Philippians 3:20a
"For our conversation (citizenship) is (where?) in heaven…"
How did our citizenship get transplanted from the earthly domain to heaven? Colossians 1. God the Father has transplanted us from darkness into the Kingdom of His dear Son.
Now that isn’t so deep and yet very few people have this concept. Very few people understand that when they were saved, they were literally made a citizen of a heavenly kingdom, which will tie us then to when Christ returns and sets up His kingdom on earth. And we’ll be part of that. So our citizenship is in Heaven. And lest you think it’s a play on words,Paul, by inspiration, tells us exactly what heaven he’s talking about. The abode of God. From whence we look for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. And so that is what God has done by virtue of our faith in the Gospel. He has opened our eyes, broken those chains of darkness and He has transplanted us into the Kingdom of His dear Son. Now let’s look at verse 14 of Colossians 1 and the first thing you’re going to notice in these new translations is that the word "blood" isn’t in there. And for whatever reason, I’m not going to make comment on it, but my good old King James still has it. And here it is.
Colossians 1:14
"In whom (that is in the Son up there in verse 13) we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins:"
Now let’s go all the way back to Hebrews and let’s look at a verse that we haven’t used for a long time. We certainly have in the past but it’s been awhile. Hebrews chapter 9 and verse 22.
Hebrews 9:22
"And almost all things are by the law (back in the sacrificial economy) purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission."
Now I call that an absolute. You know, they’re trying to tell us today that there are no absolutes. I beg to differ. There are absolutes and this is one of them. Without the shedding of blood there has never been any forgiveness of sin. You go right back to the Garden of Eden and Adam and Eve had sinned and were expelled and what’s the first thing that God does to restore them? He kills the animals. It was a blood sacrifice.
Now it’s amazing how that Satan counterfeits everything that is perfect in God’s economy and adulterates it in the process. Now if you know anything about paganism, if you’ve ever had missionaries come home, especially years back, from some of these almost uncivilized areas, what were they constantly doing in their tribal rituals? Killing animals, or roosters or birds and sprinkling or spattering the blood all over. Why? That was Satan’s counterfeit. And so almost every culture up through human history has had a constant bath of sacrificial blood. But that was the counterfeit. That was the adulteration.
The true system of blood sacrifice was what God instituted with Adam and Eve and then bought it up and perfected it with the Law and the Temple worship. And it all was centered on the animal sacrifices. You know all of that. The Passover Lamb and I’ve shown you from Scripture that when Israel would sin a particular sin, there was a particular sacrifice that they would have to bring. It could be a turtledove, a goat or whatever, but it was always a blood sacrifice. Because without the shedding of blood there has never been forgiveness. Now I know that today we don’t hear anything anymore about the blood concept. But listen, it’s the way the Sovereign God ordained it. That without the shedding of blood there can be no remission of sin. And of course, I feel that the reason for that is that back in Genesis chapter 9 it tells us that life is in the blood. And you cannot get new life without death happening first and death is signified by shed blood. And so you follow this all the way through God’s dealing with the whole human race leading up to His own supreme sacrifice, which had to be a shedding of blood. That’s why He could have never been hung. He could have never died a death by hanging which was a typical capital punishment way of putting people to death. But it wouldn’t have worked because then there wouldn’t have been the shed blood. And it had to be a death where there would be that shedding of blood. It had to be! Because this is the way the Sovereign God ordained it and who are we to say that the shed blood is no longer of consequence. Well, anyone who does is in danger of Hellfire because without the shedding of blood there is no remission. Now let’s see how Paul enlarges on it. Come back to Romans chapter 3 starting at verse 23.
Romans 3:23-24
"For all have sinned (every last single human being) and come short of the glory of God. 24. Being justified freely by his grace (that unmerited favor) through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:"
Now you all know what redemption means. It’s the process of paying the price and gaining something back. Now verse 25
Romans 3:25a
"Whom (Christ) God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his (what?) blood,…"
You can’t take that out. We have to maintain that it was His shed blood which was in accordance with His whole divine plan for the ages beginning with Adam and Eve’s sin just outside the garden all the way up through the Old Testament economy of Law and temple worship, all bringing us up to the supreme sacrifice of all time, the death of Christ Himself. And that’s when sacrificing stopped biblically. There was no more need for sacrifice once Christ died. Now the pagans kept it on. But biblically there was no more need for sacrifice.
But never forget that without the shedding of blood there is no remission.
Hebrews 10:1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. 2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins. 3 But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year. 4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. 5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: 6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure. 7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God. 8 Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law; 9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:
12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; 13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool. 14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

