I still felt like giving up earlier today when I kept beating myself up over the ‘what ifs’ and kept feeling worse since the wreck was my fault and Ken was going to have to miss work… my fault too. Things are always my fault when I can’t get things to work out right. Ken doesn’t agree with me, and when I keep berating myself over a failure, it hurts him. I need to pray about that and read scripture against it.

Could this have turned out worse? Yes, I could have continued fish-tailing and ended up hitting a car that killed someone. Yes, I could have not fish-tailed and hit the SUV in the middle that would have deployed the air bag that might have hurt or killed me. Yes, the fact that the airbag did not go off means that the car won’t be totaled and is actually able to be fixed. Yes, if we didn’t have comprehensive insurance none of this could be fixed at all. As upset as I am to have an almost perfect driving record ended, at least no one was hurt badly or killed, and I was able to share my faith during it.

I believed that until today when I began to feel like I was useless, worthless, and purpose-less. Do those feelings come from a woman who continues to fight an ongoing auto-immune disease that is currently in remission? Not usually, but a new fear of driving in any weather other than sunshine might. An old fear of fear of letting down the people that I love at the worst times always does. An old fear of driving in rain already has as part of the new one. So how does this accident that was personal yet not fatal show how anyone else but me can be reminded of Grace at Christmas by this?

Ask the man who I rear-ended who may be reading my book or listening to my songs and may have known Jesus and is encouraged or maybe hadn’t but finds the way to Faith. Ask the tow truck driver who was already a Jesus believer but shared the news of his recent baptism with me but didn’t know why except that I had K-Love radio on in my car. Ask those reading this right now still asking the first question but still go to look up my books, my songs, or K-Love radio just because they read this out of curiosity and yet find something else that makes Christmas become that time of Grace.

Jesus Christ was born in Bethlehem over two thousand years ago, and He was crucified when he reached the age of thirty-three-and-a-half for every single human to be given a chance to accept His sacrifice by Grace through Faith, and never something by them since it’s a Gift of God. I sometimes forget that nothing is ever about me or my abilities. Every time something happens is a possibility to show God’s Love, Mercy, and Grace. If He uses my feeble skills or words then my joy should be full even if it hurt my pride, my body, or even my record in anything. Jesus is Lord, and I am His.

This Christmas 2020 is going to be hard for so many people who have lost loved ones, the ability to give to their families due to loss of resources, and even the rights to be with those they love even if the gathering be it ever so humble before is being taken away completely. I won’t be able to do what I’d had planned for my family since our car will be in the shop, and even if we should have a rental Monday, the weather is to be snowy on Christmas Eve and I couldn’t drive in it before the accident and especially not now after the accident and in a rental. It may be a Blue Christmas for most.

Let my accident be a reminder of the Grace in Christmas! Even if things are hard and horrible for you right now, try to see the Grace of the Savior in the face of the baby in a Manger as you sing carols via skype, Facetime, or Chat. Try to reach out in a safe but meaningful way to those who are hurting or alone by using those ways too and send food to them if they can’t order it for themselves. Try to share the same kind of Grace shown at Christmas to be found at Calvary once it fills your heart with Salvation. Even if you have accidents happen later you will then find His reasons will be enough.

Beautiful star of Bethlehem, Shine On!

As we approach Christmas in 2020 with the “Christmas Star” occurring on 12/21, we should try to remember what that star meant over two thousand years ago and then what it could mean for us now. I’m not a soothsayer, theologian, or even a degree-bearing scholar (except the Technical Certificate for Webpage Development). I’m not the only Christian believer who is looking at this ‘sign’ with interest, hope, and maybe even concern since the Holy Bible states that we should be looking at the signs of the times in order to understand when the Grace Dispensation we are currently living in will almost be at a final ending. This should propel us to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ for as much time as we have!

I’m not religious. I’m a Born-Again, Spirit-Filled, Believer in the Blood of Jesus Christ as the ONLY way for my birth dealt sinful blood to be exchanged by His death on Calvary with Grace by Faith and that not of myself. It IS the Gift of God unto Salvation NOW AND FOREVER! Although a horrible and destructive Great Tribulation Period replaces the Grace Dispensation Period, it hasn’t happened yet, and Christians need to be PREACHING, SINGING, and TEACHING like never before. Our time might be limited. We don’t know if this star is a reminder or if it symbolizes something more. Do I want to go home to Heaven? YES! Do I want others to take this seriously? YES!! Do I think it’s time? Maybe…


I realize that the believers in Jesus Christ have thought this many times over the past 2000 years. This is not to ‘scare’ people into a ‘religious’ experience. This is to AWAKEN BELIEVERS to share the Gospel we already know and to help others to at least get what we already have – a Personal Relationship with Jesus Christ as Savior, the Son of God the Father and giver of God the Holy Spirit as our Comforter after shedding His blood for our sins, rising from the grave, and going to Heaven to wait until this time is over and the focus turns to Israel again. Do you see the shift already? I do! It’s been an ongoing shift for a decade or more. As a Believer for Christ, don’t you feel the stirring? Can’t you hear the whisper inside?


