What you are about to read is just a portion of the statements that Jesus made concerning the power and authority that we the church are suppose to be walking in. These are not duplicates but all isolated statements made to His disciples as He was training them on how to minister after He was gone, and they were to pass this power down to us!
I’ am sure you have all heard some of these verses before but very possibly like me, it was always just one verse here and one verse there, but as I started looking closer at these verses and compiling them I became astonished at how many there were. I came across verse after verse after verse, it was just amazing, I had never realized the staggering amount of times that Jesus told us His disciples that we should and will perform the same miracles as He did and even Greater than His?! “By these they will know that you are My disciples”
It should also be noted He was using a commanding tone as He tried to impart this power and information to the believers. (“go into all the world.. heal the sick, give sight to the blind”)(“ by the power and authority of My name they Will cast out demons”) What is even more amazing is how we the 21st century church have completely ignore these words today, as if it was just one obscure verse, or that they were never even spoken by Jesus at all!?
And before you go there, this was not just for the 1st century church that is just what some man made up in his head because he didn’t see the power in his own life! It was easier to say that they ended with the Apostils rather than to admit he didn’t know why there was no power in his life or the church that he knew of!
But the scripture says "These are the miraculous signs that will follow them that believe!" He didn’t put a time limit on it,and neither should we!
Mark 9:23… Jesus said unto him, If you can believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.

Jesus called his twelve disciples and gave them authority to force evil spirits out of people and to cure every disease and sickness. … 5 Jesus sent these twelve out with the following instructions: 6 Go now to the lost sheep of the nation of Israel. 7 As you go, spread this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven is near.' 8 Cure the sick, bring the dead back to life, cleanse the lepers, and force demons out of people. Give these things without charging, since you received them without paying.

1st John
If our “heart” does not condemn us, we can boldly look to God 22 and receive from him anything we ask. We receive it because we obey his commandments and do what pleases him. 23 This is his commandment: to believe in his Son, the one named Jesus Christ, and to love each other as he commanded us

8 Besides, God will give you his constantly overflowing kindness. Then, you will always have everything you need, so you can do more and more good things. 9 Scripture says, “The righteous person gives freely to the poor. His righteousness continues forever.” 10 God gives seed to the farmer and food to those who need to eat. God will also give you seed, and multiply it. And in your lives he will increase the righteous things you do. 11 God will make you rich enough so that you can always be generous. Your generosity will produce thanksgiving to God because of us. 12 What you do to serve others not only provides for the needs of God's people, but also produces more and more prayers of thanksgiving to God. 13 You will honor God through this genuine act of service because of your commitment to spread the Good News of Christ!
Now am I Crazy or was Jesus trying to make sure we didn’t miss this? How many sermons have you heard about casting out demons this year?! How about raising the dead to life?... But how many times have you heard about tithing or being a faithful giver? Now I am a giver and giving to the body and to ministry should be a given (haha) but it's rarely mentioned from the book of acts all the way to Revelation. Simply because of the sheer number of times these statements were made by Jesus is more than enough reason for the followers of Jesus to pursue the manifestation of this power in their life!
I believe that we, the Body of Christ should no longer Ignore this half of the Gospel! And that if even just a small portion of the true believers in Christ would get a hold of this Truth, we would see a powerful shaking and manifestation of the Gifts of the Spirit in the church!
Well you can do whatever you want with this information, but as for myself, I am going to act like Jesus was telling the truth! Iam just saying!...

The Cocoon of Communion
Chapter 5
How do I describe something that God showed me in a moment of long sought after communion? You see this had come to me during an evening of prayer and praise (in the middle of a storm, in the bottom of a valley!) and it had only come after months of a desperate pursuit for answers regarding His Word. Now I assure you this isn’t some new secret, this is stuff we all know but we just don’t realize how important and powerful these things are!
Well here goes, but please understand this will NOT be comprehended with a casual reading of the words. You have to go down to the core of what the word’s mean, you have to eliminate all your preconceived thoughts on this matter. When you really get a hold of what I am telling you, you will realize this is the true heart of God’s Words, and that we have been lied to for so long that it’s hard to accept the truth!
This is the first of two thoughts or revelations which were separate encounters I had with the Lord at the end of a year and a half long desperate siege on the Throne of God. Now understand, this was not just saying a quick prayer before I went to bed, this was hours and hours almost every night in my prayer room! During this time God had brought me back to the Ignored Verses that I had just skimmed over for 20 years like they weren’t meant for me, and the more I took them to heart and started walking in them and proclaiming them, the more all hell broke loose in my personal life!
For some time (all my Christian journey) the Lord had been showing me verses and sending books my way and people, but at this point that wasn’t going to suffice, I WANTED HIM! I wanted to hear God, without any doubt! Not another book by a man or another sermon! I wanted to have God show up in my life! As I pressed on and into God’s word for months now, here again in another dark valley of life, it seemed that God was ignoring me and rejecting me. My business dried up and failed, my “Christian Joy” was dead in the water, my Hope was fading fast and what little self confidence I had reserved was now Below ZERO!!! I was a looser by all definitions of the word!
I knew God didn’t put things in the scriptures that were just passing statements, His Word’s are all to be taken seriously and, in most cases literally! It’s all there for a reason, for instruction, for equipping the saints for inspiration, the New Testament is a Blue Print of what the properly functioning Christian life should look like, and needless to say, the 20th century church is a long way from that!
So after months of Claiming and Speaking, Meditating and Praying over His Words, these Rejected Gospel verses, these incredible Ignored Red Words, I was becoming beat down and confused to the point of being ashamed that I believed them so completely so intently! Now, I couldn’t even talk to anyone about them, my own heart and words were empty and completely deflated! How could I tell anyone about these incredible verses… how could I… for now the opposite was manifesting in my life, failure on top of failure! I was broke and in debt to friends, and my best friend in this journey with me was now in the hospital ICU with Cancer and double phenomena even though we had prayed many times and claimed healing! When would God show up, I didn’t understand what was going on, this was a huge crises of faith! I could hardly breath, it felt like some huge weight was sitting right on my chest! So here I am, how do I go back… did the Holy Spirit “NOT” lead the writers of the Gospels to put these verses in the book? Was it a typo? A bad joke or did Jesus never say these words?
So instead of walking in the power and victory of the Lord’s words, I was reduced to begging God for just a little help, a little encouragement, if He would just throw me a proverbial bone to show me I wasn’t crazy for actually believing His Word’s! Lord here I ‘am hanging on the side of this mountain without any rope, and there was no way back down from here, where are you! Even though in my outside world I was experiencing anything but the Lords power and victory, I still knew with all my heart it was all true and it was all for us! How could anyone ever go back to dead Christian-dome? How do you unlearn what you absolutely know to be a fact! These words have to be true or it’s all compromised, this was life or death to me! If I can’t believe these verses how do I trust any of the rest of it, I would have to overlook the most critical information I have ever encountered, knowing this how would I ever share the Gospel with anybody ever again. (or only half of it, how many verses will we have to throw out? 60,70? MORE?) Could I just close my eyes and try to forget this… it would be like Neio going back into the matrix! How do you give up Hope,… that’s worse than death, worse than torture! Hope unfulfilled in still better than no hope at all!
And even worse, I knew deep down in my spirit that it was even Bigger, even more true, even more Powerful than the small group of us studying this were thinking. While they are trusting God for a $200 phone bill I am saying $200 million for missions isn’t even a drop in the bucket! When they are praying for relief of back pain, I am claiming perfect healing and cursing the cancer in my friend and knowing deep down in my heart that we should be at the children’s hospital laying hands on and healing children with muscular dystrophy and leukemia in the mighty name of Jesus!
“By this, they will know that you are my Disciples!”
I believe the Lord meant what He said, “ if you Believe… All Things Are Possible to him that Believes! I believe He meant Anything and Everything!
If you Believe… ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE…!
Mark 11: 22 Jesus said to them, “Have faith in God, 23 I can guarantee this truth: This is what will be done for someone who doesn't doubt in his heart but believes what he says will happen: He can say to this mountain, ‘Be uprooted and thrown into the sea,' and it will be done for him. 24 That's why I tell you to have faith that you have already received whatever it is you pray for, and it will be yours.
But I am still seeing squat in my own world! I know it’s true but I am going through !*&!!#%?
Well I ain’t going back… I know that I know, that I know, it’s TRUE! I tell you it’s all true! It’s Got To Be True!!! All of it! ALL OF IT!!! Jesus himself said; “these are the Miraculous Signs that WILL follow Believers!” and I am going to just act like He was telling the truth! Let them call me Crazy if they want!
The first clear breakthrough…
Then one evening, in a second, in a whisper, His Spirit told me that I should never be ashamed of believing, then almost in a gentle scolding He said; these are My Words, these words are all written in RED!, they were there for us, and they were there for a reason! He showed me that SHAME was one of the main things the devil was using to hold me back and not only me but most of the entire 21st century church in America! The Enemy had deceived me and most of the true Believers into thinking that it was wrong to expect the miraculous in our lives, the very thing that separates the true way of God, from all the man made demonic religions of the world. Buda never told his followers to heal the sick! Joseph Smith never told his followers to give sight to the blind! Mohamed never told his followers to raise the Dead! (only kill the unbelieving) So why did I not see these things manifesting in my life???
I was still living as if Satan was still my Slave Master! Even though Jesus had paid our ransom and secured our pardon, we were still sitting in this prison even after Jesus had blown the door off the cell! Satan had disarmed the entire church with a single thought which he had put into our minds over and over and over… You Should Be Ashamed of yourself for desiring any of these things! He would say; There are children starving and you selfishly ask God to bless you! Your just a greedy lover of money! You just want to bring glory to yourself!... on and on! What he didn’t mention about these starving children is that most of them are in Godless countries where he rules through all his false pagan religions!
Then as clear as a bell the God of all Glory inspired me to start thanking Him and praising Him, my wonderful Father in heaven let me know He loved me and freed me from this burden that had been restricting my heart for so long. Shame had hindered me from really believing this could be for me! He showed me clearly that in worshiping Him and thanking Him, He was freed to manifest His Glory and Blessing’s in my life, that it was a crucial connection or bridge that would join us more intimately. That when He says “He will inhabit our Praise” He really means, “He will inhabit our Praise”! He would pour His Holy Spirit down into us in a way that no other approach would allow! And just as Salvation was free so were all His other gifts, I could do no works to earn them, and He loved to give good gifts to His children! He told me I was always free to receive the inheritance and the power that His Son had died to purchase for me, it was always available to me as long as I had come out from under the law!
