I haven’t written for awhile and could write many pages but suffice it to say that I have seen much spiritual growth in all of our work church members, me included. I mean spiritual growth not just knowing about the bible, as it is written, “knowledge puffs up” (1Cor. 8:1) and can be an idol in itself, and in fact is so in many Christian lives. But Sspiritual growth is Spiritual understanding coupled with the grace to be able to do that which one understands. It is more than the superficial knowledge of doctrine with an intellectual understanding. It is born by the Spirit into the spirit of a person, enlightening the darkness of the soul, that is to say the dark areas of our souls. I must make note that it appears that much of this growth seems to be happening in the many private, one on one meeting with the members as they come in and we simply discuss Jesus and the bible and our lives. Basically the same as the work church (prayer meeting) but even more personal, I suppose.
The Spirit seems to have as one of my major goals of the given ministry, where ever I am, is to transform the carnal word of God into that which is Spiritual, that is to say Sspiritual. You can know the bible but not know the Word of God; We can preach the Bible and not preach the Word of God. It is simply religion and the people become religious as opposed to being a living epistle. A Pharisee or Sadducee instead of being the New Testament.

Man, time is really flying by! We have been so busy “redoing” the house that we really don’t have too much time for anything else….cept to sneak some FB time in! LOL Kids gotta have there Frontierville time. That game is pretty kewl. About one of the only ones we play on there now! LOL

Well, our hen did hatch out her first set of chicks! They were so cute! But through misfortune we are sadly down to one baby chick left with mama. Not that mama isn’t a good mama or anything like that. She doesn’t let anyone come near her babies, she is a good mama. We just think that the babies got trampled by the other chickens. A lesson learned. And I don’t wanna say trampled as in too many chickens…when they all see a bug…they all run after it and what ever is in their way, Lord help them, including a human! LOL And I think that is what happened or has happened. And one baby drowned. Poor thing. But, like I said, we have learned our lesson and next time will be different. Mama and chicks will be set apart for at least 6 weeks til they are big enough to be with the others.

As far as everyone else, they are all growing like weeds! God has been good in that area. Thank you Lord.

As far as the house, just packing and moving things out and making it as presentable as possible. We are also gonna repaint the walls. The kitchen is gonna be a different color. The 2nd bathroom and replacing the rug in the back bedroom closet. Stuff like that. Already replaced the flooring in the laundry room. We are also gonna repaint the porch. Have put down this kewl green “fake” grass carpet on it. Looks good. I think they call it turf. Sure alot better than all those rugs hanging around it. Just stuff like that. Making it more appealing. Hopefully it will sell soon and we can move and be done with this house and get on with what the Lord would have us do.

That is all that is important now. Doing what the Lord would have us do.

This month is Devine’s Birthday, we pray they have a grat one. Happy 43 to them! We (Devine and I) used to joke that they were older than us for a few months. Funny what seemed silly then is now just a bunch of memories. Pray they are doing well and what they have always wanted.

Welp, that is it. I gues the update for the month is done. LOL That is what it seems to have become. hehe monthly updates. It’s jsut we are busy with the house and animals and not that we don’t think about writing, just by the time night comes, we are bushed! LOL

Night y’all. Have a wonderful day tomorrow.

A person wrote to me the following:

I’m curious as to how, as a professed Christian, you endorse and take part in:

1) Enochian magic (which includes, as you know, among other things, the evocation and commanding of various spirits), was based on the works of John Dee and Edward Kelley (two godless occultists), and was supported and used by Aleister Crowley (an immoral occultist) & Anton LaVey (founder of the church of Satan),

and 2) Goetia (“sorcery” in the Greek), an undoubtedly ungodly practice, which was also endorsed by Crowley. The Lesser Key Of Solomon was influenced, certainly not by the Word of God, but by Jewish kabbalists and Muslim mystics.

The Word of God is crystal clear on such things:

“When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch. Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee. Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God. For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the LORD thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.” ~Deuteronomy 18:9-14

If that were the only passage condemning occultism in its various forms, that would be enough; but far from it:

Leviticus 19:31, 20:27; 2 Kings 21:6, 23:24; 1 Chronicles 10:13-14; Isaiah 8:19, 19:3, 44:24-25, 47:12-13; Jeremiah 14:14, 27:9-10; Ezekiel 13:2-3, 6-10, 21:21-23; Micah 5:12; Acts 8:10-12; Galatians 5:19-21; Revelation 9:21, 21:8, 22:14-15.

