About Me

A one man band, an army of one. We all get our orders from the Good or the evil one. Who are you following? Not to choose is to choose. Which one will that be...

Ghetto Defined

People often ask about the title of my Blog. My answer is man’s sinful nature has turned His garden into a ghetto and we’re on a crash collision course with our destiny.

# 3. A Short Lesson Demons

This will be the end of these short lessons of knowledge and I'm hoping some of you found this to be useful. I know I learned a little myself.
Let me start by saying I believe were seeing more of a demonic presence in the world today with the steep rise in crime and a sharp decrease in morality. Put those two together and you'll have a small glimpse of hell of what's about to become.
Some people don't want to hear the truth about what is to become in the end of days ahead. They say "stop it preacher your scaring me or do you really believe all that stuff in the Bible.
If you line up just crime alone in America, that alone should cause alarm in one self's soul to take note. Crime alone in America is becoming more deviant than ever and people are excepting lies for the truth because it's more comforting for them. The Truth seems to be too uncomfortable for them for some reason. This just isn't a American problem, it's a world wide issue spreading like a swine flu epidemic.
Maybe Obama was right when he said the United States is no longer a Christan nation.
Others see the world as a playground where anything goes but that can't be further from the truth. The fact is it's a battleground where the Army of God does battle with evil everyday and it appears that Satan and his demons got God and His army in full retreat.
Could this be one of the explanations of the wheat and the tares. I know the devil has sown tares into the church too but I also believe it also extends itself into the world.
Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teaching of demons, through the insincerity of liars whose conscience are seared.
The fact is were playing the game of life and were going to deal with the issue of choice one day when our appointment comes to meet with the Almighty. Friend's were going to show up right on time, no not early, no not even late but right on time.

# 2. A Short Lesson on Demons

Continued from lesson one.


First of all I'd like to say I'm glad you made it back. Now let's get started!


Another thing I found out on demons is they as spirit personalities, demons have an intellectual nature through which they possess superhuman knowledge and features of shrewdness. They also know and bow to Jesus and describe him as "the Son of the Most High God". They obey Him and corrupt sound doctrine concealing the truth of Christ incarnate deity and sole savior hood. It's no wonder that Satan and his demons are having such a hay day down here being the prince of the ghetto or world.

The reason I write this kind of stuff is so you know how to fight your battles and win with victory. We have the power to do so but end up failing because we don't know how to harness it. I'll end with a familiar verse that I think most you will know.

Ephesians 6:12
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places

# 1. A Short Lesson on Demons

I've been reading a little about demons and how they can effect people and thought I'd share a few things like they are purely spiritual beings or personalities. They also can operate above the laws of natural realm and are invisible and incorporeal. However they may be glimpsed. That can makes a guy wonder did I really see what I think I might of saw. I also know that you can feel their presence. Have you ever sensed that a certain individual is dark? I know I have. I also sensed that a person has the light also.

Did you know that John in his apocalyptic vision saw the awful last- day eruption of locust-demons from the abyss. That's freaky! As well as the three hideous frog-like spirits that emanate from the satanic trinity in the Tribulation. The dragon, the beast and the false prophet. Woa...They are the ones that muster the world's armies to their predestined doom at Armageddon.

Ok Ok I don't want to overload you with too much to think about but wow I cant even imagine what that day is going to be like.

Judas Iscariot

One of the twelve disciples Jesus chose from the beginning of his ministry was a devil. Which means He knew who would betray Him. But chose not to reveal him until the Last Supper. Then Satan entered into Judas. Jesus dismissed him and Judas went out to do what he had already planned. He sold his sole for 30 pieces of silver and betrayed our Lord with a kiss.
The question I give to you friends is how much is Jesus worth to you. A hundred bucks, how about a thousand or maybe a million, a billion perhaps. He's giving you a chance to leave the ghetto land behind and join Him in Beulah Land and all you got to do is believe.

John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish , but have everlasting life.

