By the Word of our Testimony
7
And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon;
and the dragon fought and his angels,
8
And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
9
And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and
Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his
angels were cast out with him.
We
have been discussing principalities and powers and the rulers of the darkness
of this world and spiritual wickedness in high places. We have also been
discovering our ability to overcome them by walking as a follower of Yeshua,
Jesus, seeking to walk as He did in purity, perfection and holiness. Further we
have been discussing that even though the rulers of darkness display great
power and manifest great signs and wonders, that we do not have to be
debilitated by fear. We do not have to suffer paralysis. By our faith, works,
and through obedience to the almighty creator we become endowed with power from
on high to defeat the enemy and have the victory in every battle. This is
inclusive of the battles fought in the natural realm as well as the spiritual.
I
remember once, led by the Holy Spirit, I was instructed to teach the men in our
congregation that the most powerful battle stance for the follower of Jesus to
assume was, like Him, on our knees in prayer. I believe this to be true. The
success of this is well established in me in accordance with my own testimony.
That’s one of the wonderful things about testimony. Over time your testimony
fills you with knowledge and experiences that cannot be taken from you. You
develop an inner witness that no spirit or person can effectively dispute. It
is yours.
When
we read scripture about how Michael and his angels defeated the devil and his angels,
we find that there is a three-part battle plan or strategy they used while
defeating them. We see this in,
Revelations
12:10-11
10
And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength,
and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our
brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
11
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their
testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
Here
in verse eleven, we find the powerful strategy every follower of Jesus should
adopt and have in their knowledge base when it comes to warfare. This is
warfare in the natural and in the spiritual realm.
By
the blood of the Lamb. You must discover, have faith, and walk in the knowledge
of the fact that Jesus, the Lamb of God, gave His life for you as a holy
sacrifice. He shed His blood for all of His sheep. His sheep are those who make
the choice to follow Him and obey all He commands. This He did so that His
sheep would have an avenue to be forgiven and freed from sinning, and the
everlasting curse and death that surely follows continual sin. He did this so
His sheep would have an avenue to the Father in heaven. He did this so that we
would have life more abundant in this life and in eternity.
The
word of their testimony. The holy angels developed a testimony. They grew to
know the goodness of God. They saw the pain of separation from the source of
life that comes with rebellion and wickedness that was exhibited by the fallen
and their interactions and observance of mankind. They live in the result of
their humility, obedience, righteousness, love and faithfulness to our heavenly
Father. They know the result of disobedience and betrayal. It is essential for we as believers and
followers to develop a testimony. Be courageous, have faith, ask, ye shall
receive, seek and ye shall find and knock and watch doors open to you. Draw nigh
unto God He will draw close to you. Jesus promised this,
John
14:20-21
20
At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
21
He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he
that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will
manifest myself to him.
Once
the kingdom of heaven begins to manifest itself to you in a tangible way you
desire to experience more. If you are like me, it lights a fire in you that
cannot be quenched but each experience is added to your portfolio, so to speak,
of encounters. By this you are enriched as you begin to move from glory to
glory. Your experiences begin to build
faith and belief and that faith and belief compel you to seek more knowledge of
the truth. This is when you really start to become a danger to the darkness of this
world, and like Jesus, you begin to become challenged more and more in your
hunger and in your faith. And here is where many stop in teaching this concept
of casting down the accuser, because the next piece of the strategy requires a
level of humility, surrender, faith, and belief that is available to all, but
most do not want to don.
“And
they loved not their lives unto the death”. By your experiences (Testimony),
you become so full of knowledge, faith and belief you start to make a transition.
This transition is that of a temporal worldly thinker to an eternal, kingdom
minded thinker. Your knowing is no longer bound by the confines of the world
but released into the universal understanding that with God, truly, nothing is
impossible. Now here me, I am not saying we become careless and reckless.
