Apostate- A Little Bit Of My Story
2
Thessalonians 2:3 Let no man deceive
you by any means: for that day
shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin
be revealed, the son of perdition;
Daniel
7:25 And he shall speak great words against
the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to
change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and
times and the dividing of time.
Daniel
8:25 And through his policy also he shall
cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart,
and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of
princes; but he shall be broken without hand.
Daniel
11:36 And the king shall do according to his
will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and
shall speak marvelous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till
the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.
John
17:12 While I was with them in the world, I
kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them
is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.
Ephesians
5:6 Let no man deceive you with vain words:
for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of
disobedience.
2 Thessalonians 2:8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed,
whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy
with the brightness of his coming:
1 Timothy
4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times
some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and
doctrines of devils;
1 John 4:3 And
every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not
of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it
should come; and even now already is it in the world.
Revelation
13:5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things
and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
2 Thessalonians 2:2 That ye be not
soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by
letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.

Nakedness
Judges 6:37 “look, I will place a wool fleece on
the threshing floor. If there is dew only on the fleece and all the ground is
dry, then I will know that you will save Israel by my hand, as you said."
I wanted to see what else the Bible had
to say about wool. So, after searching, I found;
“Therefore will I return, and take away
my corn in the time thereof, and my wine in the season thereof, and will
recover my wool and my flax given to cover her nakedness.” Hosea
2:9
And
“Come
now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as
scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they
shall be as wool.” Isaiah 1:18.
Our skin can
be thought of as wool. Our spirits reside in these bodies until we are given
new bodies in Heaven. 1 Corinthians 15:40 Also, when you start to live more in
the Spirit, you start to look at your body differently. Jesus saved you and now
instead of sin burdened bodies we have “wool” covering our nakedness or Spirit.
I’d like to
talk about Judges 6:20 & 21 though. The Angel of God told Gideon to throw
out the broth and put the meat and the unleavened bread on The Rock. Our earthly
bodies are meat and the unleavened bread is righteousness through affliction/direction,
deliverance, and freedom. Gideon gave himself to The Lord as a sacrifice. What
have you sacrificed lately?
The Angel of
the Lord only had to use the very tip of His staff. He didn't need to smash,
hit, or swing it. He only used the very tip and as soon as He touched the meat
and unleavened bread fire came out of The Rock and then consumed the meat. Notice
how the fire came out of The Rock first. Who is The Rock on which you stand?
Jesus. He is your firm foundation. He is also your Rock of Offense and your
Precious Chief Corner Stone.
What’s with
the fire? Well, what happens when you are “on fire for God”? When you have The
Spirit, The Holy Spirit, you literally have a fire blazing in your heart.
Transgressions against the laws of God, fear, human nature, etc. are not
welcome and are consumed by The Almighty. He will direct you, push you, pull
you, lead you, and take you through things to teach you, to bring you closer to
Him, to make it easier for His Spirit to shine through you. When people see
you, they should see Him. However, fire is hot and it burns. When godliness
gets close to ungodliness, it’s painful. I've had my fair share (and I’m
probably not done yet) of complaining, crying, yelling, and struggling with
Him, but He always wins and when I come out on the other end, I am happier and
stronger.
He loves you
SOOOOO much that He isn't going to just let you go when times get tough. His
love is so complete that He understands EXACTLY what you are going through, I
repeat, His love is so complete that He understands EXACTLY what you are going
through and can't wait for you to see who He is creating in you. You are a new
creation! Trust Him no matter what! Hallelujah!!!!!!!
Gideon had
to ask the Lord for confirmation a few times before obeying The Lord and defeating
those whom God had sent to overcome Israel. How many times have you asked God
for confirmation? He is more than patient and answers you every time. Are you listening
or are you struggling with Him? See, Jesus gave us power to overcome obstacles.
