Q: How does one receive healing prayers?

Q:  How does one receive healing prayers?


A:  A very short question…I'm not sure of what angle this question was presented,  but I will suggest many things….

1.) Position your heart for healing

….healing only happens by faith. Sometimes its by the faith of the one doing the praying & sometimes the recipient, but we know one of the 2 has to have faith! We know that "faith comes by hearing & hearing by the Word…" (Romans 10:17), so get in the Word to gain faith for the healing.

2.) Conform to Christ Jesus
… .another imploring to read the Word.  We have to believe what the Word says to be an heir of it.  No matter the topic…but since this is healing…gather up healing scriptures like these:
…. and meditate on them over & over.  When you begin to believe the truth you will get excited in the Word and the fire from it fuels your prayer.  And we know the prayer of a righteous one avails much! (James 5:16)

3.) Praise & worship
....let the excitement cross over into adoration…anticipation of the promised truth…after all, HE is Worthy!  Praise attracts God’s presence. He is drawn to where He is welcomed.  If 'by His stripes we are healed', then we can fixate on how we'd be Praising Him for the manifestation of the healing. So start now!

4.) Relationship
…. just a moment ago the Lord gave me a lil' vision for you… He showed me an invited stranger bursting into a formally seated banquet & demanding healing.  No, it doesn't work that way….first are introductions, gratefulness for being invited….giving the host a gift (your heart) and then casual talking & mingling….. and so on.  Sometimes we need to put on God's shoes & apply what we know of Him==knowing His terms, what He expects & then apply to how we like to be treated etc.
It's like getting an invitation to a scavenger hunt with the promised reward of a pot of gold.  We can stand there and demand our gold all day long, but the prize only comes in following the instruction (the Word)…going from clue to clue to the end…whilst the demanding fool had the same opportunity, but gets nothing by belligerently standing there.  
….but back to the banquet scenario:
….If we gave an invitation to all, we'd still expect to get to know people in relationship.  Someone barreling in demanding---even if the Word says we are heir….LOL, we have to act like heirs, not vigilantes!  It's how love is proven.  We can't only go the motions to get something…real love is give and take, sacrifice & surrender.

5.) Asking others to pray for you
 ….but really WITH you as you are pressing in, in relationship with God.  Hey, it's biblical!
This can be within your church fellowship/family and beyond. 


I created a forum to encourage group interaction... 
you can post a request on the forum at:  theironsmiths.com






There are people that naturally have the 'gift of healing'… seeking those types out if they visit your area or to go visit them….(the laying on of hands type of thing), is definitely an option as well.  Just pray to God and listen to what He impresses upon you to do.  To hop from healing evangelist to the next as a 'groupie' more than pressing in to God isn't so much 'relationship building' with the one who is the source of all healing, a?  Perhaps God will tell you "No.", about getting prayer that route, but rest assured His way is the best way.

6.) Perseverance
….He wants all the souls.  He wants us eternally.  We don't want to be as a beggar that rejects the mansion for the immediate handout, so the process is a refining one.  The goal isn't in getting our healing & then move on… what we go through becomes the testimonial to encourage those that WE will then lay hands on to recover.

7.) Believe!
We are to heal the sick, raise the dead and deliver in His name, in the 'big picture', so while you are pressing in for yourself, start RIGHT NOW, in practicing the truth.  If we decide we won't take up those promises until we are healed, the enemy will target that lie, and healing may never come because of 'conditions' we've placed upon God.  But, if we focus and implement the truth in believing for others, we are fueling faith and our own healing shall not be far off!

Ripe for the Pick'in - Bringing the Sheep to Jesus

The internet is ripe for the pick'in...

...so for those of you with a burden to help the sheep come home as the wheat and tares are being sifted... I have a great feast for you!

First of all... you have to be 'out there' in some form or fashion. In any case, whatever you do, whether free booklets, a blog, songs, videos.... you need to research SEO (Search engine optimization). You must really put yourself in the audience's shoes... what would you type in Google to find a specific subject? So you must use the science of being search-friendly.

I use the 'description' or 'about video' box on Youtube to type in as much rich/relevant info as possible to pair up with the tags that I had to set up. Another thing you can do is post links to your material elsewhere as it helps with ranking. To be on page one for a given search on Google is golden.... think about it.... how many pages do you flip through on Google looking for something before you give up??? Yah, this stuff is important, because if you are reaching out to the world for God, you want to be effective with that light on the lamp-post (not under that basket!). Posting links on Facebook, twitter, blogs, websites and wherever, drive up the ranking (or better said, move you closer to page 1 on Google).

A Word of Caution...
Your ministry drive must be fueled for reaching souls for Christ Jesus AND NOTHING ELSE. If things like page ranking become more important than the gospel... "pride cometh before a fall". In all things you are asking Yeshua for help in multiplying the talents He's given you. SEO need not be such a mechanical function that you begin to act a flake and email strangers on Youtube asking to sub for sub, or begin to send out heartless cookie-cutter pleas to where people feel as though you are 'using them'... and if you do that...maybe Jesus won't be so appealing if you are His ambassador, a? Use wisdom people! Alliances and building with others of a same heart, ministry or message is great but another avenue of caution... remember, the enemy gains power by breaking our unity...
satan says, "Where 2 or 3 are broken, I am there in the midst", LOL (no, I'm not quoting scripture).
A Good Starting Place.... Your Testimony!
Here is a great lil' vid I did a few years ago, to especially help those that have never tried beyond one on one encounters:

Many never try because of negative confessions of 'I'll never figure out the technology', etc. But I say, whenever I hit a brick wall, I just Google my problem because I know I'm not alone! Confess, "Yes, I can do this WITH YOUR HELP, Lord". And lucky for you... I even share (in the video) tips for people that don't like public speaking, are camera shy etc.!

