Hello World:
Here I am with Lord leading in part 4, of my warning, to Christians in this Christian series. People, the information on the international money scams is vast. The Lord spoke to me, and told me I had to do my homework on this. Everything the Lord told me, I confirmed in my research to be 100 percent accurate.
I am going to mention a few examples of actual victims from a website I retrieved information from. The name of the website is www.uk-fraud.info/types/letters.html. I am just briefly mentioning some of these victims. First, "An American businessman instructed to come to the UK on the pretext of completing the final transfer of the money into his account, tragically committed suicide in a London hotel when he realized that he had been defrauded." According to uk-fraud, he lost more than $50,000.
"Two asian women in a long running advance fee case lost 25 million."
"A Norwegian woman brought to the UK to complete a deal, sold her home and transferred proceeds of 120,000 to an account in Nigeria that belonged to frauds."
Those are just a few victims of many more, to whom have never reported being victimized. Again, the three above examples I give credit to the uk-fraud.info site, because it is their information, not mine.
There are many people, everyday, who with anticipation and excitement of getting alot of money, schedule appointments with these money scam artist. Victims fly all over the world to meet frauds in hotels, not knowing that they are at the point of losing all their money, homes, life and dignity. Alot of people get so drawn into it, until when they see the truth, they have gone so far into it, they can not handle it. They become very embarrassed. That is why the one guy committed suicide. In some cases, as I mentioned in the previous post, they will kill you anyways, once you find out you have been had. So, depending on the meeting, they will make sure you do not make it out of the hotel.
My heart goes out to all those victims. It does not matter if they were greedy or had that weakness for money. They may have had a problem, but that does not make it right, or excuse the criminals who preyed upon their problem. I feel the same for people who do not have a money problem or money weakness, but who are just hoping to better themselves, church or organization financially. I can't stand to see someone mistreated like that. That is pure evil and it needs to be exposed, and it needs to be stopped. To my fellow Christians, I do not want to see any of you fall into this trap. Especially in such a situation in which you can die. Also, we must trust God to guide us, and use wisdom to keep the church doors open, and evangelism and charity ministries flourishing.
I do not want to hear or see about someone who was trying to get into those money offers. Then the next thing, the deal goes bad, and they have a C-4 explosive strapped to their body, with them being tied up, coming out of a hotel about to meet their death; all the while nobody knows how it happened. Or they go into the hotel to meet someone, and their food or drink has poison in it and they eat or drink it, and die. We must prevent these things from happening.
Another thing I want to talk about is the "black money dye" scheme. Basically, this is where you meet with some people who have suitcases of dollar bill notes. Usually the paper notes are $100. However, because of custom inspections, they dye the money to avoid inspection. They show a few real $100 notes, and use a solution to clean the black dye off. However they say that they need more dye to do the rest of the money, and they ask that you provide payment for more of the dye removal solution. All the while, the remaining $100 bills are not real, but copies. In turn, they hope that about time you look through the rest of the fake money and use the removal solution, they, the criminals would be long gone. Oh, and do not figure this out in their presence in a secret hotel room or office building somewhere, and it is more of them than you, and you are unarmed. Dangerous, dangerous, dangerous!
Also, in most of my research there seem to be alot of focus on Nigeria. there is a little emphasis on other West African countries. However, the Lord has told me that the scam artist or money fraud criminals are already aware of the negative attention that is drawn to Nigeria. Therefore the criminals are moving to other countries, and operating out of other countries in West Africa and other parts of the world.
The person who contacted me was supposedly from Sierra Leone. There are also fraud reports from Togo, Liberia, Zimbabwe and Japan. So, the criminals are in different countries now. Do not be surprised if they try to solicit you from countries in Europe, Asia, South America, or even the country of the United States. The fraud-scammers are always adapting, figuring out new ways to trick people. They are very intelligent with using software to forge things, as I mentioned in the earlier post. They have fooled banks. they have fooled prominent people before. I read a report where Nelson Mandela even got caught up in a money scam. So, it can happen to almost anybody.
Again they adapt by talking like a God fearing Christian. They use elegant and impressive speech such as the word "bequeath" or "bequest", meaning to hand down a will, or action taken to hand over a will. Be aware of examples the frauds use such as someone dying and there is a will, some kind of contract of purchasing goods from you, conversion of currency, fund transfer of a over-invoiced contract, below market crude oil sale, and sale of real estate.
The scam I was offered falls under the will, gift or charity category. Again the lady sounded like a Christian, her husband was murdered, She could not have children, she was dying of cancer and recently suffered a stroke. She also told me she "denied the Devil". So, she had multiple sufferings in her life, and I was supposed to fall for it. Well, I did not. Another thing, this series is not even about giving, but let me say this to everybody. Do not ever take a chance, and wait until you are dying or wait until your life is really bad, before you start trying to find God or give to God. You seek God and Give to God when things are good, and be thankful for God for his goodness to you in times of peace. I will talk more about that in a later post. I am going to close this post here, and move to part 5 of this series with primarily scripture references.

Christians, Warning To Christians-A Different Kind Of Attack Part III
Hello World:
This is part 3 of my warning to my Christian series, about money scammers; who have, and continue to try and rob Christian churches and ministries out of their money. When I did my research I found several documents on international money fraud and scam operations. It involved victims from all walks of life. So, the last week, I was doing alot of reading, which I normally do not care to do. However, the Lord wanted me to understand everything, and what happened to people, so, I can better explain it here.
For the most part when a person is trying to scam you out of any amount of money, and in this case millions of dollars; they are hoping that you will give them your account information. That means they would need your bank account number, your name, or business or church name, and routing number. This is common for money transfers anyway. The problem is that the person you are dealing with on the other side is a dishonest person. They are crooked. Now, also, you can smartly, which is what I was planning to do, open up a seperate account with just a minimum amount of money in it. However, as I will explain this still will not help defend you as well. True, your regular account would be seperate from the newly opened one with little money; However, once you get drawn deep into the scam you are going to be withdrawing your money from whatever you have due to financial loses.
