Spreading the Saving Grace of Christ Jesus. Giving God the glory in all circumstances and allowing Him to transform lives and hearts through the atoning work on the Cross. "For we are saved by grace through faith...Ephesians 2:8-9. Love and praise Him with all your heart, mind, strength and soul. Love thy neighbor as thyself and these are the 2 greatest commandments. For even Christ Jesus came not to be served but to serve and sacrifice.

Maranatha rings out from ALL THE SAINTS and we echo: "come Lord Jesus" to take us HOME...
Revelation 22: 12 “And behold, I come quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every man according as his work shall be.
13 I am Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.”
14 Blessed are they that do His commandments, that they may have right to the Tree of Life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
15 For outside are dogs and sorcerers, and whoremongers and murderers and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
16 “I, Jesus, have sent Mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the Bright and Morning Star.”
About the time of the end the biblical prophet Ezekiel tells of a future invasion of Israel by a vast coalition of nations, known as the battle of Gog and Magog, we find this in Ezekiel chapters 38 and 39. As we read the headlines in the newspapers of today, and witness the conflicts in the Middle East, it's not hard to imagine that this invasion prophesied over 2600 years ago, could be fulfilled in the immediate future. Ezekiel 36-37 predicts a gathering of the Jews to the nation of Israel, which will be followed by this massive invasion. For 19 centuries, the Jewish people were scattered throughout the world, and until May 14, 1948, there was no nation of Israel to invade. With the nation of Israel now a reality, the stage seems set for the war that will usher in the tribulation and the rise of the Antichrist; a war that will end with the destruction of Israel's enemies by God Himself, and lead to the signing of a peace treaty with the Antichrist.
As you read Ezekiel 38 and 39, it isn't just the creation of the nation of Israel that makes this prophecy seem likely to be fulfilled in the near future. The nations that God tells us will form this coalition against Israel seem more likely now than perhaps ever before to form just such an alliance." The leaders of this coalition will be Russia and Iran, and currently both of these nations are right on Israel's doorstep, under the pretense of battling ISIS in Syria. I believe that there are a couple of unfulfilled prophecies that will lead-up to this massive invasion of Israel, and as we read today's headlines, we find that the fulfillment of these two prophesied events, could happen very soon!
I watch some television shows and I also watch a lot of movies on PureFlix. As a former "coach potato," I know just how television can effect your thoughts, and decide that because it's accepted, it's okay with God. IF you watch television, choose wisely what you subject your mind to. Sometimes we ALL forget that what we're watching is fictional and not facts. It can and does affect your thoughts, be they good or bad. The truth is, at least for my generation, there's nothing being made today that's even worth watching. Also, if possible, record your television shows and movies so you can avoid the commercials that are oftentimes worse than the shows. I'm NOT saying viewing is a sin but you do need to be aware of how Hollywood is trying to further remove God and Christ Jesus out of of lives. It is manipulative so guard your minds always! Choose everything you do wisely and if you are watching a show and get a feeling you shouldn't, if I were you, I'd turn it off, even if you like it. You can always find out what happened at the end. I do movie/TV criticism and I plan on making a list of shows where I think the message is more Godly than some that claim to be Biblical. Love always in Christ Jesus! Brenda Alexander
“And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.” Ezekiel44:23
Praise the Lord brothers and sisters in Christ. By the help of the Lord I hope to continue with our discussion of Hollywood and programming. We have thus far covered some Etymology, Definitions, the Spiritual side, and spiritual side effects of movies/Television programming. We discussed how some actors and actresses who make a living being broadcast ed into our homes via the TV or DVD/Blue-ray etc. won’t watch TV or even own one. Even a self-proclaimed Satan worshiper who wouldn’t allow his children to watch TV because he thought it was evil. WOW, the Luciferian thinks TV is evil…the word irony comes to mind. I may touch upon those subjects again slightly because there is ample amounts of data, but I would like to touch upon the physical, emotional, and Neurological aspects and side effects of Programming. There will be several hyperlinks or copy and paste URLs here. Please take the time to check them out to learn more on the topic/s words they are near. Television is used to hypnotize the masses subtly. What is hypnotizing and what are its origins? Glad you asked.