If you claim to be a Christian and follow the Word of God, there is no absolutely no denial of the fact that what you’re involved in is unbiblical. It is pagan, it is satanic, but is cernainly not Christian, and the LORD Himself detests, condemns and prohibits these things among His people.

I’m not judging you. I’m warning you according to the Word of God, which is “profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.” ~2 Timothy 3:16-17.

These things you are involved in are abominations before the holy LORD and they aren’t only dangerous to you, but you’re endangering others by steering them away from the truth of the Lord Jesus Christ and His Word and toward things that He expressly detests.

It is the Word of God that has power (Hebrews 4:12), not the occult, which is nothing but a satanic counterfeit.

It is the Lord Jesus Christ, not magic, who delivers people from the bondages of darkness, sin and death.

“Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.” ~Colossians 1:12-20.

“I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.” ~Revelation 1:18

My reponse is:
Hi,
Thank you for your concern and letter.
The Lord Jesus came to save all people who call upon HIS name this includes those who have been cursed by Goetia and Enochian magick. As in all deliverance the forgiveness and renouncement of the curses are mandatory to exorcise the demons. The reason for the Goetia and Enochian is because I am called to it as virtually all of God’s leaders were called and practiced. I will show you only the obvious verses so that a strong twisting of the Word is the only way to escape its true meaning.
It is also apparent by your letter that you have researched this arena of magick at least a little bit. So, please hear me, no one should play or read or anything in this area unless they are specifically Called by God to do so and they better be 100% positive it is the right God, the only true God who they heard. For that is what happened to the others before us. Men who were not directed and under the supervision of the Holy Spirit took on the work in their pride and they were deceived. Thus they began to worship the heavenly host and do all the things in the verses that you sent said. Further, in some instances even those who were Called to the Work became deceived of which Solomon was an example for us. Know and fully understand that if a person goes into this arena without being Called by the Lord God Almighty he WILL be deceived and the simple act of studying such things open a major door in the person’s life and that if the Lord God does not protect them they WILL fall away into deception. As the Lord told me, not once but three times, “Son, be careful. There is a thin line between the gates of heaven and the gates of hell.” I do not know if you really understand that statement but it was one for me and I understand it. Regardless, You DO NOT PLAY with these spirits.
I am very much aware of the verses you quoted and the traditionalist understanding as the religionist have taken over the church and the seminaries. The Word of God is 100% true but men by the aide of the unclean spirits have at best turned it into a carnal doctrine as opposed to being “Spirit and truth”. For the same God that command the verses at the same time had HIS chosen people doing the magick in and by HIM.
It is written of Joseph that he was a magi:
Ge 44:5 Is not this it in which my lord drinketh, and whereby indeed he divineth? ye have done evil in so doing.
Ge 44:15 And Joseph said unto them, What deed is this that ye have done? wot ye not that such a man as I can certainly divine?
At the very least Joseph would “divine” by looking into his special silver cup. But yet, as all of the real Magi’s Joseph did it by the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit. For it is written, Ge 41:38 And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is?