Foolishness ought not be suffered. What I am saying is that when the follower
of Christ Jesus really begins to believe that they are bound for eternity with
Him, the cares of this world begin to slowly grow dim, so too does the concern
for the threats of the enemy. The devil and his children may be able to mess
with us in this temporary life, but they have no presence nor effectiveness in
the kingdom of Heaven. Realizing this is when you become a real threat to devils
and their designs, in the natural and in the spiritual.
The
bible teaches us that without faith, it is impossible to please God. Jesus
taught that if we are concerned more for our own lives other than doing what it
takes to follow Him, we are not worthy of Him. Love of your own life will
surely impede your ability to be an effective courageous warrior for the
kingdom of heaven.
Consider
this,
Matthew
10:37-39
37
He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that
loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
38
And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.
39
He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake
shall find it.
In
our last discussion, titled, “In His Likeness and Image”. I said this, “Now
biblically there are supernatural wars in the heavenlies and as we discovered
in the last teaching, by the testimony of Elisha, we can, by faith, catch a
glimpse in to the spiritual realm. This is happening all of the time but people
are not aware of what they are really witnessing”.
Truly
there are manifestations of the supernatural realm happening all around us.
Some of these we discussed in earlier teachings others we have yet to. Today it
seems that sightings of unexplained phenomena are on the rise. More and more
people are recording unexplained events. These involve events that used to be
discounted as delusions or hallucinations of madmen. Recently, in some fields
the understanding of this has changed dramatically. Let me give you an example.
Since the earliest forms of written or pictorial records man has witnessed and
made record of events and/or objects appearing in the sky that seem to indicate
the existence of intelligent life forms of other worldly origin. Most of the
time these are things that people just pass off as imaginary, fanciful or
fantastic, even unbelievable. People have reported sightings of objects that
are considered to be obviously beyond the current technology of mankind. Most
of these sightings were discounted and those attesting to their existence were
ridiculed and scorned. That was until more recently. Objects are being caught
on real-time modern-day recording devises. This includes cellphones, CCT
cameras, radar systems and flight recorders in military and other types of
aircraft.
Now
the public is aware of these sightings and recordings more so then ever before,
yet they seem to be remarkably unconcerned, even very disinterested. Recently
the pentagon released a number of videos taken from military aircraft. One such
video was taken from a fighter jet of an object flying over the ocean in the
Arabian Gulf. As the object was flying it was suddenly hit in the side by a
projectile of sorts, which broke apart somewhat then bounced off. Even after
the collision, the object kept flying on course. What was released to the
public was that the unidentified object was struck by an anti-aircraft missile
which inexplicably did not detonate. The durability of the craft allowed it to
remain in flight subsequent to the impact. It continued on until the fighter
was no longer able to track it. This was made part of a congressional hearing in
the investigation into these events and the nature of their increased presence.
This and other similar events have been attested to under oath in front of
congress. These reported sightings are not made by hallucinating madmen mind
you, but highly intelligent and credible people with the assistance of their high-tech
recording devices.
Do
you believe that the events I have just revealed to you are true? I never
really believed such things could be true. Some things such as this were fun to
fantasize about as a child when watching Science fiction movies or reading
science fiction novels but actually believing? Not really. But that mindset is
part of my testimony. You see, I grew up in a household that was consistently
experiencing input from very intelligent scientific people. We were practical,
patriotic and hardworking, I began to operate heavy equipment and drive
amphibious trucks for the family business at a very young age. Many of our
family friends were in the construction, engineering, mining, medical, flight
and legal fields. I gleaned much in my upbringing and was tutored to some
degree in all of the fields I just mentioned. As is usually the case, most of
my mentors included family members. However, some also included the likes of
men like George and Charles Finn of the famous flying Finn twins of WWII.
After
high school my chosen area of studies were Anthropology, Archeology and
Paleontology. I always had an interest in origins and in ancient history,
peoples and structures. However, as sometimes happens, life decisions cause us
to change course. Because of some of my decisions, I found myself returning to
the field of profession I grew up in and expanded in the fields of marine engineering
and construction, and mining.
