You wanna know how I know that the methods I follow, or use, to reach those who remain trapped in darkness?? Because I could give you a very long list of all the men & women of GOD that criticize me (mostly behind my back of course) and criticize the methods I use as I establish relationships with those who are lost and trapped in deception and darkness.

Yeah really! I am not discouraged by their ignorance at all, so no worries there. In fact, I am encouraged by their lack of Faith in HIS Way..... as long as I remain pleasing and acceptable unto GOD Almighty, then I am not concerned with anyone thinks or feels. AMen!

Some of my enemies are at peace with me. I have a bond with my enemies. Of course they're not "my" enemies after all, but enemies of GOD Almighty. AMen!

It is none of me. It is all of HIM... The Holy Spirit of The One, True Living GOD within me is what makes it possible for me to relate and reach out to establish relationships with those trapped in some of the most horrendous and deviant sexual sins.

I am truly Blessed, Honored and Grateful to be used in such a way.

A/A = Moral Psychology With An Immoral Intention

Sad when I hear, or see, someone praising an ungodly program, like A/A or N/A, and even claiming it to be of GOD.

A/A and N/A's methods are rooted in an attempt at theological impartiality, the brain-disease model of addiction, and using psychology’s mental illness concept.

Neither are capable of providing a sound means unto recovery, reason being, there is no such thing as "recovery" with YESHUA, JESUS The CHRIST, because when you surrender to HIM and HE makes you Free then you are Recovered!

The Gospel affords those who struggle with any addiction, stronghold, vice or sin a comprehensive renewal; A/A constitutes another religion which affords its adherents an ever-present fear of relapse.

Depressing to think that people really believe that these programs are based on biblical Truth.

"AA is in no way compatible with biblical Christianity, and it is in itself another a competing religion—The AA fellowships are its churches, the ‘Big Book’ is its Bible, the “spiritual experience” is its conversion, sponsors are its clergy, and the Twelve Steps are its creed. AA’s religion even possesses a method of evangelism complete with personal testimony"

The Origin of A/A (recently shared with me) [long read - but worth it]

In 1928, Frank Buchman, an ordained Lutheran minister, began the Oxford Group, a moralistic cult which held that through absolute honesty, purity, unselfishness, love, and confession of sin, man can achieve peace with God, even Christ. The movement, also called Moral Re-Armament, affirmed a neo-Pelagian view of human nature, believing that through confession of sin and a renewed commitment to moral living, humanity could bring about a pax humana.

Conspicuously absent from the Oxford Group’s teaching was any mention of the gospel of Jesus Christ. H. A. Ironside, the great evangelical theologian and pastor of Moody Church, a contemporary of Buchman, remarked that the teaching of the Oxford Group was essentially a form of Christianity without the Savior, his cross, his atonement, or his Holy Spirit.

William Wilson (1895-1971), also known as Bill W., was a drunkard who had a career on Wall St. until the great depression hit on “black Tuesday,” 1929. Wilson gave himself over to alcohol as a way to alleviate his loss, and in 1934 he met a former drinking buddy who had reached sobriety through a conversion to the Oxford Group. Although Wilson wanted sobriety, he rejected the Christian faith. Bill’s friend responded to his hesitancy by inviting him to invent a God of his own making. He said, “Why don’t you choose your own conception of God?’’

While in the hospital undergoing detox, Wilson was under the care of Dr. W. D. Silkworth. Silkworth instructed Wilson that alcoholism is a disease, and that this disease results in a biologically driven predilection for alcohol. Out of desperation to be free from this disease, Wilson is said to have cried out from his hospital bed, “I’ll do anything! Anything at all! If there be a God, let him show himself!” After having a “spiritual experience,” Wilson agreed to believe in “a Power greater than himself,” undergoing some form of conversion.

The basis of Wilson’s relationship with his own conception of God were certain works he learned while in the Oxford Group: “a moral inventory, confession of personality defects, restitution to those harmed, helpfulness to others, and the necessity of belief in and dependence upon God.” These works were later featured in AA’s recovery model. Wilson became convinced that these were the essential and exclusive elements needed to achieve sobriety.

Dr. Robert Smith (1879-1950), also known as Dr. Bob S., was a proctologist and a severe drunkard. While participating in the Oxford Group in a last-ditch attempt to find sobriety, Smith met Wilson who introduced the good doctor to the disease model of addiction. Through his own “spiritual experience,” along with Wilson’s aid, Smith was able to achieve sobriety.

Together, Smith and Wilson went on to aid yet another “alcoholic,” and thus founded the organization as it is known today. As of 2014, AA is an international organization which consists of over 115,000 local chapters or “fellowships”

AA’s Method

AA only admits people into their fellowships who desire to stop drinking. Once admitted, other alcoholics who have reached sobriety begin to aid the newcomer to “work the steps.” He or she is typically appointed a sponsor, unless they were previously invited to AA by a sponsor. The sponsor is someone who has “made some progress in the recovery program and shares that experience on a continuous, individual basis with another alcoholic who is attempting to attain or maintain sobriety through AA” The sponsor encourages and helps the newcomer to attend a variety of AA meetings, promotes AA literature and teaching to the newcomer, and disciples them in the traditions of AA. Sponsors essentially look after the new recruit, assisting them on their path to sobriety.


AA’s recovery movement is centered around the spiritual experience that is brought about by following The Twelve Steps of Recovery. The Twelve Steps of Recovery are as follows:

1. We admitted we were powerless over alcohol— that our lives had become unmanageable.

2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.

3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.

4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.

5. Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.

6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.

7. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.

8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.

9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.

10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.

11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.

12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

A Biblical Evaluation of AA

The tenth of AA’s “Twelve Traditions” states,

No AA group or member should ever, in such a way as to implicate AA, express any opinion on outside controversial issues—particularly those of politics, alcohol reform, or sectarian religion. The Alcoholics Anonymous groups opposes [sic] no one.

AA intends to portray an innocuous image while remaining neutral on controversial issues. However, such an attempt at neutrality is itself non-neutral. One cannot be lukewarm on an issue such as the Lordship of Christ. Jesus said to his disciples “Whoever is not with me is against me and whoever does not gather with me scatters.” An attempt at neutrality, or even silence, is itself an opinion on “controversial issues.” Therefore, because A.A. intentionally rejects the exclusivist nature of the Bible’s truth claims, it rejects Christianity by implication.

AA Promotes an Unbiblical Spirituality
Although AA claims that it “is not a religious organization,” it promotes and teaches its own distinct spirituality. The practice of the twelve steps is said to produce a “spiritual experience” or “awakening,” just as in some form of religious conversion. According to Alcoholics Anonymous (i.e., the “Big Book”), “For our group purpose there is but one ultimate authority—a loving God as He may express himself in our group conscience.” The pamphlet, Members of the Clergy ask about Alcoholics Anonymous, states,

Most members, before turning to AA, had already admitted that they could not handle their drinking—alcohol had taken control of their lives. AA experience suggests that to get sober and stay sober, alcoholics need to accept and depend upon a spiritual entity, or force, that they perceive as greater than themselves. Some choose the AA group as their “Higher Power”; some look to God—as they understand Him; and others rely upon entirely different concepts.

When, therefore, we speak to you of God, we mean your own conception of God. This applies, too, to other spiritual expressions which you find in this book

AA’s spirituality is definitionally relativistic. That is, AA’s foundational “spiritual method” is idolatry. What underlies AA’s nebulous notion of a “Higher Power,” is the belief that all conceptions of God are equally legitimate and helpful in achieving sobriety. Thus, the underlying presupposition of AA’s spirituality is theological neutrality.

Biblical Christianity rejects theological relativism in the strongest possible terms. The non-Christian’s conception of God is corrupted by sin and needs correction, not embrace. There is only one God, and it is the Triune God of the Bible: “For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols, but the LORD made the heavens.” The existence of biblical revelation presupposes the human need for a proper understanding of God, what God requires, and man himself. Thus, AA’s theological relativism is a flat rejection of biblical revelation and the Triune God.

AA has attempted to cloak its rejection of the Triune God and biblical theology by featuring the endorsement of theological liberals such as H. E. Fosdick. It promotes its spirituality as religiously neutral:

We have no desire to convince anyone that there is only one way by which faith can be acquired. If what we have learned and felt and seen means anything at all, it means that all of us, whatever our race, creed, or color are the children of a living Creator with whom we may form a relationship upon simple and understandable terms as soon as we are willing and honest enough to try. Those having religious affiliations will find here nothing disturbing to their beliefs or ceremonies. There is no friction among us over such matters.

The Scriptures teach that there is no neutrality in this life, and that there is no form of “faith” through which one may have fellowship with God outside of Christ.

AA’s spirituality is designed to fly under the radar of Christians as somehow compatible with the biblical faith:

We found that God does not make too hard terms with those who seek Him. To us, the Realm of Spirit is broad, roomy, all inclusive; never exclusive or forbidding to those who earnestly seek. It is open, we believe, to all men.

AA’s spirituality is nothing less than an attack of the exclusivity of Jesus Christ as the Savior and Mediator. One cannot know God as father without the salvific work of Jesus Christ. Jesus contradicted AA inclusivist spirituality by claiming, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. AA’s “broad” and “roomy” path unto God is, in reality, the wide path that leads to destruction.

