Man

Man The Things people say!

I was going to a church and part of the choir; I came in late to practice due to work with a migraine headache. I asked the leader for prayer, he said you were not here for what I just told the other. He said according to him that the lord said we were to ask each other for prayer as we may not always be together. Another pastor’s wife told me i was not to be fleecing – looking for signs when we prayed. As I told her i I had used the way Gideon taught us to pray and it got the results.
First of all not praying is a trick of the devil as, the bible clearly states we are to pray one for another and where two or three are gathered together, we are to intercede for each other.. This just caused confusion and made a little angry. God is not the author of Confusion.
Also we are a body- and doesn’t the body know when something is wrong with one of its parts like in the natural? We do not have to be in the physical presence of other believes – he knows no distance. I was going through a real rough time and was new to an area and 80 miles from home- turned on the internet and i was getting invites from prayer groups I did not know existed or a Christian would call.
Not pray baloney!
Prayer is the key
Remember these three things – when you hear a “word” I does it speak of god, does it go along with the scriptures and confirm in your hear- does it bring peace or anger and confusion.
Do not choke your lifeline to Christ and the Holy Spirit

Letter From Heaven

My Precious Children,

My love and devotion for you is as strong as my love and devotion to my father. In my word, I gave you many examples of my feelings for my father. My teachings such as my being the Vine and he the husbandman for one. I also taught you when you have seen me you‘ve seen the father. Many examples showed you the characteristics of the kingdom and the father. My devotion was further shown, when I taught you to pray by honoring him. My most important acts were when I left his side in obedience to come down to walk among you and go to the cross for you even when I asked him to take the cup from me – I said not my will but yours.

My greatest desire is to see you learn devotion to him and reflect it by your love for me. To learn this kind of devotion while here on earth is to pray, read your bible, worship and fellowship one with another. Nurture your Christian family relationship, as it is so important for your strength and growth. My father and I desire a close relationship with you and when that is accomplished, the effects will spill out to your natural family relationships. When you start treating them with love, dignity, and respect and are getting along in peace will you finally realize just how important your relationship is to us. This has to be set in place before you ever go out and try to win back my lost sheep, because they will see no difference if you don’t.

Next, spread my love out to the world showing them the love, peace, gentleness, goodness, meekness. The trick to thinking of others first is to get self and family matters out of the way because it take the focus off me and puts it right square on you. Be real and honest with them, as I want you to be with us. The world can spot a hypocrite a mile away. Help my hurting and needy lost children. Love them willingly with out judging because remember you were once that way when I found you. Do not be quick to judge, lest you be judged in the same manner.

Use all the armor and weapons I have taught you, and stand tall, and be ready for battle, as this is a war in the spirit and we are after souls. Use my scripture against him and he will flee form you. Call on me in your need or in any time and I will be there to assist you and the battle is not yours but mine. My angels stand ready to battle for you call on them and they will come. The rewards are few done here but when you get up here with me, is a different story.

Once your battle is over, and you have come home, you will find out just how worth it all it was to go through this process. I want all of you here with me- not just afew but all my children. I want heaven full and hell empty. I want to meet you and walk by your side for eternity. The rewards will be so great because I will get a chance to pour out my love in full to you continually for eternity. No human pain, tear or such will be there all will be new.

Stay the course my children, It is worth it all,

With greater love than you can Imagine,

Jesus Christ

Spirit of Jealousy – reprinted with permission

Spirit of Jealousy
Numbers 5:30

1. Jealousy-A jealous attitude or disposition.
2. Close vigilance

The spirit of jealousy is a demonic stronghold that the enemy sends against mankind. This spirit stronghold is evil and deadly. It manifests itself in the personality of people. I am going to list below common manifestations associated with this spirit.

We need to examine ourselves and if any of these things are manifesting in our lives we need to go after the strongman which is the spirit of jealousy. I am going to list some scriptures that will come against this strongman and by faith with applying the word of God this spirit will be destroyed.
Spirit of jealousy manifestations- accusations, anger, argumentative nature, backbiting, belittling, bickering, bitterness, blasphemy, causing divisions, coarse jesting, competition, contention, covetousness, criticism, cruelty, cursing, deception, destruction, discontent, disputes, dissatisfaction, distrust, enmity, envy, factious, faultfinding, fighting, gossip, greed, hardness of heart, hatred, hurt, inability to cry, insecurity, judging, kleptomania, lying, malice, materialism, mocking, murder, quarreling, rage, railing accusations, restlessness, retaliation, revenge, sadism, self-centeredness, self-hatred, selfishness, spite, stealing, strife, suicide, suspicion, temper, unforgiveness, unworthiness, violence.

This is an exhaustive list of manifestations that are birthed from the spirit of jealousy.