And Moses was also a Magi as it is written he was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians. What was the wisdom of the Egyptians. It was the same as all the wisdom of the times, it was magick: Goetia and Enochian.
Ac 7:22 And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds.
Ex 7:11 Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.
Ex 8:19 Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh, This is the finger of God: and Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.
If you understood the magick you would understand “The finger of God” more fully. Jesus also used the exact term in Luke 11 in dealing with the religious folks. Who were suppose to know but could not due to their pride and carnal understanding of the Word.
Further, the Word of God shows us the show down between the Magi’s in Exodus but as normal it does not give us the details of how either side did what they did. The Lord only records that at a point the evil Magi’s were not able to duplicate the things that HE had Moses do.
The Lord also shows us how King David was a Magi and familiar with the works in that the Lord had Daivd write for us
Ps 49:4 I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.
Ps 78:2 I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:
What are these dark saying of the ancient? They are the words of non-babbling done in faith by the order and orders of the Living God. In more modern language it is the mighty words of holy magick. Though out the Psalms the magick is outlined for those to whom it is given to know such things.
We know of King Solomon and his wisdom and his fall. Many assume that God simply zapped him and he woke up wiser than all but that is not God’s way as a rule. OF Solomon it is also written, 1Ki 4:30 And Solomon’s wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east country, and all the wisdom of Egypt.
Solomon is known in all ancient history as the world’s greatest Magi (wise man) for he excelled in both eastern and western magick.
I have not even mentioned the functioning of the High Priest of Israel from the time that the Lord begin their ministry and their proper use of the Ephod which they always consulted. (It was the first Ouija board to put it in modern understanding.)
What shall we say about Daniel the Chief of all the wise men (the magi’s) of Babylon, not to mention his three companions, which all we also Magi according to the Word of God? We do notice a slight change during Daniels time in that now the Magick has become known as a science. This is very telling indicating to us that by this time deceived and evil man has turned faith and Holy Spirit leading into a formula, that is by the works of man as opposed of true and correct faith.
Da 1:4 Children in whom was no blemish, but well favoured, and skilful in all wisdom, and cunning in knowledge, and understanding science, and such as had ability in them to stand in the king’s palace, and whom they might teach the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans.
17 As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.
20 And in all matters of wisdom and understanding, that the king enquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers that were in all his realm.
Da 4:18 This dream I king Nebuchadnezzar have seen. Now thou, O Belteshazzar, declare the interpretation thereof, forasmuch as all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known unto me the interpretation: but thou art able; for the spirit of the holy gods is in thee.
29 Then commanded Belshazzar, and they clothed Daniel with scarlet, and put a chain of gold about his neck, and made a proclamation concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.
Should we erase from our minds and hearts that it was only the wise men (Magi’s, magicians) from the east that knew and came to the birth of God and it was them whom God gave the dream to not return the way they had come because Herod was trying to kill the Christ child. It was they who obeyed. I suggest to you that they were obviously not evil magi’s (magicians, sorcerers)
Let us recall the Lord’s warning through Paul to Timothy:

1Ti 6:20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:
We see that the art of faith was continued as a formula of man’s works, of techniques and not by Faith. True Magi are by faith and not by science thus the Lord calls it “science falsely called”. This works mentality was and is the fall of true Christians though today in the Christian world it takes a different appearance but as it was then it is now. The difference and the problem are clear if one searches the scriptures and has a personal and intimate relationship with Jesus Christ.
Since you mentioned deliverance may I ask you how many evil spirits you have expelled (cast out) that perfectly followed the biblical model? How many demons were forced to full manifestation in all their foulness? How many of these unclean spirits begged you not to cast them out and even tried to negotiate a different outcome?
It is written that we will know the real ones by their fruit. Have you given up your wife, family, friends, and even your life for the sake of Christ Jesus? True enough I am still alive but I have by grace lived through several attempts on my life with one bringing temporary blindness and another placing me in the hospital and bed ridden for a year and not being able to fully walk for almost two years. Yes, I will imitate Paul and boast as a man but in my infirmities for through it all MY GOD, the Lord Jesus Christ keep me and even today gives me the strength to carry on that HE may be glorified in me.
I ask you dear brother to not judge by appearance and tradition but to judge righteously that is by the Holy Spirit (John 7:24).
I pray that this helps you to better understand but again I warn you and all that unless you are specifically and directly told by the Lord God Almighty to even read about such things do not for it WILL be your undoing and chances are you will not even know that it has occurred. The spirits dealt with in this arena are the ones that have deceived the whole world into abominations on top of abominations.
While writing this I have decided to place it on a couple of my blogs. Simply because of the biblical doctrine that the Lord has written but they we have been blinded too, not to mention unwilling to accept. I have removed your name so that you can remain unknown. They can be found here

It’s been a while since we have last posted. Wouldn’t really say alot has gone on, but then again life has been busy.

Can you believe that it has been 5 years now since we have been here? We serve an awesome God! This month would have been 9 years for Devine. We pray they are doing well.

Last weekend was awesome, spent the entire weekend in Glenrose and went to a dino play and then to fossil rim and just spent time together. Could have done that here (spent time together) but Shane wanted a different scenery. LOL  

Life has been treating us well. The animals are thriving and the only thing we lack is selling this house!!! Once we do that we will be out from under the one thing holding us back from moving on with God’s plan. But we patiently wait on the Lord and continue to do what He would have for us. No big deal, our life is spent waiting on Him. :)

