I realise that being a 2 year old she can’t really swim, so I jump in and rescue her, but she is really heavy and I struggle to pull her up, so I manage to hold her above my head and outside the water so she isn’t drowning and is breathing air.

But because she is so heavy I am holding her above the water, but my head and body is still under the water, I understand that I am able to lift her above me but it means that I will drown, the thing that amazed me was my calm understanding of the situation, and I calmly accept this fate, then I woke up.

Any thoughts?]]>

I did this painting for my eldest daughter after she saw it in a gallery brochure 4 years ago, i copied it, but put my take on it.

It's not one of my best as i hadnt been painting with oils very long and i think it is muddy looking in places, plus you can see pencil marks in the hip area of the lady. First time i had painted a person and it was amazing how she came to life once the right colours were painted.



This is my most recently completed painting in acrylic, which is of the palace gardens in Aranjuez, Spain. My sis and her hubby love it there as he is Spanish. I painted it for their wedding present. They just got married in April. The camera lens and flash spoilt this painting and made it look wishy washy.]]>

Hey there ladies! I would like to announce that the EX-Wives club is now open!

Here are the rules:

Rule #1: The only men allowed in the EX-Wives club are the dancers

Rule #2: There is only one rule... see above

...Yes Harry, you can be a dancer...

I started this as a sounding board for the recently divorced and not so recently divorced ladies. Here you can let loose with whatever is bothering you or on your mind and know you are with people who understand what you're going thru.

OOO...oooo, me first!

In the wake of mine and a vow not to be bitter.. I recently thanked my ex for giving me the best gift he could have ever gave me. A divorce and a new outlook on myself, and life. I am a better woman without him than with him.

Ok ladies, don't be shy...]]>

Some of you here know me..others will get a sense of who I am after reading this, while those of you who already know me will get a deeper understanding of who I am in a 'nutshell'.

I have always been in a 'tug of war' with myself on this subject. I went to church every since I could remember. I was a good 'Christian' child. I did what I was told, studied my bible scriptures, I even earned my first Bible due to learning the scriptures. I believe in God and Jesus Christ, I also believe there is something more. I am native american, more spacificly Mohawk. My mother studied to be a medicine woman since I was a teenager. (lived with granparents when in my early years)
I learned some of the native prayers and rituals. This is where I learned to have a greater respect for nature, all living creatures and Mother Earth.

I have studied native herbology, and culture. I feel in my soul that this was the 'something missing' in my life.
My inner struggle remains. The good little Christian girl and the Spiritual woman that stands before me in the mirror. Is it possible to have both? I pray to God in the evenings before bed, and when something happens in my life both good and bad. I do not attend church services anymore as I feel that doing so is hypacritical. I feel that God and the Great Spirit are one and the same, and if I feel I need to speak whats in my heart and on my mind I can better do it alone with nature.

So, I guess I am a Spiritual woman who keeps the good little Christian girl close to her heart. As most of us do, I hope that it is enough.

Thank you for listening to my thoughts. It's nice to be able to just be me and share whats on my mind. Blessings to all.]]>

Who doesn't love chocolate? It is delicious and alot of studies have actually proven that it's good for you, says University of Scranton chocolate researcher Joe Vinson, Ph.D.
So if you want chocolate forget the guilt! After all you will be reaping alot of health benifits like..... "sweet" heart.

Recent Penn State University research shows chocolate is packed with heart protecting and cancer fighting antioxidants, including magnesium, polyphenols and arginine. But the biggest heart saving component is phenylethylamine, an antioxidant proven to lower LDL "bad cholesterol by 8% while rising good cholesterol HDL by 4%! These make your arteries more relaxed and blood less likely to clot.

Also eating chocolate creates a chemical reaction in the brain that mimics the feelings of romantic love, University of Arizona researchers have discovered! No wonder sweethearts have relied on it for centuries to get on another "in the mood".

Harvard research shows that people who indulge in chocolate regularly live longer than those who don't! As few as 3 chocolate bars a month lowered risk of death from all causes by 36% compared to people who never eat it! Thank the antioxidants which help deter aging by preventing cell deterioration.

Tip: go for dark chocolate instead of milk and consume 20% less calories and enjoy more health benifits. "The Swiss eat twice as much chocolate per person as Americans, and have one of the lowest obesity rates in the world!". says internal medicine specialist Jacob Teitelbaum M.D.]]>

"As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away, so he that goes down to the grave shall come up no more. He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him anymore."
—Job 7:9

"For the living know that they shall die, but the dead know not anything. Neither have they any more a reward, for the memory of them is forgotten. Also their love and their hatred and their envy is now perished. Neither have they any more a portion forever in anything that is done under the sun."
—Ecclesiastes 9:5-6

"Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom in the grave, whither thou goest."
—Ecclesiastes 9:10-11

"And when they say to you, seek those who are mediums and wizards, who whisper and mutter, should not a people seek their God? Should they seek the dead on behalf of the living?"
—Isaiah 8:19

"And no marvel, for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light."
—2 Corinthians 11:14

"And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth until the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty."
—Revelation 16:13-14

Now, let's just think about what we read and analyze it a little bit. It says that when you die, everything goes with you. Your emotions, your feelings, absolutely everything. And when you are dead, it says you never take part in anything that happens under the sun again. Just a few verses later, it says this: "Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom in the grave, whither thou goest."

Now, did you catch that? It says there is no work or device after you go to the grave. So how could you possibly come back and take part in the séance at the beckoning of a spirit medium?

Now, I know what some of you are thinking. You've seen some pretty remarkable evidence that this is more than a farce. That there really is somebody or something making contact with us. And you know something? You are absolutely right.

A lot of what goes on in the séance rooms of this world is nothing but a con game. But sometimes it's real. At times people make contact with something that isn't human, and things happen that you can't explain away with smoke and mirrors. And sometimes those voices still claim, very convincingly, to be the voices of people we knew and loved before we lost them. So what's going on? Is the Bible actually wrong, or is there more to this than first meets the eye?

