Whispering Spirits come to Destroy Chief Friends
Proverbs 16:28
The Lord revealed to me that this forum is under tremendous attack – why because the enemy absolutely hates this forum. Last night I sat on my bed and the Lord began to reveal to me things that were going on behind the scenes. My soul was quite as I froze and listened as the Lord began to reveal the strategic plans of the enemy to destroy friendships.
I spoke to the Lord and said I don’t want my friendships to be destroyed – so I asked the Lord a question: Why do I sense that friendships are being destroyed. No answer from the Lord.
Then this morning a friend sent me a scripture, as I read it – the scripture answered my question that I sought of the Lord. The scripture is Proverbs 16:28 which states “A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends.”I kept mediating on that scripture and the Lord spoke to my heart and said “It all starts with just one whisper.”
Whispering spirits are manipulating and strategic – why because the whisper is behind closed doors, inbox messages, text messages, and in private board rooms. But today I have identified this evil manipulating spirit and I break and destroy it at the root. I bind ever whispering spirit about someone’s past, present, or future. I come against every whispering spirit that would attempt to creep into this forum to separate and divide friendships – and I loose the spirit of peace.
Today, the Lord show me a vision of how this all happened. I saw the enemy sitting back observing everyone’s conduct and in the vision I saw the enemy sitting back observing text messages, inbox messages, and private conversations. In the vision I saw and heard the enemy say “so they think they are demon agitators but I will come to separate them.” I asked the Lord who is them and I heard part of the scripture being spoken “chief friends.”
The Lord began to take me into the very board room of the enemy – and I know the strategic plans of the enemy to destroy friendships.
The Word of God says “if two or three are gathering in my name there I will be in the midst.” So I ask you to stop gossiping, texting, inboxing, and having private conversations about other people testimonies, failures, and mental disorders – because it’s a trick from the enemy to destroy this entire friendships – to have us bickering between each other.
Don’t let the whispering spirit cause strife and separate chief friends.

I have inherited my Father's riches!
I got a revelation the other day I have to share! There are two kinds of "rich" people. The ones that worked their tail off, and then there are those who inherit wealth from family. Those who worked hard for what they have always tend to boast on their struggle to get the success and wealth they earned. On the other hand there are people who have had their riches handed to them, who hasn't had to, nor will have to, work a day in their lives to EARN wealth. People have an innate sense of "fairness" and those who don't earn it honestly... well... it goes against that innate sense of fairness.
Jealousy, greed, love of money... well, you might even bring it way back to the beginning of "history"... at least Biblical history! Cain slew Abel because God had found that Abel's gift to Him was "more acceptable" than Cain's gift. That made Cain angry, it was UNFAIR, Abel didn't DESERVE that "reward" of God's better favor. So, out of jealousy and hate, he slew his brother. These feelings are ingrained in human nature..

But to be honest I feel like that wealthy person who inherited wealth! I have joy unspeakable, peace through a storm that makes no sense, grace and mercy, salvation, etc. I have freely received all of Gods riches and I didn't have to lift a finger to earn it! As a matter of fact, it is all wealth I don't deserve! All I had to do was accept Him as my Father; and the riches are all inclusive in the package!

A Virtuous Woman In the Eyes of God PART 1
Many Christians’ definition of a “virtuous woman” would center on prayer, Bible study, and spirituality. But God’s Scriptural portrait of the virtuous woman is surprisingly different.
The Bible speaks of the “virtuous woman”. Who is she? How does God in His Word describe her? Does she pray faithfully each day? Is she used in the gifts of the Holy Spirit? Does she consistently do daily Bible study and have regular devotional times? The answer? — None of these traits is listed in God’s most extensive Scriptural description of virtuous women.
There is no doubt that the excellent attributes listed above are valuable aspects of the lives of every Christian woman. However, God devotes almost an entire chapter of the Bible (Proverbs 31) to His description of the “virtuous woman”. And the favorable traits that God lists are, surprisingly to some, of a substantially different nature. The Bible’s grand description of the godly woman in the eyes of God — that is,
Proverbs 31:10, "Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies." In other words a virtuous woman is "priceless".
Vs. 11 "Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value."
