When I first became a follower of Christ, I struggled with the idea of being good enough for Him. I felt so inept, so dirty, so unworthy. I struggled DAILY with this. The enemy had a hay day with me. When I went to the gym and looked at a man with a great physique, I felt guilty. I wasn't lusting after them but merely appreciating the beauty and dedication it took to create such a physique. I was a bodybuilder at the time so I knew how much work goes into that.<br /><br />The guilt was devastating to me. I felt unworthy, unclean and just downright sick. And then, God gave me a dream. I dreamt that I was sitting at a table playing cards with a man whose face I could not see. There was a bright light behind his head and it darkened his features while lighting up his silhouette. I don't play cards so this was odd to me. He spoke and said, "Sometimes things are just a gift. You accept it as that and say thank you. And then you trust." Having that dream when I did gave me such peace. I was taught that it didn't matter what I did. It's NOT about me and ALL ABOUT HIM and WHAT HE DID FOR US. It's ALWAYS about Him. <br /><br />We tend to live in the flesh and focus on the wrong things. My husband and I used to watch The Ten Commandments every single night as we fell asleep. We always commented about the Israelites and how could they possibly turn away from God after experiencing all of those miraculous feats. The plagues. The parting of the Red Sea. The manna. The doves. The water from the Rock. The Pillar of Fire and Pillar of Smoke. HOW COULD THEY NOT BELIEVE? <br /><br />And then Jesus spoke to my spirit and corrected me. He said I was focusing on the wrong thing, the fleshly thing. I was focusing on the negativity of this world instead of focusing on HIS FAITHFULNESS TO HIS PEOPLE. When I received this message, I understood that in order to understand His Word, and especially the Tanakh, the Old Testament, you MUST READ IT THROUGH A LENS OF LOVE. HIS LOVE. If you read the Bible and see negativity in God, you are looking through eyes of flesh instead of eyes of faith, eyes of love. Every judgment...you know, the ones people use to say God is an egomaniac, a jealous, maniacal, genocidal freak...was to ENSURE THE BIRTH OF THE MESSIAH. Every judgment came from LOVE. If we see Noah's flood in any other way that God ensuring His only begotten Son could be born to save ALL WHO BELIEVE, then we are misunderstanding His Holy Word.<br /><br />Josh--and all others suffering--it's not about you. It's about HIM and what HE DID FOR YOU. That's all it's ever been about. Go to Him in prayer. Ask for confirmation. Read Galatians and Romans and understand that it IS about HIM and how He Who knew no sin became sin so He could GIVE US HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS. Through one man, sin entered the world so, too, through One Man did salvation come.<br /><br />God bless and if I can help ANYONE understand this better, please contact me.

AND YOU CAN DO SOMETHING TO STOP THEM. RECITE SCRIPTURE OUT LOUD. CAST THEM OUT IN THE NAME OF JESUS! CLAIM THAT THE DEMONS ARE GONE. ASK FOR GODS ANGELS TO SURROUND YOU AND PROTECT YOU FROM SATAN'S ATTACKS. <br /><br />So often times, Christians think that they could not possibly be affected by demons, because they believe that a Christian can not have a demon. BUT THEY ARE WRONG. Even if the demons troubling a believer are not actually IN them, they can still try to attack them from the outside. <br /><br />Another thing to consider, is if there are any unclean items in your house or on your land. These items can be a doorway that the enemy uses to enter into this world and attack you. (See my personal testimony on cleaning the land:<br />http://dreamsofdunamis.wordpress.com/2013/03/26/how-to-get-rid-of-land-demons-and-keep-them-out/.)<br /><br />demonbuster.com has some good intro links on spiritual warfare, and my favorite book on it is called "Blood On The Doorposts" by Bill and Sharon Schnoebelen. It gives you a good idea of what is unclean, and how this could be affecting your life.<br /><br />Please know, that the emotions you are describing (dizzy, confused, loosing your mind, not wanting to face the world again, scared, etc.,) are also names of actual demons. Please try casting them out in the name of Jesus. It may help to lessen the severity of the emotions. Satan loves to take a negative emotion and ramp it up to a painful level. (Below is an example of that happening to me and my husband, and how these demons were removed: http://dreamsofdunamis.wordpress.com/2012/02/10/this-is-satan-attacking-us/) <br /><br />And yes, in case you were wondering, I too, have gone through something similar. So much so, that I almost committed suicide. (Which was also a demon. My testimony on this is on my blog.) But the more I have learned about spiritual warfare, the more I began to practice it, and the more I have found PEACE. <br /><br />Jesus, please speak to Josh. Let him CLEARLY hear Your voice within him today! <br /><br />And Josh, may you also find the peace that surpasses ALL understanding.<br /><br />Blessings to you dear Josh,<br />C.

