When it comes to finances are we a "fool for Jesus" or are we a "fool for finances?"
I know, I've been there and I am on the way back.
First Principles in Biblical Stewardship
I. God Owns It All.
'The silver is mine and the gold is mine,' declares the LORD Almighty. -- Haggai 2:8
I have no need of a bull from your stall or of goats from your pens, for every animal of the forest is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills. -- Psalms 50:9-10
A. He created it.
By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible. -- Hebrews 11:3
B. He redeemed it.
Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body. -- 1 Corinthians 6:19-20
II. God Makes It Happen Not You.
But remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your forefathers, as it is today. -- Deuteronomy 8:18
For who makes you different from anyone else? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not? -- 1 Corinthians 4:7
Look at the birds of the air they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? -- Matthew 6:26
Why go into business? Standard answer: so I can make money!
Stop worrying. Have you ever seen a worried bird?
Yes, work hard but trust God for the results.
III. God Trusts It To The Faithful.
"His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!' -- Matthew 25:21
Moreover it is required in stewards that one be found faithful. -- 1 Corinthians 4:2
We are stewards not owners of God's resources.
Now that we know what business we are in, how is business?
IV.God Will Hold Us Accountable In The End.
"Then the man who had received the one talent came. 'Master,' he said, 'I knew that you are a hard man, harvesting where you have not sown and gathering where you have not scattered seed. So I was afraid and went out and hid your talent in the ground. See, here is what belongs to you.' "His master replied, 'You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed? Well then, you should have put my money on deposit with the bankers, so that when I returned I would have received it back with interest. "'Take the talent from him and give it to the one who has the ten talents. For everyone who has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him. And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.' -- Matthew 25:24-30
Notice it was the servant that got one talent that screwed up, not the one he gave five to.
V. God Wants Us To Earn It His Way.
A. No dishonesty
The wicked borrow and do not repay, but the righteous give generously -- Psalms 37:21
*Over use of credit leading to bankruptcy
The LORD abhors dishonest scales, but accurate weights are his delight. -- Proverbs 11:1
*Overcharging clients for the work performed
saying, "When will the New Moon be over that we may sell grain, and the Sabbath be ended that we may market wheat?"-- skimping the measure, boosting the price and cheating with dishonest scales, -- Amos 8:5
False product promises e.g.
paid for 8 hours only worked 5 hours
padding expense accounts
B. Honestly
Dishonest money dwindles away, but he who gathers money little by little makes it grow. -- Proverbs 13:11
An inheritance quickly gained at the beginning will not be blessed at the end. -- Proverbs 20:21
By Working:
Then I realized that it is good and proper for a man to eat and drink, and to find satisfaction in his toilsome labor under the sun during the few days of life God has given him--for this is his lot. Moreover, when God gives any man wealth and possessions, and enables him to enjoy them, to accept his lot and be happy in his work--this is a gift of God. -- Ecclesiastes 5:18-19
He who works his land will have abundant food, but the one who chases fantasies will have his fill of poverty. -- Proverbs 28:19
By Business:
Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you, -- 1 Thessalonians 4:11
By Saving:
In the house of the wise are stores of choice food and oil, but a foolish man devours all he has. -- Proverbs 21:20
Ants are creatures of little strength, yet they store up their food in the summer -- Proverbs 30:25
By Planning:
Any enterprise is built by wise planning, becomes strong through common sense, and profits wonderfully by keeping abreast of the facts.-- Proverbs 24:3
VI. God Wants Us To Spend It Wisely
A. Know where you stand.
Be sure you know the condition of your flocks, give careful attention to your herds -- Proverbs 27:23
B. Decide how much is enough.
I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. -- Philippians 4:12
C. Plan & Control your spending.
A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it. -- Proverbs 22:3
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. -- Galatians 5:22-23
D. Decide on right Priorities. Some suggested right priorities:
Finish your outdoor work and get your fields ready; after that, build your house -- Proverbs 24:27.
i. Family:
But anyone who won't care for his own relatives when they need help, especially those living in his own family, has no right to say he is a Christian. Such a person is worse than the heathen. -- 1 Timothy 5:8
ii. Pay your debts:
When she told the prophet what had happened, he said to her, "Go and sell the oil and pay your debt, and there will be enough money left for you and your sons to live on!" -- 2 Kings 4:7
iii. Provide for those in need.
But if someone who is supposed to be a Christian has money enough to live well, and sees a brother in need, and won't help him--how can God's love be within him ? -- 1 John 3:17
VII. God Wants Us To Give It Generously.
A. OT Pattern:
1. Pay your Tithes: (Obligations).
First ten percent to Levites. (Leviticus 27:30)
Second ten percent to provide for the festivals. (Deut. 12)
Third ten percent every three years for the poor. (Deut 14:28)
B. Offerings: (Freewill)
For building the Tabernacle/Temple (Exo 35:39) (Ezra 1:4)
For general giving (2 Chron 31:14)
For helping those in need. (Est. 9:22)
OT Principle:
Obligations were a requirement of the law
Giving done willingly from the heart
NT Pattern:
A. Pay your Obligations
Taxes (Matt. 17:24-27)
Debts (Rom 13:8)
Giving Commitments (2 Cor 9:5)
B. Give Freely & Generously from the Heart
Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you. -- Matthew 5:42
Giving is not an option in Christ's Kingdom. (It is material as well as time)
Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. -- 2 Cor 9:6 NIV
C. Giving is to be generous.
Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. -- 2 Corinthians 9:7
Giving is to be done cheerfully whatever you decide .
Now about the collection for God's people: Do what I told the Galatian churches to do. On the first day of every week, each one of you should set aside a sum of money in keeping with his income, saving it up, so that when I come no collections will have to be made. - 2 Corinthians 16:1-2
Planned & According to your income.
Out of the most severe trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity. For I testify that they gave as much as they were able, and even beyond their ability. Entirely on their own, 2 Corinthians 8:2-3
Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a fraction of a penny. Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, "I tell you the truth, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything--all she had to live on." -- Mark 12:41-44
How much? Give until it hurts.
NT Principle:
Requirements of the Law all met in Christ. Giving is not under the law but is still a matter of obedience.
Still have some obligations you must meet (pertaining to Government, to the church or to those you have freely entered into.)
Otherwise, you are free to give wholeheartedly at any amount as God has prospered you.
The Biblical Principle
Honor the LORD with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine. -- Proverbs 3:9-10
If you value God in your life you will be giving as a natural _expression of your love and devotion to Him.
Do not offer to the LORD the blind, the injured or the maimed, or anything with warts or festering or running sores. Do not place any of these on the altar as an offering made to the LORD by fire. -- Leviticus 22:22
Are you giving God what is first or what is left over?
Conclusion: Treasure in Heaven & A Crown that will last.
When Jesus heard this, he said to him, "You still lack one thing. Sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." -- Luke 18:22
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. -- 1 Corinthians 9:25
Q. What shall we do with our treasure in heaven, with our crown?
A. Worship Christ.
Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne and who lives for ever and ever, the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne, and worship him who lives for ever and ever. They lay their crowns before the throne and say: -- Revelation 4:9-10
Part 2 - Practical Applications in Biblical Stewardship
The Trust --- Life Capital: All that we are and have (including finances.)
Matthew 25:14-30: Well Done, Good & Faithful Steward!
The Contrast: Faithful Steward verses Unfaithful Steward
Moreover it is required in stewards that one be found faithful. -- 1 Corinthians 4:2
Practicing the Principles of Biblical Stewardship
I. Take Stock of your Life Capital
Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. (Psalm 90:12 NIV)
Keep the end in mind.
"But God said to him, 'You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?' (Luke 12:20 NIV)
If God demanded an accounting of your life this night, what would be your fate?
Practical Application: Organizing Your Finances must be done in the context of Organizing You Life!
Life Vision Statement
What is the vision?
What are your roles?
What are your core values?
What are your goals?
Inventory of Skills, Abilities, Knowledge, Character Attributes/Weaknesses & Spiritual Gifting
What are your God given abilities?
What life skills have you acquired?
What education do you have?
What are your Character strengths & weaknesses
What is your Spiritual Gifting?
Financial & Legal Inventory
What are your material assets?
What are your material liabilities?
What is your bottom line net worth?
Do you have a Will?
Do you have Life Insurance?
Do you have Disability Insurance?
II. Put your Life Capital to Work: Sow your Seed.
I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. The man who loves his life will lose it, while the man who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. (John 12:24 NIV)
Sow your life to the glory of God and you will reap eternal results.
Practical Application:
A Life Plan:
How does your Life Vision Statement translate into practical goals?
Do you have a calendar of when you will do what?
What tasks do you have to undertake to accomplish these goals?
How will you know when you have achieved your goals?
Goals must be SMART: Specific; Measurable; Achievable; Realistic; Time Limited.
A Career Plan: What are your Employment Goals?
Do you have a plan to advance in your present employment?
What experience do you need for advancement?
What education do you need for advancement?
A Financial Plan: What are your Financial Goals?
Annual Income
Debt Reduction
Tax Reduction
Home Equity
Investments for Growth
Charitable Giving
Retirement Savings
Emergency Savings
Children's Educational Savings
Inheritance
A Family Budget: How are you going to implement your Financial Plan?
What are your expenses?
What is your revenue?
How are you doing?
Have you decided how much is enough?
What are your plans for the excess?
Are you saving or getting further behind?
III. Finish Well: Well Done! Good & Faithful Servant!
"His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!' (Matthew 25:21 NIV)
Faithfulness (even in the small matters) will be rewarded with praise and will result in fruitfulness & joy.
"His master replied, 'You wicked, lazy servant! So you knew that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed? Well then, you should have put my money on deposit with the bankers, so that when I returned I would have received it back with interest. "'Take the talent from him and give it to the one who has the ten talents. For everyone who has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him. And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.' (Matthew 25:26-30 NIV)
Wickedness (Sin) & Slothfulness (Unbelief) are evidence for unfaithfulness.
Unfaithfulness will cause loss, spiritually as well as financially.
Unfaithfulness will be rewarded with condemnation and will result in sorrow and regret.
Practical Application:
Focus: What is the one thing you can do well? · Faith: How intimate is your relationship with Christ? · Friendship: Who can you be accountable to? · Discipline: Do you have the discipline to do what is important and to finish the job? · Learner: Do you have a positive learning attitude?
