Doctrine of Demons - Skull and Bones

The Lord spoke his word to me, saying, “Human, look toward Gog of the land of Magog, the chief ruler of the nations of Meshech and Tubal. Prophesy against him and say, ‘The Lord God says this: I am against you, Gog, chief ruler of Meshech and Tubal. I will turn you around and put hooks in your jaws. ~Ezekiel 38:1-4


Skeptics: Please see the Research Sources section below.

Does it mean anything to know it is widely alleged that each of the Bush's George (H.W. and W) as well as their father Prescott are Knights of the rebuked goddess Eulogia - as sworn members of the secret order of Skull and Bones?

Does it mean anything to know that "Magog" is alleged to be George H.W. Bush's given name in the secret order of Skull and Bones (an alleged suborder of Satan)?

Would it bother you to discover that your favorite politician is actively worshiping demons?

Would it change your opinion of him or her?

Would it change your behavior toward him or her?

Would you continue to support his or her every idea?

If you are a disciple of Jesus Christ, you know that there is only one God.

The Great I AM is Christ Jesus (ref. John 14:6).

Christ Jesus doesn't teach us to rail accusations against Satan and his minions - He simply rebukes them by His very presence - In the power of His Word, His Name, and His Finished Work on the Cross (ref.  Jude 1:9).  As King of kings and Lord of lords He simply speaks - "be still" to the storm - the storm has no authority to disobey - it must take its proper place upon the authority of The Most High God (ref. Matthew 8:23-27).

They began screaming at him, "Why are you interfering with us, Son of God? Have you come here to torture us before God's appointed time?" (Matthew 8:29).

The demons know who Jesus is.

Do not his living disciples understand?

Or is it we whom are "of little faith" (ref. Matthew 17:17)?

Let us pray.  We pray to Father God in the powerful name of Jesus for more faith.  We pray for more wisdom.  We pray for the immediate breaking of any agreement ever made between the fallen world (Satan and his minions, including Eulogia, and/or any others in unrighteousness) and the potential and/or actual children of God (humans whom have or may receive salvation through Christ Jesus).  We pray for the salvation of each individual member of Skull and Bones through Christ Jesus.  Let us pray that the rebuked spirit Eulogia be bound for eternity - never again to exercise any authority on earth or anywhere else.  We pray for eternal liberty for beings made righteous through Christ Jesus our Lord.  We know it is your will Lord that none should perish (2 Peter 3:9).  Please set us free Lord into your authority - into all your righteousness - please set us all free from sin and anger - forever - in Your powerful name Christ Jesus we pray. Amen.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT DELIVERANCE

WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY DELIVERANCE?
By the word “Deliverance” we mean the casting out of demons from people, particularly Christians. The New Testament model of Jesus’ ministry clearly verifies this definition.

WHAT IS A DEMON?
We have learned demons are disembodied spirits, possibly from some past generations. These entities have distinct personalities, desires and names. They have a strong desire to dwell inside humans since this is the only way they can fulfill their desires. They can exercise authority on the earth through a human tongue. They are invisible to the human eye.

WHY CAN’T I JUST IGNORE THESE THINGS?
Jesus did not ignore demons, so we should not think we can. Regardless, of some present day teaching, demons are not harmless. They can be so deceptive that most people are not aware of their activity in their own lives, homes and churches. Jesus gave every believer authority to deal with demons. Casting out demons is a primary sign to follow a true believer’s life.

CAN DEMONS GO OUT OF ONE PERSON AND INTO ANOTHER?
In some instances, demons can leave one person and go into another. If a person desires to have demons come into themselves (such as some people in witchcraft), they can take in the demons. This is common in certain religious rituals such as voodoo. People can be vulnerable to demonic entrance for several reasons. Where there is valid spiritual authority and discernment, such transference is very limited.

WHERE DO DEMONS GO WHEN THEY ARE CAST OUT?
Jesus said demons go to dry places after leaving a person. They seek rest and do not find it and come back to the same person seeking another entrance. If that person has only swept out their house (their body) and not filled the voided places with the Lordship of Jesus Christ, the demon will not only come back in, but bring seven (a complete number) worse than himself into that person. Then , according to Jesus, the last condition of that person will be worse than before he received initial deliverance. We also have the instance where Jesus allowed the demons to go into the pigs, but the outcome of that situation is another matter.

SHOULD I BE AFRAID OF DEMONS?
Believers and followers of the Lord Jesus Christ should not fear demons or even Satan. Jesus gave absolute authority over all the power of the enemy and said, “Nothing should be any means hurt us.” Fear is a demonic spirit and can be cast out.

