<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As I may have already intimated, my most successful images to day have been those of fire. So I've decided to showcase a selection of images from the <a title="Flames" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/neopol/sets/72157604564157982/" target="_blank">"Flames"</a> set from Flickr.</p>
<p>All these images where taken naturally with no post manipulation.</p>
<p>This image is entitled "Cauldron In The Flame". This was taken at a high shutter speed but low F stop. This image to me, seems to show a figure holding a cauldron or bowl inside a flame.</p>
<p><a title="Cauldron In The Flame by nEoPOL, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/neopol/2426970325/"> <img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3158/2426970325_c5b0a23f26.jpg" alt="Cauldron In The Flame" width="387" height="500" /></a></p>
<p>This image is entitled "Horror's End?". Again, this was taken at a high shutter speed but low F stop. It seems to clearly depict a image of a man or woman for that matter, seemingly suffering in a ring of fire.</p>
<p><a title="Horrors' End? by nEoPOL, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/neopol/2423578456/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3111/2423578456_b6a5d1c942.jpg" alt="Horrors' End?" width="500" height="316" /></a></p>
<p>This image is entitled "Hell's Angel" and simply depicts just that in my eyes. Also, it would seem to be a female form, based on the structure and pose. . This was taken at a high shutter speed but low F stop.</p>
<p><a title="Hell's Angel by nEoPOL, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/neopol/2419444512/"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2351/2419444512_69f0603554.jpg" alt="Hell's Angel" width="441" height="500" /></a></p>
<p>This image is entitled "Flaming Duck". This was taken at a high shutter speed but low F stop. This is one of the clearest images that has come out of this set. It lookd remarkably like a cartoon duck.</p>
<p><a title="Flaming Duck by nEoPOL, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/neopol/2421534840/"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2167/2421534840_a76da5f7d0.jpg" alt="Flaming Duck" width="410" height="500" /></a></p>
<p>This image is simply entitled "Flames", and you may have guest it from that, that this was the first image to be posted. It is a much simpler composition and is nothing more that a piece of paper burning, again at a low F stop and hight shutter. You may be able to make out the letter R withing the flame. This has happened at least twice during this set.</p>
<p><a title="Flames by nEoPOL, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/neopol/2408763588/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3058/2408763588_53c46049a5.jpg" alt="Flames" width="382" height="500" /></a></p>
<p>And finally, this image, entitled "Flaming Macro!", has often been seen to have certain sexual connotations, but in all honesty, I didn't see that until it was pointed out! But now, yes, I can see it. I was more taken with fluidity of the flames and the macro of the fir shot. This was taken at a high shutter speed and a higher F stop.</p>
<p><a title="Flaming Macro! by nEoPOL, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/neopol/2437147230/"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2073/2437147230_4eaccd579e.jpg" alt="Flaming Macro!" width="500" height="350" /></a></p>

<description><![CDATA[ (1 Cor 9:27 KJV)  But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means,]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">(1 Cor 9:27 KJV)  But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.  (1 Tim 6:12 KJV)  Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. 13  I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession; 14   That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:</span></p>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">I agree that the Bible clearly says our ongoing Christian walk is a daily spiritual battle with Satan, and sadly with some other of Satan's followers, men and women too. We are to continually chose God's way and not Satan, and not rather to give in to the devil, and then falsely justify it.</span></div>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">(Acts 7:51 KJV)  Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.</p>
<p>(2 Tim 3:8 KJV)  Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.</p>
<p>(James 4:7 KJV)  Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.</p>
<p>I continue to get, read grossly unrespectable, unacceptable  absurd,  false Responses, and  false justifications from  people and supporters of those who have wrongfully  indulged into sins of drugs, smoking, alcohol, stealing or what ever all of my life even from even liars, professing Christians, ongoing church goers, all persons whose minds, habits  now are rather controlled by Satan clearly as well, Now supporting such bad acts, habits, persons makes you in fact an unacceptable accomplice in these matters too.</p>
<p>YOU ARE STILL KNOWN BY WHAT YOU DO NOW.</p>
<p>(Mat 7:18 KJV)  A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.</p>
<p>(Luke 6:43 KJV)  For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.</p>
<p>(Mat 7:19 KJV)  Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.</p>
<p>(Mat 7:20 KJV)  Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.</p>
<p>(Mat 7:21 KJV)  Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.</p>
<p>(Luke 10:17 KJV)  And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.</p>
<p>(Rom 8:7 KJV)  Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.</p>
<p>(1 Pet 5:5 KJV)  Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.</p>
<p>(Prov 27:5 KJV)  Open rebuke is better than secret love.</p>
<p>(Prov 27:6 KJV)  Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.</p>
<p>(Eccl 7:5 KJV)  It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools.</p>
<p>(Eccl 7:6 KJV)  For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool: this also is vanity.</p>
<p>Mr. Spurgeon should have practice what he preached firstly for he could not give up his sin of smoking a cigar even. And too many other pastors did not and could not give up alcohol, drunkenness, adultery, cheating, lying stealing,, and what else?  Genuine Born Again Evangelical Christians are total abstainers from smoking, drugs, alcohol, cheating, lying, stealing, tax evasions, pornography, or rather all personal vices. Reality! These days it is too hard to tell the difference between secular persons and even evangelical pastors, Christians they seem to do the same things too. Why are alcoholics always in denial? and why do they often lie,  cheat, steal also now? Because if they do admit the truth they are alcoholics, sinners too  they do have now to repent of the sin of disobeying God’s word about being drunk too.. so they take the ostrich denial approach instead too often. Alcoholism still is a sin of a deliberate, personal choice, and to be set free you have to admit your sin, confess it, renounce it, ask God for forgiveness through Jesus Christ as well.. It is not only wrong for the average person it is also especially wrong for leaders in the government, politicians. It is amazing how one can quickly spot an alcoholic, while they cannot still see their sin, and how quick they are to oppose themselves being exposed now too..<br />
 <br />
I admit I had lost all respect for the supposedly great preacher Spurgeon who was so ready to preach to others about their sins, but he himself now could not resist  the Temptation of a cigar.  Similar we find out that other preachers could not give up smoking too.. Look at this reference in regard to AB Simpson, the past founder of the Christian Missionary Alliance denomination now too.  “The Man, the movement, and the mission-A documentary of the C&#38;MA”  Cut directly from their national web site. It was the custom for the ministers of the district to meet together to discuss all things common. This little reunion, in its proper sequence, was held one day at the Manse. And unaccountably strange odor of tobacco smoke began to steal upstairs. Suddenly the study door flew open and a towering figure of fury - all of four feet, one inch in its stocking feet - stood at the threshold. “SMOKING! Out of this house!” said Grannie Simpson, and in a body the ministerial association moved.  https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15796002&#38;postID=3424830162204895882    http://reversion-clause.com/</p>
<p>(Eccl 7:7 KJV)  Surely oppression maketh a wise man mad; and a gift destroyeth the heart.</p>
<p>(Eccl 7:8 KJV)  Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.</p>
<p>(Eccl 7:9 KJV)  Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools.</p>
<p>Genuine Born Again even Evangelical Christians are total abstainers from smoking, drugs, alcohol, cheating, lying, stealing, tax evasions, pornography, or rather all personal vices. And if you took 2 martinis or 2 beers a day you are an alcoholic. Alcoholism is a crime and not a disease, it is a crime, it is just as lethal, bad, and it is really unacceptable as selling or taking bad drugs too. Canada’s  bad drug problem, drunk driving, alcoholism is increasing not just amongst the teens, but also in the work place, in the government now as well even amongst the civil and public servants. Most major home violence, car or truck accidents are still associated with alcohol now too and not speeding. It’s a fact that  drinking alcohol can seriously damage one’s health and cause permanent brain damage as well .Alcohol may lead to liver problems, a variety of cancers as well as forms of osteoporosis and depression, and studies are showing, too, that women are more susceptible to the ill effects of alcohol than are men. . Not one cent of taxpayer’s money should be ever used in the governments, civil  and public servants, expense accounts  to buy alcohol, wine  or beer.<br />
 <br />
Reality! These days it is too hard to tell the difference between secular persons and even evangelical pastors, Christians they seem to do the same things too. Why are alcoholics and smokers now too, sinners, always in denial? and why do they often lie,  cheat, steal also now? Because if they do admit the truth they are alcoholics, sinners too  they do have now to repent of the sin of disobeying God’s word about being drunk too.. so they take the ostrich denial approach instead too often. Alcoholism still is a sin of a deliberate, personal choice, and to be set free you have to admit your sin, confess it, renounce it, ask God for forgiveness through Jesus Christ as well.. It is not only wrong for the average person it is also especially wrong for leaders in the government, politicians. It is amazing how one can quickly spot an alcoholic, while they cannot still see their sin, and how quick they are to oppose themselves being exposed now too..</p>
<p>and what other pastoral, supposedly acceptable Christian  vices now are now being PERMITTED falsely today,  the handing out of beer, wine, alcoholic beverages, playboy, pornography, acts of cheating, lying, stealing, STEALING THE TITHES, adultery, tax evasions still? WE ALL DO NEED to have a right attitudes, WALK WITH JESUS CHRIST  EVEN  all of leaders, pastors, elders too, and they have to lead by a good personal example too.<br />
