Who are the fathers of modern science again?

William Smith was a man hired in the 1790’s for the purpose of surveying and the Somerset Canal in England. While enjoying some time to himself he began to carefully examine and record the different layers of strata in the earth. He used his “goofing off” to create the first geological map of the entire country. He pretty much transformed the Science of Geology.

Later in 1900 A French physicist Named Teisserenc De Bort discovered the stratosphere, when he sent unmanned balloons into the upper atmosphere.
Prior to that in 1883 after the eruption of Krakatau (crack a tow ah) The atmosphere become heavily contaminated with particles of the once thriving island. These particles produced remarkable optical effects easily seen with the naked eye, all over the world. Today it is recognized that the observations where actually a pre discovery of the stratosphere under the influence of Krakatau.

2700 yrs ago there lived a Prophet by the name of Amos. A book written and titled after his names sake has some very interesting statements. That I found while researching about the last days.
Amos 8:14
He who builds His layer in the sky, and has founded His Strata in the Earth:
Who call for the waters of the sea, and pours them out on the face of the earth.
The LORD is His name.
2700 yrs ago scripture mentions the layers of the Atmosphere as well as the layers in the Earth’s Strata.
On top of all that, it goes on further to reveal the process of distilled rain. Mentioned previously in Job as well. Water is brought up from the ocean forms clouds and pours out on to the land.

Eat your heart out Modern Science. You’re a day old donut.

A Brilliant conclusion and confirmation.

So Friday night Switch was in full swing. The worship went well, and the preaching was...........well with God all things are possible.

Any how, during alter ministry one of the young men came up to me for some prayer.
I Immediately sensed a difference in his spirit from last week. As we were praying I felt Holy Spirit show me a few things about him. I shared both things. First was that I felt he took on burdens that were not his at all. Nothing serious, but after a while the weighed his soul down. Second I told him that his spirit seemed much more aware and lively. His countenence was much different, he seemed lighter.

He sat quietly for a moment........thinking about the word. Then he smiled like a small epiphany had just hit him square between the eyes, and out of sheer suprize he let a one of those......."heh oh yeah I get it laughs"

So I looked at him and said "what's up man, whatcha got"

He looked at me still smiling and thinking about it. " I lost my IPOD for a week"

That was revelation from God, and both words confirmed right there. The music he listened to and the stories and the senerios in the lyrics had a profound effect on the condition of his soul. So much so that even he saw the difference under unforseeable circumstances. When you listen to songs about heart ache and rebellion and hopelessness. You take in those words along with the emotions and spirits that perpetuate a bondage to those things. Ever cry to a song, or sulk to a song about a breakup? Or felt completely powerless, like you were always going to get the dirty end of the stick the rest of your miserable life?
Or maybe you felt wonderful and happy after a some praise and worship music? Felt like God was on your side and you could do anything?

He was taking on the burden of the author of those songs. Just I like used to. Even though he didn't write those songs and didn't live the authors experience....it became his.

Just as Lot's soul was vexed and tormented by the things he saw and heard day after day.

The Generation from Lot.

The greatest consequence to Lot was the generation that proceeded him. Though he found mercy in the Lord's eyes and was spared the judgement of Soddom and Gomorrah. He still had to reap what he allowed to be sewn into his family just from what was around them. His Daughters having grown up in that enviroment had a perverted understanding of God and morality. So much so that incest was acceptable to them for continuing a bloodline. So they got their father drunk and procreated with him.

If we continue to fight being Holy as God is Holy. Rationalizing Grace. (we are the only creatures who have the ability to rationalize. I look at that word as Ration of lies. I believe it directly linked to the nature of Satan,and the original sin)

We must shed this life from us completely. We must "put off the former things" and strive to know what it is to be a new creation, to renew our minds. To set the standard of Truth,given to us from the source,The Word of God.

Please pray for our youth. Please pray for this generation, I believe it to be the last generation. At any ate it is the last of it's kind.

Fight the seductive voice of settling for anything less than living in Christ until you are one with Him. Fight it to the death.

The Christian Soul vs The Human Self.

