On this National Day of Prayer, it is a good time to pray for America. Not just America but all nations. Thank you lord that no one on earth can take away prayer. Prayer is a forever freedom.
My prayer for today:
US Flag at a south Orange County beach.
God bless America, heal our land. Help our country stand for freedom, liberty, and under your ten commandments and constitutional American rights. God bless and heal all nations, people, animals, and seas. God bless and come to the aid of all that are hurting from many things around the world. God help presecuted Christians, protect and save all that are presecuted. Lord help us through this time, this time that is written prophetically in your word.
Thank you for this gorgeous sunny and warm day in Orange County, California! Thank you for the beautiful flowers and singing birds and being always with us through every good or difficult time.
A little more serious bible study here, and quite possibly controversial to many. Still, a good subject worth studying!
Delivered: To bring or transport to the proper place or recipient; distribute. To surrender (someone or something) to another; hand over. To be delivered: To set free, as from misery, peril, or evil
Can a Christian who is forgiven and born again need deliverance? The answer is Yes, if this Christian is also experiencing troublesome thoughts, nightmares, illness that can be from sin or past sin, if there is any unforgiveness or sin, if there is past or generational wrong doing or occult practice, or even hurts that alter our views -such as feeling as a victim. There are many reasons why a Christian can experience troublesome spiritual warfare from - YES demons. I know people don't like to talk about them, but I am okay about it.
1 or many demons can afflict, harass, or yes even enter a Christian. How can it enter a Christian though who is forgiven?
If like mentioned above there is any sin or past unforgiven sin or persons, or if there is any occult practice present or past or generational sins... these spiritual realm doors ALLOW a demon or more demons to enter or oppress a person -a non believer or Christian believer as well.
So stead fast, stand firm. Forgive and care. And have a blessed week and a blessed life too...

Collosians 3:8,12-13 8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. 12 Put
on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies,
kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.” Colossians 3:13KJV
Matthew 6:14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you Matthew 6:15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Fatherforgive your trespasses.
Collosians 1:21 KJV 21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled 22 In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight
Armor of God. Spiritual Warfare. Ephesians 6:10-18
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armourofGod, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. ... I recommend to Listen to audio of Ephesians 6
Respectively derived from an OC Deliverance Ministry site: "The Greek word “Daimonizomai” translated “demon-possessed” in scripture is best described, as “to have a demon, to be demonized or be under the control of a demon.” In my experience, demon possession or being under control of a demon can be on a sliding scale of say, 1 to 10. Number one, being the least control, to number 10 being absolute control. I believe a more accurate definition of demon possession is a person who is to various degrees, occupied and controlled by evil spirits.
The bible has different examples of demon possession; the demoniac who had a legion of demons (a legion of Roman soldiers at full strength was around 10,000 soldiers) was probably a 10 on the scale of possession as opposed to a demon-possessed man who was mute or deaf (obviously a lesser number on the scale). It is clear in scriptures, mankind has the capacity to be indwelled by another spirit.
1. We receive the Holy Spirit in us when we are born again (1 John 4:13, John 3:1-8).
2. We can be filled with the Spirit to the point of appearing drunk (Acts 2:1-3, 15).
3. An evil spirit may enter into a person, such as Satan entered Judas (Luke 22:2-4, John 13:27). 4. An evil spirit entered Saul (1 Sam. 16:14 &23)."