Hypnosis : (n) the induction of a state of consciousness in which a person apparently loses the power of voluntary action and is highly responsive to suggestion or direction. Its use in therapy, typically to recover suppressed memories or to allow modification of behavior by suggestion, has been revived but is still controversial.
o the state of consciousness produced by hypnosis.
(Above definition came from google. Below from Merriam Webster)
1. 1: a trance like state that resembles sleep but is induced by a person whose suggestions are readily accepted by the subject
2. 2: any of various conditions that resemble sleep
shortening of neuro-hypnotism, term introduced by British surgeon James Braid (1795-1860) in 1842 (etymonline.com) hypnosis (n.)
1869, "the coming on of sleep," coined (as an alternative to hypnotism) from hypno- "sleep" + -osis "condition." But the distinction was not sustained, and by 1880 hypnosis was being used of artificially induced conditions. Franz Anton Mesmer, a Viennese physician who got his doctorate for a plagiarized dissertation on how the planets affect health, practiced Mesmerism which led to Hypnotism. Mesmer was also an occult Freemason! Mesmerism is a bit of medical quackery developed in the 1806 Sibly18th-century by Dr. Franz Anton Mesmer. It involves some social role-playing with the mesmerizer making suggestions and his clients becoming absolutely mesmerized by him. Mesmer used his extraordinary powers of suggestion to send people into frenzied convulsions or sleep-like trances. He was so successful that to this day we use his name to describe the exercise of such powers over others. (from An article called the Satanic origin of hypnotism by David J Stewart) http://www.historyofhypnosis.org/ this should be a very interesting read on the history of Hypnosis. I recommend checking it out.
Now very briefly here is the definition of witchcraft as given by a former Wicca Practitioner “Magic is the manipulation of images, objects, sounds, or words to achieve an altered state of consciousness. Like the word Grimoire is simply a fancy way of saying book of spells. A spell can be just that, spelling out specific words in tones, and certain languages”
This brings art, secular books, music, jewelry, etc. into a whole new light How does this tie in to the word of God? These practices are akin to what’s in the following scripture: "When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD." -Deuteronomy 18:9-12
So it’s witchcraft and a tool used to catapult propaganda. Starting to sound like a conspiracy now right? First off, the use of the word conspiracy became much more frequent as the media began to indoctrinate its loyal viewers with the word as a deterrent from those who would and do expose the truth they desperately try to hide. The news must be real though, I mean these people are funny and sometimes witty right?
https://youtu.be/eZVv2AOCnaA- (you really only need a few minutes of viewing as this video can be repetitive) https://youtu.be/X1G9nCFgRfwhttps://youtu.be/2yFQqDsk_LM-Note I am not promoting the rise up and fight thing at the end. As saints we fight in the spirit real by taking a stand for holiness in this one. Still think MKULTRA is conspiracy? Ever hear of Operation Mocking Bird? How about MK ULTRA? What exactly is MKULTRA government project designed for the study of how the brain works. (The study has already been conducted). Remember Mayim Bialik with the PHD in Neuroscience? While watching TV in just a few short minutes the brain goes from Beta wave state (Normal waking state) to an Alpha wave state (Alpha brain waves are present in deep relaxation and usually when the eyes are closed, when you’re daydreaming or during light meditation. It is an optimal time to program the mind and it also heightens the imagination, visualization, memory, learning and concentration. This also means that in this state while watching TV you cannot critically analyze the data being input into your brain and more susceptible to suggestion.)
Commercials are in many cases engineered by psychologists to ensure that company’s not only get your attention but also persuade some to purchase their products. Now when you expose this agenda the one who stand to lose (mere fractions of) income because of the exposure, they get upset and retaliate much like When people became upset that Paul was preaching the truth and exposing the false religions and false gods.
24) For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, which made silver shrines for Diana, brought no small gain unto the craftsmen;
25) Whom he called together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth.
26) Moreover ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away much people, saying that they be no gods, which are made with hands:
27) So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth.
28) And when they heard these sayings, they were full of wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians. Act 19:24-28 https://youtu.be/EC7VLjIw8hY
They will throw in the human element in a film or show so that you can in some way identify with the character. (one example) So many sad and brutally unfair things happen to the character from some bullies and/or antagonist/s and then at the end of the movie their revenge comes in the form of slaughtering their former tormenters. This provoked an emotional response. 2 Things happened just then.