Went to the eye doc last week, or the week before now and the first eye doc messed up our exam so we got a second opinion and are now waiting for those glasses to come in. Bifocals….can you believe it?? 42 and bifocals already. LOL At least we will be able to read again! hehe stinks trying to find that happy medium in between when it is too close you can’t see and too far away you can’t see!  We do have lots of floaters in our eyes but they say that the only time we should have a concern is if we start seeing fireworks go off in our eyes then we have to immediately go and see the doc. That would not be good. In the meantime, the floaters will come and go and we will just have to put up with them. We have a astigmatism in our left eye. The doc asked us how we drive….told him well we don’t cover our right eye and drive. LOL As long as our eye isn’t covered, we don’t see double. Simple. LOL Then they shoved that card in our face and said tell me the first line you can read…we tried to pull it back so we could focus on it and he said no, I need for you to tell me what you can see with it this close to you…we told him well we already memorized the top line when we saw it before so there you have it. LOL  People are so funny sometimes.

Got tv yesterday…haven’t had it for like 3 years now? Didn’t know what to watch first so what did we watch? Wipeout! Yes, the show called wipeout! The kids love it!

Been raining here for what 3 days now on and off. Today it has been a steady rain. Hana our hotdog dog wont go outside if her feet get wet so we have to stand there and tell her to go potty or she wont. She is so funny. A dog that doesn’t like to get their feet wet….but yet has to pee is beyond me. LOL If you stand on the porch with her and say Hana go potty, she will. She must think, well, my mom is getting wet so I will go. She is something. Our neighbor called this afternoon to check on Hana cause she had never heard her make such a racket like she was….and ya know what it was? We drove up to the chicken coop with out Hana! That is all it was! She was a hootin’ and a hollarin’ all because we didn’t get her first! LOL She is such a mess but we love her to death. Wouldn’t be the same without her. Her and Sheba play and play while her and Josh just exist. Josh doesn’t play with her cause she is too small for him. LOL I tell him all the time, if you would play with her you’d feel better! He wants to play but he looks at her and it’s like he says “really?” LOL He will play with the cat and chase the cat around the house but wont Hana. He is such a nut too.

Well, we have a mama chicken sitting on 10 eggs in the cage and she seems all content and happy to be there. She was in the pen with everyone else but her eggs kept disappearing so we said next time she wants to sit on some eggs we will move her…we did and she is a happy camper. She seems content. We pray they all hatch. That would be neat. To have a chicken hatch eggs instead of us doing it. The chicks inside now are just about ready to go outside. When it stops raining, we will take them out. Don’t want them to get sick with the transition. We have 2 roos and 3 pullets. (that is 2 boys and 3 girls). How neat it is to be able to be a part of what God has in store for us. Can’t wait to move and spread “our wings”.

Welp, that be all for now. Will catch up with ya laters.

The First Prophecy Of Jesus

I am going to try and make this a brief as I can and yet still allow you to understand my opinion. But First I must also say this was the revelation of The Holy Spirit who said “That is the first prophecy of Jesus”. The short study is mine.
Note: The Rotherham version of the Bible was made as a direct word for word translation of the original Latin and Hebrew text of the bible. That is why you see so many comas etc. in the Rotherham: it is an effort to make it readable.

1 Peter 1:20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,

1 John 1:5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

John 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

(Rotherham 1902 version). Gen 1.2 Now, the earth, had become waste and wild, and darkness, was on the face of the roaring deep,—but, the Spirit of God, was brooding on the face of the waters,
V.3 And God said—Light, be, And light was

(KJV 1769 version) Genesis 1:2-5 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
V.3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. {the light from…: Heb. between the light and between the darkness}

And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. {And the evening…: Heb. And the evening was, and the morning was etc.}

(KJV 1769 version) Genesis 1.14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: {the day…: Heb. between the day and between the night}

Good and evil are represented through out the Word as light and darkness. God is Light and Jesus (being God) is light that means satan is darkness. I pray that you know

When God “created” the light (v.3 KJV) did HE actually create the light like HE did on the other days of creation, “Let there be”, or did HE do as the Rotherham suggests “Light be”. If you check the Strongs Hebrew definitions you will see that there is a subtle difference in the actual Hebrew. The Rotherham saw and translated this passage correctly. For it is not in the other Let there be’s of creation, in either the KJV or the Rotherham or the Strongs Hebrew. The point is there is a difference. Now, we come to the sudden realization that God did not create the Lights to rule the day and the night until the 4th day. What is up with this Lord? It seems that the Lord did not “create” the light in v.3. HE simply “let it be”. We see in v.2 the earth was dark and void (nothing) or that is it was covered in darkness. This darkness that covered the earth is apparently evil (I love the Rotherham version in many cases). What I believe God did was let His personal Light shine upon the earth, Jesus Christ. Which allowed HIM to create everything else. HE IS LIGHT and there is NOTHING without HIM; all things were made by Him and THROUGH HIM. If we look at the footnotes for the Hebrew {in the brackets} of Gen 1.4. We see that God divided between the light and between the darkness; not between the day and the night. This BETWEEN was HIMSELF, LIGHT. The Word is clear that they is no way for us or anything else to separate satan (evil) from man or the earth (world). Thus we have the first prophecy of Jesus (God) coming to the earth to save us.