AA Calls Disease What the Bible Calls Sin
The disease model of alcohol addiction is an intrinsic and unalterable part of the fabric of AA. For AA, “Alcoholics” are not like typical people. They are instead, “bodily and mentally different” than other people. Alcoholism, says AA, becomes completely involuntary, such that the only thing that may stop an alcoholic from his involuntary habit is AA’s “spiritual experience” leading to an entire “psychic change:”

At a certain point in the drinking of every alcoholic, he passes into a state where the most powerful desire to stop drinking is of absolutely no avail…have lost the power of choice in drink. Our so-called will power becomes practically nonexistent.

For AA, alcoholism is a disease, and alcoholics are sick. However, biblically speaking, devoting oneself to an addiction to alcohol isn’t merely a disease, it is the sin of drunkenness. Edward Welch has noted,

Since the history of drunkenness extends back to the beginnings of recorded history, the writers of Scripture were very familiar with it, probably even more than we are today. The biblical view of drunkenness—the prototype of all addictions—is that it is always called sin, never sickness. Scripture is unwavering in this teaching and relentless in its illustrations.

Because AA does not accurately identify the problem, it is unable to provide a sufficient solution. The solution for drunkenness, and for any sin, is the gospel of Jesus Christ. The means by which men become made new is the grace of God wrought in Christ and him crucified and resurrected for the forgiveness of sins and eternal life.

When AA teaches drunkards to proclaim in its twelve steps creed, “We admitted we were powerless over alcohol,” it is asserting that drunkenness is not a choice people make, but a biologically driven addiction. This assertion is a clear contradiction of the Bible’s teaching, that drunkenness is a choice people make, and not merely a biological reality. When the Scripture commands, “Do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery,” it is assuming that people have a personal choice in the matter. When Peter tells believers, “For the time that is past suffices for doing what the Gentiles want to do, living in sensuality, passions, drunkenness, orgies, drinking parties, and lawless idolatry,” he assumes that his readers have a conscious choice as to whether one continues in drunkenness or not. The watching world claims it is impossible to stop drinking and it is “surprised when you do not join them in the same flood of debauchery, and they malign you.” Nonetheless, drunkenness is a choice.

The Scriptures refute AA’s claim that drunkenness is altogether different than other vices:

No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. (1 Cor. 10:13)

Drunkenness is not a special classification of sin that requires a unique solution. Rather, drunkenness is “common to man,” and may be resisted.

In addition to there being no biblical justification for the disease model of alcohol addiction, there are also severe medical, logical, and moral problems with the model:

AA’s Model Revokes Both Personal Freedom and Responsibility

If addiction is brought about by a genetic disease, this presupposes a loss of personal freedom and subsequently, personal responsibility. Thus, the drunk who drives his car into a crowd of people isn’t personally responsible. Rather, such a turn of affairs was brought about by an illness, just as if the drunk had a stroke while behind the wheel. The mother of the baby born with a drug addiction shouldn’t be prosecuted, as her actions were merely the result of a disease. If the brain disease model were true, many actions previously deemed immoral or criminal should, when committed by a drunkard, go unpunished.

AA’s Model Presupposes Anthropological Monism
The notion that drunkenness is brought about by genetics implies that human beings are not a body-soul unity as taught in the Christian Bible. Instead, the brain disease view assumes that human beings are only physical entities who have no immaterial soul or spirit. This view, known as physicalism, is in fundamental contradiction with the Bible’s description of the soulish existence experienced by the dead, whether in the presence of God or in torment.

AA’s Model is Intrinsically Unscientific
The disease model assumes a completely unscientific understanding of alcoholism. Built into the model is the notion that an alcoholic is someone who has an uncontrollable compulsion to drink. This lack of control is said to be evidence by destructive behaviors, and failed attempts at quitting. “But, there is no scientific way to distinguish between uncontrolled compulsion and uncontrollable compulsion.”

The Brain Disease Model is Yet Unproven
There is not unanimity among medical professionals and scholars on the brain disease model of addiction. For instance, a recent article in The New England Journal of Medicine notes that, “the concept of addiction as a disease of the brain is still being questioned.” Consider the following:

Although the brain disease model of addiction is perceived by many as received knowledge, it is not supported by research or logic. In contrast, well established, quantitative choice principles predict both the possibility and the details of addiction.

It surely is irresponsible to claim that ‘addiction’ is a brain disease based on the present state of neurological knowledge and underlying theories and techniques. It is more probable that addiction is normal human bonding to an object, in spite of the negative social and cultural evaluations it is subjected to.

There are many people who recover from alcohol addiction without having had any treatment for their “disease,” and no actual medical intervention for the brain disease model has ever been developed. This is due to the fact that there is no pathology associated with addiction. While brain disease model advocates argue that addiction has a molecular basis in the human brain, there exists no known biological marker whatever. It is more accurate to recognize that brain function changes gradually in response to alcohol addiction.

AA’s Model Requires Wholesale Ascent to Modern Psychology
There is good indication in the literature of AA that the organization affirms a modern psychological view of “mental illness” in conjunction with the brain disease model. The notion of a non-pathological mental disease is contrary to the basic teaching of Scripture. As Adams notes below, the Bible doesn’t possess a category for a non-organic illness:

The Scriptures plainly speak of both organically based problems as well as those problems that stem from sinful attitudes and behavior; but where, in all God’s Word, is there so much as a trace of any third source of problems which might approximate the modern concept of ‘mental illness’? Clearly the burden of proof lies with those who loudly affirm the existence of mental illness or disease but fail to demonstrate biblically that it exists. Until such a demonstration is forthcoming, the only safe course to follow is to declare with all of Scripture that the genesis of such human problems are twofold, not threefold.

AA’s capitulation to psychology requires us to consider the vast problems inherit in the modern psychological establishment. Even the secular world has come to the realization that psychology and its resultant therapeutic culture doesn’t work. Psychology has been recognized by the secular culture as something of a pseudo-science. Dr. Alex B. Berezow, a microbiologist, has come out and declared, “Psychology isn’t science.” The basis for Berezow’s confident assertion is that psychology doesn’t meet basic scientific criteria:

Why can we definitively say that? Because psychology often does not meet the five basic requirements for a field to be considered scientifically rigorous: clearly defined terminology, quantifiability, highly controlled experimental conditions, reproducibility and, finally, predictability and testability.

Psychology’s failure to legitimize its “science” is rooted in its inability to follow standard scientific practices. John Horgan has noted that in 2015 more than half of 100 studies published in “major psychology journals” had failed a replication test “despite painstaking efforts to re-create the original experiments.” In his book length evaluation, Dr. Brian M. Hughes has noted,

Second-rate replication records, paradoxical paradigms, enigmatic measurement practices, cryptic statistics, and unconvincing sampling conventions all stand as ubiquitous reminders of why psychologist’s enthusiasm should be tempered.

Hughes concluded that although psychology “considers itself agile at producing authentic insights about the human psyche,” psychologists should instead “feel torrents of collective embarrassment running down their spines.”

AA’s embrace of psychology’s “mental disease” concept and the brain disease model of addiction, leaves AA incapable of providing those who struggle with alcohol addiction an appropriate solution. Drunkenness is first a spiritual condition, and only by implication a physiological condition. That is, the physiological effects of drunkenness are brought about by a preexisting spiritual condition, which in the case of the drunkard, is manifested in alcohol abuse. While legitimate medical interventions may be necessary, the root issue is one of sin and not disease.

AA’s Spiritual Method Denies the Gospel
AA’s slavish devotion to the disease model of addiction renders its members in a state of helplessness such that they may never achieve freedom from the predilection to be drunk. AA has cloaked its failure to provide freedom from alcohol addiction by instituting its own anthropological dogma, namely, once someone is an alcoholic, he or she will always be an alcoholic. Hence, AA members introduce themselves saying, “Hello, my name is…and I am an alcoholic,” into perpetuity. Alcoholism, says AA, is a disease for which there exists no cure. So devoted is AA to the disease model, the organization equates alcohol addiction with the finality of amputation:

We know that no real alcoholic ever recovers control… We are like men who have lost their legs; they never grow new ones.

By distinction, the Christian gospel makes sinners free from bondage to sin and the Holy Spirit sanctifies his people. While Christians may still struggle with sin, they are not a slave to sin and are a new creation in Jesus Christ. Jesus said, “So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” The Scriptures explicitly deny the finality of addiction:

Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God. (1 Cor. 6:9-11)

“Drunkards,” says the apostle Paul, were transformed into Christians by the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ. By using the imperfect verb ēte, Paul characterizes some of the Corinthian Christians as precisely what AA denies, people who were once addicted to alcohol, but were made free from that addiction.