 <br />
Even the most anointed man or woman, preacher  of God clearly still can be wrong, biased, have a hidden agenda, limited, (or just shallow) in their understanding or interpretation of certain Bible topics, subjects. Do not believe any man or women, rather solely Take God’s word for it.<br />
 <br />
We all should by now know that alcoholism is a terrible sin  that now damages the person’s brain, affects their ability  to work, to drive a car, and negatively affects their own behavior and affects many others too. The same reality is true of one taking now bad drugs as well. So I was also similarly shocked, surprised to discover the the falsely professing evangelical Christian Stephen Harper our Prime Minister likes to consume wine, alcohol, and he buys it for others as well. Beyond a Biblical doubt the Genuine Born Again Evangelicals are total abstainers, like me, I never drink or touch wine or alcohol, at any time, nor do I give playboy, pornography, wine or wine glasses to anyone.<br />
 <br />
““Dr. Daniel Akin, President of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary has written an article in favor of the famous Resolution #5 (Resolution calling for total opposition to alcohol). Alcohol is the number one drug problem among teenagers. (1 Cor. 8:13; 9:19-22; 10:32-33). Because I am an example to others, I will make certain no one ever walks the road of sorrow called alcoholism because they saw me take a drink and assumed, “if it is alright for him it is alright for me.” No, I will choose to set an uncompromising example of abstinence because I love them.  I will seek my joy and filling in the Spirit not in alcohol. I love the Phillips translation of Ephesians 5:18 which reads, “Don’t get your stimulus from wine (for there is always the danger of excessive drinking), but let the Spirit stimulate your souls.” Psalm 4:7-8 adds, “You [O Lord] have put more joy in my heart than they have when their grain and wine abound. In peace I will both lie down and sleep; for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.”  There is no record that Jesus drank strong drink,  As a pastor or church leader, would I demand abstinence for  leadership? Absolutely! The principle of Proverbs 31:4-5 is appropriately applied here, “It is not for Kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine, or for rulers to take strong drink, lest they drink and forget what has been decreed and pervert the rights of all the afflicted.” “<br />
 <br />
(1 Cor 11:28 KJV)  But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. 29  For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body. 30   For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. 31  For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. (Prov 3:33 KJV)  The curse of the LORD is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.</p>
<p> <br />
Jesus himself had said that professing to be a Christian is not enough,  one rather can  tell what a person is really like by what he does,  a True Christian is one who evidently is controlled by the Spirit of God and not by  self, sin, a real Christian is one where thus anyone can clearly see by the evidence of the fruit of the Holy Spirit, including even self control.</p>
<p>Matt 3:8 Bring forth fruit that is consistent with repentance [let your lives prove your change of heart];</p>
<p>Gal 5:23 Gentleness (meekness, humility), self-control (self-restraint, continence). Against such things there is no law [that can bring a charge].</p>
<p>Matt 7:16 You will fully recognize them by their fruits. Do people pick grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?17 Even so, every healthy (sound) tree bears good fruit [worthy of admiration], but the sickly (decaying, worthless) tree bears bad (worthless) fruit. 18 A good (healthy) tree cannot bear bad (worthless) fruit, nor can a bad (diseased) tree bear excellent fruit [worthy of admiration].  19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and cast into the fire. 20 Therefore, you will fully know them by their fruits.  1 Tim 3:2 Now a bishop (superintendent, overseer) must give no grounds for accusation {but} must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, circumspect {and} temperate {and} self-controlled; [he must be] sensible {and} well behaved {and} dignified and lead an orderly (disciplined) life; [he must be] hospitable [showing love for and being a friend to the believers, especially strangers or foreigners, and be] a capable {and} qualified teacher,</p>
<p>Alcoholics, wine drinkers, smokers, drug users, cheaters, liars, slandereres, absuers, liars, tax evaders  too they all  tend to have evidentially lost their self control..</p>
<p>I have often rightfully said to many preachers I would rather see them first by example live the life of Christ instead of merely preaching it others.  Preaching the Gospel is not an valid alternative to living it.  I even do know People who profess to be Christians and they are Alcoholics too.. but they are not Christians… They fool themselves only as to who they still really are too.</p>
<p>By their own fruits Jesus said to us all you can tell what they are really like still.</p>
<p>..(Prov 16:25 KJV)  There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.</p>
<p>(Mat 7:20 KJV)  Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. 21  Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22  Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23  And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. 24  Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 25  And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. 26  And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:<br />
 <br />
 &#62; I did not know that smoking is a sin?</p>
<p> </p>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">Impaired means  when Mental awareness, alertness and function do also come under a dulling, slowing effect. This hinders our mental ability in everyday activity and restricts or cuts off our mental fellowship with the Holy Spirit speaking to our mind from our spirit. A person who has the smoking or drinking habit, in honesty, must label themselves an “addict” too. in bondage to Satan and the flesh and the lust thereof. Alcoholism, Smoking, lying, stealing, slander  is demonic, which is why it is so hard to stop on your own and they all are  not compatible with the Christian experience.  These sinful  problems are next forcing negative consequences on other “innocent” people  Co-workers, family and even  children are victims .  Christians are definitely thus not to be “stumbling blocks” to others.  Matthew 18: 6, 7, “But who so shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depths of the sea. Woe unto the world because of offenses! For it must needs be that offenses come; but woe to that man by whom the offense cometh!”<br />
 <br />
Also smoking is “burning incense to other (demon) gods”. II Kings 22:17, II Kings 23:5; II Chronicles 28:25, 34:24, 34:25; Jeremiah 1:16, 7:9, 11:12, 19:4; Chapter 44, 48:35.<br />
 <br />
To receive complete freedom from these sinful  bondages, the Believer must see his “habit” or being “hooked” as a spiritually rooted problem and confess it as a deliberate sin of Disobedience to God too. Acknowledging lust, Alcohol, tobacco, cigarettes, drugs, lying, stealing, marijuana  and smoking as sin is prerequisite. Personal Confession of the sin according to (1 John 1:9 KJV)  If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10   If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.and we all must choose to submit to God according to (James 4:7 KJV)  Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8  Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. 9  Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. 10   Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.<br />
 <br />
next , places the Believer on proper ground for the unclean spirits to be cast out of them<br />
 <br />
and whether Smoking it is legal or not legal basically is not the issue in the sight of God.. but when you clearly have lost self control,  it also alters your judgment and your ability to perceive reality. on top of that you now are a prisoner to a bad habit of smoking , the very clear source of the bad habit is the devil now as well and not God.. and if you cannot see this it is either cause you do not want to or are in false denial… Half of the world knows that smoking cigarettes even is bad for you, it is a vice, and  it causes cancer, linked to gum disease, destroys the body and you did not realize it was sinful? either you are lying to me, lying yourself others or you are being deliberate ignorant. Smoking is not without potential real negative consequences and yes anyone would be an absolute fool not to factor that truth now as well . One cannot honestly claim to be using alcohol, smoking or marijuana for any purpose other than to falsely intoxicate oneself. to lose self control. One is not getting you closer to God by being intoxicated , but moving you away from Him. You’re doing the weed for YOURSELF, serving the sinful sinful self, the flesh now in reality. You are to die to self, the flesh and all of it’s lust thereof  as a Christian now still too. The ends do not justify now the mans still as well.<br />
 <br />
 1 Corinthians  10:31 (King James Version)   Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.<br />
 <br />
1 Corinthians 3:16-17 (King James Version) 16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.<br />
 <br />
Christians are always to remain SOBER too. 1 Thessalonians 5:8 (King James Version) 8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. Sober, obedient and not given to lusts of the flesh. 1 Peter 1:13-14 (King James Version)  13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; 14 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:<br />
 <br />
Ephesians 5:11-21 (King James Version) 11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them  12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. 13 But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. 14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. 15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, 16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. 17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. 18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit 19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms.</span></div>

<description><![CDATA[Some of you know this, and wow, this is a big step for me to come out in the open. I am the archange]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some of you know this, and wow, this is a big step for me to come out in the open. I am the archangel Sariel. I began writing what I had intended to be a work of fiction. I based my main character on myself, and I wrote the introduction with an intense passion and fervor that I have never experienced before even with my extensive history of writing. Things were flowing out of the pen that I knew to be truths, yet I had never acknowledged before. I am an archangel, with a mission (a mission I am still unfolding), a mission that I chose due to my distinct characteristics. When I went to name this character with all of my heart poured into it on paper, I asked, "what is my name?" The answer was clear and LOUD! Sariel! There was no questioning it, there was no "up in the air" ideas of other names. My hand wrote it without thinking twice. </p>
