Much has been said recently regarding
the Month of September and regarding many and multiple things that
are suppose to be happening. Anyone who has spent any amount of time
on YouTube has probably seen the videos pointing out how the numbers
“9” and “23” or what many speculate 9/23/2015 seems to be a
significant number among the elite. I believe the following
information to be the most telling clue of any of the clues I have
heard so far:</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
While those who follow the zodiac are
often mocked among man common people and especially scorned among the
Christian we have very much ignored what these “things” mean to
those who are the most ardent of the followers among the mystery
schools and their religious belief. The Zodiac is of very particular
interest and indeed is foundational to their understanding and
undertakings. It is the pentultimate of their “As above so below”
motto. So why is the month of September and particularly the date
9/23/2015 so significant. First, let us list how the Zodiac is
aligned to the Gregorian (Watcher) Calender.</div>

Virgo and Libra meet or “conceive”
on September 23<sup>rd</sup>, 24th. What is the initiated
understanding? From David Flynn Collection “Cydonia” pg 384,
prgh 1, 2</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
“The Dendera zodiac depicts each of
the 12 signs of the ecliptic in the same form recognizable today,
with the notable exception of Libra. Sitting on the constellation
Libra “the scales” is a small child with his finger to his lips.
This is the symbol of the young Horus, which was called
Heru-pa-khart, Horus the younger, Harpocrates in the Greek, the god
of silence and secrets. The
portrayal of this symbol on the Dendera zodiac from 700 B.C.
<b>Demonstrates the understanding shared by the initiates of
Isis, that Libra was a sign of Horus himself. Libra is situated on
the 14</b><sup><b>th</b></sup><b> Greenwich hour, or 2 O'clock GMT.
14 is the number of pieces Osiris body was divided into by his
brother and enemy Set.</b>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
The significance of Libra for the
mystery schools is apparent in the short-hand glyph for the sign.
The “rising sun” of Libra, called Hardetcher “Horus on the
Horizon” indicates that those initiated into the mysteries
understand Libra as representing both dualism and an esoteric symbol
for 'the son of Mars.' <b>This is further illustrated in many
astrological images of Virgo combined with Libra. The archetypical
blindfolded female of 'Justice' an incarnation of Isis, holds the
scales in one hand and the sword in the other.”</b></div>

<b> </b>More
information regarding the interesting date of 9/23/2015. In an
interview (I cannot remember which one) I believe on the Hagmann and
Hagmann report Tom Horn was speaking about the Washington monument
and incorporated much of the work of David Flynn into his own
research. In this interview discussing the Washington Monument (The
Phallic symbol of Orion) they discussed the earthquake that caused
the monument damage. Tom Horn speculates, does this mean that this
magical working of the Washington layout and it's purpose mean that
something has been “conceived?” That their magical working has
operated according to their intent? For whatever reason that has
stuck in my head. So, I went and did a little calculating and here
is what I found.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Between the dates
of the earthquake that “cracked” Orion's phallus in Washington on
August 23, 2011 and the date September 23, 2015 we have an incredible
number appear.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Aug 23,2011 –
Sept 23, 2015 = 1492 days</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
The year 1492 is
branded in every young person who grew up (at least in my generation)
as the year that “Columbus sailed the ocean blue.” and the
discovery of America. Here is more from “The David Flynn
Collection – Cydonia” Pg. 383 prgh 3</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
“America's east
coast begins at the place corresponding to Leo in the heavens.
America's capitol lies where Leo and Virgo intersect, just as the
sphinx connects the beginning and ending of the zodiac. Virgo
dominates the eastern half of America and Libra “The Scales”
overlays the western half. America is the only body of land that
occupies these three zodiacal figures – representing Isis, Osiris
and Hours – Simultaneously. Libra represents the same esoteric
aspect of Hours as the sign Gemini. They are both symbols used in
the monolateral Egyptian religion as the balance of male and female
powers. As the offspring of the twins Isis and Osiris, the Hours
symbols Gemini and Libra also demonstrate the union of above and
below.”</div>