You were glad their tormentors were killed
This movie glorified sins and you were happy about it.
What do I mean glorifying sin? Take James Bond for example. I used to enjoy his movies. However, he is a womanizer, fornicator, and murderer. These elements are in every movie he is in, some of these same elements are found in kids cartoons as well as TV shows and movies. Soap operas are included. There is one called passions where they have witches and magic as well as a familiar (familiar spirit) . Beginning to see the pattern here? They can’t even come up with anything new. It is always good VS evil just like right now with the battle for our souls. We were born into a war where the victor is predetermined (Jesus) we can choose to be victors or become collateral damage. I warn you this next video (below) has some random foul language in it, it is very few and far between. Meaning that it is not filled with profanity, not a constant bombardment of the language, and I in no way promote it but this is one of the best documentary that has a great collection of data that prevents me from having to put several more videos here. Again. It is not a requirement to understand these points. But this has some of almost every other video I put in this.https://youtu.be/-b9j6fJqD-g
Another interesting point is this: more and more it seems impossible to not come across something blasphemous, or lewd, or demonic. Even National Pornographic…wait I mean National geographic constantly has topless women. Oh you thought it was about culture? Then these people curse God, or Blaspheme, why is it (the TV or Movie) still on? You won’t let someone curse your wife/husband or your children or even you but you sit and allow yourself to be entertained by literally possessed people and the devils operating in them as well as watching the scripts/ plots unfold that were written by these demonic entities (as outlined in the previous post on this topic-Automatic Writing) I understand that the storyline may be captivating and the CGIs as well as choreography is top notch by actors you enjoy, but ask yourself is momentary distraction worth your soul? Yes your soul. You are eating and drinking with the world! Eating and drinking the same filth that the world is drunk on. Now let me clarify this does not exclude sports.
Now that you know this remember these things. There is ample evils seen, insinuated, and spoken on TV/movies.
14)Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
15) And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
16) And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
17) Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, 18And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty”. 2 Corinthians 6:16 “Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.” 1 Corinthians 15:33
”Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned”? Proverbs 6:27
We know God is Omnipresent, so he sees and hears and knows the filth we are watching, listening to, and enjoying.
“For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.” 1 Peter 3:12
“The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good”. Proverbs 15:3
“Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God”. 2 Corinthians 7:1
“Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy: for I the LORD your God am holy”. Leviticus 19:2
I am going to conclude this entire topic now with saying that Jesus loves you, I Love you all, and May We All Draw Closer To Christ In Spirit & In Truth!
Do Christians hate or fear homosexuals? No! Is it a sin? Yes but so is lying! Sin is sin is sin. For all have SINNED and fallen short of the glory of God. Romans 8:28. We are ALL in need of a Savior, Christ Jesus. There is no sin that cannot be forgiven. Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit CANNOT be committed unless you die without receiving Salvation!
We do not hate, fear or wish harm on gays. I have a very dear relative who is gay that I love dearly. So please go to this link to listen to this man's TRUTH on what a TRUE CHRISTIAN believes and what those who do not live by His Principle's believe AND how to tell the difference. God loves us all. Be blessed and love in Christ Jesus! The Truth About TRUE Christians and Homosexuality
“And be renewed in the spirit of your mind”; Ephesians4:23 “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:” Philippians 2:5 “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind”. 2 Timothy 1:7 A sound mind and a carnal mind are not the same.
“Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be”. Romans 8:7 Most of what is produced is quite carnal, sinful, blasphemous, and is designed to make you think, that you thought something, that they actually implanted in your mind through the programming. Changing your mental makeup and corroding your spiritual connection to God. Why do you think Evolution, Atheism, and LGBT related things are constantly all over the TV, Movies, kid shows, video games, and even apart of school curriculum? And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Romans 12:2 This world actively participates in many of the activities that we watch. Programming is designed to change you into the thing God abhors. Can’t we see this is setting us up for the Anti-Christ? To create a type of Hive mind like bees for example. For those who study the Alien/Demon agenda this is quite familiar. These devils are influencing folk to think that we must all think alike and share the same sinful ideologies and engage in sinful behaviors. Is this biblical?
