The Lambs book of life is for everyone, the book begins with everyone in the world in it, those who are removed are those who will not trust Christ.
Revelation 3:5 - "He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will NOT BLOT out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels."
God does not say he will put the name in and then take it out, it only says "blot out" what was already there. This idea fits perfectly with God's character to provide for everyone, knowing that not everyone will avail themselves to the free gift of salvation.
Christ died for the entire world, He desired that all would become born again.
I John 2:2 "and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world."
1 Timothy 2:4
"Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth."
Christ began with a plan for all of mankind to become born again, He loved the entire world, however He gave everyone a choice and knows that not all will believe, many walk in rebellion and will not follow Him.

Food Has Little To Do With Health
I am convinced that food has very little to do with clogged
arteries. I believe stress does more to foster heart trouble than any food
that we would eat. All the people I have known who had severe heart problems
have been hyper, nervous people, just my personal experience.
God does say, "The man who trusts the Lord lives a long
life." I think it is possible and likely that one who trusts the Lord
worries less, having a calm and trusting spirit that keeps them physically
healthy.
Proverbs 10:27
"The fear of the LORD prolongeth days: but the years of
the wicked shall be shortened."
Proverbs 9:10-11
"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and
the knowledge of the holy is understanding. For by Me thy days shall be
multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased."
Proverbs 3:7-8
"Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the Lord and
turn away from evil.
8 It will be healing to your body And refreshment to your
bones."
Demonic Activity is Alive and Well!
I was never addicted to drugs of any kind, but I was on depression drugs for one year. I told the doctor that I would try them for a year and after that I would get off and never return.
I felt I needed help through a difficult time in my life, so I allowed the doctor to talk me into these drugs. I told the doctor that I was not able to eat but didn't feel depressed, he attempted to convince me that I was depressed.
I thought that the drugs wouldn't hurt for a period of time to help me focus more and be able to have an appetite. I noticed while on the drugs that I developed a sense that nothing mattered. I was lethargic, caring about nothing. It frightened me that I was developing an attitude that nothing really mattered, so I returned to the doctor and informed him that I was not going to take them anymore. There was a slight personality change that I didn't like.
A short time after quitting the drugs, my sense of reality returned to me and there was no need of drugs at all. The doctor tried to convince me that I would need them the rest of my life. I told him that I refused to be on anything the rest of my life, I would give it one year and if saw no difference after going off I would just live with my lack of appetite.
I have experienced the normal sadness at times, that come with life, but nothing deeply and never extended periods of time.
Since I didn't "feel" depressed, I felt I could live with not eating. I went off the drugs, resumed eating and never went on them again, here I am 35 years later and never having any sense of deep depression, not before the pills nor after stopping them.
I can see how some people would be afraid to go against a doctor, because they are not strong willed as I am. I believe from this experience that there are people on these drugs who don't need them but have been convinced they do.
I was also told by a doctor that I would be on thyroid for the rest of my life, I used it for a year, went off and did not return to them until 40 years later, when I was again told I would need them for my entire life. I have recently gone off the thyroid again and am perfectly normal. I am convinced that my thyroid straightened out, possibly with the help of the drugs, but I began to feel overdose, so I quit and am normal once again.
Too many doctors believe that once a person is on a drug they will never get off. I don’t know if this is ignorance or deliberate for purposes of job security.
I wonder how many people would come out of depression or lethargy all by themselves given enough time? Perhaps most who take them would do better to weather the storm, rather than turning to drugs. Just a thought!
And, as a believer, I mean "weather the storm", by praying and seeking God for the cure. I cannot judge people for their use of drugs, they may love God very much, but I think that our culture has placed too much credence on the medical profession, so much so that they are afraid to "not do" what the doctor tells them.
Doctors are human beings and are taught a certain way, they are pre-programmed by their instructors and often think only the way they were taught. Many are not born again, so they only have humanistic science to turn to for their answers.
The same science that says a person must be on depression meds or thyroid for their entire life, is the science that also believed it was bad to eat eggs and butter, just 50 years ago, now it has proven to be wrong by other new scientific evidence. It is alright to try what the doctor suggests but it is important to pray and hear the Holy Spirit, guided by the wisdom of God, we can use a clear and unadulterated mind to determine what we should be doing.