Conclusion: Finish Faithfully
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. (2 Timothy 4:7 NIV)
It's not a matter of whether you win or loose, it is how you play the game - faithfully.
If an investor needs Christian financial help should they hire a Christian Financial Planner? Yes! The main reason is because the investor and advisor are both Christians, they share similar values. The advisor understands Biblical principles such as tithing, budgeting, saving, investing and giving. After the initial interview process of numerous financial related questions, the financial advisor can identify areas of improvement for the client.
Npw if your a person whom had to live on Social Security Benefits with them giving you :Medicare, or Medicade for the rest of your natural born life. There are other factors that happenes to a person when having to live on it and thier guideline and they will limit a persons income to thier estimated rates of what a person had earned when they worked. And if you are disabled this is what they do go by in getting help from them.Learn About Social Security Programs
Prepare for your financial needs Your Social Security benefits are the foundation on which you can build a secure retirement. The three major elements of your retirement portfolio are:
Benefits from pensions,
Savings and investments, and
Social Security benefits.
Most financial advisors say you'll need about 70 percent of your pre-retirement earnings to comfortably maintain your pre-retirement standard of living. If you have average earnings, your Social Security retirement benefits will replace only about 40 percent. The percentage is lower for people in the upper income brackets and higher for people with low incomes. You'll need to supplement your benefits with a pension, savings or investments.
To help you plan for retirement, each year we send you your personal Social Security Statement, which gives you an estimate of the monthly benefit amounts you and your family may qualify for now and in the future. If you've received your Social Security Statement and have questions about it, visit the My Statement website.
We also provide a Benefits Planner to help in the event of disability or loss of your family’s wage earner.
Factors that may affect your retirement benefits Your benefit amount is based on your earnings averaged over most of your working career. Higher lifetime earnings result in higher benefits. If you have some years of no earnings or low earnings, your benefit amount may be lower than if you had worked steadily.
Your benefit amount also is affected by your age at the time you start receiving benefits. If you start your retirement benefits at age 62 (the earliest possible retirement age) your benefit will be lower than if you wait until your full retirement age.
If you are self-employed Self-employed people must report their earnings and pay the taxes directly to the IRS. You are self-employed if you operate a trade, business or profession, either by yourself or as a partner.
You report your earnings for Social Security when you file your federal income tax return. If your net earnings are $400 or more in a year, you must report your earnings on IRS Schedule SE for Social Security purposes, in addition to the other tax forms you must file.
If you work for a federal, state or local government If you work for a federal, state or local government where you do not pay Social Security taxes, the pension you receive from that agency may reduce any Social Security benefits for which you are qualified. There are two factors that may reduce your benefits.
The first factor affects the way your Social Security retirement or disability benefits are figured. Our Windfall Elimination Provision fact sheet provides answers to questions you may have about this provision.
The second factor affects Social Security benefits you receive as a spouse or widow/widower. Our Government Pension Offset fact sheet provides answers to questions you may have about this provision.
You can get more information on our website for Federal, State & Local Government Employees.
If you work outside the United States If you work outside the United States (U.S.) for an American company or, in some cases, an affiliate company of an American company, you and your employer may have to pay Social Security taxes on the same earnings to both the U.S. and the foreign country. But, if you work in one of the agreement countries shown in our fact sheet, How International Agreements Can Help You:
Your Social Security coverage will be assigned to either the U.S. or the foreign country, and
You and your employer don't have to pay taxes to both countries.
You can get more information about work outside the U.S. on our International Programs website.
Prepare for your medical needs Medicare is a health insurance plan for people who are 65 or older and people who are disabled or have permanent kidney failure. Medicare has three parts—hospital insurance, medical insurance and prescription drug coverage. Most people have all three parts.
Hospital insurance, sometimes called Part A, covers inpatient hospital care and certain follow-up care. You already paid for it as part of your Social Security taxes while you were working.
Medical insurance, sometimes called Part B, pays for physicians' services and some other services not covered by hospital insurance. Medical insurance is optional, and you must pay monthly premiums.
Prescription drug coverage, sometimes called Part D, pays for prescription drugs. Prescription drug coverage is optional, and you must pay monthly premiums. However, you also may be able to get extra help paying the monthly premiums, annual deductible and prescription co-payments.
If you are already getting Social Security benefits when you turn 65, your Medicare (Part A) starts automatically. If you are not getting Social Security, you should sign up for Medicare close to your 65th birthday, even if you aren't ready to retire. For more information, see our Medicare booklet.
Although Social Security determines entitlement to Medicare benefits, the Medicare program is administered by a different agency, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). There also is a Medicare Web site. You can call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227) to speak to a Medicare Customer Service Representative. TTY users should call 1-877-486-2048.
There is people that are limited to what, where, when,how they are to spend there mone and often times enough it just doesen't go far at all. They would like to have things to buy in one's life like a newer car, nicer clothes, items that could help them in homes to update it to where it's not shabby, or years that have torn down when people wanted to make it look nice for when people come to visit. nicer inside porches with screens in windows to keep the incets away or to shad them from the heat with airconditioners. But it can't get done with being on such an low- income thaat comes to them. It's just not going to happen . And often times when people whom had jobs in the past has many people being so very rude to them about it that don't have it today in these times. Some of them had emplyers that didn't take out social security benefits out on them, and when they had found this out then it was to late for them to sue them because they had went and died on them after thy had to go on disability. So things have happened to the people to which if people would take the time to hear why things happened to them in stead of ridiculing them then just maybe people could get along much better. But they are to busy with thier own plans and designs to find out anything about people in general whom are on the state income levels. Then we have to alway's rob peter to pay paul to try to make it with high bills that the state goverment offical raises yearly and we just stay the same on a peeny rates of incomes. Plus have the goverment high ranking officals taking it and spending it for one's own agendas which don't help us as a whole whom had to live on it. That's what burns us up because of those types of things going on. We arn't like those millionairs that have high rolling dollars and cents that just don't care about people like us whom have to go to places for help every month and beg for everything we try to achieve and then get turned down alot because of the statment that goes like this " I'm sorry we now it closed for you because it's now winter or summer" and you have to try to have family members to help you . Because we can't get grants in here because of the seasonal change now ! Yea, right ! thanks but No ! thanks ! anyway's .there countless of people like self out in this world whom are just like me whom deals with that stinkin RED tape day after day and year after year! And people either gets mad or they just don't care about people and alway's have agenda's of thier own demises. We the people alway's puts up with that kind of thinking daily and yearly. And we are alway's look down upon by people with money and have large bank accounts or the lower middle people whom work for a living that acts just like people with large amounts of money , they act like each other and it just doesn't stop for the low- income people at all. They just don't stop and think that we have had jobs and have worked for our money at one time and this is what we are left with now. The only thing that saves us , churches, counsling, and most of Jesus Christ with being on our knees alot . for that knowledge I'm greatful to know he cares for all people and he wants us just the same.He loves all people No matter what, where, how, when we became his people at any time day or night. He don't talk about us in a decitful way, nor ridicul,or gossip about his people or say negitive things at all ! And as far as paying bills they sure are rude to people like us because some of us just can't get any kind of help to keep it paid in full all of the time because of the limited rescourses that are out there for us and we often time get shut - off because of this stuff that hurts us in the families or single people in general, elderly. Some of us just hates asking people to help us out!because we can't get the money back to them and it hurts us so very much just to ask people. Yes, some people take advantage of people and it hurts other's whom truly do need that help in this world and that really hurts people whom are really trying to do good in one's own life. It like a no - win solution for many of us in this world. It just ticks our backsides when we hear those things and they wonder why people like us lives in the streets. that's why for some of us in having to have this types of things happens tous all the time. I often wonder in my heart is what will people of money going to do when they actually meet Jesus Chrit comes judgement day and hears what He has to say to people whom does stuff like I have explained right noe this very moment. What will thier answer be ? That will between them and Jesus Christ only at that particular moment and time for all individuals. People like us just can't affor new cars, nice yards, new decks, sheds to put things in to get them out of the home, food, heat, better windows, screens, front doors,back doors,alarms systems, new furniture, kitchen stuff, landscaping, swimming pools. But the rich sure can and have it done more than the low-income people can even count in one's life. let alone having a fancy dinner out where most people go with money that leaves tips for those whom waits on them when they arrive in making a reserve a table etc. It's just not there for us at all.let alone might as well getting gas for a nice vacation either just to get away for a spell.some people just can't do it at all ! so this is how it truly is for the majority of us whom has to live like this. I hope you all have a fine life and by the way may God Bless Each of you. catcmo2006
If you are already receiving disability or survivors benefits when you apply for retirement If you are receiving disability benefits when you reach full retirement age, nothing will change, except that your benefits will be called retirement benefits instead of disability benefits.
If you are receiving survivors benefits and you also are eligible for your own higher retirement benefits, you can switch from survivors to retirement benefits as early as age 62. (In many cases, widows/widowers can begin receiving one benefit at a reduced rate and switch to the other benefit at an unreduced rate at full retirement age.) However, if you switch, you will be paid only the higher of the two benefits, not both.
What you need to know ...