I know I had stated I would post more on Predictive Programming. However, I have received numerous questions regarding how I came to see what I have stated. I do not feel I can share that without giving a brief insight to my background. Take the following for what it is worth. I stand beside it and will not waver from the testimony below.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>WHERE LIFE BEGAN FOR ME</b><br />
<span style="text-align: left;">.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
Late 1999- 2000 I had attended a large
men's conference that had gained much momentum at that time called
Promise Keepers of which I am sure you are familiar. It was during
such an event that I had become convicted of my sin of lust. From
that point (being truly convicted) I began to pray in earnest
continually to be freed from this spirit that was ruining my family
because of my sin. Having be raised in a non-denominasional church
the way in which the Lord answered my prayer was unsettling and
unexpected to say the least.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
I was getting ready for bed (and
because of my sin) I was sleeping alone on the couch with my wife in
bed by herself. I had turned off everything except for the bathroom
light in the hallway, which we kept on as a nightlight. As I was
falling asleep I became increasingly aware of a presence of fear that
grew exponentially. I feel that the words “overwhelming terror”
does not even accurately describe what I was feeling. Along with
this was the sensation of being forced into the couch as if something
were pushing/holding me down. I began to pray like I had never
prayed before. With my eyes closed I asked Jesus to take this away.
It only intensified and it didn't seem possible that it could. I
don't know how long this took place, but at one point I became aware
that there was a presence in the room. The same sensation you have
when you realize someone is looking at you in a crowd without
actually seeing the person who is looking. I knew exactly where to
look for this presence even though my eyes had been closed the entire
time. I turned over and looked up and saw the following. This is
the only description that I can come up with. What I saw was a
completely dark shadow where a shadow could not have possibly been.
The bathroom light should have made everything in that room visible
to me. However the shadow (completely black) is best described as
the silouette of Darth Vador from star wars minues the detail of the
actual person. Just the outline. Without thinking I told that
“thing” to leave in the name of Jesus three times before it moved
and went “through” the front doorway. Needless to say I didn't
fall asleep except for 15 and 20 minute intervals the rest of that
night. That day was spent by me wondering if I had just hallucinated
the whole thing. That idea was quickly erased the next night.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
The next night, in bed with my wife
this time, I again was just about to fall asleep. Our bathroom light
with the door to the bathroom mostly closed, acting as our
nightlight. And again the feeling of absolute terror began to
overcome me as I was laying there. I pinched my eyes shut not
wanting to see what I knew was there in my room. Repeat me praying
in earnest under my breath to make this “thing” go away. I had
not gotten very far in this when my wife sat straight up and grabbed
my arm and stated “Chad, there's someone in our room!” The
terror in her voice matching the terror I felt in my own heart. I
quickly repeated the previous night's sequence of commanding that
thing to leave in Jesus name verbally out loud. As I completed the
third time saying this the thing again began to leave the room
towards the door. As it left the room, my daughter who was still
just an infant at 9 months old, let out a blood-curdling scream as
only a baby could. We of course quickly ran to comfort her.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
The Lord had my attention to say the
least. The truth of the scriptures testimony and witness was become
for me a reality of the truth for the very first time in my
“christian” life. That day began a response in me that was not
planned, it simply was. I was broken. I could not eat or think
about anything else for what became a ten day time-frame. During
this time I was stripped spiritually of all I thought I knew. A war
was being waged against me spiritually against the Word of God
internally. It was as if I was a spectator in my own heart and mind.
The arguments of the world were attacking the truth of what I
professed to believe. The result of this ten day spiritual battle
was that there became one verse of scripture, and only one, that cast
down every argument and accusation against my soal was this verse -
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>John 10:28</b></span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">
</span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">
