Why Satan wants you dead!

The suicide rate is climbing. More and more people feel that life is not worth living. If you are one of them, you are not alone. I want you to understand why you are having the thoughts of suicide. It goes way back past the time you were born. God created the angels before He created mankind. Satan was created as an angel. He was perfect at first, but soon he decided that he wanted to be like God and have the other angels worship him. (Ezekiel 28:14-15 NIV) You were anointed as a guardian cherub, for so I ordained you. You were on the holy mount of God; you walked among the fiery stones. {15} You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created till wickedness was found in you. God does not play this game, there is only one God and He will not share His glory with anyone. (Isaiah 42:8 NIV) "I am the LORD; that is my name! I will not give my glory to another or my praise to idols."

God judged Satan and as His holy nature demands put him under punishment. This is where it gets very interesting. God did not start the punishment immediately, but instead commanded that it will happen later. Then God created the earth and mankind. I can't speak for God, but I think God was making a point to Satan and the other angels which followed him. God created mankind and gave us free will to choose good or bad. Satan knew this and tempted Adam and Eve. They sinned and God declared punishment on them just like Satan knew He would. Satan thought he had won, he had caused God's creation to rebel and therefore be sentenced to death. (Ezekiel 18:4 NIV) For every living soul belongs to me, the father as well as the son--both alike belong to me. The soul who sins is the one who will die.

But God also did something else, that drove Satan nuts. He provided a way for us to be forgiven. God never gave Satan a chance at forgiveness. God showed His mercy and His love to us. (Romans 5:8 NIV) But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. God Himself paid our debt for us in the form of Jesus Christ, His Son. Satan hates God, but he is not powerful enough to do anything to God. God is in control and one day Satan will be punished and he knows it. However, Satan thinks he has found a way to hurt God. He knows that God loves us and he knows that God has left it up to us whether we accept His free gift of salvation or not. Satan also knows that we only have that choice until the day we die, after that our fate is sealed and we cannot change it.

When God created Adam and Eve, He created them in His own image. (Genesis 1:26 NIV) Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground." Every time Satan sees one of us, he is reminded of God. He hates us because he hates God. He wants to destroy anything and everything which reminds him of God and we do just that.

Knowing that God loves us, that we are sentenced to death, that we can be forgiven, but only until the day we die, Satan figures that if he can get us to kill ourselves he will hurt God because God's holy nature demands that He punish us for our sins. See that is what it is all about. Satan could not care less about you or me, but he knows God loves us so if he can hurt us and make sure we can't spend eternity with God, that will hurt God. And of course don't forget that we remind him of God, whom he hates. If you commit suicide, Satan gets his wish. Now some people think that Satan will be in hell tormenting people and running things. That is not true, he will be there alright, but hell was made for his punishment. (Matthew 25:41 NIV) "Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.'" The people there won't have anything to worry about from Satan, but both them and Satan will be punished by God.

So Satan keeps at you, trying to tell you that your life is not worth living. He tries to convince you that the best thing for you is death. He will tell you whatever you want to hear. If you are tired and want rest, then he will tell you that death will be rest. If you feel pain he will tell you that death will bring relief from the pain. If you are lonely he will tell you death will solve that too. It is all lies! He just wants you to be separated from God, so God won't have the pleasure of showing you His love. God does not want anyone to die for their sins: (Ezekiel 18:32 NIV) For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Sovereign LORD. Repent and live!

(John 3:16 NIV) "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

This is a battle for your soul. Satan wants your soul lost for eternity and God wants you to be saved and your soul to live with Him forever. It is up to you which one wins. You have to fight it, you have to turn to God and ask for His help. You have to ask for His forgiveness and for Him to give you life. Satan won't quit once you are a Christian, but then you will not have to fight this alone, God will stand beside you and help you.

Don't get me wrong about God. He created us for His own pleasure. He does not need us or our company, but He loves us and wants to show us His mercy and His love. He gave us the choice whether we would obey and serve Him or disobey and rebel against Him. He has offered a way out of the punishment we deserve, but it is up to us if we accept it or not. Many people don't accept it because to accept God's gift you have to admit two things; one - you have to admit you deserve to die for your sins, and two - you have to admit that you can't save yourself and that you owe God a debt you can't pay. Satan's first sin was the sin of pride. He caused Eve to sin because of her pride. He convinced her if she did what God had told her not to do, she would be like God. Instead of being like God she and the rest of us along with her became like Satan; condemned for our sins.