Gog...MAGOG
Gog... MAGOG Ezekiel .38:1-23Ezekiel describes a coaltion of Nations that will make a final assult on Isreal after the people's restoration to their homeland, attempting to destory the nation and possess the land.The leader of this nations is named Amalek the grandson of Essau and dwelt as a Nomadic people in Negev, Isreal's first encountered their first military at "Rephidim in the wilderness. (Ex.17:8-13; Deut.25:17,18). The result of this seige God had them pegged as doomed (Num.17:14). "Gog" is render name as "Agag" and "Og"[Num.27:14;Deut.3:1). The proper name and title for them is: Enemies of God's people... that carries the idea "high" or "supreme one" based on the comparsion in (Num.24:7). It's described as a "Prince in the land of Magog who is the final anti-christ. This will in tell of the final world up-rising against Jerusalem, and their Messiah King. It's coming from all of the 4 cornors of the world. The weapons used: Divine Fire !
This Big Picture is forn in the Holy Bible: 1: And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2: Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
3: And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
4: And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
5: Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
6: Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.
7: Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8: After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
9: Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.
10: Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
11: And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12: To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.
13: Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?
14: Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it?
15: And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army:
16: And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.
17: Thus saith the Lord GOD; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them?
18: And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face.
19: For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;
20: So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.
21: And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man's sword shall be against his brother.
22: And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.
23: Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD.
The Bottomline:T he army and malice of Gog. (1-13) God's judgments. (14-23)
These events will be in in the latter days. It is supposed these enemies will come together to invade the land of Judea, and God will defeat them. God not only sees who are now the enemies of his church, but he foresees who will be so, and lets them know by his word that he is against them; though they join together, the wicked shall not be unpunished. The enemy should make a formidable descent upon the land of Israel. When Israel dwell safely under the Divine protection, shalt not thou be made to know it by finding that endeavours to destroy them are made in vain? Promises of security are treasured up in the word of God, against the troubles and dangers the church may be brought into in the latter days. In the destruction of sinners, God makes it appear that he is a great and holy God. We should desire and pray daily. Father, glorify thine own name.
Praying this for self and all other's whom will pray as well in each own lives:
Heavenly Father,I bow in worship and praise before you. I cover myself with the blood of Jesus Christ and claim the protection of the blood for my family, my finances, my home, my spirit, soul and body. I surrender myself completely in every area of my life to you. I take a stand against all the workings of the devil that would try and hinder me and my family from best serving you. I address myself only to the true and living God who has all power and control over everything. satan, I command you and all your demon forces of darkness, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ to leave my presence. I bring the blood of Jesus Christ between the devil and my family, my home, my finances, my spirit, soul and body. In Jesus NameI declare, therefore, that satan and his wicked spirits are subject to me in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Furthermore, in my own life today I destroy and tear down all the strongholds of satan and smash the plans of satan that have been formed against me and my family. I tear down the strongholds of the devil against my mind and I surrender my mind to you, Blessed Holy Spirit.I affirm, Heavenly Father, that you have not given me the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). Therefore, I resist the spirit of fear, in the name of Jesus, the Son of the Living God, and I refuse to fear, refuse to doubt, refuse to worry, because I have authority (power) over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt me (Luke 10:19).I claim complete and absolute victory over the forces of darkness in the name of Jesus and I bind the devil and command him to loose my peace, joy, prosperity, and every member of my family for the glory of God and by FAITH I call it done. I break and smash the strongholds of Satan formed against my emotions today and give my emotions to you, Lord Jesus. I destroy the strongholds of satan against my body today and I give my body to you Lord Jesus, realizing that I am the Temple of the Holy Ghost (I Corinthians 3:16, I Corinthians 6:19-20).Again, I cover myself with the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ and pray that the Holy Ghost would bring all the work of the crucifixion, all the work of the resurrection, all the work of the ascension and all the work of restoration of the Lord Jesus Christ into my life today. I surrender my life and possessions to you. I refuse to fear, worry, or be discouraged in the name of Jesus. I will not hate, envy, or show any type of bitterness toward my brothers, sisters, or my enemies, but I will LOVE them with the love of God shed aboard in my heart by the Holy Ghost.Open my eyes and show me the areas of my life that do not please you and give me the strength, grace and wisdom to remove any sin or weight that would prevent your close fellowship. Work in me to cleanse me from all ground that would give the devil a foothold against me. I claim in every way the victory of the cross over all satanic forces in my life. I pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ with thanksgiving and I welcome all the ministry of the Holy Spirit. In the name and power of the Blood of Jesus, Amen
. "In the name of Jesus, I bind my body, soul and spirit to the will and purposes of my God. I bind myself to an awareness of the power of the blood of Jesus working in my life everyday. I bind my mind to the mind of Christ that I can have the thoughts, purposes and feelings of His heart in me. I bind my feet to the paths You have ordained for me to walk in lord, that my steps will be strong and steady. I bind myself to the work of the cross with all of its mercy, truth, love, power, forgiveness and dying to self." In Jesus Name, Amen "Heavenly Father, I see that it is through Your Word that I have access to wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. So I covenant with You to always give voice to Your Word. I will not allow my voice to speak the words of the enemy. I will give him no place in my life. But I give place to Your Word and Your Spirit. For You have given the angels charge over me and they keep me in all my ways.I boldly proclaim that I'm redeemed from the curse of the law. I'm delivered from the authority of darkness and have been translated into the Kingdom of your dear Son. The Greater One dwells in me, and I have made Your Word my foundation. Therefore, I will not fall, neither shall I fail.Your Word will cause me to prevail. Even though a thousand may fall at my side and ten thousand at my right hand, it shall not come near me, for You've given Your angels charge over me. They keep me in all my ways. In my pathway is life, healing, and prosperity, for Abraham's blessings are mine!Christ has redeemed me from poverty, sickness, and spiritual death. Therefore, I boldly confess that I am the redeemed of the Lord!Heavenly Father, because of Your Word, I forbid any sickness or disease from operating in my body. My body is the temple of the Holy Ghost.Body, I'm speaking to you! I charge you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the authority of His Holy Word to be healed and made whole in Jesus' Name. That which God has not planted is dissolved and is rooted out in Jesus' Name!Galatians 3:13 is in my mouth. Galatians 3:13 is flowing in my bloodstream. 1 Peter 2:24 is causing my body to conform to Your Word. Your Word is transforming my body, because You sent Your Word and healed me. (Psalms 107:20)Father, Your Word is transforming my body, causing growths to disappear and sickness to flee. Arthritis is a thing of the past. My bones and joints function properly in Jesus' Name! The Spirit of God is upon me, and the Word of God is within me. Therefore, I will fear no evil for Your Word and Your Spirit comfort me.I'm far from oppression and fear does not come near me. No weapon formed against me will prosper, but whatever I do WILL PROSPER! This is my heritage given to me of the Lord, and my righteousness is of Him! (Isaiah 54:14,17; Psalm 1:3)Heavenly Father, I covenant with You to voice Your Word so that the Holy Spirit within me will guide me into all truth. I see these things belong to me. I proclaim that they are mine! I will not be deceived, and the enemy will not steal what you have given.I boldly declare that I will walk in prosperity. I will walk in health, for Your Word abides within me. The Greater One is in me, and He will put me over.Even though many may fall by my side, I will continue to proclaim that it shall not come near me. I loose the angels, the ministering spirits, and charge them with Your Words to garrison about my home, my family, my finances, and guide me with the wisdom of God.Heavenly Father, You keep me in perfect peace, for my mind is stayed on You. The battle is Yours so I'll not enter the fight, but I'll lift up my head and rejoice! I'll stand to the true height of Your Word, and not let it out of my sight!I confess that I have perfect knowledge of every situation. I do not lack for the wisdom of God, for I have the mind of Christ. The wisdom of God is formed within me, so I rejoice knowing that the enemy is defeated! God is exalted, and Your Word (Jesus) is Lord in my life!Father, I covenant with You to be what You say I am. Even though I may not look like it. I may not always act like it. I may not even feel like it, but Your Word said that I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus!I have overcome the world, the flesh, and the devil, because the Greater One is in me! Faith is the victory, and it comes from Your Word. So I rejoice! I won't weep in despair. I won't wring my hands and weep in prayer.But I'll come boldly to the Throne of Grace rejoicing, my petition to bare. I'll enter into the new way, and I'll speak the things that You say. I'll walk in victory, and I'll praise Your Name, and from this day, I'll never be the same.In Jesus Precious Name, Amen“May you grant me out of the rich treasury of Your glory to be strengthened and reinforced with mighty power in my inner man by the Holy Spirit Himself dwelling in my innermost being and personality. Thank you that through my faith you actually dwell in my heart! May I be rooted deep in love and founded securely’ on love, that I may have the power and be strong to apprehend and grasp with all the saints the experience of that love, what is the breadth and length and height and depth of it; that I may really come to know practically, through experience for myself , the love of Christ which far surpasses mere knowledge without experience; that I may be filled through all my being unto all the fullness of God, that I may have the richest measure of Your divine presence, and become a body wholly filled and flooded with God Himself! Now to You, who by the power that is at work within me , are able to carry out Your purpose and do super-abundantly far over and above all I dare ask or think infinitely beyond my highest prayers, thoughts, hopes or dreams - to You be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations for ever and ever. In Jesus Name, Amen”

