Hello everybody I hope you had a great weekend and you are enjoying this wonderful Sunday. The weather dipped down pretty cold for us here in lovely Florida. LOL We had a cold weekend. Now it's back to the 70s so that's very good. I'm a big wimp when it comes to cold weather. Just can't tolerate it for too awfully long.
Jesus had warned us that “false prophets” will come and try to lie and deceive even God’s elect (Matthew 24: 23-27.) The best way to guard yourself against falsehood and lies false teachers is to know the truth. To spot a counterfeit, study the real thing. Any believer who “correctly handles the word and who makes a careful study of the Bible can identify false doctrine. For example, a believer who has read the activities of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit will immediately question any doctrine that denies the Trinity. That just isn't right to deny that. Therefore, really study the Word and judge all teachings by what the Scripture tells us, not man.
Lying is the enemy's main weapon against God’s children.....The most common lie is " God's not real" "there is no God,” “God doesn’t care about you,” “the Bible cannot be trusted,” But we have to remember the apostle Paul tells us that Satan “masquerades as an angel of light” so that what he says and does sounds good and seems reasonable. Another example would be "familiar spirits" demons masquerading as your past love one in order to get a foothold into your life. Of course they would know exactly what to say that only your grandmother would know and they could appear to look like your lost and dearly departed. The Bible warns us to "be aware of the familiar spirit". Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but in-wardly are ravenous wolves.”
Are you being told different things that you know do not agree with what you know from the Bible? If you are it may be because that wolf in sheep’s clothing does not know the Bible and he is counting on his audience not knowing the Bible also. This is why I feel it's so very important for the Christian to read their Bible on a daily basis even if it's just for 10 minutes....because when you know the truth, a lie will be very clear to you. They are very easy to spot. We just have got so many, many frauds out there that you just have to be so careful. The Bible says the devil comes to kill and destroy that's all he wants. He truly hates humans and most likely animals that's why he wants our souls so we burn in hell for all eternity with him. That's why I believe he sends demons out to carry on assignments by taking advantage of nonbelievers and attacking the ones who do believe.
Demonic Strongholds:
A demonic stronghold is one of the enemies tricks. He will send powerful demons your way. Strongholds is anything powerful enough to hold you in its dominion to keep you from receiving God’s love, mercy and truth. Once a stronghold is established, you provide an open door for the enemy and become exposed to demonic control and oppression in that area of your life. The existence of a stronghold can be recognized because it will be that area of your life in which you consistently have problems and cannot cope in life. Our thoughts influence our emotions and our physical reactions. A thought may seem harmless, but it can become physically, emotionally or spiritually dangerous. Satan will bring evil thoughts into our minds. We cannot entertain these. This will only give way to the enemy. We need to rebuke the evil thoughts from our minds as soon as they start. This is so important.
Demons:
A demon or demonic entity has never been human. Not ever. It is believed to be a force that can be conjured and controlled. You can conjure them but once one comes through they only obey Satan. They are also believed to have the ability to possess or inhabit the body of humans and the only way to rid the person of them is to conduct deliverance and/or Exorcism. Demons are portrayed differently in different cultures. Some believe demons to be actual physical beings that can take the form of anything, including animals. Others consider the real demons as more of a spiritual force of evil battling for one's soul. They have been feared and written about in almost every culture in one form or another
A Few Examples Of The Type Of Attacks
Emotions. Exaggerated emotional states: fear, anxiety, anger, panic, shame, rejection, grief that is over-extended or out of proportion, hopelessness, helplessness.
The Mind. Tormenting thoughts of suicide, self-mutilation thoughts, confusion, forgetfulness, blocked memory, self hate, feelings of worthlessness and thoughts of being unloved and thoughts that God won't ever forgive you and he doesn't love you.
Some call up demons to use their aid in gaining success. Others call them to make a man or woman fall in love with them or to leave their spouses and become armored with them alone. Yet still some call on these dark forces to wreck havoc in the lives of others for their own evil reasons. Making any kind of a deal with a demon has serious ramifications when it's all said and done. They hate humans. When I say hate I do mean HATE! Why would they want to help us? Think about this. Look at the Slender Man epidemic. Attempted murder had taken place in the name of pleasing the master demon Slender Man. If something doesn't exist, if given enough attention will take on a life of its own. Like a Poltergeist. It will be created from all the hysteria. We need Christ more than ever. Cling to the Father and His Holy name, through only Him are we safe from this wicked world that Satan is taking over through channels most never even of thought of.