And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish,
neither shall any </span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>man</i></span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">
pluck them out of my hand</span></span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="color: #f1c232;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">.</span>
</span><span style="color: white;">This verse and this verse alone began winning every word that came
against me in my heart. I had been stripped of everything. This
verse alone God revealed to me was the only truth in scripture that
was of a truth faith in me despite my years of attending church and
teaching. But, from this one scripture the Lord began building of a
truth all His word in me and adding to it as a building would be
constructed from the foundation.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="color: white;"> I
began sharing this experience with any who would listen. So much was
my zeal at my new-found reality that I quickly began to stir up my
church family. To my great surprise it was not the non-believers
that were rejecting my testimony, but the very members of my own
church family and life-long friends. So much so that I received a
visit from the minister of my church at my house questioning me on my
testimony. The Lord had filled me with His Holy Spirit and I was
preaching repentance in the power of God. This was causing trouble.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="color: white;"> It
was a little while into this pattern of rejection before the Lord
Himself visited me in a dream. I had never experienced this for
myself before and it has been permanantly etched into the fabric of
who I am. There is always more to a personal testimony than can be
shared in brief here at what the Lord performed during the last 13yrs
of my life since that time, but I wish to share three dreams that The
Lord has given me since that time.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="color: white;">My
dream started with me in my vehicle driving to work on the same
route I drove every day. When I looked to my left I saw not the
buildings that should have been there, but a vast desert. As I
looked to the right of this desert I saw a vast storm such as I had
never seen before. I stretched from the top of the heavens to the
earth and it's expanse reached from the left to the right as far as
the eye could see. I instantly knew that this storm covered the
entire earth and nothing would escape it's path. I immediately
stopped my jeep and took three steps into the desert. But, before I
could walk any further I saw at the back of this desert a unicorn
running towards me so quickly that a dust cloud was left behind Him
and He reached me before I could take a fourth step. It took no
words, but I had immediate understanding that this was indeed The
Lord and that He had been searching in this desert for His children.
(for those who think this is fantasy I suggest they search for the
term “unicorn” in their KJV Bibles and see that this is indeed
the Lord in figure). Without words, but pure thought I knew that
The Lord was letting me know that anything I asked of Him I could
have and He would give it to me. Again, without consciously
thinking the response came forth from me “I want to heal!” The
Lord then looked at me like I had never been looked at before. With
that one look from head to toe I knew that the Lord could see me as
nobody else ever could. My past, my present and my future. All of
it laid bare before Him. He nodded at me and stepped forward.
Again, without needing any words, I knew that I was to lay my hand
upon His horn to receive my request. He then retreated back a step
and nodded to me and quickly left to where He came from. I was so
excited (still in my dream) that I went and started telling everyone
I knew to be sick what had just happened and that if they only asked
to be healed that I could lay my hands on them and they would be
healed immediately. Many were healed until I reached one person I
knew that resisted. I kept persisting and the more I tried the more
I was resisted until this person ran from me and eventually ran to a
place I could not follow. When that happened I went to my own house
and told my wife what had happened. Up until this point in the
dream I understood everything that was happening. However, the
response of my wife confused me. She answered me by telling me to go
and buy the biggest and most expensive jar of perfume I could buy
and so I did. When I returned she asked me to come with her to the
family room with a bowel and so I did. When I arrived she began to
take off her socks and shoes and asked me to place the bowel at her
feet and pour the perfume into the bowel. When I asked her why I
was doing this she responded “The time is near and the time has
come for I must wash my feet of this world because my heels are
sore.” End of the dream. I woke up</span></span></div>