The Trouble Pile
"Where do you go today, old man,
With that great load there, on your back?"
The old man just grumbled as he hobbled a long
Holding Tight to the bulging sack.
"I say, old man" cried the boy again
"Do you carry a sack of gold?"
"Nay, lad" the old man whispered,
"Tis just troubles -- that's all I hold."
"This sack I've carried, all my life
Each trouble I've had is here.
They've grown till now, my back grows bent
With every passing year.
There's grief and pain, there's hurt and woe,
There are trials and sins galore
But I'm going now to the trouble pile
and I won't pack these no more."
The boy looked up with a troubled glance.
"Tell me, what's the trouble pile?
I'd like to know, and while we talk
You can sit and rest a while."
"I lack the time" the old man said,
I've got to rush along.
I want to get to the trouble pile
'Fore the little troubles are gone.
"You see, it's a place where all can go
To trade troubles great and small
You can leave yours there and pick new ones up.
Why, I'll trade 'till I've none at all."
The boy glanced down at his twisted leg,
And he blinked to hold back a tear.
"Could I trade this leg for a good one" he asked,
"If the trouble pile was here?"
"Of course, you could" the old man was gruff.
"But there's still a long way to go.
I've got to hurry or I'll be late,
And crippled you'd be too slow."
So the boy sat down and watched the man,
Disappear in the morning light,
The hours wore on and still he watched
As the day moved on to night.
At last, there in the distance,
The old man walked tall and strong,
A bulging sack still on his back,
But on his lips, a song.
"I see you trader, mister,
You lost your heavy load"
His little voice grew wistful
As he looked back down the road.
The old man grinned and tossed his bag
With a thud, in the dusty track.
And he smiled a smile at the little boy
As he sat and leaned lazily back.
"Now, I'll tell you, lad, though you'll not believe --
But that sack is the same as I had.
When I saw the troubles of other folks,
I found mine not half so bad.
Sure, I've hardly got a trouble now,
And I'll tell you something too --
If you could see that trouble pile,
You'd keep that bad leg too.
Cause I've done a bit of thinking
As I walked along the way.
And if we worked hard on that leg of yours
It would grow straight and strong to stay,
"Now I've really nothing much to do
And a crutch I could make for a start."
Then he hugged the boy to hide a tear,
And the joy in an old man's heart.
So the boy and the man worked together,
From morning to the last light of day,
And the twisted leg finally was straightened,
And the boy could soon run and play.
It was then the old man knew he must leave,
And again he shouldered his sack,
But no longer did it bulge with his troubles --
It just hung there loose on his back!
For while he was helping another.
His own troubles faded away,
He had truly found the trouble pile,
It's there if you look for the way.

