• Satan knows who you are.
• Satan knows how effective you are.
• Satan will try to destroy you.

Satan is an Angel. He has power. He freely gives his power to humans, without telling them the price tag. We call them: Occultists, Witches, Wiccans, Druids, Pagans… And so many other names for them. The price tag? He takes what is dearest to them, and leaves them in the dirt, helpless, and powerless. They know the folly of living without power in their life, so they go right back to him, and beg more power. Generally they no longer care about the consequences. All they respect is power.

Ever wonder what it would be like to have power in your life? Do you pray? By pray, I mean don’t do what the heathen do. Prayer for power – to Satan – is simply telling the demons what you want done, he takes the price later. Prayer, to God, about anything, is a conversation. But do we even listen? Many of us tell God what we want, and there is nothing wrong with that, but it shouldn’t end there. Treat God as you would any other human you converse with. Listen for Him to speak to you. Listen, in the still silence and glory of His presence, and wait.

Lets discuss powerless Christians in the presence of an All Powerful God. When one gets saved, they are saved. Permanently. There is no if and or , or but about it. However, theres a difference between salvation and being a Christian. I can tell you from experience that there are a number of saved folks that don’t follow God. Don’t tell me that they can’t be saved if they don’t, because only God can judge the heart. There are also many Biblically sound Christians. God fearing, God serving, people who follow Christ. And yet they are powerless. God has used, does use, and will use them for His glory, but it doesn’t please Him to send unequipped soldiers into war. WE are fighting in this war for the Souls of Human beings. God promises power, and while it sits there, we sit still. WE know who our enemy is.  We even pay lip service to the fact that he is dangerous. Most of us acknowledge the fact that Satan is trying to  destroy us,  but how many of us are guilty of actually rebuking him? Most of us lift a quick prayer in times of temptation, but that isn’t enough! Jesus lived the life of Power. Power of the Holy Spirit which descended upon him after the baptism by John. This same power allows us, if we receive it, to rebuke them. Let us look at some example of a Rebuking.

Acts 16:16-18 And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying: The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation. And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.

They cast the demon out. It can only be done in Jesus name, by the Power of the Holy Ghost.

Lets look at prayer for a moment, and what the Bible says about it.

1 Thessalonians 5:17 Pray without ceasing.

Matthew21:22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

John 14:13-14  And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

John 15:5-8  I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.

I see a command here, to keep praying. I see promises to give you what you ask for. If you have ever asked him for something, and he hasnt given it to you, that would make these promises lies, but for one thing. Pray without ceasing. You have the right to keep on praying for what you want to pray for, until He says it isn’t in his will. He will change your desire if it isn’t his will. He will give you what you truly want, sometimes even if it is outside of his will. Because if you truly want it, you will keep asking for it, over and over again. Theres a story about a woman who sought Jesus ought. Kept after Him to work a miracle. Lets read it.

Matthew 15:21-28 Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon. And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us. But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it to dogs. And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table. Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour. 

Even a gentile, a Canaanite recognized His power. Recognized Him as God. And persisted, EVEN AFTER JESUS DENIED HER REQUEST.   Ever consider that God is testing your faith, when denying your request, rather than changing your heart? Maybe He wants to see if you will persist. This woman from Canaan was blessed because of her persistence.  Sometimes He wants you to wait, but don’t stop praying for your request. There was a Welsh evangelist. His name was Evan Roberts. There was one matter he prayed about for 13 years before God granted his request. But grant it, God did.  Often times, we jump into battle, spiritually unprepared. We are powerless Christians, in the presence of the Almighty. That isn’t how it is supposed to be. I do not deny the power of prayer. Persistent Prevailing Prayer is part of the Christian life.

The Promise of the Holy Ghost is a touchy subject among many denominations today. Many Christians accept that to be a follower of Christ is to be like Him. Many Christians see the promise of power in Luke, and Acts, and other places, and says it is expired.. or they say it isn’t for today, because we have the Bible and that is enough. We accept the Indwelling of the Holy Ghost, but deny Him the right to fill His temple with God’s power.  Let us look at the promises on this subject real quick..

Luke 24:47-49  And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. And ye are witnesses of these things. And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.

Acts 1:8  But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. 

Acts 2:14-21  But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words: For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day. But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come: And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. 

Acts 2:38-39  Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the LORD our God shall call. 