What's really interesting is the fact that the Bible warns us strongly to stay away from anybody or anything that claims to communicate with the dead. For example, listen to this passage found in the Old Testament book of Isaiah (Isaiah 8:19):

"And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God?For the living to the dead?"

Another translation puts it like this: "So why are you trying to find out the future by consulting mediums and psychics? Do not listen to their whisperings and mutterings. Can the living find out the future from the dead? Why not ask your God?" In other words, you are not going to learn anything by speaking to the dead. And a much better source for information is to turn to the living God instead.

In the final analysis it's simply impossible for someone to communicate with the dead. And I know what some of you are thinking, because there's a story in the Bible that seems to prove that it can be done. But when you take a closer look at that story, you'll discover exactly why God warns us to stay away from it. In the book of First Samuel, chapter 28, there's this story about a king who went to a spiritualist for advice. "Then said Saul unto his servants, 'Seek me a familiar spirit, that I may go to her and inquire of her.' And the servant said to him, 'Behold, there is a woman that hath a familiar spirit at Endor.'"
—1 Samuel 28:7

His name was Saul, and he was in the final days of his reign as the king of Israel. Now, for some time Saul had been out of harmony with the will of God. He was leading the country on his own program, and he was failing miserably. So, in desperation, and forgetting what God had said on the subject, he put on a disguise and looked for someone who could help him contact the prophet Samuel. Samuel had been dead for some time.

Now, here's how the story plays out in 1 Samuel 28: "Then said Saul unto his servants, 'Seek me a familiar spirit, that I may go to her and inquire of her.' And the servant said to him, 'Behold, there is a woman that hath a familiar spirit at Endor.'"

Now, Saul should have known better, because even though he didn't have the book of Isaiah yet, the Books of Deuteronomy and Leviticus condemn this kind of activity in no uncertain terms. In fact, Leviticus 20:27 prescribed the death penalty for spiritualism. And Deuteronomy 18 calls it an abomination unto the Lord, and that's because God knows exactly how dangerous this really is.

But Saul went anyway, even though he had personally outlawed the practice of spiritualism sometime earlier. He asked to meet with the ghost of Samuel. And what happens next seems to prove that you can speak to the dead.

Here's what it says (1 Samuel 28:12-14):

"And when the woman saw Samuel she cried with a loud voice. And the woman spake to Saul, saying, 'Why have you deceived me? For thou art Saul.' And the king said unto her, 'Be not afraid. For what sawest thou?' And the woman said until Saul, 'I saw gods ascending out of the earth.' And he said unto her, 'What form is he of?' And she said, 'An old man cometh up and he is covered with a mantle.' Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the ground."

So let me ask you, is this an ancient version of electronic voice phenomena? Or is this like TLC's new program, "Dead Tenants," where the dead supposedly come back to visit the living? Not at all. The Bible isn't about to contradict itself, and when God says you can't speak to the dead, He means it.

Let's take another look at the story. If you pay attention to the details really carefully, you'll notice a couple of interesting things. First of all, it was the spirit medium, not Saul, who saw the apparition. The king actually had to ask for a description before he came to the conclusion that they were actually talking to the dead prophet. And to be honest, that's still the way a lot of spirit mediums work. You don't actually see anything, they do. And you are supposed to take their word for it. But what makes this story convincing is the fact that the old woman is caught off guard when the apparition tells her who is hiding under the disguise. So, obviously there's something going on in this story.

The next thing I want you to notice is that Saul is supposedly speaking to the ghost of one of God's prophets. What are the chances that God is actually going to allow that to happen when He strictly forbids that very thing? Does a spirit medium really have the power to override God and make the dead come back to life? It's not likely, and that's not what's happening in this story at all.

And finally, I want you to notice that it's only after Saul thinks it's Samuel that the Bible starts calling the apparition Samuel. And chances are, that's because it isn't Samuel at all.

So if it isn't Samuel, who is it? Well, that gets really interesting and more than a little spooky. Pay attention to the details of the story very carefully. It says that when Saul thought the ghost was Samuel, he bowed down before it. Now, if it really was Samuel, do you think Samuel would have allowed that? Not likely, because over in the Book of Revelation, when John bows down in front of an angel, the angel forbids it. "Come on, John," he says, "get up. Don't worship me. I'm not God."

But no where does it say that the supposed ghost of Samuel picks up the king and dusts him off. No where does it say that the ghost refuses that kind of homage. And that's because the spirit that appeared to the witch of Endor actually wants your worship.

You see, in the final analysis, that's what's really going on with all this interest in ghosts and hauntings and otherworld contact that's become so popular. It's entirely possible that people are contacting something. But trust me, you don't want to get involved.

The Bible says there's more than one side to the spiritual world. Not only are there good, unfallen angels who work among us, but there are also fallen angels with an agenda to pull our attention away from God. And no matter how low they have to sink, they will do whatever it takes to steer us down the wrong path.

Is it possible that the voices that speak to you, even though they sound exactly like your dead husband or wife, and even though they seem to know things that nobody else could possibly know, is it possible that you're hearing the voice of a fallen angel? Not only is it possible, but the Bible warns us that it's absolute reality."

Here is a true story about false prophets:

"Are you following the wrong Jesus?
20/04/2008

Following Another Jesus…

This testimony is true. It is the sometimes frightening story of a good friend whom I will call C. for Christian. It also concerns her one time friend whom I will call A.L., for Angel of Light. Those who know the Bible will know that the term ‘angel of light’ is not good – it refers to Satan. According to Paul’s second letter to the Corinthians, Chap 11, verse 14, Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. For certain reasons I cannot use any real names.