He reminded me that Satan was a lire and the father of lies, the enemy had used the church to first put me under the law where Christ was made of no effect in my life!, and then pump me full of Condemnation and make me feel Ashamed for believing these verses were really for us… FOR ME!... So even though Christ purchased my freedom, I didn’t know any better and I listened to and trusted other people rather than “only His word”! I had allowed myself to go back into bondage! Then on top of that was the years of lies and condemnation which depleted any power of Christ in my life. But the Lord, always leading and always calling me, had been waiting patiently for me to seek Him with all my heart!
Then like a veil being lifted from my eyes, I understood that God was showing me… telling me, that it is not a Bad Thing to take Him at His word! It wasn’t out of selfishness or some personal ego trip, my heart was for God’s kingdom, the condemnation wasn’t from God it was from the lire!
The Enemy of my soul had deceived me and Shamed me into feeling it was wrong to ever want these promises in my life, thinking it was only because of Greed, that I wanted to experience the Lords Manifested Word in my life, that it was from being self-centered, that it was all just plain sensationalism or name it and claim it, he made us think it was all kinds of garbage or hokies pokies, even demonic! But in reality the opposite was true, this was the very power that Christ won for us on Calvary! Satan had deceived the Body of Christ into calling good evil and robbed us of the true power that sets the followers of Jesus apart from all the Man Made religions in the world!
All of the verses that are completely ignored by 90% of the church, are the very life giving POWER, and the nuclear core of the Gospel, these are the heart of the Lords teachings that confirmed that the Lord was the true Messiah and that Christianity is the true way!
“Go into all the world and tell everyone the Good News, he that believes and is baptized will be saved …and these are the miraculous signs that will follow Believers in the Power and Authority of My Name they Will Force Demons out of people”… “the Gospel will be confirmed by signs and wonders”, “If you Believe you will see the Glory of god”, “As you go, spread this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven is near.' 8 Cure the sick, bring the dead back to life, cleanse the lepers, and force demons out of people. Give these things without charging, since you received them without paying”! These are ALL RED WORDS! And you may notice, these are not suggestions but Commandments!
So my friend it’s Not A Bad Thing to ask God to reveal Himself to us in an amazing personal way! Jer. 29:13
And it’s Not A Bad Thing to desire to see miracles working in your life! Mark 16
And it’s Not A Bad Thing to desire and expect the ability to lay hands on the sick and see them healed, right then and their! Math. 10:7
And it’s Not A Bad Thing to ask God for His Blessing on our work and everything we do! Mal.3:11
And it’s Not A Bad Thing to want a good home for our Families and a safe place for our children to play! Psalm 37:3
And it’s Not A Bad Thing to want good days full of peace and prosperity to enjoy with our Wives and Children, to eat drink and be merry! For there is a season for everything. Ecc.
And it’s Not A Bad Thing to want an Abundant life and Wealth to provide an inheritance for our Children and Grandchildren and to have enough overflow to feed the poor and always be ready to help others in need! John 10:10 and 2 Cor. 9:11
And it’s Not A Bad Thing to want to take Authority over the powers of darkness and command them to flee in the Power and Authority of the name of Jesus! Luke 10:17
And it’s Not A Bad Thing to claim all the promises of God and ask for the better gifts! 1Cor. 12:31
It Doesn’t bring Glory to God when His church is beaten down broken and defeated! When they only have a form of godliness but No power!
It Doesn’t bring Glory to God when His church is so bound up in debt and finical stress that they can’t pay their own bills on time, and there good name is besmirched and much worse the name of Christ is shamed.
It Doesn’t bring Glory to God when His Children are Divorcing at a rate as high as the unbelievers because they are so disillusioned and beaten down, living in failure and defeat!
It Doesn’t bring Glory to God when Your prayers are empty and cold, when there is no power or life in your Christian walk, when you can’t even remember what it was like to feel that excitement and passion of your faith, Or even if you had Faith!
Do you see it’s Not A Bad Thing to want to see the Lame Walk! It would be evil to say that it’s Gods will for these children to be deformed and bound to a wheel chair!
And it’s Not A Bad Thing to want to have money to feed the poor! What do you think that the wicked of the world will have more compassion for the poor and needy than YOU?
And it’s Not A Bad Thing to give Sight to the Blind, Jesus did it on a regular basis!
It’s Not A Bad Thing to see alcoholics and drug addicts delivered from the Demon’s that have held them in bondage for years! Or do you think it’s a disease?
And It’s Not A Bad Thing to open the Ears of the Deaf instead of sitting them in a special section to have someone to do sign language for them!
And it’s not out of Gods power to raise the Dead to Life! I am not talking spiritual dead! Yes I am really saying raising the Dead to life!
Yes I am really saying casting Demons out of people and making the Lame Walk!!!
I am saying that when the Scripture says we “Put On Christ” and that we are hidden in Christ, and raised up above all principalities and powers, that it’s truly Jesus (if we allow Him to manifest His life and power in us) working the work’s of the Father through us, in Him!
But It IS a Bad Thing to give the enemy victory in a battle that the Lord Jesus, at a very huge cost, has already won!
It IS A Bad Thing to REJECT the gifts Christ bought for you, and allow the Enemy of our Souls to continue to SHAME us into thinking those verses should be ignored.
And it is a Bad Thing to just continue living like Satan’s slaves, when we are really Children of the King! These things are all ours, if we are in Christ… the same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead dwells in us richly!
The Lord gave me a great analogy of this one night, It’s like in the movie “Iron Man” the main character built this super hero flying suite that was deadly, I mean when he put on the Iron Man suit, you better hope you were on his side! This thing was amazing, and it was loaded for bear, but it didn’t work without the man inside!, and the man had no powers of his own, only when he put on that suit, but when he put the suit on… look out, they could kick some butt!
When we talk about putting on Christ, this is what we are doing, we are putting on the God of all creation and Nothing is Impossible! He is just waiting for us to utilize all that He has provided for us, waiting for us to take Him at His Word, to put on the suit! But most of us never do.
This is the way God operates in this earth, He gave us dominion, but we gave it to Satan, so now He must honor His Word by working through man. It’s the only way He can legally operate to get around Satan’s legal dominion in this world, Satan is the god of this world, look it up! This is a hard thing to hear, but God is Not the Sovigern ruler over this Earth, Satan and us the true Born Again Believers have joint custody and dominion! (and so far he is the only one exerting authority) It is through us, the regenerated believers in Jesus the Messiah that God has freedom to work in our world, this is one of the many things He purchased at Calvary! So when we, put on Christ, we are putting on the Supernatural, all Powerful, Glorious Son of the universe! We are God’s children, manifesting His will through His Son, and there is no limit to what Jesus can do through us if we realize this and walk in this authority! And there is nothing Satan can do to stop us in Christ or to stop Christ in us!
So you see… It’s Not A Bad Thing to want to see The Church finally Become the Manifested Sons of God that the entire earth is waiting for! To finally see the Hires of God walk in the Power and Authority of the Lord Jesus Chris!
The real Iron Man!

While they are trusting God for a $200 phone bill I am saying $200 million for missions isn’t even a drop in the bucket! When they are praying for relief of back pain, I am claiming perfect healing and cursing the cancer in my friend and knowing deep down in my heart that we should be at the children’s hospital laying hands on and healing children with muscular dystrophy and leukemia in the mighty name of Jesus!
“By this, they will know that you are my Disciples!”
I believe the Lord meant what He said, “ if you Believe… All Things Are Possible to him that Believes! I believe He meant Anything and Everything!
If you Believe… ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE…!
Mark 11: 22 Jesus said to them, “Have faith in God, 23 I can guarantee this truth: This is what will be done for someone who doesn't doubt in his heart but believes what he says will happen: He can say to this mountain, ‘Be uprooted and thrown into the sea,' and it will be done for him. 24 That's why I tell you to have faith that you have already received whatever it is you pray for, and it will be yours.
But I am still seeing squat in my own world! I know it’s true but I am going through !*&!!#%?
Well I ain’t going back… I know that I know, that I know, it’s TRUE! I tell you it’s all true! It’s Got To Be True!!! All of it! ALL OF IT!!! Jesus himself said; “these are the Miraculous Signs that WILL follow Believers!” and I am going to just act like He was telling the truth! Let them call me Crazy if they want!
The first clear breakthrough…
Then one evening, in a second, in a whisper, His Spirit told me that I should never be ashamed of believing, then almost in a gentle scolding He said; these are My Words, these words are all written in RED!, they were there for us, and they were there for a reason! He showed me that SHAME was one of the main things the devil was using to hold me back and not only me but most of the entire 21st century church in America! The Enemy had deceived me and most of the true Believers into thinking that it was wrong to expect the miraculous in our lives, the very thing that separates the true way of God, from all the man made demonic religions of the world. Buda never told his followers to heal the sick! Joseph Smith never told his followers to give sight to the blind! Mohamed never told his followers to raise the Dead! (only kill the unbelieving) So why did I not see these things manifesting in my life???
I was still living as if Satan was still my Slave Master! Even though Jesus had paid our ransom and secured our pardon, we were still sitting in this prison even after Jesus had blown the door off the cell! Satan had disarmed the entire church with a single thought which he had put into our minds over and over and over… You Should Be Ashamed of yourself for desiring any of these things! He would say; There are children starving and you selfishly ask God to bless you! Your just a greedy lover of money! You just want to bring glory to yourself!... on and on! What he didn’t mention about these starving children is that most of them are in Godless countries where he rules through all his false pagan religions!
Then as clear as a bell the God of all Glory inspired me to start thanking Him and praising Him, my wonderful Father in heaven let me know He loved me and freed me from this burden that had been restricting my heart for so long. Shame had hindered me from really believing this could be for me! He showed me clearly that in worshiping Him and thanking Him, He was freed to manifest His Glory and Blessing’s in my life, that it was a crucial connection or bridge that would join us more intimately. That when He says “He will inhabit our Praise” He really means, “He will inhabit our Praise”! He would pour His Holy Spirit down into us in a way that no other approach would allow! And just as Salvation was free so were all His other gifts, I could do no works to earn them, and He loved to give good gifts to His children! He told me I was always free to receive the inheritance and the power that His Son had died to purchase for me, it was always available to me as long as I had come out from under the law!
He reminded me that Satan was a lire and the father of lies, the enemy had used the church to first put me under the law where Christ was made of no effect in my life!, and then pump me full of Condemnation and make me feel Ashamed for believing these verses were really for us… FOR ME!... So even though Christ purchased my freedom, I didn’t know any better and I listened to and trusted other people rather than “only His word”! I had allowed myself to go back into bondage! Then on top of that was the years of lies and condemnation which depleted any power of Christ in my life. But the Lord, always leading and always calling me, had been waiting patiently for me to seek Him with all my heart!