I
am telling you this because I believe it important to know how experiences and
testimonies can really work to change ingrained thought processes and beliefs
associated with origins. We were practical and logical. I grew up in the High
Sierra Nevada mountains. I was an avid outdoorsman, a hunter and fisher. We had
gold mines. We canned, we kept the generator serviced and fueled and gathered
wood for the long winters. There were times when we could walk out the second
story window into the snow. Again, we were a practical people and life was
sometimes a very serious contest for us.
Now
having this serious nature about me I can tell you this. I didn’t believe in
unidentified flying objects until I had my own experience. For the summer, sometimes me and my children
would camp out in the back yard. Being up at nearly seven thousand feet in
elevation, without a lot of neighbors and lights allows for very clear and
bright star gazing. As we laid there, I would show them the satellites as they
flew overhead. Eventually it became a game to see who could spot one before
anyone else could. It was fun until we began to witness something very unusual.
On two occasions as we watched satellites cross the night sky, one would suddenly
turn at nearly a ninety-degree angle without stopping or slowing down. These
two events happened months apart. The first time was a cause for wonderment. I
was in my late twenties with a lot of life experiences and star gazing under my
belt. I had never witnessed anything like it before. My education and knowledge
told me that what we had witnessed was humanly impossible. But it occurred. I
was sure of it. The first time caused me wonderment. Then it happened again and
the second time caused me concern. Something was changing.
I
never really believed in Sasquatch or Big Foot. Until I had my own Experiences.
Once we got a call from our friends on a reservation in the Nevada desert. They
had had an experience with a creature they call Piedzo. When we arrived, we
witnessed the evidence of their experience. But that wasn’t the last time. As I said, I grew up in the forest. I was a
hunter, not just a hunter but an archer. I mention this because as many know,
archery hunters tend to be much more stealthy, patient and observant than others.
I believed I was familiar with every animal in the mountains until one night I
had an experience with a large creature deep in the woods that screamed a
scream that sounded like the roar of a lion mixed with the amplified cry of a
baby. I never saw it clearly but where I was, was not a place frequented by
people. I had gone all my life up until that point and never had an experience
such as this. Things were changing.
I
never really believed in poltergeist or Ghosts until life decisions caused me
to have to move into a rental house, as a single parent. Here, strange
occurrences started to happen. They began with the unmistakable sound of opening
and closing doors on the second level above my bedroom. The sound of someone
upstairs walking back and forth in the middle of the night became common as
well. This caused my dogs to frequently stare at the ceiling and growl. Every
time it occurred I ran quickly up the stairs in an effort to catch the
perpetrator, but to no avail. I never found anyone or evidence of anyone being
in the house. Although once, in the evening, I caught a glimpse of a woman in
the reflection of the large bay windows in the living room. As I was sitting on
the couch, movement in the reflection caught my eye. When I focused on the
reflection, I saw what appeared to be a woman walking up the stairs behind me. I
quickly turned and made my way up the stairs but found nothing. Then, later, I
began to experience something taking over my computer and sending messages
across my computer screen. Whatever it was, eventually became more aggressive.
I could sense hostility and anger in the air. Whatever it was, grew in its maleficence.
What
caused me to leave that house is when one day, after being gone for not much
more than an hour, I came home to find my kitchen cabinets open and some of
their contents on the floor. The pantry door was open and food spilled
everywhere. A fifty-pound bag of dog food had been spilled and the contents
strewn throughout the kitchen and living room. The carpet in the living room
was ripped up off of the floor from the front door all the way to the kitchen,
about twelve feet. The front door looked as though my dogs, who were well
trained and generally calm, were trying to eat their way out of the house. For
weeks prior to this I had been admonishing the children for leaving the pantry
door open and leaving messes in the kitchen. They denied having done so. In
retrospect it became obvious that there was a buildup. The door being left open
and messes of spilled food from the pantry became increasingly more frequent
until it seemingly crescendo in the event as I have described above.
