http://ourprayejournal.spaces/live.com FROM EVIL – THE EVIL ONE. (evil is live twisted backward) Question who is it that would twist life out of you? Lived reversed spells Devil. “I pray that you would keep them from evil.” (Our Lord prays Jn.17:15) “He ever lives to make intercession for us.” (Heb.7:25) “And fear not them that kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul; but rather fear HIM which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” (Mt.10:28) Our adversary, the devil, satan, the deceiver, a tempter, a liar, an accuser of the brethren; A slanderer, insulter, complains, criticizes, blinds, devours, destroys, kills, a murderer. He tares down, he bites, hinders, harms, hurts. He steals, divides and separates. RECOGNIZE Him! “You are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.” (Jn.8:44) Pilot in the fog illustration: Compass? What is true? (instruments do not lie) Flying on fact or feeling? “. . . . for the accuser of the brethren is cast down, which accused them day and night.” (Rev.12:10) A lie lies in your head – the liar attacks your mind (believer); emotion (feeler) and your will (chooser) – your real identity. Know who you are “IN CHRIST” and whose you are “CHRIST IN YOU”, no matter how you feel you can bank on that and you will land right! DELIVER US FROM EVIL JUDE: Vs.4. ungodly men; 5. fallen angels; 6. filthy dreamers, defile the flesh, hate authority, speak evil of dignitaries; 9. slanderers of angels; 10. speak abusive; 12. shepherds who feed themselves at your expense; 13. raging, foaming, wanderers; 15. ungodly deeds, harsh words; 16. murderers, complainer, lustful, boastful, flatter to their advantage; 18. mockers; 19. sensual, separate themselves. Murmurers, destroyed by the destroyer. (I Cor.10:10) “Be sober, be diligent because your adversary the devil as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour; whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.” (I Pet.5:8,9) “Wherefore we would have come to you, even I Paul, once and again; but satan hindered us.”: (I Thess.2:18) “For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter have tempted you, and our labor be in vain.” (I Thess.3:5) “And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the devil, and satan, which deceives the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels with him.” (Rev.12:9) “FROM EVIL” Deliver us. “In whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.” (II Cor.4:4) We are accused of “BE”ing less than Christian. Fear of people and failure at times is overwhelming. We are exposed and even embarrassed of not “BE”ing Holy. Overcoming evil is our desire to “BE” like Jesus, (Bread of life) with major mistakes (Bad decisions) sins confessed, forgiven, forsaken, forgotten and receiving His robe of righteousness. “I AM” not afraid to face my Savior, Lord God and Master. “I AM” Holy because He is Holy.” I AM to worship, honor and glorify Him. Praise you “OUR FATHER” for deliverance from the evil one. I AM forgiven of the accusers blame and shame game and I AM not fearful of offenders judgment or gossip. They are not party to “OUR” Masters solutions of Salvation; “BE”ing made righteous. The truth is – sins of forefathers visited upon us, “OUR” sins are removed far to be remembered no more, buried deep where no one can bring them up again to chew on; not by us (regurgitating), satan or anyone else, especially those with false lies (accusations). May we get it in “OUR” mind that, that sin is settled on the cross, hid behind His back, removed as far as the East is from the West. Now we see clearly by the eye salve of His Word, that we are as good as gold, refined in the fire, restored to the original creation, born from above again, “BE”ing conformed into the I AM AGE of His Son. “OUR” white robe. (For a Laodicean last church age Rev.3:18) I AM Holy because He is Holy, by the “washing of the Word.” Glory to God!

Eph. 4:26 “Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: . . “
What is this supposed to mean? Is there a righteous anger? Is there ever any good in any anger? What is anger without any good end in it?
Jas 4:1 “From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?”
What would cause a 6ft., 250lbs. Son to shout and get on top and punch a 150lbs. Handicapped defenseless brother who is non-verbal and unable to shout a word of protest? Should these brothers go unprotected? Who can deliver us from this kind wrath? Who has part in the solution of deliverance?
I Thess. 1:10 “And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.”