Then like a veil being lifted from my eyes, I understood that God was showing me… telling me, that it is not a Bad Thing to take Him at His word! It wasn’t out of selfishness or some personal ego trip, my heart was for God’s kingdom, the condemnation wasn’t from God it was from the lire!
The Enemy of my soul had deceived me and Shamed me into feeling it was wrong to ever want these promises in my life, thinking it was only because of Greed, that I wanted to experience the Lords Manifested Word in my life, that it was from being self-centered, that it was all just plain sensationalism or name it and claim it, he made us think it was all kinds of garbage or hokies pokies, even demonic! But in reality the opposite was true, this was the very power that Christ won for us on Calvary! Satan had deceived the Body of Christ into calling good evil and robbed us of the true power that sets the followers of Jesus apart from all the Man Made religions in the world!
All of the verses that are completely ignored by 90% of the church, are the very life giving POWER, and the nuclear core of the Gospel, these are the heart of the Lords teachings that confirmed that the Lord was the true Messiah and that Christianity is the true way!
“Go into all the world and tell everyone the Good News, he that believes and is baptized will be saved …and these are the miraculous signs that will follow Believers in the Power and Authority of My Name they Will Force Demons out of people”… “the Gospel will be confirmed by signs and wonders”, “If you Believe you will see the Glory of god”, “As you go, spread this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven is near.' 8 Cure the sick, bring the dead back to life, cleanse the lepers, and force demons out of people. Give these things without charging, since you received them without paying”! These are ALL RED WORDS! And you may notice, these are not suggestions but Commandments!
So my friend it’s Not A Bad Thing to ask God to reveal Himself to us in an amazing personal way! Jer. 29:13
And it’s Not A Bad Thing to desire to see miracles working in your life! Mark 16
And it’s Not A Bad Thing to desire and expect the ability to lay hands on the sick and see them healed, right then and their! Math. 10:7
And it’s Not A Bad Thing to ask God for His Blessing on our work and everything we do! Mal.3:11
And it’s Not A Bad Thing to want a good home for our Families and a safe place for our children to play! Psalm 37:3
And it’s Not A Bad Thing to want good days full of peace and prosperity to enjoy with our Wives and Children, to eat drink and be merry! For there is a season for everything. Ecc.
And it’s Not A Bad Thing to want an Abundant life and Wealth to provide an inheritance for our Children and Grandchildren and to have enough overflow to feed the poor and always be ready to help others in need! John 10:10 and 2 Cor. 9:11
And it’s Not A Bad Thing to want to take Authority over the powers of darkness and command them to flee in the Power and Authority of the name of Jesus! Luke 10:17
And it’s Not A Bad Thing to claim all the promises of God and ask for the better gifts! 1Cor. 12:31
It Doesn’t bring Glory to God when His church is beaten down broken and defeated! When they only have a form of godliness but No power!
It Doesn’t bring Glory to God when His church is so bound up in debt and finical stress that they can’t pay their own bills on time, and there good name is besmirched and much worse the name of Christ is shamed.
It Doesn’t bring Glory to God when His Children are Divorcing at a rate as high as the unbelievers because they are so disillusioned and beaten down, living in failure and defeat!
It Doesn’t bring Glory to God when Your prayers are empty and cold, when there is no power or life in your Christian walk, when you can’t even remember what it was like to feel that excitement and passion of your faith, Or even if you had Faith!
Do you see it’s Not A Bad Thing to want to see the Lame Walk! It would be evil to say that it’s Gods will for these children to be deformed and bound to a wheel chair!
And it’s Not A Bad Thing to want to have money to feed the poor! What do you think that the wicked of the world will have more compassion for the poor and needy than YOU?
And it’s Not A Bad Thing to give Sight to the Blind, Jesus did it on a regular basis!
It’s Not A Bad Thing to see alcoholics and drug addicts delivered from the Demon’s that have held them in bondage for years! Or do you think it’s a disease?
And It’s Not A Bad Thing to open the Ears of the Deaf instead of sitting them in a special section to have someone to do sign language for them!
And it’s not out of Gods power to raise the Dead to Life! I am not talking spiritual dead! Yes I am really saying raising the Dead to life!
Yes I am really saying casting Demons out of people and making the Lame Walk!!!
I am saying that when the Scripture says we “Put On Christ” and that we are hidden in Christ, and raised up above all principalities and powers, that it’s truly Jesus (if we allow Him to manifest His life and power in us) working the work’s of the Father through us, in Him!
But It IS a Bad Thing to give the enemy victory in a battle that the Lord Jesus, at a very huge cost, has already won!
It IS A Bad Thing to REJECT the gifts Christ bought for you, and allow the Enemy of our Souls to continue to SHAME us into thinking those verses should be ignored.
And it is a Bad Thing to just continue living like Satan’s slaves, when we are really Children of the King! These things are all ours, if we are in Christ… the same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead dwells in us richly!
The Lord gave me a great analogy of this one night, It’s like in the movie “Iron Man” the main character built this super hero flying suite that was deadly, I mean when he put on the Iron Man suit, you better hope you were on his side! This thing was amazing, and it was loaded for bear, but it didn’t work without the man inside!, and the man had no powers of his own, only when he put on that suit, but when he put the suit on… look out, they could kick some butt!
When we talk about putting on Christ, this is what we are doing, we are putting on the God of all creation and Nothing is Impossible! He is just waiting for us to utilize all that He has provided for us, waiting for us to take Him at His Word, to put on the suit! But most of us never do.
This is the way God operates in this earth, He gave us dominion, but we gave it to Satan, so now He must honor His Word by working through man. It’s the only way He can legally operate to get around Satan’s legal dominion in this world, Satan is the god of this world, look it up! This is a hard thing to hear, but God is Not the Sovigern ruler over this Earth, Satan and us the true Born Again Believers have joint custody and dominion! (and so far he is the only one exerting authority) It is through us, the regenerated believers in Jesus the Messiah that God has freedom to work in our world, this is one of the many things He purchased at Calvary! So when we, put on Christ, we are putting on the Supernatural, all Powerful, Glorious Son of the universe! We are God’s children, manifesting His will through His Son, and there is no limit to what Jesus can do through us if we realize this and walk in this authority! And there is nothing Satan can do to stop us in Christ or to stop Christ in us!
So you see… It’s Not A Bad Thing to want to see The Church finally Become the Manifested Sons of God that the entire earth is waiting for! To finally see the Hires of God walk in the Power and Authority of the Lord Jesus Chris!
The real Iron Man!
Die You Fool, Die You Fool and Live
How many times have we heard it, the Lord Himself told us “if we loose our lives for His sake, we will gain it”! However, Killing this flesh is a daunting task. For years of my walk with the Lord I had only seen glimpses of the prize (a life of freedom and power) and had experienced moments of clarity on how completely sensible it would be to truly live in that surrendered state of mind, and I can honestly say I experienced that true state of absolute surrender before, it was only for moments but what a glorious sense of peace it was to be willing to be totally in His Will! As always the flesh pulled and pulled at me and I too often surrendered to the voice of the enemy instead of running to the way of escape, the gentle calling of the Spirit.
It took years of God gently guiding me, but this bit of understanding I have attained and have absolute confidence in, … when we truly die to ourselves, we can really enter into and can enjoy the battle for the souls of Man! What battle you say? The true work of the Lord, the battle for the souls of God’s children, which is our ultimate purpose in life. When we have our heart aligned with God’s heart, we will not be constantly longing for the things that so easily distract us, the constant barrage of the things of the world, the carrots that Satan is always throwing in our faces, the big homes or cars or other toys, the sexual enticements or the pursuit of power or wealth. Our flesh is always hungering for something, but it’s just an illusion, a seductive illusion of promised satisfaction, a mirage that is never attainable!
The foolish still think the hunger can be satisfied!
The darkness often looks soft, sensuous and satisfying, we think, oh this will quench this unrelenting thirst I have, this will make me happy!, another drink, another line, another sexual encounter, another husband or wife, but it never quenches the hunger, its only candy coated poison and pain, an empty promise of satisfaction. Don’t waste your life chasing them, they are no more real or satisfying than an air brushed photograph in a glossy magazine!
Satan never delivers on his promises, he is always calling you to go deeper, just a little further he says, and you will experience your greatest desires, but deep down we know it’s only a lie, an empty lifeless mirage! And then, even worse, when we reject the pleading of God’s Holy Spirit and finally surrender to the temptation, satan pours a flood of condemnation and judgment down upon us!
You are Spirit, and only God’s spiritual gifts will satisfy and fill your hungry soul!
When we go against the lust of the eye and yield to the voice of the spirit, when we completely surrender and die to ourselves, when we dive into the life truly given to Christ, when we climb out of this body of death, and leave our flesh in the grave where it belongs, we can finally taste true and complete satisfaction. Ultimately we will discover that the more we surrender the more overwhelming the satisfaction becomes.
Only the indulgence in the things of God is there absolute thirst quenching satisfaction! The deeper you go with the Spirit, the more Glory is revealed and the power and light become brighter and stronger. The things we were convinced were boring and dull (prayer and worship?) are the very things that transport us into the deepest joy and open the door to this exciting world of the spirit that we unknowingly have longed for all our lives! Oh if I knew this before I wasted so many years trying to quench the hunger of this monstrous flesh!
You have got to realize, we have been given the honor of serving along side of the King of the Universe! You can serve an important roll in the plan of the God of creation, we are enlisted in the Lords army, you have been given an invitation to come to the table and be counted in the inner circle of God’s elite soldiers! You have been given the honor of being privy to the private secret consul of the Holy Spirit of GOD!
If we will accept the mission, we will live forever remembering these days for all eternity, these days in enemy territory, in direct combat with supernatural fallen creatures, and the more we surrender the more revelation we are given, and the more Glory is revealed! We may not see ourselves playing a major roll in God’s plan, but maybe He has a bigger plan for us than we do…
Are you willing to go deeper? Are you really all in?
Or do you think… I would rather get a bigger???
Taste and see that the Lord is Awesome!
Sincerely Surrendered

Chosen in Eternity
“DO NOT BE DECEIVED”
Dear You,
You have this little book in your hands right now because someone cares for you and wants to make sure you know the truth, not some twisted perversion of the truth that has been passed down from generation to generation and from the deceiver to the deceived, but the clear and simple truth of a Father that loves His children and is doing everything He can to rescue them from a wicked murderous liar.