The story begins with C. deeply involved in spiritualism before she knew the Saviour. Her best friend A.L. was even deeper into the occult. The two friends held séances and attended a spiritualist church in England. Unfortunately there is a spiritualist church leading people astray in just about every town in England. Instead of ministers of the gospel preaching sermons, the spiritualist churches have mediums going into trances and allegedly contacting spirits of the dead, bringing messages to people in the congregation.

C. said: ‘The mediums were always bringing messages from someone’s Aunt Matilda or Aunt Mary or someone and saying things like, have you been to Scunthorpe? Everyone else seemed to get messages, but none of the mediums could ever give me messages. When they asked me if I had an Aunt Matilda or someone, I just said “No”. Even then the Lord was protecting me from the occult.’

She and her friend A.L. and others would meet in their houses for ouija board séances, in which an upturned glass would be used to spell out words from the alphabet. Said C.: ‘When A.L. had her finger on the glass, it would whiz round at an incredible speed. When she was out in the kitchen putting the kettle on, it would not move.’

A.L. had a ‘spirit guide’ called Kar Li Ling who supposedly brought her messages from beyond the grave, and A.L. told C. that she also had a spirit guide – an American Indian called White Eagle. C. could never manage to contact this entity, so she decided one day she would force something to happen. ‘I sat in my chair one day all alone and said “I’m not moving from here until you show yourself to me.” To her amazement she saw not White Eagle, but the Lord Jesus. ‘It was just a quick picture in my head of Jesus with a crown of thorns on His head. I just somehow knew that Jesus wanted me. This was so strange, because I never went to church; I never read my Bible.

‘I rang A.L. and said: “I’m trying to see White Eagle and all I see is Jesus.” I was .’

About this time, the two friends met a woman I will call A30, because she lived near that road. A30 told them she was Jesus’ daughter and she was to have 12 disciples. She believed that C. and A.L. were the first of the twelve. They were thrilled to be chosen for this ‘honour’. The number of disciples got up to about five before the group fell apart. But while this nonsense was going on, the Lord was steadily drawing C. to a knowledge of the truth.

‘A few weeks later I saw Jesus again, this time standing between two pillars, each hand touching a pillar. He was in a white robe with a belt, and had a shepherd’s crook in His hand. I was not a Christian yet, but I somehow knew then that to be saved I had to go through Jesus. He was between the pillars, blocking the way, and to get through them, I had to go through Him. Later I understood that Jesus is the door, the only way to the Father, and the only way to Heaven.’

‘I didn’t want Jesus. I fought for about three months. I was at A.L.’s house one morning and a lady was there to do our hair. They were in the bathroom washing hair and I walked to the kitchen sink to put the kettle on. I was thinking of my spirit guide, when I heard an audible voice which said: “I am your Guide.” I knew it was Jesus.

‘A.L.’s husband walked in and said : “Whatever has happened to you; your face is glowing.” I said: “Jesus just told me He is my Guide.” I think that is the moment I became a Christian.

‘In the next few weeks A.L. said that actually, she too was a Christian, and that her spirit guide was God. She always had to do everything better than anyone else. She was a powerful, dominant woman.’

The two friends began attending charismatic churches, where there were various manifestations even more unusual than anything at the spiritualist churches. C. began to meet some Christians who warned her that her friend A.L. was not right, and she should be wary of her. ‘I just wouldn’t take any notice of them,’ said C. ‘A.L. was my friend and I always looked to her.’

The pair went to conferences and gatherings in England which featured powerful speakers, many of whom are still big names on ‘Christian’ television. C. was regularly ‘slain in the spirit’ – falling backwards to the ground when she was prayed for. The two friends also heard the false teaching that bodily healing was the right of every believer and that God would heal anyone who had the faith to believe for a healing.

Eventually they met another dominant woman whom I will call P. who sometimes wore a white robe to travel around preaching. ‘One day we were at a meeting and P. was sitting in the row behind me with some of her followers. When I saw them, it was like they were skeletons, the living dead, sitting behind me, horrible. I know now that the Lord allowed me to go through all this and experience these things so that I can warn other Christians.’

They broke off the friendship with P. because A.L. and P. both wanted to be the dominant one.

As C. continued reading and studying the Bible and finding out more about her faith, she realised that many of the things she was being told were just plain wrong, and did not stack up with the Bible’s teaching. For example, she told one pastor that the practice of people being ‘slain in the spirit’ was wrong, because Jesus’ friends always fell forward in worship when they fell, and even then they were immediately told to get up again. Only His enemies at Gethsemane fell backwards. She learned that the practice was in fact hypnosis, and that the people falling were victims of hypnosis, falling into an altered state of consciousness. The young pastor would not accept what she said. After that C. would never allow anyone to touch her if they prayed for her, and was extremely careful about allowing people to pray for her at all, unless she knew them to be Christians who were not deceived by false teachings.

‘Some time later, three of us were praying for God to show us the truth about A.L. We prayed for about an hour and one of them suddenly said: “2 Corinthians.” The next lady said “Chapter 11” and I said: “Verse 14”. None of us knew what that verse said, so we looked it up. 2 Cor 11:14 says: “And no marvel, for even Satan fashions himself into an angel of light.” The other two ladies believed it. They knew the Lord was warning us that A.L. was not a true Christian, but I just refused to believe it of her. I thought she had to be a Christian, because she was always studying the Bible. Her Bible was more used, worn and marked with study notes than anyone I ever knew. She had notes on every page!’

C. received more warnings not to be involved with A.L., but still she took no notice. ‘I thought she was the best friend I ever had,’ said C. ‘I couldn’t bear the thought of losing her as a friend. I was stupid and gullible. It is so easy to be conned! Satan really does come as an angel of light. He plays on friendships and things like that.’

C. used to go to A.L.’s house to watch religious videos and A.L. would talk about them. ‘Then one day I confronted her about something - she had a melanoma on her leg, but refused to see a doctor. She believed the Lord would heal her by faith. It got worse and worse. C. told her she must get medical help, but A.L. was so at this that she threw C. out of the house and broke off their friendship. ‘We had been friends for years; I can’t tell you the pain this caused me.’