I have a question for you, what is the difference between the ministry of John the Baptist and the ministry of Jesus?

Miles,
Thank you so much for reading the blogs that I posted in this foroum, let me if you will shed some light on some things that you may have overlooked concerning what I wrote,
First off I do not consider myself a Professor of the scriptures, I am a gentile by birth, who was allowed the privilege of a relationship with God the Father because your ancestors rejected it, and you will have to thank them for me.
Secondly the information that I share other than any scripture is to give accurate and substantial evidence of my history as a human being and how I came to the knowledge of the truths that I believe today. I do not deny the power of God in my life for it is the very thing that has brought me to where I am today; I can honestly say that without the revelations of God by the Holy Spirit through my studies of the Holy Scriptures and the power that was released through them to bring balance and change to my life I probably most definitely would not be having this conversation with you or anyone else today, God literally and most definitely saved my life, as much of a waist of time as you might be of the opinion that you think it was, I for one am very grateful that he considered me worthy of a sacrifice that he paid.
I furthermore gather from what I have read of your postings that you are Jewish, an assumption on my part. Further observation would bring evidence of the truth that you are a great student of the word, well versed and well read. I lay no charge to you concerning these truths, or the truths that I have read. You seem to have spent a lot of years in the word; I commend you for that, though you may not wish to be recognized for it.
Because I believe you to be of Jewish origin I will not speak to you in the name of Jesus for I believe that it would be an offense to you if I did, but if permitted I will speak to you in the name of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Assuming once again that you are ok with that, let me begin.


You need to read the writings of your Prophet and quit fussing with me as a Christian, for your God and mine are the same.
I know that if anyone comes and lays claim that he is the promised messiah and the Mount of Olives is still standing in-tact then they are Anti-Christ, they are false Messiah. According to as it is written by your Prophet Zachariah in Zach: 14—That when true Messiah comes the mount of olives will be split.. The last time I checked it was still in tact, and furthermore I am not him, nor do I lay claim to be him. I am a man with a 12th grade education who made a-lot of mistakes in his life, who was rescued from death by a loving God who loved me. For goodness sake I still type with two fingers and have to use spell check more than anyone should ever have to.
When the Anti-Christ comes ,coming out of the chaos of Ezekiel 38 & 39 to establish his 10 nation confederacy, The Jewish Nation will accept him as the promised Messiah, do you know why? Because he is Jewish, he is from the tribe of Dan.
He is going to give the Jewish people something that even King David couldn’t give them, and that is the promise of Abraham: That the promised land would be from the Euphrates river to the Nile, and coming out of the reorganization of about 40 Nations that coagulated into 10 in the Middle East region coming out of the chaos and destruction of Ezek. 38 & 39 he will surface out of the land of Syria a Jew to offer the Jewish people the promised land.
Because that whole region the political borders will no longer be Lebanon, Iraq, that whole area will no longer exist as a Nation, there will be new borders, and out of that this new leader will come to the Jews and say; Here is your land promised to Abraham and I’m the only man that can give it to you, and that my friend will be the very thing that will snare them.
More later, thanks for listening.
Dennis

