One of my many favorite songs, and a great album!
– –
I commit my heart to the heavens
I am here to praise your name
I remember the exact moment when I first heard this song — because it blew me away!!!
About 15 years ago, I was filling equipment outside in the dark winter, ramp lights turned on, with the fuel truck at NWA air freight, which had a radio. I heard this and was stunned!!! I called the radio station when I got inside to hear who it was, and then bought the CD.
The Bible says to “LOVE the Lord, your God, with *ALL* of our HEART, SOUL, MIND and STRENGTH!” To me, the audio here partly achieves this. If we’re going to worship God then let’s really worship!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The audio was probably recorded in the studio, and the video portion was reenacted; though, a nice story. The girl had been wandering, and found wholesome truth in Christmas.
It’s not just the soaring electric guitar. Something is spiritually right here; even though, some of the musicians may not even be Christians.
The heart and soul of this likely comes from the blonde, guitarist leader, probably the guy on the left. I have this DVD too, but haven’t watched it for awhile.
Outstanding, especially the worship factor of the audio!

Earth people, (this is love)

This is love calling, (this is love)
Please come in, (this is love calling Earth)
I want to be your friend.
I have been around you since the world began,
I have even visited you and walked upon your land,
I have known your leaders down through history,
Some have made the effort to communicate with me.
Earth people, (this is love)
Please come in, (this is love calling Earth)
I am not alien,
This is love calling, (this is love)
Please come in, (this is love calling Earth)
I want to be your friend.
I don’t want to harm you; it’s the last thing on my mind,
I just want to share my love with all of mankind,
When your heart is broken, and the world has been unkind, I’ll pick up the pieces and I’ll give you peace of mind.
(this is love)
(this is love calling Earth)
(come in, come in, come in)
(this is love)

Scientists are seeking immortality,
Astronauts are searching the skies for our destiny,
It’s not complicated, what this planet needs: love is still the answer to life’s mystery.
Earth people, (this is love)
Please come in, (this is love calling Earth)
I am not alien,
This is love calling, (this is love)
Please come in, (this is love calling Earth)
I want to be your friend.

I don’t know how much of this is humility, but to me, being concerned with WHAT is right is just how I’m wired. It’s just normal.
I don’t understand those who run from the truth for whatever reason.
We need to live in reality to be in unity.

As an ex-witch, Beth would be more aware about how much demons really do affect people. Here, she discusses the importance of praying in tongues so people can be set free!
I’ve been praying this way for others since the early ’80s, and have experienced THOUSANDS of deliverances!
Beth correctly says:
“Tongues is perfectly releasing the prayers that need to be prayed for those people.”
Any Christian can do this.
I have a category here on my spiritual blog called “Pray Perfectly in Tongues.”
I’ve long been earnestly trying to figure out why most run away from the truth, since I’m not wired that way at all. I think John B. Wells’ guest nails it. People are running away from their Conscience — with dire consequence!

Freedom quote transcribed by Jeff Fenske from Caravan to Midnight, Ep. 487 – 3-11-16
Joe Plummer comes aboard with admonitions for preserving national sovereignty.
* * *
John B. Wells:
“What turned you into an activist? … What was the aha moment?”
Joe Plummer [not: ‘Joe the Plumber’]
“It’s an issue of refusing to ignore your conscience. And some people seem to have that problem….
When you see something that is so inexcusably illegitimate and wrong, something in you won’t allow you to let it go, so you fight it [what is wrong].
I, like most people, had been raised under the assumption that government was legitimate, that it impeded predatory behavior, and was there to serve our interests. And once I started to realize that it was the most atrocious lie I had ever been told I became initially pretty angry, and then at some point I realized I was only poisoning myself with that anger. So I tried to take a more balanced view of all of it. But at the same time, still, the drive to fight it is just irresistible, because I can’t imagine anything else.
If I were to just try to accept that what we have is all there is going to be and live with it I’d have to kill part of who I am.”
John B.:
“In closing, Joseph, what is your message to the world?”
Joe:
“Obey your conscience.”

I was just explaining online that Romans 7 refers to life BEFORE the Son, and pointed out that one of my professors at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, Bruce Ware, taught this to us in class. I thought I’d see if I could find him discussing this online, and found this.