ARE CHILDREN SAFE IN A DELIVERANCE SERVICE?
Children are always as safe as their parent’s level of belief. Once properly introduced and taught about deliverance, children often become more aggressive warriors than adults. The key to children’s deliverance is the deliverance of the parents. Often children will manifest demons leaving them while they are leaving their parents.

WHY IS DELIVERANCE NOT PRACTICED IN MOST CHURCHES AND MINISTRIES?
Satan and the demons have worked fervently to deceive the Body of Christ about their activity. Integrating deliverance into a life or ministry takes it to a new level spiritually requiring a more circumspect walk. Obviously, the enemy does not like such commitment and the exposure it brings to his activities and will seek to retaliate. Many believers do not want to deal with demonic issues in their lives due to embarrassment or shame. Leaders, especially, avoid such. The warfare of deliverance is hard work requiring a sacrifice of time and effort. Most turn away from this spiritual “front line,” choosing, as Israel of old often did, to dwell in their tents in fear rather than confront and destroy Goliath.

I WENT THROUGH DELIVERANCE ONCE, ISN’T THAT ENOUGH?
Most believers have been taught that deliverance is a one-time event like salvation in an evangelical setting. Actually, deliverance is a lifestyle. When one joins the army, their entire lifestyle revolves around war—preparing for war, going to war or being ready for war. The true calling of the church is warfare. Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil. We now know there are many levels of deliverance needed in everyone’s life due to rejections, traumas, sins and certain experiences. We are to keep fighting until we are free indeed!

DOES EVERYONE NEED DELIVERANCE?
Jesus was the only one to live on this earth in which the prince of this world could find nothing.

CAN A BELIEVER MINISTER DELIVERANCE TO HIS OR HER SELF?
One can renounce agreement with demons they discern in their own life. Falling out of agreement with an unclean spirit will often cause it to leave. The degree one can minister to their self depends on their level of faith. Sound teaching and the experience of ministry from others greatly enhances the ability to deal with some personal demons.

MY PASTOR DOES NOT BELIEVE IN DELIVERANCE, WHAT SHOULD I DO?
If you are serious about maturing as a Christian and becoming an overcomer, you must find your place in a body with leadership that believes in, partakes of and practices deliverance. This ministry should not be delegated because leadership does not want to do it. God’s true leadership should set the example for the flock just like Jesus. This sign of casting out demons should follow all believers, including the leadership. Jesus offered no substitute for deliverance or the casting out of demons. He fasted and prayed, but He still confronted the demons and cast them out. God’s true leadership must set the Jesus-like example.

WHAT CAN I DO TO MAKE DELIVERANCE MORE EFFECTIVE IN MY LIFE?

Resolve your total commitment to the Lord.
Repent of all known sin.
Receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
Find ministry you can trust to open your life to completely—become totally transparent.
Get “knit-in” to a body of believers with like desires, beliefs and practices.
Get your home in order according the standards of God’s Word.
Begin to minister to others and give of yourself.
Keep your eyes on Jesus and all He has done for you already and not the demons and what yet needs to be done in your life.

WHAT ARE DEMONS?

A study of the origin of the word demon, indicates these entities were observed long before the ministry of Jesus. The term ‘demon' is the rendering of two Greek words which Plato derived the meaning ‘knowing' or ‘to know.' Later, an early church Father, Eusebius rejected this definition and said it instead meant ‘to fear.' The Dictionary of Deities and Demons in the Bible (Brill Publishing, 1995) says the etymology (of the word) more likely stems from the root δαίω (daio),‘to divide (destinies)'. Thus the word could designate one's ‘fate' or ‘destiny', or the spirit controlling one's fate, one's ‘genius'. Commonly the word designated the class of lesser divinities arranged below the Olympian gods, the daimones. Hesiod describes them as the souls of those who lived in the Golden Age, who now invisibly watch over human affairs.

Two verbs from this root are important in Biblical and related literature: δαιμονάω (daimonao) and δαιμονίζομαι (daimonizomai) . Both originally meant ‘to be under the power of a god or daimon', which condition was often a blessing, producing prophetic utterance or heroic behavior; it could also be a curse, and the words could mean ‘to be insane'. In later authors, especially Jewish and Christian, they came to mean ‘to be possessed by a demon' which caused bodily infirmity or insanity; in the sense ‘to be insane' it was used pejoratively of the ‘ravings' (= ‘doctrines') of heretics (Eusebius, Hist. eccl. 7.31.1 of Mani).

