Soul Sale (The Profit Margin)

“If you worship me, it will all be yours.” Luke 4:6-8

“For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” Mark 8:35-37

I recently watched three separately recorded video clips sent to me by an entertainment industry insider. It showed on separate occasions three mega-superstars each declaring blatantly or subtly that they had ‘sold their souls to the devil’. Many giggled and thought that the absurdity of those declarations must have been pun intended. The severity of the camouflaged laments or cries for help were eventually reduced to bad or poorly selected jokes. What was even more bone chilling was that one of those mega-stars went ahead to say that the result of the ‘soul transaction’ was more money, toys and fame. I knew right away in my gut that he was not doing stand-up comedy.

The Bible (inspired word of God) tells us that Satan is the god of this world. When God the Creator cast Lucifer down from the heavens, he relegated him quite some power and authority. The devil was very much aware of this, so aware that he had the guts and steely nerve to approach Jesus Christ after our Savior’s forty days fast in the wilderness. He made Jesus Christ an offer of what had been given to him. Stating that if Christ (God in flesh) would reverse roles and worship him (the devil) he would be greatly rewarded in this world. “The devil led him up to a high place and showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world. And he said to him, “I will give you all their authority and splendor; it has been given to me, and I can give it to anyone I want to. If you worship me, it will all be yours.”  Luke 4:5-7

Jesus never argued the authenticity of the devil’s claim to owning the world. But He referred to the Scriptures for verification of who was in ultimate control and was to be worshiped. Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve him only.” Today, are you in agreement with Jesus that He (God) alone should be worshiped?

So many have made that transaction like the aforementioned superstars in the first paragraph. The flesh while very much alive devices a plan to glorify itself and then presents it at God’s altar; demanding howbeit religiously that God bless the Spirit-void itinerary. Of course the Holy Spirit never adorns that which is not born of God. Thus a door is opened for Satan to come in and make his seemingly easy and ever-ready offer.

Does God not use and bless His people, one might ask. Absolutely! In His will, His way and His time. The end result is deliverance, freedom and peace for first the person being used, then an outpouring  to all affected. How can we now tell when it is of the devil or of God; ” … be filled with the Spirit,” Ephesians 5:17-19

“For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world.“
1 John 2:15-17

If These Walls Have Ears… (They Would Speak!!)

“For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out-of-the-way.” 2 Thessalonians 2:6-8

Prologue: We praised and worshipped as we walked around the house. After about twenty minutes, we stopped in front of the room as I knelt down and bowed my head; asking My God the Deliverer to give me wisdom and direction on how to proceed. He would empower and give the grace for the issue at hand. After about ten minutes in His presence, as my friend and her mother looked on (praying right outside the door). I walked in with a bottle of ‘annointed oil’… “So I went in and looked, and I saw portrayed all over the walls all kinds of crawling things and unclean animals and all the idols of Israel.” Ezekiel 8:9-11

Technically, there really is no vacuüm in nature. If there is, then nature abhors it. Even in the bible, we are warned about leaving an evacuated space vacant or as a vacuüm. I found out personally the effect certain activities which takes place in a particular space can have on that space.  If the activity is good, it has a good after effect. Like wise if the activity is bad…

I was once invited to a suburban mansion by a dear friend and her mother. It was an incredible honor coming from this well-to-do and private family. The fact that they trusted to have me in their specially kept secret of a haven. As the weekend commenced and we got ready to retire for the night, My friend said I could stay with her in her room or go to the elegantly prepared guest room. I told her I would stay in the guest room, so she could have her space to rest after a long hard week. Her mother ran off to inspect the guest room before I got there and exclaimed in disappointment that the maid had not done it quite the way she wanted. My friend and I went along to see what she meant; from our point of view, we thought the room was perfect and needed no more adjustments. But Lauren’s (not her real name) mother was an impeccable hostess and would have it no way less than her standard. In her disappointment and unnecessary embarrassment, she insisted I spend the weekend in her room (master’s bedroom).

My hostess’ room was like a page out of an upscale interior design magazine. It was as classy as it was spick and span. And I was genuinely touched by her love and desire to honor. So after a long hot shower, there I lay in the mass of feather-filled luxury as cozy as a princess floating away in the clouds. I contentedly drifted off… I must have slept for about an hour and a half, when it happened. Now I don’t claim to see or hear things from the spirit world (thank God!!!). If you hear and see that on a regular basis, then you do need serious deliverance. It is not right, natural or of God. Needless to say, every now and then God may reveal or show something to His servants as need be. Well back to my reverie before I detoured. So as I slept, I felt somethings climb over my body and run across the bed. I was stunned to say the least and shocked stiff to bewilderment. I could not move at all. I began to hear what sounded like the pleading cries of LITTLE CHILDREN AND INFANTS!!! As the cries went on, I felt little feet pattering all over me, from one side of the bed to the other. I thought I would die and evaporate all at the same time. I was so flabbergasted that I could only managed some muffled and strained prayer up to JESUS my Saviour and Rescuer. Three hours later of muttered pleas to heaven, I was able to get a shut-eye of about two-hours before dawn broke.

“Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the LORD,” 2 Kings 20:1-3

I was stressed and visibly shaken and worse of all, I did not know how to tell my hostesses about what transpired without embarrassing or startling them. So as we sat to eat the sumptuous and lovingly prepared and spread breakfast, I mulled over my next action and prayed to God for grace and direction. Having gotten the green light from the Lord, I went ahead to regale my hostesses on what transpired the night before. As I spoke,  my friend’s mother began to shake in uncontrollable sobs… That room in particular: I later found out had been used by the previous occupants for unspeakable demonic acts, sacrifices and practices.