The truth that I am referring to is multifaceted, its principles are rooted in my faith that is correct, but it reaches far beyond my faith deep into my life experiences.(which I wont get into at this time) In part I have been on each end of the extreme pendulum swing, from tremendous excess to tremendous lack. These things seem to ring true for most people:
There are a lot of things in our lives that we either wish we had or hadn’t done. Things we planned to do but never got around to do, or maybe things just came up that didn’t allow us to do what we had planned. Possibly things just happened that changed the course of our lives. Such as divorce, an accident, the stock market crashed, you lost your job, or someone died, you know things like that. For most of us these things seem to ring true, While for others things just seem to work out fine well from our perspective anyway.
I have found that no matter what hand we have been dealt in this life or what blindsiding blow we have received there are definite constants that are woven into the fiber of the canvas of the paintings of our lives and we are actually the ones who determine what the final picture of our lives will look like.


I have had the privilege of seeing things from many different aspects of life. Those that have, and those that don’t, those who want, and those that want more, those that had, and those that lost everything that they had either through tragedy or just making wrong decisions, either by others or by themselves.
I have come to the following conclusion; That the greatest need we have as a people is the need to be needed, the need to be heard, the need to be noticed ,the need to be accepted, which basically boils down to the need to be loved. These things seem to be their driving force behind what we do, how we respond, how we think etc. etc. etc. From our infancy to this present age. So I began a quest to find out what was so important about these needs.
You have to keep in mind that I did counseling for over 17 years, so I’ve heard literally thousands of stories from people from all over the world and every walk of life, I am still involved in counseling to some degree, just not as much as I was.
Believe me I tried everything under the sun to help me solve the riddle of life in my quest for love.
I have been able to and have been given the great privilege of receiving from extensive studies a great deal of understanding concerning these present day tactics of what I will call the enemy,
Whether it’s disguised in religious ceremony and theological dissertations from these so called self proclaimed theologians of the scriptures who have dictated to us the who's who in the church world. Or the occult practices both in and out of the known church world, such as divination, witchcraft, channeling, mythology, mind control, guided imagery / creative visualization, spirit guides or new age medicine. To be very honest with you, it is ok to be honest is it not? I am not impressed; as a matter of fact, I'm a little embarrassed that I even fell for some of it at one point or another.
I have tasted both sides of the fence and found great similarities between the two. One being that they always left me wanting more; either I was trying to achieve that ultimate high or the greater glory. I must say in both what I was really looking for was rest.(peace if you will.)


Well put I can see that you have done your homework;

I see that for whatever reason you did study the scriptures in great detail, as well as other modalities, (what was it exactly that you were looking for?) You don’t have to answer that.

Why do people go into or get involved in New Age or Occultic practices anyway?

Does it not come out of a need to be in control of ones destiny?
What drives that need?
-Fear or a lack of trust in GOD?
-Needing to know—divination
-Needing to control—witchcraft/ or sorcery

Definition of occult from Astronomy/ occultism:

When one heavenly body passes in front of another and obscures the one behind.

-Occultism is spiritual and appears to be light but in truth it is the counterfit:

2 Corinthians 11:3-4 but I fear,lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtily, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.- for if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus,whom we have not preached,or if ye receive another spirit,which ye have not received,or another gospel which ye have not accepted,ye might well bear with him.

At times good and evil look very much alike and the only way to know the difference is by the spirit of God and the scriptures.

Let’s take a closer look at the New Age Movement,

It’s not new at all it is the ancient religion of the Chaldeans and the Babylonians.

The term new age is copyrighted by the Masons.
What is the agenda?
-to demote Jesus Christ as Son of God and God himself.

To make Jesus one of man, another man, a teacher, an historical figure.

Isaiah 30:1-3, 5:20-21… Proverbs 14:12; 16:2, genesis 3:5

The new age is a large, loosely structured network of organizations and persons bound together by common values and a common vision.