The Crucifixion of Jesus Christ (Satan's Perspective)

Rate: 3Flag


Finally, the moment that I have waited so long to see! Once this Jesus is dead I will truly be all powerful over all mankind. God thought that he was SO crafty by sending this weak human here to proclaim his love for all mankind. Ha! Humans are as weak now as they ever were. Mere mortals with no power. Only God could come up with something as pathetic as this.
Oh look! Here he comes, winding his way up the hill to one of my favorite places. I have seen many a man lose his life on this hill they call Golgotha. Sometimes they put on a good show before they die, sometimes they don't. Something tells me that this Jesus won't disappoint!
That's it drive those spikes deep into his flesh. I want him to feel pain and lot's of it! He had a chance to have it all but he declined my invitation. Fine! Now you will suffer for your mistake Jesus!
I must say the Romans have really done a number on him. His flesh is just hanging off of him in tatters that blow in the wind. And look at all that blood. HA! It just oozes out of him from thousands of massive wounds. This didn't have to happen Jesus! You could have ruled the world, by my side. I would have given it all to you if you had only bowed before me. That would have been a GREAT victory! But this is just as sweet, I suppose.
Ah, yes! Stand that cross up there high. Now just let gravity takes it toll. The pain, the anguish, the pure entertainment of it all. Exquisite! I am enjoying this much more than I thought I would! Does is hurt Jesus? Are you in agony? Where is your God now? I see no God here before me. I see a mere mortal whose life is slowly ebbing out of him and will soon be gone.
Look at all of those pathetic followers of his. They weep and mourn, for what? Him? Wait until they start feeling my wrath, THEN they will weep and mourn! I DO love to mingle in human affairs. These humans are so...oh what's the word...WEAK!
Come! My fellow demons and devils. Come and watch the spectacle with me. WE are moments away from total power over the Earth and all it's inhabitants. Make sure that once Jesus dies you quickly lay hold of him and bring him to Hell. I long to torment him. I salivate at the mere thoughts of what I can do with him.
It's getting late now. Who knows how long he will hang on this cross? He might be there for days. No matter. The longer he is there the more pain he will endure.
Wait...what is he saying. "My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?" HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! It's official! God has turned his back on you Jesus and now you are mine! I cannot describe the joy that I am feeling right now. He looks SOOOOO pathetic up there. Look at his face. The pain must be unimaginable! Good! I hope he hangs up there for weeks!!!
Oh, wait. He is speaking again. "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.". "It is finished." Well, I guess he is not as strong as we all thought he was. Is he really going to die now? No! This can't be. He hasn't been up there long enough yet! Oh well! I guess the show is over.
All right troops, let's head back home. Apparently, the show is over. Hmmmm, it's very dark all of a sudden? And what is that rumbling sound? Oh GOOD! An earthquake! Surely there will be widespread death and destruction. I DO love a good earthquake!
There is work to be done. Mankind MUST be tormented. I HATE man and will do so until the last one stands upon this Earth! I RULE the Earth not these weak mortals!
Time to return to Hell and await those killed in this Earthquake.
Meanwhile, in the spiritual realm. (Colossians 2:15 - Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.)
How could this happen! HOW! I was tricked! This Jesus WAS the Messiah. NOOOOOO!!! This cannot be! I am powerless now! How could I have not seen this coming? This is by far the worst thing that could have EVER happened to me. My kingdom is in ruins! Now Jesus hold the keys to MY kingdom! I am nothing! NOTHING! God has triumphed once again. NOOOOOO!!! This cannot be! NOOOOOO!!!
Fine! If I am to be condemned and powerless than mankind WILL feel my wrath more than they ever have. Come, let's go! We have but only a short time and much to do! I may have lost this battle but I WILL NOT go away. I must make sure that humans do NOT embrace this Jesus. I must confuse them. Somehow, I must make them believe that this is all just fiction and none of it matters. If they believe in Jesus I will be powerless! They must not believe! They must NOT believe! There is much work to be done. The time is short. Come! We must get busy. They must NOT believe, they mus

Whitewashing Islam In The Media

The True Facts About Islam, And Why It's So Dangerous

 

 

From Hell
Dear Mom,

I am writing to you from the most horrible place that I have ever seen,

and more horrible than you could ever imagine.


It is BLACK here,

so DARK that I cannot even see all the souls

I am constantly bumping into.

I only know they are people like myself

from the blood curdling SCREAMS.

My voice is gone from my own screaming

as I writhe in pain and suffering.

I cannot even cry for help anymore,

and it is no use anyway,

there is no one here that has any compassion

at all for my plight.



The PAIN and suffering\

in this place is absolutely unbearable.

It so consumes my every thought,

I could not know if there were any other sensation to come upon me.

The pain is so severe, it never stops day or night.

The turning of days does not appear because of the darkness.

What may be nothing more than minutes

or even seconds seems like many endless years.

The thought of this suffering continuing without end

is more than I can bear.

My mind is spinning more and more with each passing moment.

I feel like a madman,

I cannot even think clearly under this load of confusion.

I fear I am losing my mind.



The FEAR is just as bad as the pain,

maybe even worse.

I don’t see how my predicament could be any worse than this,

but I am in constant fear that it MIGHT be at any moment.



My mouth is parched,

and will only become more so.

It is so dry that my tongue cleaves to the roof of my mouth.

I recall that old preacher saying that’s what Jesus Christ endured

as he hung on that old rugged cross.

There is no relief,

not so much as a single drop of water

to cool my swollen tongue.


To add even more misery to this place of torment,

I know that I deserve to be here.

I am being punished justly for my deeds.

The punishment, the pain, the suffering

is no worse than I justly deserve,

but admitting that now will never ease the anguish

that burns eternally in my wretched soul.

I hate myself for committing the sins to earn such a horrible fate,

I hate the devil that deceived me so that I would end up in this place.

And as much as I know it is an unspeakable wickedness

to think such a thing,

I hate the very God that sent his only begotten Son

to spare me this torment.