In
2003 I moved into a new community far from my home town. It was a new experience
for us and we were working through all of the challenges, adjustments and
excitements that come from such an undertaking. It was a new part of the
country, new house, new community, and new schools. And, as you can imagine or
maybe you know by experience, a time of acclimating and getting settled.
Although, I never really found myself completely settled there. Anyway, one
evening long after the children were in bed asleep, I was sitting on the couch
in the living room. Suddenly I heard the sound of footsteps running down the
hallway upstairs, to the stairway, down the stairs then into the living room.
The culprit was my, at that time, fiancés, little girl. She was about seven.
She came straight to me. She was a bit disheveled and had a look of
bewilderment on her whole countenance. “Did you see him”? she asked me. A bit
concerned and confused I replied, “no baby, see who”? To this she replied, “The little furry boy,
he was in my room, we were going to play than he ran away”. “I chased him down the hall and down the
stairs”. “He came right through here”, “are you sure you didn’t see him”? “No”,
I assured her. We spent some time talking about her experience, while I
comforted her. Afterwards, I took her
back up to her bed and sat with her until she fell asleep. She seemed very
certain of what she had seen and the memory of it did not fade.
I
thoroughly believe she believed what she saw. Now even more than before,
because, fast forward about nine years later I was Pastoring in a church in an
adjacent community. Yes Pastoring. God had done an amazing work in my life in
that time and by His Son, our Lord and savior Yeshua, Jesus and through the
mighty works of the Holy Spirit. I was compelled to change hats. I was led into
His service and have diligently pursued Him and working in the calling on my
life I believe to be God ordained. Now, with respect to this, word had gotten
out into the local community that we are serious believers in the word of God,
the commission Jesus gave His ministers and the signs that should follow His
followers. This we find, in part, in the following.
Mark
16:15-18
15
And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every
creature.
16
He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not
shall be damned.
17
And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out
devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
18
They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not
hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
This
being said, and again about nine years from the time of the experience I just
described to you, a young couple came to our church looking for help. This
couple had recently moved from New York to the North West on to a large plot of
land in the hills outside of town. They wanted to know my opinion about
spirits, demons, fallen angels, holy angels and exorcism. We spent some time in
discussion and I answered their question to the best of my knowledge and
experience and we also referred to the scriptures for the benefit of
confirmation and counsel. After we spoke the woman asked me to please come to
their home and property and pray over it and cast out the unclean spirits. Since
they had moved in, they began to be harassed by unexplained occurrences and
strange sightings. The events grew more frequent and whatever it was, was
becoming more aggressive. Then the aggressors began to manifest themselves to
the couple and visitors that came to the property. This had the woman now terrified
and not wanting to return to their home, so she checked into a local hotel.
What the couple and visitors were telling me was that the spirits were
appearing as orbs of light in the trees and little furry people. When the orbs
appeared, the little furry creatures appeared. These little furry people were
running around the yard at night. Occasionally breaking things, beating on the
walls of the house and or staring into the windows. If not for the experience
involving little furry creatures in my own house nine years earlier, I might
not have believed in the credibility of this couple’s story as much as I did.
We
prayed over them. I agreed to pray over their land and home so we scheduled a
day and time. When I arrived at the property, I found that they had made a
large pentagram on the front lawn. It was painted on the grass. For night time,
to create the ring, and at all intersecting points of the star, they had placed
a solar yard light to light it up. I immediately admonished them for this,
removed the lights and destroyed them. Then did what I could to obscure the
paint on the grass. When I asked them why in the world would they have done
this, the man said that he was basically captivated by the experience and
wanted to enhance and ensure an experience for guests. He believed that by
building the altar he could increase the potential of the presence of the orbs,
so that people he invited to witness the occurrences would have a better chance
of seeing them. This is when I realized that they were treating these
occurrences as if they were some sort of novelties, a show. I was completely
appalled. He didn’t want to touch the alter they had made. They had no idea
what they were playing around with. Prolonged exposure and alignment with the
demonic are nothing to trifle with, it is very dangerous. Demons will, if
enabled, destroy your life and cause your death in this life and the next, but
usually not until they use you to destroy and cause the death of others.