I know in the past you may have talked to someone about God or heard about someone’s faith, or you may have been approached by someone telling you, “You’re going to hell” if you don’t go to their church! Just because some supposed preacher has told you something about God doesn’t necessarily mean it’s true. Regardless of your past experience, if you would please allow me just a few minutes of your life, I think I can help shed some light on the subject.
“In the last days there will be many false teachers!”
(this is a promise made in the scriptures by Jesus Him self)
This is not just talking about some little difference of opinion this is eluding to major deception and deadly eternal damnation kind of stuff.
Please believe me, you may not think it important now but during the last few moments of your life here on earth you will wonder why you didn’t spend your entire life perusing this information! At that moment you will realize it was the most important thing in all of life, and if you would have pursued it you would have found it to be the most wonderful and exciting aspect of this life, the problem is you won’t be able to change much at that point. So please don’t let this be your greatest regret in all eternity! So again if you would please allow me a few minutes of your time to share with you something that is direly important for you to know and understand, and when it is all said and done you just may find it to be the very thing you have unknowingly been looking for all your life.
Now I know many of you may say you don’t believe in God or you already believe in your own religion, or you heard it all before… well please, just humor me for a few minutes, you may be shocked to find that you have never heard this side of the story. Why… because 99% of the “churches” out there just don’t teach you this, they would rather just keep beating you down into submission with all kinds of manmade laws and nonsense!
I was in church for 20 years and never heard this! So now, at least you will have a better understanding and a different perspective of what is truly possible for you to experience in this, the most important subject in the universe.
So let’s just say for now, hypothetically… just hypothetically that what I am about to tell you is all true?
The first thing we need to do is strip away all of the non-biblical garbage teaching out there and realize that a large portion of what you have heard is just manmade religion, and that may have fallen short of clearly explaining the simple joy and wonder of the relationship we can have with God. Yes I mean the Real God and a real relationship where He speaks to you and you talk to Him, He will reveal things to you and show you wonderful glimpses of glory and eternity! But again I stress to you the word simple, this is not about a set of rules or laws, or incantations and rituals! This News is about a simple one on one relationship with God! It’s about freedom!
If the “your all going to Hell” screamers out there would read the Red Letters in their Bible, they would see the words of Jesus to the masses of people were words of Hope, comfort and Freedom, the only people that He spoke of Condemnation to were conmen and the self righteous Religious leaders who were hateful wolves and power hungry hypocrites!
The word Gospel means, Good News, and contrary to what a lot of misled preachers out there are saying, the good news was NOT that you’re all
going to Hell if you don’t do what I say, (that don’t sound like good news to me) the good news was that God is trying to rescue us from the most powerful demonic creature in the universe, and if we would place our trust in Him we would become free from Satan and the law of sin and death.
It’s a shame that so many of the leaders in the church are beating up their flock every week with the very thing that Jesus taught against! He came to free us from the curse and punishment of the law and to show us we can never make it on our own, but that we can trust in Him to bring us safely home. There are so many false prophet and blind teachers out there, it’s no wonder so many people are confused and discouraged and want nothing to do with Religion! Well that’s a good place to start, because I don’t want anything to do with Religion either!
So the first thing you must understand about God is that He really loves you! He is not some wrathful monster looking for a reason to destroy you, or to trick you out of making it to Heaven! He Loves You perfectly and completely, in spite of all of our failures. He wants us to come to Him so He can save and protect us and so we can know Him personally and intimately. Most people have never heard, much less understood the simple beautiful message of Jesus, I have come to set the captives FREE.
Now don’t get me wrong, there is a Monster out their killing thousands everyday with disease and tornados and floods and hurricanes, starvation and murder, Drugs and Alcohol! He is always searching around for someone to destroy, but it is not God Killing people… We are in a fallen world,… the scripture says Satan is the god or ruler of this world. We are in enemy territory and must be on guard so we are not deceived! Satan is very real and very involved in this deception and he is a master at using the teachings of charlatans and fools out there twisting the Word of God to destroy as many as he can.
So if you would please do me the honor of reading this whole letter, then I will know, that you “know” the clear simple truth of Gods plan for us. And hopefully you will glimpse the depth of God’s love for YOU.
Won’t You Please Come In!?
Before time began, God, the creator of the universe choose you for eternity. You were created to become a magnificent heavenly being, your true self is spirit wrapped in an earthly body. You were originally designed to live forever as an unblemished creature, perfect and powerful in design. In fact you were fashioned to walk with God and the host of heaven for all eternity! Please believe me there is an eternity ahead of us and we get to choose where we spend it.
Even though you are now trapped in this earthly body wrought with pain and sickness, this putrid prison of decaying flesh, this is not the home that you were created for! That true home is with God, and He is coming back to rescue you!
This God, you can know intimately! That was His plan from the beginning, He created you in His image and likeness, He knew you before you were born and He see’s you as you will be, in your perfect glorious state. This amazing God desired to share all the glories of his Kingdom with His beloved children! You are desperately loved, and He wants to share His Kingdom with all of us that will turn back to Him.
As we talk, I know my description of our relationship with God and His heart towards us will fall drastically short of what He really feels for us. And even though I have comprehended a small glimpse of this amazing good news, I know there are no words to truly express His Love towards us. So to the best of my ability I will try to give you a small glimpse of the Love of God, or to describe the indescribable.
As I mentioned, God, the tri-union Creator, Father, Son and Holy Spirit (we can talk about this later) desired to share all the glories of His Kingdom with His children, with you! I imagine His feelings were not unlike what we have all experienced at one time or another, maybe you’ve looked out over a tranquil rolling ocean and watched an incredibly beautiful sunset, or gazed up into an amazing star filled sky on a crystal clear night amazed at the awesomeness of it, but you were all alone, the ones you love were not there to share it with you, you desire them to be blessed by it’s magnificence, but short of them being there, nothing could ever convey the total emotion and power of the experience, you simply want them to be there with you, but they are not… This is similar, to a much smaller degree, of what God desires to share with you.
But let’s take this one step closer to the real situation; let’s say that the ones you loved had been kidnapped and taken captive and were enduring brutal rape and torture and in addition were being brainwashed into believing that you hated them and caused this to happen to them. And to make it worse, every time you sent someone to rescue them they refused to believe them and rejected their offer of rescue and salvation. This is God’s real dilemma with us, but we reject all His efforts to save us! How heart wrenching it would be for you to experience your own children being kidnapped and then even worse them being turned against you!
You see God desperately desires to rescue you and for you to enjoy all the glories of His universe with Him. He desires companionship with His children!
Someone might say what about the angles, God has millions of angles to fellowship with, but you see the angles are different from man. God desired someone like himself, Body, Soul and Spirit, you see the angles are different from us, they were not created in the image of God like you were, also they were not created with the purpose to procreate, and this, I believe is a major factor in our differences. God created us to be similar to Him with emotions, and passions and the desire to create and procreate.
The bottom line is simply, God desired to have Children and then to share all the wonders of the universe with us. His intent was ultimately to have someone to share His Love with, in fact I believe the whole purpose He created us was, to share His Unlimited Love with Us!
The scripture says God Is LOVE, it’s not just that He has love, but it is His core being, and love can only be complete when it is acted upon or given to someone. To have true love is not just to have some gushy feeling, or some overwhelming titillation for someone, it’s not about yourself, it’s that overwhelming desire to do something for or with someone else. Love, is an action directed towards that incredible someone that your heart has melted for, the ones that fill your heart and dreams with joy, be it your mate or your child or family. Real love is all the same thing, you just want to be with them! When you love someone, even doing nothing with them is a thousand times better than having the wealth of the world without them!
You see God’s greatest joy is to Love us, and then the ultimate consummation is when we freely choose to love Him back, then His joy is realized! The scripture says that all of the Angles in Heaven rejoice when just one of God’s children turn back to Him!
His hope for us is to share all the glories of heaven with us. Just as so many of us have desired to have a child, and when the child arrives we can never describe the total consuming overflowing love we have for that beautiful creation, we desire to share all the riches of the world with this precious little gift from God, we want to hold them and protect them! We would lay down our life for this child even before it was born.
Guess what, you are that long awaited, passionately loved little child, that funny pudgy face little boy or that delicate little flower of a girl! This is how God see’s us, believe it or not you’re his little one. You are the Fathers priceless joy, You Are The One He longs to see and hold for all eternity. How can I convince you of His love and of His sacrifice for you even before you were conceived! He knew you, and was making wonderful plans for you and Him together in eternity!
Even after you grew older and made horrible choices that hurt other’s, even when you were in complete rebellion living a totally self-centered life, even through all those years when you didn’t want to think about Him, when your thoughts were full of lust and lies, selfishness and hatred, He was still calling out to you. The Father without a second thought gave the most precious treasure in the entire universe to pay your ransom, to buy you back from the prince of darkness. You see, in your rebellion Satan was the legal title holder to your soul, you don’t have to sell it to him, he already owns it. Even though you may think you’re a good person, you were still in rebellion against God, and in turn, in allegiance with the deceiver!
But take courage the Father has not given up on you! In all of eternity past, through hundreds of billions of years as one, God had never before been separated from His Son! For in all of eternity God had never found something so valuable so precious that He could even consider, much less justify being separated from His beloved Son, until now!
For all of eternity past they had walked as one, and now, not only would they experience separation but the Father would have to offer His Son up to Satan as a sacrifice, and a ransom to Win YOU Back.
The Holy Lamb of God, Jesus, would have to leave heaven and enter this world as an ordinary human, a helpless baby, God in a diaper… I know that is hard to imagine, but this had to be done to satisfy the legal requirement established at the beginning of this world! (The punishment for sin is Death! Human sin = Human death) The truth is, sense all of us have sinned, all of us were sentenced to Death!
God the Son, the Glorious Prince of the Universe would now leave Heaven and enter this world as a normal human just like you and me. He would now experience hunger and pain, loneliness and confusion, He would experience the bitter cold sleeping outside in freezing temperatures, many nights soaking wet from rain and snow, He would be subject to overwhelming exestuation, pouring Himself out to the hoards of needy desperate people day after day! He would spend hours and hours out under the blazing sun sweating and stinking and preaching in sweltering heat, healing and feeding and teaching and encouraging thousands of people every day, battling with demon after demon that held His people in bondage to drugs and alcohol and all kinds of perversions! And yes He would sweat and stink and have to go to the bathroom just like the rest of the human race. The God of the universe came to earth shedding His glory and majesty to become a man like you so He would qualify to stand in your place at the final judgment.
God the Creator came for YOU!
(Right about now you may be thinking, He wouldn’t come for me, I have been to rotten, I’ve done too many horrible things… Don’t let Satan trick you with that lie!, he has lead millions into hell with that little lie, he hates God and can only get back at Him by killing His children)
Hear me, That’s A Lie, Your Sin Is Not Greater Than God’s Love For You, And Your Sin Is Certainly Not Greater Than God’ Sacrifice For YOU!
