Come sit by me

 

“Come, sit by me” winked the spider.     Is that bread I smell, mmm? Our nose is a nose that thinks it knows.  We can smell something good, then learn it is not really good. On the other hand, we think that because something is odorless; it must be harmless. Nor is this true. We become mesmerized by the stunning effects of a waterfall that courts our heart. Boom! We get a flash flood warning.    Ah, the spider winked and seduced us.     Strangely all this can be compared with where our nation is today. Go and get your cup of joe while I try to explain.    We’ve been battling deception since Adam and Eve. The artisan of trickery will use a tiny sliver of truth, that drips like honey for a bee to seduce you into believing a falsehood.  Like Eve, the winks of beguilement begin to entice our thought life. Lies have become the meaty substance of the fractures inside of our nation.  Every country has cracks inside of its earth and when deception is believed; the breach becomes widened.    Our nation has left its first love.    We cannot miss seeing the thick wide line drawn across our earth painted with light vs darkness. One side is shouting:  “There is no god!  Because we are gods! We have all the money and that will buy us any person and all power!” These people think they are right. Consciences are compromised and become deactivated. Apologies and shame are forbidden and considered to be weak minded.    I must ask you a question.   Can you tell a good apple tree from a bad tree?  I’ve bitten into apples that are sour, sweet and indifferent, bland without any flavor.  My point is, do you have the discernment to tell the difference?    Consider how our air waves circulate the same propaganda that once strategized to generate control among the masses. This is more than mere flimflam, it is a planned evil at the highest level and it is happening again.  Like they say, history repeats itself:   “ If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”   Think. “The truth is the mortal enemy of the lie.”    Their tactic?  Perverted Repetition! You’ve just read about the sour taste of politics today.   First, let’s think about some lighthearted examples of how this could work:  If someone tells you they love you enough, eventually you are going to believe it, especially if their behavior backs up their words.  If someone tells you, that you are beautiful or good-looking enough times, eventually you will try to see what they see and believe it.  And, those can be good things. Your task is to learn the difference between flattery and a sincere compliment, discernment and time will always speak for itself.    What if you hear: “You will never be any good or amount to anything,” too many times? Sooner or later you will believe what they said was true, and eventually you could lack the confidence needed in your life to be successful.  Why? Because you will have believed a lie. “That isn’t black! It is blue! You will begin to doubt what you see.   Perverted repetition is a lie and promotes fear. We hear this all of the time, we’ve become numb to their words.  Through sales, “Hurry now, before they are all gone.” Through the words of: “What if? What if your tests come back positive?” “What if your child is in an accident. What if your son comes home wounded?”     Evil is exposed when truth uncovers the lies that cause division. They cannot hide. The shameless, refuse to accept the truth; as their spirits are dead. They are relentless in their pursuit to destroy everything good through the lies they have manufactured in their hearts. Their fear is losing control of the hook they have gained in a nation. They are energized by an anger that continues to accuse everything good that God gives. These are a people you cannot reason with, as they have ears, but do not hear the truth.   We ask ourselves, “Where is such venom coming from?”   "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.”  Ephesians 6:12, ESV:   As we live today, we are experiencing the physical influx of these vile spirits as manipulation flows through the air waves.    Below is the link to “The Big Lie” and short enough to read for those who normally do not like to read.  I firmly believe it is vital to be shared.    With this, I pray in the name of Jesus Christ that many eyes will be opened to this truth and once and for all, have the scales removed and begin to shout the alarm to all those who need to be awakened. Thank you Father amen.   Usage in Hitler's psychological profile[edit]   The phrase was also used in a report prepared during the war by the United States Office of Strategic Services in describing Hitler's psychological profile:[6] His primary rules were:    1. Never allow the public to cool off;  2. Never admit a fault or wrong;  3. Never concede that there may be some good in your enemy;  4. Never leave room for alternatives;  5. Never accept blame;  6. Concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it.[7]   The above quote appears in the report, A Psychological Analysis of Adolph Hitler: His Life and Legend, by Walter C. Langer,[7][8] which is available from the US National Archives. [9] A somewhat similar quote appears in Analysis of the Personality of Adolph Hitler: With Predictions of His Future Behaviour and Suggestions for Dealing with Him Now and After Germany's Surrender, by Henry A. Murray, October 1943[10]:   Think about this:   Never to admit a fault or wrong; never to accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time; blame that enemy for everything that goes wrong; take advantage of every opportunity to raise a political whirlwind   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_lie   Sounds like what is happening in politics today, doesn’t it? Today, if they cannot find anything wrong about a person, they simple fabricate a scandal or treason to accuse.    The truth is, “We the People”  have been lied to for a long time through the media. The big lie reaches across our nation like that of a cobweb, entrapping anyone who will believe their depraved and wicked ploys.     When a nation leaves the God it was founded upon and worships the gods of other nations, a door is opened bringing in unwanted spirits.   Elementary schools are teaching our children that it is alright to be a boy, when born a girl and to the degree of beginning injections to change their childhood bodies. Parents not only believe this lie, but encourage it.    