Attack! Pt. 2 - Face Your Fears!

Embedded image from another site


9. YOU HAVE TO FIND OUT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN REALITY & THE IMAGINARY--the Truth & the lie--because if it is reality, it doesn't do any good to try to tell yourself it isn't there--to just shut your eyes & hope it goes away, & when you open them again you'll find out it didn't exist--it was just your imagination!--And in that case, the best thing in the World to do is to face it & take some kind of action & do something about it to eliminate the danger by taking the initiative & launching an attack!

10. AS ANY MILITARY STRATEGIST KNOWS, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO WIN A DEFENSIVE WARFARE! Defensive war is doomed to defeat! To win a war you have to launch an attack--you HAVE to go on the offensive! You HAVE to set him back on his heels! You HAVE to take the initiative! You HAVE to be positive! YOU have to attack & invade & overpower! You can't just sit there & try to ward him off while HE attacks & invades or he'll finally overpower YOU.

11. THIS IS WHY COMMANDO & GUERILLA WARFARE IS SO SUCCESSFUL, even with such few numbers & very little manpower.--By sudden surprise attacks in unexpected places & weak spots in the enemy's armour you can do a lot of damage! You can hit & run before the enemy even knows what happened--before he even has a chance to retaliate. You can choose the time & place of attack, with lightning strikes, & disappear as quickly as they appeared, like little David with Goliath.--One little guerilla defied a whole army, like Gideon & his little band, a bunch of guerillas who defied a whole army; like Jonathan & his armour-bearer, a couple more guerrillas who defied a whole army! And boy, if you've got God with you, you're unbeatable, no matter how small you are! Jonathan said, in that particular attack of his, "God is not limited by few or by many!"--1Samuel 14:6.

12. SO IT PAYS TO FACE YOUR FEARS, recognise they're there, decide between the real & the unreal, the Truth & the lie, & go to the attack to dispel the vaporous fiction of the fairy tale & to drive away the genuine reality of real threat!

13. WE'RE IN A SPIRITUAL WARFARE, & our weapons are not carnal but spiritual--mighty to the tearing down of strongholds! This is a picture of your attacking the strongholds of the Enemy & ripping them apart, destroying the opposition! Jesus said of the Church, in Matthew 16:18, "The gates of Hell shall not prevail (withstand) against it!"

14. THE PICTURE IS NOT OF THE CHURCH STANDING FAST BEHIND ITS CLOSED DOORS WHILE ALL HELL ATTACKS, but the picture Christ painted was of HELL trembling behind ITS closed doors, while the CHURCH was in an all-out ATTACK against Hell's gates, which were collapsing & crumbling under the weight of the power of God through His Church!

15. JUST LIKE YOU DO WHEN YOU GO OUT WITNESSING--right on the Devil's ground--right into HIS strongholds! YOU'RE launching the attack, YOU'RE picking its time & place, YOU'RE taking the initiative, you're overwhelming the Enemy by surprise & suddenness & often he doesn't even know what happened until it's all over! You've come, you've struck him, you've wounded him & you've carried off some of his prey before he had a chance to get organised or retaliate or call the cops or decide what to do about you--because you came, you saw, you conquered!--And you hit him so hard he didn't have a chance to recover until you were already gone!

16. THE ENEMY NEVER KNOWS WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO NEXT! He doesn't know what kind of a shenanigan you're going to pull next and you've put him on the defensive! He rocks and reels from sudden blow after sudden blow, so that he has no time to organise an attack on you, he's too busy defending himself! In this way, tiny guerilla forces and commando units can keep an entire numerically-superior conventional army at bay, and an army continually on the defensive will never get anywhere!

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty - Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. Psalms 91:1, 14 KJV

17. THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS A WAR WHICH IS NOT WON OR LOST! You're either winning or losing! And if you're not winning it, you're losing it!

18. IT'S ALMOST LIKE A SIEGE OF A CITY in olden days. Sometimes the city would last several years--a city surrounded entirely by the enemy's armies, cut off from the rest of the World, from reinforcements & supplies which finally dwindled down to nothing, in food, manpower & ammunition, & became so weak, while the enemy just sat there & patiently waited & didn't even have to attack--because the city wasn't attacking!