Matthew 12:28-”But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.
Matthew 12:29-Or else how can one enter into a strong man’s house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? Or else how can one enter into a strong man’s house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house, and then he will spoil his house.

Mark 16:17-(GWT) These are the miraculous signs that will accompany believers: They will use the power and authority of my name to force demons out of people. They will speak new languages.
(KJV)- And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

As believers we have power over all the works of the enemy. Jesus said it and I believe!!
Luke 10:19-(KJV) Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

The spirit of jealousy is a demonic foe and must be dealt with according to the word of God. I know there are many more scriptures that will suffice this. Go to the word and search it out. We must apply the word daily to our lives. Satan is very subtle and he will whisper in our ear saying we’re alright when these things are manifesting in our lives. Satan is a liar and he is the father of all lies. He is a deceiver! The Holy Spirit will shine the light on all deceptions which are lies from Satan.
Remember Repentance Is Still The Order Of The Day.

Interesting Reading

A RELIGIOUS SPIRIT This spirit is also known as the spirit of Jezebel. This spirit promotes doctrines that are not the truth. They are false teachers that mislead others away from the Truth of The Bible. A spiritually immature Christian who does not know the Bible can be easily trapped into following after false doctrines. A person with a religious spirit cannot humble themselves or be submission to those who are their elders in the Body of Christ. The Bible exalts Christians to have humility and meekness towards each other and be in submission to each other, especially and foremost to God. For God resists the proud, but gives grace and favour to the humble and those who are obedient. A person who is deceived by a religious spirit can also be tied up with legalism and superstition and are not free in the freedom from the Law that Christ bought for all to share in The New Covenant.

Christ opposed legalism and hyprocrisy. These people are usually strong willed, arrogant, always believe that they are right. They struggle to oppose God, whether they know it or not. They are rebellious, subtle, discriminating, selfish, proud, selfrighteous, insolent, overbearing, disdainful, presumptuous, boastful, frustrate others and bring division more than restoration, healing and reconciling. They are a people who love themselves, love money, are boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to the Word of God, unholy, without love, not lovers of good, having a form of godliness but denying the power and are lovers of pleasure. Compromising can be found amongst these people, according to their own standards, for a religious spirit is rebellious to God, authority, of elders, and sadly pride of youngsters gets in the way of learning. They corrupt the doctrine of God, undermining their loyalty to God by promoting tolerance toward pagan practises, including idols, lust and sexual immorality.

The religious spirit leads people to pursue liberal doctrines for the wrong motives. It can be of human origin, and lacks faithfulness to Christ’s teaching. Standards of righteous conduct are principles that are kept in obedience to God’s Word, in the case of a religious spirit, the person allows those to be a stronger influence than a godly influence, and become judgmental and hypercritical, thinking that they are virtuous when they are not, they defiantly lack honour because of ignorance. The Religious Spirit follows and teaches doctrines that are valueless. There is prejudice due to an attitude of superiority, usually based on false assumptions about people’s behaviour. Presumption is unacceptable in God’s principles. God is not prejudiced. God is not prejudiced.

Those who are truly led by The Holy Spirit will always look for ways to help rather than standing aloof and criticising. The gentleness of The Holy Spirit encourages and does not condemn and crumple the inner persistence of a believer.

The religious spirit instructs on beliefs that are contrary to The Word of God, and encourage others to compromise God’s standards. Many people are unaware that they compromise the principles of God. This spirit promotes pagan religions and spiritual adultery, unbiblical teaching, the tendency to be able to tolerate sin and unrighteousness. People with a religious spirit persecute those who stay with The Word of God, searching the scriptures and studying the Truths of God’s Word. They claim to ‘speak for God’ and have influence and a form of success both in the Body of Christ and to those who take pleasure in worldly matters. The strategy of the religious spirit is to keep Christians focused on evil and away from the Glory of God, through Christ.

 This evil spirit has done much damage to The Body of Christ for it does not add life and power, but division and destruction. Upon making spiritually immature Christians self-righteous and proud, the followers then assume that they already know God’s opinion in almost every area. This is a big delusion. The Church needs to continually confront this powerful deception that can cancel the true power of the True Gospel because of these assumptions. The religious spirit was the primary characteristic of the Pharisees of Jesus’ day, as they focused on what was wrong with others being blind to their own faults. Even though this problem was operating then, it still continues to be in force today, conflicting with the true Work of The Holy Spirit. The people have a zeal, but not in accordance with biblical knowledge, and are in reality in opposition to the teachings of Jesus.