If I go along and believe everything is okay, the scammers will have my name or business or church name, and address. Them having my name and address puts me at risk for physical violence. Also, if I establish an account that they have access to, and they can somehow remove me by killing me, they can use my account and address as a "point of legitimacy", to further their scam operation, and establish other money fraud cells that move from place to place.
Also, according to my research the scammers like to create delays, or cause unusual situations to arise that would hinder the sending of the $15 million, which DOES NOT EXIST anyways. One issue, would be unexpected taxes, transfer fees, lawyer fees, processing fees, anti-terrorism fees, etc needed to be paid on the scammers end, by which they would need me to help pay. Another issue would be that the scammer could be mysteriously "captured" or "jailed", and would be asking for financial help to get them out, so they can then retrieve the funds.
Another situation arises concerning the "person in the middle" handling the transaction, to which the bank President holds the money, until he is paid a percentage. Further fees and payments can arise, and the scammers would try to make me believe everything is legitimate and I am getting closer to obtaining all this money, all the while, AGAIN, the $15 million does not exist.
Sometimes the scammers can use "situations" and "circumstances" to literally drag out this fraudulent PROCESS FOR YEARS. In doing so, the scam artist would continue to try to reassure you that you will get your money. Sometimes, according to my research, they will pass your business dealings on to someone else, who supposedly will help get everything right for you. Your new business contact will mock the previous person as being no good, and make it seem like they are the real persons who can "FINALLY" help resolve your situation. Nevertheless, all those tactics are lies on top of lies from Satan.
Also, any time you, as an individual or church are offered money, by money orders or cashier's checks, and you are asked to wire money back it is MOST LIKELY a scam.
Let me throw this example in. Lets say the scammers was purchasing something from you for $6000, but they sent you $8000, and ask that you send back $2000. Well, if you wait a week, thinking the check or wire transfer is cleared with your bank, and you send them the $2000; then after three weeks, the bank discovers the $8000 check or wire transfer was bad, your bank will hold YOU responsible for the $2000 and fees and penalties incurred. Even if there is no purchase involved, and they send you any large amount of money, and they ask that you send some back, and you do; and afterwards, their check/wire-transfer is found to be bad. You will suffer paying penalties from that bad check/wire-transfer to your bank.
Another thing, the scammers will use every known officially looking document that you can think of in the world. they will use all sorts of official paperwork, in regards to government seals, taxes, legal issues, and banking procedures. You name it they got it produced, but it is all PHONY!
Any individual or church that gets involved with this, and who would be waiting for this large payoff, could be out of tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars. The person or church could get themselves into believing the scheme so much that they borrow money, and go into deep debt, for which several ministries and churches have to shut down.
Another thing, it was requested that, after I receive the $15mil, I withdraw some of the money and come to Sierra Leone. If I was to do that there is a high likelyhood I could be set up and killed. Also, churches if you send representatives to meet with people like this, know the risk of them possibly being murdered could happen. Which means you should not get involved with such a risk.
You go over to another country, and they speak another language, they already have you at a disadvantage. If or when you meet with the people who are supposedly giving you all this money, you then find out they are frauds, they can proceed to KILL YOU RIGHT THERE. They can shoot you, stab you to death, POISON your food, or poison you directly, drug you and or kidnap you and hold you for ransom. So, you can see just how bad this whole money scam is, and just how evil people are in this world. On top of that, like the person I was dealing with, was posing as a Born-Again Christian, and was saying all the right words. She was really in desperation "supposedly". However, I am going to tell all of you something, thank God for the Holy Ghost. You can not fool the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost will Alert the people of God. The Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit has alerted me, and I am here to alert all the rest of you.
Churches, Christians beware. Individuals, entreprenuers or businessmen and women beware. Senior citizens beware. Do your homework. Ask God to help you. Ask people you know to help you investigate. Also, Please, Please do not travel to these countries alone. If you are absolutely not sure, look at the risks to your life, your family and your church and DO NOT GO! STAY HOME! Protect what you already have, and protect the people in your life that are counting on you.
If for some reason you want to take a chance, have a back-up plan of escape. Space your travel companions and your movements, and if possible have security, in place for observation and strike capability . Also, have time-frames in place and contacts to check in every so often. Have a secret communication distress code. Be prepared to move fast, and get the Hell out of there if you have to. Ask God for Wisdom.
Okay, I am going to have what looks like a part 4 to this series of post coming up. I want to discuss just a little about the countries to where the scam criminals reside, and what countries to be suspicious of. Also, I want to briefly present a few examples of what has already happened to actual victims. I want to talk about the BLACK MONEY DYE scheme. I have some scriptures to present, and a warning, from the Lord, to the scammers. Also, I am planning to put up links to a few sites I have researched, so that
you and your church can do your own research into this matter.

Christians, Warning To Christians-A Different Kind Of Attack Part II
Hello World:
I am continuing part 2 of the last post, warning Christians about the international money scam/fraud that is out in the world. Previously I mentioned that my research has taken me back to the 1990s. However, people have been scammed out of money since ages past. The only thing here is that there is a different twist to the scam here. As I mentioned at the end of the last post, was that this person offering the $15 million, "is" or said they were a born-again Christian.
This person tells me, she is a widow, because her husband was murdered. Her husband was a doctor, who had accumilated great wealth. There was a dispute with his relatives, so he put the money($15-Mil) in a financial institution for security. It just so happens according to the lady, she suffered a stroke, and is dying of cancer. She is also barren. So she has no kids to inherit the money. Therefore, she wanted to find a church or individual who would use all the money for the Lord's work, i.e, church building, orphanages and widows. The lady does not have alot of time left to live, but hopes that she will get a miracle healing from God just before the stroke of midnight of her death.
So, the woman sounds like she is in dire need of help. She sounds very desperate and overtaken. Well, I have informed the woman that I needed to pray about this matter and everything she said and talk with my securities advisor. I told her I would like to help, and I know several ministries that could use that money for church building, orphans, widows and the poor. However, I told her I need a few days.
This is key folks to everything. I needed to pray and seek the Lord, and I needed some time to seek the Lord. So, we are talking about prayer and time with the Lord. I learned, especially these days it is important to seek the Lord about everything, and wait to hear back from Him.
