Well Well Well..

*

I'd say...

Amazingly much has happened in just a few hours, days or what ever. Firstly; I got infected by a worm or five, so that in the end I couldn't even get online, anywhere. Temporarily fixed, though..

Next is that a guy I receive newsletters from, also had his newsletter infected, by someone replacing a link in there with one that led to a mock-up of "Sesame Street" or something. He just laughed about it when he sent the alert-there's-something-wrong-with-the-link message some hours after that, and I informed him of the hacking, and what that link probably led to, besides Sesame Street..

The occult are funny guys. Not.

Some of them actually told me they were going to cast/place spells or curses on me (they differentiate between the two; one is "good" and the other "bad", though some of them think that bad is good and so on, but that's another subject).

Actually a serious curse of death, a "sigill" of some kind, you know; a "angel of death"-thing, but I just scoffed about it and replied that it would fall back on their own heads, begging and warning them not to do it because of that.

Well, they didn't listen, and the day before yesterday, I think it was, [I'm blurry as to time still] I suddenly felt like I had been taken on a bad LSD-trip or something, scared and paranoid of everything, and I wondered hard and long as to why God would allow them to affect me that way after all?

Well, I didn't die or kill someone, but it was VERY unpleasant, to say the least. It kind of lingers on over me still, but not the way it did while they, presumably, offered a goat or a baby or what ever, summoning demons to kill me, whilst dancing around the bon(e)fire..

Then it dawned on me: I was to feel the power and recognize it, and the ones responsible for placing the curse are now without any chance to say that they are innocent, "because it didn't affect him". Because it did. It hurt so much, and my wife, how do you think she felt when I was suspicious even at her?

It's as close as a Christian can come to being possessed by demons that I've ever felt.

Except for the time I wasn't a Christian, and was possessed, but that's another story..

So. Where am I getting with this? I don't know. Just wanted you all to know that:

YOU DO NOT TAKE SPIRITUAL THINGS LIGHTLY!!!

If you're going to be Christian, you must face the fact that we have a enemy who wants to kill us!

If you are a disciple of Yeshua from Nazareth, THEY WILL TRY TO DESTROY YOU!

ARE YOU LISTENING?

The good news is, though, that the Bible and the Holy Spirit are there to teach and guide us, but there's a catch: You must be willing to sacrifice all that is "your life" to live according to what He wants you to do.

The time is over for cozy pillow-cuddle "Christianity". We're born into a war, whether we like it or not, and there is no neutral ground.

Did you read that properly? I'll repeat:

There is no neutral ground!

Sorry for the bold type, but it's no joke..

If you don't experience tribulations and hardships in your life, you probably aren't doing what Jesus told you to.

"Everyone who wants to live a life in the fear of God, will be persecuted". Well? Are you being persecuted?

If not, maybe you should stick your neck out of the church doors and actually tell people you work with, meet on a bench or where ever, about Jesus?

Maybe it could start off with a: "Those bags really look heavy, can I help you in any way?"

Well, that one probably wouldn't work so well in for example New York City, I don't know, but you know what I mean. Don't try that one if you've got a distinct feeling that someone is going to pepper-spray you.. :-)

But, seriously: There comes a day when all our work, built on the Cornerstone of Yeshua, will be tried with fire. Wouldn't you at least like to have a building that can stand the heat? At least a building? Straws? Anything?

Well. I'll leave you there tonight, and may Yeshua the True Messiah of the children of Abraham watch over you and keep you alive.. Amen.

45 LESSONS OF LIFE..

Hi people. I got an e-mail today that actually was a thing that many might have read before, like a chain-letter or something. Never the less it is good advice, and will make you smile and cry.. If you're human, that is.. :-)
The following was written by a lady once, and she issued it and it started rolling..
I certainly hope it's made the impact on my life that I sorely need..

Written By Regina Brett, 90 years old, of The Plain Dealer, Cleveland , Ohio.

"To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me.
It is the most-requested column I've ever written.
My odometer rolled over to 90 in August, so here is the column once more :
 
1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.
2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.
3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
4. Your job or your friends won't take care of you when you are sick. Your parents will. Stay in touch.
5. Pay off your credit cards every month.
6. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
7. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone.
8. It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it.
9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.
10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.
11. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.
12. It's OK to let your children see you cry.
13. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it.
15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don't worry; God never blinks.
16. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.
17. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.
18. Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.
19. It's never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else
20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer.
21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special.
22. Over prepare, then go with the flow.
23. Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.
24. The most important sex organ is the brain.
25. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.
26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words 'In five years, will this matter?'
27. Always choose life.
28. Forgive everyone everything.
29. What other people think of you is none of your business.
30. Time heals almost everything. Give time time.
31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
32. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
33. Believe in miracles.
34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn't do.
35. Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.
36. Growing old beats the alternative -- dying young.
37. Your children get only one childhood.
38. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.
39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.
40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd grab ours back.
41. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
42. The best is yet to come...
43. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
44. Yield.
45. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift." 


Well..? It thought you'd find the reading worthwhile.. :-)

SEEKING THE FACE OF GOD

I received yet another mail from David Wilkerson recently, and I found it to be so important. Especially in the times we now are living in. So many things to choose, or believe, or let consume time, or occupy mind, body and spirit.

Let's get back to the hunger for the Living Word, so that it may transform us and reveal its secrets to us..

SEEKING THE FACE OF GOD

In Psalm 27, David beseeches God in an intense urgent prayer. He pleads in verse 7, “Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.” His prayer is focused on one desire, one ambition, something that has become all consuming for him: “One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after” (27:4).

David is testifying, “I have one prayer, Lord, one request. It is my single most important goal in life, my constant prayer, the one thing I desire. And I will seek after it with all that’s within me. This one thing consumes me as my goal.”

What was this one thing that David desired above all else, the object he’d set his heart on obtaining? He tells us: “That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in his temple” (27:4).

Make no mistake: David was no ascetic, shunning the outside world. He wasn’t a hermit, seeking to hide away in a lonely desert place. No, David was a passionate man of action. He was a great warrior, with huge throngs singing of his victories in battle. He was also passionate in his prayer and devotion, with a heart that yearned after God. And the Lord had blessed David with so many of the desires of his heart.

Indeed, David tasted everything a man could want in life. He had known riches and wealth, power and authority. He had received the respect, praises and adulation of men. God had given him Jerusalem as the capital for the kingdom and he was surrounded by devoted men who were willing to die for him.

Most of all, David was a worshiper. He was a praising man who gave thanks to God for all his blessings. He testified, “The Lord laid blessings on me daily.”

David was saying, in effect, “There is a way of living I seek now—a settled place in the Lord that my soul longs for. I want uninterrupted spiritual intimacy with my God.”  This was what David meant when he prayed, “That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in his temple” (27:4).