More lies:   It is alright to marry the same sex.  It is alright to promote and applaud abortions and sell the baby parts.  It is alright to legalize pedophilia.  It is alright to allow illegals into our nation, to vote and defecate on our sidewalks. To give them free money and healthcare. To allow them to pass their own laws and for corrupt judges to allow criminals freedom, instead of justice.   Can you see what we have been given over to?     We should all be having nightmares about this, while on our knees.   It is alright to teach kindergarten and elementary children about sex education, even that of homosexual acts. Transexuals now read to children in schools and libraries.  Our children are being taught perversion, as a normal thing. This too is part of the big lie.   They took prayer and the Bible out of our schools and replaced them with handing contraceptives out to our teens, abortions and the occult.  Where were the christians during this time?   We pay to watch a movie rated PG-13 that takes God’s name in vain and curses His son Jesus. Movie watchers appear to be comatose because it is a “good” movie. Nudity has become acceptable because it is a “good” movie. Vulgarity in every way imaginable Rated R has become acceptable because it is a “good” movie. We have become desensitized and the saddest part of the whole thing are the examples our children are learning from those who compromise their integrity and have walked away from the high standards of their high calling in Christ. For what, the world?    Our teens go to “pornographic concerts” today. The “rock stars” exploit  unspeakable things on stage, while the crowds roar with delight. Everything is acceptable.    We have been fulfilling prophecy for quite a while now.   “Woe [judgement is coming] to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! Woe [judgement is coming to those who are wise in their own eyes. And clever and shrewd in their own sight!” Isaiah 4:20, 21   You have heard: “We are all God’s children.”  Think about that quote for a minute. When an earthly man procreates, yet abuses and leaves his offspring, he is only a biological sire. Dogs do that! The Bible calls him an infidel. Not everyone is God’s child. We have a Holy God who created us, but allows us to make our own decisions. We all have choices. I could run in front of a car if I so desired or jump off a cliff.  Our decisions will either form us into the likeness of Christ or the likeness of His accuser. We either stay in our sinful pride, doing things our own way or finally step down and walk under our Creator, in humbleness.    Jesus said to them, “ if God were your Father [but He is not], you would love and recognize Me, for I came from God [out of His very presence and have arrived here. For I have not even come on My own initiate [as self-appointed], but He [is the One who ]sent me.]” John 8:42 amp.  Jesus continues to say: “Why do you misunderstand what I am saying? It is because [your spiritual ears are deaf and] you are unable to hear [the truth of] My word.” vs 43.   Pride works with fear and accuses those who love the Lord.   Jesus was talking to the important religious people in that day. Though they were hypocrites and even planned His death because they feared Jesus would take over their world as King. Jesus still loved them enough to correct them and give them a choice.  “Faithful are the wounds of a friend, But the kisses of an enemy are deceitful. Proverbs 27:6   Jesus kept speaking the truth. Again, Jesus tells them who they are: “You are of your father the devil, and it is your will to practice the desires [which are characteristic] of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks what is natural to him, for he is a liar and the father of lies and half-truths.” vs 44   Lying is the accusers natural language. These people are bound by a lying spirit they cannot see. Same thing going on today.   Not one person can give something that is not inside of them to give, and we cannot expect this from them.     There is the natural or physical side of life that we can see and hear every single day, but there is also a spiritual side of those who love the Lord. There is a Holy Spirit that supernaturally awakens men’s dormant spirits to the truth of Christ so they can clearly see and understand what is going on in the spiritual realm. The beloved Holy Spirit is identified by His word “Holy.” He is Holy. Those that believe, see the goodness of God through the word of God and the activity of the true Body of Christ who are continually growing and transforming in His love by practicing this truth towards God and others. These people strive to serve, give, encourage, preach, teach, be merciful, pray, comfort and prophesy all with the true love of Christ. Jesus Christ is the head and we are His Body.  With the grace given to them, they pull upon their faith when faced with trials and together, The Holy Spirit continues to walk them through, teaching them; from lesson to lesson.    How you ask? Believers depend upon the strength of The Holy Spirit to see them through their trials. They can see where God has brought them from, up and out of the pit they were once bound.    “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9.   The other side that coincides with the great lie, are the unholy spirits. These are enmities who love the works of darkness more than truth. They seem tireless and will go to great lengths to avoid all truth and accuse those who love the Lord and are speaking the truth. Why? Because the truth of the gospel is a light that exposes everything in their lives. Jesus came to bring light and truth. Today, His word still exposes sin. Search the scriptures for yourselves. A lie can come through a seducing spirit that is disguised as something good. Think about the spider winking at you.   The Holy Spirit will give life to all those who believe in Jesus Christ. The opposition promotes lies.    The Holy Spirit begins a healing in your life through Jesus. The opposition enlarges your wounds.   The Holy Spirit brings hope.  The opposition takes away.     “Come unto me, all of you who labor and are forced to bear burdens, and I shall give you rest.” Mt. 11:28   “Jesus answered, I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6 Aram.

