Demonic Possession vs House Possession

The common denominator in demonic possession of a person can be found in the end result of the victim: death! The sole purpose of a demon when they possess a human being is to destroy that which God loves, first and foremost. The second biggest reason is to cause torment, fear and confusion. Not only to the victim, but to the victims' loved ones. Imagine watching someone you love going in and out of reality, for weeks, months or years on end. Another reason for demonic possession of a human is to sabotage Gods plan for the victims life. Can a Christian become possessed by a demon? Yes!

It is not a matter of faith or the lack of it which allows a demon to enter a human, but rather openings in our defenses. We are sinners, born into sin. Because of that fact, we sin every day. For us as mortal beings to suggest that a Christian cannot be possessed by an evil spirit is akin to elevating ourselves, upon receiving our salvation, to the level of Jesus Christ. If we are born into sin, we can never attain Christs' level. So, therefore, anyone can be possessed by a demon!

The stronger you are in your walk with Jesus the less likely you are to be possessed. But at the same time, if your walk is strong with Jesus, you will be watched intently for openings to possession. Demons will use things like pornography, drugs, alcohol, pride and greed (to name a few). They use whatever they either already know about you from your past or what they are learning about you right now. They send a fleeting immoral thought about the person you saw today at the store. Innocent enough, but the seed has been planted if you do not recognize the sinful nature of that thought and repent of it.

Once the seed is planted it is like a cancer that grows unchecked. A person can end up completely taken over before they realize what has happened. If they don't get help they can end up doing the devils work. These can include things like molestation, rape, incest, murder, mass murder, serial killing, spree shootings, fratricide, ethnic cleansing. Lawlessness accomplishes two things for a demon in possession of a human -- in the body he has taken over he can spread demoralizing fear and the eventual capture or death of the victim.

With a house, things are a little different. Although the end result can be the eventual possession of a human living in the house, the operations that a demon takes part in while possessing a home are the same as possessing a human (i.e. torment, fear and confusion). When they enter a house they can be there a very long time and go completely undetected. Other times its like a circus set up camp in your living room! Each demon is different in how it operates and some will adapt to find the fears or weaknesses of the people living in the house they have entered.

Once again it is a game of cat and mouse. The demons aren't in a house to rattle chains and produce ghostly apparitions. They are there to find a way into your life, to influence you in small ways at first, to find a crack in your armor. Then they will try to rip the armor off of you and leave you exposed. Demons have no right to a Christians home except that which we as sinners give to them. Whether we know it or not, we invite them into our lives at some level every day.

But now armed with that knowledge, will you do nothing and be slowly taken over?
Or will you stand up to that which cannot harm you, knowing that God is your armor?
Turn to Jesus every day and he will protect you from them. If you do not know Jesus yet,
please come to know him right now! If you live another twenty years on this earth, I believe that sometime with in those next twenty years we will witness every knee bowed! Praise His name.

Jihad for Jesus

Jihad for Jesus! It sounds wrong on alot of different levels. Here is the thing. Jesus Christ was not a militant in the natural. Jesus is a militant in the spirit realm. You as a Christian are a soldier for Jesus in the natural first and the spiritual second. Jesus when faced with death would not recount his profession of being the Son of God. Why? Because he knew the future of mankind was death without his influence on the world. If you stop and think about what the world would be like if there weren't millions of Christians practicing the commandment "You will not kill"
This is not to say that Christians have not had a major part in their own demise. I am a deeply faithful Christian man, yet I still have to give my anger to God. Such things as Abortion, child molestation, child murder, persecution of Christians, rape and many others, make me angry enough at the perpetrators of these acts to forget ( although temporary ) all about " thou shall not kill.". My anger is righteous, my anger is justified. Thank God almighty I am a follower of the teachings of Jesus Christ!
Because if I were not, and I had the same moral value stamped on my spirit. I would most definitely be dead or in prison! I would have the same method of operation as the fundamentalist Islamic radical does. It is said "one mans terrorist is another mans hero". This can be applied to every act of terrorism ever perpetrated against mankind. Sometimes an act of terrorism in these times, becomes an accepted and condoned part of warfare in later years.

Example; During the American revolution the English thought the Americans to be savage and ungentlemanly like, because the Americans saw warfare in a different way than the English. The American commanders used tactics learned from the Native Americans. While the English still tried to fight as gentlemen. The end result we all know, and if the word terrorist would have been in use in the late 1700s, This country would have been known for its terrorist tactics, instead of being the home of the brave. This country, which I fought for in the Army ( 1988-1992 ) owes its very existence to the terrorism inflicted on its enemies. Whether foreign or domestic we have used terrorism in some of the most brutally un-Christian ways.


