This warning comes from the excellent Bernalwood neighborhood blog … but as more people are parking outside, I thought it's something our neighborhood should also be aware of. I'm reblogging it here with permission from Bernalwood. (Thanks!)
Hypothetical scenario: You park your car on a Bernal Heights street with a shiny set of your house keys tucked beneath the visor or stashed in the glovebox.
Sound insane? Completely daft? Does that hypothetical scenario generate a visceral sense of foreboding and anxiety?
Good! It should! Because it's totally nuts! After all, we all know that if someone broke into your car, they would also get your house keys. And once they have your your house keys, they can also rob your house. Obviously.
Yet that's also why it's a very bad idea to leave a remote garage door opener in your parked car. Neighbor Miranda writes:
I just want to have the people of Bernal know that my home on Gates and Powhattan was almost robbed this week. The would-be thieves pried my roommates back window of his truck open and stole the garage door opener. That is…

Better yet: Clean out your garage and park inside. Our streets are getting way too cluttered for a neighborhood in which every single house has a two car garage.
Vincent permalinkMarch 29, 2013 7:22 am
This is something I've been paranoid about for some time. I also don't leave it in the car when I'm parked out on the street *anywhere*. A thief might not know my address, but might conceivably be able to look it up from my car license plate (yes, those records are supposed to be protected, but you never know).

This long-running series tails working dogs and their handlers, who are helping protect New Zealand's streets, borders, prisons and national parks. This opening episode of the second season sees dog squad member Dan "come a cropper", while chasing thieves; one prison visitor leaves with an unusual gift from inside (while other visitors are worried about their drugs from the night before); and Auckland Airport sniffer dogs snuff out some unwanted imports. Dog Squad's first two seasons were produced by Cream Media, shortly before the company was taken over by Greenstone TV.
Aroha depicts a young Māori chief's daughter who embraces the modernity of the Pākehā world (attending university in Wellington) while confronting her place with her own people (Te Arawa) and traditions at home. The NFU-produced dramatisation is didactic but largely sensitive in making Aroha's story represent contemporary Māori dilemmas (noted anthropologist Ernest Beaglehole was the cultural advisor). Watch out for some musical treats, including an instrumental version of classic Kiwi song, 'Blue Smoke' and a performance of the action song 'Me He Manu Rere'.
Nothing Trivial followed the lives and loves of five friends in their 30s and 40s, who compete in a weekly pub quiz. In this first 10 minutes of the debut episode, the Sex on a Stick team — played by Shane Cortese, Tandi Wright, Nicole Whippy, Debbie Newby-Ward and Blair Strang — gather at The Beagle to wrestle with John Wayne Bobbit trivia, and the trials of nearing middle age. The show was created by Rachel Lang and Gavin Stawhan (Go Girls). In the background piece, Lang explains how the show came to be, and argues Kiwis could give its professional actors more credit.
Nothing Trivial was a dramedy that kept score on the lives and loves of five friends in a pub quiz team called Sex on a Stick. The cast of City Lifers shifted to the suburbs and nearing middle age was led by Shane Cortese, Tandi Wright, Nicole Whippy, Debbie Newby-Ward and Blair Strang. Created by Rachel Lang and Gavin Strawhan, (the veteran writers behind Go Girls, Maddigan's Quest, and Mercy Peak) the popular South Pacific Pictures production screened for three seasons on TV ONE. A fan-driven campaign saw NZ On Air fund a tele-movie to wrap up the series.

"We've got to resolve this issue before it gets forced upon us," Greenspan said of the ballooning U.S. debt levels.
He spoke as a panel, chaired by former White House chief of staff Erskine Bowles and former U.S. Senator Alan Simpson, is due to deliver a report on debt and deficits by Dec. 1.
A draft report made public last week offered a series of politically tough tax and spending choices that would seek to reduce the debt by $4 trillion by 2020.
The suggestions received a lukewarm reception from some politicians and outright condemnation by others, including House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who pronounced the ideas "simply unacceptable."
Greenspan, who spoke on NBC's "Meet the Press," said he believed "something equivalent" to what Bowles and Simpson recommended would eventually be approved by the U.S. Congress.
"The only question is, is it before or after a bond market crisis? Because there's no alternative," he said.
He said the U.S. deficit, which hit $1.3 trillion this year, may begin to frighten the bond market, which could undermine the recovery and push the economy back into recession.
"The big, serious problem is whether or not the outlook for the longer-term deficit spooks the bond market to a point where long-term interest and mortgage rates move up very sharply," said Greenspan. "If that happens, that will cause the double dip."
Greenspan caused a stir last week when he said in a Financial Times column that Washington was pursuing a policy of weakening the dollar, prompting U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner to insist that the United States would never deliberately weaken its currency.

My ex-schoolmates from Methodist Girls School (class of 1977!) in Perak and I decided to swap our stiletto heels for trainers one fine Saturday morning. We wanted to go on a whirlwind adventure to Kinta Valley in our home state.
Armed with enthusiasm, our group of boisterous ladies gathered at the base of Gunung Panjang in Tambun to have a glimpse of one of Malaysia's national heritage sites, only a stone's throw away from Ipoh. We met up with a few archaelogists, led by Dr Goh Hsiao Mei from Universiti Sains Malaysia, who were conducting monthly workshops at Gua Tambun, a prehistoric rock art shelter.
We joined another group and together, we hiked about 1km to a prehistoric cave dwelling, and climbed up a steep concrete stairway that was about 60m, before reaching the peak. We got a beautiful view of Ipoh from there.
The archeologist enlightened us about the rock shelter and the intriguing Neolithic period hematite rock paintings which were splashed across the limestone cliff. Different types of rock art can be seen on the walls and we were told that there were more than 600 art forms at the site.
As we looked at them, we could almost hear whispers from the distant past. Our guides asked us to locate specific rock paintings and mark them on cardboards. They also gave us round molds of gypsum plaster and hematite so that we could draw our own Neolithic images; we took these drawings home as souvenirs.
After that, we took off to Gunung Rapat, a township in Ipoh, to see Tasik Cermin or Mirror Lake. To access this hidden gem, one has to trek through a quarry and look out for a manmade tunnel. This tunnel leads to an area filled with unique geological formation of limestone hills. Try to get there before noon to get a really magical view of the place. Images of limestone cliffs are beautifully reflected on the surface of the water.
