And they that are wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever.

Dear friend,
Be sure to be humble and repentant yourself for "all we like sheep have gone astray, done our own thing." Now you can fellowship His suffering
for how He has felt when we do our own thing............ and you can be more "HOT" towards Godliness, being close to the Holy Ghost and letting Him be close to you.............. TO PRESS INTO BEING THE PATH OF LIFE FOR OTHERS, as we see others that are not. To be willing to be THE LIGHT SHINING in a dark place. To pursue GODLINESS and obedience to the King as the ultimate and highest good..............
We are either heeding reproof and instruction and BEING THE PATH OF LIFE, or we are refusing and neglecting reproof and instruction and going astray and BEING A PATH.............. WE ARE ALL A PATH....... leading people SOMEWHERE!!!!!!!
And we HAVE THE ANSWER INSIDE OF US, the GOLD IS IN THERE, THE HOLY SPIRIT, all we have to do is LISTEN. And pray for those who don't, and give them our revelation about our own rebellion against the STILL SMALL VOICE....... that leads to LIFE!!!
God is for us, and we are for you............. THE TREASURE IS NOT OUT THERE IN THE WORLD SOMEWHERE, neither is success. TRUE SUCCESS IS HEARING THE VOICE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT INSIDE US!!! THAT'S WHERE OUR TREASURE SHOULD BE!!!!!!!!!!!
You know it's so cool to watch Dillon pursue Godliness and see the effect that has on others........... and the greatest value in life is to be the "light" in the darkness, and how amazing that Dillon at that age "get's it." He could have chosen to go astray with others (and it's a miracle that he didn't) and would have and been a path of destruction like his former friends NOW ARE!!! But he chose wisely...............and it's affected all these guys tremendously for good............. it's awesome to watch!!!!!!!
Love, Ceci

JOHN 17:21
21 That they all may be one, [just] as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be one in Us, so that the world may believe and be convinced that You have sent Me.
Hey Betty, (I wrote this 18 years ago)
I was thinking about the little foxes.... divisions, accusations, offenses today, the whiles of the devil to divide and make us covenant breakers.
There have been times the last 26 yrs where the devil has spoken to me about Gene...... "he won't listen to you, he won't understand...
he will always be this way, he's just a jerk that doesn't get it......... on and on and on..........." It's with our husbands and each other.
IT'S THE FIRE, that TESTS OUR SINCERITY. The problem is we are not very sincere in our love. And when we turn to Jesus, he SPEAKS TO US ACCORDING TO HIS WORD............ and it's not the voice of the accuser of the brethren. And seeking the WORD OF GOD, for our offences with others, HAS BEEN THE OPERATION TO CARVE GOD'S WORD IN MY HEART!!!! It is so AWESOME when you see it.
It's BEING SINCERE about really being a foot washer, a sheep feeder, a grave clothes taker offer. MOST PEOPLE WILL NOT HAVE THIS MAN JESUS to rule over them. THEY WANT NO PART in this. So the devil has his way in causing divisions......
I don't know if we have run into many other churches where PEOPLE EVEN CARE about HEARING FROM GOD when they are offended.
NOR do they care about ESTABLISHING the word to those who offend them. NOR will they get others involved in establishing the word.
AND THIS IS THE HYPOCRISY, that REMOVES children too......... children will never do what their parents refuse to do.
It's amazing how many people reject being washed by the water of the word....... and they won't take part in the saving and keeping of souls by washing others. THIS IS THE WHOLE BREAKDOWN in most churches today, and why so many are shutting their doors.
If I did not go after my pride w/ Gene, lied about my offenses, I would have caused division with my evil imaginations, my hands would have shed the blood of not only him who Jesus is trying to make innocent, BUT I NEVER WOULD HAVE WALKED IN THIS with any of you either. The devil is the master of evil imaginations.
Like the word says........... FEW WILL STIR THEMSELVES UP TO SEEK GOD. FEW REALLY FIGHT FOR THE UNITY OF THE FAITH, the bond of peace.
A GOOD MARRIAGE
The Lord will show you how to be a repairer of breeches if you are sincere in your love, and you will be blessed living to be a peacemaker!
God see's the meditation of your heart, and he will help you do what's right with others IF YOU REALLY CARE.
WHY I HAVE SUCH A WONDERFUL MARRIAGE AFTER 25 YEARS OF LIFE WITH MY HUSBAND...............I HAVE A SMALL VISION FOR WHERE JESUS WANTS TO TAKE THE CHURCH!!
How does passion and unity continue to get better? Well I had some thoughts on the subject today! I got a letter from a friend this morning, which made me start thinking of Ps.133. "Behold how good and pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It's like precious ointment.....it's like
the dew on the mountains.....there has the Lord commanded the blessing! It made me start thinking of my good marriage, and why others aren't so good, and why there is such dis-unity in the church.
Then I read part of David Wilkerson's newest letter to the church called "Satan seeks to devour you." He specifically addresses marriages under attack! Lives under attack. I thought of the scripture in Ecc. "The little foxes spoil the vine." It made me realize why love and passion is ever increasing in my own marriage..........BECAUSE WE GO AFTER, AND DEAL WITH THE "LITTLE FOXES!" Many married people don't even see the whiles
of the devil to destroy them and their relationships. I know that after years of marriage, the offences, criticisms, accusations, divisions (demilitarized zones) cause people to build walls against one another. So instead of becoming closer, DEMONIC STRONGHOLDS set in, and passion and love are out the window!
We need to learn to put on love rather than pride. To put on honesty, sincerity, and have the law of kindness in our mouths.
If we reject covenant with God and His people, SO WILL OUR CHILDREN. God is not mocked, what we sow we will reap
Rm. 12:5 "So we being many are one body in Christ, and everyone members of one another". 1 Cor.10:17 "for we being many are ONE BREAD, and one body, for we are all partakers of that one bread." 1Cor.1:10 "Now I beseech you , brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be NO DIVISIONS AMONG YOU, but that you be perfectly joined together......in the same mind, and in the same judgment! THIS MAY BE EXTREMELY HARD FOR YOU TO BELIEVE, BUT I ACTUALLY LIVE WITH A MAN IN A "SPIRIT OF UNITY!" We fight for unity, and to make sure there are no divisions between us! We deal with, kill, the "little foxes" that come to spoil our
relationship! Rather than being offended, we look to feed each other with understanding when there are problems. We seek the Lord, and humble ourselves to one another in the fear of the Lord. And we walk in this same spirit with the Christians we relate to.
2 Co.13:11 "Finally, brethren, Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace, and the God of love and peace shall be with you.
Eps. 4:3 "Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace." Ph.1:27 "only let you conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ,
that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel." 1Pet.3:8 "Be you all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous." In Phil. 4:2 Paul beseeches two of his loved ones to be of the same mind. Col. 2:2 "That their hearts might BE COMFORTED, being knit together in LOVE, and
unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding to the acknowledgment of the MYSTERY OF GOD, and of the Father, and of Christ."
DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE I HAVE MET, WHO DON'T EVEN BELIEVE UNITY IS EVEN POSSIBLE? They don't even have faith in what God say's in His word or what He promises to do for those who love Him. He stands behind women who are looking to love and do God's will in their husbands lives. And a woman of God has faith that God will deal with her husband if he refuses her kind words. She doesn't look to beat him into submission,
she knows and trusts in God's love and intentions for their marriage.
Many marriages get familiar with.........DISUNITY, STRIFE and they take on an unbelieving spirit that refuses to think unity is possible! When you loose a bad spirit into your marriage, contrary to love and faith, do you think it will sprout? If you loose love and faith, and have hope against hope, don't you think the God of all the Heaven's and earth is able to stand behind His Spirit? That's the spirit, the food you should be feeding your family. You need to think about what table you are eating from, the devils or God's?
For the bread, your words are life or death. If your mouth is an open grave, and everyone that EATS of the bread, the reaping will not be good! If you fling forth evil things how can you hope good to come from it?
I have to say here, There were many things that divided my husband and I when I first met him. And the first few years of our relationship were not really easy, because I doubted God and him, and didn't really know His heart towards me, or the Lord's to help us. He had more faith and trust in the Lord regarding me, while I was the despairing unbeliever, because I was offended and unhealed regarding men in general. I let the little foxes in
the door all the time and was a bit slow in chasing them back out the door. (contrary thoughts against him, merciless thoughts, where I didn't have much mercy in what I thought he was doing wrong. I hadn't removed the log from my eye to help remove the twig in his. I had gotten to the place in my life, where I was not content to live with DIVISIONS, and in a spirit of DISUNITY. I had lived in pretense too long in my past, and it had cost me
too much. I crossed over a line before I ever met my husband, that I would FIGHT FOR UNITY! There is NO COMFORT, when you have to live in a house divided among itself. When you have to hide, lie and pretend, and play God for someone who doesn't have a grip on their emotions. I decided I wasn't going to play God anymore. I was going to live honestly, and let the chips fall where they may, and let God be God. I got to the place when I met my husband, that I was going to be honest, sincere, speak the truth in love, and I WAS WILLING TO PUT THE RELATIONSHIP ON THE LINE FOR THE SAKE OF TRUTH! I wasn't going to hide, lie, and,only give "most of my heart", not "ALL OF MY HEART."
I heard a man talking about Ananias and Sapphira, and the principal of "holding back."
Whenever I have chosen to "hold back", a portion of my heart from my husband........not loving him with all my heart, mind and strength, not being open with him about my thoughts and emotions, it has brought DIVISION INTO OUR RELATIONSHIP! I know when I have done this, it's been a reflection of not loving the Lord with all my heart, mind, and strength. When I'm open and honest with Our Father, he helps me to be open and
honest with my husband.
How to keep the devil from getting ground in our lives. 1. By not forsaking the assembling, but exhorting one another. I see that when we do assemble, whether it be with our husband, or fellow Christian's, if we are half-hearted, we lie, are insincere, pretentious, content to be divided and are not hearing from God and speaking the truth in love.......UNITY ISN'T THERE! God is a spirit of truth and His spirit visits those walking in the light. He doesn't fellowship deceit....the father of lies.
2. Forgiveness.....THE BIG TEMPTATION, Jesus refers to in the Lords Prayer. "Forgive us our sins, as we forgive others......lead us not into the temptation of being unforgiving......DELIVER US FROM THIS GREAT EVIL! If we have a forgiving spirit, we can tell the truth in the right spirit, without sounding self-righteous.
3. If you have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, GLORY NOT....(how many people get familiar with running on STRIFE GAS). Strife is part of lying, and pretense. .where strife is so familiar, they cant' even tell they are striving? They loose a bad spirit on the earth and don't even care.
DON'T LIE TO YOURSELF....when your in strife. The devil will start talking to you....tickling your senses! It creates all kinds of confusion and evil
work! Blessed are the PEACE MAKERS, NOT THE STRIFE MAKERS!!!!
So......If 1 Cor. 10:17 is REALLY TRUE...."for we being many are ONE BREAD"????? What kind of bread are you?? What kind of bread is your marriage?? How about the Christians you walk with?? I remember speaking to a woman several years ago who was asking me what kind of church she should go
to back in Wisconsin where she lived. I said to her, "what ever you do, look very closely at the pastor and his wife. Ask yourself, do they walk in a spirit of faith, love, and unity? Can they work through their own problems, and do they share testimony about how the Lord helps them work through their divisions, so they can help others too? See what ingredients are in their bread (spiritually speaking). Are they open, honest, do they lie, hide
and pretend like they have it all together? Are they willing to share the battles of their relationship and how Jesus helps them, in an honest, open transparent spirit? Do you hear the TESTIMONY OF JESUS in how they work through their divisions, evil imaginations, accusations, and how The Lord has helped them fight for unity and love? BECAUSE........if they don't do it with each other......they won't CONTAIN a spirit to help the children of
God do it either! Is there bread full of artificial ingredients?"
One thing many of my friends and I have in common is, "we didn't grow up in Christian families, where we heard and witnessed how Jesus helped our parents work through the battles of life. How they dealt with the "little foxes" that spoiled the vine. Most of us saw people who lived a passionless, pretentious, divided life, where they hid from each other. "Hide not yourself from your own flesh", it says in Isaiah. I
decided early on, I was not going to hide from my husband......I was not going to hide anymore from the Lord. I wasn't going to be a with-holder
and settle for a passionless, dark, deceitful way of life. There are times I wondered if my husband would throw me in the gutter for being honest,
but I knew if I really loved him, how could I hold divisions in my heart against him? I went to him (not always, but I try to) in a spirit of honesty, sincerity, humility, and faith because I love him. When I question his integrity, I tell him, because I love him. Our children....and God's children have gotten to benefit from our divisions, and hear how we dealt with them. WE ENDED UP BE AN EXAMPLE FOR OTHERS WHO NEVER HAD PARENTS WHO WOULD BE REAL, HONEST, AND FEED THEM WITH UNDERSTANDING TO HOW JESUS HELPED THEM WITH THEIR PROBLEMS.
We FIGHT NOT TO LET THE BREAD (OUR RELATIONSHIP) get moldy. Beware of the leaven of the Pharisee's which is hypocrisy! We don't practice hypocrisy with each other. And because I'm willing, and He's taught me to walk in a spirit of LOVING THE LORD WITH ALL MY HEART, MIND AND STRENGTH, I can love others the way I have been loved. AND KEEP PRESSING ON TO BE BETTER EACH DAY! The love and passion in our lives is
ever increasing instead of decreasing like the couples in the world. Isn't that how we should live as the body Of Christ too? I pray that the spirit of love, faith, and truth? What Jesus has given my husband and I would is a precious gift we can impart to all our friends. So they will want to follow
our example..... That the world could see Jesus lives by the way they love each other!
Jesus prayed in John 17......that we would be sanctified by the truth of His Word. He SANCTIFIED himself unto the truth, that we might be sanctified
unto the truth.....He prayed for ALL THOSE WHO WOULD BELIEVE ON HIM, BECAUSE OF THE WORDS OF OTHERS! DON'T YOU REALIZE THAT YOUR HUSBAND COULD COME TO BELIEVE MORE IN JESUS BY THE WORDS YOU SPEAK TO HIM???? Jesus PRAYED THAT WE WOULD ALL BE ONE!! As He is in the Father and the Father IN Him, THAT WE WOULD BE ONE.......IN HIM! That the world would see and believe in Him by the love we have
one for another!
His prayer was that we would all be one in Him......and though we might be far from it, we all will be one in heaven, and we can do our best to fight for the unity of the faith on the earth! (Why not take on faith to deal with the dis-unity here on the earth.) It's all going to be seen and known for what it is one day anyway, don't you want to be on God's side when the dust settles? YOU ARE CALLED TO BE A PEACE MAKER, so TAKE ON FAITH,
to do God's will in ALL THE LIVES WHICH YOU TOUCH!! Don't be indifferent to the divisions in your heart towards your husband. Life isn't about you, it's about you making it your food to do God's will. I don't want Jesus to have to straighten out my problems for me when we see Him face to face, because I was a fainting, indifferent, give up, complaining girl. The scripture we had put on our wedding cake said......."We pray that the
world would SEE AND BELIEVE THAT JESUS LIVES BY THE WAY.......WE LOVE ONE ANOTHER!! YOU HAVE EVERYTHING TO DO WITH THE WORLD, AND ESPECIALLY YOUR CHILDREN SEEING AND BELIEVING THAT JESUS LIVES BECAUSE THE WAY YOU LOVE YOUR HUSBAND AND THEM!