Every time the enemy throws something at you (affliction/direction from God)
The Alpha and Omega wants you to let Him consume the sin in your life. You have
the power to worship, dance, and sing every time someone hurts you, bills stack
up, sickness enters your life, etc. You are stronger than the problem because
The Creator is by your side! The things of the world got you down? Find out
what happens when you look to God. I dare you!
P.S. Look up
how Gideon was treated by his people. How did they talk to him before he was
appointed and how did they talk to him after he was appointed by The
Everlasting?

Heaven and Hell
Are you familiar with Sid Roth’s “It’s Supernatural” TV
show? He interviews individuals who have had supernatural experiences from God
through dreams, visions, voices, and other life altering involvements. These
people are real and their testimonies are real. If you have ever had a
supernatural experience from God, please leave a comment or message me. I’m
really interested in hearing about your revelation.
I feel that part of my job in being a child of Christ is to
speak out about some things that God has shown me. I feel like He “hires” some
of us to do just this. I know some of you will think I need medical attention
in terms of my sanity and God has already prepared me for that. Jesus was
thought to be absolutely nuts as well. As a follower, He says that the world
will hate me because they hated Him first. John 15:18
- I was young, at Bible camp, walking in the woods with the rest of the kids when I sprained my ankle. The camp nurse took my shoes off. I didn't have socks on and my feet were completely black from the shoes I had been wearing and so I was very embarrassed because of that. My feet smelled horrible and stunk really badly but the nurse fixed up my ankle, and gave me some crutches. I was sitting in a car right before going back and a man wearing a white shirt appeared and told me that God had great things planned for me. I looked away and when I looked back I couldn't find him. Two days later, I went out to swim in the lake and came out walking just fine. I was healed. That night, I was put in the middle of a circle during a bonfire and we praised and worshiped God. After that, the other kids I bunked with became envious of the attention I had received, started bullying me and making fun of me so I had to be moved to another bunk. Jesus washes our feet. I’m so glad He is helping us walk, being our limitless righteous crutch, being someone we can lean on and trust. When we are injured, we can bathe in the living water and come out walking with renewed strength. God is always with us.
- One night I had a dream about Heaven and Hell. I felt like I was going to a job interview. I got out of a black car and started walking on a sidewalk. I heard the clack, clack, clack, of my high heels but when I looked down to see I didn't see anything but the sidewalk and then I saw that I was wearing something white. Along the sidewalk were beautiful shrubs and flowers. I came to a brick building and opened the door. It took some effort because it was very heavy. As soon as I walked in, I saw a tall man welcoming another man into his office and knew that the tall man was the president or manager of the building. The door to that office closed. I walked into the room next to it because the door was wide open and said, “Hi!” As if I worked there and had been working there for years and knew everyone already and we were great friends. There was a desk and behind the desk was a beautiful man with blonde hair, blue eyes, red lips, and flawless, porcelain skin. He looked perfect and like he was wearing make-up but he wasn’t. Next to him was a woman with long, brown hair and she was actually a little on the heavy side. She was white as well. Then, in a dark corner of the room were tall, dark men. They seemed to be more observers of the situation. I looked but didn't want anything to do with them. I walked up to the table and the man with blonde hair started talking to me. Even his voice was perfect. It wasn't a baritone or tenor. It was just a perfect voice. The only problem was that I couldn't understand a word He was saying. Instead of asking him to speak English, I pretended like I could understand Him and when he was done, I said, “OK.” So, He started talking again with a look on His face that gave me away. So this time I turned to the woman sitting to the right and said to her, “Can you please tell me what He just said? I can't understand a word He is saying.” I know she translated but I can’t remember what was said. From there, I was running around, playing with people in a grassy field. I was overwhelmed with joy and was the happiest I had ever been in my life. Nothing else mattered and I was just as happy as an innocent little 5 year old girl. As a matter of fact, I felt like I was a little girl again. We stopped playing and running around and huddled together, hugging and greeting one another, so happy to be together. To me, they looked like white spirits. I don’t