WHERE DO THEY COME FROM?
One ancient theory of the origin of the demons was that they were the souls of the dead who, having been unjustly treated or killed, sought retribution. Another conception was that they were the ghosts of the wicked dead (Josephus, Bel. Jud. 7.185: “demons [are] the spirits of wicked people who enter and kill the living”). Origen tells us that the Church had no clearly defined teaching on their genesis; his view was that the Devil, after becoming apostate, induced many of the angels to fall away with him; these fallen angels were the demons (De Princ. pref. 6; Tatian, Adv. Gr. 20; cf. Rev 12:4). The most popular myth, however, is found in the Bible, intertestamental literature, the rabbis and the Church fathers: demons are the souls of the offspring of angels who cohabited with humans. According to this story, a group of angels descended from heaven and mated with human women, producing as offspring a race of wicked →giants who conquered and defiled the earth with violence and bloodshed. To destroy them, God caused the Flood. The spirits of the drowned giants, neither angelic nor human, were trapped in the regions of the air which they haunt as demons, seeking host bodies to inhabit (cf. “the power of the air” Eph 2:2; and Eusebius, Praep. Ev. 4.5.142: [Greek theologians] assigned “the atmosphere to demons”). According to Justin Martyr, “the angels … were captivated by love of women and engendered children who are called demons” (2 Apol. 5; cf. Gen 6:1–4; 1 Enoch 6–21; Jubilee. 4:22; 5:1ff.; Jude 6).

THEY CAN ENTER HUMANS
Regardless of ancient conjectures, the most accurate definition of the word ‘demon' in the New Testament is a spirit without a body that is able to enter humans, animals and objects and affect behavior or action. They are able to do this in large numbers as was the case of the Gerasene demoniac. The main effect of demons on the host in the Synoptic writers was to cause physical and mental suffering and anti-social behavior. Rather than someone being “possessed of a demon” as we see in the King James Version, the most accurate translation is “to be demonized” or “to have a demon.”

The word is wrongly translated “devil” or “devils” in the KJV. Who many call the devil is really Satan, and the demons, who are under his influence, are also called unclean or evil spirits.

A close study of the teachings of Jesus and His encounters with demons reveal they have distinct personalities.

They can speak (Mark 1:24; 5:7-12)
They have a will (Matt. 12:44; Mark 5:11-12)
They have knowledge (Mark 1:23-24: Act 19:15)
They have emotions (James 2:19)

Demons are unquestionably real and able to invade or influence the minds and bodies of humans including Christians.

Praying Scripturally To Thwart the Kingdom of Darkness

If believers only prayed in regard to the harvest, but no one ever sowed the Word, there would never be a harvest of souls - no one would come out from Satan's dominion. A person can pray for a crop all year long, but if he doesn't get out and plant some seed in his garden, he will come up empty-handed at harvest time. And I don't care how good the seed is or how well-prepared the ground is - if there is no water or rain, there will be no crop and no increase. In the Bible, water is a type of both the Word and the Holy Spirit.

James 5:7 says the Husbandman has long patience for the precious fruit of the earth, until He receives the early and the latter rain. The rain mentioned in this verse is a type of the Holy Spirit. And in Zechariah 10:1, the Bible instructs us to ask the Lord to send the rain - the spiritual rain of the Holy Spirit: "Ask ye of the Lord rain in the time of the latter
rain..."

To prepare the ground for the seed of the Word to be planted, we can pray for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon all nations. But then someone will have to go preach the gospel in order to set people free because it is the Word that sets people free (John 8:32). That is the scriptural way to change nations.

You are not going to be able to deal with the devil in nations any other way than by praying according to God's Word and by sowing the incorruptible seed of God's Word.

Therefore, it is scriptural to ask for the rain - the Holy Spirit - to be poured out upon every nation to cause the seeds of the Word that have been planted in people's hearts to grow. Another way to pray scripturally to pull souls from the kingdom of darkness is to ask the Lord for the harvest to send forth laborers into the harvest (Matt. 9:38).

No matter how good the harvest is, if there are no laborers to reap the harvest, the precious fruit of the earth will not be gathered in. So just keep asking the Lord for the rain of the Holy Spirit, keep preaching the Word to people, and keep praying for laborers to be sent forth. Then there will be a harvest of souls that will be brought into the Kingdom of God. That's how to scripturally change cities and nations, and because it's based solidly on God's Word, God will bring the increase (1 Cor. 3:6).