Multiplication...
In the event that you've done the best you could with the testimony idea, (remember Jesus' charge: "And He said to them, 'Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.'" Mark 16:15) --the next thing to do is to multiply things that God clearly has his anointing on (Matthew 25:14-30, The Parable of the Talents).
What is the unforgivable sin? (Mark 3:28-29) Not only not recognizing when God shows up, but attacking it. So on the same token... what is the blessing for multiplying the precepts of the kingdom? Yep... good stuff. You'll hear me in teachings sometimes "I don't want to reinvent the wheel"... and so I then I refer people to other ministries teachings etc. I can't tell you how many treasures of the kingdom are missed out on because people are so afraid to laud another's God-given revelation. OR, they 'steal' by not adding references where they got it, or pawn it off as though they received it themselves. Do you what to talk about hell-fire? HA! God see's this!
"He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward." Matthew 10:41
No, we shouldn't fear multiplying the 'good stuff' because if we do (multiply it), we will be rewarded for it! If you don't have that sheep-wrangling gift or burden, then multiply what He has anointed, to fill up your heavenly piggy-bank!

Okay, and now for a testimonial treat!....
I'd like to end this exhortation with a little training session, because as you put your net out there, you will begin to have people contacting you for help, healing, prayer, etc.
If in every situation, you can first empty yourself of responsibility and cling to Jesus saying, "I shared, they came, & now I'm giving them to YOU, because I'm not their Savior".... then you're on the right track!

So I've been given permission to share communication from this very process... so you all can begin to see the impact I had in simply sharing the Word of God in a video, and how the Lord moved the individual to cry out and then how I began to pray... how God showed up and used me as a vessel and how a man's life will never be the same... I know this because the Lord gave me this scripture for this particular individual:
"He makes my feet like hinds' feet, And sets me upon my high places." Psalm 18:33
Because of this I knew that there was a grand calling on this mans life. Will you also nourish and encourage the ONE in ministry? Shall we begin?

So I got this comment on a video....
"Praise God! I have been praying for God to heal me from addictions. I am full of fear, paranoia and uncertainty because of these addictions. I know God is listening and will answer my prayers and bless my Mother and Father. God bless you all!"
So I prayed for them during the broadcast, re: "Prayer and Help Concerning Addictions", sending that Youtube clip and this was the reply:
(*Note, the bracketed in red are my notes in discerning… and all in red are the red flags that this person spoke and is in need of deliverance over)
Dear hearingGod,

Thank you so very much for praying for me! When you spoke in tongues, I felt a surge energy go through my body (almost electric). I believe this was God working through me. My family and I have been suffering from financial lack for almost ten years (financial curse). After losing his job, my Father began drinking heavily (beginning of 'addiction') which didn't help at all. Money has always been an issue (again, financial curse) and source of family arguments. I have also been unable to find a job after many years of searching (curse passed on from dad). We have lived in bondage for many years.

Looking back, this led to depression and feelings of inadequacy. In order to self-medicate, I developed bad habits that I have struggled to break. A few weeks ago, I had suicidal thoughts but prayed to the Lord and I believe He has spoken through me in many ways, including you. The enemy keeps implanting thoughts of worthlessness, guilt, anxiety and depression in my mind. At times, I feel like a failure and I am uncertain as to what the future holds for me.

You are absolutely right. I have been praying Psalm 91 repeatedly over the last few weeks; it is one of my favorite verses. How did you know this? I have been struggling with this addiction for many years but I believe the tide is turning in my favor although it is still a difficult process. I'm sorry for my long-winded response. Thank you again for your prayer and I will subscribe to your channel. Please continue praying for my family and God bless you and yours!
I referenced him to the Spiritual Housecleaning Series and shared a bit about identifying family curses with a free online short version of Derek Prince's book: "Blessing or Curse: You Can Choose", as well as encouraging the full read as well.

And you see, God has His way....
...Let's the strange 'Coincidences' begin!
I wrote him:
If I mentioned psalm 91 (I'd have to watch it again, I don't remember), it was the holy spirit flowing.... He is constantly giving me things to say and interpretation of tongues as I speak or pray for people. You feel that electricity & that 'Wow' over the psalm 91 stuff because He's doing it... not me... I'm just a clueless, but willing vessel, LOL.
God Continues to Confirm....
Hi,

You have my permission to share all of my comments. Thanks again for praying for me and my family. Do you know what is interesting? I forgot to mention this in my previous response. You probably will not believe me so I understand. The night before I got my prayer response from you, I had dream.

In this dream I opened my email account and there was an email from someone regarding prayer/prophecy. When I awoke yesterday morning, that was when I discovered that you had sent me a message via YouTube regarding my prayer request. I am still a little awed by this. Coincidence? I am not sure. Anyways, thanks again. I will go through the Housecleaning series. I will also check out Derek Prince's material.
And I replied:
This is 'normal', LOL... I totally believe you : )....
...What this is showing us is that you are really in tune with the Lord, and you should be excited for the destiny He has for you...
I then shared about taking a spiritual giftings test, because that scripture was showing me that he will cleanse and be running... (do look up the chapter-context of this scripture, Psalm 18:33... I am excited, because this one is a WARRIOR):
"He trains my hands for battle, So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.." Psalm 18:34
Do you have feet like the deer to securely scale the high places? Like this one, I want to see you equipped and stepping out to go after the one. Bring them in and them point them to Jesus... and rest assured He WILL do the rest!

"Owning Up" - Got Lemons?

Remember when David lusted after Bathsheba, had Uriah killed by putting him at the head of battle...and then the child he had with Bathsheba was prophesied to die (2Samuel 11-12)?

David still pleaded & repented in hopes to find mercy with God, but didn't work that time. He realized there were consequences for his actions. After the child died he puzzled others by dressing & eating instead of sackcloth & ashes, but he accepted that, that window had shut & there was no bringing the child back against the prophesied word.

So too, we make life altering/changing missteps and there is no way out but through. Like David, we admit the fault and cleanse ourselves and continue to seek God knowing, 
"that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose" Romans 8:28
...but the hard part is the walking it out.

Knowing God is Good

Imagine being David... he accepted full fault for why his child died and didn't blame God but honored Him and hoped for mercy.

Have you been complaining or been angry at God? Blaming others? Have you been going the other way into such condemnation that you're at a standstill, instead of receiving His forgiveness?

Patience and Acceptance

Ever considered 'Owning Up' and then asking, "God, what are you doing in all this?"  Remember, He promises to turn it around for our good, so we MUST trust Him!