We got pretty hungry after Mirror Lake. So, with bellies rumbling, we headed for the town centre of Gunung Rapat to search for heong pneah or fragrant biscuit. This delicious treat is one of the must-have items from the town. The aroma of freshly-baked flaky biscuits wafted in the air as we made our way to Yung Boon Enterprise. The company makes heong pneah, which is filled with a sticky, chewy filling of onions, sesame seeds and maltose, the traditional way so if you are interested in seeing the process, go early and simply ask the boss for a short tour.
Fresh from the broiler, just one bite of the rich caramelised onion biscuit will let you understand why Ipoh is a foodie city.
After we've had our fill, we searched for a place to relax and unwind. Kledang Saiong Forest Eco Park in Meru Raya, a township adjacent to Ipoh, was our top choice. Admission to the place is free, unless you want to check out the Nepenthes Garden (RM5); I thought it was worth a visit.
There is ample parking space and the lush forest is just adjacent to the car park. You can have a picnic, go trekking, do off-road cycling and even camp at the park, although you would need to have a permit to stay overnight.
It is also a good place to practise your macro photography as mushrooms of different sizes and vivid colours carpet the forest floor. Due to the thick canopy of the forest, birds are rarely seen but their melodious tweets can be heard.
Sah River runs through this park, too. With crystal clear water gently flowing over rocky path, shallow jacuzzi-like wading pools are formed. Young families were seen frolicking among the rocks while we had a great time soaking our tired feet.
With the night still young, a few of us decided to head for Kuan Ti Temple in Batu Gajah, about 20km south of Ipoh. An opera show was held at the Chinese temple which is more than a century old. Actors in colourful costumes and painted faces captivated the audience with their lively act.
With fluttering sleeves, high pitched vocals and creative body language, the dramatic opera artists managed to breathe life into a language that we did not fully understand but still appreciated.
Looks like after four decades leaving school, we aunties still know how to enjoy life and love each other's company.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the legal limit of sulfite residue?
This is a broad question but focussing on the legislation in effect within the EU (Referred to as Harmonised Legislation, meaning all EU and EEC members use the same rule set) and only looking at table grapes, blueberries and litchis; MRLs (Maximum residue levels) are set at 10ppm (parts per million), meaning more than 10 ppm detected on fruit within a commercial channel (Earmarked for fresh consumption as the next phase) is more than the allowed level, thus illegal. Less than 10ppm is allowable.
Can Uvasys be cut with scissors?
All of our sheets can safely be cut with sharp scissors or knives.
Because none of our products contain sachets or granules in lose form there are no contamination risk. The only downside to this is that the surface area being treated, which the sheets was designed for, will be affected and the control might not be as desired.
Can the sheet be used upside down?
In the past we have seen producers turning the sheet upside down. Although this is not the recommended use the activation of the sheet will not be affected and the gas response will be similar, although retarded.
What is the level Uvasys sheets dose SO2 at?
Depending on the product the levels of dosing varies over time and per phase but with the most widely used product, Uvasys Green, there are 2 phases of SO2 release (dual release). The first is a high level of SO2 release within a short period of time – 180ppm over 48 hrs. This kills off active botrytis growths within the confined environment. The second release curve is a slow, trickling, release of SO2 of about 5ppm for up to 120days. This stops latent botrytis growth from developing.
How quickly does SO2 break down in the fruit?
This is a difficult question to pinpoint exactly as there are multiple factors affecting the breakdown curve of SO2 but the below should bring clarity as an answer:
SO2 sulphites (the chemical which presents as the allergen metabolise inside grape berries to form sulfates (salts which is non allergic). The rate at which this happens is incredibly fast (+/- 4 Hrs) and the detail to this study can be found in the following paper:
Metabolic responses to sulfur dioxide in grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.): photosynthetic tissues and berries
Michael J. Considine1,2,3 and Christine H. Foyer1,2,*
…The authors found c. 75% of the absorbed sulfites were rapidly oxidized to sulfate with a half-life of 4 h, with most of the remainder oxidizing with a half-life of 20 h…
How do you test for SO2 residues and what does this test look like?
The most common method of testing is the Optimized Monier-Williams method. Most laboratories that offer MRL testing should be able to provide this test as well.
Where in the sheet is the SO2?
Our products does not actually contain SO2 or Sulphur as a raw ingredient. SO2 is generated by means of an autocatalytic chemical reaction between water (H2O) and Sodium Metabisulphate. Please look at the Products page in conjucntion with the Research pages.
Can I use Litchisys on Grapes if I don't have Uvasys in stock?
This is not recommended. The reason being that Litchisys and Uvasys have different formulations of Sodium Metabisulphite and other components which regulates the release curves. The biggest of these are temperature mapped curves. Because the reaction to produce SO2 is autocatalytic the release curves change when the temperature changes. Different products are not usually stored and transported at the same temperatures and because of this using sheets not designated for the intended produce will not only put you and your product at risk, but also void any warranty we provide.
What is bleaching?
Bleaching occurs when SO2 bonds with water. This is usually on the surface of the produce where condensation formed droplets. When enough SO2 dissolved into these droplets they become acidic, forming a mild sulphuric accid. This in turn then bleaches the affected area and the colour is removed, just like household bleach when spilled onto your favourite jeans.
Is it safe to eat bleached product?
Completely! It just might not taste as expected.
If the release of SO2 is affected by temperature, what happens when there is a mechanical problem with my container?
For each 5 Degree celsius rise in temperature, the SO2 release will double. Usually this will happen during the second phase of the release curve and the effects will be minimal. However, if the temperature during transit jumps dramatically and for a extended period of time, effects will be noticeable. Mostly you will find bleaching and a slight reduction in the window of release. This is very difficult to quantify, and each case should be individually inspected.
I found some old sheets from a few years ago. Are they still good to use or should I throw it away?
Our sheets are VERY durable if stored correctly. Some have been forgotten about and upon testing a decade old product, still worked. The first thing to do is make sure the storage bag is still sealed and intact. If the seal has not been broken, then this is the first bit of good news. Next, find the batch number and forward this to us stating the conditions of storage and integrity of the bags. If needed, we could run tests on our retention samples to simulate expected outcomes.

We've finally reached Oct. 21, 2015, guys (the date in the future that Doc Brown and Marty McFly visit in Back to the Future: Part II), and you know what that means: We're supposed to be dropping the kids off at daycare in our flying cars before coasting into the office on our super-chic hoverboards and we're definitely not supposed to be worrying about tying our shoelaces (because they tie themselves) – at least according to Robert Zemeckis.
In the 1989 cult classic, Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) and Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd) travel through time from 1985 to 2015, and audiences have been looking forward to the technological advances portrayed in the fictional 2015 ever since. Because Hollywood is always right about everything, obviously.