Selling Your Soul:
Obsession with demons is really quite common. It's not healthy in any way. Think about it, we don’t need to be devil worshippers, wearing robes and sacrificing animals. People metaphorically sell their souls everyday. People gradually abandon their humanity for some goal they feel is more important. For instance, some are willing to do whatever it takes to be successful, even if that includes harming others. Think of a gangbanger involved in a drive-by shooting, or a big businessman who feels no guilt about downsizing, firing employees and harming families. After awhile it gets easier and easier until neither cares anymore. Hey, it's just business I'm not personally making up the rules. Every day people sell their souls, if they realize it or not. The enemy is very, very sneaky. He hates all humans.
I'd like to leave you with a couple of comforting verses to look up if you'd like:
For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.” Matthew 17:20
“And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues” Mark 16:17
This is one of my favorite scriptures.....“No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is from me,” Isaiah 54:17

Partakers of Evil, But Do Not Know
This blog is designed to help people even professed Christians obtain knowledge to remove the unclean spirits out of your life. Therefore, doing some research on a few false prophets led me to find a trove of hidden data that has now helped me get this message out, that this needs to be delivered. We as people cannot partake in evil things no matter how innocent these seem to be, especially when it comes to our children.
Here is the message for this blog regarding the unclean spirits which people openly invite into their homes, especially towards their children. A child's mind is the game field for the spirits to come to for deceiving and here's why - INNOCENCE is the key. Many parents think it is good idea and aspect for their child to use their imagination so they think it is alright and even encourage their children to watch, read, or play with these things that encourage (also means OPENS UP) aspects of creativity. I'm not here to discourage creativity - just make you as parents AWARE of what is happening.
However, the children are not using their own imaginations they are using the imaginations of other people that are inspired and led by evil spirits. The children are being introduced to an evil spiritual realm. Now they are seeing, thinking, and doing things they would have never thought of, or done, otherwise.
Many parents even CHRISTIAN parents allow, or encourage, their children to talk to imaginary friends not realizing they may actually be encouraging them to converse with an evil spirit – a familiar spirit. Why do you think it is called a 'Familiar Spirit'? The simple answer is because it is familiar with all of your ancestor’s sins and actions throughout time as well as your own sins.
After all it was at first welcomed and encouraged because the parents saw nothing wrong with it - but you have been deceived! Because we, as parents, are not teaching our children what is right and what is wrong their reality is being distorted. Videos, movies, books, and virtual reality games are enhancing a level of imagination in our children that they could not reach on their own; and our children are even starting to act the things out.
Evil unclean spirits are also the inspiration for many movies, videos, computer games, and books that are popular today. The movies, videos, games, and books were made up from someone’s imagination, and what do you think inspired them? Just as with mythology; many of the movies, games, books, and videos considered popular today are being inspired by evil seducing spirits. Created from someone’s imagination, what do you think is inspiring them? Children and adults alike are being entertained by evil spirits and generally do not even know it. And we wonder why we are having so much trouble in the world today.
Christians think because you have Christ Jesus YOU ARE OFF LIMITS and untouchable - BUT YET you openly allow this garbage in your life, home and your child's life and yet you see nothing wrong with this - DO YOU SEE THE CONTRADICTION PEOPLE?? By allowing this garbage you have given these 'unclean' spirits LEGAL AUTHORITY to be present!
Many parents are even putting their children on medication because their children are having problems with concentration and confusion. Yet, we continually allow our children to put things that have been inspired by evil spirits into their mind through their eyes and ears. Many people, including Christians, are deceived into thinking it is alright to watch, play, or read things that are myths. The problem is although the things they are watching may not be real the evil spirits that inspired them are very real. Our children will not be able to discern what is real and what is not if we keep letting them put Satan’s garbage in their head.
No wonder people, young and old alike, are having trouble concentrating. People are consistently allowing fantasy pictures and messages into their mind. Not knowing that these fantasy pictures are actually being influenced by evil spirits. Many of these people who are being influenced are Christians! But yet CHRISTIANS think they are off limits to Satan.....right...by partaking with darkness YOU GIVE THEM RIGHTS TO YOU and your FAMILY!
