I AM A WARRIOR

When the house lights dimmed and the concert was about to begin, the mother returned to her seat and discovered that her child was missing. Suddenly, the curtains parted and spotlights focused on the impressive Steinway on stage. In horror, the mother saw her little boy sitting at the keyboard, innocently picking out "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star." At that moment, the great piano master made his entrance, quickly moved to the piano, and whispered in the boy's ear, "Don't quit." "Keep playing." Then, leaning over, Paderewski reached down with his left hand and began filling in a bass part. Soon his right arm reached around to the other side of the child, and he added a running obbligato. Together, the old master and the young novice transformed what could have been a frightening situation into a wonderfully creative experience. The audience was so mesmerized that they couldn't recall what else the great master played. Only the classic, " Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star." Perhaps that's the way it is with God. What we can accomplish on our own is hardly noteworthy. We try our best, but the results aren't always graceful flowing music. However, with the hand of the Master, our life's work can truly be beautiful. The next time you set out to accomplish great feats, listen carefully. You may hear the voice of the Master, whispering in your ear, "Don't quit." "Keep playing." May you feel His arms around you and know that His hands are there, helping you turn your feeble attempts into true masterpieces. Remember, God doesn't seem to call the equipped, rather, He equips the 'called.' Life is more accurately measured by the lives you touch than by the things you acquire.

To: YOU From: GOD Subject: YOURSELF Reference: LIFE This is God. Today I will be handling All of your problems for you.. I do Not need your help. So, have a nice day. I love you. And, remember... If life happens to deliver a situation to you that you cannot handle, do Not attempt to resolve it yourself! Kindly put it in the SFGTD (something for God to do) box. I will get to it in MY TIME.. All situations will be resolved, but in My time, not yours. Once the matter is placed into the box, do not hold onto it by worrying about it. Instead, focus on all the wonderful things that are present in your life now. If you find yourself stuck in traffic, don't despair. There are people in this world for whom driving is an unheard of privilege. Should you have a bad day at work; think of the man who has been out of work for years.. Should you despair over a relationship gone bad; think of the person who has never known what it's like to love and be loved in return. Should you grieve the passing of another weekend; think of the woman in dire straits, working twelve hours a day, seven days a week to feed her children. Should your car break down, leaving you miles away from assistance; think of the paraplegic who would love the opportunity to take that walk. Should you notice a new gray hair in the mirror; think of the cancer patient in chemo who wishes she had hair to examine. Should you find yourself at a loss and pondering what is life all about, asking what is my purpose? Be thankful. There are those who didn't live long enough to get the opportunity. Should you find yourself the victim of other people's bitterness, ignorance, smallness or insecurities; remember, things could be worse. You could be one of them! Should you decide to send this to a friend; Thank you. You may have touched their life in ways you will never know! Now, you have a nice day...God

We often do wrong in ignorance and without bad intentions. Other times we do nice things to please God. Does the Halloween Feast pleases God, or is it one of those things we do by ignorance? If we want to know the meaning of the word Halloween, we can divide the word in "hallow" and "ween". According to the American Heritage Dictionary these words mean: Hallow - To make or set apart as holy. Ween - To think; suppose. By combining these to meanings we get: Halloween - A day that is supposedly holy. The question that rises is: What has Halloween of holy or sacred? Are the stories of ghost and witches holy? According to the Grolier's Academic American Encyclopedia: "Halloween was originally a Celtic festival for the dead, celebrated on the last day of the Celtic year, Oct. 31. Celtics believed in many gods and in human sacrifices. "Celtic worship centered upon the interplay of the 'otherworld' or divine element with the land and the waters. Wells, springs, rivers, and hills were believed to be inhabited by guardian spirits, usually female, the names of which survive in many place-names. Among the Celtic traditions there was on October 31 the Celtic festival of Samhain (which means end of summer or festival of the dead). The souls of the dead were supposed to revisit their homes on this day, and the autumnal festival acquired sinister significance, with ghosts, witches, hobgoblins, black cats, fairies, and demons of all kinds said to be roaming about. It was the time to placate the supernatural powers controlling the processes of nature. In addition, Halloween was thought to be the most favorable time for divinations concerning marriage, luck, health, and death. It was the only day on which the help of the devil was invoked for such purposes." With time, children's games replace the spiritual meaning of Halloween. This custom enters the United States with the settlement of the Scotch-Irish. Nowadays children go door by door asking for candies. Do you think that the pagan origin of Halloween pleases God? The Word of God teaches us: **(Leviticus 19:31) "Do not turn to mediums or seek out spiritists (psychics), for you will be defiled by them. I am the LORD your God." **(Deuteronomy 18:10-12) "Let no one be found among you who sacrifices his son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or a spiritist (psychic), or consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the LORD, and because of these detestable practices the LORD your God will drive out those nations before you." **(1 John 2:4-5) "The man who says, "I know him," but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But if anyone obeys his word, God's love is truly made complete in him." ** (Luke 6:46) "Why do you call me, `Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say?" **(Revelation 21:8) "But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars--their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death." Clearly Halloween does not please God nor is a holy day. Everything done on that day was opposite to what the Bible teaches us. How is it possible that you disguise your child for Halloween when that is not of God's please? Do you think that a child game or a bunch of candies is more important than the spiritual health of your family? It is serious not to give God the first place in your heart. While you live in ignorance you were not offending God, but once you know something is wrong you should stop doing it. Once you are in Christ, you become son of God, and you should not sin as you did before. Non-Christian people think that Halloween is a harmless kid’s game but as a Christian, what makes you think that Halloween is harmless. Please, do not negate God to follow what the rest of the people is doing. We are called to follow God always. It is NOT easy, but the reward that Jesus Christ promises is far more precious than a bag of treats. We have been forgiven in the Blood of Christ; and because of that we can’t follow hollow traditions anymore. Please, do not contaminate your soul with something contrary to God. This is not my opinion. Read it yourself: ** (James 4:17) "Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins." ** (Ephesians 5:6-11) Don’t be fooled by those who try to excuse these sins, for the terrible anger of God comes upon all those who disobey him. Don't participate in the things these people do. For though your hearts were once full of darkness, now you are full of light from the Lord, and your behavior should show it! For this light within you produces only what is good and right and true. Try to find out what is pleasing to the Lord. Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness; instead, rebuke and expose them. ** By the way if this is this is not enough proof to hinder your hunger for some good old time Trick or Treating I dare you to Google a Satanic Bible and look up the major holidays of satanism. When both Bibles agree with each other you have to at least give it the benefit of the doubt, and when in doubt choose Jesus. Spoiler alert: He won! So what team are you in? I’d pick the undefeated….