They glory in their own zeal for God, this is the snare of the enemy. Cults and false religions are easily discernible, but the religious spirit still remains to do harm in the Body of Christ, it seeks after popularity and seeks out believers to serve The Lord for approval, rather than through the Work of Christ on the Cross. They become unteachable and will use anything in an attempt not to be confronted. If pride is addressed, insecurity and fleshly excuses are there to attract sympathy in defence, this is self-righteousness acting as a deceptive faith, giving an appearance of wisdom, but it is a fleshly minded knowledge. Pride is a great evil. To be godly, pride has to be rejected. Pride leads to other forms of evil, spiritual blindness, a hardened heart, contempt for others, injustice, quarrelling and can become malicious.

The Gifts of The Spirit can only operate in love, so gifts that are used by a religious spirit is false spiritual perception. Also this spirit is much more focused on the earthly realm than the heavenly realm and the attitudes and motives are in opposition to the teachings of Jesus. Jesus called these people who were preoccupied with their own recognition, blind guides. The true fruit of revelation will be humility, not pride.

 The motivation of The Holy Spirit is love for The Son of God. Some obvious signs of a religious spirit: -unable to take correction from others -will not listen to others but only ‘to God’ -see the wrong in churches, and not notice what is right -be repulsed by emotionalism to God, forgetting that King David was the most emotional and impassioned for God out of all others, a man after God’s own heart -tries to recognise it in others while over-looking it in themselves. With humbleness, meekness and repentance to God, The love of The Holy Spirit will take over the judgement, pride and self righteousness.

SCRIPTURES Matthew 16:6, Revelation 2:20, Colossians 2:2-8, 18, 19, James 4:6. QUESTIONS 1] What does a religious spirit promote? 2] Should people compromise The Word of God? 3] What is the fruit of reconciliation? 4] How can The Holy Spirit overcome judgement, pride, and self-righteousness in believers?

Healing is still going on

taken 5/12/2009

taken RIGHT AFTER DIVORCE IN 05 AND BEFORE CHEMO

THE LORD IS NUMBER ONE IN MY LIFE AS HE HAS BROUGHT ME THROUGH A HARD PLACE LAST YEAR. IN JUNE 07, I WENT INTO ER WITH A HEADACHE THAT WOULD NOT QUIT- THEY RAN TESTS AND FOUND A MASS AT THE BASE OF MY SKULL-THAT WAS BLOCKING THE SPINAL FLUID FROM DRAINING- THEY REMOVED IT (NOT CANCER) BUT AT THE SAME TIME, DUE TO A FAMILY GENETIC PROBLEM-THEY FOUND CANCER IN BOTH BREASTS.PRAYER WAS GIVEN AND NO SHUNT WAS PUT INTO THE BRAIN BUT 4 DAYS AFTER SURGERY- I STARTED HAVING BALANCE ISSUES AND NOT KEEPING AND FOOD OR LIQUIDS DOWN. THIS WENT ON FOR 2 WEEKS AND THEN A TUBE FEEDING AND DRAINAGE TUBE WAS PUT IN- AND STILL LOST TO 142LBS- WAY TO LIGHT FOR A 6 FT TALL WOMAN. TWO WEEKS LATER- I STOOD UP IN THERAPY AND THE WHOLE TUBE FEEDING FELL OUT OF MY STOMACH- IT WAS LEFT OUT AND I PUT ON 30 LB IN 2 WEEKS- AS FOR WALKING- WENT FROM WALKER TO NO SUPPORTAT ALL IN WEEKS…THE NURSING HOME CALLED ME THEIR MIRACLE CASE AS I WAS ALMOST DEAD WHEN I WAS PUT IN THERE.’
THE CANCER SURGERY TOOK PLACE IN JULY(THEY GOT IT ALL) AND HAD TO GO THRU CHEMO AND RADIATION. OH THE DRAINAGE TUBE WENT BAD AS WELL. THERE IS MD’S -SURGEON AND ONCOLOGIST AS WELL AS NURSING HOME TO BACK THIS UP.

When I was 7 – I bit a electric cord- the resulting burn was so bad
doctors said I’d never smile again on that side of my face- prayer
was given. My mother said – one night I laughed so hard I turned
blue and both sides went up. Don’t remember what was so funny.
Both sides went up and are still going up. The scar healed so
small that it looks to be part of my dimple- (cousin did same thing
and did not heal like that). Graduation picture- mother tried to get
it airbrushed out of it. I noticed that they had did the wrong side
and pointed it out with the comment’, ” Mom- I have a hole in my
head where there wasn’t one before!” She looked and said you
are right!