<ol start="2">
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="color: white;">Three
days later I had another dream in which I was in what should have
been a purely white kitchen. Everything was covered in filth from
top to bottom. As I looked there was a horrible man who had a baby
in filthy rags held in one hand. He was (with contempt) using the
rags that covered the baby as a wash cloth to wipe the kitchen down.
The child was being destroyed because of the violence with which he
used it and was creating more filth with the destruction that the
purpose of cleansing the dirt away. When I realized what was
happening I immediately overcame this terrible man and stripped the
child away from him and chased him off. When I had done so I looked
down at the baby who was unconscience and bleeding from the abuse.
I was utterly heart-broken. The dream ended</span></span></div>

<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">

of these dreams were immediately after my visitation experience.

<ol start="3">
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="color: white;">This
dream was very short, but left me panting when I awoke. I looked
and saw this man who appeared to me as though dressed in proper
business clothing, to me was a bum. He held a bottle in his hand
covered with a brown paper bag that was obviously alcohol. He asked
me if I had tried this new stuff that everyone was talking about.
Stating that this “spirit” was an ancient spirit that had been
just recently rediscovered. I told him “no”. He said you have
to try it! Before I could respond he quickly took a huge swig into
his mouth and then just as quickly pressed his mouth to mine and
vomitted this spirit out of his belly directly into my mouth by
grabbing the back of my head and pressing his mouth to mine. I was
repulsed and infuriated by this and quickly vomitted back at of my
mouth onto the ground what he had done. Dream ended as I woke up
fro</span><span style="color: white; font-size: x-small;">m sleep.</span></span></div>

<br />
They did not move, they did not go; they will not. <br />
<br />
They have not died. They do not want that. That is a little too extreme. That is for the few, the extra special, the Mother Teresa's and Zecheriahs. <br />
<br />
We're not really called to lay down our lives. That's not for us. We just give God a little, just enough to keep the blessings flowing. To hold our reservation in Heaven. We've got a life to live and happiness to pursue, after all. God can't expect us to give up everything for Him. <br />
<br />
So why don't you go, Girdwood. <br />
<br />
You can go, and we'll just stay here and give our ten-percent to help you pay the way. You go Girdwood, not us. But thanks anyway for the offer. Thanks for the sermon, thanks for warming our hearts a little and making us feel good for a moment. Thanks a lot. <br />
<br />
And all the people did was clap. <br />
And all the angels wondered why. <br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><b>WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR</b> - What are you waiting for? What event in
life do you need to finally convince you that the way you are living
your life is not worth it? So frustrated day in and day
out. Lack. Lack is the one word that defines your existance. Never
enough. The day leaves you exhausted. You come home and distract
yourself with entertainment. You 'Live for the weekend'.
Unsatisfied. When will you believe that Christ died for you and not
just the minister and the preacher. We have all suffered greatly
because all who have heard Christ have not followed Him. Did you not
understand that if you heard His voice and accepted Him than it was
to you whom He called to a life from that point forward in service to
Him?</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><b>SACRIFICE</b>
– I know. In the past it seemed too much. You have a family and
friends and a routine. Where has that got you? I can tell you; it
has left you unsatisfied, wretched in your hearts, deperessed,
dependant on medication to provide for a “chemical imbalance”. </span>

<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>WHY
ARE YOU OUT OF BALANCE TO BEGIN WITH - </b> Is it not because you are
living in a rebellion against the call of Christ on your life? Did
you not think there was a blessing for you in following Jesus that is
more than what you can hold in your hand? You tell me. You have
your home. You have your big-screen t.v. You have the furniture.
But, is it bringing you peace? How's your relationship with your
spouse? Children? Family? I can tell you. You don't have to lie
to me. It's written all over you. What do I mean? There's no power
in your testimony. Those around you are not shaking at the power of
Christ in your life. Nobody speaks of you. Let me tell you
something. Those who are on The Path of following Jesus are
dividers! What do I mean? I mean this. They are either sought
after or despised! People love them or hate them. Of those who are
fully committed to following Jesus leave noone a choice to “not
have an opinion.”</span></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>IT'S
MY FAULT</b> - I know this because I was (am) one of those people who
ignored the call for far to long. Let me tell you where that led me:
Bondage, Debt, Division with my spouse, rebellion of my children.
Should I go on? Of course not! You already know it for yourself!
It's my fault and my sin, but no more!</span></div>