Remember, after all it was at first welcomed and encouraged! Because we, as parents, are not teaching our children what is right and what is wrong their reality is being distorted. Videos, movies, books, and virtual reality games are enhancing a level of imagination in our children that they could not reach on their own; and our children are even starting to act the things out.
Here's the sad situation that YOU must now come to understand - When the child outgrows this ‘familiar spirit’ and wants it to leave them alone, it will not go, NOPE! Only applying the blood of Jesus Christ through prayer, forgiveness and speaking God’s Word will make it leave via the act of EXORCISM will it then leave. Guess what - THAT SAME SPIRIT is tied to the PARENTS - why because THEY gave the spirit LEGAL rights to the child.
Now consider movies, books, and video games with demonic characters with names such as the vampire and werewolf; both listed under ‘demon’ in the thesaurus. Many people think this is purely fiction because they have no knowledge of what is actually inspiring these writers. In a vampire movie for example, blood and sexual contact is combined – the affect is the same as what transpires in an actual witchcraft ritual.
Vampire cults exist today and many of those members do participate in blood drinking. Many also have their real teeth sharpened or special dentures made for their ritual gatherings. Sexual rituals, along with blood drinking, are very much a part of their cult gatherings. Vampirism is a virtual nesting ground for the succubus spirit, yet many people consider vampire movies and books to be entertaining.
Warning from God - Leviticus 17:10, 14: And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people. For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore, I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off.
You must see that God would not want Christians or any people whom He created watching or playing with things that contain evil content – and falsely calling it entertainment but yet openly let their children play, engage and touch these hidden unclean spirits by the items in their own homes! Be assured it is not entertaining to God!
Be NOT deceived, nor partake with evil - Matt. 24:4.

The Illuminati and Satanism
The Illuminati is believed to be beloved to be a conspiracy theory which holds that there is a "global elite" society that is either in control of the world or is seeking to take control of the world. As with most conspiracy theories, beliefs regarding the Illuminati conspiracy vary widely. As a result, it is virtually impossible to give a synopsis of the Illuminati conspiracy. Popularized in recent books and movies, the Illuminati conspiracy has definitely reached "cult fiction" status. Many believe they are Satanic in many ways but of course no one can prove his. I don't think anyone can prove as of yet the Illuminati exist. I'm going on pure opinion here based on what I've researched. Many satanic symbols are often connected to this elite group. But the one I often come across is the All Seeing Eye. According to research The All-seeing eye originated in Egypt in those satanic mysteries which God physically judged during the time of Moses, when he lead the Israelites out of the land by the mighty hand of God. The All-Seeing Eye was representative of the omniscience of Horus, the Sun.
Does The Bible Warn Us Of this?
We'll there are plenty of warnings in my humble opinion. We all have our own thoughts and interpret the Word of God differently. I will list a few that I feel are warning.
Revelation 11:6-7
They have the power to shut the sky, that no rain may fall during the days of their prophesying, and they have power over the waters to turn them into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague, as often as they desire. And when they have finished their testimony, the beast that rises from the bottomless pit will make war on them and conquer them and kill them,
Ephesians 6:12
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
Deuteronomy 4:2
You shall not add to the word that I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of the Lord your God that I command you.
Mark 13:22
For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform signs and wonders, to lead astray, if possible, the elect.
Jude 1:4
For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.
Revelation 16:14
For they are demonic spirits, performing signs, who go abroad to the kings of the whole world, to assemble them for battle on the great day of God the Almighty.
I feel the Bible shows us the United Nations will be part of the end times.
A one-world or global government is predicted in Daniel and Revelation. It will come after the rise of a confederation of ten nations or regions (Revelation 13:1; Daniel 7:16–24; Daniel 2:41–42). One member of the confederation will displace three of the other members, subdue the others, and rule over all, led by the satanically empowered Antichrist. It is this confederation of ten nations that is most often connected with the United Nations. If this connection is correct, it may be that the UN or a similar group is mentioned, indirectly, in the Bible, but there is no way to be completely sure before the Antichrist makes his appearance.