Of course it's not fun at the moment, of course there is struggle, but we can learn a thing or two from the 'man after His own heart'(1Sa 13:14/Acts 13:22). 
Owning up to the 'mess' and making lemonade one way or another...even if it's in our shoe!

Marital Separation - Can it be Restored?

A gentleman recently contacted me about wanting to turn in the towel in his marriage that's been in separation for several months and any attempts to reconcile would lead to an argument.

This was my reply, along with other suggestions....

What are the real issues?  What has brought things on?  Finances, job, children, housing, transportation, in-laws, sickness….. just naming some of the biggest causes of marital stress. 

The blame game sucks…. 

 

So you own up to your faults and forgive hers?  Do you recognize her strengths/weaknesses?  If she has a 'hot button' do you purposefully push it so you can manhandle the arguments or can you stop yourself?  Those are other things to think on.  
 
Problems in marriage met with level-headed mediation is the way to go, with these kind of points:
'Let's define the problems as a couple without blaming each other'
'Are we working as a team or are we being selfish?'
'We can't change the past, so let's not live there in blame and guilt… '
'Can we sit and be brutally honest & transparent and share the fears, the pain, the anger over issues one time to get it off our chests, with out the other judging us, and then bury the hatchet and start brand new?'

Making amends starts first with ourselves in humility....

 

In a war it's better to surrender with a white flag then get slaughtered…& that's what it can become if we look at problems and blaming more than 'I'm sorry', and 'How can we make this work?'

History....

 

I know you can't 'see it' right now… especially since it's been several months & it can be disillusioning… but history is a great thing to open back up and 'remember'.

Remember the things that did click with you both… the places you enjoyed going together, mutual friends, common interests/music/movies etc.  Remember falling in love and making that commitment because it felt oh-so-right (in sickness, in health, for richer or poorer... that surrender to 'BE' together whatever life throws against you).

The grass always, ALWAYS, looks greener....

 

...on the other side of the fence, so invest in what you have WHILE you are seeking after God and purifying yourself and striving to be conformed to Christ.  Relationships are a #1 target of the enemy because,
 "Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them by My Father who is in heaven."
Matthew 18:19

In unity and in Him... we destroy the enemy's kingdom, and marriage, (a reflection of our divine union with God), is one of the most powerful institutions on earth!

A Prophetic Hope....

Imagine meeting again but not being baited into an argument….  but looking at the big picture.  This is the kind of refinement I'm talking about.  Committing to change first, yourself.  Making your soul beautiful : )

Even if you are the only one 'trying', realizing that your mate may not BE where you are at spiritually... but you know you should be praying the Word, PROPHETICALLY, as a blessing, speaking life and everything good that the Lord wants for us and our relationships.  

God wants restoration and unity, and so when you align with that, this scripture has real power:
"So will My word be which goes forth from My mouth; It will not return to Me empty, Without accomplishing what I desire, And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it."  Isaiah 55:11
Choose life, commit to conform and know the rest is His will be done.

In the occult and want out? Here's a prayer for you:

“Jesus, I’ve looked everywhere and have no peace.  I need your help.... I submit myself to you because I’ve heard you are a deliverer and in the bible it says of You: ‘He healed them all’.  I need healing in my soul.  I need Your protection. Please forgive me and what my ancestors engaged in that separated us from You.
I receive all You have for me... and by the power of Your conquering death and resurrection break any and every occult tie that opposes You---the One True God--- by the power that is in Your name JESUS. 
I recognize the price that you paid for me...  I am forgiven, I am Your beloved and I do  receive Your free gift of salvation. Now my rebellion and those of my forefathers are erased because You paid the debt for me/us at the cross. I thank you that I am your child and in Your Name of JESUS, I declare I AM FREE.”


Free indeed.... congratulations!  Feel free to contact us if you said that prayer-- for prayer, counsel and encouragement  : )  For starters.... destroy (not give away or sell--DESTROY) EvErYtHiNg or anything of the occult in your midst--even family heirlooms. 

...And consider reading Derek Prince’s book “Blessing or Curse - You can Choose”, to understand ‘why’.

God Can't Bless Sin





God cannot bless sin.  Approved workman will not be ashamed, amen? 
[2Timothy 2:15  "Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth."]
Approved... do you know what approved means.... doer, not hearer only. 
[Rom 2:13  "..for it is not the hearers of the Law who are just before God, but the doers of the Law will be justified."
&
James 1:22  "But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves."]
By this bible is how we are to live.  Our wedding garments being ready is in self examination between our life alongside of the Word of God.  When they don't match I must humble myself... not hold onto 'if it feels good do it'... no, i admit my sin, KNOWING that He will forgive and then I will make a conscious effort to co-labor w/ the Holy Spirit and remove the spots from my wedding attire. 

No, I can't do it on my own... but I cannot expect a victorious life if I don't try.

The problem many are having is that they've deviated for long enough down the path that they CANNOT SEE a way out from their current circumstances.  To come clean before God is a leap of faith.   
*Ex. of widower going to the V.A. using a cane when he didn't need one.
----healing will never come because he's not in a position to rely on God.
Some people get stuck in a wrong relationship because of dependency....if it was biblically rooted it wouldn't be this way... do you really think this isn't a trap of satan?

Do the hard thing.... REPENT.... and then conform to Christ.  Put your life in HIS hands even if you can't see it rt. now.... it's that way on purpose you know.  It's hard this way on purpose you know.... because He wants you to love Him for who He is... for His promises.... will you continue to treat Him as a liar as the rich young ruler... or will you stretch out your arms and die to self?  All the rich young ruler could see was his current situation.... he talked the talk but would NOT walk the walk.... how are you any different?

How wicked and deceitful are our hearts?  And how our flesh is quick to align w/ satan's lies that we are christians, yet we sit here and ignore how to live? 
And they called 'Lord, Lord'....but He said "I never knew you."[Matthew 7:22-23].... Do you think for one moment that you are exempt from this?  are you making history here in a fairy tale book?  or is this book the Words of life eternal?