My still uninformed thoughts on Romans 7
[By Ryan Wolfe]
..there are many controversial passages in Romans that have ultra-conservative commentators in the exact same theological streams forming drastically different opinions.
One such case is the passage in Romans 7. …
Are verses 15-25 talking about the Christian life or the Non-Christian life. Even the camp that says 7:7-25 refers to Paul are split between those who think it is referring to him BEFORE his conversion and those who believe it is referring to him AFTER conversion. This is a touchy subject for some people. Bruce Ware thinks the right interpretation of this passage is a really big deal. Holding the position that this passage is referring to Israel in an unregenerate condition, he believes that many Christians are wrongly using this passage to justify defeat in their lives. …
The arguments that it is referring to Non-Christians are compelling:
(1) Paul, in Romans 6 and 8 says that we are NOT slaves to sin. (“The law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.”) So, how could he say here, in 7:14 that we are “sold under sin” and in 7:23 that we are “captive to the law of sin”? As Bruce Ware points out: Paul is not talking about an internal struggle – he’s talking about abject captivity and submission. “Not the ability to carry it out” (7:18b)
(2) The structure of Romans 7-8ff indicates this. 7:5 is about the non-Christian and is parallel to 7:7-25. 7:6 is about the Christian and is parallel to Romans 8:1 and following. Thus, 7:7-25 is referring to non-Christians.
Before being born-again, under the law: “about the non-Christian and is parallel to 7:7-25”:
Romans 7:5 For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were through the law worked in our members to bring out fruit to death.
“About the Christian and is parallel to Romans 8:1 and following”:
Romans 7:6 But now we have been discharged from the law, having died to that in which we were held; so that we serve in newness of the spirit, and not in oldness of the letter.

Recently, I had a dream in which I was sharing the truth about women in leadership over men in the church. I found this video today, and thought I’d share Len’s statement.
I have personally often seen women trying to run churches through their husbands or directly. This is clearly one of the key factors keeping Jesus’ John-17, heart-desire of ‘ONE’ from happening among us.
God made men and women very differently, with specific strengths and weaknesses. To buck God’s order in the church (and in the home) is to buck God Himself, causing dysfunction. “Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft.”
I’ll include some of my male/female posts below.

Sins that must be repented of:
#6 The Violation of God’s Government and Divine Order
“The violation of God’s government, authority and divine order in leadership and authority by men and organizations that are ordaining women as pastors and bishops…in leadership.
God ordained men to be in position and responsibility, positions of leadership and covering and authority, both in the home, the family and in the local church.
Who are you to change that? God ordained men into those positions of leadership, not women.”

I’m glad this deer TOTALLY gets FREE! My concern would be the deer would pull himself/herself away before the job was done. Looks like the deer was cut badly, trying to free him/herself.
I was thinking about this video this morning, while praying specifically for a number of people. Many are BOUND by actual demons, and praying in the Spirit for people can help FREE them.
And many wish (pray/James-3 curse) that people would be against people, which happens to me many times every day. When we pray for the bullies the people they have cursed get FREE!!! I believe this could be easily clinically proven someday.
I’ve been praying in the Spirit for people since the early ‘80s.
One of the great deceptions in these last days is the widespread ignoring of the effect that demons have on people, which is totally unlike what was taught and practiced in the New Testament. The result is that most Christians now have many demons in them, affecting them directly, even making people sick and lethargic, which I prove can happen here:
Can a Christian Have a Demon? Absolutely! Most Have Many!
I believe that’s why Paul prayed in tongues more than anyone, to get FREE. He was a point man who was James-3 cursed a lot. This prophecy partially describes what’s going on and ways to get free:
Getting right with those we’ve hurt can FREE us from guilt and condemnation too. This is an important video in many ways. I’ve been pushing for a permanent Asbury to happen, ONE can happen, perhaps starting here in Anchorage, once key people get right with those they’ve hurt — especially one key person, who seems to be holding up this FREEDOM fest. I don’t know what he’s waiting for. I’d be scared to death to die with guilt on my conscience.
Jesus said we need to reconcile (Mt. 5 & Jn. 17). Paul did it (Acts 24:16):
“Herein I also practice *always* having a conscience void of offense toward God and men.” (Acts 24:16)
Our consciences must be clean when we see Jesus face to FACE!:
Imagine what a permanent Asbury would be like. Awesome video here!:
To Be FREE!!!!!!!

