EPH 1:17-18
I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you spiritual wisdom and revelation in your growing knowledge of him.
I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.
Christ sets us free from bondage on the inside and that creates a free man on the outside, as well as a person that is able to self govern through Godly Morals. I have been studying real history that can be verified as being true. The public schools are funded by the government and therefore on the government's agenda. Initially schools were set up to teach the children to be able to read the Bible so that they could continue from generation to generation to secure the blessing of liberty that our ancestors fought so hard to have for us. The schools were not funded by the government, they were locally funded and initially in a home-schooling atmosphere. America was setup for religious freedom to worship Christ in the way that we felt we needed to in our hearts without persecution. I say Christ because they said Christ. Separation of Church and State was added to protect us from the government telling us how we could worship Christ or that we could not worship Him at all. It was not meant to be used to take God out of the political realm or out of schools. The government has violated this right by condemning the Bible in schools and or any discussion that speak of God or our beliefs. Another right violated, Freedom of Speech...There is a term for hushing us and it's called, "politically correct".. It is very clever how they are turning us against each other with this and distracting us as they systematically strip away our liberties (satan works the same way).. I am not afraid to speak my beliefs and will not be hushed to soothe the conscience of another. I will remain respectful to others, but will not allow them to squelch my beliefs because they are not strong enough in their own and feel threatened by my voicing mine. I will act in love as I am called to do and love does not withhold rebuke when it is needed. God blessed us with a country of freedom because we the people, relied on His provision daily and thanked Him fervently for our blessings. We were obedient to His Word and we secured our liberty because of it. We have shifted our reliance to our government in many cases and have taken God out. “Those who will not be Governed by God will be Ruled by Tyrants". William Penn.. It is OK if you do not believe or agree with what I am saying but at least study the history of our founding Fathers and the ideas behind the men with the vision that they had for our America and why America presently has her liberties, the real history and not what they are teaching today in our schools.. It could change your way of thinking and while that can be scary, the Truth also sets us free.. "Rebellion against tyrants is obedience to God." - Benjamin Franklin

http://www.catholicapologetics.org/ap080500.htm Pope Pius XII, declared infallibly, ex cathedra: "Mary, having completed the course of her earthly life, was assumed body and soul to heavenly glory." (The Magisterium has stayed cospicuously silent regarding whether this process entailed Mary's physical death. The teaching merely states that Mary's body and soul were assumed at the completion of the course of Mary's life.) Ex catheda, in the Catholic world means that the Pope spoke these words as guided by Spirit and they can never be untrue, infallible (no human on Earth is infallible and that includes the pope. It is not found in the Bible. Pay close attention to the history defined at this Catholic site below. It appears to have changed over time to suit the time period (God's words are timeless and the same today as they were yesterday, that is Truth). Falling asleep in those days refereed to someone that had died. http://catholicism.about.com/od/holydaysandholidays/p/Assumption.htm
The verses below are the only accounts that you will find in the Bible, regarding people that went up to Heaven in any other way besides dying a physical death. Jesus ascended into Heaven but He did die a physical death first. There is nothing in the Bible that states that Mary did not die a physical death. She took up her Cross, followed Jesus and died a physical death to be raised again. Again, there is little regarding Mary at all in the Bible. It's just another attempt to distract you from Truth of Jesus and why He came and what we all have available to us through Him. Total Grace, nothing we will or could ever do on our own. Mary was under this Grace as well. She was a humble servant of the Lord and the vessel He chose to bear Jesus. It had nothing to do with Mary and everything to do with our Lord Jesus Christ!
2 KINGS 2:11 And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.

5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

Yesterday on my walk, I saw children playing at the playground. I hadn't decided what my Biblical reading of the day was until I saw them. I observed them for a couple of laps and pondered the verse above that I knew was in the Bible someplace. As I opened the Bible, yes it opened up right to it and it was the first thing I saw. Things like this are of no coincidence.
I started thinking of how He told us change our beliefs and become as little children. What are some things that set a part children from the adults?
They believe what you tell them
They do not have a problem receiving gifts:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCvBzb1fhBg
They do not worry about how they are going to pay bills or how they will get the things that they need to survive. They trust their Mommy and Daddy will take care of that.
