"I was in an evil plight. And those who know me will agree that I have seldom been in such need, and do not bear such misfortune well. Gandalf the Grey caught like a fly in a spider's treacherous web! Yet even the most subtle spiders may leave a weak thread.'

Swallowing camels and straining at gnats

Remember the 5 D's!!!!!!!!!!

Discredit, defame, dehumanize, demonize and delegitimize

How I see it.

Where is yours? Or do you even have one?

Ecclesiasticus 48

Then stood up Elias the prophet as fire, and his word burned like a lamp.
He brought a sore famine upon them, and by his zeal he diminished their number.
By the word of the Lord he shut up the heaven, and also three times brought down fire.
O Elias, how wast thou honoured in thy wondrous deeds! and who may glory like unto thee!
Who didst raise up a dead man from death, and his soul from the place of the dead, by the word of the most High: Who broughtest kings to destruction, and honorable men from their bed:
Who heardest the rebuke of the Lord in Sinai, and in Horeb the judgment of vengeance:
Who annointedst kings to take revenge, and prophets to succeed after him: Who was taken up in a whirlwind of fire, and in a chariot of fiery horses: Who wast ordained for reproofs in their times, to pacify the wrath of the Lord's judgment, before it brake forth into fury, and to turn the heart of the father unto the son, and to restore the tribes of Jacob. Blessed are they that saw thee, and slept in love; for we shall surely live.

Man breaking and Slave Making 2011

Revelation 19:19

And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.

Wisdom of Solomon 1

For God made not death: neither hath he pleasure in the destruction of the living. For he created all things, that they might have their being: and the generations of the world were healthful; and there is no poison of destruction in them, nor the kingdom of death upon the earth: (For righteousness is immortal:) But ungodly men with their works and words called it to them: for when they thought to have it their friend, they consumed to nought, and made a covenant with it, because they are worthy to take part with it.

Wisdom of Solomon 5

He shall take to him his jealousy for complete armour, and make the creature his weapon for the revenge of his enemies. He shall put on righteousness as a breastplate, and true judgment instead of an helmet. He shall take holiness for an invincible shield. His severe wrath shall he sharpen for a sword, and the world shall fight with him against the unwise. Then shall the right aiming thunderbolts go abroad; and from the clouds, as from a well drawn bow, shall they fly to the mark. And hailstones full of wrath shall be cast as out of a stone bow, and the water of the sea shall rage against them, and the floods shall cruelly drown them. Yea, a mighty wind shall stand up against them, and like a storm shall blow them away: thus iniquity shall lay waste the whole earth, and ill dealing shall overthrow the thrones of the mighty.

Consistent traits of the jezebel spirit. (Picture Elijah confronting Jezebel 850 b.c)

A few of the characteristics of the powerful age old demonic spirit known as jezebel. This spirit born of witchcraft and rebellion operates in both women and men. 1. Refuses to admit guilt or wrong
A Jezebel spirit is never wrong, unless it is a temporary admittance of guilt to gain "favor" with someone. To accept responsibility would violate the core of insecurity and pride from which it operates.
2. Takes credit for everything
While a strong trait of Jezebel is to never take responsibility for his wrong actions or behavior, he also is quick to take credit for benefits for which he contributed no effort.
3. Uses people to accomplish its agenda
The Jezebel spirit lets others do its dirty work. The Jezebel gets another person's emotions stirred up, then lets that person go into a rage. The Jezebel sits back looking innocent, saying "Who me? What did I do?" This behavior makes it difficult for even the most ardent truth seekers to pin one down. The Jezebel spirit is clever in its agenda.
4. Withholds information
This is a form of control. A Jezebel wields power over you by knowing something you don't know in a situation. In the eyes of a Jezebel, having information you don't have is a powerful weapon of control.
5. Talks in confusion
6. Volunteers for anything
A Jezebel volunteers in order to establish control. 7. Lies
A Jezebel lies convincingly.
8. Ignores people
A classic ploy of a controller is to ignore you when you disagree with him. This tactic is frequently used by leaders when someone doesn't agree with their plans, and they isolate the person by ignoring him.
9. Never gives credit or shows gratitude
10. Criticizes everyone
This is a characteristic of a controller. He has to be the one who looks good, so he will quickly sharply criticize anyone who makes a suggestion or plan. Criticizing others elevates the controller in his own mind. (Source. Steve Sampson. Confronting the spirit of jezebel.)