The lady contacted me several more times, while I was seeking the Lord. Another thing I talked to my advisor, and He told me I need to withhold giving out identification to the person, and get as much information from them as I can, so that they can check everything to make sure the money was okay and the transfer would be okay. He also suggested I open a seperate account, from my regular accounts. So, I said okay. However, I did not do anything yet, but still was waiting to hear from the Lord on how I should proceed.
The lady contacted me again, and she really sounded good. Here is a few quotes she said to me; "Beloved in Christ", "Love and greetings to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ". Also, "God will save many souls", "always be prayerful all through your life", "Yours in Christ". This person sounded very much like a typical true, born-again Christian. She also, was not afraid of death, and was comfortable with were she was going. Although that part is going to change will quick. She was not going to be comfortable for long. Okay, I will not say all that transpired, but I want to give you a good idea of what I was presented with. A seemingly desperate, but harmless born-again believer, who out of a kind and generous heart, wanted to give all her money to the Lord.
Well, the Lord said not so fast. The Lord told me by His Spirit that this person is a fraud. Not only that, but it was not just one person behind it, but several people. There are certain things that the person did and said, that red-flagged her/them. On the surface everything she said sounded right, and I did not mention everything she said. However, she said many of the right things. However, the Holy Spirit was showing me something else about what the person was saying. I will not mention the specifics of what that was. The Holy Spirit showed me that this person and group served Satan and NOT Jesus.
These people primarily out of west African countries have scammed churches and individuals out of money. They have ruined Christian ministries, and still are trying to destroy ministries and the work of God. In other words, as good as that "lady" sounded, the Lord told me she/they are doing the exact opposite. This was a trap, and I would not have known, because the lady sounded like me and other born-again Christians. Also, even if the bank look into the transaction, which I did not even let it get that far after the Lord spoke; they, the bank, can be fooled. According to my research banks have been fooled. The only way, I was able to tell, and save alot of wasted time and lost money, was because the Holy Spirit helped me.
In turn, when the Lord spoke to me, I had not done all my research. He told me to begin sending out letters to several ministries I know, who could also pass the warning around. Then the Lord instructed me to continue to research the matter on my own, and to rebuke this person, and warn His people here. So, that is what I have done. This past week I completed my full research. My research cofirms what God showed me. I have documents now on money scams out of Nigeria and other West African countries. I have several testimonies of people who have been scammed. I will go a little into the documents in the next post. People have committed suicide, because they got caught up into this money lie.
The Lord told me those fraud or scam artist are professional liars. The new twist is they are posing as born-again Christians. So, it would be hard for church people or people who love the Lord to resist. In the next post, I will discuss how these scam artist operate on a scheme to suck you and your church or ministry in, to actually take lots of money from you and your church, and not give you anything.

Christians, Warning To Christians-A Different Kind of Attack
Hello World:
This post is big in its importance. I encountered another financial attack from the enemy a couple of weeks ago. I have heard of frauds and scammers before, but this type was particularly new to me. Thanks to the Holy Spirit I am victorious.
Christians, all Christians everywhere I am here today to warn you about a financial deception, that the enemy, Satan, is using to attack all God's people and His churches. It is from the same old enemy, but using what to me was a different attack I have not seen or heard of before, and I have been saved for over 20 years. Quite often here, you have and will see when you read my post, bash some of my fellow Christian brothers and sisters views on different issues according to how I feel the Lord has spoken to me or led me. So, several times you will notice, I am at odds with my fellow Christians, when I am trying to represent the truth. However, this is one of those times, when it counts so much, that the very existence of Christian ministries are on the line. This is one of those times that I stand firm with my fellow Christians. When it comes to giving or finances I must do everything I can to protect God's people, and God's churches.
I do not remember exactly if I said this, but I am many things for God. I want everybody to pay attention, I am more than just God's Emissary. I do other things for Him. One of those things is I protect certain things, people and groups. I will not go into all the details, but when I say the word, "protect", the meaning to that word and how I am used is vast. So, here I am acting as Yahweh's emissary and protector of His believers in Jesus Christ.
There is a international money scam operation that is taking place. This scam is not really new, but it changes ever so often. From my research, because I actually had to research this, it goes back to at least the 1990s. This money scam or fraud operations are from people or groups of people who go after individual citizens, heads of states, businesses, churches and charities. So, really any person or persons or companies with money or who receive a certain flow of money through accounts, especially, are targets. So, not just Christians. If you are not a Christian, or a believer, you can still benefit from this information. However, it is my duty to focus in on warning Christians, because of the connections I have with them. Christians are far from perfect, as I so often point out, but I will fight to keep the doors of God's churches open. I DO NOT want to see the church doors close, or individual ministries, or evangelism crumble, because God's people were trapped or tricked into losing all the church or ministry's finances.
Here is what happened to me. I received an email from an individual out of Sierra Leone. This person, a female whom I will not name, offered to donate to me $15 million to help in the work of the Lord. In fact the title of the first email from her was "Donation For The Lord". Now, this is a first for me, especially someone offering to give to me that large amount of money. The Lord blessed me through a person one time, and I was given a free car. However, we are talking 15 million dollars, from a person, that does not know me. I want to describe this email. I would add it here, but it was 3-pages long. However, the Lord wants me to describe what I was reading from this lady, so that you as a Christian, individual, or church group would know what to look for.
Now in addition to my blogging, I help out several other ministries who evangelize the gospel of Jesus Christ. These ministries I support do help the poor and the orphans. they pray for the sick, and all the things that God commands. So, I am looking at this email proposal. I am saying, man, this is something. I can use that amount of money to help alot of people for the Lord. Very important to note. I am not money hungry. I am not so easily taken aback by money. I need money just like everybody else, but it is not my life source. My life source is God.
It is God that I depend on. So, I am not greedy for money. If I can live comfortable that is fine. I really want to make sure everyone else, around me is alright financially. If everyone else I know is fine then I am happy. Now, believe me, I would be glad to have millions of dollars, and would definitely put it to good use. However, if I do not get millions of dollars, it is not the end of the world. God will take care of me, and have been faithful to me up to this point. Now, it turns out that this person wanting to donate $15 million dollars is a "Born-Again Christian". So, this is all sounding pretty good.