AWAKE! AWAKE, WARRIORS FOR CHRIST! SHARE THE GOSPEL, HEAL THE SICK, AND RAISE THE DEAD! WE ARE NOT POWERLESS! THE HOLY SPIRIT RAISED JESUS FROM THE DEAD, AND WE WERE PROMISED TO BE ABLE TO DO EVEN MORE THAN THAT IF WE SIMPLY BELIEVE IT! WE MUST ARISE! SHAKE OFF SIN’S SHACKLES! EMBRACE FREEDOM OF THE GIFTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT! AWAKEN LIKE NEVER BEFORE AND BE RELEASED! GOD IS NOT DEAD, NO, NO, HE’S STILL ALIVE! GOD IS NOT DEAD, NO, NO, HE’S STILL ALIVE! I FEEL HIM IN MY HANDS! I FEEL HIM IN MY FEET! I FEEL HIM IN MY HEART!


BOOM, BOOM! I FEEL HIM IN MY SOUL! WHEW! FEEL HIM ALL OVER ME! Isn’t that what you want? Isn’t that what you need? Isn’t that what you thirst for? Isn’t that what you hunger for? Isn’t it? I’m in tears right now LONGING for the RETURN of the ones who WANT ALL HE GAVE! It’s FREE. It’s REAL. It’s FOREVER. It’s ALL-CONSUMING FIRE! NOTHING ELSE MATTERS! You either know that you know that you know… or you don’t. If you don’t know then YOU NEED TO FIND HIM! FIND HIM IN THE FIRE. FIND HIM IN THE FLOOD. FIND HIM IN THE HOSPITAL BED. FIND HIM IN THE FUNERAL. FIND HIM IN THE BAR. FIND HIM IN THE STRIP CLUB.

YOU CAN FIND HIM WAITING FOR YOU EVERYWHERE! You just have to LOOK for the Truth of Jesus. The problem is that too many people who call themselves CHRISTIAN don’t know that they know that they know either. WE ALL NEED REVIVED! For the love of everything Holy you need REVIVED! EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US! I don’t care which denomination you are. I don’t care which preacher you claim. I don’t care which church you give to. WE ALL NEED TO BE REVIVED BY GOD ALMIGHTY! Jesus Christ gave us a mandate. Are you fulfilling it? Are you living it? I fail all the time, but as God Almighty is my witness, I AM TRYING TO REACH YOU! Don’t click away. Destiny calls.


“Father God, I come to you in the name of Jesus Christ. I believe He is Your Son who died on the cross of Calvary to pay for my sins if I will believe and confess that I do and then live my life to be His soldier of Light to this world from now on. I will try to follow what the Christian Bible states in the New Testament and study the Old Testament to show I belong to You now. Let Your Holy Spirit give what spiritual gift or gifts you wish for me to use for Your Glory. Help me to be a Light to this world in these turbulent times. Lead me in the path You already planned for me before I was born. I am Yours and You are mine! In the name of Jesus Christ, my Savior, Lord, King, and God incarnate… AMEN!”


If you have prayed this, YOU ARE SAVED! Believing is the first step. Living it is an ongoing task of daily trials, failures, and victories. It isn’t easy, but if you keep praying, reading the Bible (start with John, Romans, 1 Corinthians, and Ephesians), and listen to music that ministers – if you love rock then start with Disciple, White Heart, and Skillet; if you love contemporary then start with Mercy Me, Carmen, and Toby Mac; if you love southern gospel start with The Imperials, Hinsons, and Kingsmen. Some are gone now, but their music will live through eternity. There are many others! The styles are plentiful so find your groove to make your soul move toward Jesus more and His Purpose for you!


Andrus, Blackwood, and Company was so long ago, but I jam to “Jesus, You’re So Wonderful” all the time, and it along with the others is mostly available on iTunes. I have versions of most of these on Vinyl, Cassette, CD, and now Digital on my iPhone or computer! You can listen to my songs I wrote and then professionally recorded on my website: https://www.eirinth.com at the link FOR FREE! You can also read the Prologue through Chapter 6 for BOTH of my Fantasy Novels at that link FOR FREE too and then buy on Amazon in E-Book or Paperback! Finding a church right now is difficult, but you can listen to WGNZ radio 1110am and 104.7fm to various ministers that preach the truth you need!


Message me on Facebook if you have a question or need links that can help more. Until then, May Jesus Christ Bless You And Keep You In His Care! Look up on December 21st to see the Christmas Star!
