Scars of Life
Some years ago, on a hot summer day in South Florida, a little boy decided to go for a swim in the old swimming hole.
In a hurry to dive into the cool water, he ran out the back door, leaving behind shoes, socks, and shirt as he went. He flew into the water, not realizing that as he swam toward the middle of the lake, an alligator was swimming toward shore.
His father, working in the yard, saw the two as they got closer and closer together.
In utter fear, he ran toward the water, yelling to his son as loudly as he could.
Hearing his voice, the little boy became alarmed and made a U-turn to swim to his father. It was too late. Just as he reached his father, the alligator reached him.
From the dock, the father grabbed is little boy by the arms just as the alligator snatched his legs. That began an incredible tug-of-war between the two. The alligator was much stronger than the father, but the father was much too passionate to let go.
A farmer happened to drive by, heard his screams, raced from his truck, took aim and shot the alligator.
Remarkably, after weeks and weeks in the hospital, the little boy survived. His legs were extremely scarred by the vicious attack of the animal. And, on his arms, were deep scratches where his father's fingernails dug into his flesh in his effort to hang onto the son he loved.
The newspaper reporter who interviewed the boy after the trauma, asked if he would show him his scars. The boy lifted his pant legs. And then, with obvious pride, he said to the reporter, "But look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms too. I have them because my Dad wouldn't let go."
You and I can identify with that little boy. We have scars, too. No, not from an alligator, but the scars of a painful past. Some of those scars are unsightly and have caused us deep regret.
But, some wounds, my friend, are because God has refused to let go. In the midst of your struggle, He's been there holding on to you.
The Scripture teaches that God loves you. You are a child of God. He wants to protect you and provide for you in every way. But sometimes we foolishly wade into dangerous situations, not knowing what lies ahead. The swimming hole of life is filled with peril - and we forget that the enemy is waiting to attack.
That's when the tug-of-war begins - and if you have the scars of His Love on your arms, be very, very grateful. He did not and will not ever let you go.
Please pass this on to those you love. God has blessed you, so that you can be a blessing to others.
You just never know where a person is in his/her life and what they are going through. Never judge another person's scars, because you don't know how they got them.
Also, it is so important that we are not selfish, to receive the blessings of these messages, without forwarding them to someone else. Right now, someone needs to know that God loves them, and you love them, too - enough to not let them go.
Always Tell Your Family And Friends How Much You Love Them!!!
FRIENDS ARE ANGELS WHO LIFT US TO OUR FEET WHEN OUR WINGS HAVE TROUBLE REMEMBERING HOW TO FLY.

Spiriitual Sharing - The Middle East
In January 2007, in pondering the "Middle East" crisis, I asked God through Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ by His Beloved Holy Spirit to reveal to me "the spiritual" reason behind the manifest crisis.
On January 20th, 2007, I was guided to look in Genesis. Genesis 16:7-15.
Genesis 16:7: "And the angel of the LORD found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur."
8. "And he said, Hagar, Sarai's maid, whence camest thou (where did you come from)? and whither wilt thou go? And she said, I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai."
9. "And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands (obey her)."
10. "And the angel of the LORD said unto her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude."
11. "And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy affliction."
12. "And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren."
13. "And she called the name of the LORD that spake unto her, Thou God seest me (El roi, that is, God is seeing): for she said, Have I also here looked after him that seeth me?"
14. "Wherefore the well was called Beerlahairoi; behold it is between Kadesh and Bered."
15. "And Hagar bare Abram a son: and Abram called his son's name, which Hagar bare, Ishmael."
I was then guided to Genesis 21:10-21:
Genesis 21:10: "Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac."
11. "And the thing was very grievous (hard) in Abraham's sight because of his son."
12. "And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac thy seed shall be called."
13. "And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed (descendant)."
14. "And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle (skin) of water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beer-sheba."
15. "And the water was spent (gone) in the bottle, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs."
16. "And she went, and sat her down over against him a good way off, as it were a bowshot: for she said, Let me not see the death of the child. And she sat over against him, and lift up her voice, and wept."
17. "And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is."
18. "Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation."
19. "And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink."
20. "And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer."
21. "And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt."
I was then guided to Genesis 25:12-18
Genesis 25:12: "Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bare unto Abraham:"
13. "And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: the first born of Ishmael, Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,"
14. "And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,"
15. "Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:"
16. "These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their towns, and by their castles (encampments); twelve princes according to their nations."