19. YOU GET WEAK FROM SITTING STILL! YOU GET WEAK FROM DOING NOTHING, as the church has for generations now. You become totally incapable of even defending yourself, much less launching an attack, while the Enemy gets stronger & stronger from one attack after another--from action, aggression, movement, invasion! You become weakened by a false sense of security, behind barred gates & closed doors & blinded eyes & the desire just to hold on to what you have without gaining any ground!

20. YOU CAN BE DESTROYED BY DEFENDING, INSTEAD OF ATTACKING! NEVER LET YOURSELF GET PUT ON THE DEFENSIVE! Never let THEM do all the talking, ask all the questions, give all the answers! Sock it to them with the Word of God! Survey their condition, find the chinks in their armour, the weakness in their defense, then launch the attack with the Sword of the Spirit! Don't let them put YOU on the defensive or you're doomed to defeat!

21. SURE, WE'LL HAVE CASUALTIES! Sure, we'll have losses! Sure, we'll have wounds!--But we'll win, because we cannot lose! It's impossible, for God is with us! And we're on the offensive! We're moving! We're attacking! We're active! We're DOING something, getting things done!--ACTING, not just talking!--SAMPLES, not just Sermons!--ACTIVISTS, not just theorists!--Converting, changing, conquering!

22. ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS FOR OUR SUCCESS HAS BEEN OUR WILLINGNESS TO FACE THE FACTS, to tell it like it is & know where it's at!--To refuse to continue to drift along in that dream-world of religion, but to stand like a tree against the storm, like a rock against the floods, & then to move to the attack!

23. WE'VE FACED THE FACTS, FACED THE FEARS & DECLARED WAR ON HYPOCRISY--war on their lies--war on their deceptions & delusions--& we are determined to destroy, to cast down, to uproot that which is false!--Actively!--Offensively!--That the Lord may plant & build the Truth & His True Church in its place! Hallelujah! "Onward Christian Soldiers, marching in His War, with the Cross of Jesus, going on before!"

24. HE'S TAKING THE WEAK THINGS TO CONFOUND THE MIGHTY, & the things which are not as though they were! He's made something out of nothing--you & me! "Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit!" "Not of works" but "by grace through faith", & the gates of Hell shall not prevail against us! Hallelujah!

25. LET'S GO! ATTACK! YOU CAN'T LOSE, because they don't know how to fight! They don't have the right kind of weapons & they aren't facing the facts! They don't know the Truth!

26. FACE THE ENEMY! ATTACK HIM! "Resist the Enemy & he'll flee from thee!" Praise God! Face the fear of Man in the power of His Spirit on the promises of His Word & you cannot fail! Praise God!

Free Will

Do we really have free will?

At the societal level, the assumption that we have free will is an essential requirement. In fact, our legal system is premised on this assumption, and that we must take personal responsibility for our actions. If a person is tried legally and found to be in violation of the law of that country or state, then he or she is likely to face some form of punishment, even including the death penalty. In some cases, if a person's action is found to be commendable, he or she may be rewarded.

A person's socialization, that is, the type of home and social environment in which he or she was brought up, especially in the earlier stages of life, may be related to his/her actions or behaviour in later life; however, this is not necessarily so. The legal system normally does not make provision for this factor. A person who is legally tried and found guilty of a violation of the law, even if he/she was raised in an “adverse” environment, that is, a “broken home” with a lack of love and support from his/her significant others, and in a “high crime rate” neighbourhood, cannot expect any special consideration from the legal system. The system insists that, regardless of a person's socialization, he or she has “free will” and personal responsibilty for his/her behaviour.

Perhaps, future research may show that a person's genetic make-up may predispose him/her to certain behaviours that violate the legal system; this is only a suggestion. I am not aware of any such research findings at present.
Even if research uncovers such genetic evidence, this is unlikely to impact on the legal position that a person must take personal responsibilty for his/her behaviour.