When I was 9- I was knocked off the top of the slide and hit
concrete causing seizures. Prayer again was given and twelve
years went by. Right before my 22 birthday, I went up for prayer
for a headache and the evangelist said lord heal her of the
nervous condition as well. Things began to happen on a monthly
basis- physically- that the doctor’s said would mess up my
dilantin levels. I was taking 400 mg of dialntin and 60 of
phenobarbital on a day-to day basis. I was clasified petit mal
epilepsy but had the grand -mal seizures.January 4, 1983- I was wanting the healing so bad- I said not my will but yours and rolled over and went to sleep -crying. During the night- the holy spirit shot thru me and i rolled over to see the form of a man leaving the room. There is no way anyone could get to this room except thru father- (6 ’2). January 11, 1983- I was put into hospital for brain -wave tests
and the pastor stopped in prayed and said the holy spirit was at
work in the room… thre seconds later after the pastor left- in
walked the neurologist – you are normal -you are going off the
medications. He still remembers the case. almost thirty years
later. I came over the end of the bed and called parents – you should
have heard the shouts. At the same time, they found out my left
kidney had been backed up and floating since birth- prayer was
given- talked abiout major surgery-stint and all—- they dialated
the urter and it has been fine ever since. a person that just wants
to be a vessel for the lord. Isn’t god good??
PSALMS 23 MEANS A WHOLE LOT TO ME AS WELL AS
FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND. PRAISE THE LORD!

Butterfly Wings in Honor of Mom

Motherhood is a precious and fragile as the fragile butterfly wings. It’s time is so short. Treat it lovingly and reverently, or it will disappear as the beautiful butterfly does.
Protect it and nurture it, allowing it to bless others … Instead of hurting others  and forgotten like the caterpillar is . Which do you want to be remembered with love or hated?
the choice is yours…you never know what you have until you lose it.

The Mighty Eagle

The eagle lives a solitary life with its mate for life- off in pairs- so high up in the trees.
God has been readying his eagles for a time such as now.
He has been communing and ministering to and with them- strengthening them for battle. In the quiet times , he has watched them grow into mighty eagles.

He has been calling them now out of seclusion and massing them together for battle, further arming them.

We are his mighty eagles, getting ready to come out of our nests. We shall mount up with wings as eagles, run and not be weary and walk and not faint.

Our calling is taking us higher, just as the eagles soar higher than the naked eye can see, but yet be useful here on earth.

Our calling is to be his voice and point the way.

It is time to fly Mighty eagles, as time is so short ! Prepare us and arm us well for the battle

Sneak Previews

The Ten Plagues affected an entire nation because of one man’s sin, signaling the freedom and life for my children. A preview of my coming power.

The Vials of wrath will affect all nations because of all man’s sin, bringing death and destruction. Foretold judgment for all mankind

The Red Sea parting was a glimpse of my power, showing a way of escape and ultimate destruction of their enemy. I have provided a way of escape from sin’s death- my son . His death brought you the escape and protection from satan’s final judgement- eternal life with out me.

Euphrates drying up, is my full power released, allowing my enemies to cross as – she is holding them back right now. They will be allowed in to face ultimate destruction at my hands.

All the diverse weather happening today- tornados etc in wrong areas . Weather in wrong places and wrong time- Their severity is but a small taste of what is to come during the tribulation.

Man isn’t it time we pay attention to what the earth is trying to tell us? The sneak previews are bad enough. Do you want life or destruction? It is your choice

We expereince death now- but during the tribulation, they will cry out for death and it will not come

From Pearls to Roses-Life is never easy

What are Pearls Made of?

Pearls are formed when a piece of sand or other irritant wounds the oyster or clam. It secretes a substance that over the years and many layers harden into a beautiful, costly pearl.

Which do you want to be – the irritant or the beautiful pearl? God sees us as more priceless than the costly pearl. Oh for his vision!

The more costly pearls are formed at deeper depths. God sends pearls into our lives via tears by family, friends and situations. If we did not cry getting us through the wounds, we would not grow and learn. How costly a pearl are you going to be?

Thorns

My children, you may be tempted to be bitter and complain about the situations or places I place you in, but remember my children, even the most beautiful of roses has their thorns. To get to the beauty you have to grow thru stages and thorns, learning and perfecting your walk, such as the case remember the three Hebrew children thrown in the fire?  I was with them and brought them out as gold. To be the most beautiful and fragrant of roses – go thru the thorns and dry spells.
Bloom where you are planted.

 
Roses

A roses’s beauty opens and is fragrant over a short time, pleasing a few that see it – then fades. God’s love is like a rose – opening and slowly over time getting sweeter, more fragrant and more beautiful as is opens. It pleases countless many that see it never fading. Which rose do you want?

What Am I To You?

You celebrate my birth and resurrection- but what do you do with me the rest of the year, am I put up on a dusty old shelf like a bible and pulled out only when you need me? I am here year round for you and want your love and worship year round. I appreciate your praise on my birth and resurrection- but I am a jealous god – what are you putting ahead of me? It grieves me when I am ignored- Just like it would you.

I  AM A YEAR ROUND GOD!