<p>The other day I had an experience that nearly brought me to tears. The wind was blowing at me from either side, and as I sat with my eyes closed I could feel my wings! It was a hugely empowering and moving experience. They were unfolded and stretched towards heaven, and they were absolutely huge, bigger than any picture I've ever seen of angels' wings. As I sat there feeling them I saw them within my mind's eye. They are brown/golden but not metallic with purple tinges, with an (you guessed it) indigo aura surrounding them. I'm almost crying again writing this. </p>
<p>As I walked through the bookstore one day I was drawn to a reddish/burgundy colored book with the title "The book of the prophet Enoch". Enoch speaks of "The Watchers" or "Fallen Archangels" that came to Earth and interbred with us. Enoch paints a not exactly nice picture of "The Watchers", and alludes to making the reader think that "The Watchers" are some kind of bad angels. True, I did think I was a bad person most of my life having done nothing wrong. When I was six years old I blamed my Grandfather's death on myself thinking there was something I could have done to prevented it. Enoch actually lists who is who in the group of "Watchers", and yup, Sariel is on that list. The thing I've come to learn is, that I am not bad, and that God still loves me, and has not left me for lost. </p>
<p>The history of Sariel, from what I've read and what has been channeled by angels to me goes like this. Enoch aside, I/Sariel came to Earth originally because of my love for humanity, because I have a passion for the immense potential we have. Seeing how wondrous humans are I came to Earth to nurture and teach them about science (my Father used to buy me NASA and Hubble telescope books when I was small because I wanted to learn about astronomy so much; my thirst for the knowledge of science has since evolved into astrobiology, geology, and paleobiology - coincidence? I think not). I now have a position teaching highschool kids about paleontology. </p>
<p>~~~</p>
<p>Sariel in heaven was a warrior, which explains my "spiritual warrior" fixation for me. I've read that some ancient soldiers used to actually write the name Sariel on their shields as a form of protection. </p>
<p>In heaven, the archangels Michael and Raziel were my closest friends. I've always spoken to Michael as a dear old friend, I ask him for help the way I'd ask someone I considered to love me. I've always known Raziel in my heart, but did not have a name for him until recently. The more I read about myself/Sariel in history, the more I gasp and go, "Oh that explains that!" </p>
<p>I was very, very, very nervous to write this. But I cannot hide this from the world any longer. There will be some people that will label me a kook, but I believe that the good that will come from being true to myself will far outweigh any kookiness that may come back to me. </p>
<p>I am still writing my work of "fiction" ;) *wink* and hope to eventually get it published. Thank you for being a friend that I could write this to. You are all such wonderful people with such divine origins and unique gifts. I trust you all.</p>
<p>P.S. While designing a wooden box for my sculpture class one day, I blanked out, and when I "awoke" I saw that I had drawn a symbol...</p>
<p>I knew immediately that it was the symbol for my real name. If anyone knows anything about angel script please, please, please enlighten me as I have found very little information on angel script. </p>
<p>Namaste,<br />
Sariel</p>

<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sint-katelijne-waver/1696271750/">Alfa et omega. The beginning &#38; the end.</a></p>
<p></span>Originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/sint-katelijne-waver/">Sint-Katelijne-Waver</a></div>
<p align="left"><span style="color:#808080;"><em><strong>This homily has been posted with the direct and generous permission of the late Fr. Thomas Harding, Th.D. (1918-2005).</strong> </em></span></p>
<p align="left">Because 1998 was the year of the Holy Spirit it is important that we emphasize the role of the Holy Spirit in the PLAN OF GOD and in this period of the history of the Church from the First Pentecost until the end of time and for all eternity.</p>
<p align="left">In the Apostles' Creed we say: <em>"I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the Communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and life everlasting. Amen."</em></p>
<p align="left">In the Nicene Creed we say: <em>"We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son, He is worshipped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets. We believe in One Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen."</em></p>
<h4 style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#ff6600;"><strong>The Holy Spirit in the Old Testament</strong></span></h4>
<p>There are Biblical texts dealing with the Spirit of God from the Book of Genesis in the Old Testament to the Book of Revelation in the New Testament. We will mention a few of the familiar ones.</p>
<p>In Genesis 1:1-2a:4a we read <em>"In the beginning, God created heaven and earth and the earth was void and empty and darkness was on the face of the deep and the Spirit of God moved over the waters. Then God said ‘Let there be light', and there was light God saw how good the light was." </em>This is actually the second account of creation by the Priestly author of a later date.</p>
<p>The first account by the author known as YAHWIST because he referred to God as YAHWEH is in Genesis 2:4-7 where we read: <em>"At the time when God made the earth and the heavens while as yet there was no field shrub on the earth and no grass of the field had sprouted, for the Lord God had sent no rain upon the earth and there was no man to till the soil but a stream was welling up out of the earth and was watering all the suiface of the ground The Lord God formed man out of the clay of the ground and blew into his nostrils the breath of life and so man became a living being."</em></p>
<p>The YAHWIST has no interest in the formation of cosmic light or the sun, moon and stars as Father George Montague says in his book entitled <em>The Holy Spirit: Growth of a Biblical Tradition, </em>because his interest is restricted to the earth and the things that immediately touch human life: water, earth, the sown land, animals, woman. His interest is centred in man who is ADAM for the ADAMAH, earthman from the earth.</p>
<p>Other popular texts from the Old Testament referring to the Holy Spirit or adaptable to His action are as follows:</p>
<p>In Isaiah 11:2-3. we read: <em>"The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him; a Spirit of wisdom and understanding, a Spirit of counsel and strength. a Spirit of knowledge and of fear of the Lord and his delight shall be the fear of the Lord." </em>There is no explicit mention of piety in this text but it may be included in the opening words of the quotation. At any rate these Isaiah gifts are the general characteristics of the Messiah who is to come and, we hope. of his future followers who receive the Holy Spirit and His gifts in Baptism and Confirmation.</p>
<p>In Jeremiah 31:31-33, we read: <em>"I will make a new covenant... I will put my law within them and I will write it upon their hearts."</em></p>
<p>In the prophet Ezekiel 36:26, we read, <em>"I will give you a new heart and place a new Spirit within you, taking from your bodies your stony hearts and giving you natural hearts." </em></p>
<p>In the prophet Joel 3:1-2, we read: <em>"I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh. Your sons and daughters shall prophesy. Your old men will dream dreams, your young men shall see visions. Even upon the servants and handmaids, I will pour out my Spirit."</em></p>
<p>As we say in the Nicene Creed: <em>"He" </em>that is, <em>"the Holy Spirit spoke through the prophets." </em>He truly spoke through all the prophets of the Old Testament and through Jesus Christ, the Priest, Prophet and King of the New Testament!</p>
<p>The Holy Spirit by His Inspiration is the Principal Author of the books of both Testaments. And yet it is difficult to find a direct quotation from the Holy Spirit Himself in the Scriptures. There are many indications of the Holy Spirit speaking in the New Testament:</p>
<p>MATTHEW 10:19-21 <em>"When they hand you over, do not worry about what you will say or how you will say it. When the hour comes you will be given what you are to say. You yourselves will not be the speakers; the Spirit of your Father will be speaking in you.." </em>This is commonly referred to as <em>"the Dabitur Vobis" </em>which translated into English means: <em>"It will be given to you."</em></p>
<p>Another oft-quoted text in this regard is JOHN 3-8: <em>"The wind blows where it will you hear the sound it makes but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone begotten by the Spirit."</em></p>
<p>The text of Paul to the Romans 8:26-27 is very comforting for all of us: <em>"The Spirit too helps us in our weakness, for we do not know how to pray as we ought; but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in speech. He who searches hearts knows what the Spirit means, for the Spirit intercedes for the saints as God Himself wills." </em>Again St. Paul says in I Corinthians 12:3 just before he lists the charismatic gifts of the Holy Spirit: <em>"And no one can say ‘Jesus is Lord' except in the Spirit."</em> So when you pray, be open to the Holy Spirit and He will take over. Invite Him to take over and your prayer life will improve immensely.</p>
<p>Thus the Holy Spirit is constantly in communication with the Church and with her members from within. We are Temples of the Holy Spirit and since He is dwelling within us, we receive His messages directly in our minds and hearts and it is our obligation to accept them and act upon them.</p>
<h4 style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#ff6600;"><strong>The Holy Spirit in The New Testament</strong></span></h4>
<p>In his constitution on Confirmation in 1971, Pope Paul VI said the New Testament shows how the Holy Spirit assisted Jesus Christ throughout His whole Messianic Mission:</p>
<p>1) At the Annunciation the Angel Gabriel said to Mary:<em> "The Holy Spirit will come upon you and that which you conceive will be called the Son of God." </em>Luke 1:35</p>
<p>2) On receiving the Baptism of John the Baptist, St. John the Evangelist said: <em>"I beheld the Holy Spirit descending upon Him like a dove and it stayed upon Him!" </em>John 1:32</p>
<p>3) After His Baptism, St. Mark said:<em> "He was led by the Spirit into the desert and He was in the desertforforty days and forty nights, being tempted the while by Satan; and He was with the wild beasts and the angels came and ministered to Him." </em>Mark 1:12-13</p>
<p>4) Teaching the people of Nazareth, He showed by what he said that the words of Isaiah referred to Himself: <em>"the Spirit of the Lord is upon me." </em>Luke 4: 17-21</p>
<p>5) He later promised before He suffered that <em>"the Holy Spirit would help them to bear fearless witness to their faith before persecutors." </em>Luke 12:12</p>