How is carbon dating done?

How is carbon dating done?

 Carbon dating is based on the assumptions of man. Personally, every time I have attempted to assume that something in God's Word was incorrect - time and time again, God has proven to me that He is right and I am wrong. I've learned my lesson. Jesus Christ is Lord. Jesus Christ is Righteous (always right). The Word of God is Truth. Live by Christ and you will never go wrong. Proverbs 3:5-6

Meat of God or Bread of Life

This Lord's word explained bible study document will be the Meat of God or Bread of Life. I will show you that often when Jesus is talking about meat, he is referring to doing the work of God as Jesus also wants all of us to do the work of God.

All text taken from the version of the King James Bible.

In John 4:31, Jesus is talking with his disciples and they pray that he should eat. In verse 32, Jesus tells them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of. In John 4:34 Jesus saith unto his disciples, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. Finish reading John 4:35-38 and refer to the Harvest and Sower in the Parable of the Kingdom and Sower Scriptural Definitions document for help in understanding these verses.

In the above scripture, John 4:34 - "meat" is this case is referring to food or work, and "will of him," is referring to the "will of God" - what God started out to do in the first place, before the serpent/Satan deceived the woman (Eve), and Jesus is to finish the work that God started.

In John 6:51, Jesus said, I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man (or person) eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. - See Heir and Joint-Heir with Christ

Jesus is not talking about cannibolism here, but learning about the Word of God, and believing in the birth of Jesus--that he came to save us from the sins of the world and teaching others. But we must learn to follow the commandments of God. See - Ten Commandments also The Great Commandments.

In John 6:27 Jesus said to his disciples - Labour not for the meat which perisheth (spoils or goes bad), but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed. See -Sign, Mark and Seal of God

It goes on with the disciples not understaning yet and they question Jesus about the manna (or bread) the people received from heaven while they were wandering in the desert. And Jesus tells his disciples that Moses did not give them that bread from heaven, but God has given them the true bread from heaven.

John 6:33 - For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world. This bread which Jesus is speaking about is himself.- John 6:33

The disciples continue to question Jesus and he said unto them, John 6:35 ... I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. See - Famine / Hunger; The Good Shepherd

As I stated earlier, Jesus is not talking about cannibolism, he is referring to learning, trusting and believing in him (Jesus) and teaching others about God, just as Jesus said in John 4:34 ... My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work

In other words, to teach others about the kingdom of God.

Why should we read the Bible / study the Bible?

"All my weak days have a common cause - I have neglected communion with God through my neglect of the Scriptures and prayer. When will I learn?"
~ Paul Washer

Question: "Why should we read the Bible / study the Bible?"

Answer: We should read and study the Bible because it is God's Word to us. The Bible is literally "God-breathed" (2 Timothy 3:16). In other words, it is God's very words to us. There are so many questions that philosophers have asked that God answers for us in Scripture. What is the purpose to life? Where did I come from? Is there life after death? How do I get to heaven? Why is the world full of evil? Why do I struggle to do good? In addition to these "big" questions, the Bible gives much practical advice in areas such as: What do I look for in a mate? How can I have a successful marriage? How can I be a good friend? How can I be a good parent? What is success and how do I achieve it? How can I change? What really matters in life? How can I live so that I do not look back with regret? How can I handle the unfair circumstances and bad events of life victoriously?

All Scripture is given by inspiration of God...
(2 Timothy 3:16-17)



We should read and study the Bible because it is totally reliable and without error. The Bible is unique among so-called "holy" books in that it does not merely give moral teaching and say, "Trust me." Rather, we have the ability to test it by checking the hundreds of detailed prophecies that it makes, by checking the historical accounts it records, and by checking the scientific facts it relates. Those who say the Bible has errors have their ears closed to the truth. Jesus once asked which is easier to say, "Your sins are forgiven you," or "Rise, take up your bed and walk." Then He proved He had the ability to forgive sins (something we cannot see with our eyes) by healing the paralytic (something those around Him could test with their eyes). Similarly, we are given assurance that God's Word is true when it discusses spiritual areas that we cannot test with our senses by showing itself true in those areas that we can test, such as historical accuracy, scientific accuracy, and prophetic accuracy.