After
this, I walked around the property while casting out the devils, declaring
deliverance and anointing the land and house with blessed oil. From that day,
all demonic occurrences as described before, ceased. After some time, the
couple came back to me to thank me. They felt safe and at peace on their land
and in their home for weeks. They were very grateful, or so it seemed. The
sincerity of the man was suspect to me. After about two months had gone by, one
of the visitors had come to me to report that the demonic had returned and it
was worse than before. Apparently, despite warnings, the man’s yearning to
experience the prestige he felt while displaying his novelties to whom ever he
could interest, caused him to build a new alter. He bought new lights, built a
new pentagram, and invited it all back in again. It wasn’t long until the
ensuing chaos became so effectual in their lives that the local SWAT team and
others were called to the residence. The man was arrested, and from what I
gather he was tried for domestic violence and sent to jail.
Experiences
have a way of changing mindsets and belief systems. I didn’t really believe in
the supernatural until I could not avoid acknowledging its existence. I didn’t
believe in demons until I was attacked by them. The first time I actually saw a
demon was late at night in my bedroom. I was woken up out of a deep sleep. As I
opened my eyes, by the light of the moon shining through my window, I saw an
old woman standing at the foot of my bed. She was dressed in an all black
cassock like garment standing there motionless, just staring at me snickering
and softly cackling. I tried to call out to address her verbally. I sought to
quickly get up out of bed to confront the threat I perceived she presented. However,
I found myself unable to speak or move. I laid there, helpless, fighting what
seemed to be a nearly complete paralysis preventing me from moving. This lasted
until she turned and seemed to glide across my room through my open door. As
soon as she left my room the paralysis ceased to confine me so I immediately
got up to pursue her but found she was nowhere to be seen. She Just vanished.
The
second time I saw an actual demon was in an old large wooden church in Spokane
Washington. This church was built in the 1800s in a part of the city now known
for its elevated crime rate. It was a Sunday morning. My wife and I had just
finished leading worship and the Pastor of the church was beginning to preach
the message to the congregation. As this was going on, my spirit was just in an
unsettled state, so I was in the back of the room walking back and forth behind
the congregation. I was pacing, silently praying and proclaiming the goodness
of God over the congregants.
As
I was praying, my attention was drawn to the front of the room where the pastor
and pulpit stood. To my left, down the left-hand wall was a hallway entrance
that led from the room we were in, to the outside. At the end of the hall was a
door that had a window in it so the sunlight shown through the window down the
hall and into the room. This hallway also ran past the doorway to the kitchen
and the access to the basement stairs. As
the pastor was preaching, my attention was, for some reason, fixed on the
hallway entrance. Then it began to appear. At first it was a set of hands that
gripped the door jam on the right side of the door way. Then slowly a head and
face began to appear between the position where the two hands were. I say face
but what I actually saw I can only describe as a shadow figure with white eyes.
When I saw it fully manifest, my attention was then drawn to the congregants.
In the front row sat the head of security. I saw him looking at the same
doorway I had been. I saw him began to get up slowly while reaching into his
coat, apparently to grasp his weapon. I looked back to the door way and saw the
shadow looking at me and as soon as it saw me see it, it retreated down the
hallway. When it did, it cast a shadow on the wall in the sunlight revealing
its movement, as it made its way down the hall. Immediately the head of
security crossed the room Infront of the pulpit with his hand in his coat
gripping his weapon the whole time, until he reached the hallway. He entered
the hallway and disappeared out of site for a time. Then he reemerged with a
confounded look on his face. He made his way back to his seat and sat studying
the hallway for the rest of the service.