<p>6) The night before He died, He assured His Apostles that <em>"He would send the Spirit of Truth upon them from the Father." </em>John 15:26</p>
<p>7) After His Resurrection, He promised the coming descent of the Holy Spirit: <em>"You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes down upon you and you Will be my witness in Jerusalem in all Judea and in Samaria and even to the ends of the earth." </em>Acts 1:8. He had told them: <em>"not to depart from Jerusalem but to wait for the promise of the Father." </em>Acts 1:4</p>
<p>8 ) After praying for nine days in the upper room: <em>"the Apostles and the disciples with Mary, the mother of Jesus and the women and the brothers were ready to receive the Spirit " </em>Acts 1:13-14</p>
<p>9) On the tenth day it is reported:<em> "When the day of Pentecost came, all the believers were gathered together in one place. Suddenly, there was a noise from the sky which sounded like a strong wind blowing and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. Then they saw what looked like tongues of fire which spread out and touched each person there. They were all filled with the Iioij' Spirit and began to talk in other languages as the Holy Spirit enable them to speak." </em>Acts 2:1-4</p>
<p>10) The Church was born and the believers began to preach the Good News: <em>"There were Jews living in Jerusalem, religious people who had come from every country in the world. When they heard this noise, a large crowd gathered. They were all excited because they heard the believers talking in their own languages. In amazement and wonder they exclaimed: "These people who are talking like this are Galileans! How is it then, that all of us hear them speaking in our own native languages? We are from Parthia, Media and Elam from Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia; from Pontus and Asis, from Phrygia and Pamphylia, from Egypt and the regions of Libya near Cyrene. Some of us are from Rome, but Jews and Gentiles converted to Judaism and some of us are from Crete and Arabia -yet all of us hear them speaking in our own languages about the great things God has done.<strong>"</strong></em> Acts 2:5-11</p>
<h4 style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#ff6600;"><strong>Titles of the Holy Spirit</strong></span></h4>
<p>1)<em> </em>Advocate:<em> "These things I have spoken to you while yet dwelling with you.</em><em> But the Advocate, whom the Father will send in my name, He will teach you all things and will bring to mind whatever I have said to you." </em>John 14:26 Advocate means lawyer, one who pleads our case.</p>
<p>2)<em> </em>Paraclete:<em> </em><em>"But I speak the truth to you; it is expedient for you that I depart For if I do not go, the Paraclete will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you." </em>John 16:7-8 Paraclete means "Comforter", one who gives strength.</p>
<p>3)<em> </em>The Spirit of Truth:<em> "But when the Advocate has come, the Spirit of Truth who proceeds from the Father, He will bear witness concerning me."</em><em> </em>John 15:26</p>
<p>4)<em> </em>The Love of God Personified:<em> "And hope does not disappoint because the Love of God is poured forth in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.</em><em> </em>Romans <em>5:5</em></p>
<p align="left">Father Bernard J. F. Lonergan, S.J., the great Canadian Theologian uses this text to contrast the Apostles' love of God before and after the coming of the Holy Spirit on the First Pentecost. For example, Peter loved the Lord with a human love on the first Good Friday and he denied Him three times during the Passion. However, after the descent of the Holy Spirit, he loved the Lord with the love of God, or with divine love and thus he was able to face persecution and he even asked that he be crucified upside down because he was unworthy to die like the Lord.</p>
<p align="left">There are other titles for the Holy Spirit such as: Comforter, Sanctifier, the promised One of the Father, and the Inner Teacher, the Spirit of the Father and the Spirit of the Son.</p>
<h4 style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#ff6600;"><strong>Symbols of the Holy Spirit</strong></span><span style="text-decoration:underline;"> </span></h4>
<p align="left">1) A Dove: The dove has long been a sign of peace, gentleness and hope. <em>"And the Holy Spirit descended upon Him in bodily form, like a dove. A voice came from Heaven: ‘You are my Son, the Beloved with whom I am well pleased" </em>Luke 3:22</p>
<p align="left">2) Wind: The word <em>SPIRIT </em>is etymologically from the word <em>BREATH</em> <em>or WIND. </em>Invisible and formless, the wind can caress us or overwhelm us with its power. <em>"The wind blows where it chooses, and you hear the sound of it, but you do know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit."</em> John 3:8</p>
<p align="left"><em>"And when the days of Pentecost were drawing to a close, they were altogether in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a mighty wind blowing and it filled the whole house where they were sitting." </em>Acts 2:1-2</p>
<p align="left">3) Fire: Fire consumes and purifies, warms us and lights our path. <em>"Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them and a tongue settled upon each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit." </em>Acts, 2:3-4</p>
<p align="left">4) Water: Water cleanses and refreshes, yet its power can carve a mountainside. <em>"Those who drink of the water that I will give them will never be thirsty; but the water that I will give shall become a fountain of water springing up unto life everlasting."</em> John 4:13-15</p>
<p align="left"><em>"On the last and most important day of the festival Jesus stood up and said in a loud voice, ‘Whoever is thirsty should come to me and drink As the scripture says, ‘Whoever believes in me, streams of life-giving water will pour out from his heart Jesus said this about the Spirit, which those who believed in him were going to receive. At that time the Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus had not been raised to glory. </em>John 7:37-39</p>
<p align="left">This text is used to illustrate the growth in the Spirit in those who are living The life in the Spirit.</p>
<h4 style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#ff6600;"><strong>The Holy Spirit and the Church</strong></span></h4>
<p align="left">God the Father's plan was to raise all the members of the human race to a participation of the divine life. When Adam sinned, He did not abandon human beings but sent His son Jesus Christ into the world as the Saviour and Redeemer. Christ inaugurated the Church, the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. He is the HEAD OF THE CHURCH.</p>
<p align="left">When the work of redemption was completed, God the Father and God the Son sent God the Holy Spirit into the world that He might continually sanctify the Church and guide her until the end of time to preserve her from error and all dangers. The Holy Spirit, who is the Soul and the Life of the Church, gives her infallibility and indefectibility. He makes sure that the Church is One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic for all time to come.</p>
<p align="left">Moreover, <em>each member of the Church receives the Holy Spirit in the Sacraments of Baptism and Confirmation along with His Gifts and Fruits and all the other wonderful effects of these sacraments. </em>(Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, Vatican II, Numbers 2-8 )</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is very simple to install a water feature small in size. The sun glistens on the moving water creating visuals of dancing diamonds glistening in the sun and the sound is incredibly soothing for the soul.</p>
<p>You can purchase a fountain kit with all of the components or create your own. All you need to create a water fountain is:  a pump, a container for water, an electrical source/cord, <a href="http://shivere.wordpress.com/2008/03/04/statues-fountains-and-art-in-baby-memorial-gardens/">a statue</a> or pot for the water to cascade from.</p>
<p>Dig a hole slightly larger than the size of your container and make sure it is level before filling with water. Tamp down with a mallet to ensure it will be level. Then will it with water.</p>
<p><a href="http://greensborogardens.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/img_3170.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-395" src="http://greensborogardens.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/img_3170.jpg?w=224" alt="" width="224" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>I found cheap labor close by.</p>
<p><a href="http://greensborogardens.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/img_3169.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-397" src="http://greensborogardens.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/img_3169.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="224" /></a></p>
<p>Make sure the temperature is just right.</p>
<p><a href="http://greensborogardens.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/img_3171.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-399" src="http://greensborogardens.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/img_3171.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="224" /></a></p>
<p>I think he approves.</p>
<p><a href="http://greensborogardens.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/img_3172.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-400" src="http://greensborogardens.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/img_3172.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="224" /></a></p>
<p>Then place your fountain piece on a cinder block or other material so it is raised out of the water. Remember, the higher the fountain is from the water, the more the water will disappear from blowing wind. Plug it in and you have an instant water fountain. Birds will love it too.</p>
<p><a href="http://greensborogardens.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/img_3176.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-402" src="http://greensborogardens.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/img_3176.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="224" /></a></p>
<p>There are so many different ways to dress up your fountain area. I have inserted a stone on top of the cinder block and around the back side of the angel fountain. This will create more interest and eventually plants will soften the back of the stone. The stone will get very hot in the summer and planting the annual purple gomphrena will do the job. A few pieces of stone left over from another project like a <a href="http://greensborogardens.wordpress.com/2008/03/20/retaining-wall-ideas-and-suggestions/">retaining wall</a> or <a href="http://greensborogardens.wordpress.com/2008/03/18/stone-patios-for-outdoor-parties/">stone patios</a> will suffice.</p>
<p><a href="http://greensborogardens.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/img_3188.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-404" src="http://greensborogardens.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/img_3188.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="224" /></a></p>
