Hiking & Camping

Hiking and camping is a good way to get out into God's creation and experience it without all the modern comforts. Many of us, myself included, are comforted by modern life and we need to experience life without convenience. When we read the bible, we see lives without so much ease. Jesus, when he was ministering on the earth in Israel, often prayed through the night in the outdoors.

In these days, he went out to the mountain to pray, and he continued all night in prayer to God. - Luke 6:12

Paul experienced a lot of trials and often lacked comfort for the flesh.

Are they servants of Christ? (I speak as one beside himself) I am more so; in labors more abundantly, in prisons more abundantly, in stripes above measure, in deaths often. Five times from the Jews I received forty stripes minus one. Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times I suffered shipwreck. I have been a night and a day in the deep. I have been in travels often, perils of rivers, perils of robbers, perils from my countrymen, perils from the Gentiles, perils in the city, perils in the wilderness, perils in the sea, perils among false brothers; in labor and travail, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, and in cold and nakedness. - 2Corinthians 11:23-27

Teaching And Prayer For Woman To Find Husband

I've been a Spirit filled, born again Christian for over 26 years, but the last 9 years have been the most fulfilling because I've committed myself to serving the Lord and people in the way the Spirit of God has led me to serve. It's important that we serve in our calling and remain consistent in it.

In today's video, I reference Genesis 24 which shows us how Rebekah was quick to refresh a stranger in need. She was handsomely rewarded for her willingness to serve. The bible gives us a proverb that shows this truth.

The generous man will be prosperous and he who waters will himself be watered. - Proverbs 11:25

Since the scriptures are living, they have divine power to change a person's life and bring about a desired result. With this in mind, a woman seeking a God fearing husband should focus on what the bible describes as a valuable wife. Again, the book of Proverbs has good things to teach on this subject. All single, God fearing women who are looking for a husband should meditate daily on these verses:

An excellent wife, who can find?
For her worth is far above jewels.
The heart of her husband trusts in her,
And he will have no lack of gain.
She does him good and not evil
All the days of her life.
She looks for wool and flax
And works with her hands in delight.
She is like merchant ships;
She brings her food from afar.
She rises also while it is still night
And gives food to her household
And portions to her maidens.
She considers a field and buys it;
From her earnings she plants a vineyard.
She girds herself with strength
And makes her arms strong.
She senses that her gain is good;
Her lamp does not go out at night.
She stretches out her hands to the distaff,
And her hands grasp the spindle.
She extends her hand to the poor,
And she stretches out her hands to the needy.
She is not afraid of the snow for her household,
For all her household are clothed with scarlet.
She makes coverings for herself;
Her clothing is fine linen and purple.
Her husband is known in the gates,
When he sits among the elders of the land.
She makes linen garments and sells them,
And supplies belts to the tradesmen.
Strength and dignity are her clothing,
And she smiles at the future.
She opens her mouth in wisdom,
And the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.
She looks well to the ways of her household,
And does not eat the bread of idleness.
Her children rise up and bless her;
Her husband also, and he praises her, saying:
“Many daughters have done nobly,
But you excel them all.”
Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain,
But a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised.
Give her the product of her hands,
And let her works praise her in the gates. - Proverbs 31:10-31

Lastly, don't ever give up. God is able to bring about the desires of your heart, so you need to endure.

We count those blessed who endured. You have heard of the endurance of Job and have seen the outcome of the Lord’s dealings, that the Lord is full of compassion and is merciful. - James 5:11

Ability To Hear Higher Frequencies

The young man in today's video needed to pass a hearing test in order to be admitted to a particular service. He was encouraged to know there's a way to test ability to hear high frequencies and even more encouraged to know that the Lord heals this as well. Below is a link to a page about hearing high frequencies. On the page, there's also a test you can perform on yourself in order to know what frequencies you can hear. I was able to hear the 10,000 Hz, but not the 12,000 Hz.

Akashic Records Reincarnation Portals

Just because a person is able to access spiritual realms and obtain information, it doesn't mean this activity is acceptable to God. The scriptures tell us about a man who accessed God directly through divination and he got correct information. This man is named, "Balaam" and you can read about his activity in Numbers 22-24. As you read these 3 chapters, you might get the impression that there's nothing wrong with Balaam's methods, especially since he obeyed the Lord and said what the Lord told him to say. Balaam basically blessed Israel, but later on in Numbers 31:16, we're told that Balaam was responsible for leading Israel into sexual sin. Because of this, Israel put him to death.