Many believe and are taught that being Multiple (MPD: Multiple Personality Disorder, DID: Disassociative (Dissociative) Identity Disorder) is a gift from God. Sadly, this is not true. It is something that occurs as a curse as we see from Isaiah 30 below. MPD is not a safety mechanism that God has given HIS human creation. Being MPD/DID is a willful and purposeful act done by Evil Spirits and in all most every case they bring about this spiritual / soulful condition through Satanist whom are virtually always backed and then taught the deeper evil spiritual truths through the Illuminati and their various forms and groups.
Further, we see in the Word of God, the Holy Bible in Psalms 139: 13-16, specifically verses 15 and 16. That the SUBSTANCE of man was created by the fashioning in continuance; with each part being fashioned being a separate member until the end process of a single spiritual being. In short the SUBSTANCE of man is not his flesh. It is his spirit. Satan and regretfully his people know these things and purposely break the spirit into its many parts. Thus destroying that which God has made and training these Parts (Insiders, aka Alters) into workers of evil.

Isa. 30: 12 Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and rely thereon;
13 therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly in an instant.
14 And he shall break it as a potter’s vessel is broken, breaking it in pieces without sparing; so that there shall not be found among the pieces thereof a sherd wherewith to take fire from the hearth, or to dip up water out of the cistern.
15 For thus said the Lord Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength. And ye would not:
A short note on MPD in the Bible and the beginning of healing. Humans being a potters vessel: Jer. 18:4, 19:11; Rom. 9:21.
Psalms 139:13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb.
Psalms 139:14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
Psalms 139:15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
Psalms 139:16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
The above is a very brief and I pray simple biblical and spiritual truth that those interested may understand.

Teach Spiritual Things and grow into a truly spiritual world view.
1Co 3:1 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, as unto babes in Christ.
Sad, we believe that carnal is spiritual because it contains words that sound spiritual. Quoting from the bible does not mean a person is spiritual or in relationship with Jesus. We can and in fact most do study the bible from their own intellect. Often times as preachers and leaders in Christ Jesus we must speak in carnal terms, however, we should not stay in that arena. Start where the people are at then move them into the deeper truths and into the spiritual (eternal) arena. Thus when the false prophet says “Here HE is”; we will not walk in it. Being “spiritual” is not being pious as if some guru or monk. But it occurs from a personal relationship with Jesus through Holy Spirit. We must teach the church of the Holy Spirit, ensuring HIS baptism. For it is only through the Spirit of God that we can understand spiritual things. Then we as Leaders must combine spirit with our spiritual words as opposed to carnal with our spiritual words. The Lord commands use to see the invisible and to comprehend that which is Life: Eternal Life and Eternal damnation. 2Co 4:18, 1Cor. 2:11
I had a Pastor say one time: “Yes, I believe in angels and demons but do not call in people to teach in this area because my congregation is not ready for it.”
If an infant doesn’t start to walk do we leave them sitting their whole life, I ask?
This alone is not even spiritual but belief in spirits is a starting step. This cannot be just a belief, all most all say they believe but we must cross the line of believing in our heads to believing in our hearts, that is crossing the line into reality. The existence of the spiritual realm is easy for pastors to teach from the bible and there are ample true life occurrences of “Angelic encounters”, “demons”, “Haunted Houses”, “Ghosts” (i.e. human spirits), ancient and archeological data for real life believing. This list seems to me to be a good ordered list for teaching the people to move beyond the flesh and the carnal message that continues to lock them into an earthly understanding of the Bible and of spirituality. so that the devil may trick them into walking where HE is not even though they believe they have found HIM.
Do not be deceived that our view is spiritual when in fact it is carnal. The simple use of spiritually sounding words and biblical verses are not necessarily equivalent to eternal life. Buddhist, Hinduism, Satanism, and other forms witchcraft sound spiritual and in fact deal with spirits but they are carnal and for man’s pleasures of Lust.