THE REFINERS FIRE IS NOW MY HEARTS DESIRE
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pX0knHZorb0
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=larbuWBZ58k&feature=fvwrel
I have been reading in Is 58 for the last couple of days since you sent this, seeing more of my hypocrisy over the years. I've said I sought the Lord, but not being willing to be a doer, and not just a hearer, deceiving myself, and pretended for the sake of man's approval, yet my heart had departed from the Lord because I didn't get life my way. I didn't trust the Lord, who is the only one who forgives sin, and had forgiven my bloody sin of having an abortion. I didn't cry out to him to help me, I just got offended that my world crashed in. I've spent my life according to the spirit of humanism, and being "politically right", another phrase for walking in deceit! That is the way I lived my life, trying to be "nice", (my friends called it "being nicer than Jesus"). This has been my strength for my whole life, trying to do the right thing, say the right words, trying to enter in by my good works, (or so I thought) so I didn't have to be honest about myself, all so that I could be accepted by man.
When Jesus saved me, I was such a liar, I had made lies my refuge. I didn't tell the truth about myself to my husband, just hid, and tried to "do good works", & "be nice", but WITHOUT ANY SINCERITY! The truth is, I had been unfaithful to him, and ended up getting pregnant with another man's child, and just had an abortion, because I believed if I was honest, he would never marry me. We lived in fornication for 3 years before that, and I didn't want to risk losing what I thought might be my last chance for someone to commit to me. I already had a son out of wedlock, and given up another son for adoption because of my own "looking to man to meet my needs". Jer 17: 5 says "Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD." My hiddeness, deceit, and lying screwed me up so much, that in my heart and mind, I really thought my problems, and our lack of being able to "graft" into one another was his fault! He had his problems as we all do. After 5 years I started telling the truth -- just because I knew I wasn't moving on with the Lord if I didn't. But my heart was not at all pure in these things. I still wasn't telling the truth for HIS sake! Still only because of my own selfishness!
Jesus still was so merciful to me, and allowed us to join ourselves to a ministry body where the emphasis was "Speak the truth in love one to another, for we are members one of another", Eph 4: 25. So not seeing my own lack of love, and repenting for it, I just started "speaking the truth in my heart. (A lot of the time without regard for others), or praying first, taking the log from my own eye. My husband of 10 years decided he didn't want to walk with the Lord anymore, and we divorced, and he got custody of our three children. (I didn't see at the time what a hypocrite I was.) I was so devastated, that I reclused into my own world, not even telling God the truth about my pain, or trying to get understanding to my circumstances. This was the beginning of years of darkness for me. I continued walking in my religious ways without much sincerity toward God and the people in my life. I walked in the light of my own sparks, did not hear from the people of God in my life, and made sorrow my bed.
A few months after my divorce, I started dating a man who had been a pastor for 23 years before giving up "the ministry". His previous marriage had also fallen apart. We married, and I continued my habits of doing my own thing my own way, and just got offended with his hypocrisies, without looking at my own. I didn't heed Jesus' words about removing the beam from my own eyes so I could see clearly to help my new husband with the "speck" in his eye. (Mt 7: 3-5) I allowed myself to be offended, and it was very familiar to me to accuse him in my heart. Being so deceived that to accuse man is to accuse God. I really exalted myself in my own eyes, and looked down on him for his short-comings. Psalm 36: 1-3 says "The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes. For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful. The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, and to do good." Vs 4 says "he aborreth not evil." That is really my sin, I didn't fear God in the meditation of my HEART toward him. And of course, that heart position was carried out in my other relationships. I continued to accuse God's children in my heart for too many years. I "aborted" people who exposed my darkness instead of coming to the light! Thinking the walls of my pride were keeping me safe. I was the eye, saying to the hand and the rest of the body "I have no need of you."
I didn't really understand the principle of the mirror of Pr 27: 19 which says "As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man. Jesus has been trying to get my attention for years to look at myself when I'm shaken instead of pointing the finger at whichever vessel HE chose to use to shake me. Heb 12: 25-27 says "See that you refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall we not escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven: Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of those things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain."
In the midst of the BODY OF CHRIST I have been very religious (deceitful, and doing works of sacrifice instead of obedience) and tormented because of it! Holding grudges (Lev.19:15) Ps 119: 165 says "Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them." I have excused myself for living in offense for years, accusing others when Jesus sent people to help-- when He just wanted to set me free from it! And all the time calling myself a Christian! Jesus said that not the hearers only, but those who DO God's WILL will remain with Him. His covenant with us is that He will be an enemy to our enemies, and I have to be willing to put away the enemies that I have used to cover me. God forgive me -- that His enemies had become my friends in my lack of understanding! Ex 23: 23
My husband and I are still walking out these things in our relationship, he has been faithful to stick with me through the "operation of God" as he is opening my eyes to God's love, and faithfulness, and helping me to care about how I'm affecting others. Lying is a breech in the spirit, and without hearing and DOING God's will, the word says we will deceive ourselves (Ja 1: 22). I am realizing that I have to receive the one sent with God's word in order to truly receive God's Word in my life. I am having to esteem others that God sends to recover myself out of the snare of the devil. I can't look down on others and really think that I'm receiving Jesus. It's a lie that I have chosen to believe for too many years. I have let fear cast out love, and excused myself for not being a footwasher, and seeing the obligation of brotherly love an honor and blessing, rather than a curse.
I'm so thankful that God sent Jesus to live and die for me, so that I can be able to overcome these things, and truely be a witness in the earth for HIM in the earth, and not myself. Pr 25: 27 says "...for men to search their own glory is not glory."
18 Therefore I counsel you to purchase from Me gold refined and
tested by fire, that you may be [truly] wealthy, and white clothes to
clothe you and to keep the shame of your nudity from being seen, and
salve to put on your eyes, that you may see.