The biblical answer to either a substance addiction or a behavioral addiction (i.e., one that is not in and of itself sinful) is not complete abstinence. For instance, the Bible’s message to someone who is a glutton and is addicted to overeating is not, “Stop eating, and never eat again.” Instead, the Bible’s message is to repent from abusing the gift of food, and use food properly through the redemptive power of the gospel of Jesus Christ and his Holy Spirit. Similarly, no one says to the shopping addict, “Never buy things again.” Rather, the Bible’s directive is to put the gift of provision within its appropriate place. So it is with alcohol addiction. Fear of relapse such that one may never drink alcohol again is not recovery. Rather, recovery is a well-adjusted and faithful disposition that is not still in bondage to sin. The Christian who has been freed from the sin of drunkenness is free to make good use of God’s gift of alcohol. Indeed, that Jesus ordained the use of alcohol in the Lord’s Supper is good evidence that neither he nor his church viewed complete abstinence as the proper approach to drunkenness. The wealth of so-called “dry drunks” in AA testifies that its methods are able only to bring people to a fearful state wherein the potential relapse is always close at hand.

Conclusion

AA is in no way compatible with biblical Christianity, and it is in itself another a competing religion—The AA fellowships are its churches, the ‘Big Book’ is its Bible, the “spiritual experience” is its conversion, sponsors are its clergy, and the Twelve Steps are its creed. AA’s religion even possesses a method of evangelism complete with personal testimony:

When you discover a prospect for Alcoholics Anonymous, find out all you can about him. If he does not want to stop drinking, don’t waste time trying to persuade him. You may spoil a later opportunity. This advice is given for his family also. They should be patient, realizing they are dealing with a sick person.

Tell him [i.e., the prospect] exactly what happened to you. Stress the spiritual feature freely. If the man be agnostic or atheist, make it emphatic that he does not have to agree with your conception of God. He can choose any conception he likes, provided it makes sense to him. The main thing is that he be willing to believe in a Power greater than himself and that he live by spiritual principles.

In the final analysis, AA is a competing religion, and only through religious syncretism, can one harmonize the competing claims of Christianity and AA While many have reached sobriety through AA, the end doesn’t justify the means. Millenia before AA existed, those who were addicted to alcohol found healing and freedom through the gospel of Jesus Christ, Christian soul care, and the local church.

No More Slackin Up Y'all!

We sometimes think that the world in which we live does not affect us. After all, aren't we Children of GOD Almighty? Don’t we read HIS Word on a daily basis? Are we not Faithful to Praise & Worship HIM? Don't we attend all of the local body gatherings? Don't we "go to church"?

Our delusions are quickly exposed as we continue seeking to deal with our own strongholds, our past and present hurts, old habits, new habits and even seeking to find a loophole to step outside of Holiness just to please those who remain in, and of, the world.

The world has forgotten YAHWEH, GOD Almighty. Have we unwittingly allowed ourselves to be influenced by the world? There is an old saying that "The Church has less influence over the world because the world has more influence over The Church." Scary, I know! But Truth. 

When facing condemnation, we may even tell ourselves, "Do better and the guilt will go away!" But HIS Word teaches us to look to HIM, and HIM Alone, so that guilt and shame may be washed away!

HIS Word tells us to look to YESHUA, JESUS The CHRIST’S Victory on Calvary. It says, know yourself to be in HIM and thus dead to sin! It says, "Abide in HIM and HE will abide in you!"

When feeling worthless, we may tell ourselves, "Be good!" The Word says to see JESUS The CHRIST and HIS Righteousness imputed to you so that you measure up in every way in HIM and are of immeasurable value!

When tempted to give up and give in, we may tell ourselves, "Hang in there!" YAHWEH, GOD Almighty teaches us to draw Strength, Guidance and Joy from HIM! From HIS HOLY GHOST which dwelleth within us!

Is your walk one that forgets HIM or HIS Word when it becomes inconvenient to "Walk In The Way"? Do you ever find yourself engaging in things that you know are wrong and you continue til you're done? Can you not stop and turn at the very moment you know that you are doing wrong? Of course you can! The issue is that you do not want to!! 

Have you learned to focus on the Victory that JESUS The CHRIST has already won and are you rejoicing in it? Do not allow yourself to fall victim to the enemy, to this old world/peer pressure or to the lusts of your flesh! Do not allow yourself to find yourself wanting to be “liked” or wanting to be like anyone else. Stand out. Speak up.

Shine for YAHWEH, GOD Almighty, and leave a lasting impression of YESHUA, JESUS The CHRIST, on those who come into contact with you.

Heavenly FATHER, Thank YOU, for all of the many Blessings that YOU so generously pour out amongst each of us on a daily basis. Oh, we Praise YOU for the opportunity that YOU grant us just to get closer to YOU each day that YOU allow us to remain here on this earth. Forgive us FATHER, for allowing this world and the worldly to influence us, our thinking, our habits, our ways, and even our emotional bond to the things of this world. For we actually know exactly what we do and we beg YOUR Forgiveness. Please allow YOUR HOLY GHOST to lead us & guide our steps along this path YOU have planted our feet on. We Pray to YOU in The Holy and Precious Name of YESHUA, JESUS The CHRIST. Amen.

Reading Judges 7:1-25….


1 Then Jerubbaal (that is, Gideon) and all the people who were with him rose early and encamped beside the spring of Harod. And the camp of Midian was north of them, by the hill of Moreh, in the valley.
​

2 The Lord said to Gideon, “The people with you are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hand, lest Israel boast over me, saying, ‘My own hand has saved me.’ 3 Now therefore proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, ‘Whoever is fearful and trembling, let him return home and hurry away from Mount Gilead.’” Then 22,000 of the people returned, and 10,000 remained.

4 And the Lord said to Gideon, “The people are still too many. Take them down to the water, and I will test them for you there, and anyone of whom I say to you, ‘This one shall go with you,’ shall go with you, and anyone of whom I say to you, ‘This one shall not go with you,’ shall not go.” 5 So he brought the people down to the water. And the Lord said to Gideon, “Every one who laps the water with his tongue, as a dog laps, you shall set by himself. Likewise, every one who kneels down to drink.” 6 And the number of those who lapped, putting their hands to their mouths, was 300 men, but all the rest of the people knelt down to drink water. 7 And the Lord said to Gideon, “With the 300 men who lapped I will save you and give the Midianites into your hand, and let all the others go every man to his home.” 8 So the people took provisions in their hands, and their trumpets. And he sent all the rest of Israel every man to his tent, but retained the 300 men. And the camp of Midian was below him in the valley.

9 That same night the Lord said to him, “Arise, go down against the camp, for I have given it into your hand. 10 But if you are afraid to go down, go down to the camp with Purah your servant. 11 And you shall hear what they say, and afterward your hands shall be strengthened to go down against the camp.” Then he went down with Purah his servant to the outposts of the armed men who were in the camp. 12 And the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the people of the East lay along the valley like locusts in abundance, and their camels were without number, as the sand that is on the seashore in abundance. 13 When Gideon came, behold, a man was telling a dream to his comrade. And he said, “Behold, I dreamed a dream, and behold, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the camp of Midian and came to the tent and struck it so that it fell and turned it upside down, so that the tent lay flat.” 14 And his comrade answered, “This is no other than the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel; God has given into his hand Midian and all the camp.”

15 As soon as Gideon heard the telling of the dream and its interpretation, he worshiped. And he returned to the camp of Israel and said, “Arise, for the Lord has given the host of Midian into your hand.” 16 And he divided the 300 men into three companies and put trumpets into the hands of all of them and empty jars, with torches inside the jars. 17 And he said to them, “Look at me, and do likewise. When I come to the outskirts of the camp, do as I do. 18 When I blow the trumpet, I and all who are with me, then blow the trumpets also on every side of all the camp and shout, ‘For the Lord and for Gideon.’”

Gideon Defeats Midian

​
19 So Gideon and the hundred men who were with him came to the outskirts of the camp at the beginning of the middle watch, when they had just set the watch. And they blew the trumpets and smashed the jars that were in their hands. 20 Then the three companies blew the trumpets and broke the jars. They held in their left hands the torches, and in their right hands the trumpets to blow. And they cried out, “A sword for the Lord and for Gideon!” 21 Every man stood in his place around the camp, and all the army ran. They cried out and fled. 22 When they blew the 300 trumpets, the Lord set every man's sword against his comrade and against all the army. And the army fled as far as Beth-shittah toward Zererah, as far as the border of Abel-meholah, by Tabbath. 23 And the men of Israel were called out from Naphtali and from Asher and from all Manasseh, and they pursued after Midian.

24 Gideon sent messengers throughout all the hill country of Ephraim, saying, “Come down against the Midianites and capture the waters against them, as far as Beth-barah, and also the Jordan.” So all the men of Ephraim were called out, and they captured the waters as far as Beth-barah, and also the Jordan. 25 And they captured the two princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb. They killed Oreb at the rock of Oreb, and Zeeb they killed at the winepress of Zeeb. Then they pursued Midian, and they brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon across the Jordan.

“The Devil Is A Liar”

It doesn’t matter if you turn on your televisions, pick up a newspaper or magazine or just simply walk down the street, you will be faced with perversion. The politics of personal values, as they relate to one’s beliefs, have been hijacked by an extremely vocal and relentless group that is bent on changing the dynamic of issues like traditional marriage, education, morals/values and faith.
 
And while some try to remain neutral, in the hopes that they might not be “labeled” as narrow-minded, intolerant or bigoted, it is becoming increasingly obvious that those misguided among us simply will not be satisfied with our collective desire to be non-judgmental, but rather demand total acceptance of their personal belief systems in spite of our own.