“(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)” Philippians 3:18-19 We profane or defile the temple when we drink in this filth, same with secular music. Remember the definition of witchcraft? The manipulation of objects, images, sounds, words…to achieve an altered state of consciousness. “My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not”. Proverbs 1:10 Another scripture says: “Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men.” Proverbs 4:14 “As pertaining to holiness Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing”. Philippians 3:16 That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 15:6
How can this be achieved if the enemy has a foothold in our minds and hearts and homes through secular programing under the guise of entertainment? You watch this stuff and it opens you up to demonic influence because you are becoming unclean. How long can you eat and drink with the world and what the world eats and drinks before as the scripture says God giving you over to sinful nature. “And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;” Romans1:28
“What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost [which is] in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?” 1 Corinthians 6:19 - Just in case any have been misled to believe the whole “Once Saved, Always Saved False doctrine. “If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.” 1 Corinthians 3:17 “Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage”. Galatians 5:1 You can but don’t have to backslide. Stay clean. Don’t be caught back up in sin for temporary pleasure. “Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;” 1 Peter 1:13 “For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:” Hebrews 8:10
Are you not having enough victory in your life? Situations? Sins? No prayer or fasting breakthrough? But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear Isaiah 59:2 Try spending less time being entertained and stretch out on God, Focus on building a much better relationship with Him through Prayer, Fasting, and Reading the Word of God consistently. Romans 13:14 - But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to [fulfil] the lusts [thereof]. y “Because it is written, Be ye ho; for I am holy.” 1 Peter1:16 – “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, [which is] your reasonable service.” Romans 12:1
One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. Romans 14:5 If others still watch sinful stuff, don’t fret. You be saved! You strive to enter in at the straight gate! Romans 1:1-32 - Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called [to be] an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God, (Read More...) 2 Corinthians 7:1 - Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things”. Philippians 4:8
As an after thought : These words are mentioned in the bible numerous times. Must be a reason. Prayer 128 times, Mind (and other forms of the word)137 times “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.” Isaiah 26:3 “Pray without ceasing”. 1 Thessalonians 5:17
Jesus Loves You, I love you, & May We All Draw Closer To Christ In Spirit & In Spirit & In Truth!
Everyone wants and needs friends. But not all friendships are created equal—some are true and some are toxic. What if our friends are really hurting us?
Friendship is important to everyone. We seek friends very early in childhood; and if we are lucky, some of those early friendships may stay with us for life!
King Solomon wrote, “A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity” (Proverbs 17:17).
Unfortunately, not all friendships are created equal. Some friendships produce a very positive impact on us, while others do not. It is the difference between one that is a true friend and one that is not.
What makes a true friend, and how do you know when you have one or are one? Is it possible to have a friendship that is actually hurting you?
A toxic friendship can cause a lot of damage, emotionally, mentally, even physically. Here’s how you can tell the difference.
Luke, a physician, writes with the compassion and wrmth of a family doctor as he carefully documents the perfect humanity of the Son of Man, Jesus Christ. Luke emphasizes Jesus' ancestry, birth, and early life before moving carefully and chronologically through His earthly ministry. Growing belief and growing opposition develop side by side. Those who believe are challenged to count the cost of discipleship. Those who oppose will not be satisfied until the Son of Man hangs lifeless on a cross. But the Resurrection insures that His purpose will be fulfilled: "to seek, and to save that which was lost." (Luke 19:10)
Kata Loukan, "According to Luke," is the ancient title that was added to this Gospel at a very early date. The Greek name Luke appears only thee times in the New Testament (Colossians 4:14; 2 Timothy 4:11, and Philemon 1:24)
My Bible is very unique. Before each Book, it gives a small bit of information on the book, who it was written by and general info on what it's about. It's the BEST Bible I have ever owned. I got it at the Dollar General for $11. I almost didn't buy it and it was not where you would expect to find one but my 56 year old eyes just don't see well and the ONLY KJV Bible with "red letters" was small print and very hard to find. It only costs $3. Oh, I was grateful but ready to spend $30 on one. They didn't have a large print, red letter KJV edition anywhere in a CHRISTIAN BOOKSTORE! All they had were these expensive "new" editions I wouldn't pay $1 for. So each day, starting with the New Testament, I'll share this info. I started with Mark but I will start over with Matthew. You can find the information on Mark by clicking on my Archived posts. God bless you all and so much LOVE in Christ Jesus. Brenda Alexander