We should read and study the Bible because God does not change and because mankind's nature does not change; it is as relevant for us as it was when it was written. While technology changes, mankind's nature and desires do not change. We find, as we read the pages of biblical history, that whether we are talking about one-on-one relationships or societies, "there is nothing new under the sun" (Ecclesiastes 1:9). And while mankind as a whole continues to seek love and satisfaction in all of the wrong places, God—our good and gracious Creator—tells us what will bring us lasting joy. His revealed Word, the Bible, is so important that Jesus said of it, "Man does not live on bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God" (Matthew 4:4). In other words, if we want to live life to the fullest, as God intended, we must listen to and heed God's written Word.

We should read and study the Bible because there is so much false teaching. The Bible gives us the measuring stick by which we can distinguish truth from error. It tells us what God is like. To have a wrong impression of God is to worship an idol or false god. We are worshiping something that He is not. The Bible tells us how one truly gets to heaven, and it is not by being good or by being baptized or by anything else we do (John 14:6; Ephesians 2:1-10; Isaiah 53:6; Romans 3:10-18, 5:8, 6:23, 10:9-13). Along this line, God's Word shows us just how much God loves us (Romans 5:6-8; John 3:16). And it is in learning this that we are drawn to love Him in return (1 John 4:19).

The Bible equips us to serve God (2 Timothy 3:17; Ephesians 6:17; Hebrews 4:12). It helps us know how to be saved from our sin and its ultimate consequence (2 Timothy 3:15). Meditating on God’s Word and obeying its teachings will bring success in life (Joshua 1:8; James 1:25). God’s Word helps us see sin in our lives and helps us get rid of it (Psalm 119:9, 11). It gives us guidance in life, making us wiser than our teachers (Psalm 32:8, 119:99; Proverbs 1:6). The Bible keeps us from wasting years of our lives on that which does not matter and will not last (Matthew 7:24-27).

Reading and studying the Bible helps us see beyond the attractive "bait" to the painful "hook" in sinful temptations, so that we can learn from others' mistakes rather than making them ourselves. Experience is a great teacher, but when it comes to learning from sin, it is a terribly hard teacher. It is so much better to learn from others' mistakes. There are so many Bible characters to learn from, some of whom can serve as both positive and negative role models at different times in their lives. For example, David, in his defeat of Goliath, teaches us that God is greater than anything He asks us to face (1 Samuel 17), while his giving in to the temptation to commit adultery with Bathsheba reveals just how long-lasting and terrible the consequences of a moment's sinful pleasure can be (2 Samuel 11).

The Bible is a book that is not merely for reading. It is a book for studying so that it can be applied. Otherwise, it is like swallowing food without chewing and then spitting it back out again—no nutritional value is gained by it. The Bible is God's Word. As such, it is as binding as the laws of nature. We can ignore it, but we do so to our own detriment, just as we would if we ignored the law of gravity. It cannot be emphasized strongly enough just how important the Bible is to our lives. Studying the Bible can be compared to mining for gold. If we make little effort and merely "sift through the pebbles in a stream," we will only find a little gold dust. But the more we make an effort to really dig into it, the more reward we will gain for our effort.

Prayer to stop Bleeding

This is from my friend Betty:

Wanted to share this with you:
Growing up I remember my family talking about a scripture that would stop bleeding. Of course, my family wasn't the most church-going folks, but they were God-loving, God-fearing Christians. They were also superstitious in saying only a man could read the scripture to a woman and vice versa, which I sincerely doubted. If God put it there, he put it there for our Faith and anyone who truly believed could use it.After I came to this area, I remembered to ask Daddy about that scripture. It is Ezekiel 16:6. (From King James Version:) "And when I passed by thee, and saw thee polluted in thine own blood, I said unto thee when thou wast in thy blood, Live; yea, I said unto thee when thou wast in thy blood, Live"I have used it several times over the years saying it with Faith repeating at least 3 times to stop a heavy nosebleed, etc., and always, the bleeding stops. Today Heidi sent me a text message asking for me to share the scripture. Her boyfriend's frail grandmother had a severe nosebleed and they couldn't stop it. Now you know that Heidi is a veterinary technician and she definitely knows how to stop bleeding, (even though Grandma has only 2 legs, not 4)…...but they had no luck and were about to call 911. I texted them my version of the words (from my memory)....to both Heidi and Josh's cell phones, saying pray this with Faith, repeating it at least 3 times and Believe!
5 minutes later, she sent me a text back that the bleeding had completely stopped! Yes, Miracles still happen. That scripture is definitely worth committing to memory. Usually when you need it, it's in a hurry and you don't have time to Google for the scripture, and you don't have to say the words verbatim as long as you have the meaning.

