After 2 years of having God peel layers of me, like an onion; I found myself bare, I had nothing I could depend on for help or support. I was laid bare. I hid my fears in alcohol mixed with opioids. I took comfort in thoughts of suicide by accident. Only one problem: a child I loved with my heart. I lived day to day. Every day I struggled to wake up (I think an angel said) "if you don't stop it, you will leave your child alone!! It was like a cold water slap.
On Yom Kippur 1985, I had done a compatibility horoscope chart for a backslid Methodist I frequently went drinking with. I interpreted the chart. When I was done, she said these words: it seems to have truth, BUT THE BIBLE SAYS THIS IS WRONG! 2 Timothy 3:5
As she was speaking, the Lord sorta peeled (reality) her face to the side. I was staring face to face with a vision of Jesus riding a white horse.
I had no knowledge of the Bible. His eyes stared into mine and all the air in me left. I could not speak. I hear an echo of THE BIBLE SAYS THIS IS WRONG over and over; His eyes piercing the fibers of my soul. My friend grabs her stuff and leaves quickly. The vision ends. All I can think is WHY does the Bible say it's wrong?
I looked in the Bible I had never read. After an hour I laid my head on it and said I DESERVE TO DIE. Then I saw hell in my kitchen floor, and an invisible Hand extended to me from the ceiling.
I took the HAND. I was delivered.
Jesus is Real. He's beautiful. His eyes are so full of love. He is righteous. He called me at 5yrs old but I got lost in my teens. He cares about every detail of our lives; every single day.
Don't doubt. Believe Him. Mishael
Listen to Charles Capps (a Texan like me, Yall)
On YouTube, Titled: THE AUTHORITY OF THE BELIEVER. The whole thing!
So if some of you are depressed, you think the world is going to blazes on a hellfire rocket? It all looks hopeless our government is trying to buy our souls with "free" stimulus checks and close down our churches, force us to get shots etc
How would you like to hit Satan right between his little goat eyeballs? Terrorize demons the minute you wake up in the morning and put your feet on the floor? If you can't walk, just the Word of God in your heart and mouth is lethal
All Jesus had to do was say: LEAVE
Demons scattered, jumped into pigs that immediately drowned themselves, etc
Jesus quoted SCRIPTURES to Satan and defeated ALL of satans temptations.
Satan and his demon angels DO NOT have bodies of their own. They are not human. They have to borrow a body to get around. Satan will possess Antichrist's body until he's done with it. Scripture says the antichrist spirit is everywhere in the world. We're seeing that aren't we?
Depressing huh?
Yeah, they're doing a good job of depressing us. HOWEVER THEY ARE OUTLAW SPIRITS. THEY HAVE NO AUTHORITYBUT WE DO :D
IF you want to fight to win, then go find out what God gave us to fight with, while in the Armor of God. The SWORD OF THE SPIRIT, is the SCRIPTURES OF THE WORD OF GOD IN YOUR MOUTH. This ain't Star Wars with light sabers!!
IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT BELIEVES GOD GAVE US THE BEST WEAPONS TO USE? THEN TEACH IT. Arise, take up your sword, unite with the BODY OF CHRIST ON EARTH. Jesus gave his everything to EQUIP US. Where are His Intercessors? Hedge builders, Gap Guards, Watchman? Joel chapter 2: men and women!!
I dare you to believe the whole Word of God.
Turn up your volume! Take back our country!
You will walk in victory!
It's a rap song by a guy named Viper. It's obscene and filthy
Are you called by God?
Understanding it, when it happens can be difficult! When it happens, you will know it! Being at the right place at the right time is impossible to know! You see, it is the will of God, only He knows! Many call it being woke today! Only woke is not a calling from God. Woke is an idea, that you somehow can tell God what is right and needful for humanity! Living under the law! dictating His will for man. A very false calling and doctrine of failure! Without faith it is impossible to please Him. The laws of the universe, the promises of God through faith in Christ, is what it means to be woke! The new woke without the will of God, will bring only death and darkness!

All working together. Jesus came to show us the Father, as Emmanuel.
Matthew 1:23
Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. [Jesus]
{Comment} Jesus came to bring to each born again believer; the baptism and the in-dwelling of the Holy Spirit.
[ Genesis 1:2, John 3:6, Acts 2:1-3,
John 16:7-15]
Upon being born again, Jesus gives the Holy Spirit to baptize us, Teach us scripture, comfort us, convict us of sin, enable us to be witnesses. Stay in the New Testament at first.
CAUTION: the phrase 'God the Grandson' is NOT in the KJV Bible.
I am convinced that America's days are numbered, close to our visitation. We will not withstand an attack from Russia, China, but yet we will continue to bomb, thumb our noses at the rest of the world in provocation. The world has caught up to America and has surpassed it. Just one Sarmat missile will remove a chunk of earth the size of Texas.
Our Govt, our politicians, our police operate a brutal and broken system. Who other than America is that great city that God despises, and commissions to complete and utter destruction? This is not symbolism, this is what's on the way for the inhabitants of earth when the man of sin is revealed.