They have fun and they do not care who is watching.
They are not afraid to ask questions and listen to the answer.
They sing and dance and do not care who is watching or listening.
They are genuine with others and do not feel the need to mask who they are or how they feel.
They make friends with everyone and do not care about differences in appearance.
They have no problem showing affection in public.
I challenge you to take some time to observe a group of young children. 1-4 years old. It seems this age group is a good on that has not had enough time yet to soak in too many poor life experiences to have it change their outlook. Are you able to see yourself in them still today? If so, you are the right track.
A friend of mine sent this to me today on a Facebook message:
1 Peter 4:8. Love covers over sin. Praying that you feel loved and peaceful and safe today. Light always overcomes the darkness and love covers sin. Let your light and your love do their thing today!
Tonight I watched this movie. It was the first time that I was unable to remember the movie that had come before it in a three part series. It dawned on me while watching it that I had posted about The Hobbit part one, An Unexpected Journey.. I decided however to watch the rest of part two before I looked to see what it was.
In part two, there is a girl elf named Tauriel. I felt as if He was telling me that I am like this elf but have lost sight of the power that I posses in Christ. She had a quest of her own in this movie and that was to keep darkness from settling over the land that she was fighting with a man that is like a brother to her, Legolos. In one part of the movie, she is healing a man name Kili, (whom she later grows to love) and a bright light shines from her as she is doing so. I do not want to spoil too much of the movie since it is a newer release. Tonight, it is cold and rainy out. How fitting for God to speak the same message to me over again through the same movie on the same kind of a night. I really needed to see this message again. I am supposing there are others that need it as well..Remember, we are all like Tauriel and Legolos on the same quest.

I received a birthday gift from a dear friend of mine. It arrived in a silver box with my full name engraved on the top. It reminded me of the type of gift box that may have been like one that the three kings had presented to Jesus so long ago. Inside there was a black velvet pouch that had another pink velvet pouch inside of that. This pouch had a set of silver dog tags in it. The top plate has a trellis like design and a cut out heart so that you can see through it to the bottom plate. The front of the bottom plate has my Army Serial number art323, my position Disciple of God (DOG) and the back of that same plate has HOPE 111 engraved on it. When the top plate is directly aligned with the bottom, you can see the words OF GOD inside the heart that is on the top plate. The initials are smaller case to remind me to stay humble. The message of HOPE 111 was a revelation that God had shared with me a few years ago that I had shared with my friend.
I remember before this package had arrived that day, I was in the restroom at work and when I looked in the mirror, I had acknowledged that the outfit I was wearing reminded me that I am in the Army of Lord. It was a black T shirt with a silver Jesus Fish and Capri's that had camouflage on them.
Some may call this a coincidence but I know that it was not. It was a confirmation for me that I am a part of His Army. It was as if He was handing me the dogs tags Himself.
For the last few years I had made it a point to have dinner on Monday nights at my Mom's, (who lived with my Grandma),. I brought my son with me, and eventually my Brother started coming and he would bring his girlfriend. Once Kyle started to date someone, he would bring her as well. Eventually, my brother started bringing his friends at times. Everyone had always been welcomed in that house and my loving Mother with a gift of serving had made it a feeling of home for all.
When I came to my Mom's house that night, I had noticed that every single person that was in the house had camouflage on. This was actually pretty unusual and even my Mom had it on. Granted hers was a Disney shirt with blue camouflage but camo nonetheless, LOL.
As I am writing this story now, I do so with a smile in my heart mixed with sadness and revelation. There has been much turmoil on my Grandmothers side of the family in the way of the siblings. They are all very kindhearted, loving people however the family was steeped in religion that bore it's natural fruit of judgement and condemnation, rather than love and mercy towards each other. Needless to say, once my Grandmother passed last year, it has only gotten worse. I am not sure why my Grandmother did not leave the house to my Mother who moved in with her and had taken care of her but I suppose it is not my place to judge her actions. I stand with a broken heart watching the family succumb to the spirit of Greed in ways that I could have never imagined. I guess in my heart, I thought they would do the right thing and let my Mom have the house. You see the house would not be if she had not moved in. Grandma could not make the payments so, she asked my Mother to move in with her. I love all of my family and I will always strive to believe the best and try to convince each of them to believe the same in each other. My Mom did not expect to be given the house, and agreed that the siblings are entitled to their inheritance. Over the last year I have seen and heard things that have really stretched my Faith. I have been moving my Mother for the last couple of months who is now an hour away from me :-(.. Life has been very hectic for me. I went from not having to suffer much loss to suffering a great amount of loss and it seems to continue to be more and more. It dawned on me today that the worst of this started right after I received my dog tags and how appropriate that I went to that house after having received them and all of my immediate family who are in this battle, were wearing camo as well.