I am grateful for doctors when it comes to curing disease and operating when needed but I am skeptical when it comes to things of the mind, where no physical evidence can be the guide. There "science" of the mind is no science at all, but pure speculation based on observances in human behavior. How can an unregenerate mind of the secular doctor, discern the things of the mind that cannot be proven physically?
The same psychiatrists who believe in these mind control drugs do not believe in the work of demons, or the wickedness of man's heart, while believing in self esteem and the basic goodness of man. How can these doctors come up with right answers pertaining to the mind? They cannot rightly determine the workings of the human heart, their premise begins with a faulty and failing foundation. Psychiatrists believe that man is basically good and evolved from apes, they have a crumbling foundation.
Jeremiah 17:9 "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?"
The mind can be diseased, but being able to determine a true scientific disease caused by physical illness is far different from determining the mind when there is no evidence of physical disease other than chemical imbalances.
Chemical imbalances can easily be demonic activity, when we remember the account of the person who was hunched over because of demon possession, we realize that many physical abnormalities can be demon activity, whether oppression or possession.
I am not one to find a demon under every rock or associated with every illness, however I do think that far more demonic activity in these last days is present. When we take a look at the life responses of diseased minds, we see much anger, rebellion, murder and hatred in those who have been diagnosed with mental disorders.
If the mind becomes diseased by physical means alone, then why are not some of the cases of mental disorder producing kinder, more loving and friendlier attitudes, than was normal for a person. We only see deterioration on the side of hate, meannness, violence and filthy language.
In the case of Tourettes, why is the language always filthy, evil and violent? Why would there not be some cases of a person with Turrets who speaks in sweeter more gentile language. The syndrome produces wild twitching and tics that leave the body helpless to its' manifestation. If it were a real disease why would it not produce a calmer body sometimes.
Is it not likely that Tourettes is nothing more than demon activity, and what about all the other mind controlling illnesses that leave the victim helpless and controlled by them? I believe that in these last days we are experiencing far more demon activity than we saw many years ago, the Pandora's box to it has been opened because of the wickedness in the land.
Matthew 9:32-33
"32 As they were going out, a mute, demon-possessed man [a]was brought to Him. 33 After the demon was cast out, the mute man spoke; and the crowds were amazed, and were saying, “Nothing like this has [b]ever been seen in Israel.”
Matthew 12:22
"22 Then a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute was brought to [a]Jesus, and He healed him, so that the mute man spoke and saw."
Matthew 17:14-18
"14 When they came to the crowd, a man came up to Jesus, falling on his knees before Him and saying, 15 “Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is a lunatic and is very ill; for he often falls into the fire and often into the water. 16 I brought him to Your disciples, and they could not cure him.” 17 And Jesus answered and said, “You unbelieving and perverted generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring him here to Me.” 18 And Jesus rebuked him, and the demon came out of him, and the boy was cured at once."
Mark 5:1-13
"5 They came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gerasenes. 2 When He got out of the boat, immediately a man from the tombs with an unclean spirit met Him, 3 and he had his dwelling among the tombs. And no one was able to bind him anymore, even with a chain; 4 because he had often been bound with shackles and chains, and the chains had been torn apart by him and the shackles broken in pieces, and no one was strong enough to subdue him. 5 Constantly, night and day, he was screaming among the tombs and in the mountains, and gashing himself with stones. 6 Seeing Jesus from a distance, he ran up and bowed down before Him; 7 and shouting with a loud voice, he *said, “[a]What business do we have with each other, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I implore You by God, do not torment me!” 8 For He had been saying to him, “Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!” 9 And He was asking him, “What is your name?” And he *said to Him, “My name is Legion; for we are many.” 10 And he began to implore Him earnestly not to send them out of the country. 11 Now there was a large herd of swine feeding [b]nearby on the mountain. 12 The demons implored Him, saying, “Send us into the swine so that we may enter them.” 13 Jesus gave them permission. And coming out, the unclean spirits entered the swine; and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea, about two thousand of them; and they were drowned in the sea."
Is is possible that all these shooting by young people who end up killing themselves, are possessed by demons, but because we don't recognize demon activity as real in our culture, we assign a label of mentally ill to them?