<p>Evergreen blue spruce and voodoo sedum are planted around the container and will eventually hide the plastic. The foliage color <a href="http://greensborogardens.wordpress.com/2008/03/28/color-texture-in-foundation-landscapes/">compliments and contrasts</a> with the angel fountain.</p>
<p><a href="http://greensborogardens.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/img_3187.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-403" src="http://greensborogardens.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/img_3187.jpg?w=224" alt="" width="224" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Since this is not the focal point and only an accent in my front garden, I have positioned the angel fountain for me to enjoy from my kitchen window.</p>
<p><a href="http://greensborogardens.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/img_32001.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-408" src="http://greensborogardens.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/img_32001.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="224" /></a></p>
<p>Have fun with your fountains and try different colored annuals surrounding your water fountain each year.</p>
<p><a href="http://greensborogardens.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/img_3200.jpg"></a></p>
<p><a href="http://greensborogardens.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/img_3204.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-405" src="http://greensborogardens.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/img_3204.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="224" /></a></p>

<description><![CDATA[There is a definite personal, unacceptable DISPENSATIONAL trend  amongst many fundamental Evangelic]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Tahoma;">There is a definite personal, unacceptable DISPENSATIONAL trend  amongst many fundamental Evangelicals, and some Pentecostals to falsely try to discredit the present involvement of GOD HIMSELF INTO HUMAN AFFAIRS, HUMAN ACTIVITIES. This false attempt to limit God's present earthly activities is not only demonically inspired, but it is a false attempt to cover-up the existing personal inadequacies of many of the so called professing Christians who clearly to date are really only not still not fully Holy Spirit filled, anointed, even as a direct result of the fact they are living a self centered life, have not died to Jesus Christ, are not anointed, are basically not servants of God, are not serving God, but they really have not made Jesus Lord of their whole life too. One can see evidence of such persons by the actual definition of the term Christian  itself, One group tries to define all Christians as merely  anyone who is a follower of Christ, whereas the other groups defines a Christian as one in whom one can see the fruits, works, the evidence of the anointing of Christ based on acts 10:38  (Acts 10:38 KJV)  How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. 39 And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree:</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:medium;color:#000000;font-family:Arial;">  </span></span></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:medium;color:#000000;font-family:Arial;">(Gal 1:8 KJV)  But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.</span></span></div>

<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">In 1 Corinthians 12 Paul lists out these gifts.  Any Spirit-filled Christian can eventually manifest or release any of these gifts as the Holy Spirit directs him.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">     </span></div>
<blockquote><p><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">Word of Wisdom - God's supernatural perspective on how to achieve His will. God's knowledge rightly applied to specific situations. </span><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">Word of Knowledge - "Facts" given by God that are unknowable without revelation. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">The Gift of Faith - The supernatural ability to believe God without doubt. Essential to the Gift of Healing and Miracles. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">The Gift of Healing - Supernatural healing through special anointing of the Holy Spirit. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">The Working of Miracles - A supernatural display of power that goes beyond the natural to counteract earthly and evil forces. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">Discerning of Spirits - Spiritual insight into differences between the Holy Spirit, the the spirit of Man, and evil spirits at work in the earth.  It is not the discerning of character faults. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">The Gift of Prophecy - The forth-telling of God's utterance.  It is not of the intellect but of the Spirit.  It is divinely inspired and anointed words spoken by a believer. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">Kinds of Tongues - This is not to be confused with the use of tongues in private prayer or worship.  This refers to the ministry of tongues to others.  An utterance from a believer to another in a language unknown to the speaker. (Isaiah 28:11; Mark 16:17; Acts 2:4; 10:44-48; 19:1-7; 1 Corinthians 12:10; 13:1-3; 14:2,4-22,26-31; 28:31) </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">Interpretation of Tongues - Supernatural power to reveal the meaning of tongues.  Not a translation, but an interpretation.  Tongues and Interpretation working together can be the equivalent of prophecy.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">The working of these nine Gifts is for the profit and advantage of the Church.  They are for the benefit of the Church and are specifically available to every believer as the Holy Spirit wills. (1Corinthians 12:7-11; 14:12).  They should all be actively welcomed and expected in your life. (1Corinthians 14:1) </span></p></blockquote>
<p><strong><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">HOW MANY GIFTS DO WE GET?</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">The Holy Spirit distributes His gifts to each believer severally as He wills. (1 Corinthians 12:11)  It is not up to us how many gifts we want or are willing to use but up to the Holy Spirit to give whatever He wants to whoever He wants whenever He wants.  It is up to us to appreciate all of them and to allow the Holy Spirit to use us in any of them to minister to others. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is God's way of empowering us to manifest His love to His Church and to cleanse us and make us holy.  We need therefore to acknowledge that love is necessary for the proper use of the Gifts - faith works by love.(Galations 5:6)  Love edifies others (1Corinthians 8:1) as God has shown His love for you by giving you faith to believe in and trust in and cling to and rely on Jesus.  Repent of anything that would hold you back from experiencing and walking in His fullness through the Baptism in the Holy Spirit.  Ask Him for it.  Receive it.  Freely it has been given to you - now freely give. (Matthew 10:8)   </span></p>
<p align="center"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>And we are witnesses of these things;</strong><br />
<strong>and so is the Holy Spirit,</strong><br />
<strong>whom God has given to those who obey Him.</strong><strong>  </strong></span>Acts 5:32</span></span></p>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;color:#000000;font-family:Arial;">(1 John 1:3 KJV)  That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;color:#000000;font-family:Arial;">My serious interest on the subject of the Holy Spirit started at an early age, around the time I was 25, even cause I had asked my evangelical Baptist Church pastor if there was such thing today as empowering from God to live the Christian life.. when he replied no, and  because sadly I knew he basically was not to be trusted I decided that  I should look more seriously into the topic,  so I stared to read many   Books, and the Bible on the subject of the Holy Sprit next. When I next read the testimonies of others, it was clearly evident, undeniable  that some Christians  had experienced dramatic changes in heir personal life as a result of knowing Christ, and being filled with the holy spirit, even more dramatically than others too. Why the difference. And as I continued my study it became very evident that not everyone who professed to be a Christian, pastors, elders included were even firstly Christians. Imagine that church pastors were falsely still even reading clearly secular books to know more about God. It also became clear that many professing Christians were not serving God, but doing their own thing, serving themselves, or were trying to please others, mere men and women, or their denominations too. We have more perversion than power, more compromise than conviction and more playboys in the pulpit than prophets.  Because of their own sinful nature, human limitations next  falsely Men still try to limit God today as to what he God can and cannot do today with His Holy Spirit now as well by next their own false obstructions, confusions, distortions, over simplifications,  lies too. Me too there was a time in my life when I thought I was now saved and I had it all, but that was certainly not true. But man still cannot prevail against God, the light, the truth ever.  There is power available to you also to personally to overcome: disease, despair, defeat, sickness, sin and Satan! You can now have power over every attack of the devil! And I ask right now, Come, Lord Jesus, and fill these people full of the Holy Spirit. </span></div>

<div><span style="font-size:medium;color:#000000;font-family:Arial;">(Luke 2:26 KJV)  And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;color:#000000;font-family:Arial;">(2 Pet 1:21 KJV)  For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;color:#000000;font-family:Arial;">(2 Pet 3:2 KJV)  That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:</span></div>