Isreal In God's Plan
Isreal In God's Plan 
Here in the Word of God we see tht Apostle Paul doess address all of the past things of Isreal [Elections], to thier present [Rejection] of the Gospel and thier future Salvation. Alot of there questions was this: How could God's Promises to Abraham and the Nation of Isreal remain valid while the Nation Of Isreal as a whole seems to have No part in the Gospel? Let's look deeply with in some chapters and verses and see just what God has to say about it Himself! We will look in it's contents for ourselves. May The Lord Open our spiritual eyes as wisdom and knowledge prevail deeply with in our own spirits to behold all of the Glory of the Lord as we set our sights on Him. In Jesus'Name we pray. Amen.
First let's look deeply within to look at all of the "Examinations of Isreal's past election. Romans 9:6-296Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:

May The Lord Open our spiritual eyes as wisdom and knowledge prevail deeply with in our own spirits to behold all of the Glory of the Lord as we set our sights on Him. In Jesus'Name we pray. Amen.
First let's look deeply within to look at all of the "Examinations of Isreal's past election. Romans 9:6-296Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:
7Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.
8That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.
9For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sarah shall have a son.
10And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac;
11(For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;)
12It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.
13As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
14What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.
15For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
16So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.
17For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.
18Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.
19Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?
20Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
21Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
22What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:
23And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,
24Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?
25As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.
26And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.
27Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:
28For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.
29And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha. The Bottomline here: In Isreal's past electionsin examinations of Isreal's Past. First of all they had that blessed"Shekinah's Glory Cloud" with them by having the tabernacle going with them on there every move that they had made. Which is No doubt whatsoever that is where our God lived in His most Holy Place being in His own home. In doing that He had poured His Soverignty unto the entire nation of Isreal. God had given them a covenant that is legally binding promise just as a contract that had been given to us by a person in whom we hath made an agreement with in today's time. This had been done 5 times unto them in such an agreement unto the Nation of Isreal. [Gen.9:16;Gal.4:24;Eph.2:12]. Adding it to this statement:"Everlasting Covenant" 1. Abrahamic [Gen.17:7] 2. Priestly [Num.25:10-13] 3. Davidic [2Sam.23:5], 4.New,[Jer.32:40]. "Eternity" can mean: to the end of time, through eternity future. It just Never ever looks back to eternity past.There is an Isreal within Isreal who recieved that promise (Rom.9:14-29). God himself point out to all of us that He can do as He pleases with any individuals and all nations. He has the ultimate rights to reject any nations just as He had done with Isreal if they disobey and He has the right to show mercy to us the Gentiles and offer them salvation if He chooses. [Rom.9:30-10:21] analyzes Isreal's present rejection of the Gospel. Then they themselves failed to totally respond to Jesus Christ .Though they were in deep disbelief and tons of disobedience <>. Even though at the time they had been ignorant both God's inherited righteousness revealed unto them by the laws and the O.T.( It ought to have been shown unto them as a nation and understood it as a nation to which they all had unrighteousness in each self as well so knowledge could help them during those times.The leaders failed to help them in it. There righteousness came by faith to the comformity of all of God's laws and set standards which are very demanding of all of those traditions too. Righteousness occurs in it's own appearance 30 times of which it is the condition of perfectly conforming to God's law and Holy characterin God's inherited righteousness but man fails woefully short of that divine standard of all moral perfections.[Rom.3:23,24). Isreal transgression came by the way of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, an opportunity to proclaim the salvation to all of the world. [Rom.11:7-10;9:31-10:31][Rom.11:11,12,15]. Isreal's national unbelief, the salvation of all individuals, both Jew and Gentile (Rom.10:12,13], depends on faith in Jesus Christ [Rom.11:13-24]. Belief in Jesus Christ by aportion of all national Isreal will take place in the future [Rom.11:25-29]. God and His intended sincere purpose is to have mercy on us all,both Jews, Gentiles, which includes everyone to inherit the Kingdom in whom believes in Jesus Christ [Rom.11:30-36; 10:12,13; 11:20-24]. Several issues is pointed out in these pages of Romans: just isn't primarily on life & death between it pages., It perfers to God in His own right to be choosing in His own dealings of all Individuals that He does have all rights to call and place all of the responsibility on all individuals and nations that He chooses.He touches on prayer and instense sorrow over the Jewish nation knowing they didn't believe and wasn't saved, nor did they even come to realize that they were ordained to go to heaven nor hell before they were born. He had a heart for Isreal is always a deep reflection for them being in His desires oh all of the Jewish nation in uplifting them in his prayers. The significant issue is the faith issue. the lost of the majority of all of those people in Isreal and Gentiles they had not a clue to any kind of spiritual condition inside of them as a person. They were very unwilling to discuss to submit to God's plan for them. But many of the Gentils did come to know Jesus as one's own savior in the faith that they acquired. they had attained God's righteousness by the faith that they had inside of them as a person.We gentils face being cut - off in ones own disobedence and being cut-off from God from salvation today.[Rom.11:20-23]. This Warning is still valid today as it was back then when our Scriptures were written. They will see that they will have full resoration through the acceptance in Jesus Christ the Messiah, this will come at the end of the great tribulation just before God's Return ( Isa.11:10-16;Isa.24:17-24;49:22-26;Jer.31:31-34;Eze.37:12-14;Rom.11:26;Rev.12:6]. We will always be in some sort of traps of which is inscaple in our lives today. Pray and be on guard of what's happening in ones own life. Dont let up and send that disgusting trapper back where he blongs and crush it's head, stomp on him then tell him where he needs to Go! [2Sam.22:6;Job.18:8;10:22;Ps.18:5;64:5;106:36;124:7;Jer.48:43,44;Lam.3:47;Amos 5:19].
Heavenly Father,I bow in worship and praise before you. I cover myself with the blood of Jesus Christ and claim the protection of the blood for my family, my finances, my home, my spirit, soul and body. I surrender myself completely in every area of my life to you. I take a stand against all the workings of the devil that would try and hinder me and my family from best serving you. I address myself only to the true and living God who has all power and control over everything. satan, I command you and all your demon forces of darkness, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ to leave my presence. I bring the blood of Jesus Christ between the devil and my family, my home, my finances, my spirit, soul and body. In Jesus NameI declare, therefore, that satan and his wicked spirits are subject to me in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Furthermore, in my own life today I destroy and tear down all the strongholds of satan and smash the plans of satan that have been formed against me and my family. I tear down the strongholds of the devil against my mind and I surrender my mind to you, Blessed Holy Spirit.I affirm, Heavenly Father, that you have not given me the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). Therefore, I resist the spirit of fear, in the name of Jesus, the Son of the Living God, and I refuse to fear, refuse to doubt, refuse to worry, because I have authority (power) over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt me (Luke 10:19).I claim complete and absolute victory over the forces of darkness in the name of Jesus and I bind the devil and command him to loose my peace, joy, prosperity, and every member of my family for the glory of God and by FAITH I call it done. I break and smash the strongholds of Satan formed against my emotions today and give my emotions to you, Lord Jesus. I destroy the strongholds of satan against my body today and I give my body to you Lord Jesus, realizing that I am the Temple of the Holy Ghost (I Corinthians 3:16, I Corinthians 6:19-20).Again, I cover myself with the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ and pray that the Holy Ghost would bring all the work of the crucifixion, all the work of the resurrection, all the work of the ascension and all the work of restoration of the Lord Jesus Christ into my life today. I surrender my life and possessions to you. I refuse to fear, worry, or be discouraged in the name of Jesus. I will not hate, envy, or show any type of bitterness toward my brothers, sisters, or my enemies, but I will LOVE them with the love of God shed aboard in my heart by the Holy Ghost.Open my eyes and show me the areas of my life that do not please you and give me the strength, grace and wisdom to remove any sin or weight that would prevent your close fellowship. Work in me to cleanse me from all ground that would give the devil a foothold against me. I claim in every way the victory of the cross over all satanic forces in my life. I pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ with thanksgiving and I welcome all the ministry of the Holy Spirit. In the name and power of the Blood of Jesus, Amen