New Age is repackaged Hinduism
-millions of gods; no founder or established canon
-believes in a universal, impersonal, pantheistic god
-based on Mythology and encompasses a variety of religious beliefs and practices
- no good or evil, no right or wrong
- all life is an illusion referred to as Maya
-the goal is to turn inward to discover ones true nature using an altered state of consciousness to experience union with god
- inner experience is exalted


Look you seem like you are a very nice person and I have enjoyed talking with you thus far, but have you ever considered that the reason you don’t believe the bible and the revelation of God in the bible might come from the fact that it wasn’t written to you, it’s kind of like reading someone elses mail, who does that? The bible is written to those who believe, who God refers to as his own. It cannot be interpreted using the natural mind, or any other spirit other than Gods Spirit.
Our own natural minds hate GOD, and the preaching of the cross is foolishness to them that believe not.

In regards to the evil we see around the world and how God feels about it, well go back to the garden of eden evil did not exist in mankind until sin was introduced and the wages or the reward of sin is death and destruction, The reward of believing God and accepting that what Jesus did
Is more abundant life and peace.

I have been reading through your blogs on the scriptures and just wanted to share some things that I have discovered throughout the 20+ years of studying the scriptures.
Keep in mind though; this is just insights into the scripture.
I tell my girls all the time: (Make sure what you believe to be the truth, is the truth , (concerning scripture) beause if what you believe to be the truth isn’t the truth , then its just what you believe.) You are entitled to have your opinion on things, but if your opinion isn’t the truth then you are entitled to keep it to yourself.)If you want to get rid of evil in your life and help other get rid of the evil in their lives , you can only do it with the truth. The example is JESUS. Please keep an open mind and heart when you read through this, I’m not trying to convert anyone (not my job). I like you want to know the truth, so I went back to the original text to find it, and I’m just sharing with you what I discovered.

The Bible is a book about relationship, not religion.
From cover to cover it covers every kind of relationship struggle that you could possibly imagine. Sin was the determining factor that separated mankind from their relationship with GOD, When God looked at what he loved he saw what he hated (sin).

Looking deeper I found that sin not only separated mankind from God , but it also separated them from themselves and others.

I don't know you, but I know that GODS intentions
towards you are good.
(Jeremiah 29:11 )
11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you,
saith the LORD, thoughts of peace,
and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

Before we get to the present situation I find it paramount that
We cover the past. This is where I lose most
People unfortunately, but I will encourage you to stick
around. For what I'm about to share with you will
change your life. I do realize that most people like to
keep the past, the past, but when you realize that the past
holds in it valuable information that is vital to your
freedom in Christ, your relationship with yourself and with others, then you'll want to uncover as much as possible. There is information in our history that is prevalent to where we are today. The trials and
tribulations we struggle with today are actually revelations of where we've been.

So I will attempt to lead you down a path that will not only bring resolve to your current conflict, but
will bring revelation and understanding to the whole matrix
of things in all of our lives. That when we identify them, and acknowledge them, we find a new freedom in our lives and our relationship with GOD that we always
read about and even dared to hope that he somehow meant it for us.....WELL HE DID....This journey will prove to you that he did. The first thing that we have to do is realize that this journey is a life long one, and we have to remember that GOD in his wisdom has chosen to do it a certain way,and his way is a progressive one.

