Fellow citizens - are you aware of the consequences of our nations spiraling debt? Do you see yourself as being in financial bondage to a communist country? If you don't then I beg of you to look again! Unless each one of us who has pledged allegiance to our beloved Republic take the time to get involved and make ourselves heard in the halls of our Capital, and demand that our elected Representatives cease and desist this continuous enslavement our of nation's future through mismanagement of its resources - primarily financial, but it doesn't stop there. Please pray that our elected officials seek wisdom from Almighty God and not from man.
God's richest blessing to you and yours.
Brother Timothy

Earthquake!!!
"Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them. But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.. . . Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines,and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from Heaven."
Luke 21.8-11
Web site with blog coming soon...............................God bless.

Needed,..... Questions :-)
Greetings in the precious name of our Lord and Saviour!!!
While there are still some parts of this blog that are under construction (and I sincerely thank you for your patience), I am in need of some food for thought, that is, questions! The more questions I can seek answers for through God's Word the more inspired I get in other areas as well. Please submit them directly to brot@JesusAnswers.com.
Thank you,
and don't forget:
"This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it." (ps.118.24)

Questions Answered with God's Word
I was asked yesterday - what is a demon? are demons real? do they posses people? how can we tell if someone is possessed? I suggested perhaps a short study on the subject of Demonology would satisfy the curiosity. An affirmative nod has launched the following:
A demon is a fallen angel. You will recall that previously I had mentioned that Lucifer was the highest archangel of God before he decided to usurp God's sovereignty. By wanting to take charge of Heaven, to govern Heaven and the angels, to be like the Lord Most High, Lucifer was consequently expelled from the very place he sought to control. Thus he became known as Satan. Other names he also goes by are: " . . . the dragon, that old serpent . . ." (Revelation 20.2); " . . . a murderer . . . a liar and the father of it . . . " (John 8.44); " . . . the accuser of our brethren . . . " (Revelation 12.10); and many more. Since God had created Lucifer with "free will," that is, he was given the power of choice, Lucifer was able to voluntarily worship God or not. As we all know, he elected to let his pride get the best of him and in so doing his rebellion against God cost him everything. As a result he and the angels that were in partnership with him were expelled from Heaven - God's Word tell us:
"Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. 16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. 17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. 18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. 19 All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more." (Ezekiel 28.12-19)
His eternal fall was further documented by the prophet Isaiah:
"How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! 13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: 14 I will ascend above the heights of the
clouds; I will be like the most High." (Isaiah 14.12-14)
So there you have it - Satan's (Lucifer's) great fall, along with that of his partnering angels (now known as demons) are real beings! Therefore, since they are real, what can they do to us?
Again, we turn to God's Word for the answer. But first, let's get a few matters out in the open; that is, let's address some things that really shouldn't have been given the notoriety they were -
1.) I am not an authority on Satan - God and His Word are. I simply turn to His Word and study it to inform myself about His creation. There is no human teacher that can better inform us about God, Satan, or any other Biblical / Spiritual matter than God Himself ((through His Holy Spirit)"But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, He shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.") And don't forget, Satan is the Father of Lies, he is out to deceive us!
2.) Satan does not have a red suit, nor does he have a tail or horns. This is the closest description we have of him: "Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. 13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. 14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. 15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. 16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. 17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee." (Ezekiel 28.13-17) However, he is quite pleased at having misleading depictions of his nature being spread around; they serve as distractions, diverting attention from his wickedness.
3.) As for the matter of whether Satan can fly or has wings - I believe the reason people think that Satan can fly and that he has wings is because angels have wings. However, I don't know if Satan, known as the Archangel Lucifer before he was expelled from Heaven, kept his wings or not. In the garden in Eden he speaks through a serpent, and in the book of Revelation he is referred to as that old serpent, "And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years," (Revelation 20.2). Therefore, since there is no clear indication, either way, as to whether he has or has not wings or the ability to fly; my inclination is that he doesn't, and, since he is known to be able to travel at the speed of thought - why would he need them? As a matter of fact, there are references to him ". . walking up and down in it." (Job 1.7, 2.2;); and ". . . as a roaring lion, walketh about . . ." (1 Peter 5.8). I can't think of one instance where Satan is referred to as having flown somewhere!
Now let's address what some consider a controversial subject: DEMON POSSESSION
to be continued ;-)
may God Bless Richly Bless You!