Prophecy Against Edom /Decendents Of Esau
Esau" Edom" Identified as a Cultic Site. The Mountainous Regions occupied by the Edomites, extending along the eastern side of the Arahah from the south - eastern extremity of the dead sea to near the Akabah or the eastern branch of the Red sea. It was orginally occupied by the Horites ( Gen.14:6) whom were driven out by the Edomites ( Gen.32:3;33:14,14,16). It was allotted to the descendants of Esau ( Deut.2:4,22 Jos.24:2; 2Chr.20:10; Isa.21:11; Ezek.25:8). 1: Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2: Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it,
3: And say unto it, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O mount Seir, I am against thee, and I will stretch out mine hand against thee, and I will make thee most desolate.
4: I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.
5: Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast shed the blood of the children of Israel by the force of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time that their iniquity had an end:
6: Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: sith thou hast not hated blood, even blood shall pursue thee.
7: Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it him that passeth out and him that returneth.
8: And I will fill his mountains with his slain men: in thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy rivers, shall they fall that are slain with the sword.
9: I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not return: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
10: Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas the LORD was there:
11: Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will even do according to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou hast used out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I have judged thee.
12: And thou shalt know that I am the LORD, and that I have heard all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to consume.
13: Thus with your mouth ye have boasted against me, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard them.
14: Thus saith the Lord GOD; When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate.
15: As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Idumea, even all of it: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
All who have God against them, have the word of God against them. Those that have a constant hatred to God and his people, as the carnal mind has, can only expect to be made desolate for ever. Ezek.35:1-9. When we see the vanity of the world in the disappointments, losses, and crosses, which others meet with, instead of showing ourselves greedy of worldly things, we should sit more loose to them. In the multitude of words, not one is unknown to God; not the most idle word; and the most daring is not above his rebuke. In the destruction of the enemies of the church, God designs his own glory; and we may be sure that he will not come short of his design. And when the fulness of the Jews and Gentiles shall come into the church, all antichristian opposers shall be destroyed.
Ezek.35:10-15.
1: Also, thou son of man, prophesy unto the mountains of Israel, and say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the LORD:
2: Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because the enemy hath said against you, Aha, even the ancient high places are ours in possession:
3: Therefore prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because they have made you desolate, and swallowed you up on every side, that ye might be a possession unto the residue of the heathen, and ye are taken up in the lips of talkers, and are an infamy of the people:
4: Therefore, ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD; Thus saith the Lord GOD to the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes, and to the cities that are forsaken, which became a prey and derision to the residue of the heathen that are round about;
5: Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the heathen, and against all Idumea, which have appointed my land into their possession with the joy of all their heart, with despiteful minds, to cast it out for a prey.
6: Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel, and say unto the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my fury, because ye have borne the shame of the heathen:
7: Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I have lifted up mine hand, Surely the heathen that are about you, they shall bear their shame.
8: But ye, O mountains of Israel, ye shall shoot forth your branches, and yield your fruit to my people of Israel; for they are at hand to come.
9: For, behold, I am for you, and I will turn unto you, and ye shall be tilled and sown:
10: And I will multiply men upon you, all the house of Israel, even all of it: and the cities shall be inhabited, and the wastes shall be builded:
11: And I will multiply upon you man and beast; and they shall increase and bring fruit: and I will settle you after your old estates, and will do better unto you than at your beginnings: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
12: Yea, I will cause men to walk upon you, even my people Israel; and they shall possess thee, and thou shalt be their inheritance, and thou shalt no more henceforth bereave them of men.
13: Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because they say unto you, Thou land devourest up men, and hast bereaved thy nations;
14: Therefore thou shalt devour men no more, neither bereave thy nations any more, saith the Lord GOD.
15: Neither will I cause men to hear in thee the shame of the heathen any more, neither shalt thou bear the reproach of the people any more, neither shalt thou cause thy nations to fall any more, saith the Lord GOD.
16: Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
17: Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it by their own way and by their doings: their way was before me as the uncleanness of a removed woman.
18: Wherefore I poured my fury upon them for the blood that they had shed upon the land, and for their idols wherewith they had polluted it:
19: And I scattered them among the heathen, and they were dispersed through the countries: according to their way and according to their doings I judged them.
20: And when they entered unto the heathen, whither they went, they profaned my holy name, when they said to them, These are the people of the LORD, and are gone forth out of his land.
21: But I had pity for mine holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the heathen, whither they went.
22: Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I do not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine holy name's sake, which ye have profaned among the heathen, whither ye went.
23: And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.
24: For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land.
25: Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.
26: A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
27: And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.
28: And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.
29: I will also save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for the corn, and will increase it, and lay no famine upon you.
30: And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field, that ye shall receive no more reproach of famine among the heathen.
31: Then shall ye remember your own evil ways, and your doings that were not good, and shall lothe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations.
32: Not for your sakes do I this, saith the Lord GOD, be it known unto you: be ashamed and confounded for your own ways, O house of Israel.
33: Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day that I shall have cleansed you from all your iniquities I will also cause you to dwell in the cities, and the wastes shall be builded.
34: And the desolate land shall be tilled, whereas it lay desolate in the sight of all that passed by.
35: And they shall say, This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are become fenced, and are inhabited.
36: Then the heathen that are left round about you shall know that I the LORD build the ruined places, and plant that that was desolate: I the LORD have spoken it, and I will do it.
37: Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will yet for this be inquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them; I will increase them with men like a flock.
38: As the holy flock, as the flock of Jerusalem in her solemn feasts; so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
The land shall be delivered from heathen oppressors. (1-15) The people are reminded of former sins, and promised deliverance. (16-24) Also holiness, and gospel blessings. (25-38)
Those who put contempt and reproach on God's people, will have them turned on themselves. God promises favour to his Israel. We have no reason to complain, if the more unkind men are, the more kind God is. They shall come again to their own border. It was a type of the heavenly Canaan, of which all God's children are heirs, and into which they all shall be brought together. And when God returns in mercy to a people who return to him in duty, all their grievances will be set right. The full completion of this prophecy must be in some future event. Ezek.36:1-15. The restoration of that people, being typical of our redemption by Christ, shows that the end aimed at in our salvation is the glory of God. The sin of a people defiles their land; renders it abominable to God, and uncomfortable to themselves. God's holy name is his great name; his holiness is his greatness, nor does any thing else make a man truly great.Ezek.16-24. Water is an emblem of the cleansing our polluted souls from sin. But no water can do more than take away the filth of the flesh. Water seems in general the sacramental sign of the sanctifying influences of the Holy Ghost; yet this is always connected with the atoning blood of Christ. When the latter is applied by faith to the conscience, to cleanse it from evil works, the former is always applied to the powers of the soul, to purify it from the pollution of sin. All that have an interest in the new covenant, have a new heart and a new spirit, in order to their walking in newness of life. God would give a heart of flesh, a soft and tender heart, complying with his holy will. Renewing grace works as great a change in the soul, as the turning a dead stone into living flesh. God will put his Spirit within, as a Teacher, Guide, and Sanctifier. The promise of God's grace to fit us for our duty, should quicken our constant care and endeavour to do our duty. These are promises to be pleaded by, and will be fulfilled to, all true believers in every age. Ezek.36:25-38.
Iam a blessed child of God. I fear the Lord and delight greatly in His commandments. My seed will be mighty in the earth and my generations will be blessed. Wealth and riches will be in my house and my righteousness will endure forever. Because I walk uprightly before the Lord, light will arise in the darkness. My confusion will be overcome and I will have guidance from the Holy Spirit. There is no problems which can come against me that I will not have wisdom and the leading of the Lord to overcome. I will also guide my personal, family and business affairs with discretion. I have wisdom beyond my natural ability. Because I am gracious, compassionate, righteous and give to others, favor follows after me. Everywhere I go, blessings find me. Surely I will not be moved forever. I cannot be shaken by circumstances or fear from the enemy, because I keep the Lord forever in my remembrance. I will not be afraid of evil tidings. My heart is fixed. I trust in the Lord. My heart is established, I will never be afraid. Satan desires to see me defeated. I desire to see him defeated and destroyed. His desire will not come to pass over me. My desire will come to pass over him. With God’s power, I will outlast Satan every time. I have dispersed and given to the poor. My acts of righteousness are eternal. My horn is lifted up in anticipation of a great outpouring of God’s blessing into my life. The wicked will see it and be grieved. Though they gnash their teeth at me, they will melt away and their desires shall perish. My desires will be granted by the Lord and my treasuries will be filled.