I can never blame the Christ that suffered

and bled and died for me,

but I hate him anyway.

I cannot even control my feelings

that I know to be wicked, wretched and vile.

I am more wicked and vile now

than I ever was in my earthly existence.

Oh, If only I had listened.

Buddha Prophesized about Jesus (Yeshua)Buddha's Date of Birth: approx. 563 Before Christ (BC)


just realized something ...
It just hit me! My dog sleeps about 20 hours a day. He has his food prepared for him. His meals are provided at no cost to him. He visits the Dr. once a year for his checkup, and again during the year, if any medical needs arise. For this he pays nothing, and nothing is required of him. He lives in a nice neighborhood in a house that is much larger than he needs, but he is not required to do any upkeep. If he makes a mess, someone else cleans it up. He has his choice of luxurious places to sleep. He receives these accommodations absolutely free. He is living like a king, and has absolutely no expenses whatsoever. All of his costs are picked up by others who earn a living. I was just thinking about all this, and suddenly it hit me like a brick ..........
My dog is a CONGRESSMAN !!!!

Who in America, or their right mind, would vote for Obama after they read this?

Who in America, or their right mind, would vote for Obama after they read this?

Obama must really want to be a one term president! The soldiers who wake up in Walter Reed Medical Center are in Maryland, not communist China. But, under the Navy's new rules, they may not know the difference!

After months of peeling away the military's core values, Obama's atheist communist army is on the move. And this time, it has a high-value target: the Bible.

In a memo obtained by FRC, Navy officials have announced that "no religious items (including Bibles, reading material, and/or artifacts) are allowed to be given away or used during a visit." The new orders are buried in a four-page document about patient care, which an Army officer forwarded to us in disbelief!

Effective immediately, families, friends, and even pastors will have to check their beliefs at the door to visit one of the largest military hospitals in the United States Last night, after we circulated the memo to leaders on the Hill, an outraged Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) took to the House floor and blasted the policy!

"Mr. Speaker, these military men and women who are recovering at Walter Reed and Bethesda have given their all for America! They've defended and taken an oath to the Constitution, and here they are. The people who come to visit them can't bring a religious artifact? They can't bring a Bible? ... A priest can't walk in with the Eucharist and offer communion to a patient who might be on his deathbed because it's prohibited in this memo from the Department of the Navy?"

This is Obama's military, where homosexuality is celebrated and Christianity is censored; where witches are financed and crosses are scorned; where bestiality is embracedand Bibles are banned; where same-sex "weddings" are encouraged but international charity is not! After three years of ideological warfare, the Obama administration's intent is clear: to disarm the military of its biggest weapon?..FAITH!

Regardless of Obama's agenda, there is absolutely nothing in the Constitution that empowers the government to stop family members from giving Bibles or crosses or prayers to their loved ones! And from a PR standpoint, I'm not sure the best way to boost approval ratings is by denying comfort to wounded warriors! Unfortunately for our troops, who have endured so much turmoil under the Obama administration

The truth about the church that Jesus founded.

Jesus told the apostles, "upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." At the Last Supper. He also said, "this is my commandment to you, love one another as I have loved you." He also said to John and James "he who is not against me is with me." Another thing he said, "I have many sheep that are not of his pasture."



The rock upon which Jesus founded his church is the papacy that is St. Peter and all the popes who have followed him. He knew from the beginning that the church would be attacked, split splintered into hundreds, and eventually thousands of sects. He knew when he founded his church that he was putting it into the hands of fallible men, men who would make countless mistakes down through the centuries.



Jesus founded his church to teach people infinite love, "love your enemies, and do good to them." And, sadly, from the beginning Satan has schemed and plotted and has done everything in his power to destroy the church.



How Satan works.



From the very beginning, Satan has used lies, division, accusations, false ideas and every possible deception to destroy the human race. From Pentecost on Satan caused men to doubt, or not believe at all. He instilled in some of the early Christians false doctrines, or as the church calls them, heresies. He did this to divide one group of the church from another, which eventually resulted in the breaking off of many branches of the church, such as the various Eastern schism’s.

From the very beginning Satan wanted to be worshiped as God because he thought he was better than God. He would like to rise up and take the throne of God. He wants the whole world to bow down and adore him. Down through the centuries. He has raised up many false prophets and leaders which come under the heading of antichrists. Around the seventh century. He was able to possess a man who founded a truly anti-Christian religion. Since then there have been many men who have been types of antichrist, such as Napoleon, Karl Marx, Lenin, Hitler, Mussolini, Joseph Stalin, Mao Tse dong. Pol Pot. And many others. He has founded organizations for the purpose of his own worship, such as Freemasonry, Illuminati. He has been to a more or less degree, the hidden ruler of most nations and societies. He’s truly is a formidable adversary.

I will add more to this as time goes by.

Muhammad bin Abdullah was the bastard son of a Meccan proprstitute

 




Muhammad bin Abdullah was the bastard son of a Meccan prostitute. His prostitute mother wanted nothing to do with the fatherless bastard child and abandoned him at birth.



Raised by strangers, Muhammad was thought to be demon possessed as a young child because of the dark fits and seizures he constantly had. His adoptive father feared the child and wanted to get rid of him believing him to be evil.