<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>I'M
SELLING OUT FOR CHRIST AND I'M TAKING MY FAMILY WITH ME</b> - I'm
tired of that old life. I'm tired of ignoring Christ's claim on my
life. I'm not ignoring it anymore. I'm following Him. I'm selling
out. Goodbye house and mortgage I can't afford. Goodbye material
possesions that have no purpose for God. Goodbye curses; bring on
the blessing! Yes, and I am taking my rightful place as the leader
of my family. I am taking the wife given to me and I am leading her
and my family to Jesus. To following after Him and experiencing the
joy and peace that come from following Him and Him alone!</span></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>WHAT
DOES THAT MEAN</b> - I don't know, but for the first time since I have
been saved and filled with His Holy Spirit I'm excited again! I know
there will be trouble, but not without His Peace. He gives peace not
as the world gives! THANK GOD FOR THAT! I'm done with this world
folks. It's a curse. It's a trap and a lie. This world holds
nothing for me anymore. I see where it leads. As for me and my
house we will serve the Lord.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><b>WHAT'S
STOPPING YOU FROM GOING WITH ME</b> - But, how will my family survive?
How will they be provided for? That's what is in your heart, but you
don't say it out loud when asked. We come up with all sorts of
reasons to feed our delusions like “Someone has to support the
missionaries.” Yup, I agree. I thought that was Jesus job though?
What you are really saying is “I don't have faith to believe that
Christ meant that for me.” When in fact He did. If you heard His
call then He meant it just for you. “Follow me.” That's what He
said. “I will make you fishers of men.” That's what He said.
“Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” That's what
He said.</span></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>YES
THERE WILL BE TROUBLE</b> – Yes, there will be trouble. Yes there will
be times of unknown immediate answers to your need, but won't it be
so good to know that you are living by faith and not by sight? That
you will have the greatest peace there is in knowing that you are one
with Him! Hand in hand with Him? Give that life to me! I want it
and I want it now! I want it today! Give me Jesus and nothing else!</span></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">

<span style="font-size: small;"><b>JUST
GET OUT OF MY WAY</b> – For those of you who would say “Calm down
Chad. Let's think this through.” Really? You want me to think
this through. Okay, I've spent the last twenty years thinking this
through. Give it a rest! Save your words. I've “sat” and
“thought” long enough. Give me Jesus. He is my portion!</span></div>