17. "And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, an hundred and thirty and seven years: and he gave up the ghost and died; and was gathered unto his people."
18. "And they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur, that is before Egypt, as thou goest toward Assyria: and he died in the presence of all his brethren."
"Havilah" is the land spoken of in Genesis 2:10-11: Genesis 2:10: "And a river went (flowed) out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads."
11. "The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth (surrounds) the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;"
And in Genesis 2:14 we are told: "And the name of the third river is Hiddekel (Tigris): that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria (Asshur). And the fourth river is Euphrates.
So we see that the land of Ishmael was quite vast and today we can trace a portion of it from Egypt to the River Euphrates which is in the "Middle East".
From "Smith's Bible Dictionary", I was shown: "The sons of Ishmael peopled the north and west of the Arabian peninsula, and eventually formed the chief element of the Arab nation, the wandering Bedouin tribes. They are now mostly Mohammedans, who look to him as their spiritual father, as the Jews look to Abraham."
"A Dictionary Of The Bible" by William Smith, L.L.D.; Revised and Edited by F.N. and M.A. Peloubet; Thomas Nelson Publishers, Nashville.
I was next guided back to "presence" in Genesis 16:12 and into the dictionary:
"presence"- an influence or a supernatural or divine spirit felt to be present.
Webster's New World College Dictionary, Fourth Edition; Michael Agnes, Editor In Chief; David B. Guralnik, Editor In Chief 1951-1985; Copyright 2002 by Wiley Publishing, Inc., Cleveland, Ohio.
Having been told that "Ishmael" would be a "wild man", the presence would be a supernatural spirit (of darkness).
I was then given a chart and a Prayer to: bind and destroy the anti-christ and Ishmael (wild man) spirits in addition to the jezebel, fault-finding, anger, suicide and poverty spirits in the Name of Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ.:
+++ Abraham's Seed (under The Old Covenant)+++
Ishmael - Mohammed -------+------- Isaac - Jesus
++++ Anti-Christ ++++ ----------- +++ Christ +++
+-------- Arabs -------+ ---------- +++ Jews +++
Definition of Anti-Christ from "The Bible" (The Word of God).
1 John 2:18-26:
1 John 2:18: "Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that anti-christ shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know (realize) that it is the last time."
19. "They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest (obvious) that they were not all of us."
20. "But ye have an unction (anointing) from the Holy One, and ye know all things."
21. "I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth."
22. "Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son."
23. "Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: [but] he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also."
24. "Let that therefore abide (remain) in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father."
25. "And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life."
26. "These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce (deceive) you."
1 John 4:1-6
1 John 4:1: "BELOVED, believe (trust) not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world."
2. "Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:"
3. "And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world."
4. "Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world."
5. "They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them."
6. "We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know (recognize) we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error."
2 John 5-11:
2 John 5: "And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another."
6. "And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it."
7. "For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist."
8. "Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought (worked for), but that we receive a full reward."
9. "Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not (does not belong to) God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath (belongs to) both the Father and the Son."
10. "If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:"
11. "For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds."
On April 16, 2007, the Virginia Tech Massacre took place in Blacksburg, Virginia. The perpetrator, Seung-Hui Cho killed 32 people and wounded 25 others. After which he committed suicide.
Seung-Hui Cho, prepared in advance a "manifesto" and mailed it to the New York headquarters of NBC News. The package was addressed from "A. Ishmael." Seung-Hui Cho also wrote "Ismail Ax" in red ink on his arm.
Each of the links above connects to a piece of "darkness" that affected all of us, if you desire a greater understanding. Though not of "Middle Eastern Descent", I am certain that Seung-Hui Cho was seduced by a spirit of darkness.
For me, my prayer is that in "obeying" the instructions given to me (a Prayer to: bind and destroy the anti-christ and Ishmael (wild man) spirits in addition to the jezebel, fault-finding, anger, suicide and poverty spirits in the Name of Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ and The Power of His Presence. And loose the Light, Love and Peace of Christ in, through, around and upon His World-Beloved Mother Earth-Terra Firma, in The Name of Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ and The Power of His Presence.) made a difference in what happened and what might have happened.
Only in "Eternity" will I know "The Truth."
If you are so guided, please join me in praying for: the binding and destroying the jezebel, fault-finding, anger, poverty, suicide, anti-christ and Ishmael (wild man) spirits in the Name of Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ and The Power of His Holy Presence. And loosing the Light, Love and Peace of Christ in, through, around and upon His World-Beloved Mother Earth-Terra Firma, in The Name of Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ and The Power of His Holy Presence.