“Then he took his firstborn son, who was to succeed him as king, and offered him as a sacrifice on the city wall. The fury against Israel was great; …” 2 Kings 3:26-27

For quite sometime my hostess said she had not been able to sleep. Countless nights of torment and disturbance such as I had experienced also the previous night, but even at a larger scale. She just chucked it up to personal issues, problems and an unfortunate existence. No one else slept in her room since her husband had died, so no one else experienced that problem. She let me in because God had put a love and a trust for me in her heart and God had asked her specifically that weekend to see that I was blessed and very comfortable. She saw no greater honor than giving up her physical comfort. She did not expect that I would also share in her long-term burden. Well as a result of her obedience, God allowed me to experience her distress and indeed deliverance would come to her and her abode that weekend. 

What is the point of this story? Check the bedding in your room, what do you think? No, actually on a more serious note; I think that evicting these churches from using the empty school buildings during the weekend for a small fee is baseless. It in no way represents the ‘Seperation of Church and State‘, which was mainly instituted and derived from the ‘First Amendment‘ and intended to protect the Church and the people’s religious right from being governed or controlled by the government (“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” ). Interfering with physical location or physical existence might be: ‘impeding the free exercise of religion‘. The Church’s use of those building is not law making and might actually be God’s final way of protecting and preserving our children from going completely haywire. The reverberation of the Word, the Worship and Wholesome communication might be doing those school buildings some needed good and soothing the effect of inviting and ushering in evil. With the removal of prayer and anything that might even set some moral boundaries and adherence in those buildings every Sunday; I wonder what could be the replacement that would help to keep complete decadence at bay during the week.

“Night and day they were a wall around us the whole time we were herding our sheep near them.” 1 Samuel 25:15-17

In a society where every one is on some kind of prescription or another (exempting of course those that genuinely need it). I have friends in the Pharmaceutical industry who say everyone is popping pills (except me of course). They are popping it to sleep, they pop it to stay awake and they have to pop it to think and act right (not lose it as they put it in their own words). Why not? People are naturally distressed, as the Church takes a defensive nap and the devil mounts up his equipment unhindered in and out of the church as he awaits show time. ‘Principalities and Powers’ saturate the air as no prayer of the righteous is forcefully hindering or pushing them back.

“On the seventh day the priest shall return to inspect the house. If the mold has spread on the walls,  he is to order that the contaminated stones be torn out and thrown into an unclean place outside the town.  He must have all the inside walls of the house scraped and the material that is scraped off dumped into an unclean place outside the town.  Then they are to take other stones to replace these and take new clay and plaster the house.” Leviticus 14:39-42 

So go ahead dear Mayor and evict every thing holy or anything or person that alludes itself to Christ. Surely in all of seventy years, you must have observed that there is more to this life than billions of dollars and the good life (not lambasting ‘La vida buena’ at all, had my fair share and still do). There is this fact that no matter what we choose to do with GOD Almighty, it does not take away His sovereignty or minimise His power. The Bible still remains the infallible word of God and what it says will take place at the appointed time. Prayer happens to be a mode of communication to the one Who owns it all including your life. And the gathering of the Church He has ordered for the sake of fellowship and the visitation of His presence.

“The wealth of the rich is their fortified city; they imagine it a wall too high to scale.” Proverbs 18:10-12

“This sin will become for you like a high wall, cracked and bulging, that collapses suddenly, in an instant.” Isaiah 30:12-14

Epilogue: Lauren’s mother has slept like a baby, ever since then (my visit). She is ever so grateful, that she humbled herself and obeyed the Lord. That goes to show that we never know from whence out deliverance might come. It just might be drapped in a designer suit, a sack cloth or no cloth at all. One thing we do know for sure is that obedience is the key that unlocks it.

“This is what the LORD Almighty says: “Babylon’s thick wall will be leveled and her high gates set on fire; the peoples exhaust themselves for nothing, the nations’ labor is only fuel for the flames.” Jeremiah 51:57-59

“‘I the LORD have spoken. The time has come for me to act. I will not hold back; I will not have pity, nor will I relent. You will be judged according to your conduct and your actions, declares the Sovereign LORD.’” Ezekiel 24:13-15

Are You The Cause???

“If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them if a large millstone were hung around their neck and they were thrown into the sea.”
Mark 9:41-43

Blessings in the precious name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I received three links (!!!) to one sermon last night that I don’t care to be bothered with. I don’t know why it was sent and I do not want to know. With all due respect to the dear people who sent it, I know you meant well, but I really have moved on to real and redemptive stuff. It is time I wised up and sowed where I belong. I did not feel like writing anytime soon because I have been busy with other things, (namely last night). And I really did not want to off-set the flow of the article before this, but I guess I eventually have to at this point.

I notice that the rest of the world especially Europe invests a lot in prevention than in cure as in the saying; ‘Prevention is better than cure’. In North America; it is more like ‘I shall do what I want to do, when I want to do it and then when I am good and satisfied, I shall kick at the subsequent consequences.’ Well some times when you do decide to kick at the result of your actions, you might really harm and/or lose your toes. The scripture “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you”, has a deeply meditative quality. That means to some extent I put my self in my victims shoe, even if for a second and that slows the process of infliction. So next time we feel a need to be the barometer, of what is obviously out of our reach and influence (of which we once wished it was), let us ask ourselves if it had been ‘ours’ and us, would we still be this indignant and to some extent and in a different way do we not seek the same platitude?