My parents gave me this same scripture. Every time I pray it in faith it works! My cousin was in the ER with serious bleeding and as soon as we prayed, she quit bleeding. My dad said as a kid he watched it used on animals and it worked! I just gave it to a friend whose grandson is having major internal bleeding. I am believing in faith that now that we have started praying this over him, he will be healed.

graviola

HEALTH TIP: The soursop fruit, also known as graviola (Portuguese) guanábana (Spanish), or corossol (French) is a large, green fruit with a dull spiked surface, found mainly in tropical regions. It comes from a small evergreen tree with dark green leaves.

Over three decades ago, in 1976, the National Cancer Institute performed a study on the soursop fruit which demonstrated amazing cancer-fighting potential. Results of this research showed that soursop was quite effective at attacking and destroying the malignant cells. As a matter of fact, soursop was found to be “selectively toxic” to colon cancer cells and was also calculated to be 10,000 times more potent than Adriamycin chemotherapy (also known as doxorubicin). Adriamycin is oftentimes called “red devil” due to its deep red color and terrible side effects, which include life-threatening (sometimes fatal) damage to the cardiovascular system. Even though Adriamycin is NOT selectively toxic t
o cancer cells (i.e. it kills ALL cells – even healthy cells), it has been a first choice of chemo for over 50 years.

Soursop contains a unique set of chemicals called “annonaceous acetogenins” (produced in the bark, leaf, and seeds) display tremendous anti-tumor potential and are selectively toxic against various types of cancer cells and cause no harm to regular healthy cells. These acetogenins have also been documented to be anti-parasitic and anti-microbial. Three separate studies have shown that these acetogenins are superb inhibitors of enzyme processes only found in the membranes of cancerous tumor cells. This is why they are toxic to cancer cells but have no toxicity to healthy cells.

In 2011, researchers found that graviola fruit extract (GFE) suppressed so-called oncogene (or cancer-causing gene) expression in breast cancer. The oncogene known as epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is commonly over-expressed in breast cancer, and therefore an ideal target for therapy.

Humility

The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility. Proverbs 15:33

Commentary:  "Humility" is the foundation of all Christlikeness.  The only personal thing that Christ said about Himself was, "I am meek and lowly in heart" [Mat. 11:29].

James Madison

James Madison

Fourth President [1809-1817]
Father of the Constitution
Helped frame the Bill of Rights
President Jefferson's Secretary of State
Author of 29 of the 85 Federalist Papers

What He Did:


At the Constitutional Convention of 1787, James Madison proposed the plan to divide the central government into three branches. He discovered this model of government from the Perfect Governor, as he read Isaiah 33:22;

“For the LORD is our judge, [judicial]
the LORD is our lawgiver, [legislative]
the LORD is our king; [executive]
He will save us.”

Baron Charles Montesquieu wrote "The Spirit of the Laws", a book that was read and studied intently by our Founders. Montesquieu wrote in 1748; “Nor is there liberty if the power of judging is not separated from legislative power and from executive power. If it [the power of judging] were joined to legislative power, the power over life and liberty of the citizens would be arbitrary, for the judge would be the legislature if it were joined to the executive power, the judge could have the force of an oppressor. All would be lost if the same … body of principal men … exercised these three powers." Madison claimed Isaiah 33:22 as the source of division of power in government.
 

In 1812, President Madison signed a federal bill which economically aided the Bible Society of Philadelphia in its goal of the mass distribution of the Bible. “ An Act for the relief of the Bible Society of Philadelphia” Approved February 2, 1813 by Congress

On April 20, 1816, Congress also approved relief for the Baltimore and Massachusetts Bible Societies!

What He Said:

"...we have all been encouraged to feel in the guardianship and guidance of that Almighty Being whose power regulates the destiny of nations, whose blessings have been so conspicuously dispensed to this rising Republic, and to whom we are bound to address our devout gratitude for the past, as well as our fervent supplications and best hopes for the future."  First Inaugural Address?

“We have staked the whole future of American civilization, not upon the power of government, far from it. We’ve staked the future of all our political institutions upon our capacity…to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God.” [1778 to the General Assembly of the State of Virginia]
“We’ve staked our future on our ability to follow the Ten Commandments with all of our heart.” 

“I have sometimes thought there could not be a stronger testimony in favor of religion or against temporal enjoyments, even the most rational and manly, than for men who occupy the most honorable and gainful departments and [who] are rising in reputation and wealth, publicly to declare the unsatisfactoriness [of temporal enjoyments] by becoming fervent advocates in the cause of Christ; and I wish you may give in your evidence in this way.” Letter by Madison to William Bradford (September 25, 1773)

 “It is the mutual duty of all to practice Christian forbearance, love, and charity toward each other.”