The outcome of our spiritual war is irreversible. Satan has been defeated: And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross. Colossians 2:15 Satan will be destroyed: And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever. Revelation 20:10 Therefore, we do not fight this war for victory; we fight from victory!!!!!: You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. 1 John 4:4 HALELUYA!!!!!!!

My translation of the Bible is better than your translation. Hymns are better than choruses. The Contemporary service is better than the Traditional one. My version of baptism is better than yours. My church is larger than yours. My denomination is better than yours. My theology is better than theirs. I attend more church, tithe more, volunteer more, read more scripture, pray longer, and worship more than you. I gossip less, smoke less, drink less, swear less, party less, and sin less than you. I’m married and you’re divorced. We practiced abstinence while they had premarital sex. I have more Christian friends than them. My understanding of scripture is better than yours. I’m fluent in Greek and Hebrew and you aren’t. I attended Seminary and they didn’t. I believe in young-earth creationism and they believe in evolution. I’m a Democrat and they’re a Republican. I’m a vegan and they love to hunt, fish, and eat meat. We homeschool and they put their kids in public schools. We eat organic and they always eat fast food. We spank our children and they don’t. We are blessed with money and they aren’t. I’m an official elder on the church board and he’s just a custodian. I’ve believed in Jesus longer than she has. She had an abortion and I didn’t. It’s absurdly natural for humans to want to compare, but there are very few things more dangerous during the Christian journey than spiritually comparing yourself to other humans. We constantly evaluate ourselves against the standards of others without wholeheartedly focusing on pleasing God for no other reason that our love for Him. Psalm 37:4-5 -- 4 Delight yourself in the LORD; and He will give you the desires of your heart. 5 Commit your way to the LORD, Trust also in Him, and He will do it.

Looking at my children, listening to spiritual music, hugging my loved ones and last but not least praising GOD!!

My Vision by Marjie Doscher How to free you mind from clutter and gain emotional strength YOUR MIND IS YOUR GREATEST FORTRESS, KEEP IT CLEAN AND CLEAR AT ALL TIMES. ONLY THEN YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SEE AND APPRECIATE THE WONDERFUL BLESSINGS THAT GOD HAS GIVEN YOU.

WAKE UP!! WE ARE AT WAR!!

My heart is on fire. The Holy Spirit is putting so many messages in my head. I can't stop writing. I am constantly thinking about these things. I need to get them off my chest. I need to find the right venue to spread His messages, I want to preach! They are piling up wasting away and people need to hear them. We need to be bold, be corageous, be daring. I am tired of "Religion light" Chuches where Christians are treated carefyly so they stay. They are not being told what God wants them to hear because it may be "too much" for them. They are being cuddled and pampered so they are content. We need to get out of our confort zones and into the crashing waves only then we will be able to fully joint hands with Jesus. This is the ENDTIME; we are at WAR!

Monkeys are amazing judges of character. They are nature’s living lie detectors. They can figure you out just by looking at you. They will defend you if you are innocent, follow you if you are trustworthy, protect you if you are helpless and love you only if you deserve it. On the other hand they will ignore you if you are selfish, mock you if you are dishonest, fling their poop at you if they think you full of it to let you know that they know and if you are bitten by one, Oh boy, you should take a good look at yourself because more likely you are fake, phony and so messes up inside that even a monkey can see right through you. You can’t fool a monkey; so next time you are at the zoo and have the chance to be near one, take some time and get close, you may learn something good about yourself or maybe realize that all that hypocritical image that you so proudly carry around is just a cover-up for all the dark secrets you keep inside. Mark 4:22 - For there is nothing hidden, except to be disclosed; nor is anything secret, except to come to light. Luke 8:17 - For nothing is hidden that will not be disclosed, nor is anything secret that will not become known and come to light. So tell the world: What would a monkey do to you?

Hurting people hurt people and toxic people poison people. It doesn’t matter if they are friends or family, if they love you or if you love them if you allow them, they will hurt you. Sharing the same blood does not make you immune to their venom; actually, it makes you more vulnerable to it. People don’t behave according to their age; they act depending on their level of maturity. If they stop maturing at 12 then you are dealing with a 12 year old. When someone shows you who they really are and the evil they have inside believe them the first time. The only cure for them is the grace of God and that is only granted to the ones that repent sincerely from the bottom of their hearts admitting they were wrong with the intention to change their ways and never look back in Jesus name with the help of the Holy Spirit otherwise the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior. If you can’t change the people around you…then change the people around you. #HurtingPeople #justsayJesus #ToxicPeople