Notice, her abuse happened in a church — that probably looked okay on the outside….
The spiritual darkness has been so deep and their methods so sophisticated that most of the politicians have been compromised in some way — which required full-of-integrity, Holy-Spirit-led Christians to be able to thwart. And sadly, we haven’t had and don’t have enough.
I met Brice at a mind-control conference in ’99. I felt like I needed to learn more about this issue to be able to help stop it. Because it’s in many ways Satanically, demon driven, prayer can and has played a big role in limiting its effectiveness, I’m convinced.

I was a psych major for about a year during my three years in the ’70s at the University of Minnesota. I discovered how sick and disjointed their version of psychology was. It made no sense to me, and I couldn’t figure out why it was so perverted. This video explains much of the reason why.
Ted Pike has shown how Judaism is largely based on the Talmud and Kabbalah, which is filthy and racial supremacist. Jesus warned:
This is at the heart of what’s destroying America. We’re bringing this filth into our homes through TalmudVision, and we’ve learned it in school. It’s important to get a handle on this very important principle.
It comes from Satan’s hatred of Christ. The Illuminati want to destroy US in order to dominate the world — a key goal in the Talmud:
Ted Pike: The Jewish Kabbalah – Root of Mideast Violence — Kabbalah’s description of Gentiles as ANIMALS who must be slaughtered before “ORDER” can be restored helps explain not only Israel’s notorious MISTREATMENT of her Arab neighbors but also JEWISH POWER worldwide in *government*, *finance*, and *media*!
Demonic forces are behind this, and drive porn, hatred and greed. The Jews are getting deceived and destroyed too!

Sigmund Freud is credited as being the father of the Sexual Revolution. He [stated] that he found sexual morality “contemptible.” In fact Freud was a Jewish supremacist and Stalwart Zionist who saw himself like Hannibal conquering Rome, (Rome signifying the Church and European morality). This video show how the Jewish dominated media has promoted a destruction of higher human values. It shows from mainstream Jewish sources how resentment against Europeans and Christians is a motivating factor in promoting sexual degeneration and even pornography.

I experienced this in an elder’s meeting at Abbott Loop in the late ’90s. JESUS IS GRIEVED by what has happened, and the lack of willingness to repent!
Josh prayed a prayer, mentioning reconciliation, and this horrible agony came over me in which I cried out in this great pain that Jesus’ shared with me, and expressed through me!!!
Carter got up and put his hand on my shoulder….
Many of the elders may not have know where that came from, but Jesus was sharing how He feels because of the “lives slain at Abbott Loop,” and the leaders act like everything is okay — trying to cover up!
He wants His people….
Jesus’ heart is really, REALLY AGONIZING!
What Gary Clark Jr. expresses through his guitar here is just a taste of THE AGONY JESUS FEELS right now.
Most don’t realize.
REALLY serious!!!
And we can do something about this — and turn this thing around!
‘ONE’ will happen, “that the world will know” (Jesus’ heart-cry in John 17)! And we’ll be FREE for the world to SEE!!!!!!!

Let Us Be ONE, Part 3 of 33
Jesus’ Heart-Cry: Let Us Be One
Let us be one. My cry is out to you to come near. I want My people, please? May we be one. I need you to pray, to fall on your face and not give up. Press in, overcome temptation. Be not afraid to obey. I will give you life, all those who follow. You will not faint. You will grow strong when you give up the ghosts that hold you back, the sins of iniquity.
Feel My hurt. It is great. My people have vanished from My life. I am sad, and you are lonely. There are few that remain close to Me where I can nourish their souls.
In Me there is life. There is no other way. I in you; you in Me, where we belong—together. Let us be one, together in love, where we can pray, enveloping each other in goodness. We can do that. It’s not all one way. I am life. There is no other to follow. We can be friends. I will lead, but I will receive as you repent and draw close to Me. For I love My people. I love to pray. I intercede for the saints to bring them pleasure. We can be one. We can be close, you and I.
There is a place of holiness, where you will always be at My feet, a place of blessing. Let it come. Let it envelop you. Let it take over your pride.
Come, My people. Let us rest. Follow no other. I am your place of security, where power dwells, power to overcome sin, pride and temptation. I have life to give.
You are My friend. Get up and be counted among the sheep. For there is error. Life has ceased for a reason. The church is dirty, a place of filth. It is not My home. How can I dwell among an unclean people who hurt each other, who tell each other stories, who hurt from the heart those that care?

