DEADRAISER

Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.

These are the words Jesus, our Yahshua, spoke to His disciples as recorded in Matthew Chapter 10, Verse 8. This directive is as true today as it was then!

If you consider yourself to be a disciple, a follower of Christ, YOU HAVE BEEN ENDUED WITH THE POWER TO RAISE THE DEAD!(John 14:19; Luke 24:49; Acts 2; 1 Cor. 12:7-11 and more...)

A couple of years ago my husband, along with myself and a team of other believers, were inspired to visit a local hospital once a week for about a two-month period and act on this authority we knew we had through Christ in us.

We simply went to the different waiting rooms and befriended relatives of the sick or dying and asked if they would allow us to pray for their loved one. We did not experience raising someone from the dead, BUT WE DID have the joy of seeing miracle after miracle. One woman had been told she was dying and that there was no hope for her recovery. What joy when we witnessed her healing after our team laid hands on her and prayed for her recovery!

So you can imagine how thrilled I was to learn that a group of enterprising young adults put together a movie they've titled, DEADRAISER. Although I have only seen a clip of this documentary film, I believe it will act as a dynamite catalyst resulting in a wave of healing and miracles.

But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. 2 Corinthians 4:7

Are You For or Against Women in Combat?

Are you for or against women in combat? Spiritual combat that is…

While meditating on my Lord as I trudged along on the mindless treadmill, I began to think on Deborah of the Old Testament. In my mind’s eye I saw her sitting under the palm tree in counsel with Barak.

As I pondered this, I heard in my spirit, “Women arising on the battleground is a sign that women are arising on the battleground of the spirit realm”.

As most of you are probably aware, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta recently announced the lifting of the longstanding ban on women serving in combat. This is not to say that I believe the Spirit of the Lord is necessarily condoning this change in America’s military policy, but I believe that it is one of the many signs that women are ARISING IN RECOGNITION of who they are in the Spirit.

Women have always served in combat but not on equal footing with men. “The recent policy change allowing women to fight in combat is a change not in job description but rather in recognition. [NEWS LINK]” Just as women have always served in physical combat, so have they always served in spiritual combat. This earthly policy change is a manifestation of what is happening within the spirits of God’s people.

This is not to say that women should be considered higher than or better than men, but in the Body of Christ they are finally going to be RECOGNIZED for who they are in Christ as they were always intended to be—ALONGSIDE MEN! It is not that one gender is better than the other. They were created with different strengths and weaknesses so they would need to work together!

What better place is there an example of this than in The Book of Judges in the account of Deborah and Barak:

And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedeshnaphtali, and said unto him, Hath not the LORD God of Israel commanded, [saying], Go and draw toward mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun? - Judges 4:6 KJV

Deborah acknowledged the anointing of leadership on Barak. What is interesting, though, is that he insisted that she be AT HIS SIDE:

And Barak said unto her, If thou wilt go with me, then I will go: but if thou wilt not go with me, [then] I will not go. - Judges 4:8 KJV

There are commentators who write that Barak was weak and nonheroic because he would not go into battle without this woman. I disagree. Hebrews 11:32 records that Barak is an example of a man of faith. I believe Barak was moved by faith by making this demand because he acknowledged the anointing on Deborah as a judge appointed by God (Judges 2:16; 4:4) and a military leader of Israel [Judges].

From the very beginning of creation, Elohiym created man and woman to have co-dominion over the earth.

So God created man in his [own] image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. - Genesis 1:27-28 KJV

WHY would our God want women to be recognized on equal par spiritually with men? Besides the obvious answer that our loving Heavenly Father sees His children as having equal worth I believe the answer is in Judges 4:9 where Deborah reminds Barak that he will not receive honor even though he goes into battle BUT “the Lord shall sell Sisera into the hand of a woman.” Just as He told Gideon to choose only a small army to defeat the larger enemy army so that man would not get the glory for the victory, God chose Israel at this time to receive victory at the hands of a woman so that the Lord God would receive the glory!

We are living in a time of great urgency. It matters NOT whether you are for or against women serving in spiritual combat—they are already there! It is going to take ALL of us who are born of God’s spirit to arise and be who we are called to be in these last days.

Do you agree?

Jesus Walked in the Temple and it was Winter

Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. - John 8:12 KJV

While thinking on the Lord recently I was led to read of when he healed the man born blind from birth. As I read the account in the Book of John I saw something that I had not seen before or had forgotten.

What I realized was that the Messiah performed this miracle just prior to going into the temple during the feast of dedication.

And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.
And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter. - John 10:22-23 KJV


Those of you who read my blog or are familiar with the scriptural holidays know that the feast of the dedication is also called Hanukkah or The Festival of Light (read also: Hanukkah and Jesus).

Going back one chapter to John 9 is the account I am referring to:  

And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.

And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. John 9:1-5 KJV

I believe it is significant that the Lord speaks of day versus night--light versus darkness--for a couple of reasons.

First, the Messiah ministers healing to the man--born blind. A man who knew only darkness is given the gift of light. Not only does the man receive physical light, but he receives spiritual light. When questioned--or rather 'drilled' by the Pharisees:

The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and [yet] he hath opened mine eyes.
Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.  If this man were not of God, he could do nothing. - John 9:30,31,33 KJV


It had been written in the Old Testament that the Messiah would fulfill many prophesies including healing the blind. It is very significant that Jesus not only healed a blind person but healed one who had been born blind--

Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind. John 9:32

So prior to walking into the temple during the feast of light, THE Light of the World fulfills prophesy by performing a miracle never done before.