Why should there be a problem, when some of us have achieved what we had hoped for, being inundated with our insecurities, intimidations and comfort people and zones. We surrounded ourselves with the people we were comfortable with and we could easily manipulate. Regardless of what God wanted and planned. Forgetting that He (God) is no respecter of persons and calls who He wants. We molded the house as it pleased us and as it was conducive to our flesh and pushed back God’s desire. Now we are shocked and slighted ‘that water has sought its own level’. Next time we feel a need to throw people out of their God-given ministry, so that our flesh is not overshadowed, and we ostracize and systematically usher them out of the house of God, let us remember that God was not slumbering, neither was He cheering.

I am not in the business of being entertained by what comes naturally to me or sitting muffled and bound when so much lies in me to do. I could not have been in the house of God tied up so that people can feel good about themselves when they feel they have me out-of-the-way. That attitude right there is a recipe for major deliverance and reeks of trouble. I do not see in God’s word where that was a workable formula. That is not my portion (mediocrity) and never will be. Maybe our own ‘doings’ have depleted the house of God and our ‘undoing’ will replenish it right back. Let God decide what He will do since His own house fights His gifts. As for the powerlessness of my wisdom and my ways (which are really not mine); my dears you are so mistaken:

“He replied, “Go tell that fox, ‘I will keep on driving out demons and healing people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach my goal.’ Luke 13:31-33

“The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’
Luke 7:33-35

And should indeed I be guilty of wasting my Fathers resources; I dare say we are all grounded till further notice. I feel a prophecy coming on now…

“So Miriam was confined outside the camp for seven days, and the people did not move on till she was brought back.” Numbers 12:14-16   ‘There will be no lasting progress or advancement untill God’s requirements are met. Remember these are the days of Elijah and Moses’.

Once again, my sincere thanks to those who sent me the sermon link, but I would like to move on in peace and less problems than the past has produced. I have had enough of the negativity and merry-go-round. Now I can be busy doing all the stuff that was deposited in me from the beginning of time and surrounded by people who actually recognize and appreciate it and can be blessed by it… I cherish your concern and embrace your care. But the ball cannot be in my court, can it? Ask God as you pray…

“The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’ But wisdom is proved right by her deeds.”
Matthew 11:18-20

HERE GO I AGAIN… (Lamentations of the Orphan girl)

Oh Lord how long must I put up with these wicked, uncaring, pedestal perched repeat offenders? They feel I am their punching bag. Time and again the same repeat offenders and their supporters wound and offend but every one keeps quiet because they are all clicks and clacks and mothers and aunts and sisters and brothers. They are justified to punch score and move on. But the minute I lift a finger, the perfect pedestal perchers who are untouchable have a word to preach. Maybe if they preached to the people in their vicinity before they repeatedly offend we may all be moving on.

This time around we are all going to be bleeding at the same time (EVERY ONE OF US, I promise!!!) then we can happily share the mercy package and hopefully respect first the word of God and then each other. Wicked, uncaring, self-centered hypocrites!

UPDATE: Thank You Heavenly Father! You are always quick to me with Your word of comfort. I would share it, but the people are very wicked, self-centered and bent on promoting evil. They only think of themselves and their families and clicks. They forget what you said to Pharaoh, since everyone thinks about preserving theirs but destroying yours:

“Then say to Pharaoh, ‘This is what the LORD says: Israel is my firstborn son,  and I told you, “Let my son go, so he may worship me.” But you refused to let him go; so I will kill your firstborn son.’” Exodus 4:22-23

I am thankful that You see their actions, even though they think all you see is the harvest of sin and rebellion. I am weary of their constant evil ways and evil promotion. I refuse to continue being their punching bag. Everyone has to partake of the pain they inflict and not cry for mercy after a satisfying wave of evil.  Please is it possible not to set eyes on any of  them ever again???  I have never seen a bunch of people profess something to the world as they try to look good, meanwhile you look bad by their actions, rebellion and how they treat those who do not belong to their clicks. Watch as they curse me out as the villian and complainer tomorrow. Anyway Thank you for this word:

 “Joseph (CO) is a fruitful vine,
   a fruitful vine near a spring,
   whose branches climb over a wall. 
With bitterness archers attacked him(her);
   they shot at him(her) with hostility. 
But his(her) bow remained steady,
   his(her) strong arms stayed limber, (Thank You Jesus!) 
because of the hand of the Mighty One of Jacob,
   because of the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel, 
because of your father’s God, who helps you,
   because of the Almighty, who blesses you
with blessings of the skies above,
   blessings of the deep springs below,
   blessings of the breast and womb. 
Your father’s blessings are greater (yes they are!) 
   than the blessings of the ancient mountains,
   than the bounty of the age-old hills.
Let all these rest on the head of Joseph , on the brow of the prince among his brothers.  Genesis 49:22-26

Pharoah’s Profile (Love Lost)

“But if anyone obeys his word, love for God is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in him:” 1 John 2:4-6

“And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.”  2 Corinthians 11:13-15

“If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person?” 1 John 3:16-18  (How about when they rob the poor and defraud the unsuspecting (ample proof exists) of the little they have; talking about I love God. Hogwash!)

“Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.” 1 John 4:10-12  (I have never seen a group of people run the house of God like they are the mafia)

“Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen.” 1 John 4:19-21  (Some of us had our eyes opened to the impostors because of the incessant hatred and ill-will that they exercised towards us and others still in severe pain, confusion and lack.)