Dr. Stan was ONE OF THE GREATEST TRUTH TELLERS OF ALL TIME!!!
I felt badly that he wasn’t given more credit and air time by those who had a bigger platform. His real-history perspective was badly needed. And he understood there are dark, spiritual forces behind the globalists’ agenda.
I got to know Dr. Stan personally when Barbara invited us to visit with them in their home during a Radio Liberty conference:
At the Monteith’s (Photo of Mom and me with Dr. Stan and Barbara at their home in 2004)
In his living room, I was able to share with him what I had learned about what the Bible really says about who goes to heaven. Soon afterward, Dr. Stan posted this on his site:
BE YE THEREFORE PERFECT (Matthew 5:48): Thirty-eight Sermonettes on SIN, SALVATION and RIGHTEOUSNESS
Thank you, Dr. Stan for all you’ve done to help so many, most of whom didn’t want to hear. He did five hours of radio per day anyway, trying to reach as many as possible, even up until the end. In 2004, I suggested that he might do less hours per day, but he said, “no, no….” He interviewed Joel Skousen for the last time on 9/18/14. Joel has long been a weekly guest for many years, which I almost always listened to, and often reported on at ToBeFree.
It’s sad to see that you’ve passed before seeing spiritual revival come, which is what we needed to significantly enough change America, while we still had the chance.

Dr. Stanley Monteith, Host of Radio Liberty, Passes Away at 85
Dr. Stan was one of the first, if not the first, to expose globalism
Prison Planet.com
September 29, 2014
Dr. Stanley Monteith, the nationally syndicated radio host and author who spent nearly 50 years exposing the globalist agenda, paving the way for many patriots to do the same, passed away this morning at the age of 85.
For many decades, Dr. Monteith blazed the trail for liberty radio and his tireless work revolutionized the liberty movement.
“Dr. Stan,” as he was known, served on the front lines warning of the spiritual battle taking place between good and evil and did tremendous work in exposing the vast network of secret societies and mysterious forces behind the men who make up the “Brotherhood of Darkness.” He was also a pioneer in warning about the dangers of fluoride, vaccines and America’s fiat Federal Reserve currency.
Dr. Monteith was also a good friend and a source of inspiration for Alex Jones.
“He was one of those people who was always at the epicenter of good change, defending liberty and battling tyranny,” Jones said today. “He did it absolutely with a servant’s heart and that’s what mattered.”
The classic introduction of Dr. Stan’s radio show, Radio Liberty, galvanized listeners into actively searching for the real truth rather than accepting the false explanations of the world around them without question.
“Well, Dr. Stan here at the Genesis Communication Network. Coming to you from the hills overlooking beautiful and picturesque Monterey Bay and bringing you the news behind the news, the story behind the story. Hoping to convince you that reality is usually scoffed at and that illusion is usually king, but in the battle for survival for western civilization it’s going to be reality and not illusion or delusion that will determine what the future will bring.”
From the entire Infowars staff, our condolences go out to Dr. Monteith’s family. May he rest in peace.

Great to pray in the Holy Spirit against the forces of darkness to!!!!!!!
“For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.” – Paul (Eph. 6:12)
“From the days of John the Baptizer until now, the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.” – Jesus (Mt. 11:12)

When I first starting hearing God regularly (early ’80s) there would be other voices causing confusion. I found that if I brought my micro-cassette recorder to ‘Prayer and Praise’ in Bible School the other voices would flee during worship, so I could hear clearly, to then record the Holy Spirit’s still, small Voice’s words.