Old billboard signs w/ layers upon hidden layers.... I want to be one of those digital billboard signs glowing from within w/ His light...and ready to change at a moments notice...
Choose this day whom you will serve!

The Lord gave me a picture this morning... to look and consider 'families'.  I have my family name.... I have family traits... I look like them....
There are a lot of people out there with the label 'christian' on them but throughout the scriptures the Lord warns us that His idea of sonship is different... His idea of who 'family' is, in His kingdom, is different.  His family is honorable and upholds the name.  not hearers only but doers... ones with good fruit to back it up.
At the banquet we must have proper attire to enter in... [Matthew 22:1-14] there are things we must do.... we have the invitation...that's free, but we must be responsible in honoring the name. 
Luke 17:7-10
"Which of you,
having a slave
plowing or tending
sheep, will say to
him when he has
come in from the
field, 'Come
immediately and
sit down to eat'?

"But will he not say
to him, 'Prepare
something for me
to eat, and properly
clothe yourself and
serve me while I
eat and drink; and
afterward you may
eat and drink'?

"He does not thank
the slave because
he did the things
which were
commanded, does
he?

"So you too, when
you do all the things
which are
commanded
say, 'We are
unworthy slaves;
we have done only
that which we ought
to have done.'"

This is a king we are talking about here.  If you show up late or sloppy and if He'd allow you in... He really doesn't have authority does He?  And then everyone could abuse the privilege.  No, the King is in absolute power and if you will not obey, you will be made an example of.... because it's fair.  He's holding up his end of the bargain.... He's written it in blood and it gives those adopted hope.... finally something they can rely on...finally a promise kept it's no wonder they love Him more cuz they realize what they've really been given.

Do you realize what you've been given church? Let's be 'true family'... not just the name, but in all respects.... live it!

Deuteronomy 7:9 "Know therefore that the LORD your God, He is God, the faithful God, who keeps His covenant and His lovingkindness to a thousandth generation with those who love Him and keep His commandments.."

Revelation 21:6 "Then He said to me, 'It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to the one who thirsts from the spring of the water of life without cost.'"

Habakkuk 3:19 "The Lord GOD is my strength, And He has made my feet like hinds' feet, And makes me walk on my high places."

Isaiah 1:18b "Though your sins are as scarlet, They will be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They will be like wool."

So You Say... Deep Ruts are Hard to Get Out of?





 So you've fallen and you can't get up?
Deep ruts of sin, lies believed... you name it... if it's been going on a long time... the wagon tracks can get deep!

I liken it to the justice/criminal system in how some things can require you to STAND, a while longer for than others just like some crimes you do more time for.  Sure, all sin is judged as sin, but some things just cater that enemy access more than others and so it requires one to be tested, tried and proven by a lifestyle that has gone beyond 'hearer only' into a 'DOER'.

'Doer' status comes by effectually conforming to Christ by heaping in the truth from the Word and living it out.  As those attacks come, you fall less and less... conforming to God's society so you can function as an upstanding citizen!
AND... you not only overcome, but you give God Glory in the process!

Pt 3 Birds, Bees, 'Coming of Age', What Happens Spiritually?





Wow, old video with quite an agenda… Hi, I'm Freedom1, hearingGod.tv and in my last video of this series I'd talked about how important it is to take captive the spiritual assaults that enter through the eyes, the ears, fantasies of the mind and bridling our tongue. I told you that I wanted to save the last bullet point of 'dreams' for this video because on the topic of masturbation… dreams are a big battlefield. Throughout the day… thoughts and sensory items hurled at you are processed and if not dealt with, open you up to a huge attack zone in your dreamscape.

So I'm going to ease in on some revelation in the scripture, because as you're becoming spiritually aware… you need to also:
"Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth."
2 Timothy 2:15
Yes, that's right we need dig into the Word of God for understanding! And in the dreamscape there is a very important clue found in Isaiah 34:14… IF we dig into the strong's concordance. You won't find this clue in just looking at a King James Bible!

What is the Strong's concordance? Well, our scriptures are translated from Greek and Hebrew.. and so the strong's provides a detailed edu on the base root from the original language. As you know… bible scholars may have a selection to choose from… but sometimes limiting the entirety of a root meaning buries the richness hidden in there. So let's see what's really hidden in Isaiah 34:14...
(Isaiah 34:14 strong's concordance study of 'night monster' listed as #3917)
• dreams - the act of masturbation opens us up to the invitation of:
spirits of incubus and succubus

Now the scripture I showed you shows the reality in the Word of a spirit with a nocturnal assignment… but the Word doesn't spell out incubus and succubus in there. Do I know that our military has a ranking order to it? "Sure", you'd say. Could I name off military officials by name along with their title? Well, no… but if I know enough about the military I could tell you their function. So how do I know of these spirit's names? Well, remember in the last video I told you figure out the root of any spiritual attack… such as anger, jealousy, hate… and then in labeling or 'naming these' you bind them and cast them to the footstool of Jesus. Well, this is the same sort of thing… we're just dealing with older languages here!
Incubus Origin: noun derivative of Latin incubāre to lie upon; see incubate
Succubus Origin: from succubare "to lie under," from sub- "under" + cubare "to lie down"
ie...Incubus:  generally attacks girls - Succubus:  generally attacks guys
God is big on names that match character…

I'm going into detail with this because you don't need to research demonic ranking or any kind of demonology with anything you encounter spiritually… all you have to do is look at it's root and ask Father God what it is or what you need to know in order to get the job done! Never dig around satan's info or 'think' you'll get some edge on the enemy with such knowledge… that's a trap! You are secure holding Jesus' hand!

Okay… so these spirits visit at night and if we are welcoming to them we have a sexual dream that may even result in orgasm. The act of masturbation is essentially having sex with ones self; which doesn't fit in with the bigger picture portrayed in the scriptures of loving each other, even sacrificially… let's face it… the scriptures are 'us' focused and masturbation is a very selfish and impatient 'me, me me…and I don't need you' kind of act. When we look at the bigger picture we can see a stinky root and stinky roots are handed over to satan… giving him access to torment us.
Rom 1:24 Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them.
Incubus and Succubus can disguise themselves… and depending upon how much of the truth of the Word you have within you, decides how disguised they appear.