Most theists, insist that we have “free will”, which is given to us by God.
God is normally viewed as being omniscient, infallible and omnipotent. My personal view is that if we accept those attributes of God, then there is a logical inconsistency between those attributes and the acceptance that human beings have “free will”. I have summarised this position in the following argument:


Premise 1:
To have free will, there must be no constraints on how one chooses to act.
One must be free to act how one chooses.

Premise 2:
God's foreknowledge places a constraint on one's actions.

God is omniscient and infallible. He knows everything - past, present and future.
God knows the future actions of everyone and since he can never be wrong,
one's future actions are constrained by God's foreknowledge since they must be in accordance with it.

Conclusion:
Therefore, in the context of God's foreknowledge, one does not have free will.


The question of whether God's foreknowledge “causes” one to act in a certain way is irrelevant; besides, this blog is not making such a claim.
The fact remains that one cannot act outside the constraints of Gods foreknowledge.


In summary, I agree that I have the freedom to act according to what I honestly feel or believe to be my free will. Thus, relative to my thinking, I am exercising free will, that is, with no constraints.

However, if God knows how I am going to act, even before I do so, and since I have to act in accordance with God's foreknowledge and I cannot do otherwise, I do not have free will.

As an analogy, I exercise my free will within a box, or limited space, constrained by God's foreknowledge.
The question here is:

Is such “free will” really “FREE”?


In the context of God's foreknowledge with respect to the actions of everyone, and if our actions determine our ultimate fate, then God already knows what our ultimate fate will be. Based on this, Reform theologian John Calvin, argued that some people are predestined to be saved and some are predestined to be damned, and there is nothing anyone can possibly do about it.


What do you think?

If I sleep, do you exist?

The bizarre nature of reality as laid out by quantum theory has survived another test, with scientists performing a famous experiment and proving that reality does not exist until it is measured.

Physicists at The Australian National University (ANU) have conducted John Wheeler's delayed-choice thought experiment, which involves a moving object that is given the choice to act like a particle or a wave. Wheeler's experiment then asks - at which point does the object decide?

Common sense says the object is either wave-like or particle-like, independent of how we measure it. But quantum physics predicts that whether you observe wave like behavior (interference) or particle behavior (no interference) depends only on how it is actually measured at the end of its journey. This is exactly what the ANU team found.

"It proves that measurement is everything. At the quantum level, reality does not exist if you are not looking at it," said Associate Professor Andrew Truscott from the ANU Research School of Physics and Engineering.

Despite the apparent weirdness, the results confirm the validity of quantum theory, which governs the world of the very small, and has enabled the development of many technologies such as LEDs, lasers and computer chips.

The ANU team not only succeeded in building the experiment, which seemed nearly impossible when it was proposed in 1978, but reversed Wheeler's original concept of light beams being bounced by mirrors, and instead used atoms scattered by laser light.

"Quantum physics' predictions about interference seem odd enough when applied to light, which seems more like a wave, but to have done the experiment with atoms, which are complicated things that have mass and interact with electric fields and so on, adds to the weirdness," said Roman Khakimov, PhD student at the Research School of Physics and Engineering.

Professor Truscott's team first trapped a collection of helium atoms in a suspended state known as a Bose-Einstein condensate, and then ejected them until there was only a single atom left.

The single atom was then dropped through a pair of counter-propagating laser beams, which formed a grating pattern that acted as crossroads in the same way a solid grating would scatter light.

A second light grating to recombine the paths was randomly added, which led to constructive or destructive interference as if the atom had travelled both paths. When the second light grating was not added, no interference was observed as if the atom chose only one path.

However, the random number determining whether the grating was added was only generated after the atom had passed through the crossroads.

If one chooses to believe that the atom really did take a particular path or paths then one has to accept that a future measurement is affecting the atom's past, said Truscott.

"The atoms did not travel from A to B. It was only when they were measured at the end of the journey that their wave-like or particle-like behavior was brought into existence," he said.