So, what exactly did Back to the Future: Part II get right (and wrong) about the world we live in? Let's take a look:
Wrong: A floating skateboard is not a viable form of transportation…yet
This one hurts. It hurts a lot, okay? If we had to give up all the other things the movie got right so that hoverboards could be a thing, we'd do it in a heartbeat. Just look at how easily people were duped into believing this fake hoverboard ad (which Funny or Die later admitted to creating.) But, alas, it wasn't meant to be. There is a small sliver of hope though: A Canadian engineer has built his own version and is currently testing it out!
With some help from Tony Hawk, a company called Hendo Hover is also currently making their very own version of the hoverboard. Keep your fingers crossed, people.
Right: Video chat is totally a thing
In the movie, we catch a middle-aged Marty communicating with his not-so-good pal Needles through a "video telephone," which is pretty much the Hill Valley equivalent of FaceTime, Skype, Google Hangouts or any other of a number of our various video-calling apps. Score one point for the McFlys, folks.
Wrong: We're still tripping over our untied shoelaces
Marty's Nike "power lace" shoes are cool and all, but it doesn't look like self-tying sneaks are a thing for us regular folk. Back in 2011, Nike promised to release their Back to the Future shoe called the Nike Air MAG this year and on Oct. 21, they shipped their first pair to Marty (Michael J. Fox) himself. Nike says us regular folk will have to wait until 2016 to bid on a few more pairs. All proceeds will go towards the Michael J. Fox Foundation.
Right: 3-D movies and holograms do scare the heck out of us
Remember when Marty first stepped into 2015 and thought a great white shark was about to eat him? We sported that same look of terror when Michael Jackson's hologram performed at the Billboard Music Awards. Yikes. We're sure 3-D movies and holograms of dead artists will continue to be a thing this year. Thanks for the warning, Marty.
Right: Watching six TV channels at the same time is way cool
Back to the Future: Part II showcased massive, flat-screen TVs displaying multiple channels at the same time. Let's keep in mind that back in 1989, people were watching TV on boxy, square tube screens (sometimes with rabbit ears on top). So glad we've moved on from that. We're great multi-taskers, so the fact that we can now watch six channels all at once is a win in our books.
Wrong: Cars just aren't flying around in the air
It doesn't look like you'll be flying to grandma's in your Dodge Caravan anytime soon. This is another big prediction fail that's sure to disappoint basically everyone on the planet. Although, at least we don't have to worry about the thousands of in-air car crashes that would occur on a daily basis.
Right: Video glasses are here, and they're still funny-looking
Ah, there's Marty Junior and his sister, Marlene, enjoying dinner while wearing their "electronic video glasses." They can watch two shows at once and make video calls with these bad-ass specs. It's a good thing we have Google around, because they're the ones who made these awesome (though awkward) devices i.e. Google Glass a reality. We also have the way cooler Oculus rift, that allows you to step into a virtual reality. Goodbye boring kitchen, hello Yankee stadium. If Junior and his sis got their hands on these products, they'd feel right at home. We're sure about that.
What's your favourite Back to the Future: Part II 2015 prediction? Let us know in the comments below.

My goodness, it's been a while since I've posted here – a few months, in fact.
To be honest, it's tough finding inspiration to focus on the Homestead when we're in such upheaval. With a new baby on the way, we're in crunch time trying to find a new place to live. While our current rental is doable with a little creativity, we know we can find a far better setup to grow our family.
Eventually, we'll find our new home, but until we do, we'll have to treat our cabin fever in other ways.
Each winter I reluctantly leave the garden and head indoors, focusing on crochet projects, canning, and other creations. A few years ago I acquired a collapsible proofing box for my breads, and it also doubles as a yogurt maker! I've never been one to eat yogurt on a regular basis until I started making it – now I cook up a gallon a month, and between me and my daughter we regularly go through a quart a week.
I'm honesty surprised with how delicious – and easy – it is! I always make it plain and simply mix in my flavors or fruits depending on my mood. Lately, it's been a bit of local honey and some blueberries.
But making yogurt can only cure the cabin fever for so long, and this year it's been pretty difficult to fight back.
So, I also began a small indoor garden! It isn't much since our space is limited, but it helps. If anything, seeing a bit of fresh green popping out of a tray of soil each day certainly keeps away the winter blues.
And now, we're finally starting our seeds for the spring garden. This year I wanted to try a plastic-free seed start, so I collected leftover toilet paper rolls and lined an old baking tray with newspaper. The TP rolls sit on top of the newspaper and, filled with last year's reclaimed soil, our seeds are taking root.
This year's lineup includes:
Broccoli rabe
Black Krim tomatoes
Brandywine Pink tomatoes
Pineapple tomatillos
I can't wait for everything to finally sprout! I'm hopeful for a successful gardening year, even with our life changes. Luckily everything will generally stay on autopilot now that I have a better system in place.
So, stick around! We'll have so much happening this year, and I'm so excited to show you.
Happy Homesteading!

Earth: The Planet–God's Final Headquarters
The Books of Daniel, Ezekiel, Revelation, and others make it very clear that not only will The LORD Jesus Christ rule the world on earth as we now know it, but that God, The Father, will also make this planet as the headquarters for His rule over the entire universe.
Scripture explains that God, The Father, will come to earth twice in the last days of mankind's time on this planet as we now know it. First, He will come in Person to Earth to assist in the battle when The LORD Jesus returns to earth, with all His saints and all the angels, to battle Satan and expel him, his evil angels, his demons and wicked men from the Earth.
When this battle is over, God, The Father, will return to the present heaven as His Son ushers in His Millennial Reign to rule for the next 1,000 years. During these ten centuries, The LORD Jesus, along with fellow servants of The Most High God—i.e. the born again and redeemed saints who believed in The LORD Jesus and fought to take the Gospel of His salvation to all nations of the world–will cleans all evil, sin and disobedience out of all the nations, tribes and kingdoms of the earth.
Second, God the Father will return to planet earth at the end of this Millennial Reign for two purposes: On this last trip, his first act will be to Judge all members of Satan and his satanic armies, and to commit them to their places in eternal hell (to be determined by the depths of their sins); and to judge all wicked men and women who followed these evil doers over eons of years. As the Scriptures make plain:
"And I saw a great white throne, and Him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
"And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is The Book of Life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
"And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
"And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in The Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire. (Revelation 20: 11 -15)"
And The Father's second purposes will be to move all of His headquarters in the present Third Heaven–including His throne and the mechanisms of the stars and planets in His universe–down to Earth, where He will set up His headquarters to rule and reign for all ages to come. Again, wholesale Christian Bibles makes this very clear:
"And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
"And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
"And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself shall be with them, and be their God.