Joel 2:28-31 is the corresponding passage to the one from acts 2:14-21.

The afore mentioned passages are but a few of the places in the Bible where God promises to Pour out His Spirit upon us. In fact, I would put forth that it would be a sin to not be filled with His power. In Ephesians 5:18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; This is a very clear commandment to Christians. We already have the Holy Spirit, the indwelling happens at salvation. But then why would he tell us to be filled with the Spirit?  The Filling, or baptism, or whatever you wish to call it, is an enduement of power from on High. The only way to win souls is with God’s power. He commands us to be filled, and then we ignore it. That is sinful. Many of us to this day dont recognize it as sin, because we are taught that the commands were there because the full Bible wasnt.

I challenge you all to think on this, and, Lord willing, start pleading with God to fill you!

Well now, I was at a Christian Bookstore a couple days ago. Imagine my surprise to see this.  On the outside of the book, it has a title. But take a look at the title.

BUZZZ! Red flags all over the place for this one. Cause no. There is no sure fire prayer to bring healing and activate blessings. That isn’t how God works.

I opened it up. I was curious. If you look at the picture of the open page, it shows some of the stuff inside. Now then. When I was attempting spellcraft, that is how I set up the pages. (Yes, I have burned them.) I would write up what I was trying to do, and the various ways it could be accomplished. This up here does the same thing.  So for people like Mr. Eckhardt to write such a monstrosity of a book.. There aren’t words for how disgusted I am by this. I put it back on the shelf and walked away.

God wouldn’t condone mage craft  when it was practical. He still doesn’t. In fact, He forbids it. If you want Blessings from God, and His power in your life, get in your Bible. Pray. Seek His will for you, and then GET there. His will won’t leave you powerless against Satan.

Dating is worthless. I guess it was too damned much to ask for someone to care for me as much as I could care for them. If you are reading this, then yes. NOW I am mad at you. I wasn’t before, but I sure as hell am now. The day you choose to add me online again, or contact me in any way, I will make sure you see this. You made the decision. Now you’re gonna stick to it.  I tried. I truly did. Now I’m done trying. I deem you to be not worth my time any further.

Begone for good.

Sincerely ticked,

Paul

Can I assume it is safe to say that this song is amazing? Cause it is.

Here’s an excerpt:

A San Francisco cable car holds 60 people. This blog was viewed about 2,400 times in 2011. If it were a cable car, it would take about 40 trips to carry that many people.

I am not doing well at this time. at all. An facebook wasn’t helping. So I have removed it for now. At this point, I don’t feel the need or urge to talk to anyone. period. So I am going to have my phone off the majority of the time as well. I can be reached at my email. And if you feel lucky, whenever I turn my phone on I will reply to texts.

Still without remembering “sadness”
I begin to grasp “pain” 
When these feelings reach you
They will change into “words”

As you awaken from a dream 
In an unknown world 
Spread your wings and take flight

You said that if you would flap your wings
You would never come back down 
You aimed for that white, white cloud 
You know if you can just make it through
You’ll find what you seek

Keep trying to break free for that blue, blue sky 
That blue, blue sky
That blue, blue sky

Using a sound like harsh words
You broke the old window that was rusty 
You got tired of seeing the cage
You threw it away and never looked back

The pulse that beats quickly 
Catches my breath 
Kick this window and take flight

You said that if you ran
That you can do it 
That far far voice that calls out to you 
To take your very radiant hand

Just to search for that blue, blue sky 
I understand if you fall
But continue to go after the light

You said that if you could flap your wings
You would never come back down 
You search for that white, white cloud

You know if you can just make it through
You’ll find what you seek 

Keep tryïng to break free for that blue, blue sky 
That blue, blue sky
That blue, blue sky

I wish I could fly away, an leave behind all the pain in my life. I’m tired, an weary of this human body.  On a side note, can anyone tell me what ‘Kurama’ means? Is Japanese.

Anyways.. I must go on. I can’t simply live like this, stagnant, stale, not moving forward or going anywhere. Is backwards or forwards. It’s gonna take everything I have. As I am already drained, physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally, I am looking forward to seeing how God pushes me forward.

That is all I have worth saying here. I have friends all over who love it, but I just can’t stand it. Perhaps you will all consider this now that I have revealed it. I mean, there is nothing worth while in watching guys tackle eachother in order to gain possession of a ball to run to the other end of the field.  It is pointless.