Judges 5.11

Jud 5:10 Tell of it, ye that ride on white asses, Ye that sit on rich carpets, And ye that walk by the way.
Jud. 5:11 Far from the noise of archers, in the places of drawing water, There shall they rehearse the righteous acts of Jehovah, Even the righteous acts of his rule in Israel. Then the people of Jehovah went down to the gates.
Jud. 5:12 Awake, awake, Deborah; Awake, awake, utter a song: Arise, Barak, and lead away thy captives, thou son of Abinoam.

When taken in the spiritual world view. We know and understand that the ‘noise of archers’ represent the bitter words of devils and the arrows they shoot at us (Ps 91:3-6). In other words, the curses and the temptations that the evil spirits are placing on us, whether or not they are using other human beings to do the ‘work’ in the physical realm. We also understand that the ‘water’ represents the Holy Spirit. Drawing is the act of receiving, yet a person must exert the effort, in what ever form is needed to actually ‘draw’. Therefore, ‘places of drawing water’ is a spiritual place where a person has entered into the presence of the Holy Spirit. To rehearse is not to simply repeat as in praise but at times as we are taught by the scriptures this too should be done. The words use in this context implies that what the LORD did for them they repeat it again and again; as in doing the same thing. The next portion of the verse and sentence ensures that we understand this for these just judgements are toward the people of HIS villages in Israel. I cannot claim an understanding of ‘villages’ at this time but could it mean different life styles, denominations? The gates were the center of commerce where the major players and decisions were made. Those who sat at the gates of the city were the ‘rich and famous’, the heads of the city. To be one who sat at the city gate was an honor and those that sat there were considered wise.

We now can understand what the Lord is telling us in this particular precept and shadow. V 11:They that are delivered from the devils in the presence of the Holy Spirit, there they will repeatedly do the just judgement of the LORD as HE has done to them, even the just judgement to the people in his villages in Israel: after this, the people of the LORD will be wise and honored.

Jud. 5:11 Far from the noise of archers, in the places of drawing water, There shall they rehearse the righteous acts of Jehovah, Even the righteous acts of his rule in Israel. Then the people of Jehovah went down to the gates.

Psa. 91:5 5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, Nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

Jeremiah 51:55 Because the LORD hath spoiled Babylon, and destroyed out of her the great voice; when her waves do roar like great waters, a noise of their voice is uttered:

Isaiah 31:4 For thus hath the LORD spoken unto me, Like as the lion and the young lion roaring on his prey, when a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him, he will not be afraid of their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them: so shall the LORD of hosts come down to fight for mount Zion, and for the hill thereof.

Job 16:13 His archers compass me round about, he cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare; he poureth out my gall upon the ground.

Seems it’s been a while since we have posted. Nothing much going on….just been busy. Life has been good. The animals have been flourishing, babies are hatching, being born and right now we have a broody mama hen sitting on 7 eggs I think so on the 28thof this month we should have more chicks arriving! And we have mama (stripe as they call her) getting ready to deliver any day now in the pen!! Aint God good!! Always….even when we don’t see it! He is so good.

Been busy packing and cleaning. Hopefully when this house sells all we will have to do is find us a house and load up and go! LOL Don’t like waiting til the last moment to do things. Like to be ready. Stress is a killer and we like to avoid it as much as possible! LOL Josh and Hana are shedding like a couple of mad dogs so we are so thankful we have an awesome vacuum to pick up all their hair with! LOL You pick up hana and she leaves little tiny hairs all over you. Same with the cat, she is part dog too so she isn’t immune to whatever is going on with the dogs! LOL

Been really hot here this past week. In the 100’s this past weekend. Mostly in the high 90’s tho. Like 99! LOL That is just too much for us. We sweat like all get out. We walk outside and we have sweat running down our face! THought our thyroid was off but the test came back and it is normal…Thank God for that one! Probably just going through the “change”! Lord please hurry up with that one….we hate sweating so much! LOL

Moved the baay chicks out of the tank and into the big bird cage…they are starting to get their feathers instead of being one big fluff ball. They are so cute. Looks as tho we will have another gold and black one. That is barred rock and orpington mix. The pullet (female) that we hatched last year is so beautiful. She looks like an eagle so that is her name. Looks strong, reminds us of Isaiah 40:31 our favorite verse….

but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.

 they will soar on wings like eagles;

they will run and not grow weary,

they will walk and not faint.