remember their faces or how many were male or female. Suddenly, I felt a strong urge to be with my Father. It was pure love. It was pure joy. You can't feel anything like that on this Earth realm. There are no words to describe it. I needed to see Him, I needed to go to Him immediately. I didn't want anything else but Him with all my heart and soul. So, like a little girl happily running to her daddy, I ran to Him in my spirit. Guess who I saw? The perfect blond man with blue eyes that didn’t speak English earlier. His eyes were loving but concerned. His eyes were all-knowing and kind. I can still see His eyes, when I pray, when I repent, when I worship Him. It’s like He sees everything all at once and knows everything all at once and knew that at that moment, when I was running to him, that I would be crying and seeking His face after this. He knew that I would be clapping and singing and looking into His eyes after this. How could I know, that at that moment, He was watching me, my whole life? Well, I was picked up by a smoky figure. I was being carried away from Heaven. I was being made to leave that joyful paradise. I looked down and saw a smoky dark arm carrying me and I was throwing a fit. I was kicking my legs and swinging my arms trying to get loose. Then I heard, “She’s a fighter.” His reply was, “Yes, that’s why I love her, that’s why I want her, and that’s how I made her.” God protected me while I was in Hell. I know He explained to me that I would be fine but that we would see some uncomfortable things. First, He showed me that they were just like animals that could be kept at bay with just a toddler gate. We closed a few toddler gates on the way down to keep them from following and to keep them away. Once, I actually stopped and started scratching the ears of one of them. It had hands and feet like a brown bear but had big pointy ears. It just started up at me with wide eyes in disbelief that I was able to touch it. It didn't dawn on me what they were until after the dream. I really just thought that they were animals and I love animals so I scratched it behind the ears. We got to a big table with big creatures sitting at it. I felt like Alice in Wonderland when she had taken the pill and everything around her was humongous. The smoky figure picked me up so I could see what they were eating and it was people. He sat me back down and I remembered something from my childhood that happened to me unjustly. I pray in Yeshua’s name that those who have treated me wrongfully are given every opportunity to repent and are overwhelmed with the Holy Spirit so that we can laugh and play together in Heaven. I don't want anyone to undergo that kind of treatment. Unexpectedly I was in a car and the smoky figure was driving. It was overcast and the trees along the road were barren. On the side of the road was a man. He was wearing a white T-shirt but it was cold outside. He had his head down and it looked like He was skinny and hungry. I looked closer and it was the blonde man with red lips that didn’t speak English and the same man who I ran to while I was in Heaven. It was God, The Father, The Almighty, Everlasting to Everlasting, Beginning and End, First and Last. We just drove past Him. I had to repent for driving past Him in my dream because I should have told the smoky figure to stop and pick Him up, give Him some food, and provide for Him a warm place to stay.

Life is a Journey - Passion for Truth Ministries
This message speaks about what I have been learning for the past 2 weeks.

Monday, January 12, 2015
This is what we're here for.
So, your daughter is with a boy you can’t stand. Your son
has un-preferable friends. The finances look grim. A loved one is sick. Your
job security is shaky. You and your spouse fight. The list can be endless in
regards to the things we fight on a daily basis. It is so easy to get caught up
in the negativity, worry, and seemingly hopelessness of everything. You get
angry. You get hurt. You get tired.
I’ve learned that all this is an opportunity to cry out to
God. You lost your focus so He tries to get you back. You need to experience
His love again. This doesn't mean that you are weak. This means that you are
stronger than you were before because you recognize that the enemy is allowed
to throw darts at you so that you can avoid them under the protection of The
Almighty and when you get hit, it’s an opportunity to let Him heal you.
His love is more powerful than anything we have ever seen,
heard or experienced on this Earth. He won't let you forget about Him because
He needs you more than you need Him. He loved you before you loved Him. He
thought of you when He created the Universe. Even when we feel Him at church,
we go back to our lives, working, taking care of children, laundry, cooking,
paying bills. We are held captive by the enemy in this world, however, He
conquered the world for you. Call out to Him in your heart. He killed himself,
nailed Himself on the cross to save you from the pit and gave you Heaven. It’s
free and it’s all yours.
