It makes sense that the devil would create a belief that he can do the same thing as God did in creating a child by His Spirit in the womb of Mary.
The Nephilim lie is a counterfeit of the miraculous conception of Mary by the Holy Spirit. It never happened, but the devil has done what he does best, claim to have the same power as God in order to demean and diminish the work of Christ.
The belief that demons impregnated human beings is a demonstration of the same sort of lies the devil told Eve in the garden. "You can be like God."
The devil through the Nephilim lie, is saying that he has the same power, when he not only does not, but he will twist the word of God and the minds of people while using others sources outside the Bible to make his case.
Do you not see the deception and the far reaching implications of it? The devil wants mankind to believe that the devil has all the same powers as God does.
The book of Enoch, from which this Nephilim deception comes is devilish, not only is it a lie, it has managed to pit believers against one another.
The passages that are used are misinterpreted, twisted as well as added to in order to come up with this fantasy.
Jeremiah 26:16 "16 This is what the LORD Almighty says: “Do not listen to what the prophets are prophesying to you; they fill you with false hopes. They speak visions from their own minds, not from the mouth of the LORD."
1 Timothy 4:1-2 "4 1-2 God’s Spirit specifically tells us that in later days there will be men who abandon the true faith and allow themselves to be spiritually seduced by teachings of the devil, teachings given by men who are lying hypocrites, whose consciences are as dead as seared flesh."
Rejecting the cultural Christianity I grew up with to embrace and enjoy a relationship with Jesus Christ. A place to come and share thoughts about almost anything. Especially things of the Lord. Please no Anonymous posts, I enjoy knowing who is writing to me.

The Nephilim Lie Once Again
How many of you knew that the belief in the "Nephilim" came from the book of Enoch, accepted by the Catholic church and is considered heretical by most believing scholars.
It is important that we know where things come from before jumping on the band wagon to teach this foolishness.
Genesis 1:24 "24 Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth living creatures after their kind: cattle and creeping things and beasts of the earth after their kind"; and it was so."
Spirit cannot mate with flesh!
The whole Nepilim lie is designed to make God overshadowing Mary with conception, look like just another angel thing. It is a way of negating the importance that only God can do such a thing.
The sad thing is that so many well known preachers have fallen into this mess because it makes them feel superior, with special knowledge. They have bought into the lie and now are spreading it like wild fire.

Organ Transplants Are They From God
I am not sure about transplants as being from God. If I could not live without a heart transplant then I would go home to heaven.
Perhaps organ transplants are a way for doctors to play God.
I think the transplant industry appeals to those who think this life is all there is and I believe infants go to heaven, why hold them back by transplanting someone else's DNA into them through an organ donation.
Just saying!

One Does Not Have To Murder To Have A Murderous Heart
The devil is a liar, he will lie all the time about everything while using others to accuse us of lying.
The devil will attempt to prove to people that Christ, "didn't really say that" or that He "didn't really mean that."
Another favorite tactic of the devil is to accuse the brethren falsely. He will use the unsaved to do this, while discrediting our walk with Christ, without cause.
If you are not being attacked in one form or another, it is possible you are not saved.
Proverbs 14:2
"He who walks in his uprightness fears the LORD, But he who is devious in his ways despises Him."
Habakkuk 2:4
"Behold, as for the proud one, His soul is not right within him; But the righteous will live by his faith."
The times we are living in are described in Michah: This is a generality, however, we can see this happening in our nation today.
There is bloodshed in the hearts of those who wish to silence believers, mocking and demeaning them in order to have control over them. Someone does not have to murder to have a murderous heart.
Micah 7:2
"The godly person has perished from the land, And there is no upright person among men All of them lie in wait for bloodshed; Each of them hunts the other with a net."

Believers are in Boot Camp
Believers we are living in boot camp right now. And, I can't prove it by the Bible, but I am convinced that we are being trained to be those who rule with Christ in the Millennium. I just can't believe that our training here has no value for after we leave here.
This is why we must get past our emotions, remove the focus on self and begin to see the lessons in all that we encounter.
Remember that the devil will attempt to keep us one down and overthrown through wallowing in self pity over the evil that unsaved do against us, don't fall for it.
Stay in prayer, seek the Holy Spirit and obey His Word, He is our protection against the tricks of the devil.
Ephesians 6:10-20
"10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.
12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.
13 Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm.
14 Stand firm therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18 With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints,
19 and pray on my behalf, that utterance may be given to me in the opening of my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel,
20 for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in proclaiming it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak."
Notice Paul's declaration that even being in chains will not extinguish his boldness.