Okay this post has gone a little lengthy, I will proceed to a second part of this "Warning to all Christians". As you know, I have been trying to shorten each of my post down. You do not want to miss the second part of this post. Please get ready, because everything here and in the next post will expose a different and deadly kind of attack on Christians that is silently emerging.
This post is big in its importance. I encountered another financial attack from the enemy a couple of weeks ago. I have heard of frauds and scammers before, but this type was particularly new to me. Thanks to the Holy Spirit I am victorious.
Christians, all Christians everywhere I am here today to warn you about a financial deception, that the enemy, Satan, is using to attack all God's people and His churches. It is from the same old enemy, but using what to me was a different attack I have not seen or heard of before, and I have been saved for over 20 years. Quite often here, you have and will see when you read my post, bash some of my fellow Christian brothers and sisters views on different issues according to how I feel the Lord has spoken to me or led me. So, several times you will notice, I am at odds with my fellow Christians, when I am trying to represent the truth. However, this is one of those times, when it counts so much, that the very existence of Christian ministries are on the line. This is one of those times that I stand firm with my fellow Christians. When it comes to giving or finances I must do everything I can to protect God's people, and God's churches.
I do not remember exactly if I said this, but I am many things for God. I want everybody to pay attention, I am more than just God's Emissary. I do other things for Him. One of those things is I protect certain things, people and groups. I will not go into all the details, but when I say the word, "protect", the meaning to that word and how I am used is vast. So, here I am acting as Yahweh's emissary and protector of His believers in Jesus Christ.

Train Up A Child In The World We Live In Part 7
Hello World:
I had no idea I would have seven parts to this children's issue. I thought, at most I would have two parts. Believe me, I did not plan that many post on this one subject. I am just trying to go with the Lord's leading. I can explain things to the max, and this is how God uses me. I have been really trying to shorten each post as well. However, you would not know it, with the last several posts being an average 4 pages long. The last post, just before this one was 6-pages long. I really would like to have all my post 2-pages long at most, but so far, that is not working.
I think this post here will be short. This should close out this children's issue here for the time being. In the future, I will need to talk or post about neighbors. When I discuss neighbors, several things in this 7-part series of posts, here, I will revisit at that future time on neighbors. However, I do not have a specified date, as I wait to be led by the Lord on when to talk about things.
Now I will present some scriptures concerning children that the God of Heaven has given me to share with everyone. These scriptures will back-up or confirm everything I said in this children/teenagers series. I do not want to explain each scripture here from a theology standpoint. It will take more time than I want too. Besides, the Lord told me, that quite often, when He uses me to talk, I am teaching and preaching scriptures from more of a spiritual/practical level, than theological. He leads me to explain the spiritual meaning moreso.
I can teach alot of theology, but it would require more natural research, and even that which I already know, depending on the subject, could take weeks to months to fully explain. Although Christians are fully welcome here, and most Christians need to be here, to read my post from the Lord, I try to gear this blog to non-christians, and non-believers and non-church goers. So, I do not want to explain everything like this is church. I do not want to turn people off. I want people to see God in a new light. I want people to see a God who is real, a God who is alive NOW, ALWAYS and FOREVER, who cares, who speaks, and who is exciting to know.
Here are the scripture references concerning children:
Proverbs Chapter 22, Verse 6: "Train up a child in the way that he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.'
Proverbs 13:24: " He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes."
Proverbs 19:18 "Chasten thy child while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying.'
Proverbs 23:13 "Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die."
Proverbs 23:14 "Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell."
That is the word of the Lord.
Those scriptures are powerful. they contain great spiritual meaning in regards to the life of a child. Parents grab hold of this. Listen to the Lord, not to man. This concludes my detailed explanations concerning why I said what I said concerning dealing with unruly children and/or teenagers from "The Week That Was" post that began this series.
Coming up, I need to post something that will be a warning to all Christians, and all Christian churches. Please get ready for this, if you are a true Christan believer, you do not want to miss the upcoming post.

Train Up A Child In The World We Live In Part 6
Hello World:
I am continuing on about troubled teenagers from my last post. I will have to make a part 7 post after this. In part 7, I will present the scriptures that will backup alot of what I have been sayng. I know of two incidents in a certain popular part of the world, where two kids were shot, after they assaulted someone's property and a person that was driving a vehicle. One of those kids is dead from the gunshot. That kid decided it was a good idea to join his buddy and go out and throw eggs at passing cars on the road. Well, somebody took offense to it, and shot and killed the boy. To my knowledge, the shooter has not been caught.
People of the world, this is very serious. You will say, hey, but they are just kids, and kids do stupid things. They are innocent, because they do not know any better. The Lord has told me that is no excuse. I was taught when each of us, began to know right from wrong, which begins at a very young age, there is accountability. Children are accountable to God concerning right and wrong at a varying age. I can tell you that teenagers do go to hell, if they die in their sins. From 13 years and up for sure. There may be cases of younger ages.
I can only tell you from what I learned from research. I have never been to hell personally, but I do believe the sources that have been there and came back to talk about it. So, when a child grows into preteen and teenage years, they are not innocent. They know right from wrong. I also want to mention, the familiar gang activity, robberies, and new home invasions, where they rob people at gunpoint, make the person strip down, and tie them up. Then they take all their valuables and the person's car. that has become prevalent where I am at.
When I was a child/teenager/little kid, I never did anything close to that. I did not even have that in my imagination, to harm someone, anyway mentioned in this post or the previous post. For one thing, my father would have tore me a new behind. There is no way in hell, I was going to take some eggs, my father bought, or use money given to me, to buy food, and throw it at somebody to do harm. If my father would have known, he would have probably killed me. Keep in mind I did not grow up in a christian home. My relatonship with my father was not the best. Our relationship really did not keep me from doing evil or mischief. It almost forced me into joining a gang or hurting someone. However, my thing was to not do something wrong, because if I did and got caught, I was going to get the beating of my life. I could tell alot of stories about my upbringing that most of you could not even fathom. However, God knows.