And how did A.L. finish up? The end of the story is always the most important part. A.L. had a horrible death. After two years had gone by, someone rang to say that A.L. was dying and C. should go to visit her. C. went to the house, which was filled with a dreadful stench. ‘I had not seen her for years and it was just horrible. I have never smelled anything like it. I have been in the presence of death and I know it smells terrible, but I never smelled anything as bad as A.L.’s house that day. She was like a skeleton in the bed, but A.L. still believed she would be healed. The next day I went again and asked her if she had anything to repent of. She told me no, everything she had done had been what God wanted her to do. She was convinced she was going to heaven. The following day she died.’

‘I walked out of her house and said to myself: “That is not my Jesus. She has been praying to ANOTHER Jesus. It was so terrifying. I know the moment someone dies, that is it. There are no more chances to repent.”

So great was the controlling power of A.L. that her family left her body in her house on her deathbed for three days before her body was removed.

C. is very concerned that A.L. may now be in hell. ‘The false teachers we followed say that they believe in Jesus, like the Catholics say they follow Jesus, but they are all believing in ANOTHER Jesus, and that counterfeit Jesus will not save them. The false teachers even trick people by saying Jesus is Lord, but the Jesus they refer to is a counterfeit Jesus, not the true Jesus of the Bible.’

Said C.: ‘I have seen the power of Satan and you don’t play with Him. He is real.’

A.L. was not the only friend C. had who was following another Jesus.
Another friend was a fervent Calvinist. ‘We used to pray together, and had many discussions about Calvinism. For years I tried to get through to her, but she would not accept anything I said. She firmly believed that only certain people like herself were to be saved and that everyone else was destined by God for hell, and there was nothing they could do to change their horrible destiny. This was not the God I knew, the Father of Jesus, the God of mercy who does not want ANY to perish, but gives all a chance to be saved by putting their trust in His Son Jesus. The Calvinist god had cruelly created people especially to send them to hell and there was nothing they could do about it!

‘We argued for years and one day my Calvinist friend said that if she had to take the mark of the beast (Rev 13), she would not be afraid to take it, because she was one of the elect, so she would be safe. The Bible says that anyone who takes the mark is condemned! I told her she was trusting in ANOTHER Jesus, not the true Jesus of the Bible.

‘Now if I go to any church, I ask the pastor, and the people, what they believe. At one church thought to be a good one, I was told by the leader that we are in the 1000 year Millennium reign of Christ (Rev 20). He thought the 1000 years, repeated six times in Rev 20, just meant “a long time”. He just doesn’t understand the Bible, that there will be a literal 1000 years in which Christ will rule this earth with a rod of iron.

‘Many churches now believe that Christians are ‘the new Israel’, that God is finished with the nation of Israel and the Jewish people, and that the Christian church has replaced Israel. This is known as ‘replacement theology’ and is another lie of Satan. In the Book of Revelation 3:9 Jesus warns about people who claim to be Jews and are not! He says they lie! He warns that He will make them of the ‘synogogue of Satan’! Beware of believing a lie - that we are the new Israel and have replaced God’s ancient people. God has made everlasting covenants with the physical descendents of Abraham, and He will fulfil every promise.’

And what about you, dear reader? Do you know the Saviour, the true Saviour, the true Jesus? Or are you following some demon in a spiritualist church? Or perhaps you are following ANOTHER Jesus, a counterfeit, an angel of light, in a false ‘Christian’ church? The angel of light will deceive you to your dying day, and then laugh as you descend into hell’s flames.

There is ANOTHER Jesus, ANOTHER gospel, and ANOTHER spirit which the apostle Paul warns of in 2 Corinthians 11:4: ‘For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.’ Paul is criticising these people, who were uncritically accepting false teachers. We have to be discerning, especially since the Lord Jesus warned of deception in the end times. The deceivers are here.

The true Jesus said: ‘Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.’ (Gospel of John 3:3) And: ‘Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.’ (John 3:5) ‘Water’ here refers to the Word of God, the Bible, which we must believe to be saved. The Word is like water washing us clean.

If you have never been born again of the Holy Spirit, you are not trusting the true Jesus; you are not saved. You are following ANOTHER Jesus, believing ANOTHER gospel, receiving ANOTHER spirit. You may be trusting in your church membership, or the fact that you were christened as a baby, or that you have done what you think are good works. None of these will save anyone. Only faith in Jesus Christ and His shed blood on the cross of Calvary will save you from hell. Put your trust in Him today and ask the true Jesus to forgive your sins.

My advice to every reader is: read the Bible for yourself. Dig in and find the truth for yourself. Ask the Lord to help you understand and to find Christian fellowship and to save you from false friends like A.L. The Bible is our lighthouse in this dark world. The Lord will help you. He loves you.

One last word from C. ‘We are living in the last days. I know that. We are not taking the Bible seriously enough. It is so late. There is so little time left. I try to keep short accounts and live every day as if Jesus might return that day. I try to keep everything in my life in good order so that if the Lord comes back, there is nothing left behind for others to sort out. Unfortunately, the churches are so bad now that hardly any of them preach the truth. People have got to wake up and get ready to meet the Lord Jesus. I hope that anyone reading this will learn from my stupid mistakes and have the courage to obey what the Lord is telling them, regardless of the cost. In the end we face the judgement seat of Christ on our own.’"

Eyepriestess says:

I must say, i was pretty taken aback when i read these passages in the Bible, which i have searched for over the past few months, and then i found the sites above and all my answers where in one place. But are they are correct analysis of the Bible passages?

As far as contacting the dead goes, I did come to understand quite some time ago that what i experienced with the ouija board was not contact from a 'once human spirit', but an evil force, which i believe was a demon.