<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;color:#000000;font-family:Arial;">(Isa 4:4 KJV)  When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;color:#000000;font-family:Arial;">(Micah 3:8 KJV)  But truly I am full of power by the spirit of the LORD, and of judgment, and of might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;color:#000000;font-family:Arial;">(Mat 12:28 KJV)  But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;color:#000000;font-family:Arial;">(Luke 4:1 KJV)  And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;color:#000000;font-family:Arial;">(Rom 8:14 KJV)  For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;color:#000000;font-family:Arial;">(1 Cor 6:11 KJV)  And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;color:#000000;font-family:Arial;">(1 Cor 12:8 KJV)  For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;color:#000000;font-family:Arial;">(2 Cor 3:18 KJV)  But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;color:#000000;font-family:Arial;">(1 Pet 3:18 KJV)  For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;color:#000000;font-family:Arial;">(1 Matt 3:24 KJV)  And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">(1 John 3:21 KJV)   I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: 2  Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">(Rev 3:15 KJV)  I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 16  So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">In fact it became evident not just in the Catholic, Orthodox Churches but even in Christian Plymouth Brethren, Baptist, Alliance and Pentecostal churches now too that in some professing persons, pastors, elders, deacons too,  there still was no difference in behavior between the professing Christian person and the typical unbeliever, unchristian persons. Many so called Christians it became clear also to me they did not have a definite experiences where they had made Jesus Christ the sole Lord of their life, as next even a Christian Missionary Alliance church pastor had admitted to me. Now if many pastors were not preaching, living the empowered Christian Life how could the rest of the flock be aware of it as well? So I next talked to many many more pastors, and discovered many of them did not use or know the Bible in evangelical churches, but firstly they did not have a definite experience where they knew that God had even called them into the ministry. They became pastors by their own choice and were rather too often mere "hirelings", in the Job merely as as any other person is in a secular career. It next also amazed me how many writers, preachers claimed to be experts on the Baptism of the Holy spirit, the anointing,  when they had even admitted that they had never experienced it themselves.. ridiculous, and so how can you be an expert on something you have never experienced too? Many people it seems still can be easily deceived by the devil that they are following and doing God's will when they clearly now are not. There is much too much filthy manna, begging and stealing money now associated with Christians and why? They Cleary are no living the real anointed life but doing their on selfish thing still too. Many professing Christians , pastors recognize their lack of holy sprit in their life, but instead of honestly confronting the reason why they next lie and say that the miracles ended when the last disciple died. When the Bible was finished being written. It was a temporary empowering.  When Jesus was on the Cross He cried out, "It is finished!" </span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">(Heb 13:8 KJV)  Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.  is alive today.. and he can be alive today in you and me too.  And John 4:4 states, "Greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world." </span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;color:#000000;font-family:Arial;">Well I got good news for you but power of the cross, the anointing, it was not over rather the posited it was just the beginning  Jesus vetoed sin and the crucifixion with His  resurrection by the Holy sprit, and then Jesus next  gave a tag team hand off to the Holy Ghost to all others. The same anointing of Holy Ghost power that gave Jesus the power to overcome Satan's power, temptation!! The Holy Ghost power and anointing can be yours, today!! This is the source of power to overcome Satan everyday of your life if you continue to follow after God, to obey and do his will daily. If you rebel from God do not expect this anointing to be of help to you. You need to willfully continue to walk humbly in the light, in Jesus himself still too. And if you let God do it, he will empower, equip you to do his will, equip you uniquely for service to him like he has done to many others. When Jesus was being tried in Pilate's court, Peter denied knowing Jesus three times. He didn't have enough courage to even say that he knew Jesus. let alone be His witness, but after the Holy Ghost fell on the 120 at Pentecost. What a difference!! The first sermon Peter preached, 3000 were converted. You can have this kind of power now in your life. Yes it's free for the asking humbly to all who already do believe and are baptized in Jesus as both their Savior and Lord. You are free to live the empowered life if you daily choose to do so, or you can next even daily choose to walk merely in your own sinful thing, in the flesh.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">Perhaps you still do feel you are not worthy to receive this power. Possibly some  have told you that this power is not for today. Or  you feel overcome by the pressures of life and don't know how to ask for the power of the Holy Ghost to take over your life.  Right now that all you need to do is simply to humbly ask God even again. The Bible says, "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning" (James 1:17). It is His desire that you receive everything He has for you! Tthe Bible declares it to be so!  " And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: And also upon the servants and upon the hand-maids in those days will I pour out my spirit" (Joel 2:28-29). It's still for as many who call upon the name of the Lord! </span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">(Mat 7:7 KJV)  Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:8  For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">(Luke 11:10 KJV)  For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.11  If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?12  Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?13  If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">(Gal 5:22 KJV)  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">(Gal 5:25 KJV)  If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;color:#000000;font-family:Arial;">Pass it on. The Lord wants to infuse you with an anointing, by the Holy Spirit, which will propel you through every line of Satan's defense. This is how you can overcome every situation as you receive "power from on high!" Our Lord Jesus Christ Himself was full of this power as He withstood the onslaught of the devil while fasting in the wilderness. The Bible records that John the Baptist baptized Jesus, the Lord of Glory, in the river Jordan prior to Him praying and fasting 40 days and 40 nights. At the end of this fast Satan came to Him and tempted Him in His spirit, soul and body to sin against God. But Jesus resisted Satan's offense with the statement, "It is written!" After this, Luke 4: 14 states, And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about. If Jesus, walking as a man, needed the power of the Holy Spirit to stand against the assault of the devil, I ask you, "How much more do we need the power of the Holy Spirit?"  There's a Holy Spirit revival coming, and it's can also be coming even through your words, through your hands and through your life!</span></div>
<div><span style="color:#000000;"><br />
<span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">Would you like to have God's Holy Ghost Power in your life? If so please pray this prayer  humbly. "</span></span><span style="font-size:medium;color:#000000;font-family:Arial;">Dear Heavenly Father. As per your promises in your word, the Bible do next  baptize me with your Holy sprit, power. I accept the promise of Acts 2: 38 &#38; 39 and the anointing power of the Holy Ghost. I ask to have the power that Apostles had received even in my life. I also do want the power to overcome Satan everyday, in all areas of life! Jesus you are my lord so by your Holy Spirit, please fill me now and take  full control of my life, my body  and even my tongue. Let my tongue now also give praises to God the Father and His Holy Son, Jesus in a Heavenly language. I put myself, my all under your full control. Amen!"</span></div>

<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">John 10:37-38 " If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. 38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father <em>is </em>in me, and I in him.  "</span></div>

<div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;color:#000000;font-family:Arial;">(2 John 1:5 KJV)  And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.</span></div>
<div> </div>
</div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span style="color:#993300;">(Luke 4:18 KJV)  The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, 19</span><span style="color:#993300;"> To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.</span></span></span></div>

<div> </div>
</div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><strong>The baptism of the Holy Spirit, the gifts of the Holy spirit, the Anointing , Tongues, Prophets,  Apostles, Miracle workers, tithing now too, the promised land, the prosperity gospel</strong> have become unarguably the most overused, overworked, misunderstood, misinterpreted, contentious  terms in the news media, in the non Pentecostal and in the Non Charismatic arenas,  in the fundamental religious circles all even because many of these people are mostly still serving self, doing their own thing, looking up to mere man and not God. Most people have never even firstly had studied, read what the Bible actually says firstly, not even many preachers.</span></span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span style="color:#1a0d00;">Beyond the show of a doubt the devil himself  firstly really hates any references to the <strong>Holy Spirit, the anointed ones,</strong> <strong>the idea that Christians do have now empowering to overcome the devil too...</strong> and so now the devil uses any of his followers, those in the fundamental religious circles too now, to now  lie, twist, distort the truths.  and they falsely try to say something typical like this "If you check every single Biblical reference to the Anointing you should notice that " </span>There is not ONE SINGLE reference to the anointing being a supernatural power given to human by which they are able to perform miracles... There is not ONE SINGLE reference to anyone being able to transmit the anointing by any means, including the laying on of hands... There is not ONE SINGLE reference to getting, keeping, increasing, or losing the anointing." </span></span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;"><em><span style="font-family:Arial;"><strong>Mind you they these same  liars do have to Tear out the whole Old Testament for a start..</strong>  the prophets were clearly anointed, and performed miracles,  and the same Jesus yesterday, today and forever who lives in us today too, who was anointed and performed miracles  he had also said that believers will do even greater things now too.  In  the reality now after all Samson next lost his anointing.. and so did King Saul lose his anointing .. and David asked God not to take away his anointing too after he had sinned with Bathsheba.. </span></em></span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><strong>It’s the frequent and methodical strategy of those people not Holy sprit filled, those people walking in the flesh that they do bash, recite against anyone who has evidenced the Holy Spirit anointing  still too,</strong> we all can see  these false professors  own false, unscriptural doctrine and practice. It’s now a charge of  their “blasphemy of the Holy Spirit” and their disobedience of  “touch not the Lord’s anointed.” </span></span></div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><strong>The anointing is sacred, the anointing is the Holy Spirit, and all believers in Christ have the anointing of the Holy Spirit.