"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
"And He that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And He said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
"And He said unto me, It is done. I Am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
"He that over-cometh shall inherit all things; and I will be His God, and he shall be my son (Revelation 21: 1 – 7)."
Precisely, this blog is for those who are fighting, who are doing everything they can to resist Satan, and his evil demons, with their tempting sins and everything they constantly do against every believer who is trying to bring the salvation of The LORD Jesus Christ to all men.
It is to bring to true Christians the message of Hope, that the battle is nearer to being over than any of us can imagine. Keep fighting. Keep overcoming.
Renew your strength through prayer and fasting, staying constantly in His Holy Word, always looking to Your Father on the sides of The North (Psalms 48: 2). For He sees you and He is indeed coming soon for you, and for your fellow believers too!
Wickedness & Deception Dwell in High Places
The following is a personal testimony from family history. Specific cities, church denominations, and the culprit will not be named. The first two are well known and surely the third has very wealthy living descendants.
My mother was the oldest of 13 children. Some must have died along the way, because my cousins and I only know of five remaining ones: my mother—who had only one child, me; Uncle Carl, who had three children, two boys and a girl; Uncle Robert with three children, two girls and a boy; Uncle Clarence, who married late in life with no children; and my Aunt Dorothy, who never married and had no children.
Their mother was a beautiful but quite innocent young school teacher who had just graduated from teachers' college and was in her first year of teaching, when a young immigrant farmer from England fell in love with and married her. They lived in a very rural farming area and constant work did not allow much time for school, and, of course my grandmother used most of her energy rearing and having babies. The only rare visitor the family had was a traveling Bible teacher who tried to teach the children the Bible and tell them about The LORD Jesus. Thank God for her!
When my grandfather, her husband, died, the man who was apparently a very shrewd and wealthy farmer, left his wife 13 or so farms, which were rented out to farming tenants. This allowed my grandmother to move to a large city where she rented a second floor, three-bedroom apartment. By then, my mother had also moved to a big city; her brothers Carl and Robert had done the same. They all married and had children.
But they soon learned that my grandmother had joined a church which was part of a large, well-known denomination. Over the years, my father died of TB, and my mother, closed their Room-Rental agency, and moved to the city where my grandmother lived. There my mother rented two bedrooms in my grandmother's apartment. In my early years of elementary school, I remember never seeing or even meeting her good church friends; but I do remember hearing a car horn blowing, and my grandmother rushing down the hall in a long black dress with a white flowing collar climbing down the stairwell to greet the lady who picked her up every Sunday for church.
We lived just across the bridge from my Uncle Robert. I remember in the summer time my cousins and I would play in the mud four stories down behind his flat which was built slanted on a very high hill. During deep snows in the winter, dressed in mismatched jackets and mittens, we would drag cardboard sleds up high hills and go sliding down. It was so much fun. All that stopped when Uncle Robert was slaughtered during an 'accident' at the steel mill. Owners gave his wife a few bucks to help with funeral arrangements.
But why were my grandmother's children and grandchildren living in such pathetic conditions? What happened to the farms. As we grew up, my cousins and I would hear rumors that all the farms were gone. I know my Uncle Carl, taking off from his taxi job where he worked 12 to 18 hours a day, would go to see his mother to find out what happened. But he always returned with no news. My grandmother would tell my mother absolutely nothing. Eventually my grandmother died.
Years later, when I was grown, my mother admitted that after her mother's funeral, she saw that this "well-known" church lady—who must have been in her 70 or even 80 years of life herself—had climbed into my grandmother's casket and was performing oral sex on my grandmother's dead body. Obviously, they were more than just casual "church" friends. Remember, that my grandmother was an innocent young widow, who had known nothing but having babies all her adult life. What little she had been taught about Christianity, probably meant to her that she should join a church.
As for the farms, we all found out that this 'having sex with the dead' church woman now owned all those farms. Over the years, she had taken all our heritage. They were stealthily slipped away under the guise of false religion. As cities had begun taking farm lands for decades, those farms are now probably worth millions. We know that this church lady had a son, and as my cousins and I are grown and have children and grandchildren of our own, we know that she, her son and now his children probably are living like kings on my family's wealth.
Although I am nearly 80 myself, that well-known church lady in that very large well-known denomination may still be alive because the devil usually allows those who serve him to live long after their time, before he takes them down to hell to live with him for all eternity.
What's the point? Know God very well for yourself. Read His Word constantly. Walk in His Word and obey it. Please do not base your faith on a church or a denomination—no matter how Christian it seems. Rather, base your faith in The LORD Jesus Christ Who shed His blood on the Cross to pay for all our sins. He loves you. He gave His life for you so that you could live for all eternity with Him. No other human being ever would or could do that. Remember, Satan's workers are everywhere—even sitting in some church pews—always looking for innocent sheep they can fleece.
Remember also what The LORD Jesus teaches in your wholesale Christian Bible: "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly (John 10:10)". Also do not let anyone separate you from your family. Pray always for family members whether they are Christians or not. As Apostle Paul explains: "Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple (Romans 16: 17-18)." Amen and Amen.
Return of World That Then Was
No thoughtful Christian can dismiss realities of dinosaurs roaming the earth in the far distant past. Some museums have full depictions of such prehistoric creatures—and not just giant animals, but also giant people. One historic site in San Diego, California has a mummy female, some 10 feet tall. Yes, such depictions of sub-human giants are eons before the days of Joshua, Caleb, King David and his mighty warriors seen in today's Old Testament.
The Bible clearly labels those earliest years as "the world that then was (2 Peter 3: 6)." Here Apostle Peter refers to destruction of the world's first societal system which God destroyed in Genesis 1: 2. In verse one, God created a perfectly beautiful heaven and earth. But in verse 2, because of the deadliest possible sins, Almighty God completely destroyed that societal system, killing all animal and human life on earth and burying everything it completely in the deepest possible waters: "And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep." The Bible depicts such utter darkness as absolute Hell.
Such complete destruction of that first world occurred for several reasons: 1) Satan, whom God had dressed in unimaginable jewels of beauty as he displayed apparently unlimited power, was to have instructed the human and animal kingdoms about God, and His will for their lives, according to The Creator's Holy Word. However, within a short time Satan decided that people and animal creatures needed to know more about him and his fallen angels, rather than knowing about The True and Living God.