Here in the UK an investigation into the Methodists church, whom have apologized for this abuse, over allocations into some 2,000 priests being involved in abuse of young children, over 7 decades.

They admit that most allegations were never listened to, Jimmy Saville and that other vial fat Politician Cyril smith all over again ?

Sorry but religion is a cloak to hide the perverts, in a religion that, like islam, dictates about whats right and how we should conduct ourselves, do the complete opposite and are fecking hypocrites.

Amiable Christian ‘Age of the Earth’ Discussion

by Power Point Paradise • May 11, 2015

The Christian panel are sweetly trying to keep “Christian Unity.” Of course “Christian unity” is not necessarily the same thing as “Here by shall all men know that ye are my disciples if ye love one another”, nor Jesus prayer that we all shall be ONE with Him and the Father.

Even Paul disagreed with Peter tremendously, but it seems from Scripture that Peter meekly accepted Paul’s correction. Paul at other times was definitely out of sorts with his friend Barnabas that his argument got so heated that they split apart. Paul was a fighter for what he believed in, and it took that kind of man to keep the early rot out or at least in check from an early church.

Hope you enjoyed that as much as I did. I enjoyed it as this is my field and even though I hate to identify myself as a YEC because of philosophical reasons not to be a reactionary to Darwinist lies, I know there is no leg to stand on for OEC. Old Eearth Darwnists would disagree of course, because of their religious beliefs.

I tend to agree with Stephen Meyer that the first thing to support is the existence of God, and I love to use Intelligent Design as a tool, especially DNA is a great witnessing tool to help young people believe, if they were stumbled by Darwinists or Atheists.

But I think that History is a neglected field of proof where as more and more evidence is actually appearing from that quarter like the “scientificality” of the Flood, the causes of the Flood, Flood geology, Astronomy supporting the age of the pyramids and the early Egyptians and Sumerians having mapped the stars and the earth, as shown by the prehistoric maps like Piri Reis and others.

As well as the REAL timing of the Ice Age as proven by proper Euhemerist dating of the sinking of the Bronze Age ruins by the Ice Age melting all over the world around 1500 BC, acc. to many historical legends (like the Mahabharata), seed research by Finkelstein, and much more evidence –as seen in our many articles on the subject– which makes Darwinians cringe inside and even drop that (sunken ruins) part of the conversation and drop the research as a hot potatoe! It is so convincing, that even New Age historians, like Hancock for example, become obvious Darwinian compromisers effectively.

Flood geology has become so much stronger through the research in Colorado University proving that the “Evolutionary” Geological Time Scale” is way too long – 99 % too long! (See our post on that in search)

I tend to agree with the last speaker about believers being embarrassed or intimidated by the Darwinian propaganda machine. I also agree with him that the Word of God speaks for itself about the approximate Age of the Earth, but also with Stephen Meyer that it is the last reasoning we should use in conversation with unbelievers!

Nobody doubts the timing of Jesus 4 BC – 30 AD. No one doubts the Babylonian captivity around 600 BC. Few Christians doubt the time of David around 1000 BC. And few Christians doubt the approximate timing of the Exodus around 1400 BC (give or take) or the timing of Abraham around 2000 BC.

The timing of the Flood however, is of course not that obvious or clear, even in Scripture, and there are several different estimates ranging from before 3000 BC up to around 2345 BC. However the Flood — no matter what the exact date may be– is still a great tool to lead people to a proper new ‘time paradigm instead of the failing “millions of years” mindset! The Flood has many arguments in store to win people over to faith in Genesis, which is very important in the longer run, as it theoretically could stumble Darwinian trained believers — which most of us were– from believing Genesis believing Jesus Himself!