<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">While the Antichrist and False Prophet themselves will possess the credential that they do reputedly perform miracles. While the devil does try to  counterfeit the miracles of God, those now done by Moses too, the existence of the devil and his bad works, the counterfeits now still does not nullify the present reality, existence  of God genuine gifts, miracles and real prophets, miracles workers, apostles  now too. REALITY.</span></div>

<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">(1 Cor 12:7 KJV)  But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">(1 Cor 12:8 KJV)  <strong>For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;</strong></span></span></div>

<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">(1 Cor 12:11 KJV)  But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">To me it is so just unbelievable that any professing Christian persons  can even think of saying say that there is no special anointing  by the holy spirit and any Christian person today.. </span></div>
<div> </div>
<div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">Yes the people who  are not anointed do not know what it is really like, but they are wrong to say there are no anointing by the Holy Spirit on others.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">(Psa 91:11 KJV)  For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">(Prov 3:6 KJV)  In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">(Ezek 16:47 KJV)  Yet hast thou not walked after their ways, nor done after their abominations: but, as if that were a very little thing, thou wast corrupted more than they in all thy ways.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;"><em>I admit that I have mostly stopped hearing for years now too or reading what the supposedly Christians pastors, authors say, write because I have made a real decision  a long time ago to only listen to God, to hear him only,  and only to write that which he speaks to me  to write, for I am not here on earth to get's man's useless approval, or any of his money too, for only God's blessing, approval counts anyway.</em></span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">Secondly it is very clear that God know everything that I do anyway, firstly. so I too do seek to do his will in everything I do, by praying beforehand Lord what will you have me to do next?</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">He or she that trust mainly in  their  own wisdom understandings, or mainly in the advice of others is still basically a real fool, an unwise person.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">(Psa 4:5 KJV)  Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">(Psa 31:6 KJV)  I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the LORD.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">(Psa 37:3 KJV)  Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">(Psa 40:3 KJV)  And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">(Psa 73:28 KJV)  But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">(Psa 115:10 KJV)  O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">(Psa 115:11 KJV)  Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: he is their help and their shield.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">(Psa 118:8 KJV)  It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">(Psa 118:9 KJV)  It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">(Psa 125:1 KJV)  They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">(Prov 3:5 KJV)  Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">(Prov 28:25 KJV)  He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the LORD shall be made fat.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">(Prov 29:25 KJV)  The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">Sadly too many persons are guilty of the sin of presumption, doing that which seems right in their own eyes, without checking first with God if it is the right thing to do. They can't check with God, basically cause they can't hear him. and they can't hear him cause they still do not really have a relationship with God, even cause they really do not spend time with him daily alone hearing him and talking to him..</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">(Psa 19:13 KJV)  Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">(2 Pet 2:10 KJV)  But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">(Deu 1:43 KJV)  So I spake unto you; and ye would not hear, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD, and went presumptuously up into the hill.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">(Deu 17:12 KJV)  And the man that will do presumptuously, and will not hearken unto the priest that standeth to minister there before the LORD thy God, or unto the judge, even that man shall die: and thou shalt put away the evil from Israel.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">(Deu 17:13 KJV)  And all the people shall hear, and fear, and do no more presumptuously.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">(Deu 18:22 KJV)  When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">(Psa 4:8 KJV)  I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.</span></div>

</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">"<span style="color:#000099;">And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing</span>"  (Isaiah 10:27). </span><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">    Just because one is a Christian counselor does not make his or her counseling effective.  Just because one knows the principles of the Word does not make his or her counseling effective.   Just because one is a dynamic or charismatic counselor does not make his or her ministry effective.  Education, knowledge, and experience are important, but none of these make one's ministry effective in the kingdom. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">    "<span style="color:#000099;">Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the LORD of hosts</span>" (Zechariah 4:6).   The word "might" means strength, wealth, or force.  The word for "power" refers to human ability.  The answer is the anointing! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">    The prophecy found in Isaiah 10:27 is a prophecy concerning the coming of Jesus and the anointing which is to rest upon him. Isaiah 11:2 gives us further insight.  "<span style="color:#000099;">And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD</span>"  (Isaiah 11:2).  Here we see the seven facets of the Spirit of God: </span></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">1. The Spirit of the LORD.<br />
2. The Spirit of wisdom.<br />
3. The Spirit of understanding.<br />
4. The Spirit of counsel.<br />
5. The Spirit of might.<br />
6. The Spirit of knowledge.<br />
7. The Spirit of the fear of the LORD.</span></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">    Isaiah later gives even more explanation concerning the prophecy.  "<span style="color:#000099;">The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;    To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;    To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified</span>"  (Isaiah 61:1-3). </span><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">    When we come to the New Testament, we see Jesus applying the Scripture to himself.  "<span style="color:#000099;">The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,    To preach the acceptable year of the Lord</span>"  (Luke 4:18-19).  Luke in the book of Acts also explains, "<span style="color:#000099;">How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him</span>"  (Acts 10:38). </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">   <span style="color:#cc0000;"> <strong>Again, it is the anointing that breaks the yoke!</strong> </span> Human wisdom can not heal emotional wounds.  Human knowledge can not set free those who are spiritually bound.  Traditions and church rituals can't cast out a demonic spirit.  Human whit can not restore those who have emotional bruises (blows to his or her identity).  However, the anointing that was on Jesus can heal all those who have been oppressed of the devil. "<span style="color:#000099;">How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him</span>" (Acts 10:38). </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">    We should understand that the ANOINTING did not cease when Jesus ascended into Heaven.  Joel prophesied concerning the anointing.  "<span style="color:#000099;">And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit" </span>(Joel 2:28-29).  Please note the expression "all flesh" which means that is available to all Believers. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">    The door to the anointing is open to all Believers, male and female, both young and old. "<span style="color:#000099;">And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him</span>"  (Acts 5:32).  Jesus told the Believers right before he ascended, "<span style="color:#000099;">But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth</span>" (Acts 1:8).   Sure enough, the anointing came on the day of Pentecost.   "<span style="color:#000099;">And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance</span>" (Acts 2:4). </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">     Here are several other examples of the anointing.  "<span style="color:#000099;">And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness</span>" (Acts 4:31).  This occurred some time after the outpouring on Pentecost. Paul wrote, "<span style="color:#000099;">Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God</span>"  (II.  Corinthians 1:21).  Again see the anointing, "<span style="color:#000099;">And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people</span>" (Acts 6:8).   Stephen was not an apostle, but rather a faithful deacon. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">    James wrote "<span style="color:#000099;">Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord</span>"  (James 5:14).  Church elders should have the anointing.  However, it should not be limited to those is full-time ministry. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">    If you are a Believer, you need the anointing to minister!  Every Believer should <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">ASK</span></strong> for the anointing.  "<span style="color:#000099;">If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?</span>" (Luke 11:13).  However, yesterday's anointing is not sufficient for today, nor today's anointing sufficient for tomorrow.  We should seek to be anointed daily, even twice daily.    "<span style="color:#000099;">And Aaron shall burn thereon sweet incense every morning: when he dresseth the lamps, he shall burn incense upon it.   And when Aaron lighteth the lamps at even, he shall burn incense upon it, a perpetual incense before the LORD throughout your generations</span>" (Exodus 30:7-8).  The lamps were to be filled twice daily, once in the morning and once in the evening. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">    Remember, it is the anointing that breaks the yoke!  Now, some will declare that since they are already Believers that automatically gives them the anointing.  However, there is a big difference in the earnest of the Spirit and the fullness of the Spirit.  "<span style="color:#000099;">That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.  In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,   Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory</span>" (Ephesians 1:12-14).  