2) Just as he does in this present societal system, the devil used the highest possible spiritually illegal sexual acts: Those between people—particularly women–and fallen angels; between humans of the same gender, intermingling between variant types of animal creatures, and between animals and humans—always experimenting on how deeply he could force others to comply with his grossly sinful schemes. Just as later shown in the Old Testament, angels and women produced giant semi-human creatures. Experiments he fostered were always to produce creatures of murder, death and earthly destruction.
3) Thus, the "world that then was" produced sub-creations of mixed species in the animal kingdom—with the same result as among sub-human beings. Satan's ultimate goal is always to ruin and destroy what God created for man to rule over as kings, rulers, sons and daughters in His image and likeness. In their animal and sub-human beings—because they could not create new life—Satan's 'scientists' constantly experimented in order to produce types of beings into new 'twisted' forms of 'life'.
4) Because Satan's aim is always to influence people to worship substitute human, idol, and spiritual beings for The True God, in 'the world that then was,' these sub-specie creatures became physical objects of spiritual worship always pointing toward Satan and his fallen angels as gods and God. Such depictions of sub-specie creatures are often seen today by under water scientists and anthropologists studying temples and art 'worship' forms where weird under-water creatures intended for religious worship are encountered throughout parts of earth stored deeply under seas and ocean waters.
The Book of Revelation in wholesale Christian Bibles makes clear that weird, sometimes humanoid animal creatures will march out of hell to attack mankind during the soon-to-come end of days on earth:
"And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads (9: 1 – 4)."
"And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men. And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions. And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle. And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months (9: 7 – 10)."
Obviously, it is time for those who confess The LORD Jesus Christ as Savior and LORD to cease all acts which Almighty God will judge as illicit, immoral and forbidden. Until The LORD Jesus returns in the clouds to draw all true Christians into the heavens to live with Him throughout all eternity—Christians must wholeheartedly repent of wrongful deeds, words and thoughts. The world and those around the believer may not consider such acts to be wrong and sinful. But they are not the Christian's judge: Almighty God is! And those who confess His Name had best repent, confess sin, start living like true Christians!
One footnote: In this modern age, such experimenting between species to produce 'unnatural animal-type sub-human creatures' is generally prohibited. However, modern man has found another substitute for such forbidden re-creation of life forms: robots and the "new science" of robotics. Even now some people talk about being in love with or 'marrying' a robot. Hmm. Well at least they may still be on earth when these strange looking, sub-human stinging locust-type creatures arrive!
Why No More Seas? Absolute Final Judgments
If true Christians are to understand End-time judgments, believers must understand that—unless each sin is atoned for, according to Old Testament rules, or confessed, repented of, and placed under the blood of The LORD Jesus Christ, and washed away forever as offered in The New Testament—God The Father, never, ever forgets each and every sin, and, in the final days of Judgment, He will make each and every sinner pay for what he or she has done. (This is why confession, repentance and restoration are essential Christian acts).
In Revelation 21: 1, Apostle John writes: "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea." Beforehand, when the Apostle saw The LORD Jesus proclaiming end times, John explains: "And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven, And sware by him that liveth forever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer (Revelation 10: 5 – 6)." Furthermore in verse 8, the judgment locations are turned around and sea is placed before earth: "And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth."
So why—as He prepares to return to earth—does The LORD Jesus keep stressing "seas" as in oceans and sea waters? Just what is under the seas? Well Genesis 1: 1 – 2 explains: "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters." In verse 1, the earth was perfect. But in verse 2, the sins of Satan, his angels, men and other beings on earth brought God's judgment. Those judged beings were placed under water—i.e. seas and oceans.
In the wholesale Christian Bible,Apostle Peter explains those days as "the world that then was": "For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished (2 Peter 3: 5 – 6)."
Every being on earth at that time was destroyed and placed under water—i.e. under seas and oceans.
No, this was not Noah's flood. The prophet Jeremiah was allowed to see back in time: "I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly. I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled. I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by his fierce anger. For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end (Jeremiah 4: 24 – 27)." In Noah's flood 8 men and women survived. In the one Jeremiah saw in his God-inspired vision: " . . . there was no man." In Noah's flood, birds directed the ark as to where to go. In this flood, all the birds of the heavens were destroyed.
But the evil angels did not give up on their assault to make men and women sin. In Genesis 6, Satan and his angels again brought human beings to the point of unforgivable sins—i.e. again creating giants by angels impregnating women, and building tall buildings to enable people to communicate with devils and fallen angels up in the first and second heavens of air and space–so much so that God repented that He had ever made human beings: "And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart (Genesis 6: 5 – 6)."
Christians must understand that God usually works in series of threes. Thus, as He prepares to return to earth, The LORD Jesus proclaims judgment upon the sins of the earth and of the seas. This is why Apostle John was so sickened when he understood the meaning of The Book The LORD Jesus held as He had one foot on dry land and the other on the sea: "And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.
"And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey. And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter (Revelation 10: 8 – 10)."
Yes, for those who do not comprehend God's awesome judgments, sins by word or deed come so easily. Those living on earth today—whether professing Christians or not—have so little time left for full and sincere repentance. God is both Infinite and Eternal. Yes, He is The God of Love—i.e. John 3: 16: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." But He is also The God of Judgment. There are no perfect human beings. The only way to escape that judgment, is to be "in Christ," to accept The LORD Jesus as Savior and to abide by His rules in His Word.
Compelled to Teach Reality and Nearness of Hell!
There is something I must confess: I am a Watchman—no I am not a member of any off-shoot semi-Christian organization. In God's Word, that term means a person to whom God assigns certain duties. When one becomes a Christian, he or she not only becomes a son or daughter of God, that person also becomes a servant for God. Too many Christians today just want to be God's children believing that as youngsters they can still "sneak" off and do what they want to do, even if it against His will and His Word. These 'baby' Christians would never want to be called servants, or worse to them, even less so "watchmen."
In the Book of Revelation, Apostle John writes that God gave the Revelation to The LORD Jesus Christ so that He could show His servants "things which must shortly come to pass." The LORD Jesus gave God's message to His angel who in turn gave The Revelation "unto His servant John." Known as Saint John, The Divine, Apostle John wrote five books of the New Testament, which is the number of books, exceeded only by those Apostle Paul wrote. Yet in The Revelation alone, John calls himself God's servant some 14 times.
A watchman is a servant, one who is given certain areas to watch over and/or to warn people who may be straying from the path God ordained for them. For instance consider what God told His prophet Ezekiel: "Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me. When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul."