What is New World Order?
The New World Order is a conspiracy theory which posits a new period of history bringing about a major change in the world with the balance of world power. This New World Order is theorized by some to involve a group or groups of elitist people bent on ruling the world through a single worldwide system of government. The appeal of this New World Order lies in its proposal to free the world of wars and political strife, and its promises to eradicate poverty, disease, and hunger. Its purpose is to meet the needs and hopes of all mankind through worldwide peace. But it's really a big lie and there is a huge price to pay. This scripture stands out to me.
As it is written: "None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God. All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one." (Romans 3:10-12). Isn't it amazing how the United Nations causes most of the war and bloodshed around the globe, while continually talking about peace. They're always willing to have peace, even if it means going to war, and they often do! Isaiah 48:22, "There is no peace, saith the LORD, unto the wicked." This sinful world will never have peace until the King of Kings returns, Jesus Christ, and destroys the New World Order and casts its members into Hell." Feel free to conduct your own research. This is based on what I've read and just sharing my opinion on this subject as asked by many.

Satisfying Life?
By Pastor Stephen Piersall,
God’s Preservation Ministry Soul Care
gpmsc.org https://www.facebook.com/GodsPreservationMinistry
Joining the USAF and going through Basic Training, they do their best to “brain wash” you from your civilian habits to get you to accept the USAF’s way to do things. Getting married and moving into your first home together, takes at least a one-year transition period to experience the whole person 24/7. We learn not to say anything about the pink bathroom, and learn QUICKLY to leave the toilet seat up (Why can’t they do the same when they're finished?) There is so much talk currently about the end of times. Earthquake here, unknown disease there, False Prophets teaching unbiblical agendas tailored to the “Me” and “I want it instantly generation", the New Age movement, Occult, Wiccan, etc. Sure I am as interested as the next person, but something I spend most of my days is doing what God wants me to do. I am sure there are many who wrestle with this, and few take appropriate steps to become a Christian as God planned out for us. However, I don’t want to! I want my cake and eat it too! I’m happy for the way I am now! I do what I want and some old book that was written 2000 years ago does not apply to me on this day in age! Sigh!
It is often necessary for us to take time to assimilate to things, which have happened in our lives, just as we need time to digest a large meal. "Assimilation" (sounds Borg to me) consists of making something to which we have been exposed a part of our innermost selves. The universe functions in cycles and so do we humans. Think about the cycles in nature: seasons, tides, day and night, life cycles, etc. In view of this, it must seem natural that you, too, are the subject of cycles. Don't fight the tide - go with it and learn to benefit from it. The "good life," "satisfying" work, feeling "fulfilled" etc. comes at a price. We have to be willing to accept and change accordingly. Ever feel convicted of a sin, e.g. “unforgiveness to someone who has hurt you” and out of nowhere we feel a need to correct it. This applies to all sins, but with my example, do you really think you are in God’s good graces and yet can’t find it within ourselves to forgive someone? What about the Lord’s Prayer in Luke 11:2-4? “And forgive us our sins for we ourselves forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation.”
How do you know if you are doing God’s will? You have to remember that the Christian life is not always smooth and easy. With all that in mind, if you haven’t so far, spend some alone time with God and ask him what is his plan for your life. Remember it is “his” plan, which was previously formulated before you were born. If you are a Christian going through struggles, there are many options to turn to helping you get on the straight and narrow. We can be of help too. If you have no concern at all except get your own and live life to the fullest, Good Luck with your path. As Christians, we don’t believe in luck, everything is for a purpose as God intended for us. Sure the end of times are making the news, but if you haven’t assured yourself with eternal life, Just get on your knees and look up, I am confident the rest will fall in place.

Don't fight the tide - go with it and learn to benefit from it. The "good life," "satisfying" work, feeling "fulfilled" etc. comes at a price. We have to be willing to accept and change accordingly. Ever feel convicted of a sin, e.g. “unforgiveness to someone who has hurt you” and out of nowhere we feel a need to correct it. This applies to all sins, but with my example, do you really think you are in God’s good graces and yet can’t find it within ourselves to forgive someone? What about the Lord’s Prayer in Luke 11:2-4? “And forgive us our sins for we ourselves forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation.”