Jesus the Lord of glory would taste betrayal and fear, He would be mocked and spit upon, they would rip His beard out of His face, they would put a bag over His head and take turns beating Him, they would tie Him to a post and then tear His back apart with a brutal Roman whip called a cat-o-nine tails used for torture!
It is written that He was beaten so severally that the people couldn’t recognize that it was a man.
And then they would take our Hope, “Your Hope” the final sacrifice, the Father’s unimaginable offering to Satan, and they would parade Him through the streets Bloody and exposed, the God of all Creation brutalized and naked covered in blood, sweat, spit and humiliation. As all the demons of hell rejoiced and squealed with joy as the crowds joined them in their uncontrolled blood lust. He was all the time Steadfast about why He would do this, always thinking about the prize! Why… LOVE, so we could know without any doubt that He Loves Us, and would do whatever it took to redeem us!
He Loves Us! YES… Oh How He Loves US!
Then they would lay Him down on that wicked rugged cross, Him already so broken and battered, His back already torn apart, nerve endings and muscles tissue exposed, they would take the cruel spikes and drive them through His wonderful hands, the same hands that had just hours before washed the feet of His friends, and before that these hands had broke the bread and gave it to them, before that they made mud for the eyes of the blind man and before that touched and cleansed a leper and before that they held the children as He bid them to come, oh those wonderful hands…
Then the single spike for His beautiful feet, the same feet that had walked the golden streets of Heaven in eternity past, the same feet that walked upon the water that stormy night, the same feet that the Harlot had washed with her tears and dried with her hair just a few days before, the same feet that Mary had anointed with that wonderful perfume, (I wonder could the soldiers still smell the fragrance?) Oh His beautiful feet, “beautiful are the feet of the one who brings good news” and he did bring us good news. His feet, the same feet that had walked from village to village day after day calling us to Himself, calling us home, and the same feet that had just walked up Calvary’s hill, to the place of the Skull, now in just a few hours these same feet would stand in the pit of Hell!
Then the final miracle, the miracle of all miracles, (if Satan had known this, he would have never killed our King), the Father would collect every sin from every man woman and child throughout all of the history of the earth, every one of our sins every lie, every betrayal, every rape, every child molestation, every murder, every act of adultery and homosexuality every stinking lustful desire and wicked murderous thought, and He, the Father, would now have to pour this massive putrid concentration of demonic perversity onto His own innocent, gentle, sinless Son. This single act a thousand times worse than the torturous work of the soldiers! Jesus the only Holy One, the only human in all history to never commit a single sin, would become Sin it’s self for us!
And then the Father would unleash His wrath on His own Child, the wrath that was stored up for your sins and mine, the wrath stored up for the Billions of people throughout the history of the whole world would be poured out like a tidal wave, now focused on that one Human body, the Lamb of God, the Man who is God would now take the punishment for all of mankind’s wickedness, all of us worthy of eternal damnation!
It was only after that, that He would cried out… It Is Finished! And finally, He and all the wicked act’s of man were dragged down into hell where He would deposit the sins of the entire world for all eternity, never to be judged again!
Then, and only then, the price of our ransom was paid and we could now be set free, the Debt paid in full!
So do we ever dare ask,… does God really love me? YES GOD LOVES YOU!
He is not your enemy, He is your biggest fan cheering you on and calling you home. He goes around heaven elbowing all the Angles, saying look at my little lamb, ain’t he great! You never need to fear or dread this Father, “but ye received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father” that is to say Daddy Daddy, He, the Father, is our Father and has proven His unmatched Love for us! Our God loves us!, absolutely and perfectly! He has compassion for us and knows that we are just little babies searching for the way to go. That’s why His own Son, Jesus, had to sneak into our world, win us back from Satan and then show us the way home.
The enemy had already deceived millions of people and misled them into hundreds of false religions, all with a different set of laws and rules to confuse us, rules we can never keep anyhow. And that’s the whole point, Jesus knew we could never keep the rules, not even one, just one failure and we would be doomed, (remember there was only one rule in the garden yet…) that’s why He came and did it for us!
Don’t let yourself become a trophy of Satan, falling for his lies of self righteousness and petty works to help earn your salvation! How could we ever add to what He did for us! It’s a disgusting insult to even try! His Blood that was poured out for us was Holy and pristine, pure and perfect, yet you think you can add something to this perfect sacrifice you think that you could pour some of your putrid disease ridden blood into the offering, into the blood of the King of the universe and improve on what God had to do to His precious Lamb? And what, make it holier? What kind of petty works can you add to complete perfection?! We could only defile the sacrifice. Jesus came to set the captives free, to give sight to the blind, to heal the sick, cast out the demons, to proclaim the true way to the Father and raise the dead to LIFE! Are You Alive?
No flaming hoops to jump through, No law to keep, No 2yr mission trips, No praying in public 5 times a day, No snake charming, No secret rituals, No holy absurd underwear, No pilgrimages, No divesting one’s self of self desires, (good luck with that one)!And Yes you can play music in church and you can wear pants and you dont have to go to church on Saturday or Sunday for all that matter
YES! You must be Born Again to enter heaven, but this is not some kind of trick to keep you out of heaven, this is what happens when you finally come to the point of true surrender, this is the first miracle of your walk with God! And you will know for sure when this happens to you, it’s not something you do it’s something that happens to you when you come to that point of total release.
We live Godley because we love Him, not to appease Him! After all He has done for me, I want to show Him I Love Him, and want to make Him proud of me! You see He is not so far away from you as a lifetime of prideful works, He is right NOW standing at the door waiting for you to invite Him in!
We only need to humble ourselves and say, yes Jesus I need a savior, I need You! I surrender my life to you, Forgive me for all my sins, and Thank You!...
It’s that simple.
Still Not Sure… Final Thoughts;
You see, where you spend eternity is your choice, God created you to be like Him, and to spend forever with Him in paradise, but He gave you Freewill to choose to love Him or reject Him. This was the terrifying cost of the opportunity for true love! And this was the only way to achieve true love. If there was no option for you to reject God plan for you then there would be no true freedom to choose to love God. You see your freewill comes at a great price; it’s a great gift but also a great danger and curse! Why is it a curse? And why is it so dangerous? Because millions and millions, if not billions have already and will still choose the darkness rather than the light, and if God intervened in their choice to commit wicked and evil act’s against other humans, than there would never really be a free choice!
Freewill is the only way to achieve true love, but the cost was that the Father would have to allow you and the millions of His other children who choose to love Him, to be brutalized, betrayed, cheated, tortured, raped, mutilated and murdered by the ones who have exercised their freewill to reject Him. Instead they listen to the voice of Satan. And it only takes a short look around the world to see his handy work drawing men into all forms of horrendous wickedness.
Whole nations think it’s ok to murder Christians and Jew’s or any other religion they don’t like, they think it’s ok to blowup innocent children on school busses, they think it’s ok to mutilate young girls and they teach that women are property, they think it’s ok to sell their young daughters into prostitution, precious little baby girls of two and three years old sold to perverted monsters to be raped and brutalized for the rest of their short lives! In other countries they murder infant girls because they want a male child to pass on the family name. And others ignore the needs of the starving children all around them saying it’s their karma, and just walk past foolishly thinking they are superior because of some supposed holy life they had lived in another incarnation that they have imagined.
And we could go on and on with this, but Do you now see now… The Price of Freewill!
How much more do you need, what more can I say…
The stage is set, the battle lines are clearly marked, the universal tribunal has witnessed the wicked results of a life surrendered to the darkness and the lust’s of our flesh. And now we must make a choice, because not too choose is not an option. God will not force anyone to enter into heaven and He will not send anyone to hell! (oh my gosh!!??... What did he say?) “God will not send anyone to hell”, they will go there of their own freewill by rejecting Gods open invitation to come to Him! “come to me all you who are burdened and heavy laden and I will give you rest, for My yoke is easy and My burden is light” “behold I stand at the door and knock, if anyone, “ANYONE” will open the door I will come in” “do not let your heart be troubled, believe in God, and believe also in Me, for in My Fathers house are many mansions, if it were not so I would have told you, I go to prepare a place for you” .
You see we were all, already destine for separation from God because we have all lived our lives in rebellion refusing Gods Ultimate Gift. Unless we take hold of the life raft that the Father has sent to rescue us, we are already dammed.
How heart wrenching it must be for Him to watch the thousands pass by every day cursing Him and rejecting His desperate efforts to convince them to enter into His Arc, but their deception is so deep, their heart so harden and black that they only curse and rant all the louder, and in the end, most of them still press on into the darkness looking for the god’s they have created in their minds and they will stay there in the darkness separated from God’s eternal kingdom of their own volition.
The only way anyone will enter hell is by refusing to enter the beautiful Open Gates of Heaven, the gate is right there, easy to find, just look for a bloody cross and a loving savior with His arms open wide bidding all to come to me, and I will in no way cast you out. Only Jesus has dealt with your sin’s, all other paths leave you to try to earn your own salvation by appeasing some wrathful deity. But that path, the path to hell goes right pass the cross and you can only get there by rejecting the free gift that God prepared for you, by allowing His own Son to be sacrificed for you.
I hate to think of it but with arrogant pride they pass by repeating the mantra, I don’t accept your God’s narrow minded path! My god doesn’t send people to hell, all paths lead to my god, oh please realize you are making your own god / Idol and bowing down before it. This is something people imagined in their mind to hold on to their selfish pride and sexual lust instead of admitting they need a savior! And yes they are correct, all other paths do lead to their god, and Satan is laughing at how easy it is to deceive the human race. They think the empty short lived pleasures of this world that Satan offers can somehow compare to the eternal glorious wonders that God has created for them in His kingdom!
Satan often masquerades as an angel of light and as a sensual god of goodness! But don’t be deceived He is a liar and only delivers pain destruction and death, candy coated poison!
So will you surrender to your loving creator and believe what you know deep in your heart to be true, that you are in desperate need of a savior! You see, you are in desperate need of a substitution, or a scapegoat,… for your sins are many!
Will you believe Him, and enter the Kingdom that He created you for, a kingdom of light and wonder and joy a kingdom of Love and beauty and adventure, or will you reject His calls and choose to enter an eternity separated from Him in a kingdom outside of His realm, separated from light and beauty, separated from companionship and love, an eternity spent in your own rotting flesh, the putrid undying prison of your own choosing! Utter darkness devoid of any hope for all eternity?