It must be Christmas time, there is so much talk of love in the air but no evidence of its manifestation. What are the love starved pilgrims and armies of the Lord going to do with all these action-void talk about love. Well I would really like to be about the business of a ‘Diva’ right now e.g. getting a pedicure or something that pampers the flesh, but the Lord’s duty calls, and believe me it is a very loving one, a great love for His defrauded and deceived bride. A love that says enough is enough. Darkness will soon be exposed and dispelled.

“but I know you. I know that you do not have the love of God in your hearts.”  John 5:41-43  (Specially dedicated to the so called ’lovers’)

“But whoever loves God is known by God.” 1 Corinthians 8:2-4 (And protected by God)

“Treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God”— 2 Timothy 3:3-5  (This is really what they are about)

After all was said and done; Pharaoh found a way to wiggle out of dealing truthfully. He thought he was smart enough to ward of judgement as he went about secretly proposing and sponsoring lewdness in the altar of a Holy God.

“I am the LORD. Tell Pharaoh king of Egypt everything I tell you.” Exodus 6:28-30 I really wish I would be as cute and sweet as everyone else. But I got to tell ‘Pharaoh’ what he already knows.

“Pharaoh’s heart is unyielding; Exodus 7:14  (surprise!)

 “Go to Pharaoh and say to him, ‘This is what the LORD says: Let my people go, so that they may worship me.” Exodus 8:1-3  He knows exactly what the Lord is talking about. Stop controlling and deceiving God’s people, that they may walk in the fullness of what a Mighty God has in store for them.

“But when Pharaoh saw that there was relief, he hardened his heart and would not listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the LORD had said.”  Exodus 8:14-16  (Nothing new under the sun)

“Pharaoh said, “I will let  you go to offer sacrifices to the LORD your God in the wilderness, but you must not go very far. Now pray for me.” Exodus 8:27-29  (I will allow an appearance of me loving you, but if you do against my bidding; …)

“Then the LORD said to Moses, “Get up early in the morning, confront Pharaoh and say to him, ‘This is what the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, says: Let my people go, so that they may worship me,” Exodus 9:12-14

“Those officials of Pharaoh who feared the word of the LORD hurried to bring their slaves and their livestock inside.” Exodus 9:19-21  (Some wise people are …)

“When Pharaoh saw that the rain and hail and thunder had stopped, he sinned again: He and his officials hardened their hearts.” Exodus 9:33-35  (Here we go again)

“Go to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart and the hearts of his officials so that I may perform these signs of mine among them” Exodus 10:1-3 

“The LORD had said to Moses, “Pharaoh will refuse to listen to you so that my wonders may be multiplied in Egypt.” Exodus 11:8-10

“The LORD had said to Moses, “Pharaoh will refuse to listen to you—so that my wonders may be multiplied in Egypt.” Exodus 11:8-10  (Ride on KING JESUS, no con-artist gonna hinder you)

After hearing a certain noise, did you feel a burden lifted from your shoulders or are you not sure what to think (confusion)? Do you feel inspired and galvanised to be all God wants you to be. Are you better of now than when you started the day. Jesus the Christ does a thorough job and His deliverance is complete, exhilarating, and without question. You will be skipping on your ‘hinds feet’ should you possess any when you hear from the God Who is Love. When God speaks, the blind (spiritually and otherwise) see, the deaf hear and the lost find their way home.  But so far, the blind see men as trees, the deaf have so much coming into their trachea, they don’t know what to process as truth and the lost are still wounded and far from home. Tell me, is anything too hard for the Lord? That He should leave his people half-baked and in turmoil every time the powers of darkness are on the defence. Never mind if you disagree with this writer; search for the answers to these questions in you inner most being. Cry out to God to arise!!!

“If you love me, keep my commands”.John 14:14-16  That would mean treat others as you want you and your family to be treated. Don’t defraud others, don’t rob others, do not manipulate and deceive them and don’t deny them what you desperately seek for your empty soul. The greatest show of love is to let people be free to seek God’s will for their lives without dubious and manipulatively coated lies.

I have never heard/ known of any human being who did not respond to love. If the trade mark of a corrupt throne was love, Christ Himself becomes enthroned and His work goes forth. I have never seen a house with such bitter turn-over. People scattered all over the place in anger and pain. How is that possible. How can that be the product of God’s love. If anyone was exercising love, it was me. Until I had a very rude and unpleasant awakening. 

‘The visions of your prophets were false and worthless; they did not expose your sin to ward off your captivity. The prophecies they gave you were false and misleading”. Lamentations 2:13-15

“In fact, this is love for God: to keep his commands. And his commands are not burdensome,” 1 John 5:2-4 ( Hear ye loverboy and his first love (Jezebel), stop oppressing, manipulating and obstructing people’s lives! Deal with the wickedness that is you (not just in you). I showed you God’s love and kindness while you diligently worked at destroying my life. Wow! You steal from the widow, oppress and wound the fatherless, and pursue with the intent to destroy, anyone walking in truth. YOUR  JUDGEMENT IS INEVITABLE!!!)

Now let us see, what is love?

‘WORD’…

The true ‘hell-shaking and ‘yoke-breaking’ annointing; keeps the Beloved of the LORD at least seventeen steps (17) ahead of the devil . Shall a person groping in darkness get ahead of  a person with the full glare of the ‘Son of Righteousness’. Naaaah…  That is the word on the streets of gold (Heaven). Remember God hides little of what He does from a faithful servant/hand-maiden.

Stay tuned for more; God Bless You!!!

Keeping up with the ‘Kraziness’ and ‘Kodswallop’ (I Kan’t Kope!)

