Part 1.
    Join us on this journey into the depths of who we truly are - beneath this cage of flesh  beyond the veils that hide away from the whispering lies of the succubus  the treasures of darkness the spirit child within - the giant devils fear if ever free would be their end so they guard him with fervor lulling to sleep feeding flesh never ending with darkness and sin.....

Let us awaken the giant within - screaming truth into silence - Lazarus come forth -  dead men live! no longer can the powerful be stopped by the powerless! no longer will we drown in the laziness of  their lies - believing their cages freedom - and their bitter to be sweet.   Arise with us and stand in the very truth that breathed in us life - we are free - we are strong - we are conquerors in Christ !!!

Forget the past and press on to the truth of who you were created to be before time began and who you will be when illusions cease and time ends.

Don't allow the ticking of the clock to lull you with its hypnotizing trance rather let it be the siren ever sounding in your eyes an hour glass.

Awaken to our leader the firstborn of the dead - calling to your spirit  "come alive!"   "come alive again!!!"

 Die To Self.....by Bruce Rudow (pictured below)
|

If you can't see good in other people...the problem lies within yourself.

Self is the key...self wants its own way and tends to love only when it expects something in return.
(Greater love has no man than he lay down his life
<or self> for his brother.)
Self is your worst enemy.
When you love or truly love >>> yourself or what you can get in return doesn't enter the picture.
I Cor.13
True love doesn't even realize when it has been wronged.

so...if you can't see good in other people it is because you are pre-occupied with yourself...

Self doesn't want to die.
It wants to be the center of attention so it keeps you from focusing properly on how you see other people.
Remember no greater love has any man than he that lays down his life (or self) for his brother.

Self feeds on having its own way ...it is a consuming monster out of control.
Love doesn't have its own way but will lay down anything that might hurt or destroy his brother.

This is giving up ~ giving up and laying down ~ or dying to self.

Dying to self will change you . It will change the way you see other people ~ change your heart ~ and change you. So you begin to love for Real!

Real love is God's way...God is love!

He sent His son....not to condemn us but to save us!
Save us from ourself.
God sees the good in us not what we've done but who we are. He sees our beginning and our end. He sees the real us. So shouldn't we see the good in others...

Die to self....let love begin its work in you.
Lucifer began self - ego - pride - selfishness - etc. when he wanted to be God he wanted to receive what belonged to God and God alone.
So we must love and see others as God sees them. Lift up your brother or sister...see them as they really are. Sow a seed in your brother - lift him up!
Satan comes to condemn us - he is the accuser of the brethren - he wants to destroy our self esteem - wants to point out what we've done in the past - not who we really are.
We are not what we've done wrong that was lies we fell into or experienced ... we don't need to dwell in the cess-pool of the past.

Be clean - wash yourself in God's love and what our Saviour Jesus Christ has done for us Holy be His name.....He is true love!
Love conquers all sins!!!!

Part 2.
Is there war raging in realms unseen ? 
Are we of more value then it would seem ?
WHY are we allured to our death by Illusion ?
why do demons plan our demise ?

Is life a game of chance that passes ?
or strategies of the divine birthed in a realm unseen with the eyes?
untouched
unheard
not smelt
not felt
unrealized.....except in the deepest parts of who we are......
a still small voice whispers a cry
all that you have known is not real
all that you have seen is not sight
within my words your darkness will dissipate into light
listen and live -  there are many pictures ...
only one is painted by me - all others facsimiles
can you hear him beneath the ever thickening layers of the prison walls ?
hear the still small voice of freedoms call

Sons of God imprisoned by fallen spirits of the dark world programmed to think they are nothing more than animals - they are gods but will die like mere men - never realizing who they are or the power of God within .   As dark-lords rule the tortured skies and pull the puppet strings of misled lives. Birthing sinister plans of corruption through human gates of lust - while giants fear shadows and remain in chains of string. All creation groans awaiting their awakening  longing to be released into the glorious freedom of the sons of God. Gates that can release the power of  love's light into the darkness of the lust filled night.

YES ....freedoms price is forever settled at the place of the skull on Calvary's torture tree .  Where the Ancient of  Days spread his arms and showed his great love for all humanity.

Now slaves can be sons if they choose to be free.  Or they can remain in temporal pleasure's prison forever asleep until death finally awakens them to the truth of eternity then in sorrow to ever realize their
lost destiny.

Don't let this be your demise ...   You were born with a purpose - forged in the light before the foundations of the temporal -  in the image of Christ -  The perfect pattern - the firstborn of the dead - the voice of love inside - the way the truth the life.

Awaken, enter in and ARISE!