God dwells within you,  "Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body."
1Corinthians 6:19-20 -- and because of that this scripture holds true:
Ps. 68:2b "..as wax melts before the fire, may the wicked perish before God."
So I can tell you that unsaved people have really realistic night experiences with these demons and haven't a clue what's really going on. Some people experience this as a 'night terror' and wake up speaking of an awful dream where they felt as though they had been raped. As for believers though… even accepting Jesus as Lord, we still have to strive to be holy. Even in the night watch. These spirits will still aim to attack. I've had them appear to me wrapped in sheets so I couldn't see who or what they were… but it was clear in the dream that they came with sexual intent. As I resisted the advance and began to cry out for Jesus, I found myself feeling utterly paralyzed and almost unable to scream Jesus' name. Finally I woke up to feel that oppressive paralysis leaving me.

If you've related to any of the bullet points I've mentioned & fear you may have opened up the door to incubus or succubus, I'll have a prayer link in the descriptions to help you repent and shut this doorway.

"But what if I haven't opened such a doorway and find myself having major attacks", you say? I'm not just talking about Incubus or Succubus… what if you find yourself having a desire or tendency toward the same sex-- one that you've always known? Or, what if you find yourself secretly binging and purging or becoming anorexic? What if you feel a strong desire to drink alcohol or can't seem to stay away from porn? I'll save that for the next video.

I had wanted to share info/link but....
As is common with the pressure of the sin mankind wants.... this link I had is now defunct... having data on how Masturbation, not so 'healthy' of an act:
http://thehealthblogger.com/masturbation-it-is-not-healthy-for-you-contrary-to-popular-belief/
I will highlight the gists though:
*masturbation can become more addictive than taking heroin - one releases the same chemical which makes you feel good when you take heroin (i.e. opioids)
*every time you ejaculate, you lose approximately 3-5mg of zinc, that's nearly a third of your RDA.
Zinc is one of the main minerals responsible for testosterone production, therefore less zinc, less testosterone etc. (in regular intercourse the zinc is replenished in the transfer of trace minerals and prostaglandins... God knows what He's doing folks)
* small list of issues masturbation can cause (though not an exhaustive one):
- Fatigue

- Lower back pain

- Thinning hair/hair loss

- Weak erection

- Premature ejaculation

- Groin/testicular pain

- Concentration and memory problems

- Sleep problems

Birds, Bees, 'Coming of Age', What Happens Spiritually? Pt 2




…Continuing from my last video on the subject of just what happens to folks spiritually around the time of 'age of reason'… I had mentioned that satan will attack us by fleshly means.

• eyes, ears & mouth
pornography, inappropriate music, coarse jesting (filthy talk)

When you're a child, all of this stuff is ideally filtered by parents… and in coming of age and the drive for independence and autonomy the enemy likes us to believe we've been missing out on something. Couple this with peer pressure and it's an easy trap… but let's look at what the Word has to say.
"The eye is the lamp of the body; so then if your eye is clear, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!"
Matthew 6:22-23
I'd like to share a reflection by John Fenn in a study he did about God's thoughts on porn:
"Leviticus 18 is the chapter that covers pornography, and the phrase seen repeatedly is this: 'You shall not uncover the nakedness of...' (Your mother, step-mother, sister, sister-in-law, niece, neighbor's wife) The Hebrew word translated 'uncover' means to 'de-nude', or remove clothes for the purpose of seeing (them) naked with sexual intent. That's not talking about bathing your children/grandchildren or going to a doctor - it's talking about uncovering another's nakedness with sexual intent."
Music is obvious and trust me, when I was young I said this same line you're thinking "But I only listen to it for the beat… I don't pay attention to the words." But realize that if God created everything with His spoken word… do consider that even subliminally all words have power and effect. Ever research 'subliminal messages'?--- Hey, science is totally on my side here.

And what about that Piehole? Heart pollution from the eyes and ears… if not taken captive and dealt with come out like a little snake out of an egg to then become ear pollution for someone else.
"The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth what is good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth what is evil; for his mouth speaks from that which fills his heart." Luke 6:45
That's why the scriptures are so harsh talking about the evil in a tongue.
"But immorality or any impurity or greed must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints; and there must be no filthiness and silly talk, or coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks." Ephesians 5:3
• daytime fantasies
These 'fantasies' need not only be sexual, but could be revenge or greed - pride based… you name it.
2Cr 10:5
"Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.."
Mat 5:28
"..but I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart."
• eyes, ears and fantasies (in a sexual light) lead to masturbation…

Now I could focus on any one thing… like watching violence and speaking violence and having violent fantasy metastasizing into violent action… but I want to focus on the uncomfortable subject of masturbation ---down the sexual path because this is a big issue that nobody wants to talk about! Although not expressly listed in the Bible as a sin, masturbation is almost always the result of viewing porn, lustful thoughts (fantasies), suggestive talk or sexual stimulation.

Again… look at: Mat 5:28
"..but I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart."---and this is sin in just looking with a sexual fantasy playing out in the mind!

It is the root of what drives masturbation that people turn a blind eye against. We know it only takes one second of a porn image to be ingrained in the mind… even if it hits us innocently… we know on the internet that happens a lot! We're not even looking to sin, but that's the thing… evil is out there lurking. We WILL be assaulted by evil in this life, but will we choose to cling to God? Do we denounce that evil… take that image captive or do we allow the enemy to role-play fantasy that pushes us over the edge? Any time we are assaulted by our eyes or ears, it is our responsibility to halt the enemy from advancing as per 2Cr 10:5:
"Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ…"
So the scripture is great right? But you're saying, "What do I do? How do I enact what the Word says?". Well, In the video called: "Strongholds Edu - Spiritual Housecleaning", I gave an example of how we are to take those things captive and deal with them through a demonstration of someone sending a gross picture in an email.