You must realize that if God is, as He say’s; Love, Light, Truth, Joy and goodness, then separation from God is a place void of those very things. Why would anyone choose an eternity in a place without light without love… no hope no warmth no purpose, only empty unending thirst, hunger and darkness! Why? Pride, Lust, self righteousness, bitterness? You see you will still experience all of your hungers from this world, they will never subside nor will they ever be satisfied again, imagine being desperately thirsty and never tasting a drop of cool water again!
Tell me this; what is so wonderful in your life right now that you would risk eternity to hold onto? You know what you would need to give up to surrender your life to Jesus?... It’s just as the song says, Come Just As You Are!
Don’t believe the liar, God loves you and has paid your ransom so you can come back to Him, you are free!
So the choice is simple, it’s black and white, light or darkness, our God loves us completely and bankrupted heaven to ransom you from the hands of Satan. We all, every one of us including me & you, had been storing up wrath all of our lives… do you agree or have you never told a lie or stolen anything, have you never cursed or been hateful without reason, or are you still trying to compare yourself to other wicked people thinking you’re not as big a sinner as they are, the problem is that they are Not the standard, Jesus is!
Every sin you ever committed has already been paid for 2000 yr’s ago on the very cross that you stand before today! What you are reading now is a desperate plea from a loving Father trying to rescue YOU, His precious child! The only requirement is that you go to the Savior at the gate marked Paid In Full, lay down your own self-righteousness at His nail pierced feet, and receive His free gift of forgiveness Now, before you step through the vial of death.
Again He calls… Come to me all you who labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest,.. I go to prepare a place for you where there is No more pain, No more sickness No more sorrow No more betrayal No more goodbyes, No More DEATH.
My Children, my Father, my Mother, my Family my Friends, wont you lay your heart down and come with me on this Eternal Adventure, do you not hunger for true purpose in this life, the King of the universe, King Jesus is calling you and all of His Children, to wake up out of your stupor, shake off the deception of the liar and run to the open arms of your savior.
This I promise you, if you seek Him with all your heart, you will find Him, He is always near to those who have a humble spirit!
For eye has not seen nor has the mind comprehended the things that I have prepared for you!
Love The Lamb
P.S. The first thing you should do after you surrender to Jesus is to go and read the Gospel (good news) of Mark and then John. DON”T go to any church for at least a few months! Just read your Bible every day and let God speak to you through it, read the 4 gospels and the book of Act’s and Romans and the rest of the New Testament, read Galatians 5 or 10 times, don’t get sucked into legalism and rituals let the Holy Spirit fill you and teach you. Look at the first century church, true Christianity is full of power and revelation, read about the Gifts of the Holy Spirit and expect to see them manifest in your life!
May God Abundantly Bless You, and make His Glory Shine Upon You!

Dear You,
You have this little book in your hands right now because someone cares for you and wants to make sure you know the truth, not some twisted perversion of the truth that has been passed down from generation to generation and from the deceiver to the deceived, but the clear and simple truth of a Father that loves His children and is doing everything He can to rescue them from a wicked murderous liar.
I know in the past you may have talked to someone about God or heard about someone’s faith, or you may have been approached by someone telling you, “You’re going to hell” if you don’t go to their church! Just because some supposed preacher has told you something about God doesn’t necessarily mean it’s true. Regardless of your past experience, if you would please allow me just a few minutes of your life, I think I can help shed some light on the subject.
“In the last days there will be many false teachers!”
(this is a promise made in the scriptures by Jesus Him self)
This is not just talking about some little difference of opinion this is eluding to major deception and deadly eternal damnation kind of stuff.
Please believe me, you may not think it important now but during the last few moments of your life here on earth you will wonder why you didn’t spend your entire life perusing this information! At that moment you will realize it was the most important thing in all of life, and if you would have pursued it you would have found it to be the most wonderful and exciting aspect of this life, the problem is you won’t be able to change much at that point. So please don’t let this be your greatest regret in all eternity! So again if you would please allow me a few minutes of your time to share with you something that is direly important for you to know and understand, and when it is all said and done you just may find it to be the very thing you have unknowingly been looking for all your life.
Now I know many of you may say you don’t believe in God or you already believe in your own religion, or you heard it all before… well please, just humor me for a few minutes, you may be shocked to find that you have never heard this side of the story. Why… because 99% of the “churches” out there just don’t teach you this, they would rather just keep beating you down into submission with all kinds of manmade laws and nonsense!
I was in church for 20 years and never heard this! So now, at least you will have a better understanding and a different perspective of what is truly possible for you to experience in this, the most important subject in the universe.
So let’s just say for now, hypothetically… just hypothetically that what I am about to tell you is all true?
The first thing we need to do is strip away all of the non-biblical garbage teaching out there and realize that a large portion of what you have heard is just manmade religion, and that may have fallen short of clearly explaining the simple joy and wonder of the relationship we can have with God. Yes I mean the Real God and a real relationship where He speaks to you and you talk to Him, He will reveal things to you and show you wonderful glimpses of glory and eternity! But again I stress to you the word simple, this is not about a set of rules or laws, or incantations and rituals! This News is about a simple one on one relationship with God! It’s about freedom!
If the “your all going to Hell” screamers out there would read the Red Letters in their Bible, they would see the words of Jesus to the masses of people were words of Hope, comfort and Freedom, the only people that He spoke of Condemnation to were conmen and the self righteous Religious leaders who were hateful wolves and power hungry hypocrites!
The word Gospel means, Good News, and contrary to what a lot of misled preachers out there are saying, the good news was NOT that you’re all
going to Hell if you don’t do what I say, (that don’t sound like good news to me) the good news was that God is trying to rescue us from the most powerful demonic creature in the universe, and if we would place our trust in Him we would become free from Satan and the law of sin and death.
It’s a shame that so many of the leaders in the church are beating up their flock every week with the very thing that Jesus taught against! He came to free us from the curse and punishment of the law and to show us we can never make it on our own, but that we can trust in Him to bring us safely home. There are so many false prophet and blind teachers out there, it’s no wonder so many people are confused and discouraged and want nothing to do with Religion! Well that’s a good place to start, because I don’t want anything to do with Religion either!
So the first thing you must understand about God is that He really loves you! He is not some wrathful monster looking for a reason to destroy you, or to trick you out of making it to Heaven! He Loves You perfectly and completely, in spite of all of our failures. He wants us to come to Him so He can save and protect us and so we can know Him personally and intimately. Most people have never heard, much less understood the simple beautiful message of Jesus, I have come to set the captives FREE.
Now don’t get me wrong, there is a Monster out their killing thousands everyday with disease and tornados and floods and hurricanes, starvation and murder, Drugs and Alcohol! He is always searching around for someone to destroy, but it is not God Killing people… We are in a fallen world,… the scripture says Satan is the god or ruler of this world. We are in enemy territory and must be on guard so we are not deceived! Satan is very real and very involved in this deception and he is a master at using the teachings of charlatans and fools out there twisting the Word of God to destroy as many as he can.
So if you would please do me the honor of reading this whole letter, then I will know, that you “know” the clear simple truth of Gods plan for us. And hopefully you will glimpse the depth of God’s love for YOU.
Won’t You Please Come In!?
Before time began, God, the creator of the universe choose you for eternity. You were created to become a magnificent heavenly being, your true self is spirit wrapped in an earthly body. You were originally designed to live forever as an unblemished creature, perfect and powerful in design. In fact you were fashioned to walk with God and the host of heaven for all eternity! Please believe me there is an eternity ahead of us and we get to choose where we spend it.
Even though you are now trapped in this earthly body wrought with pain and sickness, this putrid prison of decaying flesh, this is not the home that you were created for! That true home is with God, and He is coming back to rescue you!
This God, you can know intimately! That was His plan from the beginning, He created you in His image and likeness, He knew you before you were born and He see’s you as you will be, in your perfect glorious state. This amazing God desired to share all the glories of his Kingdom with His beloved children! You are desperately loved, and He wants to share His Kingdom with all of us that will turn back to Him.
As we talk, I know my description of our relationship with God and His heart towards us will fall drastically short of what He really feels for us. And even though I have comprehended a small glimpse of this amazing good news, I know there are no words to truly express His Love towards us. So to the best of my ability I will try to give you a small glimpse of the Love of God, or to describe the indescribable.
As I mentioned, God, the tri-union Creator, Father, Son and Holy Spirit (we can talk about this later) desired to share all the glories of His Kingdom with His children, with you! I imagine His feelings were not unlike what we have all experienced at one time or another, maybe you’ve looked out over a tranquil rolling ocean and watched an incredibly beautiful sunset, or gazed up into an amazing star filled sky on a crystal clear night amazed at the awesomeness of it, but you were all alone, the ones you love were not there to share it with you, you desire them to be blessed by it’s magnificence, but short of them being there, nothing could ever convey the total emotion and power of the experience, you simply want them to be there with you, but they are not… This is similar, to a much smaller degree, of what God desires to share with you.
But let’s take this one step closer to the real situation; let’s say that the ones you loved had been kidnapped and taken captive and were enduring brutal rape and torture and in addition were being brainwashed into believing that you hated them and caused this to happen to them. And to make it worse, every time you sent someone to rescue them they refused to believe them and rejected their offer of rescue and salvation. This is God’s real dilemma with us, but we reject all His efforts to save us! How heart wrenching it would be for you to experience your own children being kidnapped and then even worse them being turned against you!
You see God desperately desires to rescue you and for you to enjoy all the glories of His universe with Him. He desires companionship with His children!
Someone might say what about the angles, God has millions of angles to fellowship with, but you see the angles are different from man. God desired someone like himself, Body, Soul and Spirit, you see the angles are different from us, they were not created in the image of God like you were, also they were not created with the purpose to procreate, and this, I believe is a major factor in our differences. God created us to be similar to Him with emotions, and passions and the desire to create and procreate.
The bottom line is simply, God desired to have Children and then to share all the wonders of the universe with us. His intent was ultimately to have someone to share His Love with, in fact I believe the whole purpose He created us was, to share His Unlimited Love with Us!
The scripture says God Is LOVE, it’s not just that He has love, but it is His core being, and love can only be complete when it is acted upon or given to someone. To have true love is not just to have some gushy feeling, or some overwhelming titillation for someone, it’s not about yourself, it’s that overwhelming desire to do something for or with someone else. Love, is an action directed towards that incredible someone that your heart has melted for, the ones that fill your heart and dreams with joy, be it your mate or your child or family. Real love is all the same thing, you just want to be with them! When you love someone, even doing nothing with them is a thousand times better than having the wealth of the world without them!