As a young man, Muhammad first earned his keep by playing the part of a gigolo to a much older woman. Muhammad lived off of her largess until she died.



Being illiterate and having no practical skills or talents, Muhammad adopted the profession of a "highwayman" or a thief, a robber, a plunderer of caravans. He was a common criminal. Business was good and Muhammad expanded his operations adding other thieves and taking a 20% cut of their booty from plundered caravans.



It was at this time Muhammad also refined his skills as a rapist of women. Muhammad would go on to have a very low opinion of women throughout his life ultimately becoming a misogynist or hater of women. This all probably stemmed from his knowledge that his mother was a prostitute who abandoned him at birth.



Muhammad was a sociopath with delusions of grandeur. A narcissist, Muhammad was very much in love with himself. It was at this time Muhammad started the "highwayman's con" of hearing voices from God. He was insane of course but insane with a criminal's mind.

Muhammad tried the theatre of being a "Jesus Christ copycat" by day and a caravan robber by night for 13 years in Mecca. The act failed miserably. The Meccans had seen charlatans like Muhammad before and they just laughed at him and considered him a fool. After 13 years he had virtually no followers other than his buddies in the caravan-robbing business.



When Muhammad's massive ego could no longer stand the constant ridicule of the Meccans, Muhammad moved to Medina and reinvented himself. It was here in Medina after suffering years of ridicule as a kook that Muhammad became a savage murdering butcher.



Muhammad gave you one chance to kneel to him and if you resisted, he slaughtered your village. After 13 years of only being able to attract a handful of people, Muhammad found that adopting terror tactics worked and killing large numbers of people instilled fear in others. At this time, Islam went from no believers to thousands of believers. People adopted Islam to save their necks from Muhammad's sword.



Muhammad's narcissism also grew exponentially. No fetish was left to the imagination. Muhammad experimented with adultery and seduced his own adopted son's wife. He engaged in bisexuality and transvestitism (wearing of women's clothes), he became a pederast (a man who seduced young boys) and a pedophile. He masturbated on children and took a 6-year-old child as a bride. He developed urolagnia (urine drinking) fetishes and told his followers that drinking his (Muhammad's) urine was a guaranteed way of gaining admission to paradise. His followers drank his urine, licked the sweat from his body and rubbed his spittle and his feces into their faces to win "Allah's approval." This was like giving sugar to ants and fed Muhammad's unchecked sick narcissism.



Muhammad also allowed his racist beliefs to come to life. He preached that Blacks were lower than donkeys, were "raisin heads" and he taught that no Black ever went to Paradise with Muhammad personally withholding intercession with Allah against all of them.



At this point, Muhammad continued his reign of terror and started exiling all the Jews from the Arabian Peninsula. 2/3rds of the Jews had seen or heard of Muhammad's brutal raids of murder, butchery and rape and left voluntarily. The last 1/3rd did not leave quickly enough so Muhammad had them rounded up and roped and tied. In one day, Muhammad personally beheaded 800 defenseless Jews in dug-out trenches in Medina. He had them brought to him in batches bound and he beheaded all of them in a bloodlust frenzy that went on from dawn to dusk. The Islamic Hadith report that one women became hysterical as Muhammad beheaded her husband. Muhammad calmly walked over and ran his sword through the woman as she stood just a few feet away from Muhammad's 6-year-old child bride who was playing with dolls.



This is the history of a man Islam tells you was the personal representative of God on Earth. A bloody man. A sick man. A deviant of a man. An insane man.



For the last 10 years of his life, Muhammad waged an average of one bloody massacre after the next every six weeks.

Then Muhammad's life was ended. You may ask how. Did he commit an act of martyrdom? Was there something special to his death? The answer is no. He was given rat poison by an enemy and he died a death of torture described by his child bride as the worst suffering she had ever seen ... and remember this child had witnessed Muhammad butchering scores of others.



And so Muhammad died. Hearing of the tyrant's death, thousands tried to flee evil Islam. Muhammad's henchman, Abu Bakr, went out on butchering raids slaughtering any who threatened to leave Islam. Thus this 1400 year cult of the damned began. Since the warlord Muhammad met his end with rat poison, 270 million have been killed for the glorification of Islam. That 270 million represents more deaths than the tolls from both world wars fought on this planet.



Muhammad was no representative of God. He was insane, perverted and evil. Islam is no religion. It is a cult of the devil.



Islam is the greatest evil ever set loose on this planet.?