(continued from the last line of the last post)

Wether they were Christian or not. I stopped feeding "The Individualistic Infantile Self" Here's how JP Moreland describes one of the 5 parts of an empty self in his book " Love Your God With All Your Mind" published by NAVPRESS.

It is widely recognized that adolescent personality traits are staying with people longer today than in earlier generations, sometimes manifesting themselves into the early thirties. Created by a culture filled with pop psychology, schools and media that usurp parental authority, and television ads that seem to treat everyone like a teenager, the infantile part of the empty self needs instant gratification, comfort, and soothing. The infantile person is controlled by infantile cravings and constanly seeks to be filled up with and made whole by food, entertainment, and consumer goods. Such a person is preoccupied with sex, physical appearance, and body image and tends to live by feelings and experiences. For the infantile personality type, pain, endurance, hard work, and delayed gratification are anathema. (Accursed) Pleasure is all the matters, and it had better be immediate, Boredom is the greatest evil, amusement the greatest good.

Wow.................so I see some empty self in me. How about you? The most troubling thing about these traits is they are found all over the Western Church today. I find the level of Apathy and carousing in vetern "believers" astonishing.

I think the single most contributing factor to this type of self is what we feed ourselve. We will eventually acclimate to the enviroment that we surround ourselves with. "Your vision is your future" so to say.

2Peter 2:7-8 Says that "righteous Lot" (Remember Peter is addressing us the Christians) was oppressed by the filthy conduct of the wicked, and that dwelling amoung them tormented his Soul day after day. Simply by what he saw and heard, it wasn't even nessecary for him to participate in the wickedness for it to have a traumatic effect on his soul.

If you could tatoo your soul this is how it's done. No wonder the Christian mind is where it's at today

Most of our youth are going through the same struggles by one means or another. They've even admitted to know what the source of the battle is for them. It's not hard to figure out what the source is. It's what continues to remain despite everything else the've done to assess the problem. They continue to listen to the same music, media, and they have the same nonChristian relationships. What's a good definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over again yet expecting different results.

I hate you Satan. You are defeated. God is faithful and Just to finish the work He started in our youth, Church, and Me.

(Sorry if My spelling and grammar were crummy these last few posts, I'm working with a limited time for editing and my spell check isn't working)

A Warning From Lot

I've been really trying to meditate on 2Peter 2:4-11
4)For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down to hell ( the word used for hell there is actually the Greek word "Tartarus" taken from Greek Mythology. Tartarus, is a place that is lower than hades and is reserved for the most wicked humans,gods,and demons) and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgment; 5) and did not spare the ancient world, but saved Noah, one of eight people, a preacher fo righteousness, bringing in the flood on the world of the ungodly; 6) and tuning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, making them an example to those who afterward would live ungodly; 7) and delivered righteous Lot who was oppressed by the filthy conduct of the wicked 8) (for that righteous man, dwelling among them, tormented his righteous soul from day to day by seeing and hearing their lawless deeds)
now it's important to mention here that Peter is addressing Christians here.

I think it's amazing what he says about lot. If you go back and read Gen 19:1-29 you can see some of the effects the "seeing and hearing" the deeds had on lot and his family. Peter refers to Lot as a "righteous" man, something to think about.

Lately we've had a lot of oppression coming against the Youth of our church. I hear them telling me about how they are struggling with things and we pray about it together and they presume to repent, and leave that thing behind all the while holding a " Man I hope I'm through with this " type of uncertainty lingering behind their eyes. I remember my struggles in my youth with veiwing pornography, speaking evil of people (and by evil I mean saying things like "That person should just die already" as a joke......right) I prided myself on wearing my heart on my sleeve so everyone could see my burdens (or at least hear about them all the time). I battled a whole slue of unessesary sinfulness.

Oh I would get convicted, and "repent" (feel sorry, for feeling sorry) and make my promises to do better next time, and say bold things like I'm never doing that again. As if I could do it in my own strength..............yeah right. I finally decieded to Repent one day. (what a novel Idea) The first order of buisness was to remove the things contributing to this type of sin conscieousness. I Got rid of my television and VCR first. I decided to never purchase a video game system again. And eventually I freed my mind and heart from any and all music that did not glorify God and promote a life of Holiness. I decided that God ment more to me than my emotions and only he could fix me. Not someone with a clever melody perpetuating insanity and then singing over and over again about the madness that has become life to them.