How do you know if you are doing God’s will? You have to remember that the Christian life is not always smooth and easy. With all that in mind, if you haven’t so far, spend some alone time with God and ask him what is his plan for your life. Remember it is “his” plan, which was previously formulated before you were born. If you are a Christian going through struggles, there are many options to turn to helping you get on the straight and narrow. We can be of help too. If you have no concern at all except get your own and live life to the fullest, Good Luck with your path. As Christians, we don’t believe in luck, everything is for a purpose as God intended for us. Sure the end of times are making the news, but if you haven’t assured yourself with eternal life, Just get on your knees and look up, I am confident the rest will fall in place.

Healing Failures
By Pastor Stephen Piersall
God's Preservation Ministry http://sfprs.org/
Healing is one of the most controversial subjects in the Bible. Not that God is confused, but we and our many different denominations and religions have various interpretations as well as translations. Let us first read "The Great Commission":
This is the commandment that Jesus left us with upon his ascending into Heaven. It is by far one of the most dynamic and prominent areas of any church deliverance ministry. While casting out demons, it is just as significant, to minister to the impassioned wounds. Rousing wounds are one of the most common reasons that deliverance can fail or demons seem to keep coming back and regaining inhabitation within the person.
Our goal is not to forget a hurtful event or trauma, but to receive healing for that event, where the Holy Spirit removes the arrow from it. When we look to the past upon a healed wound, we can see it in a different way, because it has been healed and is no longer painful to look at.
The Holy Spirit within you is the one that HEALS! The believer who has already accepted the gift of Salvation from Jesus must stand in faith 100%. The Holy Spirit responds to your level of faith and every divine healing that ever took place happened with the Holy Spirit when the believer acted on God’s word. What about when healing fails? What went wrong?
It is important to understand that God has not failed you, and He is not short on healing power. When demands are made on the power of God, the healing virtue of Jesus Christ will flow into a person’s body and make it whole. In John 5, the story is told about a man who had an infirmity for 38 years. This story, perhaps, gives us the best picture of the obstruction that even today’s believers face when it comes to wanting to be healed, and yet, not being able making it happen when we want it, and need it, the most. We read that day after day the invalid man lay by the pool of Bethesda hoping somehow to be the number one person in the water after the angel stirred it, because if he was the first to make it in, he could be healed. But then along came Jesus. He asked the man, “Do you want to become well?” The invalid answered saying, “Sir, I have nobody when the water is moving to put me into the pool…”
The significant detail in their conversation at this point is that the man was so focused on the problem of not being able to get into the water before someone else, that he never even considered placing a demand on Jesus to help him and to get him healed. Like this man, many believers today desire to be healed, yet they have not willed to be healed. What’s the difference?
The difference is that willpower is what makes a demand on the power of God. After all, God has sent His Word, and according to that Word, healing has already been purchased by the blood of Jesus. So, the rest is up to us. We must act on this new blood covenant to get the results we desire. Still, for those times when it seems God’s healing power has somehow been hindered, and it just is not flowing through our lives. The Bible points out some problem areas that may be the reason for this lack of healing or health. Some of those problem areas include:
• Failure to forgive others (Mark 11:25-26)
• Failure to keep the commandment of love (John 13:34)
• Lack of knowledge and lack of vision (Hosea 4:6); Proverbs 29:18)
• Lack of discernment of the Lord’s body when taking communion (I Corinthians 11:23-32)
• Lack of integrity in your heart (Psalms 25:21)
Since we know there is no failure with God, it is obvious that when believers do not receive their healing, the problem must lie elsewhere. Keeping this in mind, we need to realize that healing largely depends on a firm stand on the fact that your prayer has been heard, and that it has been answered. The challenge, then, comes in not wavering from God’s Word.
Beware of False Prophets! In all things we do, we must pray and ask God for discernment. I know of some people who claim to be “Demonologist” and use hypnosis in their method of casting out demons and provide healing. I know of others who are talking the talk, but in real life do not walk the walk. Some that yearn to be a Pastor, but do not have their personal lives in order. We can NOT have permanent success with Healing and deliverance unless we ourselves are right before God. Bottom line, just be careful and do not just jump in without testing the waters. PRAY!