In it, I labeled what I felt I was being attacked with… a 'perverted picture' --so I called it a spirit of 'perversion'. And the same holds true for any thought, whether it be anger or jealousy… whatever is hurled at you, identify what it exemplifies and address it by binding it in the name of Jesus… and then casting it or commanding it to the footstool of Jesus for His judgement.
"Truly I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven." Matthew 18:18
Why to the footstool?
Study these:

Ephesians 1:22-23

Luk 20:42

Mar 12:36

Matt 22:44

Ps. 110:1
Jesus has given you the authority but you must exercise it by enforcement.
"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places." Ephesians 6:12

Now it might be disappointing that you don't to see this spiritual battle take place, but it is going on! Just like the video clip, God's angels hear you and carry out what you've spoken.

Now to go one step further… if you are repeatedly attacked in an area and you desperately want to overcome… after you bind and cast… prophesy over yourself the opposite attributes of the attack. If the Bible says you can have something… in prophesying it, you are agreeing with God and His truth over your life, even though you may not show it yet… you are saying "I want to be holy, because You are Holy, Lord".
"Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me." Psalm 51:10
Loose into yourself God's truth! In my example, what is the opposite or antonym of 'perversion'? Purity, holiness… so loose that and declare it wherever the enemy was attacking you in your soul. Then meditate frequently on scriptures that focus on Purity and Holiness.
"For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart." Hebrews 4:12
"So shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it." Isaiah 55:11
I have one more point on the topic of masturbation, "• dreams", but I want to save it for the next video because it leads right into a whole section about what happens spiritually when we entertain and engage in those activities that the scriptures warn us to keep away from… So stay Tuned!
-------------
Taking things captive and dealing with them Prayer:
"Spirit of ________, I bind you up in the name of Jesus and command you go to the footstool of Jesus Christ for His judgment.
I now loose ________, into my soul where the enemy was attacking me and I declare ((add scripture here that affirms what you are loosing, ie. if 'depression' was attacking you… then 'joy' is loosed and you could say, "for the joy of the Lord is my strength!" Nehemiah 8:10))
I pray this all in Jesus' name.

Learning to Interpret - Gift of Tongues





Do you have a desire to move and operate in the gift of 'interpretation of tongues'?

We are told to earnestly desire greater gifts (1Cr 12:31, 1 Cr 14:1, 1 Cr 14:38), in the context of Strong's Concordance ... earnestly desire also translates into: "earnestly PURSUE"

We know full well that God speaks truth (He doesn't jerk us around!):
"Or if he asks for a fish, he will not give him a snake, will he?" Mat 7:10

He doesn't tell us to go after something and then jerk the rug from under our feet! YES, you can operate in this Gift!!!!

"All do not have gifts of healings, do they? All do not speak with tongues, do they? All do not interpret, do they?"
1Cr 12:30 - but *refer to next verse: 'earnestly desire'...
TRUE, it's not a requirement for salvation... but not many are willing to PURSUE the desire HE has placed in your heart! Are many people doctors? Are many lawyers? Same kind of speech... could you be one of these? Yes, it's accessible, but you have to put in the Work and TRAINING... how bad do you want it?

"But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to discern good and evil."
Hebrews 5:13-14

Repentance Required to Receive the Baptism in the Holy Spirit



Excerpted reading from a sermon by Smith Wigglesworth (1859-1947) entitled: "Ye Shall Receive Power"

-------Repentance Required to Receive the Baptism in the Holy Spirit-----


“'Ye shall receive power after the Holy Ghost is come upon you.' The disciples had been asking whether the Lord would at that time restore again the kingdom to Israel. Christ told them that it was not for them to know the times and seasons which the Father had put in His own power, but He promised them that when they received the Holy Ghost they should receive power to witness for Him in all the world. To receive the Holy Ghost is to receive power with God, and power with men…."

"…The Lord wants all saved people to receive power from on High--power to witness, power to act, power to live, and power to show forth the divine manifestation of God within. The power of God will take you out of your own plans and put you into the plan of God. You will be unmantled and divested of that which is purely of yourself and put into a divine order. The Lord will change you and put His mind where yours was, and thus enable you to have the mind of Christ. Instead of you labouring according to your own plan, it will be God working in you and through you to do His own good pleasure through the power of the Spirit within. Someone has said that you are no good until you have your “I” knocked out. Christ must reign within, and the life in the Holy Ghost means at all times the subjection of your own will to make way for the working out of the good and acceptable and perfect will of God within…"

"The Holy Spirit will come when a man is cleansed. There must be a purging of the old life. I never saw anyone baptized who was not clean within.

I remember being in a meeting at one time, where there was a man seeking the Baptism, and he looked like he was in trouble. He was very restless, and finally he said to me, “I will have to go.” I said, “What's up?” He said, “God is unveiling things to me, and I feel so unworthy.” I said, “Repent of everything that is wrong.” He continued to tarry and the Lord continued to search his heart. These times of waiting on God for the fullness of the Spirit are times when He searches the heart and tries the reins. Later the man said to me, “I have a hard thing to do, the hardest thing I have ever had to do.” I said to him, “Tell the Lord you will do it, and never mind the consequences.” He agreed, and the next morning he had to take a ride of thirty miles and go with a bag of gold to a certain party with whom he dealt. This man had a hundred of cattle and he bought all his feed at a certain place. He always paid his accounts on a certain day, but one day he missed. He was always so punctual in paying his accounts that when later the people of his firm went over their books, they thought they must have made a mistake in not crediting the man with the money and so they sent him a receipt. The man never intended not to pay the account, but if you defer to do a right thing the devil will see that you never do it. But when that man was seeking the Lord that night the Lord dealt with him on this point, and he had to go and straighten the thing the next morning. He paid the account and then the Lord baptized him in the Spirit. They that bear the vessels of the Lord must be clean, must be holy.

When the Holy Spirit comes He always brings a rich revelation of Christ. Christ becomes so real to you that, when, under the power of the Spirit, you begin to express your love and praise to Him, you find yourself speaking in another tongue. Oh, it is a wonderful thing! At one time I belonged to a class who believed that they had received the Baptism in the Spirit without the speaking in tongues. There are many folks like that today, but if you can go with them to a prayer meeting you will find them asking the Lord again and again to baptize them in the Spirit. Why all this asking if they really have received the Baptism? I have never heard anyone who has received the Baptism in the Holy Ghost after the original pattern asking the Lord to give them the Holy Ghost. They know of a surety that He has come.