Now as Christians, we know that this is not possible in the eyes of YAHWEH, GOD Almighty, and as it is defined in The Word. Moreover, we find ourselves defending the beliefs we hold dear, not in the sense that they are somehow wrong or intolerant, but that they are clearly the opposite of those held by this very vocal group that is desperately seeking validation.
 
Please pardon me if I seem overly political, nothing could be further from the truth. I am not a democratic, nor a republican, and I am liberal on some issues while remaining conservative on other issues.

I’m simply frustrated by the razor-sharp clarity I feel in my heart on the matters of traditional family and the like, as a means to address many of our societal ills. To be clear, my LORD & SAVIOR would not approve of my condemning the lost for acting lost, but for me to establish relations with those who are furthest from HIM in hopes of being the example, in Word, Deed and Action, and to explain HIS Teachings and The Scripture as my reasoning for the things I hold dear.

Nevertheless, I do believe there are clear and obvious consequences to a life lived in sin, and I cannot, nor will I, deny that for the sake of political
correctness or some societal “trend”.

Moreover, as someone who was deceived by this very deception, and as someone who has walked through his share of fire with more surely to come, I cannot emphasize enough that I see it as my responsibility as the man that YAHWEH Created me to be, to not only pray that HIS Saving Grace & Mercy might visit on anyone who needs it, but to Act and to try to bring them into The Light by introducing them to JESUS The CHRIST through Word, Deed and Action.

Because Love is an Action, ya know!
 
In short, condoning that which we understand to be Biblically wrong must be the greatest hypocrisy. So as I struggle for the correct analogy and/or group of words which adequately reflect my deep sadness at watching the dismantling of our values & morals in favor of that which is without accountability or reason of family, let me instead tell you of a man whose entire life speaks to that very battle, as well as the will of JESUS The CHRIST and the power of HIS Healing Love in our lives. A man that has overcome... 

This man, is me, David Arthur, and my story is a record of turmoil to triumph, and from sin to a sense of purpose and worth. You are about to read an all too real story of Freedom, snatched from the jaws of defeat, a story of YESHUA, JESUS The CHRIST, over the devil, and of the power of a Living GOD, complete with all the riveting pain and Joy, as well as the Truth that “The Devil Is A Liar”!
 
I never knew my dad, he committed suicide before I was born. As a young child, seeking male affirmation and confirmation, there happened to be men who took advantage of that desire for male intimacy.

I was molested by more than one individual, but please understand that while these facts of life certainly affected me, and may have contributed to my fall, they were not excuses for my life’s choices.

My childhood was a blur of drugs, alcohol, and the homosexual deathstyle, driving me to run away from home numerous times, to the point where the state finally stepped in and placed me in an all-boys school. Not unlike many young folks lost in the battles of depression and family strife, I actually excelled to an above average standard in terms of my
school work and intelligence level.
 
Sadly, this would not be the trigger I needed to break the bonds of sin, already engulfing me with the fiery speed of a demon in hot pursuit of my soul.

By the age of 14, my growing love of the streets had taken over my entire life. I’d finally run away from home and was prostituting myself on a regular basis. I was dressing as a woman, taking female hormones, and was fully engaged in a world that included an endless cycle of parties, sex, drugs and alcohol.

Worse yet, completely taken in by the evil one, I was now HIV positive as a result, at the age of 14, but I continued to dive deeper into the dark world of homosexual and transgender prostitution, a world of confusion and lies that would bring me to death's door eventually. A crossroad of Life or Death! 
 
As if things could not get any worse, my nefarious activities had drawn the attention of law enforcement and I found myself in juvenile lock-up as a teen, and county lock-up as an adult, which became a “normal” routine for me. I would eventually, many years later, serve the better part of two sentences in state prison. In prison, the inmate population saw me as somewhat of a “commodity”, yes, a piece of property. And I was actually okay with that.
 
Conducting myself as a female, I felt a misguided sense of belonging, and even enjoyed my time of incarceration, at least to a degree. So with that misplaced sense of belonging, I set about doing my time and “living” my life. As illnesses continued to worsen in prison, however, and I eventually began to find myself longing for something I could not quite understand or identify.

Time, especially time spent in jail, can do this to you. It was during this period that I began to wonder why whenever a certain Correctional Officer (CO) would work in my unit I actually wanted to talk with this Christian man, while the other inmates would scramble and say, “Let’s go… Here comes Bishop” (which is what we all called him).
 
My first encounter with “Bishop” was not a good one. The first words this man of GOD spoke to me were, “Well, David. Do you know that GOD didn’t Create you to be this way?” referring to my homosexual and transgender appearance and mannerisms. I was offended, hurt, angry and I could not believe he had the nerve to say that to me. He hurt my feelings. He told me often, because he could, that "GOD did not Create me that way." And I am glad that he did!

 
I began to speak with ‘Bishop’ on a regular basis. I tried to read bits and pieces (The Book of Psalms and never going beyond that) of The Bible my mother had sent to me and to listen as “Bishop” explained to me that this was not who/what "GOD Created me to be.”

For the first time in my life, I had come across a person who I knew truly and purely Loved me, without a shadow of a doubt, and wanted absolutely nothing from him, but rather only wanted to pour into me what had been poured into him. This was strange and almost alien to me, but I simply desired to know more of this saving Grace & Mercy that ‘Bishop’ spoke of. Our conversations continued and my interest continued to grow as well.
 
I was eventually released from prison, and sadly I did not continue seeking Truth, but instead I returned to my old life not long after being released. Like a dog to its vomit I returned with a vengeance. As my life continued to spin out of control, one sin seemed only to lead to another as I was now gambling and selling drugs on a regular basis. My sexual partners were many, some paid, others not.

My health had become an issue and was now rapidly deteriorating. Doctors explained that I now had Osteoporosis (2008) and was suffering from diabetes as well as a host of other “illnesses” ie: anxiety, bipolar, major chronic depression, PTSD, personality disorder, and sleeping disorders.
 
Returning to my old ways had me laying on my death-bed within 3 years (2009) of being released from prison. Suffering from infections in my brain & blood while experiencing mini-strokes brought on by the infections as well as a devastated immune system (that means my immune system was non-existent) ravaged by the virus raging inside of me, I walked with a cane at first and eventually a walker, and was nearly confined to a hospital bed placed in my home. Hospice set into place. Boils popping out all over my body added to the immense pain I was in.
 
In 2009, doctors had told me they could do no more for me and that I would die at home. The devil had done his job well with this chain smoking addict and stood proudly poised to claim his prize in short order.
 
Oh wait, "But GOD"… yes, But GOD Almighty was not prepared to accept defeat in my life. I hadn’t forgotten my friend in prison, and I often remembered his words of encouragement, I began crying out to GOD Almighty, begging HIM to just "take it all away".

Take away the pain of addiction and sin. Take away the misery of depression, loneliness and sickness. Take away the anguish of living without the knowledge of HIS Love and Mercy. I knew that I deserved hell and was on my way there! I knew that I was afraid to die because I didn’t want to go to hell! I also knew that HE was not "sending me to hell" but HE was going to honor my choice to go there! 
 
There were no pastors or brethren surrounding me to pray for me, with me or over me. There was nobody having Bible studies with me. No laying on of hands.

There was only The FATHER and me.

I picked up The Bible and opened it to one single passage that wrecked the entire foundation I had ever stood upon, Romans 1:27. That passage told me that men burning in lust for one another, giving up the “Natural Function” of the woman…. Wow! I was taken aback. I was convicted! That condemnation brought my sinning heart to repentance. HalleluYAH!
 
I had reached the lowest point in my life and I was surrendering to YAHWEH, GOD Almighty, no matter the consequences. I was begging for JESUS The CHRIST to intervene in my life and take me "Home."

I knew that my life was in the hands of my Maker, and strangely I wasn’t troubled by that. I prayed with the power of a man struggling to throw off the enemy in favor of my One, True, Living GOD, and I pledged everything I was about, everything I could, or would, become, and everything in my life. I knew at that very moment, that if it was HIS Will, that I would not be going to hell. I needed HIM to rescue me!

That is all I wanted and prayed for, to not go to hell. I did not spend hours praying for healing, just asked HIM to not honor my choice to go to hell. The choice that I made my entire life while living for the enemy. I declared hell through my words, deeds and actions all of my life, and I understood that at that moment.

It was 2009 and it was suddenly very quiet. For the first time in my life, I was truly unafraid. I awoke with
a Peace and a Joy in my heart that I had never known.

I awoke with the Comfort of knowing that I was not going to hell. I begged The FATHER to take me Home, but asked that through my death HE would be Glorified, and that someone would come to know HIM through my own death (selfishly I was thinking of my Mom).
 
Within weeks of Believing, Praying and begging for Forgiveness, I was out of bed and walking unassisted. My T-Cells were normal and my “viral load” was undetectable. A nurse practitioner who I visited regularly confirmed what the doctors just would not admit outside of the diplomas hanging on their walls,  that it was truly "a miracle”!!
 
Subsequent visits to the doctor’s office were no less dramatic, with the medical team explaining that “it must have been a radical diet change” or some other anomaly which was causing my “miraculous” recovery, while not wanting to use the word, “healing”.
 