intimacy without commitment is fornication
Intimacy without commitment, is fornication. This is the state of many marriages, people not committed to each others soul, people not committed to anyone but themselves, wanting to be intimate with everyone, including God BUT NOT COMMITTED. Many people live together, have a paper from the state that says they are married, but they do not have a SPIRIT that comes from God OF marriage, nor are they COMMITTED to the SAVING AND KEEPING OF EACH OTHERS SOUL!!!
Debbie got converted, so did Carmie, so did I, Linda, others....... we saw the END OF FORNICATION..... Debbie is INTIMATE NOW with commitment. We have all been a woman who lived for pleasure who was dead, DEAD IN our CONSCIENCE TOWARDS JESUS (we shut up the kingdom of God in her conscience refusing to enter in, keeping anyone else from entering in). We were the path of destruction not only to our children, but all others who's lives we touched....... many of us ENTERED INTO A COVENANT DECEITFULLY..... not to serve God or His people but to GET FOR OURSELF. We pass from death unto life when WE LOVE. And loving yourself above all others, and living to get your needs met, living for pleasure are ALL THE PATH OF DEATH, spiritually!
Just like God gave Jezebel time to repent, he gave Debbie 6 years with Joe to repent, she didn't. She was a dead body Joe dragged refusing to judge herself, her motives, she refused to know Jesus in her conscience. She was a covenant breaker TOWARDS JESUS in her conscience. So she and Joe could not connect. THANK GOD, she woke up in her conscience towards God and has passed FROM THE DEATH of being a pleasure seeker, into life, caring about souls saved and souls kept.
Many women are seeing the GENERATIONAL CURSE of FORNICATION, BEING INTIMATE WITHOUT BEING COMMITTED. How many people want intimate details about peoples lives, but have never been committed TO the peoples lives they meddle in? Looking to be intimate emotionally without connecting in Spirit and Truth? Do you GIVE YOURSELF, and Jesus to others? Do you realize if you don't live for God, His Kingdom, His people, your children will not either? If you are one Committed to your pleasures..... God is giving you time to repent too.......
People are very thrilled when others are willing to know God in her conscience, and become COMMITTED TO STOP grieving, denying, AND RESISTING the Holy Ghost. WE ARE ARE LEADERS, we are THE LINK TO THE CURSE our family or THE BLESSING. Women who turn from sexual and emotional fornication HAVE THE JOY OF THEIR SALVATION......... AND are so thankful their sorrows have turned to joy and they have gained their souls through their suffering, and learned to BE COMMITTED to the people God sent them rather than living in a state of CONTINUAL FORNICATION, choosing the curse one day after the next.........
They fell in love with Jesus, that's what matters to Debbie, although she is FILLED WITH GODLY SORROW, for the hell and grief she dragged a man through being the woman who rode the beast........ jumping on spirits to fight her battle. ...
She has put her trust in the Lord. SHE HAS TRULY CHANGED HER MIND ABOUT BRUTING JESUS, AND living with people trying to be intimate WITHOUT BEING COMMITTED. She has REAL FAITH NOW, that her children can be snatched from the devils hand due to HER BEING THE DOOR to their lost soul through her FORNICATIONS.
She has become an INTIMATE friend of mine, and committed to the people God called her to walk with. She has known the guilt of being a terrible fornicator in her marriage, and she has been FORGIVEN and has the joy of her salvation. THE ONLY PEOPLE YOU CAN CONNECT WITH ARE THE ONES WILLING TO CONNECT TO JESUS, AND "KNOW HIM" in their conscience, cut a covenant with Him in their conscience, care about WALKING IN THE SPIRIT AND BECOMING THE SONS OF GOD. Flatters, pretenders, people who are insincere with God and man, do not connect to others.
What really matters, is that we WAKE UP to Jesus' voice in our conscience, that we help our CHILDREN WAKE UP..... so they will pick spouses who are AWAKE in their conscience towards God, and SEE GENERATIONS INHERIT THE BLESSINGS OF GOD.
Love, Ceci

AND are so thankful their sorrows have turned to joy and they have gained their souls through their suffering, and learned to BE COMMITTED to the people God sent them rather than living in a state of CONTINUAL FORNICATION, choosing the curse one day after the next.........
They fell in love with Jesus, that's what matters to Debbie, although she is FILLED WITH GODLY SORROW, for the hell and grief she dragged a man through being the woman who rode the beast........ jumping on spirits to fight her battle. ...
She has put her trust in the Lord. SHE HAS TRULY CHANGED HER MIND ABOUT BRUTING JESUS, AND living with people trying to be intimate WITHOUT BEING COMMITTED. She has REAL FAITH NOW, that her children can be snatched from the devils hand due to HER BEING THE DOOR to their lost soul through her FORNICATIONS.
She has become an INTIMATE friend of mine, and committed to the people God called her to walk with. She has known the guilt of being a terrible fornicator in her marriage, and she has been FORGIVEN and has the joy of her salvation. THE ONLY PEOPLE YOU CAN CONNECT WITH ARE THE ONES WILLING TO CONNECT TO JESUS, AND "KNOW HIM" in their conscience, cut a covenant with Him in their conscience, care about WALKING IN THE SPIRIT AND BECOMING THE SONS OF GOD. Flatters, pretenders, people who are insincere with God and man, do not connect to others.
What really matters, is that we WAKE UP to Jesus' voice in our conscience, that we help our CHILDREN WAKE UP..... so they will pick spouses who are AWAKE in their conscience towards God, and SEE GENERATIONS INHERIT THE BLESSINGS OF GOD.
Love, Ceci

PURGING OUR CONSCIENCE FROM DEAD WORKS
I thought about something Gene wrote called THE COVENANT OF CONSCIENCE, I can't find it, but I found this........
You can WAKE UP in YOUR CONSCIENCE, and enter into, and GO ON A FAST FROM junk FOOD Words and junk thoughts.
Like it says in Is. 58 you can stop THINKING YOUR OWN THOUGHTS, and STOP SPEAKING YOUR OWN WORDS.
You do not have to keep cursing your mouth by just speaking guile.......... Again, that is how some are, the devil tells them something
and rather than putting that away or off, THEY GIVE BIRTH to it through Their own mouth, ALWAYS VEXING Their CONSCIENCE, AND making
everyone in her life PAY FOR their VEXED SOUL... or trying to DO WORKS, their sacrifice rather than CHANGE their mind, REPENT.
No one is making you CURSE YOUR LIFE AND BEAT UP JESUS INSIDE YOU........... that's what you do when you beat your husband with your words
of hate, fear, no faith, unbelief....... you just think your thoughts with the devils help and speak what ever he wants you to WITH NO RESTRAINT, with NO THOUGHT OF COUNTING THE COST, for planting demonic weeds rather than GOD'S SEEDS. You really are CURSING YOUR LIFE, at your own hand by not taking your thoughts captive, and letting GUILE JUST KEEP POURING OUT OF YOUR MOUTH. Thinking evil, speaking evil to your own destruction. YOU WATCHED C, you should have gotten the message...... and you see how tormented B is........ REBELLING against putting an angel at the door of her mouth, she's always sinning..... "there is no help for me is God" ACCUSING HER BROTHER JESUS to all God's people AND EXCUSING HERSELF. It's pathetic, and I hope you learn from her, she's alone and miserable, and she has probably been doing this all her adult life. She has since I have known her, and probably was used to torment her husband right out the door after she suckered him into the wedding, closing her eyes to her motives, his motives, living in lies. She has never stopped HEARING FROM THE LIAR and speaking HIS WORDS...... she JUST WON'T STOP, so everyone around her HAS TO STOP HER. It's sad KAY, wake up, ARISE FROM YOU SLEEP AND CHRIST WILL GIVE YOU LIGHT. STOP VEXING YOURSELF, YOUR OWN SOUL, WITH YOUR OWN MOUTH, YES YOU CORRUPT THE HOLY SPIRIT INSIDE OF YOU MOST OF ALL......... stop BEATING UP JESUS CHRIST IN YOUR OWN CONSCIENCE!!!!!!! YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH LIFE HARD HEARTED BECAUSE YOU CONSTANTLY SHUT UP JESUS CHRIST AND HIS HOLY GHOST!!!!!! YOU DON'T REALIZE BY REGARDING LYING VANITIES HOW MUCH MERCY AND BLESSINGS YOU ARE RUNNING OUT OF YOUR LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Subject: Fw: PURGING OUR CONSCIENCE FROM DEAD WORKS