I was once traveling from Belgium to England. As I landed I received a request to stop at a place between Harwich and Colchester. The people were delighted that God had sent me, and told me of a special case they wanted me to pray for. They said, “We have a brother here who believes in the Lord, and he is paralyzed from his loins downward. He cannot stand on his legs and he has been twenty years in this condition.” They took me to this man and as I saw him there in his chair I put the question to him. “What is the greatest desire in your heart?” He said, “Oh, if I could only receive the Holy Ghost!” I was somewhat surprised at this answer, and I laid my hands on his head and said, “Receive ye the Holy Ghost.” Instantly the power of God fell upon him and he began breathing very heavily. He rolled off the chair and there he lay like a bag of potatoes, utterly helpless. I like anything that God does. I like to watch God working. There he was with his great, fat body, and his head was working just as though it was on a swivel. Then to our joy he began speaking in tongues. I had my eyes on every bit of him and as I saw the condition of his legs I said, “Those legs can never carry that body.” Then I looked up and said, “Lord, tell me what to do.” The Holy Ghost is the executive of Jesus Christ and the Father. If you want to know the mind of God you must have the Holy Ghost to bring God's latest thought to you and to tell you what to do. The Lord said to me, “Command him in My name to walk” But I missed it, of course. I said to the people there, “Let's see if we can lift him up.” But we could not lift him, he was like a ton weight. I cried, “Oh Lord, forgive me.” I repented of doing the wrong thing, and then the Lord said to me again, “Command him to walk.” I said to him, “Arise in the name of Jesus.” His legs were immediately strengthened. Did he walk? He ran all round. A month after this he walked ten miles and back. He has a Pentecostal work now. When the power of the Holy Ghost is present, things will happen."

Strongholds Edu - Spiritual Housecleaning



Do you have unsettling sinful habits, weaknesses, torments, recurring bad fruit character flaws? I'm not talking about big things like murder or adultery… I'm talking about areas in your life, in your thought patterns that keep you barreling like a hamster in it's wheel instead of exhibiting Galatians 5 victory?
Spiritual Housecleaning is a series I'm doing to help expose all those dark, dirty little things that the enemy would rather you think is just a normal struggle in your life.
You're here because you know there's abundant life, you've tasted it… but a taste just won't do… you want to live it!

Hi Freedom 1 here, with a little video crash course illustration about enemy access that ties us up from conforming into the image of Christ Jesus. I'll show how we get on the brink of agreeing with the devil… how to overcome when the pressure is on, what happens when we blow it and how the sins of our forefathers haunt us and wear us down.

In 2 Corinthians 10:4&5 NAS we read, "…for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ." Other versions call those 'fortresses' - 'strongholds', and that's what we're talking about here.

In Mark 3:27 is the ever popular illustration that perhaps we've read and agreed with but never thought about in terms of those recurring troubles we have, that the Word says we shouldn't.

I'll begin to flesh it out with our character Mr. Bitter as he's active on the job-site… later we'll send in an interviewer as well… Roll the Spirit-Cam!

INTERVIEW SEQUENCE

*Note: Generational curses or sins of the father…. wear us down, because they have legal access to do so. The generational ties…. let's face it, it's like chinese water torture…. just always there nagging…. those thoughts, those voices in the head. Remember in 2 Corinthians 10:5? ["Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ." ] This is not only talking about what our human minds come up with, but who else can influence our mind with those nagging 'voices' those contrary thoughts?

It's so simple though… appropriate what Jesus did…. and be done with it!

But I don't know everything about my ancestor back 4 generations ago…. you say…. well, we'll save that for another video.

Recap…. how do we get a stronghold?
• Blatant unrepentant sin all by ourselves.
• If we agree with ANY lie…. we create a door.

Journey along with me in this series of Spiritual Housecleaning as we learn to dismantle every work of the enemy in our lives and be equipped to stop these cycles cold in our lives and all those around us, so that we can truly be free, FREE INDEED!

Spiritual Housecleaning Part 1



'Spiritual house-cleaning' is the process of freedom from demonic oppression. When we are examining ourselves… find bad habits, bad fruit, evidence of unrepentant sin and we begin to cry out earnestly with desire to not only overcome, but to change at all costs… doors of access begin to shut. Deliverance begins to happen.

When I began down this path of deep self examination… I realized that I ‘had issues’. In reading the Word of God and comparing my ‘Walk’ along-side of it... things weren’t adding up. I found myself identifying oh--too--well, with Saint Paul’s lament in Romans 7:15, “For what I am doing, I do not understand; for I am not practicing what I would like to do, but I am doing the very thing I hate.”

I found myself needing a deliverer because try as I might.... I still had my issues (I still HAVE issues!) despite doing and saying ‘all the right things’. Despite all the heartfelt repentance, forgiveness and reading the Word! The Lord showed me in the scriptures…. Moses delivered the Israelites from the hand of Pharaoh…. we can liken that to what takes place when we receive Jesus as Lord. But were the Israelites completely free after that point? No… what happened? They succumbed to influences and what were the roots of those thoughts that turn to action? Ask yourself… was there a root spirit of bondage, of fear, of distrust…. and you can go on & on deeper into this meditation in seeing they had those same things before the exodus.

The fact of the matter is, is that walking out your salvation is an understatement to it's true meaning church. There are a great many words that have changed meaning these days.

Why is the word ‘Deliverance’ a dark and dirty word that society has programmed us into believing that is a rare necessity only for little levitating girls with spinning heads, foaming & cursing mouth manifestations? Maybe because ‘Possession’ is a dark and dirty word that is often associated with it.

In Chris Simpson’s guide entitled: Deliverance from Evil Spirits, a recommended read (link below), I found this interesting tidbit… Did you know...:

“In the New Testament, the Greek word expressing the presence of demonic spirits within people is daimonizomai (Die-mon-nye-zom-my). What this word means is to be demonized; to be under the power or influence of a demon in certain areas; to have a demon. In the King James Version of the Bible this particular Greek word is translated 11 times as “to be possessed with devils.” The word “possessed,” however, is a mislead-ing translation for this Greek word. To English speaking people the term “possessed” implies total ownership of something. This concept, when applied to the relationship between a demonic entity and a person, has no support in the scripture or in the original intent of the Greek word. There is no suggestion in the scripture that a demon has totally taken over a person as the word “possessed” implies. Even the Gaderene demoniac had enough humanity to cry out to Jesus for help. Rather, close scriptural study shows that the effect of demons upon people was usually in one or more areas of the personality - not the whole person.”