Only by His miraculous hand I am a decent person today. I have been around trouble all my life, but because of God, I am not a product of it. God dealt with me before I was saved, or before I became born-again, and I did not know He was dealing with me. He spoke to me at length only recently about this. He showed things that happened to me, and how He used certain key things, that people pay no attention too to help shape who I am today.
Getting back to the food or egg throwing. I know alot of people from different parts of the world will read that, and say how can these kids waste food on silliness. Many people all over the world are starving to death, and there are places where children throw away food. It is a shame. It is evil. It is of Satan, and God will judge those children. Also, I do not like to call out to children here, because I talk of an adult nature. I do alot of heavy hitting here. My blog description says this is controversial. So, in other words, be prepared to read something exciting when you come to this blogsite.
Nevertheless, just talking to kids or specifically, teenagers; how would you like it if you were talking to your girlfriend, and someone came up to you and threw raw eggs on you? How about if you were all dressed up in your nice suit, that mommy bought, and you guys were going to church on Sunday morning, and someone hit you and your mother with raw eggs, shell and all? Kids; I'm not done yet. Would if you were heading to a dear relatives funeral one morning or afternoon, all dressed up, and someone drove up and hurled raw slimy eggs all over you and your parents car? If all those scenerios happened to you, would you feel good about any of that? I do not think so. You probably would feel like most people; angry, hurt, humiliated and embarrassed. To you the parent(s), these are the kinds of things you need to talk to your children about. You need to spend the time with them, or make sure that they have a positive figure around them, to help them think about those types of things., and realize the importance of love, respect, responsibility and consequences of their actions.
Another thing, parents God supports whipping or beating your children as punishment. I will present scriptures in part 7 of the next post that support whipping your children.. There are advocacy groups, and you got the courts and the laws are against whipping your child in many places. Alot of people's lives have been shattered because of the legal system that protects bad or unruly juveniles.
People, who had normal lives, trying to live decent and minding their own business, one day or after numerous days had to defend themselves or their property against some teenagers being used by the devil. When The hardworking respectable person did what they had to do for peace of mind, they were either pointed out by witnesses, or a slip of the tongue, and got arrested. Next thing, that person has lost his or her job. Their family has no income. They lose everything they had. The person now has a criminal record on file, and is not hire-able. All the lives or people that person touched are now negatively affected. All because of the way the laws is set up.
Nobody thinks about that stuff. Many of these people are decent people, who are just trying to make a decent living and mind there own business. The real criminals, the kids, has nothing happen to them. They have just severely ruined the life of someone else. God sees all of this from the teenagers, their parents, the police who will claim as their excuse, that they are just responsible for enforcement and are innocent in the legal system. God sees the persons who made the laws. God sees the witnesses. He sees and knows about all the tragedy and injustice. Those groups and courts and the legal systems are against God, and God will make sure there will be hell to pay.
Therefore, parents you must ask God, as a parent, how and when to whip your child. Discipline and beating your child are important. However, you have to balance it with love. It is not a good thing to always be harsh to kids. I know personally, and I was a decent kid, compared to today's kids. You must show them how to love and respect other people. They need to know that God rewards love and punishes wickedness. It is also important to encourage your kids to do good things. Encourage your kids to be a good success with what they want to do in life. Ask God to give you, as the parent, a vision for your kids. DO NOT TALK DOWN TO YOUR KIDS, when they make a mistake. Comfort them in their error, but do not condone it. Be supportive, and DO NOT COMPETE AGAINST YOUR OWN CHILDREN. Allow God to use them in their gifts, even if they will be better than you. Do not be jealous of what God is doing with your children.
Again, as concerning discipline, much of this discipline is better enforced when the child is young, when you can instill in them the fear of the Lord. If children experience that pain from being whipped, they will not want to experience it again. they will behave, and realize through your teaching as parents, the pain they can cause another person, and why it is important not to cause pain on another. In turn, they will treat others the way they will want to be treated. They will respect you, respect others, respect themselves and respect God. Hence, we will have better neighborhoods, and our society as a whole will be better to live in.
Teenagers, everything in life is not funny. It is not funny when a righteous or decent person goes to jail, because of the mess you started. It is not funny to the God of the universe when one person is hurt in anyway. Being cruel and mean to people will land you in hell very quick. Hell is a place of everlasting pain and torment. You child if you die in your sins will go to hell, and there is no leaving ever. There is no mommy down in hell. That body you have is not invincible. You and your gang of buddies can be gotten. You can be taken down. Most of you teenagers do not own anything of great value, and you have no right to damage or destroy something somebody else owns. Just because you are young, does not make it right. You do not dictate, and you do not run the show. In the world we live in, there are people who will stand against your foolishness. There are people in the world we live in, who do not fear you, or your gang, or the laws that protect your foolishness. Turn from your wicked ways, while God has been merciful enough to spare your life. Ask Jesus into your heart to change you. Ask the God of Heaven and earth to help you be a blessing to your family and others, and to help you become a righteous person.

Train Up A Child In The World We Live In Part 5
Hello World:
Several posts back I mentioned about some problem kids in my neighborhood, and somethings that I will do to them, that might jeapordize my ministry work for the Lord. The Lord informed me that I need to explain in detail what I meant to people who have children, and those who do not, who do not understand what I meant. In other words, the Lord is saying many people do not have a clue, and they will take my comments as if, I cold-bloodedly, want to harm some sweet innocent kids. That is not true, Therefore I need to explain, from it looks like 6 to 7 posts back.
Now, in recent post I talked about little children around ages 10yrs to 8yrs and under. That is not the case here, except for one small reference in scripture. I want to talk about teenage kids, from around 13 and up, but no less than 11 years. So, from around 12 or 13 to 18 years old primarily upper grade and high-schoolers.
Currently, where I reside there are teenagers, who are very bold as to go around and assault people and/or vandalize other people's property. I have a list of examples, of what I have seen, and heard from others who are my neighbors, and who were victims of these older, bigger kids.