Subject: PURGING OUR CONSCIENCE FROM DEAD WORKS
We had a really good meeting on Sunday. It was about the Covenant of
Conscience. The question was asked, How is your conscience purged from dead
works, familiar spirits, carnality, and the works of the flesh?
Joe shared about how he had a life filled with dead works, doing his own
thing, his own way. I thought of the scripture in Ecc. that says, "I know
whatsoever The Lord does, it shall be forever, nothing can be added to it or
taken away from it." The problem is what we do, it doesn't last forever!
Whatever is not of faith is sin. Nathan talked about "the integrity of the
upright shall guide them." It is a guiding force we have to protect. No
integrity, or lack of integrity, (the little white lies, the little violation
of conscience) leads to no guidance.
THE MAIN MESSAGE WAS ABOUT HOLDING FAITH IN A GOOD CONSCIENCE! When our
conscience isn't good, pure.....it doesn't hold faith! (the right faith).
Gene talked to us about being "living epistles"....that are being read by all
men. He talked about the scripture in the Proverbs that says, "Those who
heed reproof and instruction are not only in the path of life BUT ARE THE
PATH OF LIFE FOR OTHERS. And those who refuse reproof and instruction, not
only go astray, but are the path of ruin for others. So where are you
taking others? How much rebellion do you excuse yourself for in your own
conscience?
So how is the blood of Jesus applied to our evil conscience? Seeing that the
mystery of faith is only held in a PURE CONSCIENCE? This means when we are
whining, complaining, and not seeing the operation of God in our lives, we
are being destroyed and not built up. We think if people, situations and
circumstances were different we would be happy.....so people....therefore God
must be our problem. WE GIVE OURSELVES PERMISSION TO BE UNTHANKFUL, UNHOLY!
We tell ourselves we don't have to give thanks in everything, and we loose
the peace of God which passes all understanding. We make supplication to the
whiner, the liar, the goats voice........when we should be giving thanks to
God, and making supplication unto Him. Gene talked about faith to go into
the fire in relationships last week with the women. WE DON'T AND WE GET
CONTROLLING BECAUSE WE EXPECT TO FIND SATAN THERE, INSTEAD OF GOD. We need
to be like Daniel and His friends.....and go into the fiery furnace in a
spirit of faith and prayer. The heat relationships bring, and expect to see
God come through for us! We end up refusing the cup God has given us to
drink when we refuse one another. We look down on one another when we fail
to reprove each other. We judge to condemn others when we fail to remove the
log from our own eye.
We have to guard our hearts with all diligence, and quit fretting, whining
and complaining. When Jesus comes back, will He find faith on the earth in
us? Did we hold on to faith in a good conscience with Our Lord, and people?
How much do we pass over the little things, like washing the dishes instead
of leaving them for others? Or checking out of meetings when we should check
in? How much do we grieve, deny and resist the Holy Ghost in all the little
things each day, hardening our hearts, vexing our spirits?
Judgment, and personal confrontation IS OUR ANSWER! Even if we are wronged
and can't take it patiently, instructing others with all long-suffering, WE
HAVE JUST FOUND THE REFINERS FIRE AND THE FULLERS SOAP! MEN OUGHT ALWAYS TO
PRAY AND NOT FAINT! So how much fainting, and how much fretting, and
whining, and seducing others to meet your needs because you don't walk in
faith and pray......AND KEEP THE FLOOD GATES OF HEAVEN FROM OPENING UP TO YOU
DUE TO YOUR UNBELIEF......are you walking in today! If you have to whine,
b....and complain to get your needs met.....IT'S WHAT YOU CAN DO.......AND
YOU KEEP BLESSING from YOURSELF.....YOU KEEP LOOSING GOD'S BLESSING AND
ANOINTING IN YOUR LIFE when others must bare the burden of your evil
conscience! You ask and have not, because you lust and don't admit it. You
lust after praise, things, possessions, you serve money not God, and your
conscience tries to talk to you, but you ignore it.
The measure of our judgment towards others is what we will be judged in. IF
WE FAIL TO TAKE THE EXCUSES OUT OF OUR HANDS......FOR WALKING AFTER THE
FLESH......WE WON'T BE ABLE TO HELP OTHERS WITH THEIR LAME EXCUSES! How much
do we "ACCUSE OTHERS AND EXCUSE OURSELVES" in our private little thought
world?
We talked about having "another life," building "another world" in our head!
Margie said the theme song for our private little world should be, "I DID IT
MY WAY!" I lived in my thoughts and imaginations and didn't open them up to
God or man.
We only have "one life to live," so why live in the vanity of our
minds....like the gentiles, having their understanding darkened be alienated
from the life of God......LIVING IN A STATE OF QUENCHING THE SPIRIT, because
we lie to ourselves about our evil conscience, TOWARDS GOD AND MAN? Philp.3
says to do all things without complaining, THAT WE MAY BE BLAMELESS AND
HARMLESS, CHILDREN WITHOUT FAULT IN A CROOKED GENERATION! And why are they
so crooked? They violate their conscience......AND SPEND ALL THEIR TIME
EXCUSING THEMSELVES FOR what they allow themselves to do....
Col.3 says, "Do not lie to one another." But we lie to ourselves in allowing
ourselves to do that which we shouldn't. We don't believe that others
contain the Holy Ghost some of the time too! We are like Annanias and
Sappihra. I bet they were shocked when Paul said after they had lied TO HIM,
"Why has Satan filled your hearts to lie against the Holy Ghost." Bet most
Christians don't really consider that when they lie to other Christians they
are letting Satan fill their hearts to lie to the Holy Ghost! We don't see
this for the "spiritual aids" it is that will do to us and more what the aids
virus is doing right now to millions! We have to back up, confess, repent.
When we say something we shouldn't, we have to stop lying and humble
ourselves. When we get up and walk out of a meeting, a room, a relationship,
and we are hardhearted.....knowing "I did it my way," but are too proud and
calloused to just say, I missed it, I'm sorry, forgive me.....help me
Lord.....our conscience won't be carved with His invisible hands.
HOW LONG WILL WE SPEAK OUR OWN WORDS....THINK OUR OWN THOUGHTS......DO OUR
OWN THING? God wants us to ride the HIGH PLACES. He's waiting to pour out
His blessings from heaven for those who HOLD FAITH IN A PURE CONSCIENCE.
Those who really confess and repent for their pretentious, half hearted love,
and look to Jesus to give them the unfeigned love for the brethren. God
pours out grace for those who speak when they should, those who say their
sorry when they said something wrong. For those who don't condemn themselves
in what they allow. For those who give when they know they should give. For
those who go to meetings when they know they should, and stay there and not
leave when they know they shouldn't. HOW MUCH CAN WE AFFORD TO VEX OUR
SPIRIT? How much blindness do we incur because we do ignore the dictates of
our conscience? We think we'll do it later, tomorrow, but we are the frog in
the pot not realizing the water underneath us is coming to a boil. How much
does our violation of conscience taint our view towards God and others?
Proverbs 1 says.....THOSE WHO LISTEN AND HEED THE STILL SMALL VOICE IN THEIR
LIVES......LIVE IN HOPE....NOT HOPELESSNESS! So what's really your problem
if your struggling with hopelessness! Stop lying to yourselves and blaming
others for YOUR REBELLION, your failure to respond to the COVENANT OF
CONSCIENCE in your own soul! This means being faithful in the small things.
Exercising when you know you should. Eating what's right. Going where you
go in faith, and staying in touch with caring about pleasing God and
fulfilling HIS WILL IN YOUR LIFE! If you don't do His will........WHAT KIND
OF EPISTLE ARE OTHERS READING? The pages of your conscience are recorded
every day! How much of your lame excuses will pass with Jesus, and "WHAT ARE
YOU LOOSING TO OTHERS, by refusing to TAKE CAPTIVE YOUR EXCUSES?
Only when our obedience is fulfilled......WHEN WE DEAL WITH THE LAME EXCUSES
FOR OUR OWN REBELLION, can we avenge all disobedience......help take the
excuses out of the hands of others....so they won't be stuck with a bunch of
lame excuses in their hands for why doing things their way were better than
doing things Gods way! THE VOICE OF PRIDE SAYS...."MY WAYS ARE GOD'S WAYS"!
That same voice of pride wouldn't dare to bring it's ways into the light to
see if it needs corrections though. GOD HEARS THE PRAYERS OF THOSE WHO HOLD
THE TRUTH, AND FAITH IN A GOOD CONSCIENCE! His eyes and ears are open and
waiting to act upon those who don't live in a contradiction against
themselves. HE STORES UP HOPE for those who are upright in their conscience.
For those who deal with their fretting, whining, complaining and unbelief.
Those who are willing to resist Satan, the father of rebellion and submit to
God.
We have to be honest when we are making provision for our flesh to fulfill
it's lust.....OUR COMPROMISE....IS OUR BLINDNESS! HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU SPEND
EVERY DAY BEING UNTHANKFUL, UNHOLY, AND LOOKING TO FORCE OTHERS TO MEET YOUR
NEEDS THROUGH ALL YOUR BAD ATTITUDES? Ahab whined and Jezebel came
running.....(she wasn't much help to him, and more than willing to play God).
So he whined over land. How much whining about money do you do, in your
unbelief, seducing others into playing God to meet your needs because you
don't pray always, and give thanks always in all things? Why don't you see if
God has a will for you on any given day, He'll make a way to fulfill it? Your
blind for a reason.
SO WHAT ARE YOU JUDGING YOURSELF IN.....so you won't be judged? And how
about that independent, me and Jesus....world of fantasy and
imagination....do you spend time in everyday? The world of MAKING YOURSELF
SPIRITUALLY, EMOTIONALLY, AND PHYSICALLY UNAVAILABLE TO DO GOD'S WILL AND GET
INVOLVED IN WHAT IS STRAIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR FACE! Your "Another
World"......and world of imagination.....IS REALLY THE THIEF COMING TO STEAL,
KILL AND DESTROY YOU....AND YOUR HOUSEHOLD! How much time do you spend
everyday in the vanity of your mind? How much in your daily activity....and
words and deeds, do you grieve, deny, resist and quench the Holy Ghost? What
do you have to be so proud about that you would shut out the blessings of
heaven in your life by "hiding yourself from your own flesh"? GOD'S OWN
FLESH? How many days go by when the angels in heaven have to sing......."he
did it his way.....she did it her way"?
If your asleep in your conscience today is the day you can wake from your
sleep, arise from your death, and CHRIST WILL GIVE YOU LIGHT! MEN, WOMEN
OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY, AND not FAINT. FAINT or PRAY! ......EVERYDAY YOU
CHOOSE.....EVERYDAY SPENT FAINTING, IS ANOTHER DAY SPENT STORING UP
HOPELESSNESS......choose life not death, the blessing not the curse. Put
away the pointing of the finger. Ride the high places, be a restorer of the
breech, a repairer of the path to walk in! LET JESUS FREE YOUR CONSCIENCE
FROM dead works.......YOU CAN'T CONTAIN FAITH WITHOUT A GOOD CONSCIENCE
TOWARDS GOD AND MAN......SO IF YOU HAVE A BAD ONE.....LOOK TO JESUS, WHO IS
ABLE TO KEEP YOU, WHEN YOU DON'T LIE TO HIM, and His people. If your only
interested in pleasing yourself.....your prayers are a stench in His
nostrils. What are your prayers smelling like these days? If you WANT TO
PLEASE HIM.......HE'S ONLY A PRAYER AWAY, ready to pour out His grace to the
humble!
You can WAKE UP in YOUR CONSCIENCE, and enter into, and GO ON A FAST FROM junk FOOD Words and junk thoughts.
Like it says in Is. 58 you can stop THINKING YOUR OWN THOUGHTS, and STOP SPEAKING YOUR OWN WORDS.
You do not have to keep cursing your mouth by just speaking guile.......... Again, that is how some are, the devil tells them something
and rather than putting that away or off, THEY GIVE BIRTH to it through Their own mouth, ALWAYS VEXING Their CONSCIENCE, AND making
everyone in her life PAY FOR their VEXED SOUL... or trying to DO WORKS, their sacrifice rather than CHANGE their mind, REPENT.
No one is making you CURSE YOUR LIFE AND BEAT UP JESUS INSIDE YOU........... that's what you do when you beat your husband with your words