Today is a colder rainy day. These are the types of days when I seem to be able to hear God the clearest. After feeling as if God has been anywhere but in my midst for the last few months, I watched the Hobbit this AM and then I read a book and prayed. It was through all of these vessels that God spoke very clearly to me. There is a scene in the Hobbit where there are Eagles that rescue the gang and sweep them away to a safe place on top of a mountain. They are able to see their homeland from this high point, that they have been trying to save on their journey. A dragon was able to steal it away from their ancestors when their kings heart became set on gold. I thought to myself, why didn't they just fly them over all the way? It was still a very long journey from where they were. I heard, because they will not be prepared to fight the battle unless they take the entire journey. For it is on the journey that they will experience trials that will teach them what cannot be taught by words. It is our trials that make us stronger, not our comfort. It is the time that it takes to make the journey that gives us the chance to have these experiences. If we lean in closer to God during these times and wait for Him with a Hopeful Heart, we can win the battle and the Kingdom He has promised us!
The last memory that I have on the last Monday we all shared together in Grandma's house was all of us hugging in a huge pact like formation telling each other that we love each other jumping up and down being goofy. My Mom who was sitting in a chair at that time even jumped up and joined in. I remember thanking God for giving me that memory to hold onto. I was hopeful that God by way of miracle would let my Mom keep the house. It appears the answer at this time is no but things are not always what they seem. Please if you are reading this post, pray for the peace of all in my family in the Will of God and restoration.. I pray for your peace in your life in the Will of God as well.
AND NOW TO YOU the reader.........................................
I was prompted to share this story with you and felt a prompting to relay a prophetic message to you. This post is anointed to get a Word to you today. If you are reading it, it is not by coincidence or chance. You were destined to read it and let it serve as a confirmation for you. There are feelings that you have already had on your heart about the spiritual warfare that is in our country and all around the world. You have seen the signs and YES, THIS IS WAR! God has been and will continue to prepare you for this battle. You are enlisted in His Holy Army. The best weapons that you have are your relationship to our Father, love and mercy. You look around and see pain all around but don't worry and keep pushing forward in FAITH and TRUST. God will work ALL things out for the good of those that LOVE HIM. Do not choose to let your heart grow cold in distrust in His Promises. WE NEED YOU! HOLD THE LINE!
If you are reading these words right now and thinking that no one in this world cares about you, know that I prayed that God would bring you here to see these words:
JESUS LOVES YOU SO MUCH THAT HE DIED ON THE CROSS SO THAT YOU WOULD NOT HAVE TO TASTE DEATH. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS BELIEVE IN THE SON OF GOD. RECEIVE HIS GIFT..
If you are looking for a reason to keep on living, this is it. You matter and you would be greatly missed.