From: Prophetic Writer August 19
Worship…. Possibly our Greatest Weapon
When we worship the LORD, we place our eyes fully on Him and we see Him for who He is: All powerful. We know He can do anything and we need not be afraid of anyone. When we don’t see Him, we sink, like Peter did when he took his eyes off Jesus to look at the stormy waves.
In one particular dream, I wrestled with a demon in the spiritual realm. The demon was trying to plunge a sharp knife into my heart. I held onto his wrists as he pushed at me to kill me. In every occasion when I am in a confrontation with a demonic spirit, I rebuke it in the name of Jesus and it eventually flees. Not this time. I rebuked repeatedly, and although it wavered in strength and focus at the authority in His name, it still continued with great persistence in its efforts to plunge this knife into my heart to kill me.
As I watched the point of this razor sharp blade one inch from the skin of my chest, I thought this time it might actually kill me. I was losing strength and I knew I could no longer keep that blade from piercing into my heart.
Suddenly, the LORD took me over. He suddenly caused me to take my eyes off of this demon and his blade and to look upward toward Heaven. Then The LORD caused me to SING the NAME OF JESUS in WORSHIP!! The singing was beautiful. The more I sang the mighty name of JESUS, the more of His power and love and AWESOMENESS I felt. I began to be lifted up in flight and the demon lost all strength to hold onto me. He fell away from me and was gone. He wasn’t my problem anymore, but God’s. I just sang the name of JESUS and woke up. …

His “Yell Fire” CD is one of my favorites, and is powerfully antiwar. And he motived people in his many concerts.
But what Neil says, here, is disheartening too. I admire, greatly, the whole CSN&Y team for stepping out as boldly as they did — again — about 30 years since they protested Vietnam. It’s engrained in them to speak up — so I thought — before reading this about Neil.
And just today, we hear the news: Neil Young Files for Divorce From Pegi Young, Wife of 36 Years. Ughhh!
I’ve heard Neil questioning God in his songs, kind of like Roger Waters. I wonder what Neil is thinking. Certainly, he’s seen the evangelicals pushing the wars longer and as loud as the country western people. That must be confusing, and it should infuriate people who do have a heart, and have eyes to see — when we realize that none of these wars were self-defense and justified.
Now, at least in this 2012 interview, Neil is saying that maybe wars aren’t right or wrong, or maybe they can be both right and wrong. It just depends upon one’s point of view — whose side you are on?
In this one sense, Neil does seem to be thinking there is no God. So then there wouldn’t be absolute truth, right or wrong.
“So you really can’t have an opinion,” he says.
“How can you know all of the reasons?” This reminds me of this song, which I haven’t heard for so long that I forgot who wrote and sung it:

Well, Neil, I hope you listen to Alex Jones and some other infowarriors who point out other aspects behind what’s really going on, so you can find out the real reason and forces behind these wars.
It really is God verses Satan, and demons and angels whom we don’t see, but who do their dirty and totally clean work every day in men’s hearts. And when we don’t understand how actively Satan works it maybe does seem futile — if God were actually sanctioning everything that took place on planet Earth.
Free will + evil, unseen forces that drive men to stumble = chaos, and then despair.
A really good album that makes sense of this is Bob Dylan’s “Slow Train Coming.” How Bob could have it that together and then go back into Judaism baffles me. He said he sold his soul. I hope he reclaims it before it’s too late.
I usually don’t do this at ToBeFree.
Let’s overcome. There is a way out of this mess — if we abide in Him — and obey with our whole heart, the One Above Who is all Goodness.
I’m pretty active on Facebook if anyone is interested. And my spiritual blog is ONEcanhappen.
There’s not much time to get our act together before it’s too late. I’m actually trying to get real Christianity happening, which looked like this in Wales, and can be amazing, again:
God bless!
Life in the Son!!!