God Does Something New

Embedded image from another site


God's love is like an evergreen; It is active in all seasons.
The mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him.
(Psalm 103: 17)

Written by Peter Amsterdam April 2015

When Jesus rose from the dead, His resurrection was the first phase of God’s new creation, a new kind of existence—a human body was transformed by the power of God into one that is no longer affected by death, decay, and corruption. Nothing like this had ever happened! “We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over Him.”1

His risen body wasn’t a spirit; it was physical, which His followers could touch. He taught them,2 walked with them,3 cooked for them,4 and ate with them.5 He was once together with 500 of them at one time.6 After 40 days,7 He ascended into heaven,8 where He sits at the right hand of God.9

As Christians, we too are part of God’s new creation. We can look forward to the time when Jesus will return and raise our bodies as well.10 The apostle Paul speaks about our bodies raised from death in terms of a seed that is planted, and from which the more complete plant grows.11 He goes on to explain that these new bodies will be imperishable, raised in glory and power as spiritual bodies.12

Being imperishable means our bodies will not have the weaknesses they have now. They won’t be affected by aging, sickness, or weariness as they are today. As one author wrote, “In these resurrection bodies we will clearly see humanity as God intended it to be.”13

When a person receives Jesus as their Savior, God’s Spirit comes to dwell within them and they are renewed and regenerated. Renewal is a renovation, a change in the believer for the better. Regeneration is the production of a new life consecrated to God, a radical change of mind. “When God our Savior revealed his kindness and love, he saved us, not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He washed away our sins, giving us a new birth and new life through the Holy Spirit.”14

As part of the new creation, God’s Spirit changes us, helping us to put on the mind of Christ, as we develop and reflect some of God’s characteristics by growing in love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.15

And that’s why we have so much to celebrate!—That God dwells in us and helps, guides, and renews us; that we are part of His new creation; that we will live eternally in our new bodies, with perfect health and no aging, sickness, or disease. This is the good news of the Gospel: the love that God has for each individual, the offer of everlasting life, of resurrection from the dead, of being a new creature in Christ Jesus today and a part of the overall new creation for eternity.

Message from Jesus April 2015

If you have found Me, you have found the secret to experiencing life to the full. I am far more than a historical character who lived and died 2,000 years ago. Because I rose from the dead, I am even more alive and active today than I was when I walked the earth. And because I live, you too can experience life and love as they were meant to be experienced, both here and now, and forever—boundless and eternal. There is no hurt that I can’t heal, no sadness that I can’t turn to joy, no need that I can’t provide, no void that I can’t fill.

I am alive today in each heart that welcomes Me. I am active and at work, always renewing, restoring, and replenishing, making everything better and more beautiful whenever I am given a chance. Let Me live in you!

JESUS IS THE WORD OF GOD!

God calls His Own Son the Word, His Word to us. What is a word? A word is a means of communication. A word is something that you say. It means something. What is the Word of God?--Jesus!

God wanted to show the world His Love.--So what did He do? You can't see Love, you can't see God, so He sent His Word! He said it in Jesus! He showed it in Jesus! He expressed it in Jesus! He communicated it in Jesus! Jesus was all of that! He was the expression of God's Love, He was the meaning of God's Love, He was the communication of God's Love, He said God's Love, He showed God's Love, He symbolized God's Love, He manifested God's Love! He was God's Own Message of Love to us.

The first thing St. John says in His Gospel is: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him; and without Him was not anything made that was made" (Jn.1:1-3). It seems that only John really grasped the deepest and greatest meaning of Jesus, that Jesus was the Word of God, the Expression of God, the Love of God, as well as the Son of God! Jesus was most of all the Word of God!

THE DEVIL HAS NEVER SUCCEEDED IN WIPING OUT FAITH IN GOD OR CHRISTIANITY, AND HE NEVER WILL!

Tribulations, persecutions and sufferings of God's children have been going on throughout the world ever since the world began, and they couldn't have suffered any more than they have suffered.--But they survived!

For a thousand years of the Dark Ages the true Church had to go underground while the whorish System of Babylon reigned supreme! But all of that time, tiny bands of true Christians, united only in love, the Spirit and the Word, managed to survive by the Grace of God throughout the world despite every attempt to stamp them out, every effort to burn their Bibles and destroy their numbers through torture, intimidation and martyrdom. They had no central leadership but the ever-present prophets of God; no formal organization but the unity of the Spirit; no common bond but His Love; and no doctrine but His Word. And yet they have survived until this day despite every effort to crush them and liquidate them, and completely exterminate them!