I knew better, however. How then would they explain that my bone density was now off the charts and the effects of osteoporosis had seemingly been reversed. The same Osteoporosis which had left me nearly bed ridden just months earlier?

How was it that the burning brain infections that had threatened to kill me were now eradicated? I had even signed off of the psych medications I was taking, telling my therapist: “I just don’t need these anymore”. “I don’t need you anymore”. “I have GOD”!

I was “on fire for The LORD” and there was no stopping me.
 
One thing I understood from my “Moment of Grace” was that all of those psych diagnosis’ were not “diseases”, but they were “symptoms” or “results” of being of the world, and I was no longer of this world. AMen!
 
There are simply no limitations to the power of JESUS The CHRIST’S intervention so long as you accept HIS Love and Forgiveness of sin. I have even dropped from a massive 450+ lbs. to 196 all while simply praying for the guidance and life discipline only HE can provide. I may have found 50 of those pounds this last year, but HIS Presence continues to be ever-present in, and all around, me.
 
YAHWEH has allowed me to attain a powerful tool. Needless to say, the power of this “tool” that GOD has granted me, this testimony, has left me in awe and slightly shaken. Don’t tell me of your conflicts. Don’t tell me of your need for acceptance or validation. Don’t tell me of your anguish over your station in this life. And while we all have our “crosses” to bear, none is greater than HIS or its power to overcome yours.
 
Now there will be those who dismiss this story as the extreme, and still others who try and paint me as misrepresenting my sexual orientation or previous deathstyle for the purposes of promoting my Faith. And indeed there have been those from my past who’ve sought to derail my journey. Well my friends, denial has become far too prevalent in our society today, and many of those same nay-sayers now seek me out, but for different reasons, begging me to help them find and discover the "Joy" that I have.

These nay-sayers beg to understand how the void of death that once took residence in my eyes has now become a sparkling Light of Life. And I say to them, as I say to you, “It’s free for all those who truly seek it”!
 
My story is indeed one of Hope and rebirth, of a sheep gone astray of its shepherd, manipulated by the evil one, and then saved by the Mercy of a Loving and Forgiving GOD. And so looking at it through that lens, what’s next? Well, I now regularly network and travel to tell GOD’S Testimony of my life to any who will listen, I hope to eventually initiate a “safe house” project for those trapped by the lgbt deception to go to for proper discipleship. AMen.
 
While there are intervention houses for all of the related issues of drugs and alcohol, anger and other issues, there aren’t any to provide the assistance and spiritual guidance to folks confused by the myriad of misinformation being spewed by the modern media and public schools today that misrepresent our design as Created and intended to be.
 
I believe that this type of support network is essential in providing everything from day to day living quarters for those on the street who’ve been shunned and cast out, to spiritual and scriptural guidance (discipleship) away from the darkness of sin.

Our commission is two-fold, to evangelize and disciple! There is hope, and I am motivated as only YAHWEH, GOD Almighty, can motivate, and by the power of HIS Holy Spirit that saved me and dwells within me, to help rescue those lost souls trapped by a lie of monumental proportions. AMen!
 
To that end, I am available to speak on request, and am willing to travel around the country in support of Truth, in Love, because we Love, which is only possible because we were 1st Loved,  and under the banner of this ministry that GOD has Blessed me with, “I Belong, Amen Ministries”.
 
I truly hope that you are moved by this short and wholly inadequate representation of a life changed, and that you might consider supporting IBA Ministries’ efforts as we go out to set the record straight.
 
I am living proof, a walking, breathing, living testimony. I am unafraid to state The Truth, in Love.

Be joyful in the risen LORD today and always…

In HIS Precious & Perfect Grip, 
David Arthur

That's Not Fair!

Rhys McKinnon attended the University of Victoria in British Columbia, where he got a bachelor’s degree in philosophy in 2005. Sometime thereafter, Rhys McKinnon decided he was a “she,” so that by the time he received his Ph.D. at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, the name on the diploma was “Rachel Veronica McKinnon" and who evidently recently changed His name again to "veronica ivy"! SMH Really?!?!?
This transgender cyclist Rhys "rachel" McKinnon has defended His right to compete in women's sport despite and regardless of the fact that male/tranny athletes retain a physical advantage over their actual female rivals because Rhys "rachel" is a male, a man, and he needs to be told this if he will ever have the chance to coming out of that deceptive darkness instead of lied to, coddled and pacified with political correct garbage!!

As a man Rhys couldn't cut it in sports and so he figured he could identify as a female (an impossibility) and then he could beat women in sports, and that is what he has done and is going to continue to do if we do not stop this madness now!!!

None of the races he has won are valid. The 2nd runner up in those races should be given the 1st place and this nonsense should be erased from the books once and for all!

I Got This! Uhhhh, No Ya Don't!!

Some people stumble into sin. Some fall. Some jump. While others play around on the edges, seeing how close they can get to it without doing it, until they plunge right back in. Poof! It really is that simple.

The very first thing we must do, when coming out of the world, out of sin and away from our old habits, is admit that we are powerless, and that our lives are unmanageable outside of YESHUA, JESUS The CHRIST.


One way to test whether you have done well with this or need to give it more work is to see how you view the world. Do you look on it with dread or with longing? Do you miss it or are you Overjoyed to be out of it?


Some people, secretly longing for rather than fearing sin, try to see how close they can get to it without an actual fall. They maintain friendships with those who have chosen to continue in sin and who try to tempt them to do likewise. They participate in unholy and spiritually unbeneficial things. They go to movies and watch television programs. Foolishly thinking, "I can handle this now," they play around the edges of sin, only to be amazed when they fall in and then are shocked at how difficult it is to get back out!

Outside of JESUS The CHRIST, we are powerless over sin and the god of this world! Some of us never really grasp this concept. This teaches that to try to get near this sin without committing it is as sensible as to see how near you can get to a grizzly bear without becoming his next meal!

The one who has accepted their powerlessness and has developed a deep sense of the terrible, destructive power that sin can exercise over his or her life, stays as far away from it as is humanly possible.

If you don’t want to fall, or stumble, then stay away from those people, places and things that will stir in you a sense of false boldness to see how close you can get to the sin without actually sinning. That's just a simple and practical way of stating the reality that Freedom speaks to.
Pay attention! Will you?

Accept that you are powerless outside of YESHUA, JESUS The CHRIST. Do this over again thoroughly, thoughtfully, and above all prayerfully. Remember your powerlessness and emotional unmanageability and beware. "Put ye on the LORD JESUS The CHRIST, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof" ~ Romans 13:14.

Oh Precious FATHER, Will we ever learn? Please teach us, by YOUR HOLY GHOST and through YOUR Word how helpless we are, without YOU, against the flesh, the world, and our adversary just waiting to pounce and devour. Please teach us to abide in YOU and to keep as much distance between ourselves and sin as is humanly possible.

Allow us to learn from Scripture rather than from bitter experience. Thank YOU FATHER, for all of the Blessings YOU bestow upon us all. I Praise & Glorify YOU Almighty FATHER Above, and I Pray and ask this all in The Precious Name of YESHUA, JESUS The CHRIST. Amen.

Two Steppin'

Have you ever heard of "two-stepping"? No, nothing to do with dancing. It's a term used in recovery to describe people who discover their powerlessness and the insanity of the life they've been living and, without working towards actually rediscovering their true identity in YESHUA, JESUS The CHRIST, and the Freedom only available in HIM, they rush to carry The GOoD News to the world.

The results are usually disastrous. The two-stepper, who has not gotten to a place of True Freedom, fades and then falls away, leaving those to whom they've spoken to disillusioned and even more skeptical than before. We must be careful not to make this very mistake.
 
We must have had a True Spiritual Awakening before we begin carrying the message. YESHUA, JESUS The CHRIST, has laid before us a sure way to come to HIM and to receive the Hope of Eternal Salvation. Believe. Repent. Be Baptized. Surrender. Live Accordingly. That's Freedom.
 
We must remember that we have not "arrived" until we attain "the measure of the stature of the fullness of CHRIST" (Ephesians 4:13). For all of us, there is still plenty of room for improvement!  
 
In carrying the message to others that are hurting and lost we find the real, deep wells of Joy in being an Overcomer. While it gives the Joy of a closer walk with YAHWEH, GOD Almighty, thrilling self-discovery, and ever-increasing Freedom, it can, at times, be painful, discouraging, or maybe, for some, just boring!
 
What will keep us going when we hit those dry patches where our soul can become parched? It's the Joy of seeing others find the Truth and grow in the Grace and Knowledge of The Will and The Word of GOD Almighty. Are there ever disappointments? Of course! But the rich rewards of being used by YAHWEH to Bless others in life-changing ways keeps us going until we reach our goal!
 
Oh, Heavenly FATHER, Thank YOU for this day and for all of the Mighty Blessings, great & small, YOU have so graciously and so abundantly bestowed upon each one of us on a daily basis. I truly need YOUR Joy! I thank YOU for not pampering my selfishness by giving it to me to keep all to myself. Thank YOU for leading me out of myself and into YOUR Likeness as I reach out to seek and to reach the lost. Encourage me. Bless my faltering efforts. Grant me the grace of patience. Then, please grant me YOUR Joy. I Praise & Glorify YOU. I Pray to YOU in The Mighty & Powerful Name of YESHUA, JESUS The CHRIST. Amen.