DEUTERONOMY 7:7-26

7 The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people:
8 But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
9 Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;
10 And repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face.
11 Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I command thee this day, to do them.
12 Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the LORD thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers:
13 And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee.
14 Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle.
15 And the LORD will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay them upon all them that hate thee.
16 And thou shalt consume all the people which the LORD thy God shall deliver thee; thine eye shall have no pity upon them: neither shalt thou serve their gods; for that will be a snare unto thee.
17 If thou shalt say in thine heart, These nations are more than I; how can I dispossess them?
18 Thou shalt not be afraid of them: but shalt well remember what the LORD thy God did unto Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt;
19 The great temptations which thine eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the stretched out arm, whereby the LORD thy God brought thee out: so shall the LORD thy God do unto all the people of whom thou art afraid.
20 Moreover the LORD thy God will send the hornet among them, until they that are left, and hide themselves from thee, be destroyed.
21 Thou shalt not be affrighted at them: for the LORD thy God is among you, a mighty God and terrible.
22 And the LORD thy God will put out those nations before thee by little and little: thou mayest not consume them at once, lest the beasts of the field increase upon thee.
23 But the LORD thy God shall deliver them unto thee, and shall destroy them with a mighty destruction, until they be destroyed.
24 And he shall deliver their kings into thine hand, and thou shalt destroy their name from under heaven: there shall no man be able to stand before thee, until thou have destroyed them.
25 The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it unto thee, lest thou be snared therein: for it is an abomination to the LORD thy God.
26 Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing.

Now that we have established that lets not look for a Cure all or a magical wand type of ministry,but rather a relationship with GOD THE FATHER.

You can call it getting to know you.
Getting to know GOD is what life is all about, and we will spend the rest of our lives doing it,both here and in eternity.
So in getting to know GOD it requires getting rid of things that
are keeping us from him, such as sin, sin will separate you from GOD ,
and at the same time it will separate you from yourself and others.
So lets get right to it, shall we.
Before you start this journey I think it's imperative that
you know where this thing that has completely cut you off from GOD came from.
Like most things in life and almost all things in the kingdom of heaven if you go to the root, that tiny little seed that settled in and produced a root, then blossomed into this gigantic tree with more fruit than you could handle.Everything comes from somewhere. What you're going through,what your children are going through, what your friends are going Through, all started somewhere, it didn’t start out as big as it seems at the moment.
Realize that it might not be, and probably isn't as big as it seems either.
Unfortunately we spend most of our time cleaning up the outside.
You know cut the grass, trim the bushes trim the trees, paint the porch
, wash the windows, work out, take a shower comb your hair, and brush your teeth Shave, put on makeup, put on cologne; all these things do wonders for the outside.But what about the inside? Can I come in past the porch? Can I have a real Conversation with you ? Now I'm not talking about the you that you present to everyone, I'm talking about the real you, the secret you. Most of us have done a real good job with 15 min. conversations and some of us even could go for an hour and talk about absolutely nothing.

Let me ask you a question,
Who really knows you?

Your struggles,Your secret things that you hope no-one ever find out?
Because if they did they wouldn’t like you anymore.
Does anyone?
Well I've got some good news for you....
GOD KNOWS EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU, AND HE'S CRAZY ABOUT YOU!!!!
Why you do what you do?
Why you try to cover-up certain things?
Why you act the way you do?
Why you respond the way you do?

I know that if you read through this portion of blog it will enable you to answer these questions and enhance your relationships on every level.

THE ORIGIN OF SIN


The origin of sin is where it came from so let’s start at the beginning.

GENESIS 3:1
3:1 Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil

6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

If I were to ask you where sin came from you would probably say ADAM.

Let’s look closer at what we just read. Here we have the transgression of man in regards to his disobedience to what the father had told him. But it this doesn’t tell us where sin started, it only shows us where it was introduced into mankind. In order to find out where it started, we have to go back a little farther, before GOD created man. We find this in the book of EZEKIAL.

EZEKIAL 28:12
12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.
18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffic; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
19 All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.
I want to take a closer look at this and point out a few things.
The word says that lucifer was a created being, it says that he was anointed,and iniquity was found in his heart and he sinned against GOD.

Lets take a look at another passage.

ISAIAH 14:12
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;
Lucifer now known as satan tried to exault himself by invading heaven,but fell, actualy he was thrown out,back to the earth. A third of the angels rebelled with lucifer and were cast to the earth with him
REVELATION 12:
3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth:

GOD judged the earth and the inhabitants of the earth and it became without form and void because of Lucifer’s iniquity, rebellion, and corruption of those that GOD put him over.