In today's video I mentioned a past video I made called, "The difference between soul and spirit". Here's the link to that video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qL8HCZFBXSA

More on Jacket Demon + Vegetable Smoothie

There are many methods the devil uses to deceive us, but they all boil down to one tactic and that is, believing the lie. We get what we believe in this life, so believe the word and reject all of Satan's lies.

While he still spoke, one from the ruler of the synagogue’s house came, saying to him, “Your daughter is dead. Don’t trouble the Teacher.” But Jesus hearing it, answered him, “Don’t be afraid. Only believe, and she will be healed.” - Luke 8:49-50

The devil that the young man was dealing with in yesterday's video, was depression. This demon can really get believers down because it's vey wrong for believers to agree with this wicked demon. Believers are suppose to be extremely excited about their communion with Jesus Christ. We should be filled with joy at all times, just like Paul writes to the Philippians.

Rejoice in the Lord always! Again I will say, “Rejoice!” - Philippians 4:4

The vegetable smoothie I make in today's video has helped me to feel better than anything I consume. Here are the ingredients:
Approximately:
4 oz Spinach
2-3 Carrots, depending on their size
1/4 large Apple
1/2 small to medium Banana
1-2 oz Red Cabbage
3 small Oranges
Small scoop Wheatgrass
16-20 oz Water

Test your servants, I beg you, ten days; and let them give us vegetables to eat, and water to drink. Then let our faces be looked on before you, and the face of the youths who eat of the king’s dainties; and as you see, deal with your servants. So he listened to them in this matter, and proved them ten days. At the end of ten days their faces appeared fairer, and they were fatter in flesh, than all the youths who ate of the king’s dainties. - Daniel 1:12-15

The Demon Takes A Jacket Off

I've experienced many different manifestations when putting people through deliverance. Some of the common manifestations that I will feel are clamminess or nausea. I don't always feel a manifestation in my flesh when someone is being delivered from a demon. The person going through deliverance will feel these as well and could also feel a battle in the gut or extreme lightheadedness.

In today's video I explain a new manifestation I experienced when putting someone through deliverance. When it was happening, I found it a bit difficult to verbalize what I sensed, but as I thought about it, the understanding started to become clear. I sensed as if the demon in this young man took a jacket off before leaving. I realized that the young man was the jacket.

The bible tells us to cloth ourselves with Christ. When we entertain thoughts that are from the enemy, we begin to invite demons. Demons are anxious to mimic spiritual truth and corrupt it. It's a creepy thought to think that a demon is wearing us like a jacket.

Do this, knowing the time, that it is already the hour for you to awaken from sleep; for now salvation is nearer to us than when we believed. The night is almost gone, and the day is near. Therefore let us lay aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. Let us behave properly as in the day, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and sensuality, not in strife and jealousy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh in regard to its lusts. - Romans 13:11-14

New Age Thinking

There's a growing number of people becoming interested in the New Age. I've noticed in my studies that new age thinking is impersonal in the sense that those who follow after this line of thought tend to move away from a personal, intimate relationship with Jesus Christ. Evidence of this is found in the language used. The words, "Christ Consciousness" are used in place of a real relationship with Jesus Christ. The word, "Source" replaces, "Father" when referring to the creator.

God would not have called himself Father if he wasn't interested in a close, personal relationship with the children he has created. With enough investigation you will also discover how new age thought will share every possible religious idea out there, except that of a personal relationship with the Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.

Severe Back Pain Leaves After Back Pops

If you're ministering to someone who has back pain and their back pops, it's always a good sign. This is similar to the supernatural chiropractic adjustment because when a chiropractor is adjusting someone, the back will often pop many times, releasing tension. Tension, stress and anxiety can build up in the back because of money worries. The Lord doesn't force anyone to trust him, so we need to renew our minds in God's word in order to continue believing that the Lord is our source for everything we need.

“For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they? 

And who of you by being worried can add a single hour to his life? And why are you worried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin, yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? 

You of little faith! Do not worry then, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear for clothing?’ For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. “So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. - Matthew 6:25-34

Penance vs Repentance

The title may appear combative, but that's not my intention. "vs" is just a way of comparing two viewpoints. One reason, not mentioned in today's video, as to why penance is believed by Roman Catholics is because of the belief that the grace of Christ is imputed to an infant at baptism. Hence, the Roman Catholic believes that grace has already been given to the individual many years ago and so the penance is made because they have the grace of God through that baptism. In other words, I know the grace of Jesus is with me, so I show my repentance through this penance.

Protestants are not proponents of infant baptism because they believe a person has to have a clear understanding as to why they are being baptized and no infant is aware of this. Hence, once they experience the grace of Christ, they are led to repentance and that repentance leads to good works, which can appear as synonymous to penance.