For those who don't take this seriously, you will, come the flame. Our leaders are devils presiding over modern day Sodom and Gomorrah. The corruption has reached high heaven, our reckoning is almost here. American's are the first to say how awful things are with govt without any idea that they are Mystery Babylon, taken by surprise, in a preempted strike....they say it's impossible that God would come up against us; He will. I can tell you that God despises lawless America to the double.
You should accept that 2.5 B+ people die that day when America is taken, when Satan comes of age to collect on his half of the deal. Trillions weren't spent on arms for nothing. Trees that stood for a thousand years, suddenly will fall. Israel will not escape the sword either, a 70 AD re-boot will run through them. Never fear, it will put humanity much closer to the return of Jesus Christ, so the eradication is a welcomed advancement. His will will be done.
You say that "People who consult the Greek or Hebrew for the meaning of verses or the definitions of words are not Greek or Hebrew scholars and do not possess the knowledge to accurately translate the Greek and Hebrew words into English." That is not true. There are many Greek and Hebrew scholars today who possess that knowledge.
How does consulting in the Greek and Hebrew lead to confusion? I have learned to read Greek, not just look up words, but I actually read Greek the same as I would pick up an English bible and read from it. It causes me no confusion. In fact, I find that it helps me tremendously in my understanding of what the English text is saying. For me, reading from the Textus Receptus is far greater than using search engines and dictionaries to get understanding. I find that most of the time I use a search engine to look up a verse, there are several pages that come up, and they don't all agree with each other. I would say that causes confusion!
If using search engines and a dictionary helps you understand scripture, then that's great for you. But others should have a right to learn the original languages if they so choose. The Greek has helped me. It is an exact language, unlike English and Hebrew, which are very general languages. When you have a very general language such as English, that's where the confusion comes in, and that's why we cannot agree with what the English text is saying, because English words can have multiple meanings. But not so with the Greek! It is an exact language, and I think the Lord knew what He was doing when He chose that language for the doctrinal section of the New Testament.
Personally, I think that that if it was required for every person going into the ministry to master the original languages, we wouldn't have so many denominational churches. So many churches are split today because they cannot agree with what the English bible is saying, and many of them do use the KJV. Go figure!
You can keep someone lifted up in front of Gods throne. I believe these verses show that Gods thoughts toward us, can turn us back.
Jeremiah 29
11 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.
12 Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.
13 And ye shall seek me, and find Me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
I believe in the prayers of mothers and grandparents! My grandmother sent me love letters with scriptures, saying Jesus loves me, and so did she. I would remember those letters.
An angel woke me from hangover every morning saying: if you don't stop, you will leave your child without one parent.
Yes I believe in Prodigal sons and daughters. The Bible says he CAME TO HIS SENSES. He was face down fixing to eat hog food. He had nothing left except need. Every step on that road screamed defeat, stupid, loser! (The Accuser).
He made it to Daddy. ABBA.
I'm praying hard for some people who are the hardest heads and hearts I know. We have to shake Heaven with our prayers! I know some day I am going to receive a good report. I know it! I know it I know it!
Those altars they have in Israel are solid. I can see it in scripture. Well we need to grab on it, lay on it, soak it in tears, sleep beside it; wake up and shake Heaven again.
Did John the Baptist pray? (Red letters)
Matthew 11:12 ...the Kingdom of Heaven suffers Violence, and the Violent TAKE IT BY FORCE.
Jesus said that. IF we want to shake out a blessing; get with it. Grab onto the horns of that altar and give birth to a miracle.
Luke 16: 19-31
Mishael
7. Know ye therefore that they which are of FAITH, the same are the children of Abraham.
8. And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify THE HEATHEN through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall ALL NATIONS be blessed. [Jews and Gentiles]
22. But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them THAT BELIEVE.
23. But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
24. Wherefore the THE LAW [Moses] was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
25. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
26. For ye are all the children of God BY FAITH in Christ Jesus.
27. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
28. There is neither JEW NOR GREEK, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all ONE in Christ Jesus.
29. And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
If you will search the scriptures in the New Testament on, THE ELECTION, you will learn that by going to the Cross, Jesus RATIFIED (put in force, as in Legal) the New Covenant.
The Old Covenant was torn (in the Temple) from bottom to the top. The veil was enormous, and only God could've done that.
We await for the TIMES OF THE GENTILES to be completed. We're close! It has been almost 3000 years.
Mishael comment: I believe that when the New Testament believers are 'caught up in the clouds' by Jesus;
The ELECTION will pass back over to the Jews.
The sudden absence of the Jewish believers in Jesus Christ, will show the Jews left behind that Jesus was indeed, the MESSIAH they had anticipated for thousands of years!
Scales on eyes and ears will fall off. They will experience the Election.
Some will stoically cling to disbelief. they will suffer for it.

The word: Grandson is no where in the King James Bible. To teach this to lambs in arms and Gods sheep, is not good.
Let us all Read, 1 Timothy 6. All of it.
We all bear the responsibility to teach the truth.