of hate, fear, no faith, unbelief....... you just think your thoughts with the devils help and speak what ever he wants you to WITH NO RESTRAINT, with NO THOUGHT OF COUNTING THE COST, for planting demonic weeds rather than GOD'S SEEDS. You really are CURSING YOUR LIFE, at your own hand by not taking your thoughts captive, and letting GUILE JUST KEEP POURING OUT OF YOUR MOUTH. Thinking evil, speaking evil to your own destruction. YOU WATCHED C, you should have gotten the message...... and you see how tormented B is........ REBELLING against putting an angel at the door of her mouth, she's always sinning..... "there is no help for me is God" ACCUSING HER BROTHER JESUS to all God's people AND EXCUSING HERSELF. It's pathetic, and I hope you learn from her, she's alone and miserable, and she has probably been doing this all her adult life. She has since I have known her, and probably was used to torment her husband right out the door after she suckered him into the wedding, closing her eyes to her motives, his motives, living in lies. She has never stopped HEARING FROM THE LIAR and speaking HIS WORDS...... she JUST WON'T STOP, so everyone around her HAS TO STOP HER. It's sad KAY, wake up, ARISE FROM YOU SLEEP AND CHRIST WILL GIVE YOU LIGHT. STOP VEXING YOURSELF, YOUR OWN SOUL, WITH YOUR OWN MOUTH, YES YOU CORRUPT THE HOLY SPIRIT INSIDE OF YOU MOST OF ALL......... stop BEATING UP JESUS CHRIST IN YOUR OWN CONSCIENCE!!!!!!! YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH LIFE HARD HEARTED BECAUSE YOU CONSTANTLY SHUT UP JESUS CHRIST AND HIS HOLY GHOST!!!!!! YOU DON'T REALIZE BY REGARDING LYING VANITIES HOW MUCH MERCY AND BLESSINGS YOU ARE RUNNING OUT OF YOUR LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Subject: Fw: PURGING OUR CONSCIENCE FROM DEAD WORKS
Date: Thu, 3 Jul 2008 11:34:39 -0600
Subject: PURGING OUR CONSCIENCE FROM DEAD WORKS
We had a really good meeting on Sunday. It was about the Covenant of
Conscience. The question was asked, How is your conscience purged from dead
works, familiar spirits, carnality, and the works of the flesh?
Joe shared about how he had a life filled with dead works, doing his own
thing, his own way. I thought of the scripture in Ecc. that says, "I know
whatsoever The Lord does, it shall be forever, nothing can be added to it or
taken away from it." The problem is what we do, it doesn't last forever!
Whatever is not of faith is sin. Nathan talked about "the integrity of the
upright shall guide them." It is a guiding force we have to protect. No
integrity, or lack of integrity, (the little white lies, the little violation
of conscience) leads to no guidance.
THE MAIN MESSAGE WAS ABOUT HOLDING FAITH IN A GOOD CONSCIENCE! When our
conscience isn't good, pure.....it doesn't hold faith! (the right faith).
Gene talked to us about being "living epistles"....that are being read by all
men. He talked about the scripture in the Proverbs that says, "Those who
heed reproof and instruction are not only in the path of life BUT ARE THE
PATH OF LIFE FOR OTHERS. And those who refuse reproof and instruction, not
only go astray, but are the path of ruin for others. So where are you
taking others? How much rebellion do you excuse yourself for in your own
conscience?
So how is the blood of Jesus applied to our evil conscience? Seeing that the
mystery of faith is only held in a PURE CONSCIENCE? This means when we are
whining, complaining, and not seeing the operation of God in our lives, we
are being destroyed and not built up. We think if people, situations and
circumstances were different we would be happy.....so people....therefore God
must be our problem. WE GIVE OURSELVES PERMISSION TO BE UNTHANKFUL, UNHOLY!
We tell ourselves we don't have to give thanks in everything, and we loose
the peace of God which passes all understanding. We make supplication to the
whiner, the liar, the goats voice........when we should be giving thanks to
God, and making supplication unto Him. Gene talked about faith to go into
the fire in relationships last week with the women. WE DON'T AND WE GET
CONTROLLING BECAUSE WE EXPECT TO FIND SATAN THERE, INSTEAD OF GOD. We need
to be like Daniel and His friends.....and go into the fiery furnace in a
spirit of faith and prayer. The heat relationships bring, and expect to see
God come through for us! We end up refusing the cup God has given us to
drink when we refuse one another. We look down on one another when we fail
to reprove each other. We judge to condemn others when we fail to remove the
log from our own eye.
We have to guard our hearts with all diligence, and quit fretting, whining
and complaining. When Jesus comes back, will He find faith on the earth in
us? Did we hold on to faith in a good conscience with Our Lord, and people?
How much do we pass over the little things, like washing the dishes instead
of leaving them for others? Or checking out of meetings when we should check
in? How much do we grieve, deny and resist the Holy Ghost in all the little
things each day, hardening our hearts, vexing our spirits?
Judgment, and personal confrontation IS OUR ANSWER! Even if we are wronged
and can't take it patiently, instructing others with all long-suffering, WE
HAVE JUST FOUND THE REFINERS FIRE AND THE FULLERS SOAP! MEN OUGHT ALWAYS TO
PRAY AND NOT FAINT! So how much fainting, and how much fretting, and
whining, and seducing others to meet your needs because you don't walk in
faith and pray......AND KEEP THE FLOOD GATES OF HEAVEN FROM OPENING UP TO YOU
DUE TO YOUR UNBELIEF......are you walking in today! If you have to whine,
b....and complain to get your needs met.....IT'S WHAT YOU CAN DO.......AND
YOU KEEP BLESSING from YOURSELF.....YOU KEEP LOOSING GOD'S BLESSING AND
ANOINTING IN YOUR LIFE when others must bare the burden of your evil
conscience! You ask and have not, because you lust and don't admit it. You
lust after praise, things, possessions, you serve money not God, and your
conscience tries to talk to you, but you ignore it.
The measure of our judgment towards others is what we will be judged in. IF
WE FAIL TO TAKE THE EXCUSES OUT OF OUR HANDS......FOR WALKING AFTER THE
FLESH......WE WON'T BE ABLE TO HELP OTHERS WITH THEIR LAME EXCUSES! How much
do we "ACCUSE OTHERS AND EXCUSE OURSELVES" in our private little thought
world?
We talked about having "another life," building "another world" in our head!
Margie said the theme song for our private little world should be, "I DID IT
MY WAY!" I lived in my thoughts and imaginations and didn't open them up to
God or man.
We only have "one life to live," so why live in the vanity of our
minds....like the gentiles, having their understanding darkened be alienated
from the life of God......LIVING IN A STATE OF QUENCHING THE SPIRIT, because
we lie to ourselves about our evil conscience, TOWARDS GOD AND MAN? Philp.3
says to do all things without complaining, THAT WE MAY BE BLAMELESS AND
HARMLESS, CHILDREN WITHOUT FAULT IN A CROOKED GENERATION! And why are they
so crooked? They violate their conscience......AND SPEND ALL THEIR TIME
EXCUSING THEMSELVES FOR what they allow themselves to do....
Col.3 says, "Do not lie to one another." But we lie to ourselves in allowing
ourselves to do that which we shouldn't. We don't believe that others
contain the Holy Ghost some of the time too! We are like Annanias and
Sappihra. I bet they were shocked when Paul said after they had lied TO HIM,
"Why has Satan filled your hearts to lie against the Holy Ghost." Bet most
Christians don't really consider that when they lie to other Christians they
are letting Satan fill their hearts to lie to the Holy Ghost! We don't see
this for the "spiritual aids" it is that will do to us and more what the aids
virus is doing right now to millions! We have to back up, confess, repent.
When we say something we shouldn't, we have to stop lying and humble
ourselves. When we get up and walk out of a meeting, a room, a relationship,
and we are hardhearted.....knowing "I did it my way," but are too proud and
calloused to just say, I missed it, I'm sorry, forgive me.....help me
Lord.....our conscience won't be carved with His invisible hands.
HOW LONG WILL WE SPEAK OUR OWN WORDS....THINK OUR OWN THOUGHTS......DO OUR
OWN THING? God wants us to ride the HIGH PLACES. He's waiting to pour out
His blessings from heaven for those who HOLD FAITH IN A PURE CONSCIENCE.
Those who really confess and repent for their pretentious, half hearted love,
and look to Jesus to give them the unfeigned love for the brethren. God
pours out grace for those who speak when they should, those who say their
sorry when they said something wrong. For those who don't condemn themselves
in what they allow. For those who give when they know they should give. For
those who go to meetings when they know they should, and stay there and not
leave when they know they shouldn't. HOW MUCH CAN WE AFFORD TO VEX OUR
SPIRIT? How much blindness do we incur because we do ignore the dictates of
our conscience? We think we'll do it later, tomorrow, but we are the frog in
the pot not realizing the water underneath us is coming to a boil. How much
does our violation of conscience taint our view towards God and others?
Proverbs 1 says.....THOSE WHO LISTEN AND HEED THE STILL SMALL VOICE IN THEIR
LIVES......LIVE IN HOPE....NOT HOPELESSNESS! So what's really your problem
if your struggling with hopelessness! Stop lying to yourselves and blaming
others for YOUR REBELLION, your failure to respond to the COVENANT OF
CONSCIENCE in your own soul! This means being faithful in the small things.
Exercising when you know you should. Eating what's right. Going where you
go in faith, and staying in touch with caring about pleasing God and
fulfilling HIS WILL IN YOUR LIFE! If you don't do His will........WHAT KIND
OF EPISTLE ARE OTHERS READING? The pages of your conscience are recorded
every day! How much of your lame excuses will pass with Jesus, and "WHAT ARE
YOU LOOSING TO OTHERS, by refusing to TAKE CAPTIVE YOUR EXCUSES?
Only when our obedience is fulfilled......WHEN WE DEAL WITH THE LAME EXCUSES
FOR OUR OWN REBELLION, can we avenge all disobedience......help take the
excuses out of the hands of others....so they won't be stuck with a bunch of
lame excuses in their hands for why doing things their way were better than
doing things Gods way! THE VOICE OF PRIDE SAYS...."MY WAYS ARE GOD'S WAYS"!
That same voice of pride wouldn't dare to bring it's ways into the light to
see if it needs corrections though. GOD HEARS THE PRAYERS OF THOSE WHO HOLD
THE TRUTH, AND FAITH IN A GOOD CONSCIENCE! His eyes and ears are open and
waiting to act upon those who don't live in a contradiction against
themselves. HE STORES UP HOPE for those who are upright in their conscience.
For those who deal with their fretting, whining, complaining and unbelief.
Those who are willing to resist Satan, the father of rebellion and submit to
God.
We have to be honest when we are making provision for our flesh to fulfill
it's lust.....OUR COMPROMISE....IS OUR BLINDNESS! HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU SPEND
EVERY DAY BEING UNTHANKFUL, UNHOLY, AND LOOKING TO FORCE OTHERS TO MEET YOUR
NEEDS THROUGH ALL YOUR BAD ATTITUDES? Ahab whined and Jezebel came
running.....(she wasn't much help to him, and more than willing to play God).
So he whined over land. How much whining about money do you do, in your
unbelief, seducing others into playing God to meet your needs because you
don't pray always, and give thanks always in all things? Why don't you see if
God has a will for you on any given day, He'll make a way to fulfill it? Your
blind for a reason.
SO WHAT ARE YOU JUDGING YOURSELF IN.....so you won't be judged? And how
about that independent, me and Jesus....world of fantasy and
imagination....do you spend time in everyday? The world of MAKING YOURSELF
SPIRITUALLY, EMOTIONALLY, AND PHYSICALLY UNAVAILABLE TO DO GOD'S WILL AND GET
INVOLVED IN WHAT IS STRAIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR FACE! Your "Another
World"......and world of imagination.....IS REALLY THE THIEF COMING TO STEAL,
KILL AND DESTROY YOU....AND YOUR HOUSEHOLD! How much time do you spend
everyday in the vanity of your mind? How much in your daily activity....and
words and deeds, do you grieve, deny, resist and quench the Holy Ghost? What
do you have to be so proud about that you would shut out the blessings of
heaven in your life by "hiding yourself from your own flesh"? GOD'S OWN
FLESH? How many days go by when the angels in heaven have to sing......."he
did it his way.....she did it her way"?
If your asleep in your conscience today is the day you can wake from your
sleep, arise from your death, and CHRIST WILL GIVE YOU LIGHT! MEN, WOMEN
OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY, AND not FAINT. FAINT or PRAY! ......EVERYDAY YOU
CHOOSE.....EVERYDAY SPENT FAINTING, IS ANOTHER DAY SPENT STORING UP
HOPELESSNESS......choose life not death, the blessing not the curse. Put
away the pointing of the finger. Ride the high places, be a restorer of the
breech, a repairer of the path to walk in! LET JESUS FREE YOUR CONSCIENCE
FROM dead works.......YOU CAN'T CONTAIN FAITH WITHOUT A GOOD CONSCIENCE