Love, unity and fellowship what hath separated us so. With every passing second his indignation only grows. In a crecsendo of fury sorrow transforms into wrath. Take heed that you be not on the wrong side of this invincible warpath. For none shall escape and no excuse will do. What will you do cruel and wicked man when they come for you.

Matthew 11:12

The Kingdom of Heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.

Revelation 13

It appears that christians worldwide have been mislead or intentionally decieved as to what the mark of the beast is. For nearly a decade everyone has pushed the idea of a microchip implant. While other more obvious correlations are ignored. The computer and television, satellite technologies fit the description of the image that was given life. www? 666? The use of the right hand to navigate your cursor is universal. The scripture is clear that the worship (using?) of the image could gain you a mark. With the push for computers and televisions in ever home could it be a trojan horse or used as an endtime secret weapon. Every other example of marking or sealing people in scripture is spiritual and not physical. I posted this exact posting on several youtube pages many times and every time it was immediatley taken down. They do not censor useless, baseless or irrelevant information. With the frightening and sobering thought of lost souls I think the topic needs to be studied and discussed more fervently. Luke 16:8 The children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light. Imagine christians especially losing their souls because they were looking for a stupid microchip while being marked unknowingly.

Unforgiven

New blood joins this earth, and quickly he's subdued. Through constant pained disgrace. The young boy learns their rules. With time the child draws in, This whipping boy done wrong. Deprived of all his thoughts. The young man struggles on and on he's known. A vow unto his own. That never from this day. His will they'll take away. They dedicate their lives to running all of his. He tries to please them all. This bitter man he is. Throughout his life the same. He's battled constantly. This fight he cannot win. A tired man they see no longer cares. The old man then prepares to die regretfully. That old man here is me. YOU LABELED ME. I'LL LABEL YOU. SO I DUB THEE UNFORGIVEN. Metallica unforgiven lyrics.

Happy New Year!!

I turned on the t.v. and quickly turned it off in disgust. Friends of the world celebrate while friends of GOD mourn and cry. They laugh and rejoice but who can understand why. Do they marvel and worship their technological triumphs or a society rid of him. If only they could see their future is so incredibly grim. For "friendship with the world is enmity with GOD." So encourage and strengthen yourselves for your creator is your foe. You have all gathered together to fight GOD and you don't even know. 12/31/2011

No Greater Love. John 15:13

Like a sailboat without any wind. So sadly I have lost another dear friend. You risked and sacrificed so much for seemingly so little. "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man shall lay down his life for his friends." You answered GOD'S call without hesitation or fear. Our time together is forever cherished and dear. Where will life's incredible journey lead us and will our paths ever cross again. GOD only knows but let us be faithful and true until the end. I will always love you my friend.

"Being now surrounded with the Black Regiment, whose Commander is the Devil, and the whole legion consisting of the imaginations of the whole creation, I have no way to escape this Camp and bottomlesse gulf, but by breaking through the Bulwark and strong hold fortified against me. So that being armed with a weapon of Majesty, I doubt not but that God in me shall cast down those strong holds and imaginations, yea every thing that exalteth itself against the Power of the most high." Clarkson

BEHOLD!!!

Behold I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD. And he shall turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, LEST I come and smite the earth with a curse. Malachi 4: 5-6

And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and THEY SHALL BE GIVEN into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. daniel 7:25 And it was GIVEN unto him to make WAR with the SAINTS, and to OVERCOME them: and power was given him over all kindreds and toungues and nations. rev 13:7 When he shall have accomplished to SCATTER the POWER of the Holy people all these things shall be finished. daniel 12:7

Distractions

I turned off the t.v. and looked out the window to see a beautiful expression of life unnoticed. Waterdrops on green leaves, squirrels trying to stay dry and redbirds flying high. Does anyone else feel his jealousy for our time, attention and affections? What have we been distracted from and why. Can our technology compete with a wise master teacher able to orchestrate and conduct an infinite symphony of creation? If we were created for fellowship and intimate relations with him I fear the solution to the growing separation problem will be grim. So I will give myself to study lost lessons learned in life. Complex riddles and hidden mysteries laid before us by an eternal loving creator.