“A watchful eye must be kept on ourselves lest, while we are building ideal monuments of renown and bliss here, we neglect to have our names enrolled in the Annals of Heaven.” [Letter by Madison to William Bradford [urging him to make sure of his own salvation] November 9, 1772]

The Building 7 Challenge - YouTube

The Building 7 Challenge - YouTube

The Holy Bible Forbids Incest

"The nakedness of your sister, the daughter of your father, or the daughter of your mother, whether born at home or elsewhere, their nakedness you shall not uncover" (Leviticus 18:9). The consequence of this law is "If a man takes his sister, his father's daughter or his mother's daughter, and sees her nakedness and she sees his nakedness, it is a wicked thing. And they shall be cut off in the sight of their people. He has uncovered his sister's nakedness. He shall bear his guilt" (Leviticus 20:17).

It seems that many (especially nonbelievers) are confused by the story of creation. For example, the following comment was recently posted on Yahoo Answers:

"Adam and Eve produce children that marry and have kids. That sounds like incest to me. Here's a bunch more incest in the Bible:  http://listverse.com/2008/05/26/top-6-incestuous-relationships-in-the-bible/"

The restriction on marrying near relatives changed as the world aged. In the beginning, the world was created in perfect condition. "Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good" (Genesis 1:31). There were no genetic defects to plague mankind at this time. Hence, Adam married Eve even though she was created from a rib taken from the side of Adam (Genesis 2:21-24). However, Adam and Eve sinned which opened the door for death and decay (Genesis 2:17; Romans 5:12). The decay did not come immediately, but gradually. Adam and Eve's children married each other (Genesis 5:1-4). After all, there were no other humans. Eve was the mother of all living (Genesis 3:20). And Paul points out that all of mankind come from one blood. "And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings" (Acts 17:26).

As time progresses, we find Abram married to his half-sister (Genesis 20:11-12). Jacob married two sisters (Genesis 29:21-28). But by the time the Law was given to Moses on Mount Sinai, detailed restrictions were placed on sexual relations between near of kin. The rules are found in Leviticus 18:6-18. A person was not allowed to marry or to have sex with:

Her father
His mother
His step-mother
His sister
Her brother
His half-sister
Her half-sister
His granddaughter
Her grandson
His step-sister
Her step-sister
His aunt (by blood or marriage)
Her uncle (by blood or marriage)
His daughter-in-law
Her son-in-law
His sister-in-law
Her brother-in-law
Any woman and her daughter together
Any woman and her sister together

However, notice that cousins did not make the list; they could marry.

With all this being said, the most important thing for anyone is not judgement, but instead, to find and receive Jesus Christ.

"For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved" (John 3:17).

"That if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you shall be saved" (Romans 10:9).

When we repent and receive, turn our lives over, to Jesus Christ - He forgives us of our sins and brings us into right relationship with God.

The Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ gives us power to turn from our wicked ways and walk in righteousness.

Let us pray that all of us "grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen" (2 Peter 3:18).

Blessings!

Abortion and Oppression


I've noticed that there is one issue that nearly everyone seems afraid to speak of...

abortion.


When fear takes hold,
we begin to stop talking.
When we stop talking,
we begin to stop thinking.
When we stop thinking,
we begin to stop caring.
When we stop caring,
we begin to lose touch.
When we lose touch (with Jesus, the Truth, our sense of right and wrong, our moral compass),
we begin to lose our way (wrong direction without our moral compass).
When we lose our way,
we are easily deceived.

When we are deceived,
we become willing to ask or take directions from either no one or anyone.

We allow ourselves to be led into dangerous areas.

Imagine being lost in the bad part of a city and trusting anyone on the street for directions.  Or, imagine driving around aimlessly in the bad part of a city afraid to ask anyone (even a police officer) for directions.

Without intervention, we enter deeper and deeper into danger.  We fall further and further into the net.  We become more and more vulnerable to attack.

When fear takes hold,
we are ripe for destruction.
We are easily used, easily abused, and easily taken captive.