After
the service, I spoke to the security guard and asked him what he had seen. He
said that he saw the shadow of a man standing in the hallway and when he moved
to the direction of the hall, the man must have left because he saw his shadow
as he went down the hall but by the time he got there, there was no sign of
him. So, he inspected the kitchen and the door. He was mystified that the man
was able to leave before he got to him and that the door’s security chime
didn’t alert that the door had opened. We checked the door a number of times
and the security chime did not fail to operate. When I explained to him what I
saw, he turned a bit white. He knew what he had seen but did not want to fully
admit to it at first. We corroborated together. We had actually seen a shadow
figure manifest itself so thoroughly that it was able to cast a shadow in the
sunlight down the hall. So, I spent some
time that day anointing the expansive basement with oil, casting out unclean spirits
and searching for intruders. I found none of the natural sort. There was a time
when I was intimidated by demons, until I found out who I am in the Lord and
learned to cast them down.
I
believed in God but not whole heartedly, until my life choices caused me to
have little choice but to seek Him thoroughly. Now by seeking Him, my
experiences and my testimony have brought me to a place of maturity in knowing
He is, and that He is alive. The believer should come to a place where the more
the devil throws at you the more his efforts serve to reveal deeper levels of the
existence and love of the living God. In this way, Satan is a self-defeatist.
The
occurrences are on the rise. Things are changing evil manifestations are on the
increase. we are surrounded by unexplained events. Or are we? Are they
unexplainable. Natural people tend to strive to rationalize the seemingly
unexplainable, by applying what they know of the physical realm. They cling to what is known in the natural
without contemplating that the spiritual realm does exist. Most people will
only allow their belief systems to expand to the point allowed by common
understandings. This is usually to a degree that extends only to the extreme
boundaries that are determined allowable within the adoption of the beliefs of
some so-called expert in any given field of study.
I
remember years ago watching an interview of a man who had invented one of the
first hydrogen separators he used to separate the hydrogen atom from the water
molecule. Using his machine, he was able to power the small engine on his motor
scooter. As the interview revealed, the man was convinced by his friends to go
public with his invention, this as they promoted, would ensure his safety. They
believed that certain people would not appreciate such an invention competing
with other forms of energy production, so they rationalized going public would
give him exposure enough to detour any maleficence that may be planned against
him. Needless to say, the interview in its entirety is extremely interesting
but what stood out to me most was this. The inventor had no formal education.
He was a high school dropout. He was in essence a farmer tinkering in his
workshop. When the interviewer questioned him as to how he was able to devise
the machine he had made, stating that smart minds have worked on this and
millions have been spent to make such discoveries yet none were successful,
“how were you able to come up with this”? The man’s response was simple. He
responded, “I wasn’t educated by the same books that told them they can’t”.
It
is not wise to blindly take an expert’s word only, on any matter. For example,
the so-called experts will tell you that the Grizzly bear is extinct in
California, well I know by personal experience that that is definitively
untrue. When covid began the experts predicted that Africa did not have the
finances and medical means to rise to the challenge and protect the people from
the supposed onslaught of human death that the virus threatened to present.
They said there would be millions killed, bodies lining the streets they
warned. From 2020 to present I have traveled to and lived in more than a half a
dozen African nations. The claims of the experts never manifested. In fact,
from our perspective in Africa, covid was, for the most part, a first world
issue. What we observed is that where there was an absence of social media and
American mainstream media influence, there seemed to be a lack of the effects
of the covid virus. Jesus said what you say believing with your whole heart
will come to pass. The people of Africa were not consistently deluged by the
same information the first world was. What we observed seemed to support that
people in the first world were convinced to believe a narrative that served to
consumed many.
Follow
the science, listen to the medical professionals we were told. John Pombe
Magufuli, a PhD in Chemistry, was also the president of Tanzania before and when
covid came to be. As time went on, he revealed to His people the many
fraudulent claims being foisted upon the African people, with regards to the
corona virus and claims being made by the World Health Organization. When the leading
nation of the free world was arresting congregants and beach goers for being
out in public, when they were forcing their people to wear masks and to remain under
house arrest by the use of threat duress and coercion, backed by the use of
hand cuffs, paintball guns and firearms, Magufuli convinced his nation to
congregate, fast and pray, gather together to worship, and to keep living as
nothing happened. President Magufuli publicly defied and challenged the World
Health Organization (WHO). Our adopted nation of Tanzania prospered, so Magufuli
was unalived on March 17th 2021.