From: Politico
During the Bush administration, rocker Neil Young didn’t mince his words: He wasn’t a fan of the president, especially in the realm of foreign policy.
His 2006 album, Living With War, was a harsh rebuke of George W. Bush, especially the not-so-subtle track, “Let’s Impeach the President.”
Young still doesn’t like war, but in an interview with NPR’s Terry Gross, the host of “Fresh Air,” he seems to have modified his opinion on the issue.
Gross asks about the song “Love and War” on his 2010 album, Le Noise, which includes the following lyric:
When I sing about love and war /
I don’t really know what I’m saying.
“And I think that sums it up,” Young said. “Because they’re very deep subjects. You can’t possibly know what it means to somebody else. War to one person may mean a justified thing that’s happening for a very good reason, and another person may think that’s a terrible thing and never should have happened. And another person will be thinking that he lost his sister or his brother or his mother in the war and it was a waste of time. And another person could be thinking the exact opposite: that his brother went to war and gave his life for our country. So you can’t really have an opinion, although I have opinions and I’ve had them and I’ve made very loud statements about things. But that’s the way I felt at the time.
“When I did the Living With War album, I was very outspoken about the anger I felt about certain things that were happening at that time in history. But again, I was no more right than the people who believed in it because it was such a big thing — how can you know? How can you know all of the reasons and everything that’s happening? I just don’t enjoy war. I’m not like a fan of war. And love can be very damaging, and it can be very good. So you just don’t know where to go with these things. So I wrote about that — the quandary of not knowing what to do with any of those things. It’s kind of a useless point of view.”

As a senior in high school (St. Croix Lutheran in W. St. Paul, MN) in the ’70s, I realized I couldn’t love people fully enough, and that I needed God’s help to do it. I didn’t know if Christianity was the right religion, because Lutheranism hadn’t done it for me, or from what I could see in those around me. So I decided to research every religion until I found the right one. I started by reading the Bible for myself, starting with the Book of Acts.
When I read this story about Paul and Silas being thrown into prison — being beaten, yet they still worshiped with their whole being, God filling them so fully — I realized they had it.
And I’ve never needed to look anywhere else, but have been frustrated by how sub-biblical Christianity mostly is today.
Anyway, these are highlights of this article, 4 Ways to Quiet Your Spirit Before God, by Steve Hill:
Remember when Paul and Silas were in prison? They were not only chained; they had also been severely beaten. Most likely their prison cell was infested with rats, and diseases were rampant.
I can imagine Paul looking at the burns on his hands from the chains and the cuts all over his body. He and Silas were hurting, and their lives were in jeopardy. But what did they do? Instead of getting depressed and complaining, they began to praise God.
I can just hear them lifting their voices to God in praise in the midst of their desperation, saying, “We worship You, Lord. We worship You, Jesus. Thank You for Your presence. Thank You for Your strength. We love You, Lord.”
It caught the attention of heaven, and God sent an earthquake to deliver them!
[…]
I must use the story of Jesus in the garden during His passion as the example of aligning ourselves to God’s will. …
But something else happened to Jesus in the garden after He prayed. Notice the next verse: “An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him” (v. 43). My friend, this is so powerful. Always remember that after Jesus resigned Himself to God’s will, the angels strengthened Him.
And so it is with you. It’s after you resign yourself to God’s will that the angels will come and strengthen you!
[…]
Here is where so many miss it. They allow their present situation to dictate everything that’s going on around them. Instead, you must learn to relax and say, “This is a season, and it is going to pass. It’s going to bring the peaceable fruit of righteousness. Some good is going to come out of this.”
Isaiah 30:15 tells us why it’s so important to learn how to quiet our spirits: “In quietness and trust is your strength” (NIV). It doesn’t get much clearer than that.
Quieting your spirit will help you navigate through the storms of life no matter what you are going through and no matter what’s happening in the world around you. It’s an art and a spiritual discipline that will change your life and help set the course for your future as it has mine. Why not begin today?

I do mix in a lot of what’s really going on in the world stuff too, which is what my ToBeFree blog is about — as well as some fun stuff — like posts about Alaska and photography.

When we’re FILLED with the POWER of God we’ll never be the same again!
…which has happened to me many times. These have been the greatest thrills of my life — when I’ve been tangibly FILLED with the HOLY Spirit with power and so much joy and LOVE!!! And we ain’t seen nothin’ yet, once ‘ONE’ HAPPENS!!!!!!!!!!!!
“God wants to set us FREE!!!!!!!”