AMEN!!!

The Lord will always carry us when we seem we can’t go on, as long as we do our very best in Him. And that is what we strive to do every day. Do we do all that we can every day? No. We admit that. But we try to and that is what counts. Do your best, and God will do the rest. Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord, the everlasting God, we will rise up with wings like eagles!! (We love that song!) Great worship song.

We also have been worshiping A LOT! We got the new MercyMe cd…if you haven’t heard it..you ought to! It is AWESOME!!! This life, this life was meant to shine!!!! It’s in my heart, it’s in my soul, I’ll live everyday just to make You known!  Hold your heads up high. This is our moment to rise. We were meant to shine. Not just survive.

The new CD is called The Generous Mr. Lovewell…the website for it is mrlovewell.com

It is a pretty neat read. It is not based on a person at all. It is based on loving well. Love well is all they ask. Doing something for someone out of the kindness of your heart….something that seems to be forgotten in this world (that little tidbit is from us). The scripture is: 

In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
– 1 John 4:10-11

They just want evidence that people love well. How kewl is that?? What a concept. To love others as we ought to. :)

One of our favorite songs is a really upbeat song called Move

Here are the lyrics to that song

Move by MercyMe

I’m not about to give up
Because I heard you say
There’s gonna be brighter days
There’s gonna be brighter days
I wont stop, Ill keep my head up
No, I’m not here to stay
There’s gonna be brighter days
There’s gonna be brighter days

I just might bend but wont break
As long as I can see your face

(Chorus)
When life wont play along
And right keeps going wrong
And I cant seem to find my way
I know where I am found
So I wont let it drag me down
No, I’ll keep dancing anyway

I’m gonna move (move)
I’m gonna move (move)
I’m gonna move

Ive got to hold ‘er steady
Keep my head in the game
Everything is about to change
Everything is about to change

This hurt is getting heavy
But I’m not about to cave
Everything’s about to change
There’s gonna be brighter days

I just might bend but wont break
As long as I can see your face

(Chorus)

No matter what may come
Gotta move to a different drum
No matter what life brings
Gotta move gotta move to a different beat (x2)

I just might bend but wont break
As long as I can see your face

(Chorus) x2

But then again all the songs are awesome on that CD!! All of Creation is another really good one and then there is Beautiful and the list goes on….we are humming them all day!! Amen Lord! and all of creation sing with me now
lift up your voice and lay your burden down and all of creation sing with me now fill up the heavens let His glory resound!!! (the chorus from All of Creation)

I would have to say tho that our favorite song is Free by MercyMe on that CD.  The words of that song are oh so true. Here are the words to the chorus No matter what they do, My heart belongs to you, I’m free, Oh the hands that hold the world have set me free, He has broken every chain, So I lift my hands up to the One who saves!! Amen and Amen is all we can say to that one. No matter what we will lift our hands to the One and ONLY!! Go ahead and try to destroy us and hurt us in anyway that you want, but the ONLY one that we will be praising is Jesus!! Jesus gets all the praise wether it be good or bad. Satan no longer gets anything from us. Jesus gets it all.

We have been through hell and back, and at times it seems as though we are right back in hell but the only one we look to in the hard times is Jesus. He loves us no matter what. He never leaves us nor forsakes us. HE will ALWAYS be there. NMW! And then what we have in the flesh is friends that are there too. So yeah, life is good.

Let us leave you with this thought…..

I can be there for you when it can’t get much harder
I can cover your head when life starts to rain
I can hold on tight when you feel like you’re falling
I can bread crumb the path when you’ve lost your way
I can make you laugh when the whole world is crying
I can build you up when you’re broken in shame
But if all that we do is absent of Jesus, then this so called love is completely in vain…

May everything that we do in the flesh be FULL of Jesus all the time or it is all in vain. For the Lord is our shield and buckler. Love IS Jesus or it’s not love at all. Amen.

Darkness dwelling with Light

2 Corinthians 6:14 Be not unequally yoked with unbelievers: for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion hath light with darkness?

This verse is obviously dealing with personal relationships; “BE NOT UNEQUALLY YOKED WITH UNBELIEVERS”. In other words those who truly know the Lord Jesus should not be in physical, earthly relationships with those who do not believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. Just as it is generally preached, a believer should not be married to an unbeliever and true Christians do not have as their life style friendships that do evil. This is why the words fellowship and communion are used in the rhetorical questions. Fellowship is spending time together; hanging out together as in friendship and communion is a sharing of their activities, their life style.