Deliverance from righteous anger. . . (What is deserved) depends on Him. . . not in the one causing warring members. . . makes any sense!
The evil impulses that grip the human heart cause Paul’s cry for deliverance:
“What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?” (Rom 7:24). The answer to Paul’s cry is “Jesus Christ our Lord” (v. 25). All pleas for deliverance are answered by the person and work of Jesus Christ. He was delivered up for us (Rom 4:25) that he might deliver us from all that threatens us in this life and in the life to come.
The ultimate deliverance for humankind is from the coming wrath of God on the final day of judgment. Here again, the people of God have hope in the “The Deliverer” (Rom 11:26) who will intervene and save them from the terrible fate reserved for the ungodly: “Jesus, who rescues us from the coming wrath” (1 Thess 1:10).
What about forgiveness and tolerance to the evil one causing the hurt? “Forgive us this day. . .” Who is it that justifies?
Heb 2:3 “How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;”
So what is the conclusion? THIMK! (Got your attention? Misspelled on purpose to cause us to stop and think.)

My effort for the week:
This suggests we are headed for the mother of all conflicts and the suggested battle plan will only shock Christians in the Western World, No one else.
However, the writer is a Holocaust survivor. He has probably earned the right to his opinions. Whether you agree or disagree, it is a MUST READ and a signal for us all to:
Keep testing the winds!!
By Solly Ganor
Five years ago I wrote a letter, which I called “Conversation on the Beach. ”
In my letter I described my conversation with a young Palestinian
student who in short precise terms explained how Islam will defeat the
West. The conversation opened my eyes to a much larger picture in which
Israel plays only a minor role in the Islamic game of conquest. Since
then I tried to speak to some Arabs who come to pray at the Mosque, but
they were not as outspoken as the student.
Last week I had another conversation with an Israeli Arab construction
boss by the unlikely name of Francis who was in charge of building a
villa near our house in Herzelia. He told me that his family was
Christian and his name was given to him in honor of the Franciscan
monks. Our conversation was as interesting as the first conversation I
had with the Arab student five years ago and I would like to share it
with you.
Francis frequently parked his car near our house and we would exchange
polite greetings. About a week ago the water was shut off for repairs in
the house he was building and Francis asked me if I could give him some
hot water for his coffee. He was a tall man of about forty, with reddish
hair and blue eyes. He spoke a perfect Hebrew and I, naturally became
curious about him. I felt that he may the right person to exchange some
views with. By his looks I assumed that he was either a Druze or from
the Syrian region. He looked more like a teacher than a construction
worker and as I later found out, he was actually a teacher by
profession.
Since my conversation with the student five years ago I was always
curious to hear their side of the story, therefore I decided to invite
him for a cup of coffee to our house. I saw him hesitate for a moment
then he smiled and thanked me for my hospitality.
While we drank our coffee he told me that he was from a small village in
the Galilee called Jish, near the present Kibbutz Sassa. I remembered
the village very well as I was one of the soldiers who captured the
village while serving in the 7th Armored brigade during the war of
Independence in 1948. I decided not to tell him about it because at the
time we encountered some stiff resistance at that village and quite a
few of the inhabitants were killed.
While I was preparing the coffee he told me a little about himself. “For
a while I was a teacher and I loved teaching, but I couldn’t make a
living at it and I decided to join my father-in-law who is in the
construction business.” Judging by the large Honda he was driving I
figured that he didn’t do too badly changing his profession.
Our conversation soon turned to the present situation in the Middle
East, about Hamas winning the elections, the situation of the Israeli
Arabs, and the last Lebanese war against Hezbolla. “As Christians we are
in a difficult situation here in Israel. Unfortunately, the Moslems and
especially the extreme Islamist section, are giving the tone here. My
family who lived in Bethlehem probably since the Crusaders, had to flee
for their life. The Moslems have been forcing us out, by threats and
even murder. Bethlehem that was once predominantly Christian is now
predominantly Moslem. Very little is written about it even in the
Israeli press.” He sipped his coffee and gave me a long look. He seemed
like someone who wasn’t quite sure whether to say what he was about to
say. I gave him an encouraging nod.