<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Our
natural tendency is to shy away from prayer. We already dread the
time we will spend there before we ever start. Even those who are
given to spend more time in prayer than perhaps some others will even
feel it in their own flesh as well. Resistance. You know why. The
weakness of the flesh. The sinfulness of the flesh. The guilt of
our own hearts condemning us. If we would just understand that it is
just what prayer is for that the answer for these and much more would
be found with our heads and hearts bowed before God.</span></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Why
does this happen?</b> - We know for ourselves that prayer is a
sacrifice in many ways outwardly. It is a sacrifice of time and we
know instinctively it is a sacrifice of our own wills. We don't even
truly consider that the sacrifice of these two things alone our worth
it. Sadly, we never have truly experienced what it has meant to lay
hold of God. Prayer is a sacrifice. That's why this happens. We
are told in Romans 12:1 that we should present ourselves “holy and
pleasing to God.” Before we can be presented we have to be
examined. When Yahweh gave the commands for the sacrifice He did it
with order. There was an order to be followed. Principal of this
order is that the sacrificial lamb was to be “unblemished”. The
high priest was to examine the sheep for errors. Simply put, if
there was anything wrong with the sheep then it was rejected and
could not be offered as a sacrifice.</span></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>So
that's what's happening</b> - YES! If you have accepted Jesus as
your saviour then you have been given the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Our Lord's Spirit will do everything to keep us in a right standing
with God. Do everything to keep us in His favor! Do everything to
keep us UNBLEMISHED! The Holy Spirit will prompt us all day long to
stay in God's ways. Will direct us according to our thoughts. Warn
us of danger. Show us how we are to proceed. If we, by faith,
follow and obey His guidance then we maintain a clean conscience.
We, the living sacrifice, are examined. Your heart will be examined
for truth. Whatever the truth is then it must be confessed and
exposed.</span></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>The
crucified life</b> - For most, sadly, they only see confession as a
sad ordeal that has always led to the same place; back to where they
are now. Nowhere. No more power in life than what they have always
had. Listen to the Lord's story. Have you not seen in God's Word?
YOU HAVEN'T EVEN PRAYED YET! I don't care how long you have been a
Christian. I don't care how long you have attended church. If you
have never understood this then you have NEVER pressed in. Listen to
what I am telling you. You haven't even begun! Don't let this be a
condemnation, but a sign of hope! That which I had thought of as
prayer and never received answer for wasn't even prayer! That which
you have always called prayer was just the beginning! You have never
made it before God's throne where the blessings of prayer and the
offerings of our heart can be offered! To that place where you can
come away from with a full assurance YOU HAVE WHAT YOU ASKED FOR!
But, what if the confession of your heart is that of the crucified
life? What if you can with boldness, instead of a confession of sin,
let your confession be that of a clean conscience? That you can
believe God and have your heart be examined and that through faith
(believing God's word and work) that you have been made clean.
Confess your sins. Accept God's grace. And THEN press on to the
throne of God!</span></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Before
the Throne</b> - Now you can pray. Now you can plead your case
before our Lord! It is here that we can present ourselves and God's
promises to before the throne. We come before the King of Kings and
present His Words, the Law, and we confess them before the Lord AND
DO NOT GIVE UP until we have a full assurance in our hearts that we
have received our request!</span></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Are
you with me now?</b> - Can you see now what your sin is and has
been? Can you hear your heart tell you now what your true nature has
been? That sin of unbelief. Unbelief is the cause of our loss. It
is why we continue to lose with God in prayer. Again and again we
have hung our heads in shame and walked away without the blessing we
came for. The shame of walking away from the throne empty-handed has
happened more times then we can count. Nobody has ever told you that
today, even today, you could have walked away with a fullness of
faith. Walked away from the throne of God with a full assurance.
That you could have heard His decree; His promise to you and your
blessing. That you could have seen in your life God's working and
manifesting of His power! God's Word cannot fail! God's promises
cannot come back empty! A fullness and boldness of faith is
required. A fullness and boldness that does not shy away. Have you
not read that the one who doubts can expect nothing? Do not let this
be you forever! Do not go away again empty-handed! Come with me and
kneel before God and confess your sins. Read in God's word how He
has cleansed you of your sin by His death on the cross. And that
even now, by his own blood, is interceding on your behalf and
washing you clean!</span></div>