First, there are teenagers who have thrown raw eggs at adults. there are teenagers who have taken markers and marked up people's vehicles. Teenagers who have thrown juice bottles at vehicles, and on other people's property. Teenagers, who have taken trash from their homes and from dumpsters, and thrown trash all out on streets, and yards. There are teenagers who have physically tried to kick in doors of senior citizens. There are teenagers who slapped senior citizens. I have had several old folk tell me that specific kids have assaulted either them or their property.
There is a incident where I was informed of, by several witnesses, where a group of teenagers set a ladies car on fire. other teenagers throwing rocks at people's houses. There was an incident where a female landlord had to tell a teenage girl, to get off the property, because she was trespassing, the mother of the child went off on the landlord. There are other incidents. Someone vandalized my vehicle several times, the last time I know it was some kids, I just did not catch them in the act. However, I confronted all 5 of them in way, on their property, to let them know, I know where to get them, there mother and their neighbors next door, and many ways how to get them. I haven't had any problems since. I told you in that post a few weeks back, I know how to do damage. I have at least 5 ways, I could end every one of those teenagers careers.
Well, many of you will say, what about the police? Well, the police have done absolutely nothing. they will take a report and that is it. If something happens to one of those kids, the first person the police will investigate is you, who gave a report before. So, it is better not to say anything, by contacting the police. Or have someone else contact them, or call the police anonymously, from a untraceable phone. That way, if you have to defend yourself, whatever you do to those teenage kids will not be linked back to you.
Another question people will have is, yeah, but christians do not go around hurting people, you suppose to turn the other cheek, and forgive. Just because you or I am a christian, does not give any kid, or anybody the license or right to assault you in any way. Christians or God's people are not punching bags, to be played with. Scripture Ref: 2 Kings Chapter 2: Verse 22: "So the waters were healed unto this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spake." Now there, God had just finished using the prophet Elisha in a mighty miracle. But then afterwards; Verse 23: "And he went up to Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head.
Verse 24: "And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.
Verse 25: "And he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria."
Okay, those scriptures referenced little children. There is some debate from scholars, as to how not so little they were. However, that is what the scriptures said, so, I go with that; and use that as an example. The example that God's people, especially, His anointed are nobody to play with or even speak harmfully to. God's people are not a game, for the wicked to have fun with. That is a favorite story of mine in the Bible. It makes for interesting reading. I need to close this post and prepare for part 6 next. I like hearing about justice and vindication for the righteous. I do not like the victim stories, where God's people get walked on. Let's kick some butt. Joshua, David and Sampson, kicked alot of Butt for the Lord in the scriptures, and those scriptures count. They are not to be ignored. So, do not tell me that God's people can't fight.

The World We Live In Part 4, Jesus and the Little Children
Hello World:
I am very excited about this Resurrection weekend. I do want to say several things before I mention some things about Jesus. First, something came up in the middle of this week. I did not say anything here about it, but it almost ruined my holiday weekend. So, I prayed to the Lord about it and I let my disapproval be known to some people. The situation was very much going to happen. Well, today the Lord answered my prayer and it will be a good holiday weekend.
As you remember I recently discussed little children in Heaven, and how God wants us to become like a little child, in several ways, to be able to enter Heaven. Another thing about little children down on earth, that the Lord reminded me of, is that many little children are friendly and they like to greet people. Especially, from my experiences, little children say, "hello" or "hi" to me; and I smile at them and say hello or hi back. Well, this same kind of greeting goes on alot in Heaven. People up in Heaven always greet each other.
People do not ignore each other up in Heaven. There are no rolling of eyes. There is no person looking at you, like, what are you speaking to me for. In Heaven, they do not look at you like you are a alien or something strange when you speak. In Heaven there is no anger, jealousy, bitterness, animosity, hatred or hatefulness or envy. So, for the people who do not like to speak to people, or say hello, if you want to get to Heaven, you are going to have to change your attitude. You do not have to be perfect, there are problems in speaking to some people, because their heart is not right with God; to whom the same, I try to seperate myself from. However, if someone greets you, you should definitely greet them back.
It is the friendly attitude of little children, with no prejudice, whatsoever, that is very important for a person to be able to enter Heaven. Now, important to note, being friendly like a little child, does not save anybody. Every person absolutely must accept Jesus, and allow Him to change their heart like a child's heart, so that they can be compatible with Heaven's environment. That is why Jesus said, "except ye be converted". Therefore, being like a little child, at heart, is a part of truly accepting Jesus and being able to enter Heaven. In other words, it is more than just lip service, saying Lord, Lord. I will talk about lip service in the future.
About Jesus. Well, I was asking the Lord about how I wanted to say something special about Him, because this is one of His famous weeks in human history. Well, some lyrics to a song kept coming to my mind. The song is called "Jesus, Lord To Me". This is not my song, so, that is why I am putting it in quotes. The song is from (YHM/BMC), and many people have song it. I believe I first heard this song, back in 1991 or 1992.
I had came in from a church service on Sunday afternoon. I had been born-again for sometime already. Well, a favorite christian program of mine was on the television. So, I watched their church service after I had just been in one. Well, during the praise and worship service, there was this young lady who started singing this song, and God really ministered to me that afternoon. so, I went searching for that song to buy it. I found it. I will be playing it this weekend. The lyrics goes like this;
"If I had seen the sunset, on the day that Jesus died
And felt the glow of the sunrise
When the tomb was opened wide
Would I have known you, could I have seen
That you were more than just a man
You were Lord and King
But now I know you and I can see
That you are Lord of all, you are Lord to me
Jesus, Jesus, Lord to me
Master, Savior, Prince of Peace
Ruler of my heart today
Jesus, Lord to me"
I sometimes wondered what if I was around during the time Jesus walked the earth. The question is would I have known Him? Could I have seen who Jesus really was? If I was there, could I have figured it out like his disciple Peter did? I think it would have been an incredible experience being around the Son of God. Seeing all the miracles take place. Jesus is a person I would have wanted to know in any time period. I must admit though, I do not think I could allow him to be crucified without fighting for Him, trying to protect Him.