Does the thought of demonic access set well in comparison with what the ‘church’ has programmed us with? Of course not. The devil is always making us do something... but we have no part in it whatsoever, “Why, that sneaky devil just came outta nowhere, no one is safe”. No, that's a Wrong mentality, that gives the devil power and lessens the power of God. Or how about “We’re all sinners with no good in us”; Wrong. God Justifies us through Christ & uses us in the plan of salvation.

When you’ve tried everything to no avail... full-well knowing that God is good.... maybe it’s time to take seriously that ‘every penny must be paid for’...

Matthew 18:33-35 "Should you not also have had mercy on your fellow slave, even as I had mercy on you? And his lord, moved with anger, handed him over to the torturers until he should repay all that was owed him. So shall My heavenly Father also do to you, Peter, if each of you does not forgive his brother from your heart."

Suddenly, it makes sense-- because we realize that the Word of God IS very true despite man’s desire to pick and choose based on the pride in the mind or fleshly desires. Sin opens us up to satan. The price for sin is the atoning blood of Jesus. The glaring 'issues' we have… the ones that echo Paul's Lament in Romans 7:15… the diseases, the repetition of failure in our lives point to areas of access.

The bridge of Sanctification is a marvelous structure that ‘Deliverance’ steadily ropes us across. Even the smallest of undesirable fruit is not welcome in the offering of our very selves unto the Lord.

This is some hard stuff and I will be addressing it because this term 'Deliverance' and the concept of 'Spiritual Housecleaning' is very broad. Some of the 'issues' we deal with… we have no understanding where they have come from and why we can't seem to break free…. those point to Generational Curses (sins of forefathers) Soul Ties, and Curses (whether self induced or by others) in general. This doesn't seem fair, but it's in the Word and if you have these 'issues'… diving in to understand the 'Why' will help you overcome.

Another hard area is that the enemy is attracted to pain, just like an open wound in the ocean attracts sharks…. so areas of wounding or trauma…. which aren't even sins we have committed also give a doorway for the enemy to frequent in our lives. How do we heal the wound? This is stuff I'm going to touch on later in this series.

Spiritual Tips 4 - Tips for Teachers



Are you a God-ordained 'Teacher' of the 5-fold, in that the gifts have not passed away? If your drive is to open up and bless the body of Christ with any morsel of revelation of the kingdom of God. this is for you.

1.) Go with what you know. Nothing regurgitated. nothing from a book that you've read but not personally been through or God hasn't specifically shown you Himself. God gives all of us a facet if it weren't so then we wouldn't need a 'body of Christ'. There's nothing wrong with building upon more facets already out there, but if you hop on a bandwagon of sorts and it's not coming from the heart, it benefits no one and if it's not birthed from HIM, it's your own bad-self Pride that you need to be dealing with!
Some people put themselves in this position because they have a 'ministry' a 'following' that is expecting them every wednesday night at 7pm. Be careful people only do what you see the Father doing and don't get swept down the river with that old feeding trough trap.

2.) Go with what you know AND have Conquered, because. you'll be tested by your words. If you haven't conquered something and blab it out prematurely guess what? You're going to deal with it some more. It's not only the devil that stands before God and says, "Hey, they say they are over it, I just had them a moment ago, talk is cheapI ain't go'in nowhere unless they therefore STAND". but the enemy also enlists human weapons to rail against you, to whittle your faith down and make it even harder for you. Hey, let's face it the enemy is ruthless he knows you well. Your good witness is more important to snuff out than a christian that's minding their own business in unspiritual Logos-land. Teachers you know you're more accountable. If you don't have your 'stuff' together and the pressure is great and you fall what happens to the people that were listening to you?
I know, it's hard you start to get freedom and revelation and you get excited. But hold up lil' buck-a-roo don't let your excitement be captured by the enemy pushing you.


Part of the lie the enemy often pushes on people is that YOU HAVE TO BE FIRST. this is something 'new'. Nope, nothing new under the sun. There is no hurry if you are trusting in the Lord. You will absolutely know when the time is right to deliver the message of the Lord you'll be inspired, it will come out with an unmistakable anointing upon it; you will have peace and there won't be any feeding pearls to swine.

3.) God will bless you where you are at no task He commissions you with is too small or unimportant. I have an immense burden to teach but one day He told me to do the bible promise series here on YouTube. That doesn't require teaching. just reciting from the good book. What I didn't realize is what an important tool, weapon and blessing it is for me! BUT, He knows! Now it's a referral I use when helping others.
The same with doing 'Children's Church'. I simply turn on the camera when I teach the kiddies & then spend some time editing & then what happens? My kids LOVE the episodes! Not only do they sit through it once but they watch the fun video after the fact! Do I want the word of God in me? Do I want it rooted in my kids? YES!
3a.) God will bless you where you are at because God gives us these teachings first for ourselves! As I go through old teachings, I find blessings there. Teacher,. if you're not finding blessing in your own teachings if you don't feel that anointing there that excites you to go deeper analyze, was it you or God-ordained?

4.) Look at me vs. Look at God When you start a teaching as led by God, stay the narrow road. Are you equipping people or are you looking for accolades? People want to know how to go on deeper with God and how to be free. We are called to use our testimony, but there's a fine line there. Point to Jesus. Educate the people. And be 'Real' in your delivery-- don't only tell half of it cuz rest brings down your posh reputation. If you've conquered it. it shouldn't bug you anyways!

5.) Be You God has designed you and equipped you just as you are. don't squish yourself into the preacher on t.v. box-of-the-month, if that's not you. I have people call me a fake christian cuz I'm goofy instead of serious and stoic. But hey, I'm reaching who I'm supposed to all you cool people that watched this to the end!