“I will set nothing wicked before my eyes; I hate the work of those who fall away; It shall not cling to me.”      Psalm 101:2-4

Here I go again! Yes I am just as befuddled as you are maybe even more so. It may very well be that God is setting me up; (much like He did Job) well if He is, it is all good and well, because He alone can protect and keep me anyhow. I wrote that to write this; I am once again about to delve into one of those ‘no she did not’ topic/stories. Hopefully by God’s leading and grace, when I am done we all as a  community could say confidently ’yes she did!’

There are certain things I would not pollute my blog wall with, certain things I would not even notice or give the time of day. However, this particular thing is getting ridiculous and I dare say becoming an eyesore (well not really, since the main character is a ‘well kept’ object of  beauty. Can I get some ‘Amens’ please). For the past two (2) weeks, the newspapers, magazines and every form of media and free press have inundated us with their carefully and deceptively concocted drama. It is a case of  the circus meets the zoo and the animals (though lacking wings) are airborne. Or in vernacular: we could say things are threatening to hit the fan.

I don’t watch T.V. Absolutely no offense if you do, but I don’t seem to have the time of day to sit in front that tube and come away feeling sane and productive. You go from one hour-long flick to the other as they interrupt you between commercials to inform you of the show coming up next. Now you have got a dilemma, because the ‘next show’ is even more intriguing than the one you just saw and they are saving the plot revelation till the last thirty seconds. And what is more heart wrenching is that six shows into the future (i.e. nine hours from the time you started with the first show) the best of them was still yet to come and the ‘sleaze factor’ rises with the scorching sun outside your walls. Eleven hours later, laden with six reality shows and two soap operas (with one comedy thrown in for a ‘fuzzy effect’), you hate your life, kitchen floor and cannot for the life of you remember why you have an empty bowl of ice-cream and potato chips bag sitting on the couch next to you in the first place! So now you are left with barely ten hours before the date officially changes and you are  no better a person than when you started out the day. The laundry still awaits your diligent attention and the children have learned a foreign language since the last time you tended to them.

I could tell you to throw the ‘box’ away like a dear Pastor used to say; and I quite understand where he might have been coming from.  It is probably like the scripture that admonishes us:-  “And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.” Matthew 5:29-31  I did throw one ‘box’ away at that time, or should I say the Lord orchestrated for it to walk away from me. Shortly after that I learned Spiritual Warfare, you know how to war ‘in the spirit’ and get results. In life, something always has got to give. But honestly that may not always practically apply to every situation in this day and age. You may find yourself having to plop in a “Winnie-the-pooh” dvd to distract Junior from tying himself up with the house telephone cord as you attempt to cook dinner. Yope, I got your back (and mine also), keep the ‘evil thing’ but with much discretion as to when and how to use it.

America has gone reality show ‘crazy’. A ‘reality’, that is void of truth and reality in itself ironically. I have been behind a couple of scenes to see how heavily scripted these shows can be. If you don’t believe me; picture me showing up on this heavily touted show called the ‘J_ Shore’ set (the emblem of drunkenness ) and preaching about drinking yourself into oblivion and alcohol induced stupor. Even though I would be backed by this scriptures; “Let beer be for those who are perishing, wine for those who are in anguish!” Proverbs 31:5-7  “Do not join those who drink too much wine or gorge themselves on meat,”  Proverbs 23:19-21, see if you get to hear about it thanks to editing and scripting reality (as crazy as that may sound). But the nation is gripped by ’reality happenings’ as it plunges into times of recession and moral decomposition, the government is bordering on (according to the occupiers/rioters) ‘plutocracy’ as opposing to democracy. And  American grade schools will not make it to the first twelve, when tested in Mathematics on an international level. It is now official, one in every fifteen American is living in poverty!

So let us try to keep up with the ‘K’s and maybe the ‘Jones’ also. We watch with our daughters as they slink from one man to the other man unwed. We are enthralled much to our detriment with the fashion they display, while we saunter around in sloppiness and careless abandon. We really care to know what they had for breakfast while we are not so sure what is for our dinner. They spend a whopping $100,000 in 20 minutes on shoes while we pay for it with our air time and our next door neighbor has no winter boots. Then in the end, they render whatever dignity was left in the ‘institute of marriage’ ineffective. As we run along to pay more money to hear exactly why what happened had to happen. If we still have not gotten the joke, then our brain cells have been fleeced theoretically.

If this is what it has all boiled down to, then an awakening; howbeit a spiritual one is in dire need right now. I spoke to a dear friend of mine this morning before writing this article. I knew she previously had a stint in the entertainment industry but I just did not know had deep her stint had gone and how highly influential and widely connected she was until today. She had worked with the A-listers on everything from the Grammy to the Music Awards and was well-known in that circle. I asked her what she thought about all the stuff going on and why she left the ‘happening cycle’. She simply said the moral decay, evil imbibement and superciliousness got to her. And praise God, now He is getting to her (by tugging at her heart-strings).

It is indeed very sad, what a great country has been reduced to, the garbage we have come to expect when we search the media for ‘news that is worthy to hear’ and ‘fit to print’. I just read of a charity helping families with sick children to get the children the help they need medically and financially. They featured an eight-month old girl who was shot in the eye by a stray bullet. She lost that eye, miraculously survived and is awaiting an operation to fix her face. Should that not be on the front page of every magazine and newspaper, so that help and sponsors can pour in? Instead we debate about excesses, lust and idolatry.

The only solution, will be for Christians to repent first of their negligence of the message of the Cross and then go ahead and preach to a very lost and yearning world. So on that note; ‘kalling all Kristians to stop keeping up’

and start lifting up… in prayer that is.

Cardiography… (Does Your Heart Need One?)