Doctor: Plans to 'Microchip' Newborns
Doctor: Plans to 'Microchip' Newborns
PrisonPlanet.com:
Regarding plans to microchip newborns, Dr. Kilde said the U.S. has been moving in this direction "in secrecy." She added that in Sweden, Prime Minister Olof Palme gave permission in 1973 to implant prisoners, and Data Inspection's ex-Director General Jan Freese revealed that nursing-home patients were implanted in the mid-1980s. The technology is revealed in the 1972:47 Swedish state report, Statens Officiella Utradninger. Are you prepared to live in a world in which every newborn baby is micro-chipped?

The fig tree
Gleanings From The Word
Experience an extraordinary God in Ordinary Life
Issue #1825 Figs
The fig tree appears throughout Scripture. The words fig, figs and fig tree appear no less than 71 times in the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. The first mention is in the Garden of Eden when Adam and Eve clothe themselves with fig leaves (see Genesis 3:7). The last mention is as a metaphor where the stars fall out of the heavens like figs from a tree (see Revelation 6:13).
It is not surprising that the fig plays such a large role in Scripture. It is a common tree throughout the Middle East (and beyond). Its two crops of fruit each year provide a stable food source.
There is an account recorded in Matthew about Jesus and a fig tree that often leaves people wondering.
Matthew 21:18-19 NIV
Early in the morning, as he was on his way back to the city, he was hungry. Seeing a fig tree by the road, he went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. Then he said to it, "May you never bear fruit again!" Immediately the tree withered.
People wonder why this story is included in the Scriptures. To me, it is a wonderful declaration of Jesus being both fully human and fully divine.
As a hungry man, Jesus walked up to a fig tree looking for something to eat. Had Jesus not been fully man He would not been hungry. If He were not fully man, He would have known that the tree bore no fruit.
Yet we see the fully divine side of Jesus in the withering of the tree. He had the power to destroy the fruitless tree in a moment. That is something that no mere man could have done.
As believers we can rejoice in Jesus' nature. Having been fully human He experienced everything that we can experience. He can relate fully to our needs, our struggles and our triumphs. He has "been there and done that".
As fully God we can trust in Him to be merciful, just and faithful. He is a rock upon whom we can face all of this life and beyond and never have to worry about Him letting us down.
As fully man, He could pay the price on the cross for our sins. His shed blood was an acceptable covering for our failings.
As fully God He intercedes with father on our behalf. There is no failing when He comes to our aid.
Until next time, rejoice in Jesus. He has it covered for us.
Hallelu Yah (Praise God)
Be blessed
Kevin
Never let the enemy tell you that you are worthless or insignificant. You have value in the eyes of God so great that it was worth dying for. You are a blessing to the world. You are so precious to God that heaven will not be complete without you.
Help for the Hurting
As a human, Jesus understands all the things you struggle with and can empathize. As a holy God He cannot tolerate sin. As loving God HE came and died to free you from your sin, if you will open your heart to Him. Do so and be free today.
If you want to know how to do that simply email us and we will send you some Bible verses that will explain it to you.

Early in the morning, as he was on his way back to the city, he was hungry. Seeing a fig tree by the road, he went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. Then he said to it, "May you never bear fruit again!" Immediately the tree withered.
People wonder why this story is included in the Scriptures. To me, it is a wonderful declaration of Jesus being both fully human and fully divine.
As a hungry man, Jesus walked up to a fig tree looking for something to eat. Had Jesus not been fully man He would not been hungry. If He were not fully man, He would have known that the tree bore no fruit.
Yet we see the fully divine side of Jesus in the withering of the tree. He had the power to destroy the fruitless tree in a moment. That is something that no mere man could have done.
As believers we can rejoice in Jesus' nature. Having been fully human He experienced everything that we can experience. He can relate fully to our needs, our struggles and our triumphs. He has "been there and done that".
As fully God we can trust in Him to be merciful, just and faithful. He is a rock upon whom we can face all of this life and beyond and never have to worry about Him letting us down.
As fully man, He could pay the price on the cross for our sins. His shed blood was an acceptable covering for our failings.
As fully God He intercedes with father on our behalf. There is no failing when He comes to our aid.
Until next time, rejoice in Jesus. He has it covered for us.
Hallelu Yah (Praise God)
Be blessed

Never let the enemy tell you that you are worthless or insignificant. You have value in the eyes of God so great that it was worth dying for. You are a blessing to the world. You are so precious to God that heaven will not be complete without you.
Help for the Hurting
As a human, Jesus understands all the things you struggle with and can empathize. As a holy God He cannot tolerate sin. As loving God HE came and died to free you from your sin, if you will open your heart to Him. Do so and be free today.
If you want to know how to do that simply email us and we will send you some Bible verses that will explain it to you.

"Asthma" 7Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners:Psalm 146:7The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous:Psalm 146:830A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones.Proverbs 14:3024Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.Proverbs 16:24
56Thou hast heard my voice: hide not thine ear at my breathing, at my cry.Lamentations 3:56
32And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.Joel 2:32
25Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;Acts 17:25
Diseases" 3Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;Psalm 103:320He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.Psalm 107:2018There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health.Proverbs 12:18
14Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.Jeremiah 17:146Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them, and will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth.Jeremiah 33:612For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.1 Peter 3:122Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.3 John 1:216Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.James 5:16.
For I know that Our Heavenly Father does not allow Me to see or to know the results of The ministries. I throughly believe He protects us from sin of vain glory by keeping most of the results from us until He knows that we know how to give all of one's glory unto Him.

Dear Precious, Precious Jesus ,For we have come to speak against Satan as we come to speak with You today, in the Name of Jesus and say that All of your prince, principalities, powers of darkenss that rule in the heavenly places and whom rule in heavenly and are bound from operating In John Young's life in any way shape or form . For John Yong's life belongs to Jehovah Ropha, the Lord God Our healer, and we all give No place in John's life or that secret hiding place which dwells in John for it only belongs to our Most High God Jesus Christ that abides, remains stable, and is utterly fixed under the shadow of God in whom is and has all powers over our Foes and can with stand anything that You throw at him. For We do Apply the Blood of Jesus upon John, and he's released and has total delieverance power right now In the Name of Jesus right now and we bind and sever every cord of any prince or principality, any strong man, and ever single spirit of darkness over John. We have put Jesus Christ bloodline inbetween each one of you and We throughly cast you out as We cut off all of your communications as We render all of you inactive, and cast each of you in the Name of Jesus.For what has been bound in heaven is bound and what has been loosed in heaven is loosed by the authority power of our God HallelujahWe give You, Jesus ALL of the praise and glory for a complete healing as it says in Isaiah 55:11. "So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it." And we send Your word, now into John Young’s needs, accessed by the power of the blood of Jesus and faith in the finished price by Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary. In the name of Jesus, So we all "Thank You Jesus for there is none like You in All the earthFor all know that your the only One God that heals us and our prayers will be answered.Thank You Jesus ! Blessed Be the Name of Jesus, our Most High God whom is our author and finisher of our faith. In Jesus'Name I pray Amen.