These two websites will shed some more light on the subject of why healing may or may not work:

Mark 16:14-20 NASB
14 Afterward He appeared to the eleven themselves as they were reclining at the table; and He reproached them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they had not believed those who had seen Him after He had risen. 15 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. 16 He who believes and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned. 17 These signs will accompany those who have believed: in My name they will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues; 18 they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” 19 So then, when the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God. 20 And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them, and confirmed the word by the signs that followed.
This is the commandment that Jesus left us with upon his ascending into Heaven. It is by far one of the most dynamic and prominent areas of any church deliverance ministry.

Children Cutting -- Demonic?
By Evangelist Stephen Piersall,
God’s Preservation Ministry, sfprs.org/
With our children now, back in school the topic of kids cutting came up the other day. Our children today live under a different level of stress than we did growing up in the 1950-1960’s. Back in the day, we got up, ate breakfast, put on the clothes Mom picked out for us, hopped on the school bus, attended classes, mingled with friends at our lockers, hopped onto the bus, came home did our homework, went outside to play until the supper (not dinner) time, then outside again until the streetlights came on. Our only big vices were smoking, drinking, and marijuana.
Kids today still have similar vices. However, it is fair to say they have much more to choose from; smoking, drinking, street drugs, prescription drugs, bullying, school shootings, single parents, no Father’s in their lives, financial pressure, clothes have to be in style, video games, social media, all kinds of electronic devices, evil movies and music, role models, and cutting.
Alas, the age of children cutting themselves has dropped steadily from college freshmen to be now fifth graders. This epidemic has no specific demographic. It has spread across all cultures, social classes, and age groups. Many professionals are claiming they are constantly hearing from their patients have been bullied, lost their self-confidence, victims of sexual abuse or molestation. It also releases endorphins producing a quick rush like a “high” making this behavior addictive.
A friend of mine years back had a daughter who cut herself every day. She stated it was like a “rush.” The same as getting high on drugs fueled by loneliness, depression, and isolation led her into cutting. She did not have the stable family life. Her parents were always fighting; the norm was to hear yelling and screaming as soon as she got off the school bus. She at no time felt loved or accepted, and her mother did everything for her. She never learned to be responsible nor have the emotional skill set to cope with her life.
It overwhelmed her and she became secluded. This depression and isolation opened the door for deeper and darker demonic torment. She spoke of hearing voices telling her to cut or die, “Just do it!” Her cutting became a routine way to gain attention to her. This filled the void she had and was hunger for love and attention. She was afraid if she stopped, the attention would go away. When the school reported it to her parents, she felt betrayed and quit school. She was feeling guilty for trusting anyone in the first place. Instantly, she felt it was wrong to ask for help, and this was God’s concern. Except she did not know God and who else could she blame for her rotten life. It was not until a few of us banded together and started taking an interest in her, sort of like a “mission of God.” Helping her realize Jesus would forgive her, and getting to know the unlimited love, he has for us, in time she could stop cutting.
David Rosen, MD, MPH, is professor of pediatrics at the University of Michigan and director of the Section for Teenage and Young Adult Health at the University of Michigan Health Systems in Ann Arbor. He offers parents tips on what to watch for:
Over time, the cutting typically escalates — occurring more often, with more and more cuts each time, Rosen tells WebMD. “It takes less provocation for them to cut. It takes more cutting to get the same relief — much like drug addiction. In addition, for reasons I cannot explain but have heard often enough, the more blood the better. Most of the cutting I see is quite superficial, and looks more like scratches than cuts. It’s the sort who when you put pressure on it, it stops the "bleeding".
A guideline to parenting has to change rapidly to keep pace. The evil one and his demons have ramped up their influence on our youth. If evil can take the focus of God away from the church, and the nuclear family that we knew, he has won the battle. Instead of getting on our knees as a family praying to God, they have a tendency to blame God. Battles may be lost, but the war is already been won with Jesus shedding his blood for us. We need to ban together as children of God and become more active parents, and bring up our children knowing and accepting God’s forgiveness and love.
If you have identified these signs in your children, please seek out a counselor and speak to your Pastor about Deliverance ministry. Do not delay in getting the help your child needs. Counseling is important and necessary but cutting also involves “Legal Rights” given to the demonic spirits. They need to be confronted and be cast out.