I wonder what others think about the above, it would be interesting to discuss it. I know some poeple are adament that they are in contact with spirits of their loved ones. I know one person who sees the ghost of a spirit child who seems innocent and in need of help. I do believe her, but i wonder what would convince her that what she is seeing is not the spirit of a dead child.]]>
"As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away, so he that goes down to the grave shall come up no more. He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him anymore."
—Job 7:9

"For the living know that they shall die, but the dead know not anything. Neither have they any more a reward, for the memory of them is forgotten. Also their love and their hatred and their envy is now perished. Neither have they any more a portion forever in anything that is done under the sun."
—Ecclesiastes 9:5-6

"Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom in the grave, whither thou goest."
—Ecclesiastes 9:10-11

"And when they say to you, seek those who are mediums and wizards, who whisper and mutter, should not a people seek their God? Should they seek the dead on behalf of the living?"
—Isaiah 8:19

"And no marvel, for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light."
—2 Corinthians 11:14

"And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth until the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty."
—Revelation 16:13-14

Now, let's just think about what we read and analyze it a little bit. It says that when you die, everything goes with you. Your emotions, your feelings, absolutely everything. And when you are dead, it says you never take part in anything that happens under the sun again. Just a few verses later, it says this: "Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom in the grave, whither thou goest."

Now, did you catch that? It says there is no work or device after you go to the grave. So how could you possibly come back and take part in the séance at the beckoning of a spirit medium?

Now, I know what some of you are thinking. You've seen some pretty remarkable evidence that this is more than a farce. That there really is somebody or something making contact with us. And you know something? You are absolutely right.

A lot of what goes on in the séance rooms of this world is nothing but a con game. But sometimes it's real. At times people make contact with something that isn't human, and things happen that you can't explain away with smoke and mirrors. And sometimes those voices still claim, very convincingly, to be the voices of people we knew and loved before we lost them. So what's going on? Is the Bible actually wrong, or is there more to this than first meets the eye?

What's really interesting is the fact that the Bible warns us strongly to stay away from anybody or anything that claims to communicate with the dead. For example, listen to this passage found in the Old Testament book of Isaiah (Isaiah 8:19):

"And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God?For the living to the dead?"

Another translation puts it like this: "So why are you trying to find out the future by consulting mediums and psychics? Do not listen to their whisperings and mutterings. Can the living find out the future from the dead? Why not ask your God?" In other words, you are not going to learn anything by speaking to the dead. And a much better source for information is to turn to the living God instead.

In the final analysis it's simply impossible for someone to communicate with the dead. And I know what some of you are thinking, because there's a story in the Bible that seems to prove that it can be done. But when you take a closer look at that story, you'll discover exactly why God warns us to stay away from it. In the book of First Samuel, chapter 28, there's this story about a king who went to a spiritualist for advice. "Then said Saul unto his servants, 'Seek me a familiar spirit, that I may go to her and inquire of her.' And the servant said to him, 'Behold, there is a woman that hath a familiar spirit at Endor.'"
—1 Samuel 28:7

His name was Saul, and he was in the final days of his reign as the king of Israel. Now, for some time Saul had been out of harmony with the will of God. He was leading the country on his own program, and he was failing miserably. So, in desperation, and forgetting what God had said on the subject, he put on a disguise and looked for someone who could help him contact the prophet Samuel. Samuel had been dead for some time.

Now, here's how the story plays out in 1 Samuel 28: "Then said Saul unto his servants, 'Seek me a familiar spirit, that I may go to her and inquire of her.' And the servant said to him, 'Behold, there is a woman that hath a familiar spirit at Endor.'"

Now, Saul should have known better, because even though he didn't have the book of Isaiah yet, the Books of Deuteronomy and Leviticus condemn this kind of activity in no uncertain terms. In fact, Leviticus 20:27 prescribed the death penalty for spiritualism. And Deuteronomy 18 calls it an abomination unto the Lord, and that's because God knows exactly how dangerous this really is.

But Saul went anyway, even though he had personally outlawed the practice of spiritualism sometime earlier. He asked to meet with the ghost of Samuel. And what happens next seems to prove that you can speak to the dead.

Here's what it says (1 Samuel 28:12-14):

"And when the woman saw Samuel she cried with a loud voice. And the woman spake to Saul, saying, 'Why have you deceived me? For thou art Saul.' And the king said unto her, 'Be not afraid. For what sawest thou?' And the woman said until Saul, 'I saw gods ascending out of the earth.' And he said unto her, 'What form is he of?' And she said, 'An old man cometh up and he is covered with a mantle.' Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the ground."

So let me ask you, is this an ancient version of electronic voice phenomena? Or is this like TLC's new program, "Dead Tenants," where the dead supposedly come back to visit the living? Not at all. The Bible isn't about to contradict itself, and when God says you can't speak to the dead, He means it.

Let's take another look at the story. If you pay attention to the details really carefully, you'll notice a couple of interesting things. First of all, it was the spirit medium, not Saul, who saw the apparition. The king actually had to ask for a description before he came to the conclusion that they were actually talking to the dead prophet. And to be honest, that's still the way a lot of spirit mediums work. You don't actually see anything, they do. And you are supposed to take their word for it. But what makes this story convincing is the fact that the old woman is caught off guard when the apparition tells her who is hiding under the disguise. So, obviously there's something going on in this story.

The next thing I want you to notice is that Saul is supposedly speaking to the ghost of one of God's prophets. What are the chances that God is actually going to allow that to happen when He strictly forbids that very thing? Does a spirit medium really have the power to override God and make the dead come back to life? It's not likely, and that's not what's happening in this story at all.

And finally, I want you to notice that it's only after Saul thinks it's Samuel that the Bible starts calling the apparition Samuel. And chances are, that's because it isn't Samuel at all.