I recently learned of murders of 3 homeless people in Orange County, CA. Serial killer murders. This is sad to hear. Any murder is wrong and it is difficult to accept that this occurs, that life is not regarded as the gift that it is, and to take it from someone is not acceptable. It saddens me and reminds me that this is not our final home. Earth in all it's beauty has much sadness, destruction, and turmoil.
God bless the families affected by such indecent and hurtful acts, god bless all of humanity poor, ill, or hurting. God forgive and help those compelled to act out in crimes such as this to save all lives and remind us all of the beauty in your love, that in hard times, one day we will have the opportunity to live eternally with you. In Christ. Amen.
I dreamt months ago... 'World Series 1985"? Then I woke up. Why did I dream this? The 1985 World Series began on October 19 till October 27 Then I saw the information on google about the major earthquake that hit in 1989. October 17, 1989 World Series earthquake, which led me to think maybe... an earthquake for California was coming again in October? I guessed some dates (search my earthquake blogs by clicking the linked categories below, or earthquake in the search box).
Well, maybe it wasn't days or times I was wondering about. Though, it just so happens that Indonesia has been having some larger earthquakes again, starting in October, I believe actually since October 21, 2010, but a major 7.7 magnitude earthquake on my birthday October 25th, as well as a tsunami and volcanic eruption.
Last night, I dreamt of my angel. The first dream I can remember of an angel. I woke up and knew I was not alone. When I fell back to sleep I dreamt of different circumstances where I felt as a 'third person', like it was me, yet I was someone else, yeah know? Well, I dreamt of a woman with children needing help, from another country, boarding a plane, it seemed a man was left behind. I felt I should pray when I remembered my dream this morning. Maybe it was a real circumstance somewhere?
I didn't hear of this Indonesia earthquake situation until today, and some how I think my dreams from earlier this year and now feel like warnings, premonitions and more so reasons to pray, pray, pray always.

Important world news... Let us hope this is not the end of our blue ocean as we know it, and I hope this is not the prophecy but is it? This may be a bit of a downer from the "good stuff" but it also has a joyful message of freedom, saved in Jesus! Hallelujah and all that good stuff jazz! Amen?! Amen!

NEW ORLEANS – BP and the Obama administration face mounting complaints that they are ignoring foreign offers of equipment and making little use of the fishing boats and volunteers available to help clean up what may now be the biggest spill ever in the Gulf of Mexico.
The Coast Guard said there have been 107 offers of help from 44 nations, ranging from technical advice to skimmer boats and booms. But many of those offers are weeks old, and only a small number have been accepted. The vast majority are still under review, according to a list kept by the State Department. ...Read more: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_gulf_oil_spill
Scripture study Revelation 16 and Acts 2- Note, this is for biblical last days reference purposes, not for exclaiming the oil spill situation, that is currently taking place, is for certain prophecy.
Revelation 16 (NLT)
1 Then I heard a mighty voice from the Temple say to the seven angels, “Go your ways and pour out on the earth the seven bowls containing God’s wrath.” 2 So the first angel left the Temple and poured out his bowl on the earth, and horrible, malignant sores broke out on everyone who had the mark of the beast and who worshiped his statue.
3 Then the second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it became like the blood of a corpse. And everything in the sea died.
4Then the third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs, and they became blood. 5 And I heard the angel who had authority over all water saying,
“You are just, O Holy One, who is and who always was,
because you have sent these judgments. 6 Since they shed the blood
of your holy people and your prophets,
you have given them blood to drink.
It is their just reward.” 7 And I heard a voice from the altar,[a] saying,
“Yes, O Lord God, the Almighty,
your judgments are true and just.” 8Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, causing it to scorch everyone with its fire. 9 Everyone was burned by this blast of heat, and they cursed the name of God, who had control over all these plagues. They did not repent of their sins and turn to God and give him glory. 10Then the fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom was plunged into darkness. His subjects ground their teeth in anguish, 11 and they cursed the God of heaven for their pains and sores. But they did not repent of their evil deeds and turn to God. 12 Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great Euphrates River, and it dried up so that the kings from the east could march their armies toward the west without hindrance. 13 And I saw three evil[b] spirits that looked like frogs leap from the mouths of the dragon, the beast, and the false prophet. 14 They are demonic spirits who work miracles and go out to all the rulers of the world to gather them for battle against the Lord on that great judgment day of God the Almighty. 15“Look, I will come as unexpectedly as a thief! Blessed are all who are watching for me, who keep their clothing ready so they will not have to walk around naked and ashamed.” 16 And the demonic spirits gathered all the rulers and their armies to a place with the Hebrew name Armageddon.[c] 17 Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air. And a mighty shout came from the throne in the Temple, saying, “It is finished!” 18 Then the thunder crashed and rolled, and lightning flashed. And a great earthquake struck—the worst since people were placed on the earth. 19 The great city of Babylon split into three sections, and the cities of many nations fell into heaps of rubble. So God remembered all of Babylon’s sins, and he made her drink the cup that was filled with the wine of his fierce wrath. 20And every island disappeared, and all the mountains were leveled. 21There was a terrible hailstorm, and hailstones weighing seventy-five pounds[d] fell from the sky onto the people below. They cursed God because of the terrible plague of the hailstorm.
------------------------------------------------------------------------ Acts 2:17-21 (New Living Translation)
17 ‘In the last days,’ God says,
‘I will pour out my Spirit upon all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy.
Your young men will see visions,
and your old men will dream dreams. 18 In those days I will pour out my Spirit
even on my servants—men and women alike—
and they will prophesy. 19And I will cause wonders in the heavens above
and signs on the earth below—
blood and fire and clouds of smoke.
20 The sun will become dark,
and the moon will turn blood red
before that great and glorious day of the Lord arrives.
21 But everyone who calls on the name of the Lord
will be saved.’[a]