The Faithless Spouse

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: [2] Son of man, make known to Jerusalem her abominations. [3] And thou shalt say: Thus saith the Lord God to Jerusalem: Thy root, and thy nativity is of the land of Chanaan, thy father was an Amorrhite, and thy mother a Cethite. [4] And when thou wast born, in the day of thy nativity thy navel was not cut, neither wast thou washed with water for thy health, nor salted with salt, nor swaddled with clouts. [5] No eye had pity on thee to do any of these things for thee, out of compassion to thee: but thou wast cast out upon the face of the earth in the abjection of thy soul, in the day that thou wast born.
[2] Make known to Jerusalem: That is, by letters, for the prophet was then in Babylon. [6] And passing by thee, I saw that thou wast trodden under foot in thy own blood. and I said to thee when thou wast in thy blood: Live: I have said to thee: Live in thy blood. [7] I caused thee to multiply as the bud of the field: and thou didst increase and grow great, and advancedst, and camest to woman's ornament: thy breasts were fashioned, and thy hair grew: and thou wast naked, and full of confusion. [8] And I passed by thee, and saw thee: and behold thy time was the time of lovers: and I spread my garment over thee, and covered thy ignominy. And I swore to thee, and I entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord God: and thou becamest mine. [9] And I washed thee with water, and cleansed away thy blood from thee: and I anointed thee with oil. [10] And I clothed thee with embroidery, and shod thee with violet coloured shoes: and I girded thee about with fine linen, and clothed thee with fine garments. [11] I decked thee also with ornaments, and put bracelets on thy hands, and a chain about thy neck. [12] And I put a jewel upon thy forehead and earrings in thy ears, and a beautiful crown upon thy head. [13] And thou wast adorned with gold, and silver, and wast clothed with fine linen, and embroidered work, and many colours: thou didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil, and wast made exceeding beautiful: and wast advanced to be a queen. [14] And thy renown went forth among the nations for thy beauty: for thou wast perfect through my beauty, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord God. [15] But trusting in thy beauty, thou playedst the harlot because of thy renown, and thou hast prostituted thyself to every passenger, to be his.
[11] I decked thee also with ornaments: That is, with spiritual benefits, giving you a law with sacrifices, sacraments, and other holy rites. [16] And taking of thy garments thou hast made thee high places sewed together on each side: and hast played the harlot upon them, as hath not been done before, nor shall be hereafter. [17] And thou tookest thy beautiful vessels, of my gold, and my silver, which I gave thee, and thou madest thee images of men, and hast committed fornication with them. [18] And thou tookest thy garments of divers colours, and coveredst them: and settest my oil and my sweet incense before them. [19] And my bread which I gave thee, the fine flour, and oil, and honey, wherewith I fed thee, thou hast set before them for a sweet odour; and it was done, saith the Lord God. [20] And thou hast taken thy sons, and thy daughters, whom thou hast borne to me: and hast sacrificed the same to them to be devoured. Is thy fornication small? [21] Thou hast sacrificed and given my children to them, consecrating them by fire. [22] And after all thy abominations, and fornications, thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked, and full of confusion, trodden under foot in thy own blood. [23] And it came to pass after all thy wickedness (woe, woe to thee, saith the Lord God) [24] That thou didst also build thee a common stew, and madest thee a brothel house in every street. [25] At every head of the way thou hast set up a sign of thy prostitution: and hast made thy beauty to be abominable: and hast prostituted thyself to every one that passed by, and hast multiplied thy fornications.
[21] Thou hast sacrificed: As there is nothing more base and abominable than the crimes mentioned throughout this chapter; so the infidelities of the Israelites in forsaking God, and sacrificing even their children to idols, are strongly figured by these allegories. [26] And thou hast committed fornication with the Egyptians thy neighbours, men of large bodies, and hast multiplied thy fornications to provoke me. [27] Behold, I will stretch out my hand upon thee, and will take away thy justification: and I will deliver thee up to the will of the daughters of the Philistines that hate thee, that are ashamed of thy wicked way. [28] Thou hast also committed fornication with the Assyrians, because thou wast not yet satisfied: and after thou hadst played the harlot with them, even so thou wast not contented. [29] Thou hast also multiplied thy fornications in the land of Chanaan with the Chaldeans: and neither so wast thou satisfied. [30] Wherein shall I cleanse thy heart, saith the Lord God: seeing thou dost all these the works of a shameless prostitute? [31] Because thou hast built thy brothel house at the head of every way, and thou hast made thy high place in every street: and wast not as a harlot that by disdain enhanceth her price, [32] But as an adulteress, that bringeth in strangers over her husband. [33] Gifts are given to all harlots: but thou hast given hire to all thy lovers, and thou hast given them gifts to come to thee from every side, to commit fornication with thee. [34] And it hath happened in thee contrary to the custom of women in thy fornications, and after thee there shall be no such fornication: for in that thou gavest rewards, and didst not take rewards, the contrary hath been done in thee. [35] Therefore, O harlot, hear the word of the Lord. [36] Thus saith the Lord God: Because thy money hath been poured out, and thy shame discovered through thy fornications with thy lovers, and with the idols of thy abominations, by the blood of thy children whom thou gavest them: [37] Behold, I will gather together all thy lovers with whom thou hast taken pleasure, and all whom thou hast loved, with all whom thou hast hated: and I will gather them together against thee on every side, and will discover thy shame in their sight, and they shall see all thy nakedness. [38] And I will judge thee as adulteresses, and they that shed blood are judged: and I will give thee blood in fury and jealousy. [39] And I will deliver thee into their hands, and they shall destroy thy brothel house, and throw down thy stews: and they shall strip thee of thy garments, and shall take away the vessels of thy beauty: and leave thee naked, and full of disgrace. [40] And they shall bring upon thee a multitude, and they shall stone thee with stones, and shall slay thee with their swords. [41] And they shall burn thy houses with fire, and shall execute judgments upon thee in the sight of many women: and thou shalt cease from fornication, and shalt give no hire any more. [42] And my indignation shall rest in thee: and my jealousy shall depart from thee, and I will cease and be angry no more. [43] Because thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, but hast provoked me in all these things: wherefore I also have turned thy ways upon thy head, saith the Lord God, and I have not done according to thy wicked deeds in all thy abominations. [44] Behold every one that useth a common proverb, shall use this against thee, saying: As the mother was, so also is her daughter. [45] Thou art thy mother's daughter, that cast off her husband, and her children: and thou art the sister of thy sisters, who cast off their husbands, and their children: your mother was a Cethite, and your father an Amorrhite. [46] And thy elder sister is Samaria, she and her daughters that dwell at thy left hand: and thy younger sister that dwelleth at thy right hand is Sodom, and her daughters. [47] But neither hast thou walked in their ways, nor hast thou done a little less than they according to their wickednesses: thou hast done almost more wicked things than they in all thy ways. [48] As I live, saith the Lord God, thy sister Sodom herself, and her daughters, have not done as thou hast done, and thy daughters. [49] Behold this was the iniquity of Sodom thy sister, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance, and the idleness of her, and of her daughters: and they did not put forth their hand to the needy, and to the poor. [50] And they were lifted up, and committed abominations before me: and I took them away as thou hast seen.
[49] This was the iniquity of Sodom: That is, these were the steps by which the Sodomites came to fall into those abominations for which they were destroyed. For pride, gluttony, and idleness are the highroad to all kinds of lust; especially when they are accompanied with a neglect of the works of mercy. [51] And Samaria committed not half thy sins: but thou hast surpassed them with thy crimes, and hast justified thy sisters by all thy abominations which thou hast done. [52] Therefore do thou also bear thy confusion, thou that hast surpassed thy sisters with thy sins, doing more wickedly than they: for they are justified above thee, therefore be thou also confounded, and bear thy shame, thou that hast justified thy sisters. [53] And I will bring back and restore them by bringing back Sodom, with her daughters, and by bringing back Samaria, and her daughters: and I will bring those that return of thee in the midst of them. [54] That thou mayest bear thy shame, and mayest be confounded in all that thou hast done, comforting them. [55] And thy sister Sodom and her daughters shall return to their ancient state: and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their ancient state: and thou and thy daughters shall return to your ancient state.
[53] I will bring back: This relates to the conversion of the Gentiles out of all nations, and of many of the Jews, to the church of Christ.