So if it isn't Samuel, who is it? Well, that gets really interesting and more than a little spooky. Pay attention to the details of the story very carefully. It says that when Saul thought the ghost was Samuel, he bowed down before it. Now, if it really was Samuel, do you think Samuel would have allowed that? Not likely, because over in the Book of Revelation, when John bows down in front of an angel, the angel forbids it. "Come on, John," he says, "get up. Don't worship me. I'm not God."

But no where does it say that the supposed ghost of Samuel picks up the king and dusts him off. No where does it say that the ghost refuses that kind of homage. And that's because the spirit that appeared to the witch of Endor actually wants your worship.

You see, in the final analysis, that's what's really going on with all this interest in ghosts and hauntings and otherworld contact that's become so popular. It's entirely possible that people are contacting something. But trust me, you don't want to get involved.

The Bible says there's more than one side to the spiritual world. Not only are there good, unfallen angels who work among us, but there are also fallen angels with an agenda to pull our attention away from God. And no matter how low they have to sink, they will do whatever it takes to steer us down the wrong path.

Is it possible that the voices that speak to you, even though they sound exactly like your dead husband or wife, and even though they seem to know things that nobody else could possibly know, is it possible that you're hearing the voice of a fallen angel? Not only is it possible, but the Bible warns us that it's absolute reality."

Here is a true story about false prophets:

"Are you following the wrong Jesus?

Following Another Jesus…

This testimony is true. It is the sometimes frightening story of a good friend whom I will call C. for Christian. It also concerns her one time friend whom I will call A.L., for Angel of Light. Those who know the Bible will know that the term ‘angel of light’ is not good – it refers to Satan. According to Paul’s second letter to the Corinthians, Chap 11, verse 14, Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. For certain reasons I cannot use any real names.

The story begins with C. deeply involved in spiritualism before she knew the Saviour. Her best friend A.L. was even deeper into the occult. The two friends held séances and attended a spiritualist church in England. Unfortunately there is a spiritualist church leading people astray in just about every town in England. Instead of ministers of the gospel preaching sermons, the spiritualist churches have mediums going into trances and allegedly contacting spirits of the dead, bringing messages to people in the congregation.

C. said: ‘The mediums were always bringing messages from someone’s Aunt Matilda or Aunt Mary or someone and saying things like, have you been to Scunthorpe? Everyone else seemed to get messages, but none of the mediums could ever give me messages. When they asked me if I had an Aunt Matilda or someone, I just said “No”. Even then the Lord was protecting me from the occult.’

She and her friend A.L. and others would meet in their houses for ouija board séances, in which an upturned glass would be used to spell out words from the alphabet. Said C.: ‘When A.L. had her finger on the glass, it would whiz round at an incredible speed. When she was out in the kitchen putting the kettle on, it would not move.’

A.L. had a ‘spirit guide’ called Kar Li Ling who supposedly brought her messages from beyond the grave, and A.L. told C. that she also had a spirit guide – an American Indian called White Eagle. C. could never manage to contact this entity, so she decided one day she would force something to happen. ‘I sat in my chair one day all alone and said “I’m not moving from here until you show yourself to me.” To her amazement she saw not White Eagle, but the Lord Jesus. ‘It was just a quick picture in my head of Jesus with a crown of thorns on His head. I just somehow knew that Jesus wanted me. This was so strange, because I never went to church; I never read my Bible.

‘I rang A.L. and said: “I’m trying to see White Eagle and all I see is Jesus.” I was .’

About this time, the two friends met a woman I will call A30, because she lived near that road. A30 told them she was Jesus’ daughter and she was to have 12 disciples. She believed that C. and A.L. were the first of the twelve. They were thrilled to be chosen for this ‘honour’. The number of disciples got up to about five before the group fell apart. But while this nonsense was going on, the Lord was steadily drawing C. to a knowledge of the truth.

‘A few weeks later I saw Jesus again, this time standing between two pillars, each hand touching a pillar. He was in a white robe with a belt, and had a shepherd’s crook in His hand. I was not a Christian yet, but I somehow knew then that to be saved I had to go through Jesus. He was between the pillars, blocking the way, and to get through them, I had to go through Him. Later I understood that Jesus is the door, the only way to the Father, and the only way to Heaven.’

‘I didn’t want Jesus. I fought for about three months. I was at A.L.’s house one morning and a lady was there to do our hair. They were in the bathroom washing hair and I walked to the kitchen sink to put the kettle on. I was thinking of my spirit guide, when I heard an audible voice which said: “I am your Guide.” I knew it was Jesus.

‘A.L.’s husband walked in and said : “Whatever has happened to you; your face is glowing.” I said: “Jesus just told me He is my Guide.” I think that is the moment I became a Christian.

The two friends also heard the false teaching that bodily healing was the right of every believer and that God would heal anyone who had the faith to believe for a healing.

Eventually they met another dominant woman whom I will call P. who sometimes wore a white robe to travel around preaching. ‘One day we were at a meeting and P. was sitting in the row behind me with some of her followers. When I saw them, it was like they were skeletons, the living dead, sitting behind me, horrible. I know now that the Lord allowed me to go through all this and experience these things so that I can warn other Christians.’

They broke off the friendship with P. because A.L. and P. both wanted to be the dominant one.

As C. continued reading and studying the Bible and finding out more about her faith, she realised that many of the things she was being told were just plain wrong, and did not stack up with the Bible’s teaching.

She told me no, everything she had done had been what God wanted her to do. She was convinced she was going to heaven. The following day she died.’

‘I walked out of her house and said to myself: “That is not my Jesus. She has been praying to ANOTHER Jesus. It was so terrifying. I know the moment someone dies, that is it. There are no more chances to repent.”

So great was the controlling power of A.L. that her family left her body in her house on her deathbed for three days before her body was removed.