Several weeks ago, Our Father gave me an assignment to write in blogs and books about three things: Heaven, Hell and Earth. His orders came for several reasons: 1) Because some claiming to be Christians mistakenly assume they are going to Heaven, but if they don't soon repent, they are going to Hell; 2) Because too many people—both saved and unsaved—do not know very much about Hell; and 3) Because in the next few years such horrific things—i.e. more and worse wars, earthquakes, floods, fires, diseases, etc.–will increasingly happen on Earth as the end of time on this planet—as we know it—is absolutely almost over.
Note that God told Ezekiel that if the prophet did not warn the wicked, that prophet would lose his own soul. Sorry folks, as much as my 'natural self' finds it unpleasant to write about such unpleasantness as Hell all the time, that 'natural self' must be crucified. It is not worth my going to that wretched dark and fire-filled place because I refuse to obey what God has commanded me to do. Yes, I am His child, and I have been so for over 50 years, but age is no excuse for not obeying His will. In fact, the more that one knows, the more obedience is required of that Christian. Note that the great prophet Ezekiel is warned that he either does what God commands or he too can slip into hell!
But you wish to reply the Bible says "God is Love," surely He will not send His own beloved children to that endlessly horrible place. Look! We are living in the End Times! With some seven or eight billion people on earth who have never heard the Gospel or accepted Christ as Savior, Our Father must press those few of His children who still listen to Him into service. Another verse comes to mind: "For many are called, but few are chosen (Matthew 22: 14)." It could easily be translated: "For many are called, but few obey." Apostle Peter stresses, "Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons." Once saved but unrepentant people–kings (i.e. Solomon), prophets (i.e. Jonah), apostles and preachers, (i.e. Judas and Demas)–are in Hell today because they refused to obey God's Word and to follow His will.
And please don't think you can avoid Hell's judgment just because you go to church. Those unrepentant characters went to church as well. They simply thought they had the freedom and right to do and say what they wanted to say, and still avoid God's judgment! Just going to church is not enough. Today, God needs Christian soldiers, servants and watchmen who He can depend upon to obey when He calls. He needs us to get closer to Him, and to be more willing than ever to serve Him in every way that we can.
Open your wholesale Christian Bible and consider one more verse: "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting (Galatians 6: 7 – 8)." Hell is the constant painful corruption of the mind, spiritual body, and emotions, while Life Everlasting is living with and obeying God, His Son and His Holy Spirit while reaping and 'owning' untold enjoyment of worlds, planets, and all kinds of riches and blessings now and forever!
May Not Be Enough Time to Repent
Those believing they will have amble time to repent when the death door beckons, make dangerous mistakes that may have eternal consequences. Of the list of some 50 end-of-time disruptions in nature included in God's Holy Word, dozens of these rather instantaneous calamities may not allow the minutes, hours or days necessary for a repentant prayer allowing one to return to God.
Also, those believing that they skate on the edge of God's grace, may not be aware that they have crossed over the invisible line of secure salvation. Certainly people in Biblical history assumed they would have time to repent before death: 1) Such as Kings of Israel Saul, Solomon and numerous other leaders who haughtily thought their thrones guaranteed them rights to worship idols at lecherous parties if they went to the temple on Sabbath; 2) Arrogantly disobedient prophet Jonah who assumed even after being saved from death and hell that he could still claim the right to disagree with God; and 3) Church liars Ananias and Sapphira assumed that if they were caught there would always be time to admit their sins, feign repentance and half-way come back to God, but meeting death on the altar, they never had a chance for such repentance.
Those who claim to be backsliding Christians should remember that without being "in Christ," that is living for Him and in obedience to His callings, living absolutely under the protection of The Most High God and His Son Jesus Christ, no one has the guarantee of everlasting life with Them at the time of death. In view of the recent earthquakes, hurricanes, floods and state-wide forest fires in this country and around the world, Christians must understand that the Bible speaks of great (i.e. massive) earthquakes (Revelation6: 12; 8: 5; 11: 13 – 19, 16: 18); instant sinkholes (Numbers 16: 1 – 33); lightening (Psalms 144: 5 – 6; Matthew 24: 27 – 28; Luke 17); Hail storms (Joshua 10: 8; Exodus 9: 18 – 10: 1), etc.
In coming weeks we shall write about these and many others types of instant deaths caused by the Fourth Apocalypse Horse in these last days carrying the formal name of Death in Revelation Chapter 6, but for now let us just consider one: Lightening! One of Wikileak's Epidemiologies records: "One estimate is that 24,000 people are killed by lightning strikes around the world each year and about 240,000 are injured. Another estimate is that the annual global death toll is 6,000. According to the NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) over the last 20 years, the United States averaged 51 annual lightning strike fatalities, placing it in the second position, just behind floods for deadly weather. In the US, between 9% and 10% of those struck die, for an average of 40 to 50 deaths per year . . ."
Beloved, it is not worth the risk. It is foolish to keep walking away from God because one is afraid to face Him. Better to face Him now, fall upon His mercy, and take whatever punishment He may give. Remember, the closer one gets to The Father, the belt cannot reach the backside as well. Remember, Hell, like Heaven, is Forever! Every Christian—especially those in leadership who believe that they have somehow "earned" the right to be saved—must now humble themselves before God and beg forgiveness for their own sins, as well as that of their families and their nation. In fact, in these last days, Christians should stay in close reading of their wholesale Christian Bibles, and always walk in a constant state of humble love and repentance!
Do Not Let Your Culture Define Your Christianity
In some American churches, families who attend regularly include several generations of members who have watched and heard not just sermons and hymns from pulpit and choir lofts, but the common particular words and deeds of deacons, singers, ushers and church members who carry on as they are the worse of sinners, living seven days a week as if they had never heard, or sometimes in their lives had believed, sacred words of Jesus. In fact, most of the time, they live and speak words of filth as if they are common unsaved sinners who had never heard God's Word, or who may have experienced God's salvation.
Sexual relationships with church members outside of marriage is and was common for such 'church' members, even the fathering of children in families other than their own is often ordinary practice, becoming repeated behavior down through the generations. Otherwise, well-known verses from the pulpit (i.e. John 3: 16), and flowing songs from choirs may have changed a bit. The choir lofts and pulpit chairs may be larger, and 'sacred' buildings newer, but in too many churches the above practices have not changed.
For one thing, most of the time, such church members have seldom heard the complete Gospel—including that of God's judgment against sin and sinners which encompasses two-thirds of The Bible, His Holy Word of Sure Promises. For another thing, these types of sinful church members have no recognition that what they practice is nothing but centuries-old satanic paganism. In fact, some members of similar pretend churches may attend satanic worship services in woods and basements Friday or Saturday nights, and then go to church on Sundays, just to keep up appearances of being good—instead of very evil–people. Such profane pretence to honor God on Sunday (or Saturday) is nothing but the worship of Satan, whose chief representative in such a church is usually the pastor himself.