[55] Ancient state: That is, to their former state of liberty, and their ancient possessions. In the spiritual sense, to the true liberty, and the happy inheritance of the children of God, through faith in Christ. [56] And Sodom thy sister was not heard of in thy mouth, in the day of thy pride, [57] Before thy malice was laid open: as it is at this time, making thee a reproach of the daughters of Syria, and of all the daughters of Palestine round about thee, that encompass thee on all sides. [58] Thou hast borne thy wickedness, and thy disgrace, saith the Lord God. [59] For thus saith the Lord God: I will deal with thee, as thou hast despised the oath, in breaking the covenant: [60] And I will remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth: and I will establish with thee an everlasting covenant. [61] And thou shalt remember thy ways, and be ashamed: when thou shalt receive thy sisters, thy elder and thy younger: and I will give them to thee for daughters, but not by thy covenant. [62] And I will establish my covenant with thee: and thou shalt know that I am the Lord, [63] That thou mayest remember, and be confounded, and mayest no more open thy mouth because of thy confusion, when I shall be pacified toward thee for all that thou hast done, saith the Lord God.

EXORCISM

Exorcism




Exorcism is mainly thought of as the rite of driving out the Devil and his demons from possessed persons. Exorcism is mainly performed in incidences of demonic possession that is generally distinguished from spiritual possession. A general assumption is that the Roman Catholic singularly practices the rite of exorcism, but some Protestant denominations such as the Pentecostals and other charismatic groups practice it as well. These groups refer to the practice as "deliverance ministry" where gifted people drive out devils and heal while they touch the persons with their hands, called laying on of hands, and pray over them.

Technically, exorcism is not driving out the Devil or a demon, but it is placing the Devil or demon on oath. And, in some incidences there may be more than one demon possessing a person. "Exorcism" is derived from the Greek preposition ek with the verb horkizo which means "I cause [someone] to swear" and refers to "putting the spirit or demon on oath," or invoking a higher authority to bind the entity in order to control it and command it to act contrary to its own will.

In the Christian sense this higher authority is Jesus Christ. This act is based on the belief that the Devil, his demons, and evil spirits are afraid of Christ. The belief itself is based on Scripture. Coming from the sea of Galilee Christ entered the land of the Gerasenes. He was immediately met by a man from the tombs cut into the mountains of the area. The man was said to be possessed of an unclean spirit. Nothing could bind this man, not even chains. He lived in the mountains, crying, and cutting himself with stones. But, so it is told, when seeing Christ approaching, the man went to him seeking help. The unclean demon immediately recognized Christ, and Christ recognized the demon. Christ, then, summoned the spirit to leave the man, and asked his name. "My name is Legion," answered the spirit, "for we are many." Once the demons left the man, Christ sent them into a nearby heard of swine who then jumped in to the sea and drown. (Mark 5:1-13) Unlike other exorcists, it is believed, that Christ did not exorcise because He did not need to call on a higher authority since He Himself was that higher authority.