C. is very concerned that A.L. may now be in hell. ‘The false teachers we followed say that they believe in Jesus, like the Catholics say they follow Jesus, but they are all believing in ANOTHER Jesus, and that counterfeit Jesus will not save them. The false teachers even trick people by saying Jesus is Lord, but the Jesus they refer to is a counterfeit Jesus, not the true Jesus of the Bible.’

Said C.: ‘I have seen the power of Satan and you don’t play with Him. He is real.’

A.L. was not the only friend C. had who was following another Jesus.
Another friend was a fervent Calvinist. ‘We used to pray together, and had many discussions about Calvinism. For years I tried to get through to her, but she would not accept anything I said. She firmly believed that only certain people like herself were to be saved and that everyone else was destined by God for hell, and there was nothing they could do to change their horrible destiny. This was not the God I knew, the Father of Jesus, the God of mercy who does not want ANY to perish, but gives all a chance to be saved by putting their trust in His Son Jesus. The Calvinist god had cruelly created people especially to send them to hell and there was nothing they could do about it!

‘We argued for years and one day my Calvinist friend said that if she had to take the mark of the beast (Rev 13), she would not be afraid to take it, because she was one of the elect, so she would be safe. The Bible says that anyone who takes the mark is condemned! I told her she was trusting in ANOTHER Jesus, not the true Jesus of the Bible.

‘Now if I go to any church, I ask the pastor, and the people, what they believe. At one church thought to be a good one, I was told by the leader that we are in the 1000 year Millennium reign of Christ (Rev 20). He thought the 1000 years, repeated six times in Rev 20, just meant “a long time”. He just doesn’t understand the Bible, that there will be a literal 1000 years in which Christ will rule this earth with a rod of iron.

‘Many churches now believe that Christians are ‘the new Israel’, that God is finished with the nation of Israel and the Jewish people, and that the Christian church has replaced Israel. This is known as ‘replacement theology’ and is another lie of Satan. In the Book of Revelation 3:9 Jesus warns about people who claim to be Jews and are not! He says they lie! He warns that He will make them of the ‘synogogue of Satan’! Beware of believing a lie - that we are the new Israel and have replaced God’s ancient people. God has made everlasting covenants with the physical descendents of Abraham, and He will fulfil every promise.’

And what about you, dear reader? Do you know the Saviour, the true Saviour, the true Jesus? Or are you following some demon in a spiritualist church? Or perhaps you are following ANOTHER Jesus, a counterfeit, an angel of light, in a false ‘Christian’ church? The angel of light will deceive you to your dying day, and then laugh as you descend into hell’s flames.

There is ANOTHER Jesus, ANOTHER gospel, and ANOTHER spirit which the apostle Paul warns of in 2 Corinthians 11:4: ‘For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.’ Paul is criticising these people, who were uncritically accepting false teachers. We have to be discerning, especially since the Lord Jesus warned of deception in the end times. The deceivers are here.

The true Jesus said: ‘Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.’ (Gospel of John 3:3) And: ‘Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.’ (John 3:5) ‘Water’ here refers to the Word of God, the Bible, which we must believe to be saved. The Word is like water washing us clean.

If you have never been born again of the Holy Spirit, you are not trusting the true Jesus; you are not saved. You are following ANOTHER Jesus, believing ANOTHER gospel, receiving ANOTHER spirit. You may be trusting in your church membership, or the fact that you were christened as a baby, or that you have done what you think are good works. None of these will save anyone. Only faith in Jesus Christ and His shed blood on the cross of Calvary will save you from hell. Put your trust in Him today and ask the true Jesus to forgive your sins.

My advice to every reader is: read the Bible for yourself. Dig in and find the truth for yourself. Ask the Lord to help you understand and to find Christian fellowship and to save you from false friends like A.L. The Bible is our lighthouse in this dark world. The Lord will help you. He loves you.

One last word from C. ‘We are living in the last days. I know that. We are not taking the Bible seriously enough. It is so late. There is so little time left. I try to keep short accounts and live every day as if Jesus might return that day. I try to keep everything in my life in good order so that if the Lord comes back, there is nothing left behind for others to sort out. Unfortunately, the churches are so bad now that hardly any of them preach the truth. People have got to wake up and get ready to meet the Lord Jesus. I hope that anyone reading this will learn from my stupid mistakes and have the courage to obey what the Lord is telling them, regardless of the cost. In the end we face the judgement seat of Christ on our own.’"

I must say, i was pretty taken aback when i read these passages in the Bible, which i have searched for over the past few months, and then i found the sites above and all my answers where in one place. But are they are correct analysis of the Bible passages?

As far as contacting the dead goes, I did come to understand quite some time ago that what i experienced with the ouija board was not contact from a 'once human spirit', but an evil force, which i believe was a demon.

I wonder what others think about the above, it would be interesting to discuss it. I know some poeple are adament that they are in contact with spirits of their loved ones. I know one person who sees the ghost of a spirit child who seems innocent and in need of help. I do believe her, but i wonder what would convince her that what she is seeing is not the spirit of a dead child.]]> http://www.worldmysteriesandtrueghosttales.com/community/thread-209.html Sat, 30 Jan 2010 16:44:01 -0600 eyepriestess http://www.worldmysteriesandtrueghosttales.com/community/thread-209.html http://www.characters-environments.com/a...icseen#new

Protection for you and your home:
If you don't have a gun, here's a more humane way to wreck someone's evil plans for you.

Wasp Spray:
When asked by a concerned person about using pepper spray, the local police department recommended that she get a can of wasp spray instead.

The wasp spray, they told her, can shoot up to twenty feet away and is more accurate, while with the pepper spray, they have to get too close and could overpower you. The wasp spray temporarily blinds an attacker until they get to the hospital for an antidote.

Wasp AND Hornet Spray:
A teacher in the art of self-defense has told his students for decades to keep a can of wasp and hornet spray near their door or bed. "This is better than anything I can teach them." It is inexpensive, easy to find, and more effective than mace or pepper spray. The cans typically shoot 20 to 30 feet; so if someone tries to break into your home, "spray the culprit in the eyes".