Instant Results For Simon At Cardboard Box Church

Over the years I've ministered healing to many people and then had the healed person immediately minister to someone else. Matthew 10 shows us what we're suppose to be doing after we have experienced the Lord's grace through healing.

As you go, preach, saying, ‘The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!’ Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers and cast out demons. Freely you received, so freely give. - Matthew 10:7-8

Some believers don't think this is for today or even for every believer. The Great commission found in Matthew 28 tells us otherwise.

Jesus came to them and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth. Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I commanded you. Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen. - Matthew 28:18-20

Take note in theses verses that Jesus is telling his Apostles to teach disciples (YOU AND I) to obey everything he commanded them. Jesus commanded the Apostles to heal the sick, cast out demons, cleanse the lepers and raise the dead. Also, take note that Jesus said he would be with us even to the end of the age.

Two Cysts Disappear

In today's video, a young woman is healed from two cysts on her back that were there for a year. In the situation I mentioned how a person can have issues in their back because of money worries. I made that comment because I've been in enough situations where I'm ministering to a person's back and also recognize money worries in the person's posture or thinking. The article below mentions some causes of cysts, but money worries aren't one of the causes mentioned. However, all the causes mentioned in the article are related to the physical functioning of the body and not the mental state of the person. One cause mentioned is poor drainage. That is what I would relate to worry. Not letting go of worry is synonymous to poor drainage of body fluids.

Ministering with a Rocket Scientist

It's amazing how the Lord will get the attention of people from all areas of expertise. The brother in today's video is literally a rocket scientist. Of course, I had to make a joke by saying, "Supernatural healing is not rocket science." Jim was taught how to minister in the power of God by a good friend of mine named, Doug Collins. Doug and his wife Donna and their children live in Ontario, Canada. Doug has a Youtube Channel named, WINDSOR ON FIRE. Below is a popular video of Jim, the rocket scientist ministering with Doug Collins.

Post Workout Protein Shake

Through the years I've had an interest in working out with weights. When we do resistance exercises with weights, we break down muscle tissue and that tissue needs to repair and rebuild. Protein is a very important molecule for the repair and building of muscle tissue. Below is a link to a good article on this subject.

Supernatural icepack lasting a week

Having a sports background throughout my life, I applied plenty of icepacks on sore, swollen or inflamed injuries. This had always been my first "go to" solution for healing before I started ministering the supernatural healing of the Spirit of God. As a minister, I decided there must be a counterpart in the spiritual for any kind of healing technique used in the natural. Hence, the supernatural icepack. Below is a link to an article to talks about icepacks.

Shocked by a wicked demon!

It's not surprising that demons use electrical energy to hurt people. It's interesting how they can do this without any of us actually touching a live electrical wire. That tells me how the natural realm uses that which already exists in the spirit realm. After all, this natural realm reflects the spirit realm, like that old saying, "As above, so below". In today's video, I mentioned a previously released video about a demonic attack that was electrical in nature. Below is a link to that video.

Why did I see Constantine in a dream?

Dreams are very significant. The Lord will give us dreams to direct our paths. It's amazing how patient God is because my dream of Constantine was several years ago, but this is the first time I'm mentioning it in my ministry. The following links are about Constantine and the Edict of Milan in 313. Watch today's video on my Youtube channel to hear about my dream of Constantine the Roman Emperor.

Purgatory Part 2

It's more than likely that the Roman Catholics see the former compartment of the righteous dead, being Sheol, as Purgatory. This is bad exegesis. In the following portion of text from 2 Macabees, we see the righteous Jews praying for the dead so that a grievous sin would be forgiven. This was done because they lived under the Law of Moses before the redemptive work of Christ on the cross. It was customary to pray for the dead who were in Sheol. Following is a link to 2 Macabees and the portion of the text that describes the situation.

http://www.sacred-texts.com/bib/apo/ma2.htm


Now when they that were with Gorgias had fought long, and were weary, Judas called upon the Lord, that he would shew himself to be their helper and leader of the battle.

And with that he began in his own language, and sung psalms with a loud voice, and rushing unawares upon Gorgias' men, he put them to flight.

So Judas gathered his host, and came into the city of Odollam, And when the seventh day came, they purified themselves, as the custom was, and kept the sabbath in the same place.

And upon the day following, as the use had been, Judas and his company came to take up the bodies of them that were slain, and to bury them with their kinsmen in their fathers' graves.