Wisdom Of The Ages
Proverbs 1:20-23(KJV): "Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets: 21 She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying, 2 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? 23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you." Proverbs 1:20-23(Amplified): "Wisdom cries aloud in the street; she raises her voice in the markets. 21 She cries at the head of the noisy intersections -- in the chief gathering places -- at the entrance of the city places she speaks: 22 "How long, O simple ones and open to evil, will you love being simple? And the scoffers delight in scoffing, and (self-confident) fools hate knowledge? 23 If you will turn (repent) and give heed to my reproof, behold, I (Wisdom), will pour out my spirit upon you, I will make my words known to you." | |

Thoughts for the Day The author of all wisdom is the Lord God Himself. One of His names is WISDOM. When the above scripture mentions WISDOM crying out, this is in reference to the Lord giving His wisdom to men that are in places of administration in the cities. In the Old Testament of the Bible, when the gates of the city are mentioned it was always a reference to where the elders of the city gathered to make the decisions for the people within the city. Most cities had walls of protection built around them and the gates were closed at night, so that enemies could not attack and destroy them. During the day the elders would also gather at the gates, usually in a watch tower, to observe who and what came in and out of the city. By doing this they could make wise decisions to help the city remain safe and also prosperous in the market places. When the above scripture gives a warning to the simple, the Hebrew word for simple in these verses has this meaning: foolish, easily enticed and seduced, credulous, inexperienced. With this in mind, the Lord is telling us not to be foolish, but to seek His wisdom and then, we can have His knowledge as to how to deal with our affairs. If we learn to take responsibility and deal with our own affairs in a righteous way, then the Lord will promote us to places of leadership and eldership. He wants to use us to be in positions of authority, so that we might help others in the ways of the Lord. God is using Christian businessmen today to bring His godly principles to the market place. If any nation will line up their economic principles with the Word of God they will become prosperous and blessed. The opposite is also true, if nations fail to do this they will suffer poverty and economic failure. These same principles of wisdom are also true in the area of personal finances. | |

Prayer for the Day Father, please give me wisdom in my personal affairs so that I might walk in your blessings and prosperity, that I, in turn, might be able to bless others. Lord, give us wise men in the places of authority to lead us as a nation. May your wisdom be applied in the market places of our land and also to our economic situation at the highest levels. Father, give us wise men to rule over us -- men who will be just and fair in their dealings, men of character. Thank you for teaching us your ways and giving us the gift of the Holy Spirit. In the precious name of Jesus I pray, Amen. | |

Morning & Evening Devotionals
Morning & Evening Devotionals:Think upon me, my God, for good.Thus saith the Lord; I remember thee, the kindness of thy youth, the love of thine espousals, when thou wentest after me in the wilderness. I will remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish unto thee an everlasting covenant. I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you. For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause: which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvelous things without number. Many, O Lord my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them they are more than can be numbered.
Neh. 5:19. Jer. 2:2. Ezek. 16:60. Jer. 29:10. Jer. 29:11. Isa. 55:9. Job. 5:8,9. Ps.
I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
There failed not ought of any good thing which the Lord had spoken unto the house of Israel; all came to pass. God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
The Lord thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him. He will ever be mindful of his covenant.
Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee. Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands.
The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.
Josh. 1:5. Josh. 21:45. Num. 23:19. Deut. 7:9. Ps. 111:5. Isa. 49:15,16. Zeph. 3:17.

Praying For Jerusalam
Praying For Jerusalem _________________________ Dear Precious Heavenly Father; we come to Bless Your Holy Name because there is No other than You and we lift you up in thanksgiving and praises unto Your Holy Name in worship in one accord for Isreal is the apple of Your eye, and this is Your covenant land that You have given to Your people to whom had been given unto Abraham and His descendents.Father it had been given to them that Promised Landas they had conquered the canaanites and it's Your people whom recieved this promise from You. Oh, Father that land had the Romans then dominated that whole region, which was formerly the land of Canaan generally Judea then Isreal had fallen to having divided up into several areas of those districts like Judea, Idumea, Sameria, Galiee, and Perea. But Your people are the only ethnic and religious unity of which You hath given unto them as Isreal, Palestine was Never any kind of Territory of Isreal during this biblical time. Father God this is an insult unto Your People in what You've had given unto them. For they have been such a very long detested enemie in the Land of Palestina for the Romans had it re-named in 70A.D., of Your people upon that whole land unto this day. It's been at a loss ever since this had happened unto Your own people in whom You have chosen to be in the land forever and ever. You had a covenant unto them but today Goverment Officals in other nations has divided it instead and h as brought so many dangers in front of You Father God and went against You as they have come together in todays times. For we know that You've shined down upon them with your mercy and grace in giving your people pleasure in times of trouble when there loved one has been brought down unto their deaths without those whom don't care about your people, in Isreal's in disreguard all the torubles that's before them today and in clinging unto You as they are leading more and more unto our God in strengthing them though they are fatigue as others are lifting the people of Isreal up as they have carried those crosses unto You in them having that crown of glory one day in Your heavenly place called home in the final destination. As we are in unity with Jerusalem the people of Isreal as a people compacted together in communion as our spirits are one in the bond of Peace all around them.In having our advantages in depraving all enemies as You help us all in conquering those enemies that's all around them at this hour as we pray for peace in Jerusalam all around it's borders and in the palace as You re the redeemer as we glorify You Father God, for we seek that every person whom is in you as our brothers and sisters, aunts, uncles, grand parents whom are standing toe to toe in one accord as fellow- travellers that isn't having any differences because of the peace and love as it dwells among us. Make tempers cease before You that are ever so contentius and be of one mind which it bring everyone unto Your love Father God as You stir us up in our prayers in bringing all salvation into those hearts that changes them in being more like You. That only comes unto them by Your divine glory and power unto all of us and the people of Isreal today. Shield everyone from being targets of killing, and destroying them No matter where they put those feet, or being at home all across the land. Thank You Lord God in all that You do before them, even in their armies and high people in authority that bring truths upon the ears that listen unto our goverment officals in stopping this demise against your people. Oh, Lord God We ask that Satan and all of principalities and prince of the air for we come totally against that entire kingdom and we declare, in the Name of Jesus, that he cannot and will not have any part of Isreal in any way shape or form. He can have nothing to do with those people minds bodies, souls, spirits and all of those lives of the people of Isreal, emotions, wills, marriages, friendships, and aquaintances, fellowships , homes, schools, work places and places of recreation, transportation , vehicles of any kind that would come close to any of Isreal. For in the Name of Jesus and through His living blood, we bind and sever and crush them and all cords of any prince or principality, any strong men or women, every spirit of darkness over all of the homes, business, vehicles, schools. We put Jesus Christ bloodline in between each one of you and we literally cut off all communications, confuse all camps, and we do render you inactive and cast you out, In Jesus'Name. Father God, we ask that You send out Your mighty warring angels in helping Isreal in All of Your provision in a mighty way before them in keeping safe in the shadow of Your wings until You come for them .May they see and witness Your divine glory unto the Apple of Your Eye's in which they are Your people in giving all the praise and glory in all that You have done before them. In Jesus'Name we pray. Amen.catcmo2006