I do not like to see anyone being mistreated. I would have been right with Peter, when Peter grabbed the sword and chopped off that soldier's ear to protect Jesus. It would have been hard for me. In fighting to protect Jesus, I would actually have been going against God's plan to save mankind. Jesus would have had to rebuke me like he did Peter. However, I'm telling you it would be very tough. I could not just sit back, look and do nothing. So, here I am today, thanks to Jesus. Jesus is all I need.
Scripture Ref: St. John 6:35:
"And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst."
Jesus gives everlasting life to the souls of men(mankind).
Jesus conquered death and the grave.
Jesus is alive, Jesus is risen.
Jesus is the risen savior.
Jesus is my Lord, Savior and Friend.
The Lord is good to me.
In the world there is much persecution, but He has overcome the world. Again, the Lord is good! The Lord is good! The Lord is good!
Thank you Lord for saving me. I appreciate You, and it is a great honor to serve thee, my Lord, Jesus.

The World We Live In Part III, Children In Heaven
Hello World:
I hoped to finish clarifying my previous views on children in the earlier posts here in part 3, however, as you will see there does plan to be a part 4 sometime after this. I want to go back to my post from yesterday, and talk about one of those incidents. The incident were I was in the store, and the little girl was looking at me and said, "look mom, a man". I told you that was my favorite incident. I was thinking about that today while at work. Now, this happened a few years ago. When that girl said that several things came to my mind then, and the Lord brought it to my rememberance.
For one, the way, the girl said it was like her seeing a man was rare in her life. I wondered that there has to be other men around the girl at sometime. And she also said it like I was authentic, like I was a very good image in defining what a man look like. Then, I wondered even in the store, was I the only authentic looking man walking around, there had to be others. She was very candid or frank about it. Then I thought, she could have said I was something else. So, that was so funny to me, how little children can be, and you never know what her mother is telling her at home about men. So, I was thinking of that, and I am telling you, and you may see me repeat this, I really wish I was still a little child. Sometimes I wish I had not grown up into a man; and I am as manly as one can be, but I have been called things and complimented on things. However, what that little child said to her mother, "look mom, a man" has to be one of the best things said about me, and I cherish it as a compliment. That is a classic statement. I realize that God has made me grow up into the man I am for His purpose. The Lord knows I know how to take care of business.
Now, moving along, remember also, in my last post, there was scriptures concerning children in Heaven. Jesus said, that we have to become as little children, or we can not enter into the kingdom of Heaven. Now here I do not want to elaborate a whole lot on Heaven. However, I want to say somethings. There is alot to Heaven I do not know about. However, I did learn somethings about Heaven from studying scriptures, and from researching personal testimonies that I believe to be credible.
Heaven, is a paradise. It is the ultimate of the ultimate places of bliss. It is a place of complete and everlasting happiness. It is a real place that exist. It is a place with mansions, there is food there, there is all kinds of transportation there. it is a place of color and beauty, flowers and gold. it is a place that has all the good things of earth, but on a very much more advanced level. Heaven is a place of activity. There is alot to do in Heaven. There are records, or documents in Heaven. There is music in Heaven. It is a place of unlimited fun, and there are alot of children up there having fun.
Children know how to have fun and enjoy things, down here on earth. Most little children are open to explore new things, and are humble, and are willing to learn. Little children are open to grow, mentally, physically and spiritually. That is the way older teenage children and adults need to be to enter into Heaven. Many people when they get a certain age, feel that they know so much, that no one can tell them anything. Many people when they grow up to be adults feel that they are too old to enjoy themselves or really have fun.
Now, I may explain more about this at another time, but the key to all this that Jesus is saying is that you will not be allowed in Heaven if you think you know more than God, or everbody else. If you supposedly have so much experience, until you are not excited about the things of God , and the things of God bores you, then you will not be going to Heaven. there is alot going on up in Heaven.
Heaven is more than just smoke and clouds. I want to repeat what I said above in this post, but with more emphasis. That is, there is everlasting things to do and enjoy in Heaven, unending or never-ending joy, peace and happiness but you and I have to be humbled like a little child to be able to receive it. Now, I did not expect to say all that about Heaven. I was trying to be brief. I still have not said it all. I will cover more about Heaven at a later date. However, that is what Jesus means by being like a little child. These last couple of posts were primarily discussions about little children, and more important to note that Jesus said, "But whoso shall offend one of these LITTLE ONES WHICH BELIEVE IN ME". That was Jesus talking about little children, and also THOSE WHO BELIEVE in Him. That is especially talking about actual little children who accept him, but also two-fold as referring to ALL HIS BELIEVERS both adults and children. Even still, we should be careful and strive to "not" offend any children or anybody in general.
Now, I sort of went deeper into some things here, today, that I did not plan to. I am moving towards discussions and my explanations about dealings with bigger children or teenage children, to whom I am referring to in "The Week That Was Post" several posts back. So, in that post, to which the Lord want me to further explain to many for clarification, I was not referring to the little children that Jesus was talking about and blessed in scripture. So, I hope I at least made that clear.
I will explain alot with scriptures about dealing with unruly, undisciplined and demon-possessed, older teenage children soon. I will explain how they affect the world we live in today. Okay, I want to do some special things for the Lord, because this is one of His famous holiday weeks, in several parts of the world. Therefore, all of you who read my post, might see a totally different post in the next several days; and because of my excitement about the Lord and this time of the year, I might proceed with this "The World We Live In" post part 4, next week, after the holidays, maybe. That is what I am looking at. We will see. In any event, I do plan to come back to this topic, and go into the older children. This coming Resurrection Sunday is also my anniversary "of sorts" as to when I officially accepted the Lord Jesus. I say "of sorts" because It was on this holiday, but in a year that was later in the month. This year the holiday is very early in the month. So, I will continue, I just have to go how the Lord leads me.
I hoped to finish clarifying my previous views on children in the earlier posts here in part 3, however, as you will see there does plan to be a part 4 sometime after this. I want to go back to my post from yesterday, and talk about one of those incidents. The incident were I was in the store, and the little girl was looking at me and said, "look mom, a man".