Cardiography /car·di·og·ra·phy/ is the graphic recording of a physical or functional aspect of the heart.  One main and common type of cardiographical procedure is Echocardiography.

Echocardiography is a diagnostic test that uses ultrasound waves to create an image of the heart muscle. Ultrasound waves that rebound or echo off the heart can show the size, shape, and movement of the heart’s valves and chambers as well as the flow of blood through the heart. Spiritually, all that cannot be seen on the outside God sees and will reveal to His servant when necessary, especially if there is no intent to repent or stop. Every thought, activity, plan and device is laid bare before the eyes of God. It can provide a wealth of helpful information, including the size and shape of the heart, its pumping strength, and the location and extent of any damage to its tissues. Everything that is wrong or right shows up on God’s spiritual Cardiogram. If there really is love, truth and acceptance as professed. It will all show up.  It is especially useful for assessing diseases of the heart valves. It not only allows doctors to evaluate the heart valves, but it can detect abnormalities in the pattern of blood flow, such as the backward flow of blood through partly closed heart valves, known as regurgitation. When a so called believer interprets the word of God in the flesh, it is life draining. like the backward flow of blood in the heart valve. By assessing the motion of the heart wall, echocardiography can help detect the presence and assess the severity of coronary artery disease, as well as help determine whether any chest pain is related to heart disease. Your lack of peace and joy, might just be due to the state of your heart. Echocardiography can also help detect hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, in which the walls of the heart thicken in an attempt to compensate for heart muscle weakness. This is when the heart is hardened and the person can no longer hear truth. It is also accompanied by a stiff neck. Echocardiography creates an image of the heart using ultra-high-frequency sound waves-sound waves that are too high in frequency to be heard by the human ear. Exactement!!! What God sees in his Spiritual State cannot be seen by the human eye, except He reveals it. The technique is very similar to ultrasound scanning commonly used to visualize the fetus during pregnancy.

“The LORD your God will circumcise your hearts and the hearts of your descendants, so that you may love him with all your heart and with all your soul, and live.”
Deuteronomy 30:5-7

“I will raise up for myself a faithful priest, who will do according to what is in my heart and mind. I will firmly establish his priestly house, and they will minister before my anointed one always.”
1 Samuel 2:34-36

I do not know that there is anything harder than dealing with flesh driven Christians (who have been in church forever) I will take a non-believer/voodoo priest any day. At least it is obvious what you have to work with. It must be a heavy burden for a ‘true man of God’ to look around and find that either his words fall on deaf ears or time and again there is no  improvement, advancement or growth in certain people year after year after year. I know that when someone is diligently and honestly serving the Lord, the enemy goes after what concerns them . I also know that God is faithful to the faithful one: (“… ‘Far be it from me! Those who honor me I will honor, but those who despise me will be disdained.”  1 Samuel 2:29-31 ) and will always come through with healing and deliverance in His wings. And By God’s grace I will purpose to pray for such a person.

I made a statement hidden in a statement about people and their warped political alignments using a medium of technology to subtly divert from what matters. And all the telephone lines were abuzz (yope I heard some/God has His ways “But there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets,” Daniel 2:27-29) as to me being against updates and pictures. Well the people whom I spoke to know in the deepest crevice of their heart what I was talking about, and that will be that.

As for the veteran rumor mongers whose alliance and heart have so hardened that the blood flow has coagulated and clogged the arteries of truth. I am not about my personal mission. If I were, you would never have anything in common with me, and our roads will never have to cross. But we are here at the cross and the ground is level praise God Almighty.  I will keep going about my Father’s business as He wants me to. To the ring leaders that like to garner people to support their fleshly and ‘high-school’ natured tirades, here is how God will remove the bottom from you: the people you feed nonsense now will eventually see truth and repent and completely change. You on the other hand will end up standing alone 300yrs later still unchanged and still clueless.

“In the day when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ,…”
Romans 2:15-17

“Would not God search this out? For He knows the secrets of the heart.”
Psalm 44:20-22

“As for you, O king, thoughts came to your mind while on your bed, about what would come to pass after this; and He who reveals secrets has made known to you what will be.”
Daniel 2:28-30

“And thus the secrets of his heart are revealed; and so, falling down on his face, he will worship God and report that God is truly among you.”
1 Corinthians 14:24-26

God is the one who reveals secrets and the intent of the heart. It goes beyond outward actions. When we harbor hatred and division in our hearts it seeps through in all that we do as innocent as it seems. A wicked heart keeps meddling and stirring up division and separation. Nothing is ever simple , everything becomes a platform for an agenda… HELP US LORD!!! When God confronts us with what is in our hearts we need to go to him for forgiveness, cleansing and refreshing. Some people you can get away with devouring them over and over again, but some people you can’t. They have paid a great price to be in ‘the secret place of the Most High’ they will see right through you by the burning power of the Holy Spirit residing in them. The collection of mans input is futile. Hate who you must and stir up who you will but be sure the ultimate power of God supports your decision. The issue is not an update (no one ever gave more info than I did!). The person who needs to know what they did, know already what they need to know. They are just shocked that it was noticed .