You see God’s greatest joy is to Love us, and then the ultimate consummation is when we freely choose to love Him back, then His joy is realized! The scripture says that all of the Angles in Heaven rejoice when just one of God’s children turn back to Him!
His hope for us is to share all the glories of heaven with us. Just as so many of us have desired to have a child, and when the child arrives we can never describe the total consuming overflowing love we have for that beautiful creation, we desire to share all the riches of the world with this precious little gift from God, we want to hold them and protect them! We would lay down our life for this child even before it was born.
Guess what, you are that long awaited, passionately loved little child, that funny pudgy face little boy or that delicate little flower of a girl! This is how God see’s us, believe it or not you’re his little one. You are the Fathers priceless joy, You Are The One He longs to see and hold for all eternity. How can I convince you of His love and of His sacrifice for you even before you were conceived! He knew you, and was making wonderful plans for you and Him together in eternity!
Even after you grew older and made horrible choices that hurt other’s, even when you were in complete rebellion living a totally self-centered life, even through all those years when you didn’t want to think about Him, when your thoughts were full of lust and lies, selfishness and hatred, He was still calling out to you. The Father without a second thought gave the most precious treasure in the entire universe to pay your ransom, to buy you back from the prince of darkness. You see, in your rebellion Satan was the legal title holder to your soul, you don’t have to sell it to him, he already owns it. Even though you may think you’re a good person, you were still in rebellion against God, and in turn, in allegiance with the deceiver!
But take courage the Father has not given up on you! In all of eternity past, through hundreds of billions of years as one, God had never before been separated from His Son! For in all of eternity God had never found something so valuable so precious that He could even consider, much less justify being separated from His beloved Son, until now!
For all of eternity past they had walked as one, and now, not only would they experience separation but the Father would have to offer His Son up to Satan as a sacrifice, and a ransom to Win YOU Back.
The Holy Lamb of God, Jesus, would have to leave heaven and enter this world as an ordinary human, a helpless baby, God in a diaper… I know that is hard to imagine, but this had to be done to satisfy the legal requirement established at the beginning of this world! (The punishment for sin is Death! Human sin = Human death) The truth is, sense all of us have sinned, all of us were sentenced to Death!
God the Son, the Glorious Prince of the Universe would now leave Heaven and enter this world as a normal human just like you and me. He would now experience hunger and pain, loneliness and confusion, He would experience the bitter cold sleeping outside in freezing temperatures, many nights soaking wet from rain and snow, He would be subject to overwhelming exestuation, pouring Himself out to the hoards of needy desperate people day after day! He would spend hours and hours out under the blazing sun sweating and stinking and preaching in sweltering heat, healing and feeding and teaching and encouraging thousands of people every day, battling with demon after demon that held His people in bondage to drugs and alcohol and all kinds of perversions! And yes He would sweat and stink and have to go to the bathroom just like the rest of the human race. The God of the universe came to earth shedding His glory and majesty to become a man like you so He would qualify to stand in your place at the final judgment.
God the Creator came for YOU!
(Right about now you may be thinking, He wouldn’t come for me, I have been to rotten, I’ve done too many horrible things… Don’t let Satan trick you with that lie!, he has lead millions into hell with that little lie, he hates God and can only get back at Him by killing His children)
Hear me, That’s A Lie, Your Sin Is Not Greater Than God’s Love For You, And Your Sin Is Certainly Not Greater Than God’ Sacrifice For YOU!
Jesus the Lord of glory would taste betrayal and fear, He would be mocked and spit upon, they would rip His beard out of His face, they would put a bag over His head and take turns beating Him, they would tie Him to a post and then tear His back apart with a brutal Roman whip called a cat-o-nine tails used for torture!
It is written that He was beaten so severally that the people couldn’t recognize that it was a man.
And then they would take our Hope, “Your Hope” the final sacrifice, the Father’s unimaginable offering to Satan, and they would parade Him through the streets Bloody and exposed, the God of all Creation brutalized and naked covered in blood, sweat, spit and humiliation. As all the demons of hell rejoiced and squealed with joy as the crowds joined them in their uncontrolled blood lust. He was all the time Steadfast about why He would do this, always thinking about the prize! Why… LOVE, so we could know without any doubt that He Loves Us, and would do whatever it took to redeem us!
He Loves Us! YES… Oh How He Loves US!
Then they would lay Him down on that wicked rugged cross, Him already so broken and battered, His back already torn apart, nerve endings and muscles tissue exposed, they would take the cruel spikes and drive them through His wonderful hands, the same hands that had just hours before washed the feet of His friends, and before that these hands had broke the bread and gave it to them, before that they made mud for the eyes of the blind man and before that touched and cleansed a leper and before that they held the children as He bid them to come, oh those wonderful hands…
Then the single spike for His beautiful feet, the same feet that had walked the golden streets of Heaven in eternity past, the same feet that walked upon the water that stormy night, the same feet that the Harlot had washed with her tears and dried with her hair just a few days before, the same feet that Mary had anointed with that wonderful perfume, (I wonder could the soldiers still smell the fragrance?) Oh His beautiful feet, “beautiful are the feet of the one who brings good news” and he did bring us good news. His feet, the same feet that had walked from village to village day after day calling us to Himself, calling us home, and the same feet that had just walked up Calvary’s hill, to the place of the Skull, now in just a few hours these same feet would stand in the pit of Hell!
Then the final miracle, the miracle of all miracles, (if Satan had known this, he would have never killed our King), the Father would collect every sin from every man woman and child throughout all of the history of the earth, every one of our sins every lie, every betrayal, every rape, every child molestation, every murder, every act of adultery and homosexuality every stinking lustful desire and wicked murderous thought, and He, the Father, would now have to pour this massive putrid concentration of demonic perversity onto His own innocent, gentle, sinless Son. This single act a thousand times worse than the torturous work of the soldiers! Jesus the only Holy One, the only human in all history to never commit a single sin, would become Sin it’s self for us!
And then the Father would unleash His wrath on His own Child, the wrath that was stored up for your sins and mine, the wrath stored up for the Billions of people throughout the history of the whole world would be poured out like a tidal wave, now focused on that one Human body, the Lamb of God, the Man who is God would now take the punishment for all of mankind’s wickedness, all of us worthy of eternal damnation!
It was only after that, that He would cried out… It Is Finished! And finally, He and all the wicked act’s of man were dragged down into hell where He would deposit the sins of the entire world for all eternity, never to be judged again!
Then, and only then, the price of our ransom was paid and we could now be set free, the Debt paid in full!
So do we ever dare ask,… does God really love me? YES GOD LOVES YOU!
He is not your enemy, He is your biggest fan cheering you on and calling you home. He goes around heaven elbowing all the Angles, saying look at my little lamb, ain’t he great! You never need to fear or dread this Father, “but ye received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father” that is to say Daddy Daddy, He, the Father, is our Father and has proven His unmatched Love for us! Our God loves us!, absolutely and perfectly! He has compassion for us and knows that we are just little babies searching for the way to go. That’s why His own Son, Jesus, had to sneak into our world, win us back from Satan and then show us the way home.
The enemy had already deceived millions of people and misled them into hundreds of false religions, all with a different set of laws and rules to confuse us, rules we can never keep anyhow. And that’s the whole point, Jesus knew we could never keep the rules, not even one, just one failure and we would be doomed, (remember there was only one rule in the garden yet…) that’s why He came and did it for us!
Don’t let yourself become a trophy of Satan, falling for his lies of self righteousness and petty works to help earn your salvation! How could we ever add to what He did for us! It’s a disgusting insult to even try! His Blood that was poured out for us was Holy and pristine, pure and perfect, yet you think you can add something to this perfect sacrifice you think that you could pour some of your putrid disease ridden blood into the offering, into the blood of the King of the universe and improve on what God had to do to His precious Lamb? And what, make it holier? What kind of petty works can you add to complete perfection?! We could only defile the sacrifice. Jesus came to set the captives free, to give sight to the blind, to heal the sick, cast out the demons, to proclaim the true way to the Father and raise the dead to LIFE! Are You Alive?
No flaming hoops to jump through, No law to keep, No 2yr mission trips, No praying in public 5 times a day, No snake charming, No secret rituals, No holy absurd underwear, No pilgrimages, No divesting one’s self of self desires, (good luck with that one)!And Yes you can play music in church and you can wear pants and you dont have to go to church on Saturday or Sunday for all that matter
YES! You must be Born Again to enter heaven, but this is not some kind of trick to keep you out of heaven, this is what happens when you finally come to the point of true surrender, this is the first miracle of your walk with God! And you will know for sure when this happens to you, it’s not something you do it’s something that happens to you when you come to that point of total release.
We live Godley because we love Him, not to appease Him! After all He has done for me, I want to show Him I Love Him, and want to make Him proud of me! You see He is not so far away from you as a lifetime of prideful works, He is right NOW standing at the door waiting for you to invite Him in!
We only need to humble ourselves and say, yes Jesus I need a savior, I need You! I surrender my life to you, Forgive me for all my sins, and Thank You!...
It’s that simple.
Still Not Sure… Final Thoughts;
You see, where you spend eternity is your choice, God created you to be like Him, and to spend forever with Him in paradise, but He gave you Freewill to choose to love Him or reject Him. This was the terrifying cost of the opportunity for true love! And this was the only way to achieve true love. If there was no option for you to reject God plan for you then there would be no true freedom to choose to love God. You see your freewill comes at a great price; it’s a great gift but also a great danger and curse! Why is it a curse? And why is it so dangerous? Because millions and millions, if not billions have already and will still choose the darkness rather than the light, and if God intervened in their choice to commit wicked and evil act’s against other humans, than there would never really be a free choice!
Freewill is the only way to achieve true love, but the cost was that the Father would have to allow you and the millions of His other children who choose to love Him, to be brutalized, betrayed, cheated, tortured, raped, mutilated and murdered by the ones who have exercised their freewill to reject Him. Instead they listen to the voice of Satan. And it only takes a short look around the world to see his handy work drawing men into all forms of horrendous wickedness.
Whole nations think it’s ok to murder Christians and Jew’s or any other religion they don’t like, they think it’s ok to blowup innocent children on school busses, they think it’s ok to mutilate young girls and they teach that women are property, they think it’s ok to sell their young daughters into prostitution, precious little baby girls of two and three years old sold to perverted monsters to be raped and brutalized for the rest of their short lives! In other countries they murder infant girls because they want a male child to pass on the family name. And others ignore the needs of the starving children all around them saying it’s their karma, and just walk past foolishly thinking they are superior because of some supposed holy life they had lived in another incarnation that they have imagined.
And we could go on and on with this, but Do you now see now… The Price of Freewill!