As Apostle Peter writes in wholesale Christian Bibles: "But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of (2 Peter 2: 1 – 2)."
Are you a true Christian who knows that some of the church members around you do such things—even including homosexual practices—but you stay, because you long for church and "Christian" fellowship? You need to get out! You must run away from such pretend Christianity! Do not stay in such a church because it seems to fit your culture or generations of your family's church membership. Their behavior can rub off on you. Just as Lot and his family found before the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah—these deceptive people can marry into your family and you may never know it until God reveals such evil.
Their practice mimics the way that Satan overturned "the world that then was (2 Peter 3: 6)" in the first judgment between Genesis 1: 1 – 2. Don't understand? But do you want to find out? Good! Then get into your King James Bible (preferably a Dake Study Bible) and seek fellowship with Your Savior, The Lord Jesus Christ. Not one of those phony pretend Christians—or any other human being–can save you. Only God The Father, His Precious Son Jesus, and The Blessed Holy Spirit can do that! Learn to have fellowship with them!
Is America Asleep, Ignorant, or Just Surrendering?
North Korea has more than proven it is capable of disrupting indefinitely computer dependent electrical grids in the United States, possibly with assistance from China's nuclear-laden satellite systems, and also with endless funding from Iran's recent billions in wealth provided by strangely patriotic ex-President and Secretary of State. On the other hand, Alex Lockie of UK Business Insider, writes that "A US attack on North Korea would be catastrophic — but the US might still do it." Now wouldn't that stir up even more foreboding problems?
And while they are as yet not capable of shutting down American society in one fell-swoop, ISIS fighters currently imbedded in the United States can certainly attack major urban, transportation, entertainment, shopping and sports venues—all of which may have weak or inept security protection for vulnerable U.S. citizens. Meanwhile, as if they care more about pleasing their brand of politicians than seeking protections for American citizens, some federal judges refuse to allow stronger airport border protections to keep terrorists from suspected countries out of this country. These permitted weaknesses continue as the nation sees continuous types of ongoing destruction in Europe which has been infested by certain immigrants who show dedication to the utter destruction of their new homes.
So what is being done about these 'clear and present dangers' to the United States? Nor much, or at least, not enough! One may ask why? Well, the answers are many: 1) Just as Nero fiddled while Rome burned, too many Americans so deeply relish entertainment: sports, novels, movies, TV shows, etc. that they seem unaware of other realities; 2) As they also ignore dangers facing the nation, some politicians would rather viciously fight their opposing party, than to fight the nation's true destroyers standing just off-shore; 3) But most dangerous is the absence of American Christians who no longer even schedule mid-week prayer meetings, because a) Too many "Christian" men are more devoted to sports, gambling and/or sexual 'games' than seeking God's protection for their families and their nation; b) Too many "Christian" women are more concerned with fashion news, cooking shows, beauty trends, side-line 'boy friends,' Face-book gossip, on-line and on-TV sex, murder and horror shows—even those shows most attractive to their children; and c) Instead of Prayer and Worship services, most 21st Century U.S. pastors offer entertainment venues,not only from choirs, musicians and 'devotional' dancers, but also from their pulpits.
At this year's beginning, several prophets said that 2017 would be a year of prosperity for American citizens. The stock market certainly forecasts the same. But other national and international events warn of wars—nuclear, EMP, computer thefts, terrorist attacks, etc.–against this nation. Certainly, natural phenomena—floods, fires, unimaginable vehicle accidents, gun fighters vs. law enforcement, eerie storms, etc. bode of God's judgments upon U.S. shores.
Certainly, wholesale Christian Bibles sternly warn that in the midst of prosperity, blessed Judeo-Christian nations could blithely forget Almighty God, Who is the source of such material blessings: "Beware that thou forget not The LORD Thy God, in not keeping His commandments, and His judgments, and His statues, which I command thee this day; Lest when thou hast eaten and art full,, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein . . . Then thine heart be lifted up and thou forget The LORD Thy God . . . And thou say in thine heart, "My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth . . . .
"And it shall be, if thou do at all forget The LORD Thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish (Deuteronomy 8: 10 – 20)." America certainly indicates that she has already forgotten Who prospered her these past three centuries. Unless her sinful memory is healed, and her Christian citizens thoroughly repent, indeed judgment can come in the midst of such weak, even deadly, prosperity!
A.W.O.L. Christians: Time to Report for Duty
Serving in an Army takes training, hard work and discipline—often under harsh and dangerous circumstances. Sure, there are 'leave' times–such as when a sailor gets to walk off his ship or submarine for shore leave–but these 'vacations' are for very limited and specified times. However, just as in any regular military service, or police forces, leaves and vacations can be cancelled. Ephesians 6, Revelation 19, and many other Scriptures, point out that true Christians are in God's Army. Thus, God's people must always be ready to stop being A.W.O.L.—Absent Without Leave–and report for duty.
This blog site is labeled 'Worlds Collide.' Those worlds are of both material and spiritual natures. And certainly, they are in many ways unequal. For instance, consider angels. Unlike people, they never need to sleep or rest. And they are always on duty. This identity is the same for God's good angels and Satan's evil angels. While it is true that two thirds of these angelic hosts remained true to God, and that only one third of them revolted with Satan, these evil ones have their attendant demons—probably disembodied souls who served Satan during earth's first destruction between Genesis 1: 1 and 1: 2—who are enslaved to serve them at all times. God's angels have no such helpers—unless, of course they would include those believers who are always in line with God's will.
What's the point? Too many born-again Christians—instead of being attuned to God's Word and His Will—are A.W.O.L. While the Wars between Good and Evil swirl around them, too often they lose the battle for themselves and for The LORD Jesus. Moreover, Satan, his angels and demons could be stealing everything that these believers think they own.
God's angels are particularly stirred up when His people start consistently and earnestly praying as often as possible. In the same way, those who serve Satan as their god stir up evil angels to do evil things to God's people when they pray to him and his devils. To prove their devotion to Satan, those who serve him often walk through fire with him. They 'worship' him, either weekly or on special pagan holidays for special "moons" or other signs. Often, they show devotion to Satan when they attend midnight services in basements several levels below ground, or during outdoor orgies in well-hidden woods close by dead water pools so they can wash away the blood of their animal and human sacrifices they have made.