To ‘Hallow’ or not to ‘Hallow’ (That is what we must pray about…)

“I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people,” Ephesians 1:18 NIV

Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.” 1 Corinthians 15:33 

So I was walking down the ‘sleepless streets’ last night (October 31) talking to my God. That night is usually the most demonically active night in the calendar. I bet someone just said demons? What demons? Anyway as I was saying; praying through the night especially on that night is what I hope to make my tradition: it does not have to be yours. I do it that the blood of Jesus Christ would remain on me and my family, and the ‘death angel’ will have to pass us by as he completes his rituals. “But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.” Joshua 24:14-16  

But let us see (my praying through…) could that be why the most elaborate and evil plots, attacks and curses from the highest order of human hierarchy to the territorial principalities and powers in operation cannot and never will to the glory of God Almighty destroy me? This night is also the night that the largest amount of wickedness is perpetrated. You want proof and statistics? Well you will have to go find it for yourself; because this is not an article on Economics, but a tribute to the victory worn on Calvary and the name of my Christ. It is also for the purpose and intent of shedding some light on what should be a ‘no brainer’ for most people who profess to be Christians.  

 The information I am about to share, I really did not want to share because people are very much entitled to live the way they want to, incur curses as they very well please and furthermore become bed fellows with infirmities for as long as they can exercise their rights. I would have wanted to keep this to myself and family and protect what is mine. But lo and behold, I felt the Lord give me that look like: really, do you not care that my bride is not only dishevelled and brow-beaten, but that she invites the devil for tea-time and serves him, with her back as the snack stool. Well I am susceptible to not care for more reasons than I plan to state. But the main reason would be that this thing I have with the King of Glory is a relationship, not a religion.  And in a relationship, what breaks the other persons heart should break yours. A lesson in divine compatibility: if you constantly find yourself on a quest to destroy the other person, then you are a ‘square peg trying to fit into a round hole’. That is one of a billion reasons of course, but we will re-visit that point at the appointed time. Now how did I get on that… aah yes; the Lord said to drop that in. Let us continue with the topic at hand shall we? The blue comments will be mine.

“Halloween is considered by most in the United States as a fun holiday, mostly for children, but it has roots in ancient religions and folklore, including paganism, ancient Roman religions, early Catholic Christianity, Irish folklore, and even British politics! Children and adults alike enjoy this holiday today, with funny costumes, candy, and parties, while some countries observe this time as a remembrance of departed loved ones and religious saints.”

2 Corinthians 6:16-18 (NIV)

“What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said:

   “I will live with them
   and walk among them,
and I will be their God,
   and they will be my people.”

 ¹⁷Therefore,

 “Come out from them
   and be separate,
            says the Lord.
Touch no unclean thing,
   and I will receive you.”

 ¹⁸And,

   “I will be a Father to you,
   and you will be my sons and daughters,
            says the Lord Almighty.”

“Halloween is a holiday with ancient roots that had a much greater meaning than the boisterous, costume-filled holiday that we know today. Around 2,000 years ago, the Celts, who lived in what is now the United Kingdom, Ireland, and northern France, had a festival commemorating the end of the year. Their New Year was November 1, and this festival was called Samhain, pronounced sow-en. The end of their year signaled the end of summer, the end of the harvest season, and the beginning of a long, hard winter that often caused many deaths of animals and people. Weaker livestock were often killed and eaten during this holiday, since most likely, they would not survive the winter anyway. (⁹ Be careful, however, that the exercise of your rights does not become a stumbling block to the weak. ¹⁰ For if someone with a weak conscience sees you, with all your knowledge, eating in an idol’s temple, won’t that person be emboldened to eat what is sacrificed to idols? ¹¹ So this weak brother or sister, for whom Christ died, is destroyed by your knowledge. ¹² When you sin against them in this way and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ. ¹³Therefore, if what I eat causes my brother or sister to fall into sin, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause them to fall.)  1 Corinthians 8:9-13  Because of this, and the cruel winter to come, this time of year signified death to the Pagan Celtics. They believed the night before the New Year, that the wall between the living and the dead was open, allowing spirits of the dead, both good and bad, to mingle among the living. Some of these spirits were thought to possess living people, cause trouble, ruin crops, or to search for passage to the afterlife. ” ( So in your commemoration, pay in mind that you are legally agreeing for all these signs and rituals to pay you a visit and maybe take root for generations to come.) 

“Samhain was considered a magical holiday, and there are many stories about what the Celtics practiced and believed during this festival. Some say the spirits that were unleashed were those that had died in that year, and offerings of food and drink were left to aid the spirits, or to ward them away. Other versions say the Celts dressed up in outlandish costumes and roamed the neighborhoods making noise to scare the spirits away. Many thought they could predict the future and communicate with spirits as well during this time. Some think the heavily structured life of the Pagan Celtics was abandoned during Samhain, and people did unusual things, such as moving horses to different fields, moving gates and fences, women dressing as men, and vice versa, and other trickeries now associated with Halloween. Another belief is that the Celtics honoured, celebrated, and feasted the dead during Samhain. A sacred, central bonfire was always lit to honor the Pagan gods, and some accounts say that individual home fires were extinguished during Samhain, either to make their homes unattractive to roving spirits, or for their home fires to be lit following the festival from the sacred bonfire. Fortunes were told, and marked stones thrown into the fire. If a person’s stone was not found after the bonfire went out, it was believed that person would die during the next year. Some Celts wore costumes of animal skulls and skins during Samhain. Faeries were believed to roam the land during Samhain, dressed as beggars asking for food door to door. (Note that when you emulate what people did out of necessity and tradition for fun, you may have to pay for it, by it being a reality in your life. Much like watching pornography and saying it is no big deal) Those that gave food to the faeries were rewarded, while those that did not were punished by the faeries.”