GENESIS 1
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
ISAIAH 45
18 For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.
19 I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.
2 PETER 3


5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

JEREMIAH 4
23 I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.
24 I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly.
25 I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled.
26 I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by his fierce anger.

Satan and his rebellious angels were cast out of the third heaven ( where GOD is ), and were cast to the earth.

2CORINTHIANS 12
2 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.
3 And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;)
4 How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.

We do not see them in the earth they are not a part of the visible earth and heavens ( the first earth and first heaven )
REVELATION 21
21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.


They are in another dimension called by inference, the second heaven.
The spirits of the natural inhabitants of the earth that were judged by GOD make up the evil spirits of satans kingdom. These evil spirits are in torment and the only rest they can have is when they reside in us.

LUKE 11
17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth.
18 If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub.
19 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.
20 But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.
21 When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace:
22 But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils.
23 He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.
24 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out.
25 And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.
26 Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.

HOW SIN ENTERED THE WORLD OF HUMANS THROUGH ADAM AND EVE.

Sin was not in the world at creation. Everything God created, including Adam and Eve, was " very good. "

GENESIS 1:31
31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
Then we see the events that led up to the introduction of sin, into what God declared good.

GENESIS 3:1 3:1 Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

Using the serpent as a medium, Satan influenced eve, then Adam, to disobey God. Sin entered by one man.

ROMANS 5 : 12
12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned.

When sin entered in through the disobedience of man there came with it a whole entourage of manifested personality conflicts that were not a part of the original makeup of man such as,
#1 SHAME
#2 GUILT
#3 FEAR
#4 ACCUSATION
Also we see that mans eyes were opened and they began to see things in a different way, not the way that God had designed them to see, them but through the eyes of sin. Notice this was after sin entered.

GENESIS 3: 6- 24
6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.
9 And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
11 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
12 And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
13 And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
20 And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.
22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
23 Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden, Cherubims and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep them away from the tree of life.
Also included in the price they paid for their disobedience was the following;
#1TORMENT
#2 BANISHED FROM THE GARDEN
Their relationship with God had changed in the respect that they, instead of being totally reliant upon God and fellowshipping with him and enjoying his provision , had to work for what they received and in order to fellowship with God they had to make atonement for their sin before they could talk to God. All these things came after Adam and eve disobeyed (sinned.) These were not present before they disobeyed. All these things, SHAME, GUILT, FEAR, ACCUSATION, TORMENT, AND SEPERATION all came from Satan and his kingdom.

Access was granted

The evil spirits in the second heaven had now gained access to the first humans in the first heaven, we really want to look closely at this change that happened because then we can see how we can separate the differences. Immediately after Satan and his kingdom gained access into man through his disobedience mans personality changed. The evil spirits began to express their nature through man contrary to the original make of God. SO THE THINGS THAT MAN FOUND HIMSELF DOING WERE CONTRARY TO HIS NATURE.

Go with me to the book of Romans chapter 7, here we find the apostle Paul some 20 years after his conversion on the road to Damascus struggling with a nature that he would realize was not his nature, but was in him.

ROMANS 7:
1 Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?
2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.
3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.
4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.
5 For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.
6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.
7 What shall we say then? is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.
8 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.

9 For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
10 And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death.
11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.
12 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
13 Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.
14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.
17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.
19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
He recognized the conflict within his soul and was in torment over the conflict, but once he discovered the source he immediately separated the manifestation of indwelling sin from who he was in Christ and went after it with truth, and he was able to disassociate himself from the SHAME, GUILT, FEAR , AND TORMENT.
This enabled him to come out from under the deception of sin that it was him,( the deception was that it was him ) and rise up above the sin by the spirit and conquer the sin within by the spirit within that was greater, more powerful than the sin, but it was only after he was able to separate the two that he found victory. In like manner we need to be able to separate the sin we see in ourselves and others so we can like Paul by the spirit rise above the evil that we see in ourselves, and in others, and take back what the enemy has blinded us to, which is our identity. Begin to see yourself as GOD sees you, because that is your true identity.