-A virtuous woman inspires absolute confidence in her husband. He can “safely trust in her”. She is not impulsive, scatterbrained, or unpredictable. Rather, she can be trusted. Her husband can be confident in her. She will never deliberately let him down. The husband of a biblical, virtuous woman “lacks nothing of value”. That is illustrated by some of her remarkable traits in the succeeding verses.
Vs. 12 "She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life."
-The Proverbs 31 virtuous woman “brings him good” — that is, her husband. She is not a “liberated” woman as defined by modern feminists. She is God-fearing (vs. 31), a woman of God, and also very much husband and family-oriented. And these are seen throughout this chapter as positive traits.
Proverbs 12:4 "A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband. She brings him good."
-There does seem to be biblical wisdom in the modern-day universally recognized truth that “behind every good man stands a good woman”. She is an asset to her husband. She will never intentionally bring harm his way.
Vs. 13 "She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands."
-This godly woman is skilled and capable in working with fabric. The modern counterpart would be skill in things like quilting and sewing. And notice that “she works”. There is no hint of laziness in this woman who is praised by God. And she “worketh willingly with her hands”. She is “willing to get her hands dirty”, as the old saying goes. She is no diva, no prima donna, she has no desire for exposure, she is not an attention seeker! On the other hand, she is humble. A woman of God is not “above” manual work.
Vs. 14 "She is like the merchant ships, bringing her food from afar."
-She understands that the duties of a wife and mother include ensuring that her family is well fed. A virtuous, biblical woman, will excel in this area. She will not only go about to learn the necessary cooking skills, but she will study sound nutrition and will ensure that her family is fed nutritiously, not with a high proportion of out-of-the-box junk food.
Vs. 15 "She gets up while it is still dark; she provides food for her family.."
-I must say I do not read this verse and believe it is meant to be taken literal rather than looked at in a deeper perspective. I believe it means a virtuous woman is to rise daily to care for her family and duties no matter the attitude or conviction of the woman's heart, rather than literally what times she awakes. Basically, a Biblically submissive wife should rise with the attitude and mindset of that of our Lord Jesus Christ: "Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though He was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but made Himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross." Philippians 2:5-8
The character of a Proverbs 31 woman so far (verses 10-15), it is understood that a biblically submissive wife is not what the world would like to make her out to be. She is not weak, she is not ignorant, she is not a fool, nor is she uneducated and unfamiliar with hard work and tumultuous trials.
Vs. 16 "She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard."
-I read an analogy on this verse while I was studying to write this blog about the grapes of a vineyard and this woman; 1, She is special. She grows under conditions in which no other woman would be able to thrive. 2, She doesn't need special "soil" (things from this world; expensive jewelry, clothes, or other indulgences), she only requires lots of exposure to the Son. 3, She grows on a hillside - the steeper the better. This enables her to "drain" any excess and unneeded "water" (baggage) so that she is not saturated by the burdens of this world, which would drown her and hinder her growth. 4, Because the soil she is planted in is so porous, she has to dig deep into her Foundation (Christ Jesus) so her roots will be firm and strong. 5, To produce healthy fruit, she must be pruned regularly so her leaves (outward beauty and desires of the flesh) do not "steal" all the nutrients necessary in order for her to bear much fruit in the name of the Jesus. 6, Although her "roots" are strong (because they are founded in Jesus), she still needs a train (her husband) to stand tall and hold up her delicate branches so that her fruit is not trampled on, dirtied or injured. 7, "The worse the "soil" (difficult times), the stronger her faith!" Another way to apply daily living to this verse is by looking at it like this; this woman does not engage in any affairs that would cause her family to go into debt, but instead only makes purchases from the "fruit of her own hands" which is the funds she has already earned from previous work she has performed, or funds that have been allotted to her by her husband.
Vs. 17 "She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks."