<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">When
the Lord first did His mighty work in me I was led to a place I had
not spent much time. Where was that place? Prayer. Having been
born into and raised up in the same church or body of believers it
was natural to have prayer. We prayed before studies and we prayed
at the ending. We prayed often during our morning worship at select
times. However, the “polite” church praying was not enough for
me. Please do not misunderstand that what I say is laying blame or
accusation of my church! Never! What I am saying is that in my
local church there is order. We seek as a whole to provide a chorus
of a UNIFIED voice to God. A chorus of voices crying out together
silently and also openly in our churches is a good thing!</span></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">What
I am saying is that the work God wrought out in me was a work for me
and for them and now is for you. You see, the personal prayer life
and the prayer life of a church can be two different things. What I
witnessed and as my own personal experience in the church on Sundays
never exposed me to the messy battle and war that can be in prayer
when we are alone; the personal individual life that we are to have
if any personal growth into Christ our head is to take place. For
me, as it is for most, I was driven to prayer by an over abundance of
sin in my life. Problems and worries and guilt and a lack of
knowledge... I could go on and on. For a vast majority of all people
I do not think I would be amiss to say that this is the “normal”
path for all. Some tragedy in our life that brought us to our knees.
Sadly, most have stayed only on their knees as long as the current
tragedy persisted. Once the tragedy was ended the longing and need
for prayer went away also. They have never found it to be or saw it
to be what Christ demonstrated it to be for us. A place not only for
pleading, but a place for PRESSING IN! They have never understood
that just because the Lord commanded us to go to a quiet place
doesn't mean that once we are there that it is to always REMAIN
QUIET!</span></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">No,
brothers and sisters in Christ listen to me. Let me plead with you
for a moment. My heart breaks and even now I am in tears for you.
Won't you walk with me for awhile? Would you let me be faithful to
my Lord and my Saviour and allow me to walk in faith with the
commission given to me and allow me to lead you to His throne? It is
my prayer that you will. It is my hope that when you find my words
here that you will be drawn to come back as often as you will to walk
with me as we go before the throne. Let me help you to break out of
a drought. Let me assist you to the place where any and all strength
for any work is to be found and met by the loving grace of our Lord
Jesus.</span></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">For
as long as it is His will you will find me here as we walk together
to the throne of God. It would so encourage me to know that you are
walking with me. If you would like to take this journey with me then
please let me know by simply commenting on this blog “I am here”.
Blessings to you from our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ our Mediator
in heaven! Amen.</span></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07326225542911330144noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6608142273481673458.post-89797917161666636172012-03-17T10:31:00.001-07:002012-03-17T10:31:11.044-07:00Wearing His NameThe scriptures say we are to "pray in Jesus name". But, do we understand what that means?<br />
<br />
Let's look at this in a way we can understand in today's terms. When we see a child that resembles their father not only in the way they look, but also in their deeds we say "he certainly us his father's son!". Let's take it a step further and go on to a family. How often in life have we come to know a whole family and seen that the whole of that family exhibit a definitive trait and we say "that boy certainly is a Smith!"<br />
<br />
This is what it means to "pray in The Name of Jesus". Everyone can see that the traits of the Father and the family exhibit themselves so clearly that you "wear the name of that family". <br />
<br />
We do not worship as the pagans do as if by some magical use of a name it would bring some special significance. We do not "work" our prayers as if by some special combination of words used in just the right order would "work the magic". Leave that to the Harry Potters!<br />
<br />
We pray in in the name of Jesus EVERY TIME WE PRAY only to the extent that the life of Jesus is evident in the child. <br />
<br />
Is your heart clean? Are your thoughts pure? Has Jesus been made for you your shield so that anytime you should pray you pray in His name?Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07326225542911330144noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6608142273481673458.post-84378827189628383342012-03-16T12:15:00.002-07:002012-03-16T12:15:50.767-07:00WHAT YOUR HEART THINKS<br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Powerless</b>
– That's where I have spent most of my christian life, powerless.
I do not think I would be wrong to say that most christians can
confess that it is the same for them as well. We've watched as
preacher and teacher have come before us at Sunday worship and
preached a rousing serman that has uplifted and encouraged us and
then by lunch timeafterward all sense of peace and right are thrown
out of balance by the fighting of our children or lack of agreement
between you and your spouse making you wonder if those who are with
you sat in the same room. I felt powerless. I had no power to keep
the peace I had while sitting and listening to the preacher. My own
frustration and lack for the correct answers to questions asked of me
adding to my frustration so that I was time-after-time no better off
than those around me, christian or not.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><b>That's
just the way it is</b> – Not only is this a popular line from a
song in the 1970's (I think), but also an unspoken theme for the way
most lead their lives. The outward turmoil to be matched with inward
turmoil; only to be at peace when we are being entertained here or
there and our problems momentarily forgotten. And so it goes day in
and day out month after month and year after year.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><b>You
mean I can read for myself?</b> - The answer to that from most is
yes, but no. I understand, that's just a confusing sentence. What
are you talking about? I can only talk about my own experience. I
can only tell you what happened to me. I sat in Bible studies on
Sundays and I went to small group sessions through the week,
listening to scripture and reading scripture to others, but time and
again I began to see a pattern that was frustrating me and I couldn't
put my finger on it. What I realized only much, much later was this;
Confused people who don't even know their own hearts giving their
interpretation of what the Lord says or is saying about scripture
they had read and what that means to be lived out. The problem is
that I was in the same boat as they. I could see, perhaps, some that
seemed to have it “more together” than me, but looking at them as
a whole I wanted to be nothing like them. Looking at myself as a
whole I didn't want to be like me either. I was just like them.
Perhaps they had understanding. Perhaps I had understanding, but
there was still no lasting peace. So easily stolen day after day,
week after week, year after year.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Something
has to break</b> - And thankfully it did! What broke was me. Just
like the man of Romans 7 frustration came to the fruition and God's
Word was proving true and I broke. This wasn't just a little
breaking either. It was a shattering. The exact events and God's
supernatural intervention I may share later, but for now I will only
tell you how God's intervention in my life was worked out in me.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Need
a translator?</b> - The answer is NO. A thousand times no. We
translate folks. We translate to hide what's really on our minds or
in our hearts. We translate in our lives. The problem is what we
have translated into speech and in our actions is not what is in our
heart. I'm speaking to those who have been baptized and have been
given the gift of the Holy Spirit. What we say is not how the Lord
spoke it. What we do is not what we were told to do. We do this
until we believe our own lies we speak and believe our own actions
are what we wanted to do. We deceive ourselves and do not know what
our own hearts think. Ahhhh, the life of a hypocrite.</span></div>