That is what I am looking at. We will see. In any event, I do plan to come back to this topic, and go into the older children. This coming Resurrection Sunday is also my anniversary "of sorts" as to when I officially accepted the Lord Jesus. I say "of sorts" because It was on this holiday, but in a year that was later in the month. This year the holiday is very early in the month. So, I will continue, I just have to go how the Lord leads me.

The World We Live In Part II, God Bless The Little Children
Hello World:
It is back to The World We Live In Part II. There are some things I need to explain concerning children or kids in our world. In my last post, I talked about a very recent experience with the presence of God. I want to discuss briefly another experience involving kids. Get ready! Jesus is talking in these scriptures;
St. Matthew 18-Chapter: Verse 3:"....Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven."
Verse 4: "Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven."
Verse 5: "And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me."
Verse 6: But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me , it were better for him that a milestone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea."
St. Matthew Chapter 19; verse 14: "But Jesus said, Suffer little children and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven."
Verse 15: "And he laid his hands on them and departed thence. Also, some scriptures says that Jesus blessed them.
Scripture Refs: Matthew 18: 10; "Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven."
Mark Chapter 10; Verse 15: "Verily I say unto you, whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.
All those scriptures are important references to little children. Alot of people see themselves as precious, or of great value; however, they oftentimes overlook children as being important. Children are the future, and God does not overlook children. Children are small, and innocent to the ills of society. They are also, very sensitive and fragile spirituality, and naturally. The angels take notes as to how the little children are being treated, and they are before God constantly, as to how to minister to the children. Therefore, it is important for us, adults, to give care and attend to the needs of children. We should give little children attention and care.
In one of the scriptures I quoted, Jesus said for us to NOT despise the little children, or to not look down upon with disrepect, disdain or disgust. With that being said, a few weeks back, I was walking in a store, and I was passing a couple with two little kids. The kids were inside the shopping cart. As I was walking by, both kids said hello, so, I said hello back, and it was like the presence of God came all over me. The parents thought they were in the way, and they apologized, but there was not a problem. Quite often I have had little children speak to me, and I talk to them, but never have I felt God's presence hit me like that.
I do not initiate conversation with children, most times they speak to me, first. I used to work at a place that had alot of families or people with children. Well, alot of times I would be exhausted, or more like whipped from working so hard all day. I mean there were times when I was really whipped. I also would be focusing in on my task, and I would have little children come up to me and ask me questions, or speak to me, and it would not be in relation to the job.
Well, no matter how I felt, being battered, pounded and bruised from the hard days work, I gave the children attention, and I talked to them. One time I was having a rough physical day working, and I had this little girl come up to me, and give me something, she wanted me to have. I took it and told her thank you. I really appreciate that little girl doing that. Her parents were looking at her like why did she do that? It caught me and them off guard, but I had to focus, and show the girl that it was nice of her to do that, and not push her away or blow her off. I sincerely did appreciate her gesture, and I know that God wants our hearts to right towards how we treat little children.
I had another situation, where again I was very tired from working hard, and I was helping a family, and the little boy was talking to me about video games, and I was telling him how advanced the systems are today, and that he was better at them than I was, because I was used to the older video games. So, he was laughing. he said I was a funny man.
A personal favorite incident of mine , was one time I was in a store, and this child was looking at me, and she said, "look mom, a man". The mother said, yes, I see. Personally, I really thought that was funny, even to this day. That was especially precious to me. The thing is, I never was mean to the children, I never said, "shut up', "get out of my way", or "what are you giving me that for"? I sincerely wanted the children to feel that they were important. Now I have just manage to talk about little children here; and I am talking, about children ages under 10 years old in my estimation. I need to close out this post. However, when I get to the next post, it will be part 3 of this post. In part III, I need to discuss little children in Heaven. Then I will discuss, the bigger teenage children, which is a totally different story. So, I am getting to all the explanations, I feel I have the okay from the Lord to prepare Part III in the coming days.

The World We Live In
Hello World:
For some reason, it seems Like I have been away for a long while. It must be the Lord leading me to be here at certain times. I do feel that I need to have extra time off beween posts; from time to time, for research purposes and increasing my focus on seeking the Lord. The post here "The World That We Live In", is a spin-off post to the post "The Week That Was". In The Week That Was post, I said some radical things about kids or children, and I feel led by the Lord to explain what I said about kids. He told me alot of people do not understand, nor can relate to what I said, so I need to explain it in details. He said especially alot of people with children, do not get what I said, because they are in favor of their children, and they need further explanations on the matter. Another thing, as I am posting this, my system keeps freezing up on me, so I have to be careful to keep saving this as I type. I had to restart three times already.
Moving right along. Incidentally, after I posted "The Week That Was", something happened to me. I hope it happens again and again. Last week after I posted that post, I was praising and worshipping the Lord, and the Lord visited me with His presence. I kind of want to be cautious in explaining this, because it is personal. So, I do not want to offend the Lord, but I think it is okay to talk about this somewhat. I was praising and worshipping the Lord, and His presence came in the room, very strong and upon me. It was a very good feeling. It was a strong ecstatic, heavenly feeling. I am very much familiar with God's presence, so I know what it feels like. Also, VERY, VERY IMPORTANT TO NOTE, this feeling is WITHOUT the use of drugs.
When I had my eyes closed for the first time, I could see angels dancing and praising the Lord in the spirit; which me seeing that was a first. I opened my eyes and could not see them in the natural or physical. However, I could sense the presence of angels in the room, and God's presence very strong. And the Lord spoke to my spirit, telling me that He approves of me and what I am doing. It was an awesome experience. It is what happened. I do not think I will always talk about things like that all the time. I'm telling you it was something, and if you are sincere with the Lord in your heart to please Him, you can experience His presence as well. Surely, God does inhabit the praises of His people. I was suppose to go into my explanation concernng kids or children, because God does want me to explain that. What will happen is I will explain somethings concerning children or kids in the next post, which will be part 2 of this coming soon. I do have scriptures to present as well. I do want to talk very briefly about how I experienced God's presence when I encountered some children. That I will also do in the next post. "Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord".