Desperation

With my armour bearer's and fortresses so suddenly gone, my strength grows weak and it's tough to continue on. Open and prone to unrelentless attacks this is true.With defenses failing and all essential reinforcments now removed, what in GOD's name am I ever to do. While others gather and strengthen themselves I and I stand alone. Shrouded in darkness my end what shall it be. With hope, faith and courage I will patiently wait and see.

Heartbreak

I once knew a lady both beautiful and brave. A real life princess stumbled on out of place. The fairest of 1,000 on any given day. Her hair red as rubies and her skin milky white. She moves with more grace than 10,000 on any given night. If you find this lost treasure try and hold on tight. For trust me when I say one like this only comes once in a life.

If we leave him alone

John 11:47 Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles. 48 If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation. 53Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to death.

Acts 20:35 I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive. 1 Thessalonians 5:14 Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.

Got Accusation?

Satan is called the “accuser of the brethren” seeking to uphold his influence among men by bringing false charges against Christians, with the view of weakening their influence and injuring the cause with which they are identified. (Easton's bible dictionary). Revelation 12:10,11 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

The Gaslight Effect.

Gaslighting is a form of psychological abuse in which false information is presented to the victim with the intent of making them doubt their own memory and perception. It may simply be the denial by an abuser that previous abusive incidents ever occurred, or it could be the staging of bizarre events by the abuser with the intention of disorienting the victim. The term derives from the 1938 stage play Gas Light. The plot concerns a husband who attempts to drive his wife to insanity by manipulating small elements of their environment, and insisting that she is mistaken or misremembering when she points out these changes. Gaslighting can be very complex, highly structured configuration which encompasses contributions from many elements of the psychic apparatus. (source wikipedia)

Wisdom of Solomon 2

Let our strength be the law of justice: for that which is feeble is found to be nothing worth. Therefore let us lie in wait for the righteous; because he is not for our turn, and he is clean contrary to our doings: he upbraideth us with our offending the law, and objecteth to our infamy the transgressings of our education. He professeth to have the knowledge of God: and he calleth himself the child of the Lord. He was made to reprove our thoughts. He is grievous unto us even to behold: for his life is not like other men's, his ways are of another fashion. We are esteemed of him as counterfeits: he abstaineth from our ways as from filthiness: he pronounceth the end of the just to be blessed, and maketh his boast that God is his father. Let us see if his words be true: and let us prove what shall happen in the end of him. For if the just man be the son of God, he will help him, and deliver him from the hand of his enemies. Let us examine him with despitefulness and torture, that we may know his meekness, and prove his patience. Let us condemn him with a shameful death: for by his own saying he shall be respected. Such things they did imagine, and were deceived: for their own wickedness hath blinded them. As for the mysteries of God, they knew them not: neither hoped they for the wages of righteousness, nor discerned a reward for blameless souls. For God created man to be immortal, and made him to be an image of his own eternity. Nevertheless through envy of the devil came death into the world: and they that do hold of his side do find it.

Psalm 2

Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision. Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.

Roman Candles

In the summer of 64 Rome suffered a terrible fire that burned for six days and seven nights consuming almost three quarters of the city. The emporer Nero who many believe was responsible for the fire blamed the christians of Rome and used it to justify their persecution. As many christians that could be found were rounded up and put to death in the most horrific manner for the amusement of the citizens of Rome. In their very deaths they were made the subjects of sport: He had some sewed up in the skins of wild beasts, and then turned savage dogs loose on them until they were chewed to pieces. Other Christians were dressed in shirts dipped in wax, tied to poles, and set on fire in Nero’s garden.

Nothing worthy of death

Luke 23:14 Said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him: No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him. I will therefore chastise him, and release him. (For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.) And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas: (Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.) Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them. But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him go. And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed. And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required. And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will.

1 Corinthians 2:14

But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Not by might, nor by power

Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts. Zechariah 4:6

" Somewhere a queen is weeping. Somewhere a king has no wife." J.H.

Thy Words.

But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. matthew 12:36.37

The Condemnation

And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. John 3:19

Influence without accountability is the core of corruption and cowardice.

John 3:7,8

Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

The world was not worthy

Hebrews 11:36 And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment: They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented; (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.

2 Peter 3:9,10

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. 2 Thessalonians1:7And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power.