-In the natural a virtuous women are not afraid of physical work. But in the spiritual she exercises her faith by carrying the burdens of other brothers and sisters through prayer and good works. She is able to do this by dressing herself with strength through, The Word of God, the full armor of God, the joy of Christ, the peace of Christ, the humility of Christ, the attitude of Christ, the wisdom from the Holy Spirit
Vs. 18 "She sees that her trading is profitable, and her lamp does not go out at night"
-To perceive something means much more than just being able to see something or to simply take notice of it. "She is one that makes what she does to turn to a good account, by her prudent management of it. She does not toil all night and catch nothing; no, she herself perceives that her merchandise is good she is sensible that in all her labor there is profit, and that encourages her to go on in it. She perceives that she can make things herself better and cheaper than she can buy them; she finds by observation what branch of her employment brings in the best returns, and to that she applies herself most closely." The second part of the verse says “her lamp does not go out at night.” His light (His glory) shines to all people, everyone who sees Christ in us, in the good times and in the bad. When we allow God's light to shine through us we give honor and praise to God because others will recognize that what we do, can not be from ourselves, but must come from a higher power. A virtuous woman's lamp of profession also known as a glorious light of the Gospel is always kept burning because this woman is of good counsel, and it is well lit by the light shone through her.
Vs. 19 "In her hand she holds the distaff and grasps the spindle with her fingers."
- From the origin of the word "distaff", it is concluded that being referred to as a "distaff" or a "spinster" would be a compliment, not an insult. But somehow we find ourselves once again, far removed from the original intent of what God created to be beautiful and encouraging, into becoming something not quite as lovely; once again accomplished by the hands of foolish and ungodly women. Originally, to be a "spinster" or "distaff" was a compliment. As those who could both hold a distaff and spindle in her hand had to be strong (physically and spiritually), intelligent, skilled, patient and demonstrated much strength as she completed tasks that were always a blessing to many others. Tabitha in the old testament is a good example of this type of woman.
Vs. 20 "She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy."
-Her home-based skills have earned her a profitable income. She is ever willing to share this blessing with the poor and needy.

Psychics, Horoscopes, etc...it's all sin.
The Bible strongly condemns spiritism, mediums, the occult, and psychics (Leviticus 20:27; Deuteronomy 18:10-13). Horoscopes, tarot cards, astrology, fortune tellers, palm readings, and séances fall into this category as well. These practices are based on the concept that there are gods, spirits, or deceased loved ones that can give advice and guidance. These “gods” or “spirits” are demons (2 Corinthians 11:14-15). The Bible gives us no reason to believe that deceased loved ones can contact us. If they were believers, they are in heaven enjoying the most wonderful place imaginable in fellowship with a loving God. If they were not believers, they are in hell, suffering the un-ending torment for rejecting God’s love and rebelling against Him.
How do mediums, spiritists, and psychics get such accurate information or how does a horoscope seem like it hit the nail right on the head, and feels so true about what your going through? Well first off, starting with mediums, spiritists, and psychics or fortune tellers there have been many exposures of psychics as frauds. It has been proven that psychics can gain immense amounts of information on someone through ordinary means. Sometimes by just using a telephone number through caller ID and an internet search, a psychic can get names, addresses, dates of birth, dates of marriage, family members, etc. Second, as far as horoscopes, believing the future is held in astrological forune telling by using stars and maps was a tactic used by the Greeks influenced by satan. However, it is undeniable that some psychics and horoscopes sometimes know things that should be impossible for them to know. Where do they get this information? The answer is from Satan and his demons. “And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve” (2 Corinthians 11:14-15). The truth is these "ghosts" are not the spirits of men and women, but rather fallen angels masquerading as our loved ones. If man believes that he becomes a ghost or is reincarnated at death, he will exclude the possibility of heaven as his eternal home and God as his Father. Some "ghosts" have appeared to humans claiming that they want to "help" them. They posses a knowledge that only that person could know. Which is convincing to the person involved. But what that person fails to realize is that angels have existed since God created the world. Angels are "older" than us, and older than our loved ones. They can easily retain knowledge about that persons life that "only they could know". Other "ghosts" are clearly out to cause harm. Such is the case in hauntings.
A clear biblical example is in Acts 16:16-18. "Once when we were going to the place of prayer, we were met by a female slave who had a spirit by which she predicted the future. She earned a great deal of money for her owners by fortune-telling. She followed Paul and the rest of us, shouting, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who are telling you the way to be saved.” She kept this up for many days. Finally Paul became so annoyed that he turned around and said to the spirit, “In the name of Jesus Christ I command you to come out of her!” At that moment the spirit left her." In other words, this women who is a fortune teller is being a vessel for satan. He is using her for HIS glory, but Paul became so annoyed with her he rebuked the demon out of her (See how he turned to her and spoke to the spirit within her) because she was possessed. This is in the bible FOR our example to show us these fortune tellers, horoscope writers, palm readers, etc, are not of God.