I would highly recommended this book to you........ Your "diarrhea" of the mouth may cost you your marriage and the religion of Cain
that you grew up in that allows your conscience to slay your brother, is destroying your life. I sometimes wonder if this book saved
me from being LEPER the rest of my life due to rebelling against God and authority. I do not believe you really even care too much about the words of your mouth and the meditation of your heart, and you are about to reap much more than you realize if you do not wake up.......... You desperately need to learn the religion of Able, OBEDIENCE TO GOD, WAKING up to God's voice in your conscience. You trash your own soul with little thought by the spirit of your mouth. Gene told me he has told you over and over it's much easier to be nice than be a b.....

I'll even buy you the cd's if you will turn your conscience towards the Lord...........
in one woman's words........
This book deals specifically with the subjects of rebellion and submission. The study will help one understand the fall of Satan, Adam and Eve. I found the book to be very instrumental in rooting out rebellion against God and his delegated authorities in my own life. It has also served to strengthen my marriage a great deal. Reading it might help to save your marriage. I would recommend this book as required reading to any and all Christians as well as non Christians alike. It might be a cure for the problems that plague our society. In fact I was so blessed by the principles in this book that I have implemented its study as a course in my Church under foundations class level two.

Product Description
Authority is a tremendous thing in the universe, nothing overshadows it. God s throne is established on His authority. God s authority represents God Himself. God alone is authority in all things; all the authorities of the earth are instituted by God. It is therefore important for us who desire to serve God to know the authority of God. God s authority is absolute, hence we must give Him absolute submission (our hearts attitude) and absolute obedience (our outward actions). But to His delegated authorities we can render absolute submission, but only relative obedience. For their authorities are circumscribed by the measure of the life of Christ in them. Only when they themselves submit to God s authority in them are they able to represent God. Hence there is much we have to learn about how to represent God.

Watchman Nee draws upon biblical stories for this book of teachings about the authority of God over humans. He writes with conviction and without pretense. Michael Kramer gives a straightforward and low-key narration consistent with the message and style of the text. He is an authoritative and articulate guide through the material and avoids becoming pedantic. Kramer maintains a steady pace that is easy to follow and lends itself to thoughtful listening. This volume could form the basis for individual or group Bible study, although the material carries over from disc to disc, making it somewhat cumbersome for use in this way.

FRAUDS, who refuse to know Jesus in their conscience
Gene and I were listening to a D. Prince dvd on TRUE AND FALSE RELIGION. Derek goes off on the fact that there are only 2 religions. The "Cain" religion, and the "Able" religion.
Able, gave a blood sacrifice, it required the death of an animal laying down his life for sin. Cain gave his "own" sacrifice..........
God gave us Jesus, who laid down his life for our sin! God provided the Lamb. People under the spirit of Cain, give their own sacrifice and are MAD at God and the world (they live downcast) because their sacrifice is not acceptable. And they hate their brother.
Able (those following the leading of the Spirit, who are THANKFUL to God for HIS sacrifice, and are not looking to enter in through their own works, care about rebelling against the VOICE OF THE LORD in their own conscience. That's why God in His faithfulness has brought Gene into our lives to WAKE UP to God's voice IN OUR CONSCIENCE, and SAVE US, from being mad frauds, pushing away the knowledge of Jesus in our conscience, and furious that our own works are not saving us!!!!!! Pvb. 1-2 Aramaic.... "Those who listen to Him live in hope", "He stores up hope for the righteous" (those who care about knowing His voice in their conscience.)
http://www.derekprince.org/lib/pdfs/outlines/4305ol.pdf
God Help us to stop pushing away the knowledge of God in our conscience......... and being content to grieve, deny and resist the Holy Ghost........... that is how the devil is stealing our life and calling.
Frauds! Luke 11 THE MESSAGE
37-41When he finished that talk, a Pharisee asked him to dinner. He entered his house and sat right down at the table. The Pharisee was shocked and somewhat offended when he saw that Jesus didn't wash up before the meal. But the Master said to him, "I know you Pharisees burnish the surface of your cups and plates so they sparkle in the sun, but I also know your insides are maggoty with greed and secret evil. Stupid Pharisees! Didn't the One who made the outside also make the inside? Turn both your pockets and your hearts inside out and give generously to the poor; then your lives will be clean, not just your dishes and your hands.
42"I've had it with you! You're hopeless, you Pharisees! Frauds! You keep meticulous account books, tithing on every nickel and dime you get, but manage to find loopholes for getting around basic matters of justice and God's love. Careful bookkeeping is commendable, but the basics are required.
43-44"You're hopeless, you Pharisees! Frauds! You love sitting at the head table at church dinners, love preening yourselves in the radiance of public flattery. Frauds! You're just like unmarked graves: People walk over that nice, grassy surface, never suspecting the rot and corruption that is six feet under."
45One of the religion scholars spoke up: "Teacher, do you realize that in saying these things you're insulting us?"
46He said, "Yes, and I can be even more explicit. You're hopeless, you religion scholars! You load people down with rules and regulations, nearly breaking their backs, but never lift even a finger to help.
47-51"You're hopeless! You build tombs for the prophets your ancestors killed. The tombs you build are monuments to your murdering ancestors more than to the murdered prophets. That accounts for God's Wisdom saying, 'I will send them prophets and apostles, but they'll kill them and run them off.' What it means is that every drop of righteous blood ever spilled from the time earth began until now, from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was struck down between altar and sanctuary, is on your heads. Yes, it's on the bill of this generation and this generation will pay.
52"You're hopeless, you religion scholars! You took the key of knowledge, but instead of unlocking doors, you locked them. You won't go in yourself, and won't let anyone else in either." (into having a relationship with HIM that revolves around our conscience, where we REALLY CARE ABOUT KEEPING OUR CONSCIENCE FREE OF OFFENSE TOWARDS GOD AND MAN) Everything else is the religion of FRAUDS.........
Able, gave a blood sacrifice, it required the death of an animal laying down his life for sin. Cain gave his "own" sacrifice..........

You're just like unmarked graves: People walk over that nice, grassy surface, never suspecting the rot and corruption that is six feet under."
45One of the religion scholars spoke up: "Teacher, do you realize that in saying these things you're insulting us?"
46He said, "Yes, and I can be even more explicit. You're hopeless, you religion scholars! You load people down with rules and regulations, nearly breaking their backs, but never lift even a finger to help.
47-51"You're hopeless! You build tombs for the prophets your ancestors killed. The tombs you build are monuments to your murdering ancestors more than to the murdered prophets. That accounts for God's Wisdom saying, 'I will send them prophets and apostles, but they'll kill them and run them off.' What it means is that every drop of righteous blood ever spilled from the time earth began until now, from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was struck down between altar and sanctuary, is on your heads. Yes, it's on the bill of this generation and this generation will pay.
52"You're hopeless, you religion scholars! You took the key of knowledge, but instead of unlocking doors, you locked them. You won't go in yourself, and won't let anyone else in either." (into having a relationship with HIM that revolves around our conscience, where we REALLY CARE ABOUT KEEPING OUR CONSCIENCE FREE OF OFFENSE TOWARDS GOD AND MAN) Everything else is the religion of FRAUDS.........

Hannah and Ps. 19
Hannah was really quite the woman........... not only did the second wife of her husband Peninnah live to vex and torment her because she had children and Hannah didn't, Eli the prophet accused her of being drunk. Out of the depths of her soul she cried out to the Lord, (rather than accusing God and others and having the meditation of her heart be evil towards God and man).
We were talking about the miners who had tee shirts made of a scripture that says, "out of the depths, I cried unto the Lord." One of the men down there had entered into the KINGDOM OF GOD WITHIN HIM. He was not willing to VEX HIS SOUL by letting the meditation of his heart be evil before the Lord, and he cared if the words of his mouth were acceptable in God's sight. He ENTERED INTO THE KINGDOM OF CONSCIENCE, having a relationship with God in his CONSCIENCE, so he COULD HELP OTHERS ENTER IN.......... (entering into caring about the words of their mouth and the meditation of their heart being acceptable.)
IF WE REFUSE TO KNOW GOD IN OUR CONSCIENCE, we KEEP OTHERS OUT OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.
OH GOD, MAY YOUR CHILDREN COME FORTH, WHO CARE ABOUT HAVING A RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU IN THEIR CONSCIENCE, the ones who CARE IF THE MEDITATION OF THEIR HEART, and the WORDS OF THEIR MOUTH are acceptable in YOUR SIGHT. ONES THAT CAN HELP OTHERS ENTER INTO THE INVISIBLE KINGDOM OF GOD INSIDE THEM!!!!!!!!!
Then she said this.......... http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Samuel%202&version=AMP

SPIRITUAL CANNIBALS
Wow, I was remembering back to the very first meeting I went to in Hawaii at the Hooblers home. The Lord gave me a scripture I really felt came from Him for all the people that went to Hawaii.
"BUT IF YOU BITE AND DEVOUR ONE ANOTHER, TAKE HEED YOU ARE NOT CONSUMED ONE OF ANOTHER." Gal. 5 13Rather, use your freedom to serve one another in love; that's how freedom grows. For everything we know about God's Word is summed up in a single sentence: Love others as you love yourself. That's an act of true freedom. If you bite and ravage each other, watch out—in no time at all you will be annihilating each other, and where will your precious freedom be then?
So many people allow their conscience to "eat up God's people", to become naughty figs by being cannibals in the meditation of our heart and the words of our mouth towards others.
That's what happened in Hawaii, the word was not taken to heart, everyone bit and devoured each other, blame, pointing the finger, not caring if the words of the mouth and the meditation of their heart was acceptable. Not having a relationship with Jesus in our CONSCIENCE means NOT ENTERING IN TO KNOWING JESUS IN THE SECRET KINGDOM INSIDE OF US. The parents did not wake up to the voice of Jesus in their conscience, nor did they care about the words of their mouth and the mediation of their hearts, and most of the children that were over their were lost to the Kingdom of God because the parents did not enter in.
Psalm 53:4 (The Message)
4Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called upon God.
4 Don't they know anything,
all these impostors?
Don't they know
they can't get away with this,
Treating people like a fast-food meal
over which they're too busy to pray?
2 Corinthians 4 (Amplified Bible)
2 Corinthians 4
1THEREFORE, SINCE we do hold and engage in this ministry by the mercy of God [granting us favor, benefits, opportunities, and especially salvation], we do not get discouraged (spiritless and despondent with fear) or become faint with weariness and exhaustion. 2We have renounced disgraceful ways (secret thoughts, feelings, desires and underhandedness, the methods and arts that men hide through shame); we refuse to deal craftily (to practice trickery and cunning) or to adulterate or handle dishonestly the Word of God, but we state the truth openly (clearly and candidly). And so we commend ourselves in the sight and presence of God to every man's conscience.
Luke 17:20And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
WE NEED TO ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD IN OUR CONSCIENCE.... HAVING A RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD IN OUR CONSCIENCE, ENTERING INTO THAT DOOR........ SO WE CAN HELP OTHERS ENTER IN. Otherwise we will be the devils food, eating devils food cake (our brothers, sisters) biting, devouring one another, being consumed by each other........ GOD HELP US WAKE UP TO KNOWING YOU IN OUR CONSCIENCE......