Because of our Messiah fulfilling all things, those who believe on Him have His Spirit residing within and are able to do the works He did and greater (John 14:12).

We dwell in a world that seems ever darkening, but we are not of this world and therefore do not dwell in the darkness! We must look through eyes of enlightenment remembering it is Christ in us--the Light of the World.

Abundant Love and Blessings to You and Yours this Season of Light!
 

UFO: End-Time Delusion



Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, O ye house of Israel, have ye offered to me slain beasts and sacrifices [by the space of] forty years in the wilderness?
Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon. - Acts 7:42-43 KJV

This time of year always reminds me of when several years ago my husband and I accepted an invitation to a gathering at the home of one of our neighbors in spite of my dismay about its Halloween overtones. Their children were friends with ours, so we thought it would be a good opportunity to get to know the parents better.
Standing around the fire, my host said to me as he added additional logs to the already blazing inferno, "I want to get this bonfire as big as I can. Last year I saw UFOs hover nearby and I think the bonfire attracts them. I hope we get to see them."

To be honest, I can't remember what I said in reply for I was a bit stunned by his openness.

I had recently read a book by two born again Christians, David Lewis and Robert Shreckhise, entitled UFO: End-Time Delusion, and agreed with what they wrote. An excerpt from pages 13-14 reads:

I believe UFOs are real (provided you allow my definition of reality). I believe they are from an occult or paranormal source...My research has led me to a further conclusion, and that is that they are evil. Humanity must be warned of the malevolent intentions of the 'aliens'. That is the purpose of this book. While some contacts have been friendly and some hostile, they are all from the same source and they mean to destroy all human life on this planet...Deception is currently the 'alien's' most effective tool. We intend to unmask the delusion.

"Aliens?" some of you might ask. There is voluminous evidence that people have seen or been in contact with aliens or extraterrestrials but is that who they actually are? Here is another excerpt from their book: Without exception, every person claiming an [alien] contact...had one thing in common. Each had a prior connection to metaphysical activity or cults. Some had been in devil worship, witchcraft, psychic phenomena, New Age, channeling...Those involved in direct contact with UFO aliens already had a connection to the dark side of the supernatural world. [p. 15-16]

Thus, people who have participated in Satanic activities have opened themselves up to contact with  so-called aliens who are in reality evil spirits.

"...In 1982, Michael London of the L.A. Times gathered together a group of 8 people experienced in UFO and extraterrestrial encounters for a special screening of Steven Spielberg's movie E.T." David Bay shared on his radio show. "London noted the following reactions of the group to the movie:

`This is a true movie, not a romance. It's part of a CONDITIONING PROCESS TO PREPARE US FOR THE ARRIVAL OF ALIEN BEINGS.'

`The movie is a vehicle...It invites the audience to be less afraid of the so-called para-normal. And what better place to start than with the children?...Everything is being done through the children...'

"Everything is being done through our children, and has been for over 20 years. Thus, the first generation to be so conditioned are now having children, who are also being conditioned. What is the purpose? Remember that the Movie and TV industries are openly hostile to Christianity and are very obviously New Age. Also remember that the #1 objective of the New Age is to successfully stage the appearance of Anti-Christ." Excerpt from David Bay's The Cutting Edge Radio Show transcript (http://www.cuttingedge.org/ce1030.html):

What I wish I had said that long ago October eve as I stood by the bonfire is, "I doubt they will come tonight, because I know who they really are."

And, of course, my host would ask me who the 'aliens' are in my opinion and I would have replied,
"They are fallen angels--evil spirits--manifesting as extraterrestrials. I would rebuke them in the name of Jesus Christ and they would be forced to leave. That is why I don't think you'll see them tonight."

Although I did not say what I wanted to, in my mind that is what I was thinking and indeed we had no space visitors. May the Lord forgive me for not speaking boldly to this man.

Today, there are many sources for studying UFOs, aliens, and the such. Recently I was on-line reading testimonies of people who during an 'alien' abduction, cried out the name of Jesus and the terror immediately ended. One source of these testimonies can be found by going here: alienresistance.org/ce4testimonies

Please send a copy of this blog article to anyone that comes to your mind. It is my prayer that this deception be exposed to all who will believe so that none would be given up to worship the host of heaven (see Acts 7:42-43).

Have you heard about the new movie called "2016"? http://2016themovie.com/

If you can possibly go see it--GO! It will give you the information you need to make an informed decision for this crucial upcoming Presidential election!

This movie will take you... on a gripping visual journey into the heart of the world’s most powerful office to reveal the struggle of whether one man's past will redefine America over the next four years. The film examines the question, "If Obama wins a second term, where will we be in 2016?" Across the globe and in America, people in 2008 hungered for a leader who would unite and lift us from economic turmoil and war. True to America’s ideals, they invested their hope in a new kind of president, Barack Obama. What they didn't know is that Obama is a man with a past, and in powerful ways that past defines him--who he is, how he thinks, and where he intends to take America and the world... Emotionally engaging, 2016 Obama’s America will make you confounded and cheer as you discover the mysteries and answers to your greatest aspirations and worst fears.[Excerpt from http://2016themovie.com/]