It was about the year 2001 and I had just finished telling a friend of mine that was standing at my front door that I did not know if I believed in God anymore. The last thing that she said to me before she left was that I just needed to have Faith. She pointed to a small wind chime type Dreamsicle decoration (a cherub sitting on a rainbow that said Faith) that she had given to me at some point as a gift. It hangs in my living room still till this day. Feeling discouraged, I went into my room and threw myself across the bed. It must have been night because I remember that the lights were on. Within almost seconds of my putting my head face first into the pillow and closing my eyes, I saw through my mind's eye, what appeared to be a Haley's comet look alike coming straight towards me. There were other little stars too, that now reminds me of the old time screen saver in Windows. A black screen with the white stars flying all over. It startled me so much that I remember gasping as I yanked my head up off the pillow. I was sitting there for minute trying to comprehend what had just happened. I noticed in that moment, something over to the right of me next to my head. This area on my bed appeared to be moving in clear waves but there was nothing there. I kept trying to re-adjust my eyes by opening and closing them. It took me years before I realized the best way to explain what this form looked like. It was comparable to the heat waves that you see on blacktop when the sun hits it or coming off of a hot grill. There was no form to it but you could see it there. I decided that I had enough of seeing this and something must have been wrong with my eyes, so I turned over on my back and now my head was facing the bottom of my bed. To my surprise this did not make it go away. The formless waves were now at the end of my bed and had stretched out to a larger size vertically, to about the size of a person. It was strange because although the waves of what I now call energy were moving in one direction, the bottom of the waves were moving a different way and had a wispy, fluttery look and feel to them. I noticed that it was moving from the foot of my bed, down the side of it where I was laying. It was moving closer and closer. It was not moving fast but slowly and gently. I would have thought that I would have been terrified at this point, because I knew this was not natural and I knew it had to be a Spirit. I had an unusual feeling of peace come over me as it made its way down the side of my bed towards me. Halfway through its journey, I closed my eyes. Immediately an image of an angel with a harp seared into my minds eye. It was just the outline of this image, no face. It was as if I was looking at the end of a heated branding iron with this image, only instead of that glowing amber color, it was full of all colors just the outline. I opened my eyes right back up and the image was closer. I had an inner knowing that it was trying to communicate something to me. In my mind, I asked what message do you have for me? As the image moved in towards my face, I felt a feeling of comfort and love like I have never felt before or since. The waves went away and all I could see all around me was a billowy white color. Though there was still no form to it, it had a soft feeling to it. Though it did not have arms, I could feel it wrapped around my face as if it were hugging me. I then heard in a friends voice, "you just need to love Angela, you just need to love". I heard the word love a couple more times and then I was in a deep sleep until morning. All of this happened to me before I was walking closely with Jesus and I really didn't think much about it until about 2006. It was then that I started learning things about the Spiritual world and I was reminded of what happened in my room that night and tried to explain it to a few people and started researching spiritual visitations. It was amazing to me how similar these stories were to what I had seen. On 11-28-06, I was reading a paper while I was walking on my walk about manifesting. I kept repeating the words Faith, Faith, Faith and later on that walk Grace, Grace,Grace a red berry hit me in the nose that seemed to have fallen out of the sky, which caused me to look up. It was probably a bird that dropped it but when I looked up, I saw a vision that looked like this: I remember thinking that the middle where the sun sat was a portal/door of transformation. I could see various colors of the rainbow in the circle. I was not staring at the sun but in my mind, I pictured myself climbing in and it burning off of me anything that no longer served me, transforming me. As I was walking back from my lunch break, I remembered looking around and there were several little pine trees planted everywhere. Each one had a sapphire wavy blue color standing next to it. Like energy waves again but this time colored, it appeared that each one had a blue flame in the center of it. Sometime in 2007 or so that I saw HEATwaves dancing off the blacktop at my friends house and and I said, "THERE THAT IS IT, THAT IS WHAT THE FORM LOOKED LIKE". A couple of years after that and gaining more knowledge of the Spirit world, I had learned enough by that time to know that Spirits are energy, but why did it look like heat waves? It was dark outside (because my light was on) so, no sun shining in through the window. My furnace vent was over to the left of the top part of my bed, not down at the bottom. I don't remember if it would have been on or not because I do not remember the time of year. Either way, it could have never followed a path to from the bottom of my bed, down the side and to my face. I did not have an answer at that time so, I moved on. A friend of mine has a son that when he was 4-5 years old especially, would say things that a normal child his age does not normally say or talk about. The anointing on him was very strong. I could feel this from him. On 10-11-07 I was talking to her on the phone and I heard him talking and playing in the background. I had never done this before or since but I felt led to ask her, to ask him if he had a word for me. She asked him while she was still on the phone with me using my very words. Remember, he is a small child and no one had ever asked him anything like this before that time that I know of. Without missing a beat, he started speaking:
God always says that Angela is kind, special, created to God. He loves her very much all the way to the line. As he said the word line, he pointed out the window. My friend had tried to correct his saying created to God, feeling that it was surely created by God that he had meant to say. When he heard her change his words, he adamantly stopped her and corrected and let her know that it was exactly how he had said it.