This speaks to the "earnest" of the Spirit that one receives at the time of the rebirth which is an earnest of his inheritance. "<span style="color:#000099;">Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts</span>" (II Corinthians 1:22).   "<span style="color:#000099;">Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit</span>" (II Corinthians 5:5).    However, now look at how Paul prays for these Believers who already have the earnest of the Spirit.  "<span style="color:#000099;">Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,  Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:</span> The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, </span> <span style="color:#000099;">And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,  Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,  Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: </span>" (Ephesians 1:15-21).  Paul is praying for these Christians to be anointed with the HOLY SPIRIT of wisdom and revelation.  This can be directly cross referenced to, "<span style="color:#000099;">And the Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD</span>" (Isaiah 11:2).  Since both passages refer to the HOLY SPIRIT the word "spirit" should be capitalized as I have indicated.<br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">    So what are the different facets of the Anointing?  There are many; however, one of the main purposes is to reveal our inheritance in Christ.  "<span style="color:#000099;">Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual</span>" (I Corinthians 2:12-13).  "<span style="color:#000099;">Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.   He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.    He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you</span>" (John 16:13-15).  It is absolutely amazing how the Holy Spirit shows the extent of our inheritance in Christ to those who will receive the anointing. </span><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">    Another purpose is that the Holy Spirit may become our spiritual teacher and to bring to our memory also what He has taught us.  "<span style="color:#000099;">But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you"</span> (John 14:26).  I can be counseling or witnessing to someone and the Holy Spirit can bring to mind a Scripture or truth from Scripture to me which I have not thought of in years. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">    The Holy Spirit also will give greater insights about Jesus to those who receive the anointing.  "<span style="color:#000099;">But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:</span><span style="color:#000000;">" (John 15:26).</span> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span style="color:#000000;">    One primary purpose of the anointing of the Holy Spirit is that one may be a witness unto Christ. One is not just to be a <span style="text-decoration:underline;">his</span> witness, witness <span style="text-decoration:underline;">about</span> Jesus, or witness <span style="text-decoration:underline;">for</span> him, but to witness <span style="text-decoration:underline;">UNTO</span> him.  "</span><span style="color:#000099;">But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth</span><span style="color:#000000;">" (Acts 1:8).   This means that when others see the person who is anointed with the Holy Spirit, they should be seeing Jesus.</span> </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span style="color:#000000;">    The anointing will also bring conviction to the "world" through the Believer.    "</span><span style="color:#000099;">Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.    And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:    Of sin, because they believe not on me;    Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;    Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged</span><span style="color:#000000;">"  (John 16:7-11).  The word "reprove" is demonstrated when the prosecuting attorney brings proof into the court that the crime has been committed by the defendant.</span>  </span></span><a href="http://www.wholeperson-counseling.org/doctrine/anointing_breaks.html"><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">http://www.wholeperson-counseling.org/doctrine/anointing_breaks.html</span></a></p>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">I am sure that even non Pentecostals, non charismatic Christians will have  to agree with me when I say that the spiritual gift we all need to seek too  now is the gift of prophecy.. Prophecy is not merely foretelling always  future events,, it is mainly conveying God present words, confirming God's  direction.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;"> "Surely the Lord God does nothing, unless He reveals His secret to His  servants the prophets.  A lion has roared! Who will not fear?  The Lord God  has spoken!  Who can but prophesy?"  Amos 3:7,8</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">(Rev 19:10 KJV)  And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me,  See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have  the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the  spirit of prophecy.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">All Prophecy always exalts the Lord Jesus Christ and not any man, person,  denomination..</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">(2 Pet 1:20 KJV)  Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is  of any private interpretation. 21  For the prophecy came not in old time by  the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy  Ghost.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">(2 Pet 2:1 KJV)  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. 2  And many shall follow their pernicious  ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. 3  And  through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you:  whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation  slumbereth not.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">(Jer 2:8 KJV)  The priests said not, Where is the LORD? and they that handle  the law knew me not: the pastors also transgressed against me, and the  prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not profit.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">Prophecy is expressing the deep inner feelings, voice of the Holy Spirit to  this generation.  Prophecy as stated in the New Testament  clearly here,  requires next no new redefinitions, it is the "edification" through the  interpretations of  the language of the Holy Spirit into English for example  for the benefit of others and ourselves too.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">(1 Cor 14:13 KJV)  Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray  that he may interpret. (And no exceptions now too)</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">Sadly some people want to wrongfully exalt "speaking in tongues" over  prophecy.. too bad for them.. and they thus do try to misinterpret what  prophecy still is.. rather know and  read the Word first and not their<br />
views...</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">(Rom 12:6 KJV)  Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is  given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion  of faith;</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">(1 Cor 12:10 KJV)  To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy;  to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to  another the interpretation of tongues:</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">(1 Cor 13:2 KJV)  And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all  mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could  remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">2 Pet 1:19 - 21, 2:1 - 3, "We have also a more sure word of prophecy;  whereunto you do well that you take heed, as unto a light that shines in a  dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:  Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private  interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man:  but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. But there  were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false  teachers among you, who privately shall bring in damnable heresies, even  denying Jesus 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. And through covetousness shall they with  feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time  lingers not, and their damnation slumbers not."</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">Clearly one of the unique, great, valid emphasis of the Pentecostals from  the other denominations is also their emphasis on personally hearing God  speak. even personally and collectively speaking to us, verbally  individually or in a collective setting by prophecy.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">(1 Cor 14:26 KJV)  How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every  one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying. 27  If any man  speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and  that by course; and let one interpret. 28  But if there be no interpreter,  let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to  God. 29  Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge. 30 If  any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his  peace. 31  For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all  may be comforted. 32  And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the  prophets. 33  For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.</span></div>
<p><span style="font-size:medium;font-family:Arial;">(Rom 12:1 KJV)  I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God,  that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God,  which is your reasonable service.</p>
<p>(Rom 12:2 KJV)  And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by  the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and  acceptable, and perfect, will of God.</p>
<p>(Psa 119:9 KJV)   Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking  heed thereto according to thy word.<br />
(<br />
(Gal 6:7 KJV)  Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man  soweth, that shall he also reap.</p>
<p>(Gal 6:8 KJV)  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.</p>
<p>(Gal 6:9 KJV)  And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we  shall reap, if we faint not.</p>
<p>(Gal 6:10 KJV)  As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all  men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.</p>
<p>The question about the existence today of  the gift of Prophecy and other  Holy Spirit gifts are very common.. yet still the answers differ so much.  And why?</p>
<p>(2 Tim 2:15 KJV)  Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that  needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 16 But shun  profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness. 17  And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;</p>
<p>It also still amazes me how some people are so ready to claim they are  right, even experts, on a subject they have never experienced even, such as  the people who do not at all claim now to be a prophet, and/or do not claim  they speak in tongues, and/or do not claim they prophecy and yet they next  still will try to claim now even to write authoritatively on any of it.....  sure, sure! They firstly all mostly have already lost my respect, and their  credibility.</p>
<p>(Eph 5:11 KJV)  And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of  darkness, but rather reprove them.12   For it is a shame even to speak of  those things which are done of them in secret. 13 But all things that are  reproved are made manifest by the light: f