<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Man...I'm
slow</b> – I was shattered. I no longer trusted in “I” and I
know longer trusted in “you”. Right where I needed to be. No
longer trusting in myself, my own thoughts or the thoughts of others
I could only hope and trust in Jesus to be and do all for me He said
He would, come what may. Living for so long in the church and having
read the Word many times over I came to the realization “I know
nothing”.</span></div>

<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Jesus
take the wheel –</b> Finally and utterly broken I was in the place
where Jesus could finally prove Himself to me and in me. I stopped
hiding in speech and in action. Wow, what an eye opener. I cannot
tell you how many times I had to say “I don't know” where before
I would have offered my educated guess and submitted it as fact
(LIE). How many times I had to face consequences for previous lies
and actions and accept the punishment for actions I had taken before
Christ's intervention. I spoke the truth as God revealed it to me
and was reviled by friends and family alike. No longer caring to
please man I spoke it plainly as God was giving it to me. Friends
became enemies and enemies became friends. For the first time ever
in my life I was walking in Truth! But, not just in Truth, but in
Spirit! If Jesus said it to me I said it out loud. If Jesus told me
to do something I did it. No questions asked. No thought for myself
taken. I was done with me. </span>

<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Yup,
this is a mess</b> – My life in my hands was a mess and God had a
lot of cleaning up to do. That means a lot of things I had set up
God had to tear down. Relationships that should have never been were
broken. In all my years of being a “Christian” and reading the
Word and going to church God revealed only one thing that was true in
me “Nothing can snatch me from my Father's hand”. Brothers and
sisters it was tough. So many times I felt myself wanting to cringe
from speaking the truth or doing something God had told me I should
do. I was miserable, but my heart was at peace!</span></div>

<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">First,
I would like to thank you for reading. There are many things you
could have read, but by God's providence you have landed here. I do
not take that lightly. So let's get to it.</span></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Why
is this called “Warrior Shepard” blog? </b> The answer to that is a
simple one. It's my name. Well, the literal translation of my name.
Chad means “battle or warrior” and my last name of Schafer means
“Shepard” in German. So it is simply what I was called to be –
Warrior Shepard. My middle name gives even more meaning to my
calling, but I will share that later...maybe. Names we give our
children are very important, but that's for another blog post for
another time.</span></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">

</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Purpose
for this blog?</b> Well, like everyone, I have thoughts given to me that
I would like to share. Each of us is given a “talent” and I do
not wish to have mine taken away and given to someone else. I wish
to be obedient.. So the answer is obedience to The Word of God.</span></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">So,
to summarize, I would say this. If you have found your way here than
there is a reason. You were meant to find this early on. God has
shared something with me that He would like to share with you. I
look forward to hearing from you as we walk together through this
“Valley of the Shadow of Death”.</span></div>
