Witchcraft Exposed

Manipulation
Domination
Intimidation
Control

These are branches from the root of rebellion and witchcraft.



Ever felt like someone's puppet on a string?
Ever been twisted up and manipulated?
Controlled by intimidation?
Dominated over?
Ever been entangled in witchcraft?
Ever rebel?

"For rebellion is the sin of witchcraft."
1Samuel 15:23

Would you like to be able to identify this stronghold in your life?
Would you like to be able to discern this functioning in someone else's life so that you can avoid becoming their victim?

This is rampant amongst believers and unbelievers alike.

I highly recommend reading, Exposing Witchcraft in the Church by Rick Godwin

The subtle, and not so subtle, influences of witchcraft in the church.
The relationship between guilt, condemnation, and witchcraft.
How to spot witchcraft.
What the living and active Word of God has to say in response to witchcraft's influence.
How to appropriate the victory of the cross over the influences of the devil.

In "Science Speaks" Peter Stoner offers the calculation that taking only 8 prophecies about Jesus (there are more than 61) the probability of them being fulfilled perfectly is 1 in 10 to the 17th power.

That's like taking 100,000,000,000,000,000 silver dollars and laying them across Texas 2 feet deep. Mark one of the silver dollars and mix it into the rest, blindfold a person and send them out to pick up the marked coin. The probability that they will pick it is 1 in 10 to the 17th power.

If you calculate it with 40 coins (prophecies) the chance in 1 in 10 to the 157th power. Jesus is who He says He is, it is no fluke, God is believable.

There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are IN Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
Romans 8:1

It is so wonderful to know that I don't have to walk in condemnation, guilt, and shame.
There is a great freedom from that IN Christ!

Feeling condemned, guilty, ashamed?

God uses those things to get our attention to do business with the issue of sin. He never intended us to walk through this life carrying that heavy load.

Are you IN Christ?

Are you walking in the freedom that Jesus died to give you?

I hope that YOU experience the liberty of new life in Christ Jesus.

Dedicated to my Dad

Most people have family songs like~ You Are My Sunshine or some other lovely song. Not our family... Growing up we had~ Margaritaville. This cracks me right up.
Our family also had You Are My Sunshine, Let the Rest of the World Go By,Doctor, Doctor Can You Tell,and 5-8-9-10. Let's see we had songs for us kids as well... Willie, Willie, Willie Won't Go Home- for Billy. Kawasaki Let the Good Times Roll- for Dodie, Tammy- for Tammy- Cheryl- I can't remember, but it must be something about stop snivelling, and me- Tracy Never Let Go.



I was thinking about music as I was driving home from church today. I thought about the powerful influence of music and the emotional connections I have made with it. I can place a song on a time in my life that will bring me right back to it. I have songs for people, songs for myself, songs for God.

Solsbury Hill and Take Me Home are two songs that God used to draw me to Him before I was converted. These songs speak of home. Every time I heard these songs something within me cried out. Someplace within, where deep cries unto deep I longed for home.

Do you have a song like that?








Before my conversion to Christianity I was a drinker. I remember thinking is this all there is to life? A party? I felt so hopeless because I knew there wasn't anything worth living for in alcohol. Hangovers, regrets. (I'll be honest I had some good times as well.) I wanted to live for something more than that.

One night I was at a bar with my sister. I wasn't drunk. I remember looking at my sister and telling her I wanted to go home. She replied,"Then go home!" I kept pleading with her. "No, you don't understand I want to go home, but not that home!" I began to weep and cry out, "I just want to go home!" She just blew it off that I was drunk.

I thought it was strange that I behaved that way because I didn't even know what I meant. I was never more desperate for wanting something in my entire life. My heart was crying out for something inexpressible.

Shortly after I became a Christian the Lord showed me this verse."They admitted that they were aliens and strangers on earth. People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own. If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return. Instead, they were longing for a better country... a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them." Hebrews 11:13-16

The Lord reminded me of that night at the bar. And showed me that my inexpressible cries now had a meaning. He showed me that this is what I was longing for... heaven, salvation. And that He was my God. My citizenship is in heaven because he freely gave it to me and I received it by faith.

Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God,having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit. Ephesians 2:19,22

Life is not all about a party anymore for me. It's about the choices we make and the consequences thereof. Consequences for good or bad.

I dedicate this post to my Dad. "May you live forever and I never die."
Yet, we must walk through the door of death into everlasting life with God.
I love you Dad!

This song means a lot to me.





My world is closing in
On the inside
But I’m not showing it
When all I am is crying out
I hold it in
and fake a smile
Still I’m broken
I’m broken
Only one can understand
And only one can hold the hand
Of the broken
Of the broken

When no one else knows how I feel
Your love for me is proven real
When no one else cares where I’ve been
You run to me with outstretched hands
And You hold me in your arms
Again

I need no explanation of why me
I just need confirmation
Only You could understand the emptiness inside my head
I am falling
I am falling
I’m falling down upon my knees
To find the one who gives me peace
I am flying
Lord I am flying

When no one else knows how I feel
Your love for me is proven real
When no one else cares where I’ve been
You run to me with outstretched hands
And You hold me in Your arms
Again

I have come to you in search of faith
Cause I can’t see beyond this place
Oh You are God and I am man
So I’ll leave it in Your hands

It's not the flu! I have it too.

Please pray for Adam. He had a seasonal flu shot last Friday and developed flu like symptoms last night. His immune system is compromised from the Toxic Shock Syndrome in July. I'm praying that it isn't the pig flu. We don't have the Swine Flu vaccination available in our area. I have to take him to urgent care if he gets a 101 fever.

Ken's heart pain, weakness, and other symptoms were from his diabetis medication.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone that prayed and sent well wishes.
