		<description>The Lord spoke to me a few years ago and told me that I would operate in the spirit of Elijah and John the baptist. I had no idea what that meant at the time. He has slowly been preparing me along with others to step out and walk in the fullness of our calling. The desires of my heart have become a love for the people and seeing them come to maturity in Christ. I preach holiness and repentance. I am very bold and passionate about being undivided in our hearts as to who we will serve as it is all or nothing. I am protective of the little ones. I stand firmly against teachings of Eternal Security as it is a lie and is leading many straight to hell and any form of rapture that is not at the same time as the visible return of the Lord (as there is only one return) after the tribulation. God is preparing us to go through the great tribulation not to escape it and many will not be prepared because of the false sense of security that these teachings offer. I am glad to see that some are listening to what the Spirit is saying to the Church today.</description>

		<description>This is sooooo awesome.  I am even more inspired.  Love this.  
I looked up the fragrance of fresh sweet flowers because on Sunday out of nowhere I smelled a fragrance of sweet flowers around me for about 15 seconds after relaxing on my couch for a little while.    
There was no possible explanation for that fragrance.  At that time of  the pretty fragrance, I felt an overwhelming sense of comfort, peace and joy.  It was an amazing feeling.  I will never forget what that beautiful fragrance was.   I will never be or feel the same.  Soooooooo inspired.  ;o)  
Blessings,

		<description>The Lord of the harvest is most glorified by our following His ways and means. Thank you for this timely reminder and excellent presentation. He wants us to enter into the work of world-wide missions with our hearts in unity with His heart. This can only happen as we obey our Lord by praying Him to send laborers in to His harvest. As a missionary in Africa I can testify that there are many uncalled men going forth. I do not denounce them, but oh how we need men of God who will preach the whole counsel of 
God uncompromisingly, and who will plant and establish Biblical churches.</description>

		<description>I agree wholeheartedly that the church is desperate need of ridding itself of the humanism that has crept in, especially through the concept of social justice.Col 2:8 Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ. We need to preach the simple truths of the gospel.
What seems to have clouded the minds of the church, in the case of Egypt and the other Arab revolts, is that this kind of behavior is the proper means of changing governments. It is almost entirely impossible that rebellion through riots and revolt will lead to a godly outcome. I know that some might cite the American Revolution as an example of a revolt that ended in a godly society. Given the current condition of the American Society, that might be a hard argument to make. That is too long of an argument to debate in this small space.
The truth is that the Bible sets a different course for changing godless societies. Our enemy is not governments but the devil who has control over those who rule, whether consciously or unconsciously. The way to win the war against the devil is clearly stated in Re 12:11 &quot;And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t think Jesus&#039; interactions with the devil in the temptations can establish whether or not satan actually had the authority he was offering. Jesus addressed the root issue of worship rather than whether satan had the abilities he was claiming to have. Because of the root issue whether or not he had that authority did not come into the conversation.

Obviously, satan does hold great sway over wicked kingdoms in this age and that authority was given to him in the fall. The fundamental issue I am trying to drive home is that all of satan&#039;s authority is very clearly under the rule of God. This is why the Scripture is clear that even the establishment of wicked kingdoms occurs under God&#039;s authority. Obviously, this raises other challenging questions, but may have a misconception of God&#039;s present place of rule above all.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I don&#8217;t think Jesus&#8217; interactions with the devil in the temptations can establish whether or not satan actually had the authority he was offering. Jesus addressed the root issue of worship rather than whether satan had the abilities he was claiming to have. Because of the root issue whether or not he had that authority did not come into the conversation.</p>

		<description>You said that it was a misconception that the earth is under satans rule, yet in Luke 4:5-6 it says that the devil led Jesus to a high place and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and said I will give you all their authority and splender, for it has been given to me, and I can give it to anyone I want, and Jesus did not deny that it was given to him, it also says something simular to that in Mathew. Im not sure either way, but maybe the authority was given to him by Adam and Eve when they chose to obey satin rather than God?</description>

		<description>Whatever Dr. Seuss meant with the symbolism I&#039;m not sure. The way that I saw it was that the Kangaroo represented the devil in trying to convince EVERYONE that if you can&#039;t see, hear, or touch something that it doesn&#039;t exist. Thus, trying to say that there wasn&#039;t a God. Horton, I believe, represented Jesus. He wondered everywhere telling everyone that the Who&#039;s were there and that HE would make sure to protect them. He had followers in the children that he spoke to until the Kangaroo interfered and told the parents that Horton was doing bad (while everyone knew he would never do wrong). The Kangaroo did everything in her power to stop Horton from saving the Whos. Horton endured many trials in order to save them including being called names, told that he wasn&#039;t welcome back to the area where the children were, put into a crate, and beaten, etc... All the time protecting the Whos. The Whos would represent mankind. When every Who no matter how small all joined together (like a congregation) the can finally be heard and therefore SAVED. There are also messages of tolerance and forgiveness in this story.</description>

		<description>Wow. I was really humbled by this. The Lord has been really challenging my own heart with the idea of suffering for Him so I appreciate your honesty on the matter. May you continue to be blessed in more knowledge and depth of revelation through our Messiah, Yeshua, Amen.</description>