One Breath Away

 For those who have been running from God. It is time for you to stop and run toward Him, 

Little do you realize how God is waiting for You to come back, return or for the first time confess your wrongs and sins and believe that Jesus is Lord. I use to think that I had to clean up my life before I returned to the God of my childhood. But that isn't the way He works. He wants you to come to him exactly the way you are. You might think: "But you don't know what I have done" "You don't know just how wicked I am." I say to you that doesn't matter. Right now you confess your sins to our Father and ask Jesus into your life and HE begins to clean you up immediately. But you must believe this. "For by GRACE you are save through faith, not by works lest anyone would boast. " God is offering you His free gift to you if you are reading these words. And, when you pray. You will receive the miracle of never being a slave to sin again! I can fully attest to this. You become a new creature in Christ! All the old goes away. But you must believe His words are true and faithful. Jesus is the only one who will never let you down. Repentance is not a bad word. His Holy Spirit will bring you through everything and never let you down. 

Pray with me now. Heavenly Father, I know I have sinned. Confess your sins______________. Please 

forgive me and come into my life. I need help Lord. Bring me through this captivity and set me free. I put

all my trust in You Father. In Jesus name I ask, Amen.

If you have prayed that prayer, find a good Bible Believing church and pick up a good Bible. Welcome

into the Body of Christ. You are loved! 

Morning Prayer

 Heavenly Father,

We thank you for Your goodness in our lives, Your direction, Your protection and most important Your continual love. Thank You for the small things as well as the larger things. We know You care for everything that happens to us. We understand that the sufferings that we go through and the grief we also go through is for us to be drawn even closer to You, Your word and ways. For we are a soul, and You have given us a body. And we ask that Your Holy Spirit continue to teach us how to love while we are here. Right now, we put down all selfishness and any preconceived self-righteous ideas we may have developed along the way. Anything in our lives that come against Your grace we will nullify. Remind us to honor you from our soul, our spirit, mind and our bodies. We ask that You heal those who have a need and are reading this prayer. Shrink what needs to be shrunk in their bodies and enlarge what needs to fight against the enemy. Your word tells us to Ask and it will be given to us. Seek and we will find and to Knock and the doors will be opened. We believe in Your Word Father and stand upon all of Your promises. Your Son Jesus said, "No man can come to me except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. You continue to say "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. I am the bread of life. " We believe Lord. Give those who are reading this word, Your bread Lord. Open up their eyes and ears. Your Son said, "I am the resurrection, and the life; he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die."  Father, we choose to believe. We choose life. Come into our hearts, our lives and change us. Thank You Father and we lift this prayer up in the name of Jesus. Amen.  