Now, not only did Christ exorcize demons, or unclean spirits, but he gave the powers to his disciples. "...he gave the power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness, and all manner of disease." (Matt.10:1)

From these two Biblical passages and others Catholics and Protestants alike believe they have the power to cast out the Devils and to heal. The Catholic Church has a procedure out-lined rite of exorcism which is set forth in "The Rituale Romanum." Other than this text the ritual has great variance determined by the exorcist performing the exorcism. The code of Cannon Law allows authorized ministers (the exorcists) to perform solemn exorcisms not only over the faithful, but also over non-Catholics and those who have been excommunicated from the Church.

During the ritual usually salt, representing purity, and wine, representing the blood of Christ, is present. The victim is to hold a crucifix during the rite. The exorcist is encouraged to use holy water and relics, usually pieces of bones from Saints, and recite Biblical scriptures and other prayers.

The greatest danger to the exorcist is becoming possessed by the Devil or demon himself. This is the reason why the exorcist must feel as free of sin as possible and feel no secret need for punishment. Otherwise, the Devil or demon can easily entrap him. An example of this is Father Jean-Joseph Surin, the Jesuit exorcist of Loudun, who became possessed while ministering to Sister Jeannes des Angest. Surin was reared in a cloister, practiced severe self-denial during his early years as a priest, experienced severe muscle pains, and had virtually cut himself off from all social contact which led him to come to the Sisters' Convent in poor health and a confused state of mind. Unlike his fellow Jesuits he was thoroughly convinced Sister Jeanne and her companion Sisters were truly possessed. Author Aldous Huxley in his "The Devils of Loudun" (1952) described Surin's mental state as one of "pathological illiteracy."

This is possibly the reason that Malachi Martin, a former Jesuit professor, claimed in his book "Hostage to the Devil" (1976), that much of the success of the exorcism depends upon the exorcist. He describes the type of priest best suited to be an exorcist as being a man of good physical health, being of middle age, routinely going about his normal pastoral duties. He usually is not brilliant or engaged in teaching or research. Although, Martin adds, there are exceptions to all these characteristics.

In his book Martin also describes the setting where the exorcism takes place. It is usually in a location where there is a definite connection between the demon and the victim, like the victim's bedroom or resident.

But, again, to Martin, the most important thing is the exorcist's disposition and those of his assistants. Presently few exorcists choose to work alone. Three other people usually assist the exorcist. One is a junior priest who has been trained in exorcism procedures. He monitors the exorcism, helping the exorcist when possible not to be distracted by the possessive demon. Others can include a medical physician and a family member. The most important thing of all is that the exorcist and his assistants be physically strong and relatively guiltless. None must have any secret sins which the Devil or demon can use against them. In some incidences the Devil or demons may shout out the sins of the exorcist or his assistants attempting to shame them and ruin the exorcism.

Although all exorcisms are different in proceeding there are similar stages they follow. Martin describes these stages:

The Presence: The exorcist and his assistants become aware of an alien feeling or entity. Attempts or actions of the evil spirit appear to be the victim's. The exorcist's first job is to break this Pretense and find out whom the demon really is. Gaining the entity's name is most important.
Breakpoint: The moment when the Devil's Pretense finally collapses. This is usually a moment of complete pandemonium. There evolves a scene of panic and confusion, accompanied by a crescendo of abuse, horrible sights, noises, and odors. The Devil then turns on the victim, speaking of the person in the third person.
The Voice: Also a sign the Breakpoint, the Voice (of the demon) becomes "inordinately disturbing and humanly distressing babble." The demon's voices must be silenced for the exorcism to proceed.
The Clash: As the Voices die out there is both a spiritual and physical pressure. The demon has collided with the "will of the Kingdom." The exorcist is now in direct battle with the demon, urging the entity to reveal more information about itself so it can be controlled. As previously mentioned, there is a connection between the entity and the victim's resident. The entity wants a place to be in, or it must return to Hell. An existence out of Hell is what the Devil or demon is fighting for.
Expulsion: In the supreme triumph of God's will, the demon or spirit leaves in the name of Jesus. All present feel the Presence dissipates, occasionally with receding noises and voices. The victim may remember the ordeal or may not recall anything that has happened.

The ritual of exorcism is more cautiously employed by the Catholic Church at present than it once was. When reviewing the conditions for demonic possession that were once listed one can easily see many of the symptoms are those of epilepsy, hysteria, schizophrenia, and other psychological disorders. So priests are cautioned to be as certain as possible the person is truly demonically possessed before performing the ritual.

In some incidences this precaution may not be enough to guard an innocent person against the ritual. For example, Saint Paul exorcized a slave girl who made much money for her masters by soothsaying. (Acts 16:16-18) Today, occultists call such acts prophecy. Catholics are still forbidden to visit fortune tellers. Other religions such as Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Shinto and others have some form of exorcism rituals. One of the best known Judaic rituals, cited in Judaism rabbinical literature dating from the first century AD, concerns the dybbuk, an evil or doomed spirit which possesses a victim and causes mental illness and a personality change. The dybbuk is expelled through the victim's small toe, and then is either redeemed or sent to hell.