I shared this on my Facebook page, this morning: My EUREKA! moment theory: the sin *minimizing*, sin *blinding*, sin *justifying* demons causing Christians to think and feel that their sinning is okay. “We must be clean.”
Eureka! prayer moment this morning!!! Jesus’ words, “Father forgive them, for THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO” also applies to born-again, “Spirit-filled” Christians who are willfully sinning, including hating and James-3 cursing us.
Jesus prayed this from the cross for the Jews who put him up there and who were meanly mocking him. I used to think that once a person is born-again and has the Holy Spirit to help them see and lead them into all truth (John 14 & 16), then they do KNOW WHAT THEY DO when they sin against us. But I’m finding that the only way I can fully forgive from my whole heart those ‘Christians’ who sin against me is if I think the way Jesus thought towards those who hated him.
So that’s key one — to be able to fully forgive anyone and everyone no matter what.
Then I took this one step further. HOW CAN BORN-AGAIN, “SPIRIT-FILLED” CHRISTIANS NOT KNOW HOW EVIL THEIR SINNING AGAINST US IS?
I’ve actually been thinking about this for a long time, and have proven from the Bible that born-again Christians can have evil spirits in them (article linked below). And I’ve said that “most have many,” because of the willful sinning that almost everyone is doing, today — including the hating and James-3 cursing of other people, to get their way.
But if they DON’T KNOW WHAT THEY’RE DOING when they’re intentionally hating others, praying against people, cursing people FROM THEIR HEART, what James talks about in chapter 3, verse 14 identifying the source location:
“But if you have *bitter jealousy* and *selfish ambition* IN YOUR *HEART*….”
…if THEY DON’T KNOW WHAT THEY’RE DOING they must be blinded by SIN-JUSTIFICATION DEMONS that deceive people into thinking their willful sinning against others is okay.
So if we pray against the sin-justifying demons within people [our warfare not being against people but demons], then they’ll be able to see their sin more for what it is. [I say “more,” because on earth, I don’t think it’s possible to see how bad our sin really is.]
So my EUREKA! moment this morning was this awareness that people have what I’m right now calling sin-justification demons in them so even though they have the Holy Spirit in them, willful sinning has opened the door to demons being able to reinforce their sinning to the degree that many are BLINDED so they can’t see how bad their sins against others really is.
And if we PRAY THAT THEY’LL BE FREE from the sin-justifying demons, then they’ll be able to understand their willfully sinning state much better, and then they’ll be able to see more so their responsibility to get right with those they’ve hurt.
And when enough do ‘ONE’ can happen!!!!!!!

Can a Christian Have a Demon? Absolutely! Most Have Many!
I’ve had to minimize time spent on my blogs lately, as I’ve been swamped and dumbfounded by massive, multiple (actual fact), mysterious technical difficulties, one of which still isn’t fully solved after 7 weeks. But I’m pressing through, and made a new print yesterday. Hopefully, soon it will be full speed ahead, being able to present my new work until January 31 in this beautiful coffee shop just blocks from where I live.
I’ve spent more time on the phone during these seven weeks, troubleshooting, than maybe in the last seven years — seriously. Some of my story is here:
I updated my thinking on this message 6 weeks later, here:

I just posted this on my Facebook page:
EXCITING message at Abbott Loop this morning by Josh Tanner: “Ambassadors of Reconciliation!”
‘ONE’ can still happen this year, “that the world will know” — Jesus’ heart-cry-prayer for us in John 17! The great revival, The Third Great Awakening that will transform Anchorage and greatly affect our nation!
Some things Josh said:
“We need to learn how to become excellent at reconciliation.”
“Am I wrecking or reconciling? You’re going one way or the other.”
He had them all say “I was wrong” out loud at minute-29.
Wow!
Selah.
The message wasn’t all great, though. At minute-16, Josh said we can hate people and still go to heaven, and then get right with people there. What?!
Huh? People who hate people don’t go to heaven (Gal. 5:19-6:9), which I’ve also proven in my article, linked below. Josh is still teaching the once-saved-always-saved heresy that is deceiving many into thinking we don’t need to walk clean now so we’ll have clean hearts to be able to enter then.
Josh did enthusiastically say we shouldn’t wait, though.
Overall, it was very good, and this is now only the second message I’ve heard in my entire life devoted only to reconciliation. The first was also by Josh in October, but I like this one much better. Very exciting, actually!
Praise God!
I’ll include some key links about this below. I’ve been pushing for this hard since 1990 — at one time too hard. But I’ve hung in there, because I know this is God’s desire for us, and we can do it!
Though the U.S. is dark, the future can be bright for us no matter what happens!!! : )
Thank you, Josh for leading this reconciliation charge!