Satan pretends to be kind and helpful. He tries to appear as something good. That is why horoscopes can be of love, or money, or family, not just bad things. Satan is good at being nice in a deceiving kind of way, kind of like a really bad friend. Satan and his demons will give a psychic information about a person in order to get that person hooked into spiritism, something that God forbids. It appears innocent at first, but soon people can find themselves addicted to psychics and unwittingly allow Satan to control and destroy their lives. Peter proclaimed, “Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour” (1 Peter 5:8). The Bible says that one third of the angels rebelled against God. Satan (Lucifer) was the angel in charge of this rebellion. These angels were punished by being banished from heaven. Satan hates man because man has a relationship with God that angels could never have. Man was made in the image and likeness of God. Satan is jealous of this and hates us for it. He wants to deceive human kind into rejecting God, so that man will share the same punishment that he is destined for. Satan is aware that a single lie wont be effective in deceiving everyone. So he came up with several. Some people would be deceived by Ghosts and reincarnation. Others would adopt an evolutionary philosophy, that the world created itself without God. Others would be deceived into believing in pagan gods, etc...
The Bible says that Satan sends fallen angels to earth to deceive us. Satan wants us to doubt the existence of God, he has turned it into a competition with God and who can get the most souls. Part of this deception is the appearance of "ghosts". Satan wants man to believe that these are the spirits of people who have died. That they have overcome the chains of death and returned.
In some cases, the psychics themselves are deceived, not knowing the true source of the information they receive. Whatever the case and wherever the source of the information, nothing connected to spiritism, witchcraft, or astrology is a godly means of discovering information.
If it's not of God, from God, or out of his word it's from satan. Its that black and white! A word from God is the only trust worthy fortune telling!

Quit being lukewarm!
Revelation 3:15-16 "I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth."
Those who hold to this view believe that the word "hot" refers to someone who is "spiritually hot or fervent," whereas the word "cold" refers to someone who is "spiritually stagnant or dead". With this view, "lukewarm" would refer to someone who claims to be spiritually "rich" (or "hot"), but who lives like someone who is spiritually "cold." This person claims to be something that he isn't (Revelation 3:17) - and to Jesus, this is repulsive. I see this alot. And actually it makes me feel the same way Jesus feels. Its the person who comes to church on Sunday, gets their praise on and walks out the door the same as they were when they walked in. Its the person who calls on God only when things arent going their way, but then ditches Him after He moves their mountains. Its the person who ignores the conviction of the Holy Spirit and is now totally immune to Him. Its simply the person who says they are saved but doesnt live, act or talk like they are truly saved. These people can fool themselves, but they cannot fool the Lord. This is why He said: 1 John 3:10 "By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God.."
Its not living by rules but by relationship. You wouldn't sin against your mother purposely because you wouldn't want to hurt her. Why? Because you have a loving relationship with her. This is where many nonsaved people get confused. They feel like Christians live by a list of rules that say you can't have sex before marriage, cuss, or get drunk but in all actuality it is really because we don't want to, and also it would hurt the Lord. If we claim to be the children of God we should be for Him 100%. If you are not fully for him, for example if your 99% and less, He considers you a child of the devil. When I think back at the old secular rap music I used to listen to the rapper would thank God for their money and for still being alive after being shot five times, but in the next verse degrade women! That God being thanked for the money is the devil! What really gets me is obviously they believe in God if they are giving Him thanks, and in that case they must know there is a heaven and hell. All it takes is being honest with themselves and realizing what they are doing is not pleasing in the Lord's eyes. Therefore they are dooming themselves to hell. Oh, by the way, just an FYI, He doesn't want credit for that anyway! You can't give a God who refuses to look upon sin credit for your sin! Pure ignorance.
Matthew 5:13 “You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet." Lukewarm Christians tend to try negotiating with God. Too much interpretation of the Word can cause a church to become lukewarm. This is dangerous because it can become like a domino affect. A lukewarm church does their works in vain. Witnessing, missions, and any other outreach is not preaching the full gospel. Lukewarm Christians reject the fact there is a judgement day, a hell, and a devil who wants them there! It would be better for them to be pew warmers than to lead others down the wrong path.