The Love of Money

For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil.



1 Timothy 6:10 is a verse that most of the world knows because it has been repeated so many times but they usually forget to put the love of money in and just use money as the root of all evil.

I asked a guy I know how much money he needs and his reply was just a little bit more. I also heard a man say once "money is like saltwater... the more you drink the thirstier you get." I must say I do get a little thirsty sometimes too for a little more pocket change myself.

Read down the scripture a little further and it pretty well sums it up.

6.
But godliness with contentment is great gain.
7.
For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it.
8.
But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that.
9.
People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction.
10.
For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

I added a new song to the player done by the O jays back in the 70's. Check it out.

Candyland Jesus

Candyland Jesus, Jackpot Jesus, Jailhouse Jesus or so on, the world seems to think that and so many other things about Jesus. Why? Well probably some of it has to do with tv and some tv evangelists. The faith prosperity movement seems to think you can give 20 bucks and somehow you'll receive 40 greenbacks back somehow and the only one that's winning is that church somehow. It might have to do with the way you live around others, at work perhaps and then Sunday morning comes around you say, gotta get on my Sunday best on.

Theres a song on my playlist called In America. Check it out

Six Things To Know

I wanted to post these verses to try and bring some of the readers up to date. Some of you already know these and others may not. Of course I will mention the Ten Commandments also in Exodus 20. I heard someone once say "the ten suggestions" Thank God for his Grace because were going to need a lot of it.

Proverbs 6:16
16.
These six things doth the LORD hate : yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17.
A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18.
An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
19.
A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

Is God a Angry God

Not too long ago I was talking to this lady while I was working and some how the subject came up about God. She told me she loves God and what he has done for her and she doesn't believe in a angry God.
I thought about what she said for awhile and thought why isn't God angry? All the lying, stealing, cheating, murder, abortion and so on. All for ones self gain. After all isn't that why we sin, for self gain? This world is very dark place and if you don't believe it, I guess your not in tune.
Isn't that why He comes back in the end is to save the elect?
Will the dam of grace break and the river of mercy be no more?

John 1:10
10.
He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him.

My Own Prison

My Own Prison

Lyrics By Creed

A court is in session, a verdict is in

No appeal on the docket today Just my own sin

The walls are cold and pale The cage made of steel

Screams fill the room Alone I drop and kneel

Silence now the sound My breath the only motion around

Demons cluttering around My face showing no emotion

Shackled by my sentence Expecting no return

Here there is no penance My skin begins to burn

(And I said oh)

So I held my head up high

Hiding hate that burns inside

Which only fuels their selfish pride

(And I said oh)

We're all held captive Out from the sun

A sun that shines on only some

We the meek are all in one

I hear a thunder in the distance

See a vision of a cross

I feel the pain that was given

On that sad day of loss

A lion roars in the darkness

Only he holds the key

A light to free me from my burden

And grant me life eternally

Should have been dead On a Sunday morning

Banging my head

No time for mourning

Ain't got no time

(And I said oh)

So I held my head up high

Hiding hate that burns inside

Which only fuels their selfish pride

(And I said oh)

We're all held captive Out from the sun

A sun that shines on only some

We the meek are all in on

I cry out to God

Seeking only his decision

Gabriel stands and confirms I've created my own prison

I cry out to God Seeking only his decision

Gabriel stands and confirms I've created my own prison

(And I said oh)

So I held my head up high

Hiding hate that burns inside

Which only fuels their selfish pride

(And I said oh)

We're all held captive

Out from the sun A sun that shines on only some

We the meek are all in one

(And I said oh)

So I held my head up high

Hiding hate that burns inside

Which only fuels their selfish pride

(And I said oh)

We're all held captive

Out from the sun A sun that shines on only some

We the meek are all in one

Should've been dead on a Sunday morning banging my head

No time for mourning

Ain't got no time

Matthew 11:28

28
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
29.
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
30.
For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