ARE YOU OVERCOME BY YOUR LUSTS? OR LUST?
I think this is one of the most important letters I have ever written....... and I hope you keep it on file......
From: CECI SULLIVAN SULLIVAN (singlei@msn.com)
Sent: Thu 6/24/10 10:50 PM
To: CECI SULLIVAN SULLIVAN (singlei@msn.com)
Read Ps. 15 and 25, Who will abide with God, those who have CLEAN HANDS and A PURE HEART!!!!!!!
God gives us a The Spirit OF self control. But when we are SPIRITUALLY inactive, we will be overcome with LUST!!!! And cause others to pass through the fire!
SUCKING, TAKING LIFE FROM MEN, CHILDREN, WOMEN, living in Idolatry and LUST!! Being INACTIVE towards taking the log from our own eye....... we are given over to lust. We can not escape "the spirit of lust in the world" if we fail to keep our hands and heart clean towards others.
THE MORE we lay down our life for our brother, sister, the brighter and brighter the light gets The clearer and clearer our sin is. Our sin becomes more exceedingly sinful, and the light of the gospel shines brighter and brighter.
I just love walking with the girls.......... MY SIN FROM THE PAST BECOMES CLEARER ALL THE TIME, MY TESTIMONY BECOMES STRONGER, and I become a little WISER to the whiles of the devil Every TIME, I give myself to His children.
I was talking to Lynette about USING CHILDREN to COMFORT OUR VEXED SOUL. You know how my soul was vexed? Michael's soul was vexed? We were not taking the log from our own eye, and overcoming Satan in each other BY OUR TESTIMONY. OUR HANDS WERE FULL OF BLOOD, we were NOT CLEAN FROM THE BLOOD OF ALL MEN, from the blood of each other. UNTIL WE GIVE PEOPLE THE FULL COUNSEL OF GOD, and OUR TESTIMONY to help them overcome Satan, OUR HANDS HAVE BLOOD ON THEM. And we are PRIDEFUL LIARS THAT SAY IN OUR HEARTS, "I'm glad I am not like him, her." What sin has someone committed that WE CAN'T RELATE TO?
SO WHEN I WAS AT ODDS with Michael, (because we lived in idolatry and used each other to comfort our vexed souls)..... Yes most marriages are IDOLATROUS, not Godly where each couple has the TESTIMONY of JESUS for their sin, AND has Gods words fitted in their lips ABOUT the sins others commit..... they DO NOT LOVE FREELY WITH THE LOVE OF GOD, THE WAY GOD LOVES THEM. They don't give each other THE WORD of their testimony, they give each other THE LAW about what not to do, or what to do. BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO FELLOWSHIP WITH JESUS about HOW HE FEELS about their sin, due to seeing it in someone else.
SO MICHAEL and I USED our children to comfort our conscience, BUT WE WERE NOT FULFILLING GOD'S ROLE in each others lives, SO USURY, PITY, ANGER was the zit that always popped up. We used each other, and our children to comfort US, when we weren't angry with our idols for not giving us what we wanted. When you do not walk in the light, and you are not taking the log out of your eye, and you are not giving others you are offended with YOUR TESTIMONY, you will use children, the opposite sex, movies, shopping, food, booze........ WHATEVER TO AVOID THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE NOT LOOKED AT YOUR OWN SIN. You DO NOT HAVE THE WORD OF THE LORD FOR OTHERS, you are a prideful liar, that has no ministry towards taking the log from your own eye. LUST IS THE LOT OF EVERYONE WHO DOES NOT KEEP HIS HEART AND HANDS CLEAN OF OFFENSE TOWARDS GOD AND MAN.
I would get angry with my kids when I was FEARFUL he was not meeting my needs. And it wasn't until I told the Lord the truth about my fears and my unbelief that HE COULD START DELIVERING ME FROM THEM. And put HIS TRUTH in my HEART and LIPS. SINCERITY AND HONESTY AND HUMILITY ARE CRUCIAL for EVER doing what's right with others.
WHEN WE UNCOVER OUR SIN WE PROSPER, because others NEED TO HEAR WHAT GOD HAS TOLD others who have the testimony of Christ about their sin. Prideful liars can not help others, they just get mad and see everyone else with LOGS IN THEIR EYES. They dish out THE LAW that kills because they are too prideful to get understanding to their past sin.

Words of the Wise
17 Incline your ear, and hear the words of the wise,
and apply your heart to my knowledge,
18 for it will be pleasant if you keep them within you,
if all of them are ready on your lips.
19 That your trust may be in the LORD,
I have made them known to you today, even to you.
20 Have I not written for you thirty sayings
of counsel and knowledge,
21 to make you know what is right and true,
that you may give a true answer to those who sent you?
I was just going to write about ANGER, and how the root of anger is fear and unbelief, but when we won't look at the stone, (the fear or unbelief) WE NEVER GET A HEART OF FLESH for our anger stones. And we don't get delivered. "Those who deny things falsely (fear, unbelief) and don't go to God SINCERELY and camp out on HIS TRUTH about their problem, FEED ON THE WINDS..... they have communion (a common union) with DARK spirits, THEY TRAVEL THIRSTY AND GAIN NOTHING. People have lived this way for years, PART OF OVERCOMING SATAN, is by GETTING A TESTIMONY from others WHO HAVE UNDERSTANDING to the sin that has so easily beset them. (That's why you can't overcome Satan in others, NO TESTIMONY).
That's how the Pastor's and wives of the day are, they won't be REAL about their sins in the past, so they don't help others......... They just get angry and offended when life doesn't happen their way...

WAKING UP TO THE KINGDOM OF GOD IN MY CONSCIENCE
I was writing my testimony and wanted to send you a copy. I have been an extremely selfish friend and I don't want to be that way to you. I really do love you but I haven't been the best friend. I have lived my life caring about me and getting my needs met. I have treated people poorly when my need's where threatened. I just want to tell you I am sorry for hurting you and I would like to talk to you on the phone. I know you think that Tommy and I are in some kind of cult because we are not the same as we use to be, but thank God we are not. Jesus has really been doing a good work in my life to show me how mean, selfish, controlling, fearful...the list goes on. He is changing me to be a kind of woman who can love! The reason I am changing is because I want to live a life for Jesus and not myself! I pray that you will forgive me for hurting you and being a bad friend. I love you
Galatians 5:16-21 "I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God."
I thought I could do it all by myself. I did not understand the body principle. I always thought that being a Christian was so hard, too many rules to follow and obey. It never occurred to me that I NEED the Holy Spirit to fill me daily so that I can be pleasing in the sight of the Lord. I NEED the body to help me be the woman Christ has called me to be. Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 "Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor; For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him who is alone when he falls; for there is none to lift him up." I walked far too long alone and with out the help of family who really cared to lift me up and count the cost.
Hello my name is Ellie Thorn. I am the youngest of three girls. Brought up believing that you could just got to church and be saved and not have to walk it out (once saved always saved). My mom was never able to help me live a life pleasing to the Lord because she couldn't help me get in touch with my God conscience, because she wasn't in touch with her own conscience. She told us not to drink, smoke, fornicate but all along she was doing it. I was very confused growing up I was saying with my mouth I am a good little Christian girl, but all along smoking, drinking and fornicating. My identity was always in my flesh with what I could do best. I was sent to a private school in junior high because I was already smoking and drinking at the age of 12. She sent me to this private school in the hope that they could help me. I stopped smoking and drinking, but by the beginning of my sophomore year I was sleeping with my boyfriend. I felt bad in the beginning but after a while I hardened my heart and didn't care about listing to my conscience.
When I went to college I was ready to get away from everything around me, start a new life where no one knew who I was. I wanted to be able to do what I wanted with out anyone confronting me. Wanting to believe God didn't see me either. I could live in my own little secret world, excusing myself that God did not know what I was thinking nor care about what I was doing. So at college I partied hard and became more and deader to God. One night I had a dream that I was taken up into heaven and I was immediately kicked out. When I awoke from my dream I realized that if I died today I would not be going to heaven. That scared me for a couple of days but then I just hardened my heart again and went back to fornicating and going to church on Sundays. The Lord was trying to help me to wake up and not put any more men through the fire. There is a scripture that says "through the fear of the Lord, men depart from evil." Being afraid for living after the flesh, walking after the flesh, was God trying to wake up my conscience. It's a necessary fear to have. Little children do what they do when they are very small, because they are afraid, and that is the beginning of wisdom for them. They will not love us enough to not go out into the street and get hit by a car when they are two. But they will avoid the street if they are afraid of their mother’s displeasure, and in the beginning of their life that is how it all starts. I needed to be afraid deep inside that God's wrath would be stored up for me If I always denied His still small voice. I had no care or love for the men that I slept with, all I cared about was my needs. I had no care for their soul or that I was participating in the destruction of their soul. And I didn't fear God's displeasure for rebelling against His still small voice. Proverbs 30:20 "Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eats, and wipes her mouth, and says, I have done no evil".
When I met my husband we were both in the party scene. When we started dating I was always so fearful that Tommy would leave me I was tormented by fear and control and always jealous of everyone who wanted to spend time with him. Poor guy it was nothing short of the Lord that he stayed with me. I viewed him out of the glasses of selfishness, what I could get from him. I was a take mate, not a help mate. I remember talking to one of my friends about not moving in with her boyfriend, I was so insane I remember thinking that everything will be just fine as long as I don't move in with him, it's ok to sleep together just don't live together. She called me out on that and asked what the difference of living with your boyfriend all the time and just living with mine on the weekends? I was putting her under the law, but not even going into the law of God in my own conscience. I shut up fast; I realized that my testimony was bad. Putting a burden on her I was unwilling to fulfill myself. A true Pharisee. Not having any understanding to the Kingdom of God that is in each one of us. I didn't go into that Kingdom and I could not take anyone else there. Tommy and I kept sleeping with each other until we both moved to Montana. We always said that we wanted to stay pure til we got married but our lust always won because we found our hope and faith in each other not in the Lord and His will for us. We needed our flesh comforted because we were dead to God's voice in our conscience. Me moving in with my mom and him with my sister and brother-in-law we could have help with staying pure. Six months before we were married we came to a couples meeting Gene was having. We had attended other couples meetings but this one was so much different, it was real. We began learning about God's Kingdom which is invisible that lives on the inside of us, not an outside building with walls and rules. We talked about Jesus but it wasn't just a preach and then leave, everyone was involved in waking up to God's still small voice in their conscience. We were learning about God's Government, that the Jesus said should be preached, the one that wakes you up on the inside that makes you feel bad when you "walk after the flesh". People were talking about their marriages and the real things that were helping them or hindering them from having a good marriage. I was realizing for the first time that how I treated Tommy was how I was treating Jesus. Tommy and I were so excited that we found a body that was willing to be real and open about their personal struggles and where willing to get involved with us and help us with our mess! I was learning how to stop accusing him and excusing myself and turn to God for answers, rather than avoiding the problems or not understanding them. We felt the Lord's call to Jump for Jesus and decided from now on we would be open and honest with everyone around us. They helped us stay pure for our wedding day! What a great feeling after living a life of fornication that the Lord would honor us with our choice to stay pure for the last six months!
After we were married God REALLY began bringing me face to face with the enemies of my soul. My fear and control only got worse and God was exposing my unbelief and fears so He could deliver me as he promises to do in His word when we will face our fears and unbelief. My problem was I wanted everything my way and had no care how it affected him or the Lord. I was so fearful that I wouldn't get my needs met and I was having to face so many ways my trust was not in the Lord, but in ME, and playing God and being in control, (or thinking your are) is very scary. I would always try and control Tommy by letting him know that he needed to obey me and that if he didn't there would be hell to pay. I did not love him freely; I oppressed him into obedience through anger. I remember always thinking that when he didn't do what I wanted him to do or he wronged me in some way that I would make him pay so that he would NEVER do that again. My husband was going through hell and I was the Queen on my high horse beating him with my words. Vexing my God conscience, and not really caring. I had no bridal on my mouth, I took no thought captive it was all about me and if he rubbed me wrong out came the cursing and the bad attitudes with no thought of what spirit's I was loosing in our house. I was living without understanding to the whiles against me and my marriage and husband. In my thoughts I accused Tommy and excused myself, and didn't even realized that God cared if my motive was to help Tommy or just live feeling sorry for myself because I didn't even care about doing HIS WILL. I had a real problem with anger, and pity. Which is everyone’s lot in life who doesn’t really have passion to please God inwardly. So I tried outwardly to make everything look good, but I started realizing what God wanted me to do was care about who I was inwardly in my secret thoughts. About six months after we were married I became pregnant with our daughter! Because of my control and fear I cursed her life, Tommy would make me upset or mad I would say I don't want this baby. I got so grieved listening to the words that were coming out of my mouth I rebuked it and told the Lord I was sorry and told Him I DID want this child and prayed that my words would be forgiven and she would live and be healthy. Thank the Lord for His mercy and grace; I delivered a healthy baby girl! The proverbs say, "A man shall be satisfied by the words of his own mouth." I was realizing the death of my words, and the cause of my dissatisfaction had a lot to do with my thoughts, and what came out of my mouth. I needed to be renewed in the spirit of my mind.
After I had our daughter I found out that a girlfriend of mine was having a boy I was upset and I asked the Lord why I didn’t get a boy. The answer I soon found out was in my precious daughter. The Lord started talking to me about how I was raised. I needed a daughter to show me, me. She was sent by the Lord to help me see my anger and control. The lord knew that I needed her to be able to remove the log from my eye. I needed to see that I have a choice I can raise her the way I was raised (which I rebelled against) or I could raise her the Lords way, not just talking but walking in it. I knew that if I choose the Lord that I would have to start taking a look at my motives and intentions of why I do the things I do. I had a desire to wake up to God's voice in my conscience so I could see my daughter have a blessed life because she could respond to God's voice in her conscience. I could talk to her about a kingdom and a government that I was ignorant of, that was destroying me, and she didn't have to go down that road. I started realizing that the way I treat my husband is the way she will treat men, and God. If I wanted her to be respectful of God's authority, I could show her by example how she should be towards the Lord by how she watched me treat her father. If I expected her to honor us then I would have to be the example and honor Tommy. When she was a couple months old Tommy and I got into some conflict, I was really upset with him and wanted nothing to do with him and Ayanna wanted nothing to do with him either. I realized right then that my spirit affects her. It was an eye opener. I had control over her choice to receive or not receive her father, her earthly father and more importantly her heavenly father. I did not want to be a preach Jesus and the law mom, but be dead in my conscience towards God and man. I wanted to show her JESUS LIVES by how I loved her father. I needed to stop letting bad attitudes towards Tommy pass with me, or else I was going be creating one BIG attitude in my daughter. Proverbs 31 says, "The LAW of kindness was in her mouth." I realized even when I have problems I can be kind, and want the best for Tommy as I talk to him. And fight for God's cause in a good spirit and watch the Lord come through for us and help us with our battles. I did not have to use carnal weapons, I could use love and faith and kindness on my husband, and those weapons make a man, PRAISE HIS WIFE. A woman who fears the Lord, who is awake in her consistence towards God and man, shall be praised. Those are the WORKS that God will reward us for.
A little while ago I watched a documentary on Oral Roberts and he was saying that he believed in Jesus as a child because of his mother’s faith. Mother Theresa's mother used to have beggars come to the door for food. Her mother would say, here honey, go give Jesus a sandwich. I want Ayanna to be able to know with out a doubt in her mind that Jesus lives because of the way I love my husband and Gods children. When we love people who we do see, we ARE LOVING GOD who we don't see. My number one goal in life is to please Jesus above all else. The Lord's will for my life is to be a Godly wife, mother, sister and friend Eph.2:10 "For we are his creation, created through Jesus Christ ultimately for good works, and God has before ordained that we should live in them". God sent me my ordained work, a husband, daughter, family, friends and Jump for Jesus! I know that I need to be continually filled with the Holy Spirit each and every day to be able to be the right mother and wife my family deserves. I chose to take off the wrong spirit of control and fear and put on the right spirit, the Holy Spirit. Galatians 5:22-23 "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control."
I can believe that I can be set free from pretentious, flattery and false unity, and God has been helping me fight for TRUE UNITY, not the fake unity I had lived in most of my life, but unity where you can get understanding to all the things that divide you from God and man. And that my daughter won't have to live in lies and pretense and divisions! But she can learn to love in Spirit and Truth like we are!
Psalm 133 (Contemporary English Version)
Living Together in Peace
1It is truly wonderful when relatives live together
in peace.
2It is as beautiful as olive oil
poured on Aaron's head [a] and running down his beard
and the collar of his robe.
3It is like the dew
from Mount Hermon,
falling on Zion's mountains,
where the LORD has promised
to bless his people
with life everlasting forevermore.