They called him great!

  haven't been in here for quite a while because I was busy flying back and forth to California where my son was. The non-Hodkins T-cell 1 lymphoma that Scott had was the rapid growing one. It seemed nothing would kill it. It was wrapped around his heart and trachea like that of a large cantaloupe [the Drs said]. We prayed and prayed and had all kinds of people praying for him all over the world. Countless of times in between trips I would cry myself to sleep, begging God to heal him and I even thought of trying to make a deal with God. I know better. I knew I was losing him. He was my baby and we all had plans. He married a lovely girl named Grace who also has cancer. But here again we are all praying and believing she will be healed. I asked myself why? Why did God take him of all people. He was a health guru and always ate organic things and never drank anything that wasn't pure. He lifted weights and was a natural athlete. Everyone loved Scott. None of us were there when he passed. His wife ran out for only 30 min, and he transitioned over into the presence of God.  His viewing and funeral had hundreds of his friends, and they all lined up to hug me or shake my hand thanking me for raising such a great man. I knew the inner man of Scott, the little boy and there are some days when all I do is cry. His birthday is on the 26th of this month. He had a military funeral because he did tours in the middle east [USMC]. His friends tell me that he had trophies at his work place when he won in golf, but he never told anyone. He had a Masters in Business but again he never mentioned it. He had many accomplishments during his short life but never mentioned it and this is what made him great. He was humble, very humble.  I have tried to reason as to why this happened, but the only answer I can get is that it was his time. I still see him as my little boy and he was so cute! How I miss him! He loved beyond what we are commanded. He always went out of his way to help someone with their health and gave them tips he had learned.   As I think on a bit, I am thankful he didn't end up in a wheelchair after returning from the war in the middle east. I am also thankful he wasn't burned and had to have hundreds of operations or in a bad car wreck or came home without legs or arms as I know many families who are struggling with these things.  I know that someday I will go to him and other members of my family and friends. Him passing will not rock my faith because I know where he is at, and he is in a much better place than this cursed earth. 

Scott I will forever love you and miss you so much!

Love,

Mom

Love is more than a Conqueror!

 Do you believe in miracles? Prayer? Perfect love?

When you think about it, the awe-inspiring fact how God is Spirit and He is love begins to wash away many questions we may have in our hearts. Since He is a Spirit and Love, we are to allow His Holy Spirit to dominate our heart, mind, soul, and strength. This is why Jesus kept saying, “Love one another.” When we respond to His Spirit of love that is given to us, God teaches us how to be united with faith when we pray. His Spirit is linked with ours and we really can do all things in Him that strengthens us! God’s love, faith, truth, and Spirit bring power. And, to think His Spirit of Love is inside of us!

What am I talking about, you might ask? Ask yourself when you pray if you are praying in love and faith? Are we praying in the Holy Spirit and motivated by His love that is inside of us?  Or, when we pray is it just a bunch of words that come out that we do not think about?

Too many decisions are based upon fear instead of faith and love. I have done it and if you think about it, you have too.  If you lose a friend because of the honesty you spoke, chances are they weren’t really your friend in the first place. One of the truths you can count upon in your life is that your words of honesty, truth and love will all be tested. God’s word never returns void.  When someone says, “I love you,” those words will be tested time and again by the giver and the receiver.  We don’t think about it at the time, but sooner or later our words will go through the fire to see exactly what they are made of, steel or stubble? If you are a student of the Bible, you will grow into knowing every time you are tested. Remember one thing during this writing, the enemy will always lie to us because the truth is not in him to give. He cannot give something that he doesn’t have. No one can. I have learned that if I wait just a little bit longer, my answer will come. If I drive around that mountain just a little bit further, I will find my destination. And, if I persevere and have the patience needed to get through my first line of defense, I will make it. God requires us to trust in Him and have patience because it works with His love. This isn’t an easy task because while He is telling us to wait, our fleshly desires seem to be on fire to go and do it all for ourselves. The last time I looked we still had McDonalds, Wendy’s, and KFC along with so many others. Like a spoiled child, we want it all now. Isn’t it interesting that anything we eat that was cooked in deep fat isn’t good for us. Weren’t we raised with this? Why now? What is happening to us now? I believe it must be sanctification [holiness].  You must admit we learn the most when we are in the valleys.

I believe that our Father uses the “suddenlies” in our lives to wake us up from our apathetic slumbers at times.

