I believe this is a hard and difficult time for Christians as every western government has removed Jesus the Christ from the leadership of their nations and satan has willingly filled the void. Not having Christ acknowledged means that the Christian is the one that the system focuses upon as Nero did and by that the entire police state mobilizes against them in subtle ways.
I state that as a fact in how difficult and hard it is for Christians to accomplish things in prayer and many are despondent. God is still all powerful, you are still God's, but when it is a reality that you are in a trench, with the scream of spiritual warfare around you drowning out your abilities to project your Christian Will, then the reality is what was once your big voice with Christ in charge is a voice in a cell like St. Paul in Rome.
I have not written a great deal of Christian messages, as I am in a struggle to survive myself as all of you are. I have a great deal of fury at people with money who should be donating and sit on their asses writing with a diamond tipped pen into steel how much they are all like the crowd who left the person rot in the ditch until the Good Samaritan rescued that soul. I have been through what all of you have been through, but God grew me through the barriers which you have. Take heart in Christ that you will too, but know that on every rise is more resistance to overcome in Christ. My struggle now is growing through multi front diversions of attacks on me to distract me, and the need for a home, as the dungeon we are in is quite repressive, so this blog suffers.
I have received from the Holy Ghost this past year various "I will not be inquired" which is understandable. I still inquire, but the message is that we are in a period where God is not about to assist in an America or Europe hell bent on their own genocide. This does not mean He is not there for you and your Protector, but it does mean the war has changed, as instead of your being in Christian America safe, you are now in an America which has Christ supplanted by all sorts of other demonic forces, with numbers of adherents empowering them.
That is what I am moved by in this, in my condition in Practical Christianity, as all you get from the pulpits and pews is the same old pray, praise and give thanks, and suffer through it. I do not know of anyone of you who gets up every day and says, "I am so thankful I have another shitty day of misery, praise the Lord". I am a person who is as General Grant said of General Lee, "I don't care what Bobby Lee is doing, I want to know what you are doing to him!".
That is warfare real Spiritual warfare, from sickness, disease, poverty, loneliness, failures, being cheated, being abused, from a prison. Your perimeters have bee shrunk, you are holed up, you are licking your wounds, but you are searching for a way to day by day to get the hell out of that hole and you do not give up as Christ has a Way.
St. Paul's mission was to preach the Gospel to Caesar and be executed. You are not St. Paul and you are not going to be telling the anti Christ what a bad character he is. Your mission is to have Christ lead you out of the valley, and more to the point in that leading, grow in Spiritual power as that is what it means in the Light of God in you. You grow stronger in God in being able to withstand and by Christ start becoming the wash over the sinners and demons.
As you grow the things that bothered you or weighed you down, do not affect you. I realize I often do not write on the baby steps of Christians as I am focused on the salvos sent at me in bombardments. By the Sheild upon me, those former attacks just bounce off with zero effect. That will come with you too, but it is a matter of day by day praying, praising and giving thanks, disciplining yourself, Bible study and WILLING yourself in Christ with the Holy Ghost to get to that next day, and doing it by not self destroying yourself in whatever weakness or temptation you were born into and for the Glory of the Father will overcome in Christ.
I do not want you to think that my relationship with God is easy. I have been immensely hurt in all of this. God is my Father, but I dont' much feel like calling Him as Father, because I get the rough treatment in this which is my weakness not God's. God is though the only Way, so whether I like things or not, that is the only solution, so I just keep on absorbing hits, get up in Him and move forward. I state that because allot of people say they hate God. That is from being mistaken in you hate what is being done to you, but you do not hate God. God has purposes in refining you in this pain and suffering. That pain and suffering though is not meant to be life long, so do not fall into satanic lie. It is just a point that I may not refer to God as Father and as my way of dealing with it address Him as Jehovah, but the time for healing is later when the reward given by Christ appears in Heaven. Now this wounded Spiritual animal is focused to reach that reward and to create a wave against the things which will not backwash on me later to wipe them out.
I was reading on an athiest site where the sad child was writing about Christians not standing on their own feet, and instead casting the spell of The Blood of Jesus, and mocking the 'christian' writer who said they needed to plead the Blood in the month before for the coming month, as the athiest was saying this was all witchcraft.
Well duh, for the athiest who was so good to lower themselves and mock God in saying, "Hey God if You are there prove it to me, as I have offered You the chance to grovel before me and obey me to have this once chance to have me as Your wonderful believer, You better take it as the clock is ticking", the sad child is always going to be disappointed until God knocks them flat on their back in some immensely terrifying situation where they have to start screaming for God on His terms.........because that is the Way things are accomplished as God does not accept smug Cain ever. The point is the Bible is filled with proper things in Christianity, which in the world would be called sympathetic magic, offerings and spells.
The Christian is warned NEVER to worship God as heathens do, as in do not burn your children alive, do not become religious whores with sex, do not use narcotics and do not "burn strange fire" before the Lord as it was recorded. There are though things mentioned in Joseph's Divination Cup, Elisha using salt to accomplish things and then there is that Son of God Whose Blood has a Spiritual power to the believer, as much as His Name, and as much as those interesting things Jesus accomplished like cursing a fig tree that died from the roots up by the next day, by Will of the Spirit changing water into wine, and those other things like raising people from the dead.