On an end note, The most important thing to remember, Jesus IS coming soon, not to worry, pray always for all things and share the good news... Acts 2:39-41 (NIV)
39The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call." 40With many other words he warned them; and he pleaded with them, "Save yourselves from this corrupt generation." 41Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.
God be with you and bless you in the name of Jesus!
July 2nd: after posting this blog I heard some debate that this is not prophecy as described, I don't think it is a ful-filled prophecy myself and I am not saying it is so... only, maybe. I wanted to share my response, again God's blessings with you.
My concern is what God is doing, allowing, and our need to pray, and not worry or debate.
I believe God can allow us to fall from our actions which then is his say so, his doing or allowance for our sinful ways, and possibly God's wrath as he is just to allow for those that turn against him or do not repent from wickedness. On a side note, I think Christians seem to know, even though we don't like to discuss it much, demons are at work and stronger, it seems- at least I feel personally. In Revelations 16:3 We don't know that the "flask poured out" by the second angel isn't the allowance of the oil to come out as it did. I can see why some may dismiss this as prophecy, but I think we may be watching prophecy "in the works".
It is alright to me if someone disagrees with it being prophecies, for what I think- it is more of a warning of the time frame we are in. And the dreams I have about things before they happen correlate with the last days. (Which is at times, hard for me to share this with others.)
"In the Last Days" we hear, and I feel his warning spiritually. Maybe it's sounds strange to some, but, it is personal, that I feel what I am saying. I can't say IT IS this now, but I think it COULD be the start, but only depending on the time frame of what we see and how everything pans out over time? I'm not going to debate what I haven't seen fulfilled.
We don't see everything at once, just like "everything in all the oceans died". This could be years and years so other things could also then be seen as it too unfolds. Basically, how do we see it and when? The vision based on 1st, and 2nd angel etc. The first is talking about those with the mark of the beast had plague and sores and worshiped his statue- that could be many people who worship Satan or? and could have diseases? Maybe we don't understand it, and it hasn't panned out in our time frame compared to God's no time frame. I'm not certain.
This description is very accurate actually only in a beginning stage if it gets worse and does not stop, that's how you know. "The second angel poured out his flask upon the oceans, and they became like the watery blood of a dead man; and everything in all the oceans died." (The Living Bible). So, only we can wait to see if and how the first two of the scripture pans out and then the 3rd-7th angel tasks.
Some of the oil spill including underwater (I believe it is green lit underwater because the sunlight could not get through from the surface).

2 Year old Toddler Smokes Cigarettes daily. See Video, Tobacco Companies wake up! Wish I could help teach that Toddler, what is happening and say for the parents, "No, NO!"

Even a silent prayer is loud to the heavens, how much louder do you think all our prayers united could be?! The Lord hears and answers an amount of prayers that we could not fully even imagine or fathom his abilities. "Yes", "No", and "Wait"... he will answer, you will see it, hear it or know it.
Pray for our nation, our world, our neighbors, our loved ones. Pray for understanding and wisdom and faith, especially in the trying times we are in. Pray for what is in your heart.
I will also pray for those of you that need him, that your hearts be open to hear the call of Jesus on the door of your heart. Open the door. God bless you.

1 Kings 8:30 May you hear the humble and earnest requests from me and your people Israel when we pray toward this place. Yes, hear us from heaven where you live, and when you hear, forgive. 1 Kings 9:3 The Lord said to him,“I have heard your prayer and your petition. I have set this Temple apart to be holy—this place you have built where my name will be honored forever. I will always watch over it, for it is dear to my heart.
Jeremiah 29:11-13 11 For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. 12 In those days when you pray, I will listen. 13 If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me.