Matthew 6:24. "No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other.." Lukewarm Christians come to church and sweet talk the Lord with their mouths. But, like I said before, He knows their heart. He knows the intention of their actions. But throughout the days they sin out of knowledge (sin knowing their sinning). I call that sleeping with the enemy behind Gods back. Quit cheating on Him and using Him for His mercy. This verse in Matthew clearly states there is no possible way to serve Him while serving the enemy. When I say serving the enemy, think about it like this; your serving him by allowing him to use you blind. This is why he says this; Matthew 12:30 Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.
But keep this in mind; Deuteronomy 30:19 I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse.." Pay attention to the word against. Every idol words that come out of our mouths, every action and every thought is being recorded (Revelation 21:12). The bible says onthe day of judgement before anyone is sent to hell they will agree that is where they deserve to go. How could it be any other way if our every word and action is recorded? When all your dirty laundry is laid out for all heaven and earth to see. When you are sitting in court with the judge who had been at every scene. How can you lie to a God who knows everything about you, who knows what your about to say before you say it. There is no lawyer to get you off the hook at that point. While you still have the chance Jesus can intercess to the Father for you, you just have to invite Him first.

The bible says onthe day of judgement before anyone is sent to hell they will agree that is where they deserve to go. How could it be any other way if our every word and action is recorded? When all your dirty laundry is laid out for all heaven and earth to see. When you are sitting in court with the judge who had been at every scene. How can you lie to a God who knows everything about you, who knows what your about to say before you say it. There is no lawyer to get you off the hook at that point. While you still have the chance Jesus can intercess to the Father for you, you just have to invite Him first.

What an experience..
This past Sunday, I woke up at 5:30 AM wide awake. I go to the kitchen and make Caomi's bottle for when she wakes up. I went back to bed tried to fall asleep and the Lord spoke to me, "There will be no more late nights, but early mornings." I wondered, okay well why am I awake? "Pray", He said. Automatically my flesh and soul began to wrestle. By the time it was 5:55, I thought if I dont fall asleep by 6:00 I'll pray. That was the fastest five minutes. I laid there staring at the clock 56,57,58. Ok I'm not going back to sleep.This must be serious.
I get up and I sense 30 minutes. I went to the spare bedroom, lay down on my back and began to pray, "I don't know what I'm suppose to be praying for, so Holy Spirit I submit to you." Tears began to flow immediately from my eyes. Why am I crying? No not crying, I began to weep uncontrollably, mourning, over what felt like a broken heart. Is my soul repenting? "Forgive me," I cry. I can't stop, I soak half a roll of toilet paper in tears. I dont think it's humanly possible to cry this much. I began to pray in the spirit, I seen myself at the feet of the Lord crying, He was standing at what looked like an altar, behind me there were countless people wearing white bowing before Him, my mom,dad, brother and sister were behind me, I was thanking him and saying "If it weren't for You they wouldn't be here." For some strange reason a man stood up from the crowd, I couldnt hear what he was saying but it looked as if he was arguing with God. Still, I have no idea what this vision meant. over time He will reveal it to me. Back to myself. I began to cry harder. How that was possible, I have the slightest idea. Next I seen my heart and His heart, together, encircling around our hearts was His crown of thorns. Nothing can get between us, whatever tries, must get past the thorns. Thank you Jesus. My phone catches my attention. The clock says 6:30. I go back to my bed, still crying. Josh asks whats wrong and I tell him what I saw, how he could understand me I have no clue, I was hysterical. We prayed about it. I couldnt fall back asleep. However it ended up being a blessed day, emotional but blessed. Church service was great, praise and worship for me was like never before. Also I received an email from a high school classmate asking for help in building faith. She said "I need help and I knew you could help me." If thats not an honor I don't know what is! And she wants to come to church with me. Halle-lujah!
I dont know how I am significant in His eyes. I dont see myself the way He sees me. I'm so greatful he looks past my faults and sees my future. I have a bubbling up inside me, I want to be radical for him. I want to do something to advance his kingom. I engage in a path that this entire world will never be able to understand. Especially to those whose spiritual eyes are closed, to them I'm crazy. I dont care though, if I'm crazy to them I'm doing the right thing in His eyes. 1 Corinthians 2:14 "But people who aren't spiritual can't receive these truths from God's Spirit. It all sounds foolish to them and they can't understand it, for only those who are spiritual can understand what the Spirit means."