In closing, I would like to say I am speaking only of the dissidents in the "Middle East" and not all of the people of "Middle Eastern" descent. And I am speaking of the spiritual effect, be it light or dark upon we the people.
Thank you for allowing me to share.

Who Are We As Christians? Part 8
Beloved Almighty Lord Jesus Christ As Our Great High Priest Part 7
Hebrews Chapter 9:
8. "The Holy Ghost this signifying (showing by this), that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest (opened), while as the first tabernacle was yet standing:"
9. "Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect (complete), as pertaining to conscience;"
10. "Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers (various) washings, and carnal ordinances (fleshly regulations), imposed on them until the time of reformation."
11. "But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;"
12. "Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us."
13. "For if the blood of bulls and goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth (set apart) to the purifying of the flesh:"
14. "How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge (clean) your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?"
15. "And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament (agreement), that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions (sins) that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance."
16. "For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator (maker)."
17. "For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator (maker) liveth."
18. "Whereupon neither (not even) the first testament (agreement) was dedicated (established) without blood."
22. "And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission."
23. "It was therefore necessary that the patterns (copies) of things in the heavens should be purified (cleansed) with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these."
24. "For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are figures (examples) of the true (real one); but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:"
25. "Nor yet he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;"
26. "For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world (ages) hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself."
27. "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:"
28. "So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation."
Hebrews Chapter 10:
1. "For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image (exact reality) 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 (cleansed) should have had no more conscience (awareness) of sins."
5. "Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not (you did not want), but a body hast thou prepared me:"
7. "Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God." (Psalm 40:7)
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 thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish (introduce) the second."
10. "By the which will we are sanctified (set apart) through the offering of the body of Christ once and for all."
12. "But this man (He), after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;"
13. "From henceforth expecting (waiting) till his enemies be made his footstool."

Hebrews Chapter 9:
8. "The Holy Ghost this signifying (showing by this), that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest (opened), while as the first tabernacle was yet standing:"
9. "Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect (complete), as pertaining to conscience;"
10. "Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers (various) washings, and carnal ordinances (fleshly regulations), imposed on them until the time of reformation."
11. "But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;"
12. "Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us."
13. "For if the blood of bulls and goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth (set apart) to the purifying of the flesh:"
14. "How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge (clean) your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?"
15. "And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament (agreement), that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions (sins) that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance."
16. "For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator (maker)."
17. "For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator (maker) liveth."
18. "Whereupon neither (not even) the first testament (agreement) was dedicated (established) without blood."
22. "And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission."
23. "It was therefore necessary that the patterns (copies) of things in the heavens should be purified (cleansed) with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these."
24. "For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are figures (examples) of the true (real one); but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:"
25. "Nor yet he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;"
26. "For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world (ages) hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself."
27. "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:"
28. "So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation."
Hebrews Chapter 10:
1. "For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image (exact reality) 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 (cleansed) should have had no more conscience (awareness) of sins."
5. "Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not (you did not want), but a body hast thou prepared me:"
7. "Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God." (Psalm 40:7)
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 thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish (introduce) the second."
10. "By the which will we are sanctified (set apart) through the offering of the body of Christ once and for all."
12. "But this man (He), after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;"
13. "From henceforth expecting (waiting) till his enemies be made his footstool."
14. "For by one offering he hath perfected (completed) for ever them that are sanctified (set apart)."
15. "Whereof the Holy Ghost (Holy Spirit) also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,"
16. "This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;"
17. "And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more."
18. "Now where remission (forgiveness) of these is, there is no more offering (sacrifice) for sin."
19. "Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,"
20. "By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated (prepared) for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;"
21. "And having an high priest over the house of God;"
22. "Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water."
23. "Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised);"
24. "And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:"
25. "Not forsaking (neglecting) the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting (encouraging) one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching."
26. "For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,"
27. "But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries (God-haters)."
29. "Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto (insulted) the Spirit of grace?
30. "For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people." (Deuteronomy 32:35-36)
31. "It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God."
32. "But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions;"
33. "Partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock (object of ridicule) both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst ye became companions of them that were so used."
35. "Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompense (promise) of reward."
36. "For ye have need of patience (persistence) that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise."
37. "For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry (delay)."
38. "Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him."
39. "But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition (destruction): but of them that believe to the saving of the soul."