The Homosexual Manifesto Explained. Life Experience Here!

2/11/2020

Comments

 
Picture
The Homosexual Manifesto (what we will call THM for short), a piece written by a "homosexual activist". It is the lgbt movement's agenda. Here I will pick it apart and tell, from my own life experience & knowledge, how I know these things to have already come to pass. The lgbt movement has succeeded in completing this agenda. 

Again, this is a "hard read". The first line of THM says, "We shall sodomize your sons, emblems of your feeble masculinity, of your shallow dreams and vulgar lies." 

This is what the lgbt movement refers to as "recruiting". What we call molestation! I was "recruited" (molested) into this movement and most trapped in this darkness were also recruited into it. And most of the recruited (molested) become recruiters (molesters). Yes, I did as well. Lured teenage boys into that darkness, even some preteen. 

Worse yet, I was trying to infect as many as I could with the HIV virus. This is another very common occurrence in this movement. And so I watched, and was witness, and even participant, to some very ugly and horrid events in this movement. 

I watched some young boys, and girls, being seduced with money, jewelry, alcohol, drugs, material things, etc.... and then they were passed around, used up, profited off of and eventually, when of no more value to their "handler" they were thrown out like common garbage. 

And this is why we have so many people nowadays on psych meds, alcohol, drugs, on the streets and involved in sex-trafficking, the porn industry and prostitution. It all stems back to the abuse, and use, they too have suffered. Victims victimize; not all, but majority. 

The second line of THM says, "We shall seduce them in your schools, in your dormitories, in your gymnasiums, in your locker rooms, in your sports arenas, in your seminaries, in your youth groups, in your movie theater bathrooms, in your army bunkhouses, in your truck stops, in your all male clubs, in your houses of Congress, wherever men are with men together."

How do I know this to be true? Well, I engaged in sexual activity with a janitor while in school. Let's also look at how many teachers have been caught having sex with students, and how teachers have, over the last ten years or so, been "coming out of the closet" and admitting that they are proud homosexuals. Even school bus drivers have come out, in the news, as transgender and homosexual. 


Also engaged while in the dorms at my court-appointed all boys school as a teen. Gym was another place to admire other boys and engage. Locker rooms are known for the "secret activity" especially in the saunas and steam rooms. Youth groups, like Boy Scouts....well, no need to go there as we all know how the lgbt movement infiltrated the Boy Scouts. The movie theater was one of my favorite places to go as a child, from the dark theater to the bathrooms there was always an unending supply of "attention" from men that used and abused me, although I just saw it as "love and attention". 

Army bunkhouses... although I was never in the military, I have seen plenty of "hidden cam" and "spycam" websites where the bunkhouses and latrines were known for homosexual activity. I can speak on truck stops, as the restrooms and truck stops were one of the places I'd spend hours upon hours in while engaging in sexual activity with more men than I could ever count. Most of these men had their girlfriends or wives and families waiting in the car for them while they were in a stall engaging in homosexual sin with me. 

The enemy has been focused on children from the very beginning, and now has the access he's been seeking by using the lgbt movement as one of his many pawns..... they are in the schools, teaching your children & grandchildren that having two mommies or two daddies is the very same exact thing as having a mommy and a daddy, and maybe even better. 

I have seen many college dormitories where there is a lot of homosexual activity going on in the showers and bathrooms. I used to visit one college campus just to "cruise" a certain bathroom that actually had "glory holes" in the stall walls. And for those who do not know, a glory hole is a hole in a wall/stall that can be used for peeking or other activities. 

Gymnasiums and locker rooms, just another place where men can view boys in locker rooms, showers, etc.... There are actually numerous websites online that are made from hidden cameras in gyms and showers all over the world. Some very young boys and men have no idea they are being recorded and posted on the world wide web. 

Sports arenas..... well, how many professional athletes (role models to many children) have recently "come out of the closet" and admitted that they are homosexual and proud of it??? Too many!!! These children see these men and women as role models, and will follow in their footsteps if they have nothing, or no one, else to admire and look up to. 

Youth groups.... not long ago, at Saddleback Church (Rick Warren's church) their youth pastor was charged with molesting some of the boys there. Well, that is not a rare occurrence and is happening all over this world!! Not just church youth groups either!! 

The movie theater bathrooms were one of my own hangouts. As well as truck stop bathrooms. Any public bathroom really, it was, and still is, where homosexual sex festers in the air and infects men and boys of any persuasion. I have watched men participate in sexual activity in a rest stop bathroom and then go get back in the car with their wife and kids, kiss their wife and drive off like nothing ever happened. 

Army bunkhouses, well, just look at how we went from "don't ask, don't tell" to special rights for transgender soldiers / lgbt soldiers. That one is very obvious! 

In your all male clubs..... I have two words for you, "Boy Scouts". Enough said. Infiltrated and doomed. I actually must offer this brief testimony. Back in 2007, I was traveling through Connecticut and stopped at a rest stop (I was always looking to engage in activity in public restrooms at this time) and there was a Boy Scout Troop outside the rest stop offering coffee and snacks for travelers. That was nice. So I went in to the bathroom and not long after came in one of the two adults that was standing outside with the scouts, I am guessing he was a troop leader. Well, he wasted no time giving me the sign and coming on to me, and the rest is not important. What is important is that I actually made a statement about the boy scouts and how pleased he must be on camping trips, and he said, "No better position to be in my friend". 

I think back to that now and wonder how many young men, and boys, that man had "recruited" (molested) into the lgbt movement. I truly wish I could remember his face or something about him, but I cannot as faces were always a blur when all I was seeking was to satisfy the lusts of this ole flesh!

And lastly the Congress, as we can see where the last "President" stood on this topic, the lgbt movement has truly infiltrated Congress as well. 

The last few lines of the first paragraph of THM says, "Your sons shall become our minions and do our bidding. They will be recast in our image. They will come to crave and adore us."

Just look at our young men, let's say 30 and under. Emasculated. Effeminate. Males trying to be androgynous, as "boy-like" as possible and having no desire to "be men"! 

Schools have become "safe zones" for the lgbt movement, and so all students must learn to like them, protect them and these same young men are being told that (while their hormones are raging) that homosexuality is okay and normal. But they are also being fed another lie, that bisexuality is normal and that all boys "experiment" with one another. 

Bisexuality does not exist. If you are a male and engage in sexual activity with another male, then you are guilty of the sin of homosexuality. And it doesn't matter if one of those males thinks they should be, wanna be, could be, can dress up as, feels like or identifies as the opposite sex, they are still male, no matter what type of mutilation they perform on their bodies. 

And if you are a male and engage in sexual activity with a female outside of wedlock, then you are guilty of the sin of fornication, or adultery (depending on marital status). 

So bisexuality does not exist! If it did then homosexuality must then be considered a "sexual orientation" and we know that it is not because it is sin. Sin cannot be an orientation. 

Nobody is Created, or designed, by GOD, "that way". We are all "born that way", whatever "that" is for each of us as sinners. We are all born into sin, and shaped in iniquity, which is why JESUS said we must be "Born Again"! Amen. 

Homosexuality, when presented to young developing and sexually confused minds, becomes pornographic and it confuses the maturing process and minds of the youth immensely. There is no doubt about it.

The second paragraph of THM says, "Women, you cry for freedom. You say you are no longer satisfied with men; they make you unhappy. We, connoisseurs of the masculine face, the masculine physique, shall take your men from you then. We will amuse them; we will instruct them; we will embrace them when they weep. Women, you say you wish to live with each other instead of with men. Then go and be with each other. We shall give your men pleasures they have never known because we are foremost men too, and only one man knows how to truly please another man; only one man can understand the depth and feeling, the mind and body of another man."

I cannot even begin to tell you the countless times men have called their wives, girlfriends or fiances from my home, explaining to them how they would be late because they "had something to do". 

Many of them making these calls while engaging in sexual activity with me. And I don't make these claims to gross anyone out or to boast & brag, but to show and prove exactly what is going on. When I was a transgender prostitute, majority of my "clients" were married, engaged or involved with women, some of them many women. These men were not using protection (condoms) with me, and so were bringing the HIV virus right back home. 

Some of the men did request we use condoms, but I had special condoms just for them in my bedside drawer. Condoms that I had already tainted and poked holes in because I wanted to infect anyone and everyone that I possibly could with HIV. That is what an angry, confused, broken and tormented person does.

This is more of a caution to women, to all women, especially those who think that it could never happen to them because their man can't stand homos. Well, guess what..... the men that I met, and engaged in activity with, were of all races and all ages. From 12 to 85, white, black, spanish, asian and so on. Business men, drug dealers, students, church deacons and the list goes on. 

Please ladies, do not offer yourself to any man unless you know that he first Loves The LORD more than he Loves you.

The third paragraph of THM says, "All laws banning homosexual activity will be revoked. Instead, legislation shall be passed which engenders love between men. All homosexuals must stand together as brothers; we must be united artistically, philosophically, socially, politically and financially. We will triumph only when we present a common face to the vicious heterosexual enemy."