The
world changed. For the first time the masses began to realize how relatively
easy it had become for the few in positions of delegated authority to
manipulate humanity through fear and intimidation, convincing people to
voluntarily surrender their constitutionally protected rights.
Today
many scientists and doctors work to convince parents to subject their children
to surgical procedures in a belief they are performing gender affirming care.
These operations are now and always will be one hundred percent unsuccessful. Men
are created as men and women born women at an atomic level and beyond. No
Psychologist, no medical doctor, no medication and no surgeon can now nor ever
be able to transfer or transplant a soul. The only success that comes from such
procedures is Satan’s ability to warp minds and cause hands to shed innocent
blood. The hands that swore an oath to do no harm actually cause everlasting
harm and parents become a physical embodiment of the devourer. Devouring their
own children
Today,
we actually witness so called doctors sit in nationally recognized forums like
congressional hearings and make claims like, gender is fluid, men can be women,
children can decide their own gender, women can be men and men can give birth
to children. Things are changing.
Psalm
53:1
1
The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have
done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.
No
fool who claims in their heart “there is no God” does good, no not one. Mankind
cannot allow ungodly fools to rule by virtue of credentials. All over the
world, in all walks of life there are people who believe their credentials make
them superior over others. This is whether their credentials are valid or not. There
are many who fall prey to credential worship. There are literally thousands of
resources online where the falsification of doctorates, along with other credentials
can be purchased. Those who purchase these and use them to gain advantage have
a heart to deceive. You will find them in government offices, schools,
universities, private practices, news rooms and even behind the pulpit. God
does exist, this I know for sure and nothing can convince me otherwise. I have
experiences, I have a testimony and it is growing every day. I am not unique in
this and neither will you be if you seek Him with your whole heart.

And Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many
as were of the kindred of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem.
7
And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or by what
name, have ye done this?
8
Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the
people, and elders of Israel,
9
If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what
means he is made whole;
10
Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of
Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead,
even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.
11
This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the
head of the corner.
12
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under
heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
13
Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were
unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them,
that they had been with Jesus.
18
And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the
name of Jesus.
19
But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the
sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye.
20
For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.
Acts
5:17-20,24-25,27-29
17
Then the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him, (which is the
sect of the Sadducees,) and were filled with indignation,
18
And laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison.
19
But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them
forth, and said,
20
Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.
24
Now when the high priest and the captain of the temple and the chief priests
heard these things, they doubted of them whereunto this would grow.
25
Then came one and told them, saying, Behold, the men whom ye put in prison are
standing in the temple, and teaching the people.
27
And when they had brought them, they set them before the council: and the high
priest asked them,
28
Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name?
and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring
this man's blood upon us.
29
Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God
rather than men.
Satan does exist. Angels and demons do exist they are here walking among us. As we see in the following scriptures. They manifest themselves from time to time. Perhaps just enough to slowly desensitize mankind to their existence. They have been cast down to the earth do not be deceived. Do not cower, do not hide. Evil must be confronted. You have the victory.
Matthew
4:1-3
1
Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the
devil.
2
And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an
hungred.
3
And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command
that these stones be made bread.
Job
1:6-7
6
Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the
Lord, and Satan came also among them.
7
And the Lord said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the Lord,
and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in
it.
Genesis 6:1-6
1
And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and
daughters were born unto them,
2
That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they
took them wives of all which they chose.
3
And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also
is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
4
There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the
sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them,
the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
5
And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every
imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
6
And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him
at his heart.
1Peter 5: 8
8
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion,
walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
Matthew
13:37-40
37
He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
38
The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the
tares are the children of the wicked one;
39
The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world;
and the reapers are the angels.
40
As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in
the end of this world.