“I have to tell you something which very few of you seem to comprehend.”
He continued. “Your bungling war against a few thousand Hezbollah
fighters which you should have crushed no matter what, considering the
importance of the outcome, has created a completely new situation, not
only for this area, but global ly. Your inept leadership totally
misunderstood the importance of winning this war. As a matter of fact,
the whole Moslem world, not only the Arabs, simply couldn’t believe that
the mighty Israeli Army that defeated the combined Arab forces in six
days in 1967, and almost captured Cairo and Damascus in 1973, couldn’t
defeat a small army of Hezbollah men.”
“As usual the Moslems see things the way they want to see things. Most
think that the present generation of Israelis have gone soft and can be
defeated. The American bungling of the war in Iraq only added to their
conviction that victory not only over Israel but also over the West is
not only possible, but certain.”
“The ramifications of these two bungling wars may bring an Islamic
bloody Tsunami all over the West, not only in Israel. The sharks smell
bloo d and these two wars gave them the green light to attack sooner than
they had in mind. Your problem is that you are on the defensive and they
have the option to choose the time and the places when and where to
attack and there is nothing much you can do about it. When will you
Westerners realize that half measures don’t work with people who are
willing to die by the thousands for Allah to achieve their goal? In
their eyes the Western World is simply an abomination on earth that has
to be wiped out.”
He spoke quietly and I could just picture him in the school giving his
students a lecture. I poured him another cup of coffee and encouraged
him to continue.
“The Americans, the Europeans, and even you Israelis really don’t really
know what it is all about, do you? During the last generation hundreds
of thousands of children have been taught all over the Moslem world in
Madrass schools to become martyrs for Allah in order to kill the
infidels. These youngsters are not only ready to do it, but are actually
in the process of doing it. Bombs are going off all over the world
killing and maiming thousands of people, not only on 9/11 in the US, in
London Madrid and Bali, but Africa, India, Bengla Dash, Egypt, Saudi
Arabia and countless other places.”
“The first signs of the Islamic Tsunami is already here, but the West
doesn’t understand, or doesn’t want to understand what is coming. The
Americans, instead of realizing that this is as bad as World War Two, or
even worse, are going to pull out of Iraq, handing it over to Iran on a
silver platter. Next may come the Saudis and the rest of the Gulf
States.”
“When dirty bombs will go off all over the Western towns who is going to
stop the Iranians? Now is the time to stop them, not only because they
are developing nuclear bombs, but because Iran has become the base for
all Islamic terrorist. They supply, money, men and weapons to Islamic
terrorist around the world, quite often through their diplomatic mail.
Billions of petro-dollars that are pouring into Iran are being funneled
into terrorist organizations worldwide. They believe, and perhaps
rightly so, that the West will do nothing to stop them in achieving
their goals. Is history repeating itself? Are the Iranians making the
same mistake that Hitler made when he attacked Poland? Is the situation
similar?”
“As a history teacher who studied the subject thoroughly I can tell you
that Western victory in World War Two was not all certain. Hitler could
have won the war if he would have gone ahead with the atomic bomb
development before the Americans. The Germans began working on it in the
thirties, and it was Hitler’s decision to prefer building more
conventional arms, as he considered atomic weapons sheer fantasy. Hitler
made the wrong decision, but had he made the right decision the world
would have been a different type of world today, wouldn’t it? The West
won the war against Hitler by sheer chance. Very few people seem to
realize that.”
I must say that his last words shook me up quite a bit. Had Hitler made
a different decision, I would have died in Dachau, there wouldn’t have
been a Jewish state called Israel, and most likely there wouldn’t have
been any Jews left in the world. The idea that the Western democracies
in general, and the fate of the Jewish people in particular, could have
hinged on Hitler’s one decision is a scenario of the worst nightmare.
He notices that his last words had an effect on me and he smiled. “I see
that my words are not wasted on you,” He said dryly. I nodded and he
continued with his lecture. “Coming back to our time, the Iranians rely
on the West doing nothing about their development of nuclear bombs. They
also rely on their secret weapon: An inexhaustible supply of Islamic
Suicide Bombers, some of them who are already planted all over the
Western World.”