In regards to migraines,
first let me take some time and clue you in to the dynamics of a migraine.

A migraine is a type of headache pain known as psychogenic pain.Psychogenic means that it is not caused by any known organic reason.It's not pain because of injury.It's not pain because of any organic reason. It comes and it goes and it's incredibly painful. It brings with it nausea,flashing lights,and a complete shutting down of ones ability to cope with life.
Anyone who's ever had a migraine knows that this is true.

Let me take a moment to explain to you the mechanisms and let me give you what triggers these horribly painful things.

Let's take a close look at what the medical community uses to treat migraines,IMITREX

I will give you the mechanisms of the drug IMITREX.

There are two parts to migraines. First, there is a reduction in the secretion of serotonin,and second there is an increase in the secretion of histamine, this is triggered by(guilt,resulting from conflict in your life in conjunction with fear.)

Let me explain, it's not the conflict itself that you're having that triggers the migraine,it's the conflict that you have with yourself that triggers the migraine,either real or imagined.

example: You may have guilt because you think you spent to much money and you got in a little argument with your husband/boyfriend//it's just an example, over how much you spent.That argument about that little infringement in finances is not what causes the migraine.It's the guilt you have with yourself that produces the migraine.

Migraines are triggered in people who have conflict with themselves about conflict in life or conflict with others, its always rooted in guilt, out of guilt comes fear and it's always in that order. It's guilt first then fear.

Here is how it works in your body,
As you enter into guilt over some issue, the hypothalamus gland senses that you are in conflict with yourself, a mechanism of self hatred sets in causing the pineal gland to slow down the secretion level of
serotonin , this causes a lowered level of serotonin.
Keep in mind this conflict developed in the realm of the soul and the spirit and fear now starts to move. Anxiety concerning the issue starts,and histamine begins to be over-secreted in the cranial region.

Serotonin is a vasoconstrictor, when your serotonin levels are normal, they maintain the diameter of your blood vessels just the way God intended, and they carry your blood supply into each region of your body.

Histamine is a vasodilator,as the serotonin is decreased the histamine is increased, you have dilation of the blood vessels. A swelling of the blood vessels puts pressure on sensitive nerves,and that is what produces the migraine.

IMATREX is a compound drug that is designed to be an antihistamine and a serotonin enhancer, Serotonin and histamine are antagonistic to each other in that they are in opposition to each other in body functions. They repel each other, they don't coexist together. when serotonin levels are reduced because of guilt, then histamine levels are increased because of the fear. Histamine and serotonin are incompatible with each other in the human body. What happens when the drug IMATREX is this, first histamine is reduced and then serotonin is enhanced. Vasodialation reduces, and vasoconstriction is broken, the blood vessels return to normal, and the migraine is over. Thats the mechanism behind migraines, and this is the mechanism of IMATREX drug therapy.

Deal with any guilt over anything only you know what it is either real or imagined and get rid of any fear in your life. Take your life back, you are worth it.Stop migraines by cutting off what triggers them.

I think that the true definition of unconditional love, is allowing an individual space to be who they are. now that doesn’t mean that you necessarily have to subject yourself to the things that are the subject of your unconditional love, such as , anger and rage, physical ,verbal, mental, abuse, you get the picture. People, who return to the scene of the crime so to speak, really need to look from a different perspective.
I think that what we are all subconsciously and consciously looking for would be classified as perfect love. Perfect love goes directly to the uniqueness of the individual and meets them where they are at, it is honest to a fault but, the furthest thing from selfish you can get. It is intimacy at it’s highest level.
For instance if I am involved in a persons life and some of the things they are doing I don’t agree with, then I have a choice to either separate myself from that person or continue to hang around them because I like them, I just don’t like some of the things that they do. That is unconditional love.
On the other hand perfect love would give a viable option to the person in order that the person could change to make themselves better without placing the expectation on them to take their advice.