Galatians 5:16-21 "I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God."
I thought I could do it all by myself. I did not understand the body principle. I always thought that being a Christian was so hard, too many rules to follow and obey. It never occurred to me that I NEED the Holy Spirit to fill me daily so that I can be pleasing in the sight of the Lord. I NEED the body to help me be the woman Christ has called me to be. Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 "Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor; For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him who is alone when he falls; for there is none to lift him up." I walked far too long alone and with out the help of family who really cared to lift me up and count the cost.
Hello my name is Ellie Thorn. I am the youngest of three girls. Brought up believing that you could just got to church and be saved and not have to walk it out (once saved always saved). My mom was never able to help me live a life pleasing to the Lord because she couldn't help me get in touch with my God conscience, because she wasn't in touch with her own conscience. She told us not to drink, smoke, fornicate but all along she was doing it. I was very confused growing up I was saying with my mouth I am a good little Christian girl, but all along smoking, drinking and fornicating. My identity was always in my flesh with what I could do best. I was sent to a private school in junior high because I was already smoking and drinking at the age of 12. She sent me to this private school in the hope that they could help me. I stopped smoking and drinking, but by the beginning of my sophomore year I was sleeping with my boyfriend. I felt bad in the beginning but after a while I hardened my heart and didn't care about listing to my conscience.
When I went to college I was ready to get away from everything around me, start a new life where no one knew who I was. I wanted to be able to do what I wanted with out anyone confronting me. Wanting to believe God didn't see me either. I could live in my own little secret world, excusing myself that God did not know what I was thinking nor care about what I was doing. So at college I partied hard and became more and deader to God. One night I had a dream that I was taken up into heaven and I was immediately kicked out. When I awoke from my dream I realized that if I died today I would not be going to heaven. That scared me for a couple of days but then I just hardened my heart again and went back to fornicating and going to church on Sundays. The Lord was trying to help me to wake up and not put any more men through the fire. There is a scripture that says "through the fear of the Lord, men depart from evil." Being afraid for living after the flesh, walking after the flesh, was God trying to wake up my conscience. It's a necessary fear to have. Little children do what they do when they are very small, because they are afraid, and that is the beginning of wisdom for them. They will not love us enough to not go out into the street and get hit by a car when they are two. But they will avoid the street if they are afraid of their mother’s displeasure, and in the beginning of their life that is how it all starts. I needed to be afraid deep inside that God's wrath would be stored up for me If I always denied His still small voice. I had no care or love for the men that I slept with, all I cared about was my needs. I had no care for their soul or that I was participating in the destruction of their soul. And I didn't fear God's displeasure for rebelling against His still small voice. Proverbs 30:20 "Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eats, and wipes her mouth, and says, I have done no evil".
When I met my husband we were both in the party scene. When we started dating I was always so fearful that Tommy would leave me I was tormented by fear and control and always jealous of everyone who wanted to spend time with him. Poor guy it was nothing short of the Lord that he stayed with me. I viewed him out of the glasses of selfishness, what I could get from him. I was a take mate, not a help mate. I remember talking to one of my friends about not moving in with her boyfriend, I was so insane I remember thinking that everything will be just fine as long as I don't move in with him, it's ok to sleep together just don't live together. She called me out on that and asked what the difference of living with your boyfriend all the time and just living with mine on the weekends? I was putting her under the law, but not even going into the law of God in my own conscience. I shut up fast; I realized that my testimony was bad. Putting a burden on her I was unwilling to fulfill myself. A true Pharisee. Not having any understanding to the Kingdom of God that is in each one of us. I didn't go into that Kingdom and I could not take anyone else there. Tommy and I kept sleeping with each other until we both moved to Montana. We always said that we wanted to stay pure til we got married but our lust always won because we found our hope and faith in each other not in the Lord and His will for us. We needed our flesh comforted because we were dead to God's voice in our conscience. Me moving in with my mom and him with my sister and brother-in-law we could have help with staying pure. Six months before we were married we came to a couples meeting Gene was having. We had attended other couples meetings but this one was so much different, it was real. We began learning about God's Kingdom which is invisible that lives on the inside of us, not an outside building with walls and rules. We talked about Jesus but it wasn't just a preach and then leave, everyone was involved in waking up to God's still small voice in their conscience. We were learning about God's Government, that the Jesus said should be preached, the one that wakes you up on the inside that makes you feel bad when you "walk after the flesh". People were talking about their marriages and the real things that were helping them or hindering them from having a good marriage. I was realizing for the first time that how I treated Tommy was how I was treating Jesus. Tommy and I were so excited that we found a body that was willing to be real and open about their personal struggles and where willing to get involved with us and help us with our mess! I was learning how to stop accusing him and excusing myself and turn to God for answers, rather than avoiding the problems or not understanding them. We felt the Lord's call to Jump for Jesus and decided from now on we would be open and honest with everyone around us. They helped us stay pure for our wedding day! What a great feeling after living a life of fornication that the Lord would honor us with our choice to stay pure for the last six months!
After we were married God REALLY began bringing me face to face with the enemies of my soul. My fear and control only got worse and God was exposing my unbelief and fears so He could deliver me as he promises to do in His word when we will face our fears and unbelief. My problem was I wanted everything my way and had no care how it affected him or the Lord. I was so fearful that I wouldn't get my needs met and I was having to face so many ways my trust was not in the Lord, but in ME, and playing God and being in control, (or thinking your are) is very scary. I would always try and control Tommy by letting him know that he needed to obey me and that if he didn't there would be hell to pay. I did not love him freely; I oppressed him into obedience through anger. I remember always thinking that when he didn't do what I wanted him to do or he wronged me in some way that I would make him pay so that he would NEVER do that again. My husband was going through hell and I was the Queen on my high horse beating him with my words. Vexing my God conscience, and not really caring. I had no bridal on my mouth, I took no thought captive it was all about me and if he rubbed me wrong out came the cursing and the bad attitudes with no thought of what spirit's I was loosing in our house.