How much more do you need, what more can I say…
The stage is set, the battle lines are clearly marked, the universal tribunal has witnessed the wicked results of a life surrendered to the darkness and the lust’s of our flesh. And now we must make a choice, because not too choose is not an option. God will not force anyone to enter into heaven and He will not send anyone to hell! (oh my gosh!!??... What did he say?) “God will not send anyone to hell”, they will go there of their own freewill by rejecting Gods open invitation to come to Him! “come to me all you who are burdened and heavy laden and I will give you rest, for My yoke is easy and My burden is light” “behold I stand at the door and knock, if anyone, “ANYONE” will open the door I will come in” “do not let your heart be troubled, believe in God, and believe also in Me, for in My Fathers house are many mansions, if it were not so I would have told you, I go to prepare a place for you” .
You see we were all, already destine for separation from God because we have all lived our lives in rebellion refusing Gods Ultimate Gift. Unless we take hold of the life raft that the Father has sent to rescue us, we are already dammed.
How heart wrenching it must be for Him to watch the thousands pass by every day cursing Him and rejecting His desperate efforts to convince them to enter into His Arc, but their deception is so deep, their heart so harden and black that they only curse and rant all the louder, and in the end, most of them still press on into the darkness looking for the god’s they have created in their minds and they will stay there in the darkness separated from God’s eternal kingdom of their own volition.
The only way anyone will enter hell is by refusing to enter the beautiful Open Gates of Heaven, the gate is right there, easy to find, just look for a bloody cross and a loving savior with His arms open wide bidding all to come to me, and I will in no way cast you out. Only Jesus has dealt with your sin’s, all other paths leave you to try to earn your own salvation by appeasing some wrathful deity. But that path, the path to hell goes right pass the cross and you can only get there by rejecting the free gift that God prepared for you, by allowing His own Son to be sacrificed for you.
I hate to think of it but with arrogant pride they pass by repeating the mantra, I don’t accept your God’s narrow minded path! My god doesn’t send people to hell, all paths lead to my god, oh please realize you are making your own god / Idol and bowing down before it. This is something people imagined in their mind to hold on to their selfish pride and sexual lust instead of admitting they need a savior! And yes they are correct, all other paths do lead to their god, and Satan is laughing at how easy it is to deceive the human race. They think the empty short lived pleasures of this world that Satan offers can somehow compare to the eternal glorious wonders that God has created for them in His kingdom!
Satan often masquerades as an angel of light and as a sensual god of goodness! But don’t be deceived He is a liar and only delivers pain destruction and death, candy coated poison!
So will you surrender to your loving creator and believe what you know deep in your heart to be true, that you are in desperate need of a savior! You see, you are in desperate need of a substitution, or a scapegoat,… for your sins are many!
Will you believe Him, and enter the Kingdom that He created you for, a kingdom of light and wonder and joy a kingdom of Love and beauty and adventure, or will you reject His calls and choose to enter an eternity separated from Him in a kingdom outside of His realm, separated from light and beauty, separated from companionship and love, an eternity spent in your own rotting flesh, the putrid undying prison of your own choosing! Utter darkness devoid of any hope for all eternity?
You must realize that if God is, as He say’s; Love, Light, Truth, Joy and goodness, then separation from God is a place void of those very things. Why would anyone choose an eternity in a place without light without love… no hope no warmth no purpose, only empty unending thirst, hunger and darkness! Why? Pride, Lust, self righteousness, bitterness? You see you will still experience all of your hungers from this world, they will never subside nor will they ever be satisfied again, imagine being desperately thirsty and never tasting a drop of cool water again!
Tell me this; what is so wonderful in your life right now that you would risk eternity to hold onto? You know what you would need to give up to surrender your life to Jesus?... It’s just as the song says, Come Just As You Are!
Don’t believe the liar, God loves you and has paid your ransom so you can come back to Him, you are free!
So the choice is simple, it’s black and white, light or darkness, our God loves us completely and bankrupted heaven to ransom you from the hands of Satan. We all, every one of us including me & you, had been storing up wrath all of our lives… do you agree or have you never told a lie or stolen anything, have you never cursed or been hateful without reason, or are you still trying to compare yourself to other wicked people thinking you’re not as big a sinner as they are, the problem is that they are Not the standard, Jesus is!
Every sin you ever committed has already been paid for 2000 yr’s ago on the very cross that you stand before today! What you are reading now is a desperate plea from a loving Father trying to rescue YOU, His precious child! The only requirement is that you go to the Savior at the gate marked Paid In Full, lay down your own self-righteousness at His nail pierced feet, and receive His free gift of forgiveness Now, before you step through the vial of death.
Again He calls… Come to me all you who labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest,.. I go to prepare a place for you where there is No more pain, No more sickness No more sorrow No more betrayal No more goodbyes, No More DEATH.
My Children, my Father, my Mother, my Family my Friends, wont you lay your heart down and come with me on this Eternal Adventure, do you not hunger for true purpose in this life, the King of the universe, King Jesus is calling you and all of His Children, to wake up out of your stupor, shake off the deception of the liar and run to the open arms of your savior.
This I promise you, if you seek Him with all your heart, you will find Him, He is always near to those who have a humble spirit!
For eye has not seen nor has the mind comprehended the things that I have prepared for you!
Love The Lamb
P.S. The first thing you should do after you surrender to Jesus is to go and read the Gospel (good news) of Mark and then John. DON”T go to any church for at least a few months! Just read your Bible every day and let God speak to you through it, read the 4 gospels and the book of Act’s and Romans and the rest of the New Testament, read Galatians 5 or 10 times, don’t get sucked into legalism and rituals let the Holy Spirit fill you and teach you. Look at the first century church, true Christianity is full of power and revelation, read about the Gifts of the Holy Spirit and expect to see them manifest in your life!
May God Abundantly Bless You, and make His Glory Shine Upon You!

Seven Words
I bent my knee to pray today, but there were seven words I couldn’t say!
I easily thanked God for my Children, my family and my friends, and for my wonderful Savior who’s mercy knows no end.
My health and my home and all He has given, my very life, now transformed into a life finally worth living.
As I thought of all this my soul became sober, so free, so blessed, no more burden to shoulder.
Then the Lord showed me all the rubbish I still dragged along, this flesh not yet surrendered to the grave in which it belonged!
So I mustered my spirit, and again started to pray, but these seven little words still proved daunting to say.
Then in a moment of surrender confidently declaring, Lord in You the victory is won!
NOT MY WILL, BUT THINE BE DONE!

Containing the Curse
This can’t be what the Lord planed for our lives to be like?... Satan constantly pulling the rug out from under me, It use to feel like I was trying to constrain a tiger in a cardboard box!
Sometimes I would get so weary of the battle, the constant struggle of fighting off the enemy. I desired to walk in close communion with the Lord but every time I would draw near to Him, it seemed the enemy of our souls was always redoubling his assault and would try to beat me down again. He is constantly pulling and angling to keep us off balance, he digs and claws at our faith, one day it’s our health and the next it’s a family crises or financial dilemma, he is relentless, always trying to choke out our faith at the roots, rendering us ineffective!
The warring we endure in our body and mind is not unlike a garden, it must be constantly maintained, ciaos, death and disorder threatening to overtake the order and discipline we constantly fight for. We trim and prune and rip out the weeds in the garden as well as the weeds in our own life, (lust, pride, jealousy…) ie (culling the curses) as all of creation cries out for deliverance, trying to fight off the death, disease and pestilence that is all around us, the curse we all travail under, the Fall of Adam.
Then I realized I was trying to fight the battle in my own strength, when the scripture was very clear,
"The whole Earth is groaning and trivaling, waiting for the Manifested Son's of God to take authority" Thats you and me! (the new greg version)
"I am in Christ and raised up above all principalities and powers and authority!"
"And behold, I give YOU authority over serpents and scorpians and over ALL the power of the enemy and nothing shall by any means harm you!"
"If you believe in Me, the works that I do, you shall do also and even greater than these shall you do!"
"Then I saw a lamb standing in the center of the throne, with four living creatures and the 24 elders, The lamb looked like he had been slaughtered... He took the scroll from the right hand of the one who sits on the throne and when the lamb had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the 24 elders bowed down in front of him. Each held a harp and a gold bowl full of incense, the prayers of God's holy people. Then they sang a new song,
“You deserve to take the scroll and open the seals, because you were Perfect and you were slaughtered. You bought people with your blood to be God's own. They are from every tribe, language, people, and nation, Praise the Lam who is Worthy to take the scroll! You made them Kings and Priests for our God. They will rule as kings on the earth.”
I believe this means us and I believe this means NOW! “sit at My right hand, until I make your enemies your foot stool”! Who else is there to make His enemies His foot stool?, We are to exert Kingly Authority here and Now over the enemy and all the Earth just as Adam was given power and authority in the garden, Jesus reclaimed power and Dominion for us to prevail until He comes!)
The power we have is through the spoken Word of God! We can speak our lives into power and victory, we can speak health, we can speak blessings and we can speak authority!
11 Then I heard the voices of many angels, the four living creatures, and the elders surrounding the throne. They numbered ten thousand times ten thousand and thousands times thousands. 12 In a loud voice they were singing, “The lamb who was slain deserves to receive power, and wealth, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and praise.” 13 I heard every creature in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth, and on the sea. Every creature in those places was singing, “To the one who sits on the throne and to the lamb be praise, honor, glory, and power forever and ever.” 14 Then the four living creatures said, “Amen!”
And the elders bowed and worshiped. Rev 5:6-14
Then I saw a Lamb! … THEN I SAW THE LAMB! Then I saw Victory!

Thoughts In The Darker Realms of The Valley
As I walk in the silent darkness, defending again my steadfast confidence of a personal, involved loving God, as the turmoil all around me rages on, and again the lament from hell is whispered in my ear.
Is there a God, does he care for me at all?
Can he hear me when I cry, does he see me when I fall?
I stumble and struggle and grope in the dark, Battered, and Beaten I finally loose heart!
How do we reconcile the two blatant contradicting realities? The plethora of incredibly wonderful promises from God, and the deafening silence we so often experience when we need Him the most?
And then the voice continues, the subtle silent words from the deceiver.
Silently Apathetic, this God who says He Loves You, yet he abandons his beloved children in enemy territory with a host of Evil Supernatural creatures and their faithful human servants, utterly alone to be Raped, Tormented and Defiled while your prayers are return to you un-opened! And the Silence Screams out, You Fool! You Stupid childish Idiot, your hope is in Fairy Tales! Your Hope Is In Fairy Tales! Scream and shout, say another prayer or cut yourself for all I care, it’s all the same, hopeless, you may as well pray to the wind.
Love Satan