You're going to worry about all these other things happening
in your life instead of lifting your face to the One who’s calling you? You
need to constantly seek Him in all that you do. When you pray in the morning,
don't end it with an “Amen.” Keep the conversation going all day and see what
happens. Pretty soon you'll recognize that He speaks to you through other
people, He will start opening your eyes to the blessings He’s giving you.
You'll have a light, a new outlook on life, a new you and other people will
notice. He will help you and give you new things to spread your light.
There’s no limit to The Everlasting. He is the Beginning and
The End, The Alpha and Omega, The First and Last. He can handle everything you
are going through and then some. Next time something hurtful or scary happens,
try to outdo the person or situation with love and honor. Don't look at the
other person or situation, look to God. If someone or something is negative, be
that much more loving and then turn up the volume. Make yourself look
ridiculous when it comes to loving and honoring one another. Make it a contest!
A good hearted contest of course, be competitive in love. “Be devoted to one
another in brotherly love; give preference to one another in honor; not lagging
behind in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; rejoicing in hope,
persevering in tribulation, devoted to prayer,” Romans 12:10-12

Breathe Happy
Acts 23:1 Paul lived in ALL good
conscience before God UNTIL that day.
Acts 23:3 Paul said the high priest was going to strike him when Paul was abiding by the
law. This is an example of miscommunication. One doesn't understand, even
though he holds a high seat, and rebukes the one who does understand when he is
a lower individual.
Acts 23: 4-5 Paul states that he didn't know that Ananias was the high priest even though you could totally tell back
then by what they wore. The high priest is Jesus, and when asked if Paul
reviled Him, he responded by telling everyone present that Ananias was a
ruler of people quoting Exodus 22:28. However, another layer to this is that
Ananias, back in Acts 22:12, is stated as being a devout man who made Paul to
see with the direction of The Lord. It was the power of Jesus that took the
blindfold off of Paul. Jesus is the High Priest and white and a wall of
defense.
Acts 23:9 The Pharisees believed Paul,
but didn’t believe that he had been visited by Jesus.
Acts 23:10 Among the fits of anger and
rivalries, a Roman commander and his soldiers, who were neither Sadducees nor
Pharisees, moved Paul into safety, by force. So there he rested. God is
always with us. These commanders and soldiers had to use force and implies that
the uproar was a pretty big one and this was the 2nd time the Roman commander
had aided Paul. The commander was the one who unbound Paul’s hands but then he
put Paul before the high priest and council. Afterwards, the commander removes
Paul by force. This is much like how God frees us, puts us in a crossfire,
saves us, and then lets us rest. I love seeing God’s power.
Acts 23:11 Jesus tells Paul to be of
good cheer because he’s going to testify in Jerusalem and Rome. When I read
this, I was like, really? How could Paul be of good cheer when he almost just
died and now he has to go testify around the vicinity where Jesus was sentenced
and crucified? This my friends, is a testament of the Holy Spirit and how He
calms us, even in the face of death.
Acts 23:12 Fasting for Jews is serious
business. Remember how Ruth and her people fasted for their lives? These people were
fasting to kill. When you fast, angels are sent to help you. Daniel 10:13 You
can fast without eating food but these Sadducee Jews refused to eat or drink! They
held the majority of the seats in the Sanhedrin which were the 71 Jewish sages who
constituted the Supreme Court and legislative body in Judea during the Roman
period.
Acts
23:13 Over 40 Jews were planning to kill Paul. This is over half of the
Sanhedrin/Supreme Court.
Acts
23:16-24 When Jesus washes Peter’s feet, Peter says, “No, you shall never wash my feet.” Looking at Jesus like a servant
was hard until Peter realized that he wouldn’t have any part with Jesus if he
wasn't washed.