Now under the coats of every one that was slain they found things consecrated to the idols of the Jamnites, which is forbidden the Jews by the law. Then every man saw that this was the cause wherefore they were slain.

All men therefore praising the Lord, the righteous Judge, who had opened the things that were hid,

Betook themselves unto prayer, and besought him that the sin committed might wholly be put out of remembrance. Besides, that noble Judas exhorted the people to keep themselves from sin, forsomuch as they saw before their eyes the things that came to pass for the sins of those that were slain.

And when he had made a gathering throughout the company to the sum of two thousand drachms of silver, he sent it to Jerusalem to offer a sin offering, doing therein very well and honestly, in that he was mindful of the resurrection:

For if he had not hoped that they that were slain should have risen again, it had been superfluous and vain to pray for the dead.

And also in that he perceived that there was great favour laid up for those that died godly, it was an holy and good thought. Whereupon he made a reconciliation for the dead, that they might be delivered from sin. - 2 Macabees 12:36-45

Purgatory Part 1

Purgatory is a Roman Catholic doctrine that has been challenged by Protestants. Roman Catholics use scripture to sight this doctrine, but Protestants believe Roman Catholics are merely reading into the text something that isn't there. This is why perspective matters. You can make scripture say just about anything you want it to say and fool people who haven't diligently studied the scripture. The story of the unmerciful servant in Matthew 18 is one such case. Roman Catholics call the prison cell in this story, "The debtor's prison". The unmerciful servant from the Matthew 18 story was thrown into this prison cell until he should pay off the debt in it's entirety. Roman Catholics see this as a chance to finally exit this prison and be free. One big problem with this analysis is that the symbolism is meant to show us that the debt won't get paid because we're not good enough in our own righteousness to make this payment.

“For this reason the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who wished to settle accounts with his slaves. When he had begun to settle them, one who owed him ten thousand talents was brought to him. But since he did not have the means to repay, his lord commanded him to be sold, along with his wife and children and all that he had, and repayment to be made. So the slave fell to the ground and prostrated himself before him, saying, ‘Have patience with me and I will repay you everything.’ And the lord of that slave felt compassion and released him and forgave him the debt.  But that slave went out and found one of his fellow slaves who owed him a hundred denarii; and he seized him and began to choke him, saying, ‘Pay back what you owe.’ So his fellow slave fell to the ground and began to plead with him, saying, ‘Have patience with me and I will repay you.’ But he was unwilling and went and threw him in prison until he should pay back what was owed. So when his fellow slaves saw what had happened, they were deeply grieved and came and reported to their lord all that had happened. Then summoning him, his lord said to him, ‘You wicked slave, I forgave you all that debt because you pleaded with me. Should you not also have had mercy on your fellow slave, in the same way that I had mercy on you?’ And his lord, moved with anger, handed him over to the torturers until he should repay all that was owed him. My heavenly Father will also do the same to you, if each of you does not forgive his brother from your heart.” - Matthew 18:23-35 

Run over by an 18 wheeler

In this video, I say to the man receiving healing, that his sins are forgiven. In the past I've been met with resistance for saying this by those who don't understand authority or their relationship with the Holy Spirit. The scripture that teaches us this is in the gospel of John. It's in the context of having the Holy Spirit, which automatically implies that the disciple is taking his instructions from the Spirit.

When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were glad when they saw the Lord. Jesus therefore said to them again, “Peace be to you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you.” When he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit! If you forgive anyone’s sins, they have been forgiven them. If you retain anyone’s sins, they have been retained.” - John 20:20-23

Martin Luther and Indulgences

Martin Luther, the Protestant Reformer wrote his 95 Thesis to protest the corruption of Johann Tetzel and the way he collected indulgences for the Papacy. Indulgences are basically money. It's the same as giving alms into the Roman Catholic Church. Tetzel even went as far as to tell people that they could pay off future sins by giving an indulgence. One of the corrupt results of this practice was that people thought that they didn't have to repent of their sins or even feel bad about them.

Here's a link to read the 95 Thesis:
http://www.luther.de/en/95thesen.html

Is Pope Francis a heretic?

Adding to what I said on this video, I site scripture to counter the claim that the Pope sits on the seat of Peter. The Papacy uses this claim concerning Peter because they think Jesus was referring to Peter when he said that he would build his church, "upon this rock" (Matthew 16:18). Protestants do not believe that Jesus was referring to Peter as the rock that he would build his church on.  Martin Luther, the Protestant Reformer, opposed this Roman Catholic teaching by siting scripture (1Corinthians 3:11). Here are both verses.

I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it. - Matthew 16:18

For no man can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. - 1Corinthians 3:11