Now at this point, many people are still referring to homosexuals as the opposite to heterosexuals, and that is wrong and part of the problem. Let's start making it clear that homosexuals are no different than liars, murderers, pedophiles, thieves, etc.... they are sinners, not designed to be what they do. But also trapped in a darkness of confusion that envelopes them to no ends. 

The "vicious heterosexual enemy" line gets me the most because it continues to have people think on the lines of homosexuals being different than heterosexuals. Untrue! We are all heterosexual by design, in GOD'S Perfect Design! Some of us just never learned how to accept that fact and were tainted by this homosexual sin, which has become a movement, and is now considered a sexual orientation, and it is not!

The fourth paragraph of THM says, "If you dare to cry faggot, fairy, queer, at us, we will stab you in your cowardly hearts and defile your dead, puny bodies."

This one line paragraph speaks very loud and very clear as to the lgbt movement's intent and character. This is why nobody, and I mean nobody, can be an "ally of the lgbt" without being an enemy of YAHWEH!! 

All forms of depraved sexual acts like bestiality, necrophilia, pedophilia, homosexuality, sodomy, incest, and so on and so on, stem in, through and out of this dark deceptive movement. 

Not only was the normalization of homosexual activity the "tipping point" for the Great Flood, but the first great crime of the post-Flood human race was none other than the sodomizing of Noah himself by his own son Ham. Granted, Noah was largely to blame - he got drunk on "We survived the end of the world!" festivities - but it's hardly a coincidence that this specific act was the one that drew down the generational curse on the descendants of Ham's son Canaan (including of course Sodom and Gomorrah themselves later in the Book of Genesis).

“The generation of the Flood were not blotted out from the world until they composed nuptial songs (until they wrote marriage deeds for males and beasts — i.e. they fully legalized such practices) in honor of pederasty and bestiality,” it noted – [Midrash, Genesis (Bereshith) [XXVI. 4-5] p. 213].

The fifth paragraph of THM says, "We shall write poems of the love between men; we shall stage plays in which man openly caresses man; we shall make films about the love between heroic men which will replace the cheap, superficial, sentimental, insipid, juvenile, heterosexual infatuations presently dominating your cinema screens. We shall sculpt statues of beautiful young men, of bold athletes which will be placed in your parks, your squares, your plazas. The museums of the world will be filled only with paintings of graceful, naked lads."

The reason this is so important to understand is because YESHUA, JESUS The CHRIST, established intimacy among men of GOD. Intimacy has changed definition in this world we live in. We associate intimacy with sex, and that is not what it is at all!! Intimacy is not sex! Sex is not another level of intimacy. Sex is sex and intimacy is intimacy. Simple.

The enemy has taken true intimacy, which is what all men of GOD should have with one another, and made it into something sexual, dirty, filthy and sick, while also making it sensual and seducing. 

The latter part of the paragraph has been established as well. Just go to your local museum and see what covers the walls and expos.

The sixth paragraph of THM says, "Our writers and artists will make love between men fashionable and de rigueur, and we will succeed because we are adept at setting styles. We will eliminate heterosexual liaisons through usage of the devices of wit and ridicule, devices which we are skilled in employing."

Again, this has happened in our youth and younger generations already. It is popular to be "bisexual" (worldly term, which we know doesn't truly exist). So in other words, it is popular for boys to engage in sex with boys and with girls because the desensitization towards sex will assure no one is "waiting for marriage" or having any respect for the very Intent of GOD'S GoOD Design / Creation.

The seventh paragraph of THM says, "We will unmask the powerful homosexuals who masquerade as heterosexuals. You will be shocked and frightened when you find that your presidents and their sons, your industrialists, your senators, your mayors, your generals, your athletes, your film stars, your television personalities, your civic leaders, your priests are not the safe, familiar, bourgeois, heterosexual figures you assumed them to be. We are everywhere; we have infiltrated your ranks. Be careful when you speak of homosexuals because we are always among you; we may be sitting across the desk from you; we may be sleeping in the same bed with you."

Again, let us not lose sight that all homosexuals are already heterosexual by GOD'S very Intent and Design. But here, again, we have the comparison that homosexuals will "masquerade" as heterosexuals. This is very important in being True to GOD'S Creation and HIS very intent because we cannot believe the lie. Remember, it would not be called deception if you knew you were being deceived. 

The last few lines of this paragraph remind me of a bumper sticker I seen while on the road on a mission trip. I kept seeing this little red car on the highway and the reason it stood out was because it had bumper stickers all over it's rear. Well, I seen the infamous "CoExist" (more lies) sticker and the rainbow (pride lgbt) stickers as well, but the one read, "be careful who you hate, it may be someone you love" and it had an lgbt rainbow pride flag. I prayed for the person driving the car as I drove down the highway. 

Later on down the road I stopped at a rest area because the fog was so thick I no longer felt comfortable driving. I parked, went in and used the facilities and came back out to get something out of my trunk. Well, who was parked next to me???? That little red car. I didn't see anyone in the car so I figured they must be in the rest stop. 

As I was closing my trunk I noticed a woman lighting a cigarette outside the car, while leaning on it. I spoke, something like how are you, or nasty weather, who knows..... anyways, when we got to chatting she referred to her husband and kids a few times so I felt The HOLY GHOST leading me to ask her about her bumper stickers. I did. 

She told me that her son is "gay" and that she and her husband used to put homosexuals down and it was well known in their home that they did not like homosexuality. (None of us should "like" sin, just saying) So she told me that her son tried to commit suicide and when they asked him why, in the hospital, he told them cause he was "gay" and he knew that they would hate him because of it. 

Wow! I automatically felt the need to pray with her, and for her, and then I gave her one of my books. I explained to her about hating the sin, but loving her son. I also told her how by accepting or condoning it, will not take away her sons misery or his depression. Well, GOD explained to her, through HIS HOLY GHOST, and then I told her my own testimony. 

She wept as we talked, and hugged, and cried, we noticed the fog had lifted and it was a beautiful clear night. We looked at one another with the understanding that the fog which made each of us stop at the rest area was not "coincidental" and neither was it "just something that happened". We knew, without even saying a word about it, that our meeting and time together was orchestrated by YAHWEH Alone. Amen!!

The eighth paragraph of THM says, "There will be no compromises. We are not middle-class weaklings. Highly intelligent, we are the natural aristocrats of the human race, and steely-minded aristocrats never settle for less. Those who oppose us will be exiled. We shall raise vast private armies, as Mishima did, to defeat you. We shall conquer the world because warriors inspired by and banded together by homosexual love and honor are invincible as were the ancient Greek soldiers."

I will not give this paragraph too much of my time. We can see here how the lgbt movement has placed themselves above others. Which brings me to a belief out there that is being taught in some "churches"..... that homosexuals are eunuchs (a Lie from the pit of hell!!!) and that homosexuals are GOD'S "chosen warriors" (another Lie from the pit of hell!!!). 

If it is not in The Holy Bible, which is YAH'S Infallible, Inerrant Word, then it is just not true!! 

By "banding together in homosexual love" is to not only be vicious but to also satisfy the lusts of the flesh. Personally, I would have attacked you verbally AND physically just to prove how "happy" I was. Yeah, I would viciously attack someone to make them understand how content and pleased I was with my life choices. Ridiculous I know. 

Homosexuality, like any other sin, is a choice. I know this because I chose to do it, and now I choose not to.

The ninth and tenth paragraphs of THM says, "The family unit-spawning ground of lies, betrayals, mediocrity, hypocrisy and violence--will be abolished. The family unit, which only dampens imagination and curbs free will, must be eliminated.

Perfect boys will be conceived and grown in the genetic laboratory. They will be bonded together in communal setting, under the control and instruction of homosexual savants."

Homosexuality is a direct and deliberate attack on GOD'S very intent of Creation. One male and one female. That is the very definition of "heterosexuality" and homosexuality is the sin that the enemy uses to attack the foundation of YAH'S Good Creation! 

By attacking the family unit, as a whole, and trying to remove the one father, one mother (GOD-Given) unit, and replace it with two daddies or two mommies would simply lead to depopulating the world. 

The enemy knows that he has lost the war, so he will try to win as many battles as he can.

The eleventh paragraph of THM says, "All churches who condemn us will be closed. Our only gods are handsome young men. We adhere to a cult of beauty, moral and aesthetic. All that is ugly and vulgar and banal will be annihilated. Since we are alienated from middle-class heterosexual conventions, we are free to live our lives according to the dictates of the pure imagination. For us too much is not enough."

This paragraph says so much more to someone (like me, and many others set free from the bondage of this sin) who really understands this sin and this movement's goals. There are countries, right now, where saying homosexuality is a sin is considered hate-speech. Right here in our own country it is considered hate-speech to speak the Scriptures that condemn the sin of homosexuality. 

Sadly, many "churches" and "pastors" (and I use those terms lightly in this reference) have made the claim that homosexuality is not a sin, but a sexual orientation. And now we have "gay-churches" and "gay-pastors" (so sad). 

But they did say one thing in this paragraph that I agree with, that they (the lgbt movement) adheres to a "cult"! Yes! These "churches" and "congregations" that support this abominable sin, are cults and so very far away from The Truth. It is sad. And we must pray for the these people to come to know HIM and HIS Truth before it is too late. 