Millions of Christians have suffered and been persecuted and been slaughtered for their faith, and yet there are more millions of people with faith in God today than ever, in fact billions!--And always have been and always will be!--Praise God?--Hallelujah!

5 Ways Pessimism is Ruining Your Life!

ARE YOU A NEGAHOLIC? 5 WAYS PESSIMISM IS RUINING YOUR LIFE
Negative Thinking is Powerful—And Not in a Good Way

By Michael Hyatt

Norman Vincent Peale published The Power of Positive Thinking in 1952. But it’s only more recently that we’re learning about the destructive power of negative thinking.

A few years ago, an author cornered me at a publishing conference to complain about his agent, gripe about his publicist, and grumble about his publisher. It was beyond awkward. I tried to change the subject, but he persisted.

Maybe you’ve had a similar experience. I was trapped, and I couldn’t escape!

Some people are relentlessly negative. It’s like they derive their significance from feeling wronged, put upon, and persecuted. You know what it’s like to be around people like this. Everyone is an idiot but them. Nobody can do anything right. Life is rigged.

Whatever satisfaction people get from being negative, I hope it’s enough—because it’s about the only benefit they’re getting. Meanwhile, it’s costing them plenty.

Whatever you get from being negative, I hope it’s enough. Because it’s costing you plenty.-MICHAEL HYATT

In general, pessimists don’t perform as well in life as optimists, according to psychologist Michael Scheier. They “tend to deny, avoid, and distort the problems they confront, and dwell on their negative feelings,” he says.

And the costs only go up from there. Here are just five ways pessimism can ruin your life:

Pessimism kills your creativity. If we want to thrive in our present economy, it’s critical that we offer creative solutions to difficult problems. But pessimism not only kills your own creativity, as Neil Wadhwa says, it also ends up killing the creativity of those around you.

Pessimism harms you emotionally. Research shows that while positive thinking wears off, negative thinking sticks with us for weeks. We may have to work at staying positive, but going negative is easy. And every time you remember a negative thought, your sense of well-being takes a dive.

Pessimism keeps you down professionally. Negative thoughts are often demotivating and can really impact job performance. If you’re heart’s not in your job, leaders and colleagues will notice. And you’ll watch promotions and other opportunities pass you by.

Pessimism damages relationships. As the saying goes, perception is reality. If you’re always thinking and communicating the worst, you’ll turn people off and drive them away. Instead of growing closer, they’ll start looking for excuses to be someplace else with somebody different.

Pessimism makes you sick. You’ve heard of the placebo effect. Researchers have also documented what they call the “nocebo effect.” When we think we’ll get sick, we tend to actually do so. Negative thinking not only drives up our stress levels, it also can lead to heart attacks and other serious health problems, including dementia.

It’s popular to promote counter-intuitive reasons pessimism can be helpful to us. But here’s the truth. I’ve never met a single leader or entrepreneur who was both pessimistic and successful. Why? Negaholics just aren’t up for what it takes to win.

I’ve never met a leader or entrepreneur who was both pessimistic and successful.-MICHAEL HYATT

I finally got free from my pessimistic author friend. I saw an opportunity and ran. I felt immediate relief. His negative attitude wasn’t doing me any favors. It wasn’t doing him any favors either.

Muslim dating sites....

Iran has opened up a muslim dating site purely for Muslims, because the the other 30 plus ones that are currently available in Iran are promoting naughty business.

Now there are arguments that the Muslim way of life is great, yet the divorce rate in Iran for under 30's is over 22%. What you do is fill in all your info, what you like, sports, food etc and its the moderators that will match you up..then , with the blessing of a Mullah, you will be allowed to met from between 30-90 minutes with the blessing of the parents to, her parents !

This way they can monitor you so you are not just in it for sex, like all the others. The problem is that its allowed for married men to use this site to find more wives. But Married women must not and the punishment is to be stoned to death if found out, although this is rarely carried out.

So fill in your forms and get dating.....stones at the ready..doh