This brings me back to the fundamental subject of this writing. Jesus!! Jesus would not then tolerate nor does he now tolerate the taking of the life of another. Not even to save himself from certain pain on death. As a Christian I am supposed to take up my cross and follow Jesus. Jesus Christ never did anything that he could have been labeled a terrorist for, nor will I. I will pray for my enemies as I was directed to do. And I will love everyone as I was directed to do. And when my time comes to deny Jesus to save my life! On that day I will die! And I will be happy about it, because in that, is my Jihad for Jesus

Jihad for Jesus II - repost because you cant hear it enough!




Am I a slave to the wishes of others? Is defending the innocent by peaceful protest wrong? In the case of embryonic stem cell research, what would Jesus do? I am prepared to do whatever God directs me to do in protest of this policy. And I am currently seeking his guidance in the peaceful protest of this policy.

I can tell you this: my money (which is actually God's, since He gives it) will not be used by my UNgodly government to fund the systematic murder of babies! The only way that will happen is if God tells me to pay my taxes anyway, because their blood is not on my hands. I am well-versed in the Biblical command to pay taxes, but I am not being led to do so in this case. I cannot fathom murdering an infant or paying someone else to do so. To me there is NO difference between abortion and when someone who is demon-possessed murders their own children.
I was raised pro-choice and matured into the Truth. I am gnashing my teeth over this one. Who do we think we are? I am ashamed of my government and those that support its policies on abortion. This country was founded on principles that are Christian. It has fallen, been torn apart from within by our own unwillingness to follow Jesus' simple instruction to love one another as ourselves.

Ephesians 6:10-18
"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints."

I will not cast my lot amongst the evil in this world. I would rather face Jesus, having done what he asked of me, than to have lived a comfortable life on this earth ignoring the voice of God telling me to step out of my comfort zone.

I may lose everything earthly because of this protest. But I will follow Jesus wherever he wants me to go.

I will not pay income taxes until this crime against God is repealed. My path has been revealed and my Lord Jesus Christ is my protection. Gods will be done!

God bless you all.

Piggy Piggy!

Are you a stumbling block to those around you? It is a valid question. And a point that God has put on my heart in my own life.

Those closest to us look to us for guidance and example. How often is the example you give one that reflects Jesus Christ's love? For me the answer to this question is: not near enough! The excuses for this are many, but not one is valid. Imagine yourself giving even one of these excuses to the Lord at judgment! Laughable if it weren't so serious a subject.

2 Peter 2:22 (New International Version)
Of them the proverbs are true: "A dog returns to its vomit,"and, "A sow that is washed goes back to her wallowing in the mud."

"

We are the pigs in this text. The real test is are you convicted enough to do something about it before you are standing before God giving account for your life?

Matthew 18:6
"But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea."

You don't have to have children to have an influence on them. Children watch and learn. What are you teaching them as they watch?

The Word of God is not to be taken lightly or applied only when you see fit. The Word is the absolute in history and in the future. "Christians" sometimes tend to bend to the will of the world, living in such a way as to be unrecognizable to a brother or sister in Christ. If this is you, search your heart for what God there is in you. Grab a hold of the God in you and let him increase in you. Living in the world and for the world will get you killed. And its a long hateful, jealous, depressing, empty existence without the God of Israel working in your life.


Life is short. But without Jesus in your life, it will be a lot shorter.
Because without Jesus in your life, YOU WERE NEVER ALIVE!!

God Bless you all.

I am an Extremist. Whom do YOU serve? Re-Post



I'm an extremist.

At least according to the standards outlined by the Department of Homeland Security, I will proudly wear that title in the name of Jesus Christ. I have said it before and I will say it again, this country has fallen and I believe the hand of God is now off this country. Politically, we are now looking like 1930s Germany and Obama is our Hitler! And we, as a country and as Christians, refuse to do anything about it... just like the German people of the 1940s.

Are you so suppressed by and scared of our own Government that you wont stand up for righteousness? I tell you, the home of the brave was not intended to be a place of fear. If you fear man then you fear the world and the Father of Lies. FEAR NO MAN and speak out about injustice let your voice be heard as a lion! If you sit and do nothing, then I ask you: who are you serving?

DHS -"Disgruntled Military Veterans"-"Rightwing Extremists"

On the heels of the now infamous Missouri Information Analysis Center (MIAC) report, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has just released an "assessment" report entitled "Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment." With virtually no references, documentation, or annotations, the report, which was released to all branches of American law enforcement, demonizes a host of citizens as having the capacity to become violent "rightwing extremists."

The DHS report warns law enforcement to be on guard against anyone who opposes illegal immigration, same-sex marriage, "free trade agreements," gun control, the "New World Order," "One World Government," the outsourcing of American jobs, the "perceived" threat to U.S. sovereignty by foreign powers, abortion, "declarations of martial law," "the creation of citizen detention camps," "suspension of the U.S. Constitution," or the abridgement of State authority. Also branded are people who believe in "end times" prophecies, and who "stockpile" food, ammunition, or firearms.