Verse 15 instructs us again with a rhetorical question, Does Jesus hang out with Satan (Belial)? Teaching us that even on our spiritual side we should not have fellowship with Satan.

Verse 16 in turn ties together both the physical and spiritual aspects of our problem. “And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? For ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.”
Therefore, the Lord tells us why we should get rid of all of our physical (earthly) and spiritual idols. It does not tell us that we do not have them. In fact, we do have the Light and Darkness together. That is why the Lord Holy Spirit through Paul is instructing us and the Corinthian Christians to NOT do these things, for we are HIS temple. That is why verse 17 is written “Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,” So the Lord Jesus has told these Christians to stop having Light and darkness in their physical and spiritual lives. If we do this then verse 18 comes into effect “And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.”

The Lord Jesus then continues through Paul to tell us again all he wrote above, That we as Christians must remove the darkness from our Light if we want the promises of the Lord Jesus.

Chapter 16:1 “Having therefore these promises”, the promises that the Lord is talking about is all the promises that HE has given to HIS sons and Daughters just as verse 18 (above) states. Then informs and instructs us to CLEANSE our selves. That is for CHRISTIANS to cleanse their selves from the filth of our unholy relationships in the flesh and in the spirit. (This is a form of SElf-deliverance, though it often times takes the assistance of a Deliverance Minister.)

1Cor 16:1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

It is quite clear and easily understood from the same verse and the entire passage when taken in context that the Lord Jesus is telling us just the opposite of the misinterpretation that has have been given to the church. Darkness and Light can and are in the same place at the same time and we as Christians must by the process of sanctification cleanse ourselves from darkness, which represents Satan and his demons.

We can very easily go through out the entire Word of God, from Genesis to Revelations and show that Darkness and Light does dwell together in the physical and the spiritual bodies of Christians. As it is written the Light shined OUT of the Darkness. The Light did not cast out the darkness in this case but shone OUT of it. The two are obviously together.

How did Death enter INTO Adam and Eve and the world if darkness cannot be where the Light is? Did not Adam and Eve die both physically and spiritual? Death is darkness, as it is written Satan was a murderer from the beginning. Yet, they were still CHRISTIANS in today’s sense of the word. They worshiped and gave thanks and sacrifices to the Lord Jesus. But yet they died for death remained in them as it does us.

What about Paul? Many have no difficulty in correctly saying that messengers from God are angels but they must reverse their understanding in what a messenger from Satan is in 2 Corinthians 12:7 “Wherefore, lest I should be unduly lifted up, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan, that he might buffet me, —lest I should be unduly lifted up.”
The verse clearly states exactly what the thorn in his flesh is, a messenger from Satan, a demon. The Word is absolutely clear and concise on the matter. Paul had an evil spirit in his flesh. That is in his body. Christians can obviously have demons. It is a useless argument whether the thorn is a speech impediment or if Paul was lame. That is why the word does not tell us what the fleshly result of this particular demon. It is simply telling us that Christians can and do have demons. Furthermore, we learn that the Lord Jesus has a reason for the demonization of Christians. Whether it is to led us out of sin (\\#Gen 4:27, Psa 64:6, Psa 94:20, Luk 11:36\\ or as in this case to keep us humble before HIM.

And if we look in Matthew and in Luke which is the one we will use since the 11th chapter of Luke is the deliverance chapter. Verse 36 tells us plainly that darkness and light can and does dwell together in the same body. The teachers of false doctrine want too and continuously look over the words “if” and “having no part dark”.

Luke 11:36 If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.

If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, …

The Lord Jesus clearly tells us that darkness and light can and does dwell together for it states that we are ONLY totally, wholly full of light if we have no dark parts (areas).

“as when the bright shinning of a candle doth give thee light.”

We must understand that the candle represents the spirit of man as it is written in #Pro 20:27. The shining and the actual lighting of our spirit is the work of the Lord Jesus in our life. The intensity, the brightness of our lighted candle is the direct result of us overcoming the darkness: the enemy, satan, #Psa 18:28-50.

It is by deliverance, casting off the works of darkness that we are able to put on the armor of light, #Rom 13:12. The armor of light varies in it’s intensity based upon how many areas of darkness we as individuals have in our life, #Psa 18:28, Luke 11:36.