In this condition, overcome by fear,
we are controlled and oppressed.
Our condition, our environment, the people and things that surround us, foul spirits - take control.
Once fully oppressed,
we are reduced to the condition of slaves.
Slaves of unrighteousness,
are apathetically complicit.
We become hopelessly ensnared by our original sin - fear.
In this condition, we find ourselves helpless.
Constantly, we are concerned about what others will think.
Completely, we are unconcerned with Truth.
We become separated - unable to know
and incapable of standing for righteousness.
Hopelessly, we are swept under a deluge of lies.
Mass media proclaims
our right to choose.
Yet we become more comfortable with letting others decide.

It seems easier to let others choose for us.
"It's settled law."
"It's mass consensus."
"It's cruel to offend."

No strength to escape,
and too afraid to pull back the shade.
Terrified to peek out the window.

"Oh what horrors may we see in the truth."

The unknown paralyzes us.

We are deathly afraid.
Even to entertain
the thought of escape - unmentionable.
Unable to recognize reality,
our hopeless condition -
a condition in which we are destroyed.

One moment at a time, we suffer
a slow, painless, quiet death.
Like frogs in hot water, we are ready to boil.
Numb we are to the Truth.
Numb we are to all right reason.
Secretly terrified,
we find ourselves
on our own
isolated.
A singularity within the mass
is each of us
hurling into oblivion.

Soon, we become offended ourselves.
We become angry at anything that can actually help us escape.
Quickly we are irritated by any hint of righteousness.

It's very presence reminds us of something we have long chosen to forget.
Righteousness -
we don't want to remember
the cross of Christ.
The very sight swells our anger.

We find ourselves cursing the cross and all it represents - righteousness.

"Oh, if we could only forget
or bury its truth forever."

Or better yet, "let's reduce it to an object of no meaning, let's turn it into jewelry, to bring us some kind of cheap luck."

We don't like being angry.

We must forget about this thing - righteousness.

Our emotions become our weakness.
Our mask becomes our strength.
We must bury them - useless feelings, bleeding hearts, - all useless.
We must put an end to all this anger.
We must banish all emotion.
Let us create games as our outlet.
Let us outlaw thought.
Let us live without offending anyone.
It's better that way.
Let us call this "peace".
Peace of mind
is comfort
at all cost.

We must not be reminded of the possibility of escape,
or even the existence
of something else beyond our immediate sight.

We must remain
fully secure
in our immediate surroundings.
It is best
for ourselves
for our society
for our rulers.
For us to be
destined
for common destruction.
Mass media proclaims
the end is near.

Do we see?

What begins in fear ends in bondage.

When we become slaves of fear
unrighteousness becomes free to rule.
When unrighteousness rules
we become unprepared.
Once unprepared,
lost and alone,
we are vulnerable.
Once we are vulnerable,
we are easily destroyed.

When the time comes
to give the right advice
or make the right choice - we freeze.
We choose the path of least resistance.
Out of apathy, born of fear,
we falter.
We let ourselves down.
We fail others.
It's then that our fall is complete.

Fear is sin (Revelation 21:8 KJV).

Let us repent and be free.

Let us speak the truth while we still can.

If you have made it this far,
take the time to consider your own condition.
Search your heart.
What do you fear?
What are you afraid to say?
What are those things that keep you
living in fear?
What do you know is true
and keep to yourself
out of your own selfish fear?

Consider this - OUR intervention.

This is OUR problem.

Are we unable to remember - where we went wrong?

Are we unable to recognize wrong at all?

In the lost condition, wrong seems right.

Everything becomes relative,
to ourselves,
to our personal (corrupt) feelings,
to our happenstance.
It's just easier to ignore,
to have no position,
to go with the flow.
It seems safer to walk quietly
into the eternal chamber of death.
Don't struggle.
It seems safer to die spiritually.

Do we see?

Everything is backwards.

Society says:
Death is safe and secure.
Death is preferred.
Death is encouraged, advertised, subsidized.
Death is celebrated.

It's our right to choose?

When our preference is death
life seems meaningless.
Our entire life becomes a lie.
Because in the lost condition
our life is death.

Without intervention,
our condition is hopeless.
We are afraid to consider treatment.
Our healing is stifled.

It's our right to choose?

It's our choice to choose.

Our choice is really the only thing left up to us - thank God.  For we have made a real mess of things with our wrong choices (Genesis 3:6).  Yet all of this can begin to change for each of us right now.  By choosing Jesus Christ, by believing in Him, by asking Him to open our eyes.  And with boldness, allowing Him the glory of leading us through every moment from this point forward.  Let us pray for Jesus to lead us completely out of this mess and into the fullness of all truth and all righteousness.  Amen?

Where in the Bible does it say that fear is a sin?

Revelation 21:8

King James Version (KJV)
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