In many Eastern religions spirits and ghosts are blamed for many ills, and are cast out of people. However, such afflictions are not regarded as all-out battles for the persons' souls. The typical Hindu exorcism practices consist of blowing cow-dung smoke, pressing rock salt between the fingers, burning pig excreta, beating or pulling the victim's hair, reciting prayers or mantras, and offering gifts of candy and other presents to get the evil or troublesome spirits to depart from the persons.

The ritual employed in Shamanism is that the shaman enters a trace during which he attempts to discover the cause of the victim's trouble. Frequently the cause is thought linked to a dead person. The shaman then is said to travel to the lowerworld to speak with this soul. He then knows the cure of this victim's affliction, or may even bring back the soul to cure it.

All persons do not consider the purpose of the ritual of exorcism as expelling the spirit as condemning it to hell as do the Christians. Some, including occultists and Witches, do not consider the spirits demonic but at times become confuse and invade persons' bodies. The purpose of this type of exorcism is to release the spirit. Then the spirit is free to journey onto its resting place or new life. Witches frequently are asked to exorcise ghosts and other unwanted psychic energy that trouble persons.

Spirit exorcisms, as cures of physical illnesses and solutions to other personal problems are common in Africa, Latin America, the Middle East, the Orient, and among tribal cultures. A.G.H.

The Savior's lament






My God, My God, why have you forsaken me? Far from my prayer, from the words of my cry ? O my God, I cry out by day, and you answer not; by night and there is no relief for me. Yet you are enthroned in the holy place, O glory of Israel!  You are fathers trusted; they trusted, and you delivered them. To you they cried, and they escaped; in you they trusted, and they were not put to shame.

But I am a worm, not a man; the scorn of men, despised by the people. All who see me scoff at me; they mock me with parted lips, they wag their heads: "He relied on the Lord; let him deliver him, let him rescue him, if he loves him." You have been my guide since I was first formed, my security at my mother's breast. To you I was committed at birth, from my mother's womb you are my God.

Be not far from me, for I am in distress; be near, for I have no one to help me. Many bullocks surround me; the strong bulls of Basan encircle me. They open their mouths against me like ravening and roaring lions.

I am like water poured out; all my bones are racked. My heart has become like wax melting away with in my bosom. My throat is dried up like baked clay, my tongue cleaves to my jaws; to the dust of death you have brought me down.

Indeed, many dogs around me, a pack of evildoers closes in upon me; they have pierced my hands and my feet; I can count all of my bones. They look on and gloat over me; they divide my garments among them, and for my vesture they cast lots

Jasmine, The Story Of A Miracle


  AMDG, For The Honor and Glory of God. > Jasmine, the story of a miracle.

Jasmine, the story of a miracle.
 

Jasmine, the story of a miracle.

This story is true. Sometime in 1996 in August or September, I think, I received the blessing of the Blessed Virgin Mary through a friend of mine who had received it at Medjugorje Yugoslavia. By the way, I offer this story for the glory of God and of his most Blessed Mother. I used to be a handyman, and on October 26, 1996. I was asked to repair two leaking faucets under a sink in an apartment owned by my daughter. The tenants were a Mexican couple, Elizabeth and José. They had two daughters, one 3 1/2 years old, whose name was Elvira, and a little girl, 15 months old named Jasmine. I went to the apartment to repair the plumbing and found two leaking water lines that needed replacing. As I was getting ready to leave and buy new parts, I asked Elizabeth. If I could bless her and her daughters with the blessing of our Blessed mother. She said. Oh, please, I've been praying so hard for my little girl she has -- -- -- I didn't pay much attention to what she called it at the time. By the way, I had been there many times in the little girl never was playinglike other children, all she did was lie around or sit in the highchair. So I blessed them all, and went to Home Depot to buy the parts. When I returned Elvira opened the door and gave me the most beautiful smile, across from the front door. Elizabeth was sitting on the couch with Jasmine asleep on her lap. As I started for the kitchen with the parts Jasmine  suddenly jumped off her mother's lap and came toddling over to be holding up her arms for me to pick her up. I picked her up and kissed and she klissed me back. Then I set her down again, whereby she ran back to Elizabeth and climbed up in her lap. Elizabeth had the most startled look on her face and said "those are her first steps. She has never walked before, they said she would never walk." Jasmine immediately jumped off of her lap and started running all over the house picking things up and examining them. I told Elizabeth, I think we have had a miracle and we owe our lady very much gratitude Well it turned out that Jasmine had type 2 diabetes and was suffering from motor delay syndrome. She was paralyzed from the waist down and was lethargic all the time. The next morning, Elizabeth took Jasmine to the doctor who examined her and said she is completely cured of the diabetes with the caveat that diabetes often returns. Well 16 years have passed and Jasmine is a big girl now and has never had a recurrence of the diabetes. And by the way, I am no miracle worker, but I do pass the blessing of our Lady out very freely. So saying, I give you all the blessing of our most Blessed mother, amen. Al Lee.