When it comes to salvation, Judaism and Christianity are in opposition to each other. I'm not sure that they complement each other at all. One is salvation through keeping the law (Judaism), and the other is salvation by grace (Christianity).
A great study on the difference between the law and grace would be Galatians. It was written because false teachers attacked Paul's ministry and message that salvation was through grace alone, without the deeds of the law.
The Judaizers professed to be believers in Jesus as Messiah. Their doctrinal approach was that the Gentiles were not in a position of Sons of the Covenant to receive the promises of God until they became Jews and they followed the Law. The first law they said that Gentiles must keep is circumcision.
The form of the letter of Galatians was different from all of the other letters written by Paul. It's the only letter not containing a commendation. Paul did not commend the Jewish believers in Galatia because they were mixing law with grace. It is the only letter written by Paul that's addressed to more than one church.
Galatians is a very important book that gives us the difference between Judaism and keeping the law, verses Christianity, salvation by grace alone, through Christ alone, apart from the law.
Galatians is a shorter version of Romans. Romans is considered the Constitution of the Christian Faith. If we only had the book of Romans, we would have everything we need to know about the Christian faith. Galatians is considered to be the Declaration of Independence of the Christian Faith. Our independence and freedom comes through Christ, not the keeping of the law.
Back then, when a Jew would crossover from Judaism to Christianity, it would cost them dearly. Their family would disown them, they would lose their job, and they would not be allowed in their own temple. They would be persecuted. It was as though they were dead to their fellow Jews. It's not much different today!
John chapter 3 verse 12 starts out by saying, "If I have told you earthly things, (That would be the wind from verse 8) and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?"
And then Jesus says in Verse 13, "And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven."
So Jesus is saying that I am the only one that has come down from heaven, But if I tell you earthly things and you don't get it, and you are the master teacher of the Jews? Nicodemus should have associated the Lord's teaching to Ezekiel Chapter 37 Verses 1 through 15.
This is where God takes the prophet and He shows them a valley of dead bones and says this is Israel. Spiritually dead! And He says to him, prophecy over these bones that flesh would come on them. And the bones came together and the flesh came on the bones.
And then He says prophecy to the wind that the wind would blow on them and breathe life in them. And he prophesies and the wind blows and they are filled with life and spirit.
And so God's promise to His people Israel is that you are spiritually dead until my Spirit gives you life. But right now you are spiritually dead!
And He tells Nicodemus, you should have known what I was talking about. How can you be the master teacher in Israel and you don't know anything about being born from above? You don't know anything about the wind blowing, and how the spirit moves!
I like that phrase you used, "Work by inspiration and works by perspiration." That makes a lot of sense when we understand the literal definition of the word faith, which is persuasion. Any work that we do in the flesh (Human work), apart from the persuasion of God's Spirit leading us to do the work, He will not bless that.
The only thing flesh can produce is flesh. Our flesh cannot produce anything spiritual. My personal definition of the word faith would be the presence and activity of God's Spirit in a believer's life. Faith is a fruit of God's Spirit.
When His Spirit persuades us to do the work, that's called faith. Everything else is just human effort/human work, even if we claim to be doing it for the Lord. If He's not in it, if He's not the one giving us the faith (Persuasion) to do it, our labor is in vain.
And amen to the battle taking place in the mind! Paul fought for the believers mind. There is a special word used throughout the Greek New Testament, and it is the word MERIMNA which has to do with anything that occupies the attention of our minds. Satan uses everything in his power to keep us busy, and keep us distracted. He keeps our minds occupied (MERIMNA) so we won't have time to study the word.
Once we are saved, Satan knows he has lost us forever to Christ. He can't touch our spirit/our soul, because in order to do that, he would have to penetrate God's Spirit in us, and that's never going to happen. So the only weapon Satan has against a believer is to occupy the attention of our minds. He pursues us/chases us (DIOKO) and tries to wear us down in order to get us to give up. But as long as we have Christ in us, Satan will never succeed. And Jesus has promised to never leave us!
Amen, that is awesome. Please keep that daily commitment to God's word and never let up. Years ago, a dear friend and brother in Christ gave me an expensive leather bound bible and inside the front cover he wrote these words:
"This book will keep you from your sin, or, your sin will keep you from this book!"
Lord, bless our country and Your people as we go thru this pandemic, economic crisis, social unrest, and lack of proper leadership on all levels of our government. Shine your face on us, and bless us with your peace and glory.

The word sanctification means set apart. It comes from the Greek word HAGIOS. The words sanctify, sanctification, Holy, and Saint all come from the same word, HAGIOS.
A saint is someone who has been set apart, sanctified (HAGIOS) for God's purposes. The term Holy Spirit describes what kind of Spirit He is. He is a Spirit that has been set apart from all other spirits.
Luke.22:42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.
John.5:30-32 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me. If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.
John 6:38-40 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
John.14:28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
John 20:17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.
1Corinthians 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.
1 Corinthians 15:25-28 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith, all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him. And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
May this help, pray and study and let the Holy Spirit be your guide.