PETER THE ROMAN - The 112th prophesy states: "In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church there will reign Petrus Romanus, who will feed his flock amid many tribulations; after which the seven-hilled city will be destroyed and the dreadful Judge will judge the people. The End." <br /><br /><br />Those who know St. Malachys way of describing the popes will be able to follow this logic.<br />Here is a description of Peter the Roman and the new pope.<br /><br />Petrus Romanus or 'Peter the Roman' is the supposed name of the very last pope in the prophecy of the popes by 12th centruy saint Maelmhaedhoc Ó Morgair, better known as St. Malachy. Pope Francis is the last pope of the prophecy as far as numbers go but is he Petrus Romanus? <br /> <br />Francis of Assisi is known for Rocca Maggiore, which means Big Rock, which is the meaning of the name “Peter,”<br />so, Pope Francis is named for Francis of Assisi – Francis of Big Rock.<br /> <br />Nostradamus’ Quatrain 49:<br /> <br />Nul de l’Espaigne mais de l’antique France,<br />Ne sera esleu pour le tremblant nacelle,<br />A l’ennemy sera faicte fiance,<br />Qui dans son regne sera peste cruelle.<br /> <br />Not from Spain but from ancient France,<br />Will be elected for the trembling ship [the Bark of St. Peter],<br />He will make a promise to the enemy,<br />Who will cause great plague during his reign.<br /> <br />Pope Francis’ parents are from Turin, which happens to be ancient France (Lombards and Charlemagne). Argentina apparently means “Old Spain,” so Francis is not from Argentina but “ancient France” – true if one is speaking of his ancestors. More recently, his ancestors came from Rome/Italy, of course, so the new pope’s heritage is Roman/Italian.<br />Beyond this obscure thought is the fact that “berg” in German means “mountain” (but not Latin or Italian). And a mountain is also a rock when speaking symbolically (The Rock). It is true that with old phrasing, we are dealing with several languages including Latin, so some leeway needs to be given.<br /> <br />The new pope chose "Francis," referring to St. Francis of Assisi. St. Francis of Assisi's birth name was "Giovanni Francesco di PIETRO Bernardone. St. Francis' original name included “Peter.”<br /><br />Prepare accordingly to this prophesy!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08479460105453204463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6671698633085188281.post-45693252692741328632013-03-22T20:00:28.920-05:002013-03-22T20:00:28.920-05:00Josh, The Lord told me once to stop fasting becaus...Josh, The Lord told me once to stop fasting because I was doing it in the flesh.

So if you are right in your attitude and you stay on His path you are protected by Him. He knows our human mind and bodies. When we fast and stopped, and it was not ok to stop because you promissed something to God, you can just ask forgiveness. God sees our heart, that is more important than fasting itself. So give your situation to God, He knows you and will show you what is needed in your life. Don not be fearfull just read your bible and pray and God will let you know what to do. Read psalm 23 and 91 and remember, when your live is in Gods hand He will guide you even when you do not hear Him on a moment. Stay focused on Him.Revivalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02881494676044052053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6671698633085188281.post-81431538438878338492013-03-22T12:59:32.766-05:002013-03-22T12:59:32.766-05:00yeah i don't think it's me... but i think ...yeah i don't think it's me... but i think He def used it... the fast kinda made me give up..

Please read all ...Josh--God passionately loves you. Please read all the Bible verses you can find about God's love toward us and then *receive* that love instead of trying to earn it or to become perfect, etc. <br /><br />We cannot earn God's love--that's impossible. He loves us just as much today as He ever will, so what remains is for us to *receive* His love and let it change us. We cannot change ourselves--only God can do that. <br /><br />But from your comments here, I'm thinking that what you need most is to *relax* and fall in love with Jesus. Receive His love instead of trying to earn it. Walk with Jesus, go everywhere with a very real sense of His presence. He's there for you--and He promised to never, ever leave you.<br /><br />Jesus longs to be your closest friend, a friend closer than a brother--and true friends never torment each other. The torment you're feeling is so not coming from God(!), but rather, perhaps from expectations you or others have put upon yourself. <br /><br />God is a wonderful, caring father, the best, ever. So caring, so loving, that He sent His very best gift to us--His very son, Jesus. Jesus, who wants to have the closest, most loving relationship with you. Today. Just as you are.