Just as Jesus called himself the Son of Man, I want to submit to you that Paul’s
nephew was actually a family member that exists in the spiritual realm. Who
would be allowed to enter into the barracks where he was being held safe?
Remember, the outcry of the Jews was so intense that they fasted after nearly
killing him. In this, the commander can be looked at in much the same way. God
uses us for His will and His angels guide us. So, for over 40 Jews, the
commander prepared 200 soldiers (centurion in Latin means 1 hundred), 70
horsemen, and 200 spearmen to take Paul to the governor on mounts. For only
about 40 Jews? Really? Take a look around. You think your problems are big? You
think your problems are huge? That’s too bad because God’s plan is bigger than
your problems and He sends soldiers, horsemen, and spearmen to help you. So,
how are you going to accept His help?
Acts 23:26-30 This letter pretty much
sums up the price that was paid for us on the cross. The Commander says that
Paul “had nothing charged against him deserving of death or chains.” Acts 23:29
Jesus is also known as the Commander. See, you might think that this is literal
or that the commander is an angel. God is ultimate wisdom and understanding and
when you read something that is God’s word, there are layers that involve
reference and time.
Acts 23:31-35 The governor placed Paul
in the most important Roman palace
on the banks of the Rhine. The Praetorium was the official residence of the
Imperial Governor. This was before his accusers where even there. The
letter was presented at the same time Paul was. Remember the letter said Paul
didn't do anything deserving of death? This letter is our insurance protection,
defense, security, and assurance. This letter and Governor is Jesus Christ our
Salvation.
Acts 24:1-4
This is where the high priest, the whitewashed wall, Ananias, some elders, and
a speaker arrive to accuse Paul. They thought that thanking the Governor for
his peace and prosperity was tedious for the Governor to hear because his foresight
is so great. The Lord delights in us more than we delight in Him.
Acts
24:5-9 Paul was called a plague. He was accused of trying to profane the
temple. It’s true that Paul persecuted Jesus, however, Jesus rose from the
dead. So, the key word here is tried or had intent. When it says that the
commander took Paul out of their hands by great violence, I can barely imagine
the spiritual war that ensued. It must have been a great slaughter on the side
of the enemy. Paul’s accusers were commanded to answer to the Governor all the
while Paul was sitting pretty in the Governor’s personal residence. At this
point, it is up to the Governor to ascertain whether these accusations by the
speaker, elders, and Ananias were true.
Acts
24:10 The tone changes dramatically here. Paul is cheerful in answering
after the Governor lets him talk. Jesus took the place of Paul! Paul’s life was
the proof of Jesus, The Everlasting God’s love!
Acts 24:11-14
The Way was prophesied all throughout the front of the Bible. Jesus is The Way,
The Truth, and The Life. When Jesus was in the synagogue, he read from Isaiah
and stated that the prophecy was fulfilled. He showed us all how it’s done.
Acts
24:15-21 Paul explains that he believes as the Jews believe, the “resurrection of
the dead, both of the just and the unjust.” He states that there were
witnesses, Asian Jews, who saw him worshiping in the temple and not trying to
profane it and that he is being accused of following what is written in the Law
and in the Prophets (the front of the Bible).
Acts
24:22-27 This caused the Governor to adjourn the proceedings until the
Commander’s return. Who else is returning? (Paul was found blameless) Then the
Governor would make a decision. Paul was given free will while being protected
by the centurion (100 in Latin). The Governor returns with his wife. The bride
and the bridegroom. The Governor, Felix, was familiar with The Way and his wife
was Jewish. As Felix spoke with Paul about Jesus, righteousness, self-control,
and the judgment to come, he sent Paul away until the time was more appropriate
for him. The Governor spoke with Paul periodically afterwards, in hopes of receiving
payment. What are you paying God? Do you love Him with all your heart, mind,
soul, and strength? Do you share this love for Him and this love He has for
you?