I woke up this morning with these words on my mouth, “Truth is.” I thought, what is truth? I am laying there thinking about how wonderful God’s truth is. Then after asking God these words started to come to me. Truth is the application of God’s principles given by the Holy Spirit within His perfect and pure love of Jesus. Truth is a privileged gift to us. Truth is a gift of grace to those of us who believe. Jesus is in me as I am in Him because the Kingdom of God is within me. It is the explicit and pure will of God that connects us to the process of holiness.  If God’s will be involved in your prayers, though the mountains may shake and the oceans roar, illness could come, and your love for Him be mightily tested; there is nothing on earth to be compared to the power of truth. Truth presented in His powerful Agape love, heals because He is the healer.

“Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and His worshipers must worship in Spirit and in Truth.” John 4:23-24 NIV

Many of us have trouble worshiping God in Spirit and Truth because God is a Spirit, and He is love. We are told to love one another. When we are truly walking in the Spirit, we are walking in His Agape love. When we are truly walking in love [Spirit], we are walking in His power. Love and faith are coupled inside of God’s Spirit and truth. This is why Jesus kept saying “Love one another.”  He knew there was power in those words. Every person that Jesus healed when He walked on the earth was through the power of love, [God’s Spirit]. And the only way any of us can worship Him in Spirit and Truth is to allow His Agape Love inside of us to takeover.

Today, more than any other time in my lifetime The Holy Spirit is aligning the consciences of believers to be holy and sensitive to His voice. If you begin to ignore your conscience it begins to look like a rabbit ear on the top of the corner of your page. Each time you ignore what your conscience is saying that rabbit ear becomes a little bit less secure and worn being bent over until one day, too weak to hold on, it just drops off the page. This is how our conscience becomes dulled and deadened. No longer do you hear what God is saying and it is all because of sin. When we do not love, we sin.

God is calling His people to respond to repentance.

Rd. Romans 2:1-4. The goodness of God leadeth to repentance.” Ro. 2:4

 I picture God’s Army strong in Him. They are a people who refuse to give into overblown vain imaginations. They are those who can discern but refuse to judge. I ask you, should you judge another without understanding? Have you gone to him/her and asked for an explanation? Wrote a letter? And didn’t Jesus Himself tell us not to judge? Because if we do, it will come back to us in the same measure. And, when we speak heresy about a brother or sister, cannot you see that we are speaking a prophetic utterance against ourselves? Why do we not fear the God of the universes? Over and over, I see this happen in the Bible. Those who are jealous, for want of control or power begin to speak against God’s anointed then, what they spoke begins to fall upon their own heads. I think about the Israelites in the desert, Korah and his men, the Book of Esther and so many more! Surely, this is why I see so many denominations, so many church buildings in a block and so many declaring they have the truth. Remember the truth is always linked with God’s Spirit [love].  There are disagreements, they break off and split and before you know it, another church has sprung up. Church! This is what the world sees in us, and it is not love! No wonder the body of Christ doesn’t have many healings, it is because they have little love.

“Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven-for she loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little. The Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.” Lu.7:47-48 NIV

We can skirt around the different verses we do not want to accept, but they won’t go away. We can change them to fit our flesh, but that doesn’t work either. And if we do not understand something that our brother or sister does; pray about it and love them anyway. Jesus never asked us to do something we couldn’t do.

“Life and death are still in the power of the tongue.” and “For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat.” Ro. 14:10 b

Let’s pray:

Heavenly Father,

You are our great and marvelous teacher, and we thank You for giving us insight into your healings and power and Into Your Spirit and Truth. You never leave us, thank You Father. Forgive our shortsightedness, lack of faith and even taking Your word for granted. Forgive us for skipping over the verses we do not understand or even saying it was for back then, but not for today. Forgive us for not accepting what your words tell us.  Forgive us for judging those we do not understand or assuming that we know when we do not. Forgive us for not accepting others in their beliefs. Give us an open heart and bring unity to your Body of Christ. Father, Your word says that no one can come to You but through Jesus Christ. We accept this and stand upon it. We ask that You saturate our souls, minds, hearts, and strength with Your love; for You have taught us when we love others we are healed in Spirit and Truth in the name of Your Son Jesus Christ. Amen.