“Over the next several hundred years, Christianity had spread to include the lands inhabited by the Celtics and the Romans, but the festival of Samhain was still celebrated by the people. The Christian church reportedly did not like a festival with Pagan roots practiced by Christians, (understandably so!) so a replacement was needed. Pope Boniface IV designated May 13 as All Saints Day to honour dead church saints and martyrs. Samhain continued to be celebrated, so in 835 A.D., Pope Gregory IV moved the holiday to November 1, probably to take attention away from the Pagan Samhain festival and replace it. Since All Saints Day was sanctioned by the church, and related to the dead, the church was happy, but many Pagan traditions of Samhain continued to be practiced, including bonfires, parades, and dressing up in costume. All Saints Day was also known as All Hallows, or All Hallowmas (Hallowmas is Old English for All Saints Day). Since Samhain was celebrated the night before November 1, the celebration was known as All Hallows Eve, and later called Halloween. In the year 1000 A.D., the church designated November 2 as All Souls Day, to honour the dead who were not saints, and they eventually became combined and celebrated as Hallowmas.”

“Jack o’lanterns are a Halloween staple today, with at least two historical roots. The early Pagan Celtic people used hollowed out turnips, gourds, or rutabagas to hold an ember from the sacred bonfire, so they could light their home fires from the sacred bonfire. Another tale from folklore gives jack o’lanterns their name. In Irish myth, a man known as “Stingy Jack”, who was a swindler and a drunk, who asked the devil to have drink with him… When Jack died, he was not allowed into heaven, because of his drunken and swindling ways, but he was not allowed into hell either, because the devil kept his word. Taking pity on Jack, the devil gave him an ember to light his way in the dark, putting it into a hollowed out turnip for Jack to carry on his lonely, everlasting roamings around the Earth. (Imagine having the devil as your guide and light bearer, when all he ever desired was to quench any ember you might have.) Meanwhile Christ said: “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.” Matthew 5:13-15  People from Ireland and Scotland would make “Jack o’lanterns” during this season to scare away Stingy Jack and other evil spirits wandering about.”

“Halloween was not a popular observance in early United States history, as most of the early settlers were Protestant. (Remember our Bible believing ‘Founding-Fathers’ or forgive me for mentioning that, you might be of the ‘anti-fundamentalist argument.) At the time, Halloween was considered mostly a Catholic, Episcopalian, and Pagan holiday, and therefore largely ignored. In the southern colonies, such as Virginia and Maryland, there were some Halloween customs observed. The first common events were called ”play parties”. These parties got neighborhoods together to celebrate the harvest, dance, sing, tell stories of the dead, tell fortunes, and have pageants for children in costume. By the mid 1800′s, immigration increased, and many Irish immigrants, mostly Catholics fleeing the potato famine, brought many Halloween traditions with them. Jack o’lanterns found a new face, the pumpkin, which was very plentiful in the New World. Catholics and Episcopalians sought to preserve their traditions, so started an effort in the late 1800′s to popularize and make their holidays known to the general population. By campaigning to put these holidays (Halloween and All Saints Day) on public calendars, magazines and newspapers started to publicize these holidays, and soon became popular in the United States more as a community and family holiday, rather than one of great religious and supernatural importance.

By the mid twentieth century, Halloween turned into a secular holiday, community centered with parties city-wide, parades, and great costumes. Halloween is mostly aimed to children, but young and old enjoy this holiday, with events and parties for both children and adults.  Halloween is the United States’ second largest commercial holiday, spending approximately $6.9 billion a year.” (Thanks to all the faithful observers I guess!)

Most of us do not remember the last time we had quality time with the Lord; probably we were busy gossiping and gripping about the ‘new girl’ in town or better still nursing our paganistic paraphernalia. Whatever the reason, if we as much as dedicated the same time, money and passion to observing Jesus and all that He stands for e.g. holiness; I dare say there would be breath in us to pick out a costume and add to our already hidden  personas. You know like claiming you love every body, when there are certain people you don’t care for, simply because they don’t fall into you very un-christlike click. Even though they reached out to you in the love of Christ… Phew!

Go ahead, eat candy and have fun and celebrate. Ignore all those uptight, fun-hating, kill-joy, holy roller Christians like this writer. But know that the day the devil decides he can climb all over you as he sees fit (because some time ago you gave him your time of day and access), do not ask those ‘holier-than-thou’ people to pray for your deliverance or healing… Know that after you have traipsed between the kingdom of light and of darkness, there comes a moment of truth when you need to have invested in the only thing that works after the play time is over. I have so much fun in living for Jesus that the people of the world stop to listen to my stories and are actually entertained by me!!! I don’t have to lower myself to grime, the world is so enthralled with the wisdom and joy of Jesus that it is willing to come up to hang with His vessel. We do have need for discipline in our walk with Christ these days. 

” Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. ²⁵ Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. ²⁶ Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air. ²⁷No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.” 1 Corinthians 9:24-27

Birds of the Same Feathers

I AM SO UNMOVED BY THE SOLIDARITY OF THE CHILDREN OF WICKEDNESS! They will band together because they will fall together. That is scriptural. God prepared me to the fact that they would gather together against me to the effect that they will fall for my sake. Actually it quite freeing and liberating knowing who they are. (They are manifesting right now…) Their hate filled wagon does not surprise me, they were always of the same spirit and acted the same, howbeit camouflaged with pristine words.  The fate of the devil is that he is already defeated! I know it and every person who is really with God knows it.  Keep on conniving, lying, cheating, deceiving and discriminating. Your time is SHORT!!!

NB I shall repeat my previous words: desecrating God’s house with lies, deceit, wickedness, injustice, oppression and lip-service plain STINKS!!! There is no other word with which to sugar-coat it. Also I am happy that the road to heaven is not paved with who we know but who we are and what we have done!!! Did God not tell us there was a reward in this world and the next?