Interpretation?

This last dream was very detailed, and troubling to me. I decided to take it to the Lord in Prayer. Here is was I have so far. I believe that the Lord is telling me that Prayer is seed that must be sewn before a storm, and that there is a harvest to reap after the rains have watered the ground.Though storms carry destruction and wind. They almost always carry some sort of water. The prayer is watered in layboring through the storm, and there is a harvest that is brought forth.

There was another dream that came before these two. I was fighting physically with some large powerful men. I could have taken them and subdued them. I knew that I was smarter, and faster, and had no fear. I also learned that if I took the battle completely into my own hands.......retrobution could effect the rest of my life. As it was not in me to Kill these men. Though I knew It would be easy for me to do so.

It was a mess. And very stressfull much like my secound dream.

A few weeks ago as a matter of fact the night of our Worship team Christmas Party
(Best worship team ever by the way)I had a very mild attack. where I started to fight a sleep paralysis episode. I imediatly got up rebuked whatever it was that was coming against me. And soon after felt the Holy Spirit tell me to pray! That I've been looking at prayer wrong lately. I let it become a burden based on my circumstance. I have not seen it as a weapon or as a ministry. The Holy Spirit Spoke softly, but firmly to my spirit, and said... There are things against you, and your church that you cannot number, Your enemy is relentless. They're are Satanist who pray continualy against God's people, and an antchrist spirit in everything the world promotes. However the Victory is yours if you live in it. Stay Sober, Watch, and Pray.

it has shaken me.

Dreams and Seed Act 2

Dream No2 of the same night. Lex and I were on some property connected to a country road. we headed south along the road on either side was a small ditch, typical of country roads. On either side of the ditch were more properties. All farm properties with feilds.......some of them were just fields. The sky looked like a cloudy night sky with deep deep purples and silver streakes. All up and down the road the properties made semetrical grids or squares on either side. The road was about one half mile long. I think that I was at one far end, and on the other end......was aparameter of Super Cells about 50yrds wide each. They extended from the cloud cover to the ground and seemed to be alive with Lightning.......but no thunder.

The parameter extended parallel to the road along the backs of each field roughly 250yrds from the road on each side, and appeared to be moving in from all sides. The storm was comming and was unavoidable. It's appearence was certain destruction. Tje only light sources came from small electric lights, but mostly lighning.Along some of the ditches were very small brush fires. which didn't seem to be spreading at all. I believed they had been caused by a lighting strike. Only it was as if the fire had already done its damage and was now burning out.

We decieded to head back to our property and the safety of a large house of which I never saw the outside as a whole. Most of what I saw was the interior. On the way to the House, I past by some people planting seeds in one of the fields. In fact it was my mother with at least one other man who seemed like a new person she had recently recruited. His knowledge of planting was newly learned and not at all complete. It was as if my mother was training him, mostly by example. Though he did seem to quote her with something that affirmed her position of wisdom. I exchanged a few words with my mother that I cannot remember. What I do remember was her face and her new friends face. The scene was fast paced as I was passing right by them. My mother, though surrounded by this ever encroching storm kept a peaceful steady confident countenance. Her Circumstances did not deter her from her sewing seed. Which she did in an old style manner of scattering about from her seed pouch.
It seemed to be more important than the circumstance. She seemed to know she still had time before the supercells reached her.

Back in the house. Of which may have been an old church I visisted once or twice. I went from one end to the other. I past through a large gym area checking locks which is something I do often. A good habbit of years of closing a skate park, and other businesses. Now the storm was no longer an issue. It became a priority to prevent a trespass.
As I got to the back door I knew there was something on the otherside to meet me. I knew it was evil what ever it was. Just like in a suspence film, as I tried to hold the nob of the door to activate the lock the nob turned back and forth with resistance even as when I released the Nob. Not being one to hide from the unknown. I opened the door, and met the unknown with a no nonscence firm "Get Out". The door opened with out resistance and opened in towards me. Behind the door was nothing, but some small trees blowing in the wind of the storm. All most at the instance that I said words "Get out" I awoke and said them aloud.