"That's going to give you a chance to call the police; maybe get out." Maybe even save your life. Please share this with all the people in your life.]]> http://www.characters-environments.com/a...icseen#new

Do you realise that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we're kids? If you're less than 10 years old, you're so excited about ageing that you think in fractions.

'How old are you?' 'I'm four and a half!' You're never thirty-six and a half. You're four and a half, going on five! That's the key

You get into your teens, now they can't hold you back. You jump to the next number, or even a few ahead.

'How old are you?' 'I'm gonna be 16!' You could be 13, but hey, you're gonna be 16! And then the greatest day of your life .... . You become 21. Even the words sound like a ceremony. YOU BECOME 21. YESSSS!!!

But then you turn 30. Oooohh, what happened there? Makes you sound like bad milk! He TURNED; we had to throw him out. There's no fun now, you're Just a sour-dumpling. What's wrong? What's changed?

You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, then you're PUSHING 40.... Whoa! Put on the brakes, it's all slipping away. Before you know it, you REACH 50 and your dreams are gone.

But wait!!! You MAKE it to 60. You didn't think you would!

So you BECOME 21, TURN 30, PUSH 40, REACH 50 and MAKE it to 60.

You've built up so much speed that you HIT 70! After that it's a day-by-day thing; you HIT Wednesday!

You get into your 80's and every day is a complete cycle; you HIT lunch; you TURN 4:30 ; you REACH bedtime. And it doesn't end there Into the 90s, you start going backwards; 'I Was JUST 92.'

Then a strange thing happens. If you make it over 100, you become a little kid again. 'I'm 100 and a half!'
May you all make it to a healthy 100 and a half!!]]>

on the popular TV show, 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.'

Evans, a 32-year-old wife and mother of two, got stuck on the first question
and proceeded to make what fans of the show are dubbing 'the absolute worst use
of lifelines ever.' After being introduced to the show's host
Meredith Vieira, Evans was posed with a typically easy initial $100 question.

The question was: 'Which of the following is the largest?'

A) A Peanut
B) An Elephant
C) The Moon
D) Hey, who you calling large?

Immediately Mrs. Evans was struck with an all consuming panic as she did not
readily know the answer. 'Hmm, oh boy, that's a toughie,' said Evans,
as Vieira did her level best to hide her disbelief.
'I mean, I'm sure I've heard of some of these things before,
but I have no idea how large they would be.'

Evans made the decision to use the first of her three lifelines, the 50/50.
Answers A and D were removed, leaving her to decide which was
bigger, an elephant or the moon. However, faced with an incredibly
easy question, Evans still remained unsure.

'Oh! It removed the two I was leaning towards!' exclaimed Evans.
'Darn. I think I better phone a friend.'
Mrs. Evans asked to be connected with her friend
Betsy, who is an office assistant.

'Hi Betsy! How are you? This is Kathy! I'm on TV!' said Evans,
wasting the first seven seconds of her call.
'Ok, I got an important question. Which of the following is the largest?
B, an elephant, or C, the moon. 15 seconds hun.'
Betsy quickly replied that the answer was C, the moon.
Evans proceeded to argue with her friend for the remaining ten seconds.
'Betsy, are you sure?' said Evans. 'How sure are you? Duh, that can't be it.'

To everyone's astonishment, the moronic Evans declined to take her friend's
advice. 'I just don't know if I can trust Betsy. She's not all that bright.
So I think I'd like to ask the audience,' said Evans.

Asked to vote on the correct answer, the audience returned 98% in favor of
answer C, 'The Moon.' Having used up all her lifelines,
Evans then made the dumbest choice of her life.

'Wow, seems like everybody is against what I'm thinking,' said the
too-stupid-to-live Evans. 'But you know, sometimes you just got to go with
your gut. So, let's see... I'm going to have to go with B, an elephant. Final answer.'

Evans sat before the dumbfounded audience, the only one waiting with bated breath -
and was told that she was wrong, and that the answer was in fact, C, 'The Moon.'

What Pat Robinson said about the Haitians is unforgivable and I want you to know that his words are not been listened to, i know there is a massive outrage over it!

This is the news coverage of Pat Robinsons remarks:

"Controversial charismatic Pat Robertson has put his foot in his mouth with yet another post-disaster remark – this time regarding quake-hit Haiti.

While hosting “The 700 Club” on the Christian Broadcasting Network Wednesday, Robertson said the 7.0-magnitude quake that struck Haiti a day earlier was the consequence of the curse that had befallen the country’s people after its founding fathers made a “pact to the Devil” in exchange for Haiti’s independence from France.

“Ever since they have been cursed by one thing after the other, desperately poor,” Robertson said.

He noted how Haiti shares the Island of Hispaniola with the Dominican Republic and how the latter is “prosperous, healthy, full of resorts” while Haiti is “in desperate poverty”.

“Same island,” he emphasised.

Robertson based his comment on a well-known folk tale among Haitians that not all citizens believe.

Robertson’s latest remark – coming as television screens are filled with images of bloody survivors and dead bodies stacked on streets – hit a sensitive nerve with secular commentators as well as conservative evangelical leaders.

Pastor Robert Jeffress of First Baptist Church of Dallas called Robertson arrogant during an interview on ABC’s “Good Morning America” Thursday.

“It is absolute arrogance to try to interpret any of God's actions as a judgment against this person or that person,” the Southern Baptist minister said. “ Our duty as Christians is to try to help these people, pray for these people and to help them."

Similarly, Dr R Albert Mohler Jr, president of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, responded to Robertson’s “embarrassing” remarks by highlighting the theological arrogance matched to ignorance”.

In a commentary posted Thursday, Mohler acknowledged that Haiti has a well-known history of the occult, voodoo, and sorcery. He also said he agrees that God does and will judge the nations and has sovereign power over everything."