The LORD says, "Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near; Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon." ~ Isaiah 55:6-7 

This verse not only gives hope to those individuals that they can forsake their evil ways and The LORD will abundantly pardon, but it also tells me that HIS Patience is exhaustible and there may come a time when HE will refuse to be found, or to be "near". 

The last two lines of this paragraph about living their lives unto their imaginations and that "too much is not enough" is exactly what happens to all of us when we are trapped in bondage, any bondage. Too much is never enough because we will never be satisfied and we will continuously dive deeper into whatever sin it is, only to find that we remain unsatisfied and must go deeper, and even darker. Eventually, if not rescued by YESHUA, JESUS The CHRIST, we are consumed by our own sin.

For me, I was never satisfied with what I achieved, and if I was it didn't last very long, because I was never going to be satisfied. And so, too much was never enough. I always dove deeper into the darkness and so on and so on. Never ending cycle of debauchery and abominable actions! 

The twelfth paragraph of THM says, "The exquisite society to emerge will be governed by an elite comprised of gay poets. One of the major requirements for a position of power in the new society of homoeroticism will be indulgence in the Greek passion. Any man contaminated with heterosexual lust will be automatically barred from a position of influence. All males who insist on remaining stupidly heterosexual will be tried in homosexual courts of justice and will become invisible men."

The absolute only thing that I can think of when reading this, is that this movement is a type of "mark of the beast" which we know is to come. We all keep thinking it has to do with other things, but just look at the world.

This paragraph makes me think that it is this very movement (lgbt movement) that will take over. And that the only ones who do not accept homosexuality (the sin of, which includes what we refer to as "bisexual", trans, etc) are going to be True Christians. 

This just came to me, and I am going to have to give this some serious thought and sit down with someone who has more knowledge of Scripture than I do. It would be interesting to see where this goes..... but this may very well be what the whole foundation is being laid for.

The thirteenth paragraph of THM says, "We shall rewrite history, history filled and debased with your heterosexual lies and distortions. We shall portray the homosexuality of the great leaders and thinkers who have shaped the world. We will demonstrate that homosexuality and intelligence and imagination are inextricably linked, and that homosexuality is a requirement for true nobility, true beauty in a man."

Again, this has already happened. 

The lgbt movement has rewritten The Bible and made their own bible, called "the queen james version" which depicts David and Jonathon as lovers instead of two men of GOD that shared the very intimacy men of GOD are Created to share. 

This movement has infiltrated the school system, the health & human services, family services, pediatricians, doctors, psychology, court system, and the list goes on. Scary.

The fourteenth and last paragraph / lines of The Homosexual Manifesto says, "We shall be victorious because we are fueled with the ferocious bitterness of the oppressed who have been forced to play seemingly bit parts in your dumb, heterosexual shows throughout the ages. We too are capable of firing guns and manning the barricades of the ultimate revolution. Tremble, hetero swine, when we appear before you without our masks.”

Being "fueled with ferocious bitterness" is not of YAHWEH. The anger, bitterness and confusion that those trapped in this bondage suffer from are everything that is contrary to What, and Who, YAHWEH truly is. 

The last line tells me that the time has come when we must take a stand and speak up and speak out! We must stop the indoctrination of children and our youth. We must protect our children and grand-children from the predators that have disguised themselves as the lgbt movement. As they "remove their masks" there will be more children lost to this darkness, this void, and so I ask...... 

What will you do to protect these babies?? These children? Your children? Your Grand-Children? Will you sit idly by, claiming to be an "ally" of the lgbt movement? Will you want to "let them love whoever they love"? Will you "leave it up to GOD, cause HE is the ultimate Judge, ya know"? Will you allow the schools to brainwash your children and grand-children even more? 

Maybe you will not speak up when they teach your children that having two mommies or two daddies is the same as having a mommy and a daddy. Will you allow the school, or some doctor, or psychiatrist/psychologist to place your child on hormones without your knowledge or permission? Will you remain silent when your grandchild tells you they are "gender-fluid"? Or when your own son comes home wearing make-up?? 

This is what is happening right now people. Wake Up!! Stand Up!! Speak Up!!

The lgbt movement has laid a foundation so that the next movement (which happens to be the root of the lgbt movement) can make it's move and rise up. The pedophile movement is rising up as you read this and making legal and lawful demands upon the very foundation laid by the lgbt movement.  

You can say what you want about how that would never happen. But 40 years ago homosexuality was considered sick, disgusting and a mental disorder. Now it is glorified, praised and "the in thing". It is in your face! In your child's face! In your grand-children's face! And it is not going away. 

Wake Up Sheeple! 

Do you know that right now, here in the USA, the school can call in an outside, adult, homosexual activist, to meet with your child or grandchild, without your knowledge or permission, and that activist doesn't need any degrees, certificates or special training with children?? 

Do you know that this activist can meet with your child, or grandchild, alone? For as long as he/she perceives necessary? And as often??? 

Do you want your child, or grandchild, to be alone with a predator? With someone who stands on the very foundation of this "Homosexual Manifesto"? 

Do you want some predator to know your child's inner most secrets and fantasies??? 

Well, that is what is happening. The only thing you can do is Stand Up! Speak Out! Speak Up! 

Get Informed! Get Involved!

Dictionary of Love.... or Lust... For Your Sons & Grandsons

Those debating whether homosexuals should be scout leaders should take a look at the dictionary to help decide whether or not homosexuals have an inordinate interest in young boys. The dictionary I refer to is the "Queens Vernacular" also known recently as "Gay Talk". Real as it gets folks!!

Following is a small sample of the 254 "gay" words for boys, described as "chicken." Chicken is the primary term; it clearly implies that boys are for consumption:

Chicken: a young recruit; any boy under the age of consent, heterosexual, fair of face and unfamiliar with homosexuality.

Freshly killed: (butchered) recently introduced to a-- f---ing. "See how bowlegged that chicken walks -- looks like he was freshly killed in the hayloft."

Pluck some feathers: rip off a drumstick; skin some chicken.

Head and heels: describing physical allurement, despite extreme youth, but too young or small to know what to do in bed: he must be helped by someone more experienced who will clasp the boy by his head and heels to lift him onto the c---.

Jail tail: any boy below the age of consent with whom sex merits a stretch in the pen.

Egg: a male child too young to be sexually developed and therefore considered neuter. Syn: peepee meat; yo-yo. Related terms: egg-sucker, a cradle robber; man who likes very young boys. Syn: peepee lover. ... "Anything older than ten is over the hill to a peepee lover". ... "(R)eady to crack open," said of a boy on the verge of puberty. Also see chicken.

Cupcake: young girlish boy, though not necessarily gay ... cupcakes; small but rounded buttocks, most temptingly found on narrow hipped boys. Syn: English Muffins; hone rolls; hot cross buns; rounders. "Ask that kid with the rounders if he'd be interested in joining in an ancient Greek initiation rite."

And on and on, for over a hundred more such terms. This lingo is absent from all normal national dictionaries -- for now. And, no folks, affectionate, non-sexual or helpful words for boys did not exist.

Look it up! Go get the homosexual dictionary and really learn what homosexual leaders -- including legislators, judges, prosecuting attorneys -- mean when they use their 12,000 word "secret code" among themselves.

The real "gay" language exposes the well-hidden, vulnerable underbelly of the homosexual political agenda. As parents' rights to rear and protect their children are destroyed to make room for more and more homosexual "civil rights," these sexual revolutionaries celebrate, making their way, classroom by classroom, toward legal access to all our children.

Hey, don't blame us, we just read the dictionary.

Being A Far Cry From Righteousness

2/1/2020

Although I do not have to apologize or be accountable for anyone else's ignorance and stupidity, let me just say that NO, I do not IN ANY WAY promote or agree with people attempting to belittle anyone, especially due to their sin/brokenness, and calling names.

I truly believe that those who call people names and try to belittle others who are lost, broken and very misled, are just trying to make up for their own character flaws or social, business or life failures. And sometimes it makes me wonder if maybe they are victims of some tragedy of the same nature that they never have confessed or spoken about.

When I see people attack other people and they tend to focus specifically on a specific group, it usually does mean they have some unresolved issues inside of themselves they have not dealt with. Or it could just be that because of their hatred of a certain group of people they cannot find that place of forgiveness in their own heart.

Sad, because that does remove them from The Will of YAHWEH and places them in the category of misrepresenting The Cross and the very purpose of JESUS' death on that Cross.

Praise YAHWEH that people felt comfortable enough to reach out to me and ask me about the ignorant comment they heard. I am thankful for each of you for not assuming that I would ever promote or think that that type of ignorance is okay. I do not. And I would suggest you do not subject yourself to that type of bitter hatred and wickedness.

A man that claims to be Christian, calling anyone lost in sin names is not representing The Almighty FATHER of The Bible. Especially to call anyone, be it a sinner or saint, "maggots"?!?!?!? How far from JESUS he is!

Some men become bitter due to their own failures and downfalls in life, business, goals, ministry, fatherhood, etc... and hold others responsible for their own failures and actions. Ridiculous I know. Bitterness seeps into their bones and makes them what they become. Just lift them in prayer to The One Who truly knows their deceitful and wicked heart. Amen.