I dare say that at least 75% (or more) of the American people have beliefs that fall into one or more categories of the above list. If you are one of them, DHS suspects you of being a "rightwing extremist." But there is more.


The DHS report specifically warns law enforcement to be on guard against "disgruntled military veterans," especially veterans returning from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. You read it right.


Well, if anyone has a legitimate reason to be disgruntled, it is America's veterans. After taking an oath to defend and support America and the U.S. Constitution, they were ordered to fight a preemptive war of aggression in Iraq; they were ordered to fight without a Declaration of War; they were ordered to put their lives on the line, not for the safety and security of the American people, but for international bankers, the United Nations, and the "global economy." Then they returned home to a Department of Veteran's Affairs that treats them as second-class citizens: VA hospitals are often dirty and out-of-date; medical treatments are postponed; medications often take months to arrive; and much of the promised care is never delivered at all. If anyone has a right to be disgruntled, it is a military veteran.


That said, where is the evidence in the DHS report to substantiate the necessity for American law enforcement to be on guard against potential violence committed by military veterans? It doesn't exist. It is a blanket charge without any substantiation whatsoever. The same is true for the rest of the report. Without documentation, substantiation, or annotation, the report broadly brushes a host of American citizens as being potential "extremists" simply because of their political opinions. This is the same kind of political profiling that we saw in the Missouri report.


Veterans groups nationwide are rightfully "up in arms" over the DHS report. Feeling the wrath of public opinion, DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano yesterday "apologized" for "offending" veterans.


Fox News reported, "American Legion National Commander David Rehbein, who blasted the report earlier this week as incomplete and politically-biased, said he was pleased with Napolitano's apology." But not all veterans groups share Rehbein's spirit of forgiveness.


Pete Hegseth, chairman of Vets for Freedom, snarled, "It wasn't an apology in my view. It was one of those non-apology apologies. She was sorry that veterans were offended. She should either apologize for the content of the report as it stands or they should rewrite the report and reissue it." Hegseth has it right!

Napolitano did not apologize for the report; she only said she was sorry that vets were "offended" by the report. There is a vast difference. This is the typical cow manure that we are accustomed to from non-elected bureaucrats, especially federal bureaucrats.


And please notice that Napolitano offered no "apology" to pro-lifers, proponents of the Second Amendment, constitutionalists, Christians, or anyone else. She couldn't care less if any of these folks were offended. She was only sorry that veterans were offended.

House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) also rightly blasted the DHS report, saying its portrayal of veterans was "offensive and unacceptable."

House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Lamar Smith (R-Texas) said, "The rightwing report uses broad generalizations about veterans, pro-life groups, federalists and supporters of gun rights. That's like saying if you love puppies, you might be susceptible to recruitment by the Animal Liberation Front. It is ridiculous and deeply offensive to millions of Americans."

Ladies and gentlemen, the American people must put a stop to this burgeoning political profiling that is currently being forced upon law enforcement. I urge every reader of this column to immediately contact your U.S. House member and two U.S. Senators, demanding that they put a stop to this right now!

In the meantime, I believe we can also assume that the source of all of these reports is either Morris Dees and his Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) or the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), or both. If this is true (and we desperately need some attorneys who are willing to file lawsuits in which evidentiary material may be gleaned during discovery to substantiate these assumptions), the SPLC and ADL--and those government bureaucrats who assist them--need to be exposed and held accountable. The days of political "witch-hunting" must come to an end. Furthermore, the days of radical leftwing organizations, such as SPLC and ADL, being allowed to use federal and state police agencies to demonize and terrorize private citizens because of their political beliefs must also come to an end.


Obviously, DHS is still stinging from the embarrassment and setback of the Missouri report, in which three of last year's Presidential candidates (Ron Paul, Bob Barr, and myself) were personally named. In essence, people who voted for and/or supported any one of us were directly labeled as being potential dangerous "militia members." This blatant and outlandish accusation resulted in a maelstrom of protest, which concluded with the report being completely withdrawn. And this is exactly what people should demand in the case of the DHS report: it should be immediately withdrawn!

The current DHS report does not include personal names, except the name of Timothy McVeigh, who is used as an example of what any "disgruntled military veteran" could become. It does, however, regurgitate the familiar themes of the Missouri report: the same groups; the same beliefs; the same generalizations; the same innuendoes; the same broad brushing; the same warnings; the same mischaracterizations; the same political profiling.


As with the Missouri officials, Janet Napolitano has made a critical misjudgment. By including veterans in her broad sweep of "rightwing extremists," she has shown her true colors: and they are not Red, White and Blue. Veterans throughout America should insist that not only must the report be rescinded, but Ms. Napolitano must also resign.