“Besides the Islamic countries that supply these suicide bombers, a
second front has been opened, and that is the Internet with more than
five thousand Islamic web sites, brain washing and urging young Moslems
to become martyrs for Allah. They especially target young Moslems who
live in Europe and the West in general . The Western intelligence
authorities consider these web sites a bigger threat than the Iranian
atomic bomb. Al-Qaida recently issued a television broadcast that
promised a devastating attack against its enemies this spring. As we all
know, Al-Qaida doesn’t make empty threats.”
“Actually, I don’t understand why the Iranians bother to develop atom
bombs and bring the whole world down on them. Every suicide bomber is a
potential atom bomb, or a biological, chemical or dirty bomb that can be
no less devastating than an atom bomb. The Americans and Europeans have
no defense against this type of war.”
“What can we do against this type warfare?” I asked him. “Well, you
Israelis, should better prepare yourself for another round against
Hezbollah. It will be not long in coming. It depends on the Iranians to
give the word. This time you will have to destroy Hezbollah no matter
what the cost may be. Of course, your next round against Hezbollah may
involve the Syrians and the Iranians against you. The Iranians declared
that they will not allow Hezbollah to be defeated no matter what and may
launch their missiles against you. So will the Syrians. What will Israel
do? It is unlikely that Israel will accept its destruction and may use
their nuclear arsenal if the West will not come to their help. Perhaps
our Book of Revelations is not so wrong in describing that the end of
the world would start at Armageddon, which we know as Har-Megiddo in
Israel. The Book of Revelations describes the last battle would be
fought at Armageddon between the ‘Forces of good and the forces of
evil.’”
“And who would you call the forces of good? Israel or Islam?” I asked,
looking him straight in the eyes.
He gave me a startled look. “If I were a Moslem, I would have no problem
to name the forces of good and it wouldn’t be Israel. As a Christian, I
would probably name Israel, but as a Christian Arab I would prefer not
to answer.”
We looked at each other. His answer made it clear where the Israeli
Arabs stood, whether they were Moslems or Christians. And why should I
be surprised? After all The Israeli Arabs call the establishment of the
State of Israel their Nakbah. (Their disaster).
“Is there a way to avoid the ‘Armageddon’?” I asked. “I think there are
two ways to avoid it. One can be a major war, which the West can win. As
in World War Two, had the West attacked the Germans in 1936 the war
would have lasted not more than a month with very few casualties. Thei r
procrastination resulted in World War II with all its consequences.”
“Eventually, the West will have to tackle the Iranians. It is better
that they do it now to avert a world catastrophe later. With Iran
defeated the Islamic onslaught will lose its base, and it may be the
turning point in history to defeat the menace of extreme Islam. The
majority of the Moslems don’t want this confrontation anyway.”
“You are painting a rather dark picture. When do you think we will have
the next round against Hezbollah?” I asked.
“I think they will attack again as soon as they are fully re-equipped
and I think it will be during the summer, while Israel is still in a
military and political turmoil.”
For a while we sat in silence. He finished his second cup of coffee and
got up. “I know what I am going to do. I am going to Canada to join my
brother. This country is becoming much too dangerous for Christians as
well, he said. He thanked me for the coffee and we shook hands.”
“You said there are two ways to avoid ‘Armageddon,’”" I remembered to
ask him. “Sure, all the West has to do is follow Putin’s ways. He
assassinates his enemies without blinking an eye. Assassinate the four
or five Mullahs who run the show, Achmenijad, and a few more Iranian
fanatics, and the War can be avoided. It may be difficult to do, but not
impossible. With today’s hi-tech technology I am sure that new weapons
against individuals are being prepared right now. I think it would be a
better way of handling the matter than an all out war against Islam.”
The conversation with Francis was not more encouraging than the one I
had with the Palestinian student five years ago. It was becoming clear
that Israel may be on the forefront for the coming war of the West
against Islam, unless we follow Francis’ suggestion to assassinate the
heads of the snake, rather than going to war with Islam.