Each case is different; however, in the Deliverance ministry, we want to address the spirits of suicide and death quickly. Once those are gone, we can begin the process of dealing with the other aspects of deliverance and healing aimed at the open doors/emotional traumas that led them to cut in the first place. Deliverance ministry is like an “onion,” we must peel it layer by layer. Anyone who claims they can just “cleanse” or “Bless” your home and all is well. Beware of False prophets!

David Rosen, MD, MPH, is professor of pediatrics at the University of Michigan and director of the Section for Teenage and Young Adult Health at the University of Michigan Health Systems in Ann Arbor. He offers parents tips on what to watch for:
- Small, linear cut marks. “The most typical cuts are very linear, straight line, often parallel like railroad ties carved into the forearm, the upper arm, sometimes the legs,” Rosen tells WebMD. “Some people cut words into themselves. If they are having body-image issues, they may cut the word ‘fat.’ If they’re having trouble at school, it may be ‘stupid,’ ‘loser,’ ‘failure,’ or a big ‘L.’ those are the things we see pretty regularly.”
- Unexplained cuts and scratches that appear often in the same area. “I wish I had a nickel for every time someone says, ‘The cat did it,’,” says Rosen.
- Mood changes like depression or anxiety, out-of-control behavior, changes in relationships, communication, and school performance. Kids who are unable to manage day-to-day stress of life are vulnerable to cutting, says Rosen.
Over time, the cutting typically escalates — occurring more often, with more and more cuts each time, Rosen tells WebMD. “It takes less provocation for them to cut.

Jim Bakker & His Merry Band of False Prophets Want World Dominion, Part 2 – Wednesday, August 14, 2013
On last week’s show, we started to get into the
subject of Jim Bakker as we gave a very comprehensive overview of Dominionism
and the dangers of it.
This week we’ll do a very quick overview of what the
signs of a true prophet are. We’ll explore the subject of false prophecies that
Bakker and his friends predict.
Nestled in the Ozark Mountains about 20 miles from Branson,
Missouri is the new home of Jim Bakker. Back in the 1980s, he played a leading
role in spreading the name it and claim it ministry—a/k/a/ the prosperity gospel--which
means if you’re rich God loves you. But if you’re poor it’s your own fault.
From Heritage USA to the peacefully named Morningside,
this is the home of Jim’s new ministry. He doesn’t focus on get rich, get into
heaven anymore. Now Jim has embraced a new gospel consisting of:
- End Times teaching
- Conspiracy theories
- Hyper-Grace
- Prophetic teaching
If his new gospel consisted of the above four
subjects, I could look past it. However, if you take the time to peel back the
layers of deceptions, you uncover something very shocking.
- He’s teaching Dominion or Kingdom Now gospel. This
means that Christians have the right, if not the responsibility, to run every
aspect of government, culture, science, and religion.
- The false prophet industry is on the rise. Just as
many Americans have gone new age and psychic crazy, numerous charismatic churches
promote the prophet business. The church no longer tests you but gives you
every opportunity to cash in—write a book, costar on Jim’s show, etc.
- Doom & Gloom. We’re in the final stages of the End
Times! Nobody ever told me they’d already started! Blood will gush down the
streets, cities will burn, and there will be no food on the shelves, no power,
and no water. But don’t worry! If you fork over the money, Bakker will send you
enough food to last for 20 years! He’ll sell you a generator. And even better
than that, he claims he’s working on a water making device!
For the next two shows, we’ll take a deeper look into
the world of Jim Bakker and the Dominion/Kingdom Now gospel. We’ll discuss what
a prophet is, and is a prophet and a psychic the same thing? We’ll look at the
false prophets that Jim Bakker promotes to the world via his show. You’ll learn
more about:
John Kilpatrick
Cindy and Mike Jacobs
Bishop Ron Webb
Rick Joyner
Jonathan Cahn
Nathan
Morris
And
several others.
As a weekly feature, Kirby will also share some book
reviews and recommendations, as well as his infamous incredible "BAD BAD
Thing Awards."
Showtime begins at 7 PM or 10 PM EST. See this page for more information:

Peer Pressure Affecting Your Walk?