To combat such foolishness, as He promised in His Holy Word, God has made special promises to true believers. If we want to find out what these promises are, or how to bring them to pass, we must get off our A.W.O.L. keisters and get back into the war of resisting Satan—for instance—in the same way that the prophet Daniel did. Believers who serve God and His Son Jesus stir up good angels when they fast, pray, confess their sins as well as the sins of others, and worship God with all their might. You see, Daniel had read in The Holy Word that God had promised to free Judah (or the remaining part of Israel) from slavery after 70 years, and this was a promise that Daniel wanted to bring to pass! Thus, he prayed:
"I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem. And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes: And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments; (9: 1 – 5).
"We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments: Neither have we hearkened unto thy servants the prophets, which spake in thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land. O Lord, righteousness belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusion of faces, as at this day . . . .
"O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do; defer not, for thine own sake, O my God: for thy city and thy people are called by thy name. And whiles I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the LORD my God for the holy mountain of my God; Yea, whiles I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation (9: 18 – 21).
"And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee skill and understanding. At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment came forth, and I am come to shew thee; for thou art greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision (9: 21 – 23)."
In the next chapter, the angel explained to Daniel that it took quite an angelic battle for that angel to get through to God: "And he said unto me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak unto thee, and stand upright: for unto thee am I now sent. And when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood trembling.
"Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words. But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia (10: 11 – 13)."
Don't you see beloved? The devil and his hosts will do everything possible to stop you from fasting and praying. But you must not give up! The promises of God's Word in Wholesale Christian Bibles belong to you. In these last days, it is high time to cancel all A.W.O.Ls. and get to work full time to fulfill God's mission! (Don't forget to hear and see us on Worship Radio Detroit on the internet at 7 p.m. Wednesdays.) God Bless you now and forever!
Make 2017 A Year of United Prayer Warriors
Men who exercise tentacles of their powers over multiple nations, elected leaders, and dictators, who think they control sufficient collective human, spiritual and financial forces to stand against, even destroy, those attempting to subvert their plans for world direction—tend to eliminate persons, groups or nations who dare to oppose them. The feeder of their greed is money, or in their cases, unspeakable wealth, control of trillions, not just billions, of currencies world-wide. And sitting atop of this cadre of evil is Satan and all his satanic hosts of fallen angels and demons.
In 2017, members of The Body of Christ in the United States must remain close—even closer than it has ever been before. Historically when a nation's prayer teams are not unified, all hell breaks loose. Even now acute bitterness from the last election can weaken some prayer warriors who resent those election results. Christians, especially praying Christians, must recognize that earnest prayer, asking God Almighty to protect leaders on all political levels is
crucial intercessory prayer behavior.
I was in the Air Force when John Kennedy was elected President of the United States. Protestant chaplains on my particular base were furious at the thought of having a Catholic president, as they concluded that the Pope would soon rule this country. Likewise, politicians opposing Kennedy, as well as outspoken arms dealers, were furious because Kennedy was against expanding the Vietnam War. In fact, he wanted to withdraw American troops from that poor nation. In such a hateful atmosphere, and with so little agreement between politically-minded prayer warriors, the President was assassinated.
Those years were already riddled with cultural divisions between those confessing to be God's people. The Rev. Martin Luther King had also been murdered some months before Kennedy. Again, the nation's prayer forces were at odds with some churches being either for or against racial integration in schools and colleges. Again, the spiritual forces of God's people were divided. Before Martin was killed, Medgar Evers, Mississippi Civil Rights leader, was also gunned down. Not long after the President's death, his brother Senator Robert Kennedy, who was running to overthrow Kennedy's successor, was also killed by an assassin's bullet. Of course, the forces behind those killings were human earthly rulers and darkness linked with the forces of spiritual darkness.
During those years, Americans lived with a great sense of fear and foreboding. Nonetheless, good people began to cross racial, political and denominational lines and came together to pray for the nation's healing. During weekday prayer meetings, as well as Sunday morning services, people fell on their knees weeping, crying out for the nation's vicious culture of divisive hatred to end, for national leaders to be protected, and for Satan's vile seemingly endless disruption to be chased away from our shores. It took some years of earnest prayer, but eventually God's people won out. While the nation walked away from Vietnam, bloodied and battered, eventually the it's hurts of hatred and division were, for the most part, healed.
My point is that when those who are "in Christ" stop praying, or when they pray against one another because of cultural, or political, differences, horrible consequences befall the country. Today, I sense that same dread and foreboding threatening to creep over the land. Will it be forces from beyond our borders bringing such ubiquitous destruction, or will it be the same satanic energies of disruptive violent anger, Americans hating Americans, rising up to take political and cultural vengeance.
Whatever the source, the only answer remains to be prayer–Churches praying for national violence to stop, even
before it gets an even stronger foothold; Parents praying their children away from gangs and violence; Pastors, chaplains and Christians praying together for our politicians to be protected as they work together, crossing party and cultural lines, for the nation's benefit.
As wholesale Christian Bibles insists: "Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much (James 5: 16)." If earnest Christians do not begin such praying, it may well be that this time the nation will not survive these same old, yet 'new-found', battles against evil! And the world's satanic war mongers, pillars of the devil's stolen wealth and murderous destruction, will keep their onslaught against our nation and civilization until at last they bring in their true 'worship' leaders: Satan and the anti-Christ! It must be repeated: Christians please pray . . . pray in this New Year of 2017 as you have never prayed before.

Holy cats this Wednesday came up fast.
The summer is over. Hello, September. Not quite sure how I feel about you yet, since saying farewell to August seemed so completely forced upon me. Like we met at a party and immediately hit it off and the you came along and yanked August away with maybe a little too much squeezing of her arm.
That's right. September is a potentially abusive boyfriend.
The window is open and I'm smelling the heavenly wafts from the taco place on the corner. That restaurant is designed to tantalize. Every night they set up a big BBQ outside and the pastor is HEAVEN. I get the tacos with everything on 'em and one of the everything is a HOT sauce. When I'm eating, it becomes a race against my tastebuds, which are all but flayed from my tongue. But if I pause too long, or breathe too much, the full extent of the spice hits me.
So instead, I hork the tacos down like it's my last meal and then sit, pouring sweat, for the next 15 minutes. Maybe this is a new spa treatment. The Taco Cleanse.
In the two days since I've been home I've had three auditions and shot a pick-up scene for an indie I have a small role in. And for some reason, although my body was happy to comply, my brain had trouble making the adjustment. Back to life, I mean. Don't know what my problem is. Just