I desire you to get this next sentence please, because it is the problem I have with the cart before the horse. Jesus PRAYED TO THE FATHER BEFORE He ever uttered a command in His Name. People do not prepare and activate God before they go off trying to look powerful and stealing God's Glory. You can't build a house without wood, and you can not have miracles performed by using God's Name, if you do not build the Spiritual link before you open your mouth for that miracle.
Get that point ingrained in you so it is your first reaction first, and you will have the foundation to having things go much easier.
Joseph in Divination did not go off half assed, no more than Jesus. Joseph was activating God so satan did not get involved. It is the same way with all things. Salt for Elisha is the same salt for a witch, but Elisha was activating God, so it was not a neutral force to be dealt with later or a satanic force which charges you with your life later and you will pay.
I have warned all of you to not get involved in these things, because you are not ready for them. Desperate times for me move me for desperate measures in areas I would not venture into, but it is about sometimes the school of hard knocks in discovering you are not as bad ass Spiritual warrior that you claim to be, and the reality that sometimes you have to flee the burning city.
Moses did a number of signs for God's Glory against Pharoah who ended up deader than dead at the bottom of the sea. What you have to do is ALWAYS invoke God in everything you begin, after talking it over with God to obtain His blessing, keeping with the Law, and then you are dealing with God, and not nature, and not satan, because you went off half cocked, thinking again how bad ass you are.
My mom mentioned that kids used to write what they wanted on a piece of paper, bury it, and most times those things came to be by the time the paper rotted in the ground. That is human will, set loose into the Spiritual realm or what would be called the forces, as nature is a force, satan is a force and God is the Force. Nature provides things, but a backwash of death or consumption takes place, just like seeds die in the ground and bring forth fruit. satan sells you that power and you pay for it with your eternal death every day. God requires you behave and in return God takes nothing from you and whatever is done costs nothing as it is free.
The key to those written papers was people wrote it down, did not hold onto it and let that will go out and manifest. Christians hold onto prayers and things too much and it retards the completion of the prayer. That is one of my faults in important things I gnaw on in prayer for hours, instead of commanding it done, setting that Will to manifest in Christ to be done, and my living as I already have it.
Burning candles to God is accepted. satanist burn candles as do witches. It is only evil when it is done to activating the wrong destructive force instead of God's Life Giving Force. Are you starting to understand the direction? You like picking up firewood in your neighborhood and God is always offering up a supply. That is you sending your will out expecting firewood and letting it manifest. I like things in the thrift store and things manifest there all the time, but it is not me killing old geezers, but those old geezers moving on, and their greedy children dumping things off which they are blind to, and I am benefited.
There are ways of working in this system with God's Power which is always a benefit to you.
The preachers and pastors never touch on subjects like spell jars that witches use, because some things are disgusting in them and there are things you should not be dabbling in. But when David cuts his enemies off in the Name of the Lord, that is drastic. The Levites inquired of the Lord utilizing a gem breast plate called the Ephod. You mean crystals have a frequency which enhance what you are doing, and it was accepted by God as a communication device to Him, but maybe humans corrupted it by trusting in the crystals and brought in satan?
A farmer prays over seeds to bless them in Jesus Name to get a crop. There is absolutely no difference in your putting a written prayer in a jar, with some symbols of things you want to manifest as health or money, praying over it, placing God's Name upon it, and even burning a candle as an offering to God on it.......and even burying it or placing it under your bed with the thought that every time you pass over it, that prayer is enhanced and empowered for God to provide the completion of what you are seeking.
Burying is probably better as satan will probably have some kid steal the money out a the cat break the jar, but what you are missing, as in the case of dousing, the pendulum is nothing, but a focal point. A note written is seeing is believing and a jar is something you can hold so you know it is real. Christ in you is the real power, but the seeing, touching and writing in Christ gives you something to focus on to get that Will out of your head, and out into the world where it can begin manifesting.
See if I had things easy, I would not have explained these complex issues to you for your understanding.
None of the above is license. There are Christian rules in this, and if you violate them or your pride gets involved, you will discover fast how bad things will turn on you, as satan is always seeking ways to destroy you. You are though now not stuck in that prayer foxhole for a decade where nothing was happening, and in God you may find a new end around to try as sometimes people do not have the Faith to be healed and need a home remedy to apply that God will perform the same healing, but you needed a witness to set your will free.
With all due diligence, solemnity and care in every step, the Christian may after prayer, pondering and meditation consider if some of the above is a way to release their Will in Christ to accomplish their needs.
Sometimes you need a physical action to release that Spiritual will in you, which you will not let go of.
Moses staff was a psychological symbol of protection and guidance of the flock. The staff was something for Moses to hold on to and something for the People to see to believe. The staff though was nothing, as it was all God's Power projected through His servant Moses who had the Spirit of God in him.
The staff provided focal point energy for Moses to fix on by his physical actions, a wave to move the Will to manifesting in the world.