On 8-16-12 I was able to connect the dots to everything that had happened to me with these stories up until this point. I sent an e-mail to my close spiritual sisters that I had read Psalm 19 that day and it all had made sense to me :
Psalm 19
King James Version (KJV)
19 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
4 Theirlineis gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
6 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
7 The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.
8 The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.
In the natural, one may read these words and feel that they are speaking of the sun, but I feel in my Spirit it is also symbolic of the SON.
I took this directly below from the article,(that I have placed for further reading at the end of this blog), and changed the wording to how I see it with my Spirit eyes: The most natural source of heat waves comes from the Son. Son rays tend to be absorbed into whatever they make contact with and in the process warm or heat up an exposed surface. Once absorbed, the heat waves cause the molecules contained inside an object (or water or air) to speed up. There is more, remember the circular rainbow and how I felt the Son was a door/portal of transformation? Remember, there are seven colors in the rainbow spectrum. See the verse below..... Electricity travels in closed loops, or circuits (from the word circle). It must have a complete path before the electrons can move. If a circuit is open, the electrons cannot flo
Revelation 4
King James Version (KJV)
4 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.
2 And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.
3 And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.
4 And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.
5 And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.
6 And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne
Energy appears in many forms within the physical environment. Heat is also a form of energy that you can't see, but you can feel it through the sense of touch. All forms of energy consist of waves of particles that carry energy inside them. Heat waves are characterized by certain wavelengths that move at particular speeds and intensities.
Electromagnetic Spectrum
The electromagnetic spectrum is made-up of different types of energy waves or wavelengths that appear in various forms within the physical environment. Sounds, colors and microwaves are all different types of energy waves according to the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. Heat wave energy--also known as infrared waves--sits just below the color or visible light portion of the spectrum. With radio wavelengths being the slowest and gamma rays being the fastest, heat energy waves move just a little slower than those that make up visible light.
Function
Energy waves are made up of a series of subatomic particles called photons. Photons move in wave-patterns that vary in length and intensity, according to the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. Each photon carries a certain amount of energy depending on the type of wavelength it moves inside. The longer, slower wavelengths found inside radio waves contain lower amounts of energy than gamma rays, which are shorter and faster waves. The length and speed of these wavelengths determine their frequency rates. Heat energy waves move just a little bit slower than those found within the visible light portion of the spectrum.
Heat Energy
As with most energy types, heat energy can be absorbed by objects, water and air. When this happens, energy is converted from one form to another, according to the California Institute of Technology. The most natural source of heat waves comes from the sun. Sun rays tend to be absorbed into whatever they makes contact with and in the process warm or heat up an exposed surface. Once absorbed, the heat waves cause the molecules contained inside an object (or water or air) to speed up. The faster these molecules move the warmer the object becomes.
Thermal Energy
The energy emitted by the sun comes in the form of thermal energy. The transfer of thermal energy to objects or air or water is done through the heat waves that enter, according to the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point. Sun rays are a type of radiation in which heat transfers through electromagnetic waves. This transfer of energy is what occurs when an object's molecular activity increases from ongoing sun exposure. Toasters, light bulbs and irons are a few of the many sources of thermal energy.
Energy Conversions
When temperatures continue to rise, heat wave energies can be converted into other wavelength forms, according to the Sprawls Educational Foundation. An example of this conversion process appears when certain types of metal objects are heated at extremely high temperatures. As the molecules increase in activity, the material gets hotter and may take on a reddish color. Further heating can cause a bluish or greenish coloring to develop. These changes in color represent the changes in wavelengths that take place as frequencies move up the electromagnetic spectrum.
I am presently focusing on my relationship with Christ and learning how to use my past life experiences to reach out to others who are hurting. My own need for mercy has made me a vessel of mercy. I believe that I will have a center for women someday. I would like to spare them the many heartaches that I have endured, by having a Christ centered support system available for them. My prayer is that God will use me in whatever way that He would like to advance His Kingdom. I am waiting for Him to direct my steps and tell me to GO.