By Stephen Piersall
God's Preservation Ministry http://sfprs.org/
God is so good! Recently, I have had a closed MRI for my back and being 6’3”, 260 pounds and claustrophobic; they shoved every ounce of me in this tiny crawl space about the size of the old torpedo tubes submarines used years ago. I normally would start with my panic attacks and anxiety getting the best of me days before, but it was done in 18 minutes, and I spent the whole time eyes closed and praying to God for everybody I could think of. I had a root canal done with NO PAIN for the first time during my life. Yes, I spent every minute in prayer with that too. I also gave birth to my first (and hopefully never again) Kidney Stone. Ouch! Yes, they are as bad as the stories you might have heard, and the prayers that days were in desperation. LOL. Lastly, completed a pre-surgical physical, and the results show I am the healthiest I have been in years.
Since our ministry is growing and helping many other people with Christian Deliverance counseling, and still attending classes at our local church and Internet courses, it has brought closeness to God that one can only cherish. So intimate, that when I wake up, the first thing that comes to mind is God and my personal prayer list of those who have needs. It is the same at night when taking our two dogs out for the last time before bed; looking up to the sky, talking to God, and thanking him for all he is doing in my life. The late Walter Payton, NFL, Chicago Bears running back was nicknamed “Sweetness." With God beside me, it is pure “Sweetness."
Leaving the hospital, passing many people and the Holy Spirit within me must have turned up the volume on my ears. Hearing couples arguing over petty things, gossiping all around, my ears were just buzzing. This doctor is no good, and this neighbor all the time complains about different highly public viewed clergy on TV. Yikes, jumping back into the MRI machine where it was safe and just praying to God in peace, (except for the LOUD MRI noises) seems like a great idea.
One of the pet peeves of mine is a person talking bad about others behind their backs. Here recently I have had two discussions with some of our staff about what they were doing if it gave them a good reputation with God and their business and family life. They both accepted the discussion in a Christian attitude, and I praise them both for their walk with God. What about the others I mentioned, is peer pressure affecting walking with God? This rather reminds me of back in Junior High School all over again.
The Bible says that the tongue is full of deadly poison. The tongue is like a sword. It can cut and slice apart its victims. Proverbs 21:23 states, "Whoso keepeth his mouth, and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles."
Why must we speak about what version of the Bible that someone reads? Why must we talk about clergy members who have Internet talk shows? Why must we talk badly about how someone does deliverance differently than what you believe? Jesus commands we remove evil, but no particular checklist for us to follow in doing so. There are many methodologies, and if it works, Glory to God! Why are Christians not acting like Christians? Why are some of you reading this not Christian at all?
Christian Bible thumpers as we sometimes are called, will keep trying to win souls for Jesus because that is our number-one job. Jesus proclaimed that in his Great Commission among other things. You can go through all of these biblical steps with a right heart and spirit, and the other person may still choose to respond in a negative or fleshly way. Some people have a contentious spirit and do not want peace. On the other hand, some people will agree with you to your face and make no change whatsoever. At this point, you cannot get bitter and angry. You must leave it with the Lord. Romans 12:18 states, "If it be possible, as much as in you lieth, be at peace with all men."
Did you know that of all the sins that God sees in us, they are, even so, to him except one? The sin of not accepting Jesus as your Savior is above all other sins. When you die and bow before him, and he says, “I do not know you”; your destiny in Hell will reign forever.
Matthew 7:22-23, “Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? And in thy name have cast out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful works? Then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.
Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they? So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire, so then; you will know them by their fruits.
Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.”
That has happened to me also, where someone thought, I was speaking of them, when I was not. However, what this says to me, it is the Holy Spirit convicting that person's heart. Instead of leaning toward the Spirit of the Lord, they get very defensive. What we see as very immature behavior in some really can be brought back around to the enemy causing trouble in the Body of Christ, as you are making clear.
It is too late to accept Jesus as your Savior once you die. There is no purgatory or earth bound spirits or ghosts where you can pray someone to heaven or have a medium cross over someone for you. Believing in any of that is Satan’s trap to lure you. Beware of false prophets, Satan and his demons are the master of disguises! Read the Gospels and follow the teachings of Jesus.
This YouTube video will answer some questions perhaps you have. Enjoy.