From a friend on Facebook....
I believe we are in the last days, I believe we are to be tried and purified at this time before the Bridegroom soon calls His bride up to meet Him in the air and sudden destruction will befall the land. I believe there will be a great sifting, separating the wheat from the chaff, the faithful from the unfaithful and we will all have to choose Babylon or our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, God Almighty and His commandments.
While in prayer last week I believe I heard from the LORD, "I, even I" and soon I believe the flood of judgement will come upon an unrepentant and ungodly people, as in the days of Noah. I've also had visions/dreams (Acts 2:17) that I believe were from the Lord including a Bride in her wedding gown and an oil lamp (Parable of 10 Virgins in Matthew 25).
We see today that the sorrows/birthpains listed in Matthew 24 was Luke 21 are increasing as the woman travails in birth (Revelation 12). I believe America will fall (Revelation 18).
The hurricanes, fires, floods, mudslides, and earthquakes, riots, rumors of war, world famines, plagues, are just the beginning of sorrows Additional scripture supports the last days biblical narrative:
- 2nd Peter, Chapter 3
- 2nd Timothy, Chapter 3
- 1st Thess, Chapter 5
- Zechariah Chapter 12
- 2nd Thess, Chapter 2
Trump recently said the move for Jerusalem as the Capitol of Israel would be towards "peace and security" in The Middle East, yet I believe it is the "peace and security" as referenced in 1 Thess. 5:3, in which sudden destruction will come upon them (the world).
Also, in tandem with Daniel 9:27 and Matthew 24:15, Zechariah 12 seems to be a last days prophecy where many nations come against Israel and God protects them and reveals Christ (God) to them whom they have pierced (Zech. 12:10):
"9 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem."
* We see now that the majority of nations in the UN General Assembly voted against the U.S. recognizing and declaring Jerusalem as the capitol of Israel (Which it always has been), and there is a backlash from Palestine, Iran, Turkey, Gaza, Syria, France, etc. The world is clearly against Israel as prophesied.
I believe soon the last Trump will sound, and the faithful church will be caught up into the air (1 Cor. 15:51) to be with Christ forever more, and the world will explain it away as an alien abduction... As Satan has laid the groundwork for this deception.
Also, Pope Francis (False Prophet) is causing apostasy of true Christianity while merging paganism and other false religions together. It has been reported that Francis is also working with world leaders to create a digital identity for the remaining 1/5th of the global population to set the foundation for the soon coming RFID chip (Mark of the Beast - say NO!). This chip will store your payment accounts, security access codes, medical information, identity verifications, passport, etc. - allowing for a payment via a scan of your hand or forehead. Say No!! Some say the Mark of the Beast could be enforced as the Sunday law, and that the true Sabbath Holy Day is Saturday? However, a study of the Greek word used for "mark" in Revelations 20:4 indicates:
Strong's Definitions: χάραγμαcháragma, khar'-ag-mah; from the same as G5482; a scratch or etching, i.e. stamp (as a badge of servitude), or scupltured figure (statue):—graven, mark.
It is my hope that we are all wise and have extra oil (Holy Spirit) for our lamps in these dark times and we are all presented as chaste virgins unspotted from the world when the bridegroom comes to meet us in the dark of the night.......

I believe this because the Lord has taken out of me any desire to get anything done except essentials. I cook the food, do the dishes, clean house, but my heart is not in any of it. I crochet and other things but am drawn always back to facebook and the Word as though my heart knows, through Christ, that it's almost over, there are few who will listen or change, but we must obey anyway in bringing the gospel to the lost and instruction to the saved.

Narcissistic Projection
The narcissists projection and accusations are actually their confessions about themselves.
Those who are mature are able to be honest with themselves and others. The narcissists accuses others of what he is doing and the others are not, to be able to blame others for the narcissists sinful attitude and behavior.
Narcissists think in black and white, you are either all good or all bad, in their mind they only love those who they perceive to be all good and are mean, mocking and dismissive of those they perceive to be all bad.
For the narcissist the all bad person can do no right ever, they are continually criticized for everything no matter how good it is.
For the narcissist the all good person is seen as godlike, anyone who points out a flaw, no matter how minor, will be the target for "attacking" their god.
No one is all good or all bad, everyone has flaws, even the narcissist who thinks they have no flaws.
Narcissists will only associate with those they perceive to be all good, identifying themselves with these people. Sadly when the god like person shows a flaw the narcissist will either deny they saw the flaw or they will discard their god for not being perfect. I have seen both these things in my journey.
Since believers know that everyone not only has flaws but are not worthy of love because of our sinful nature, we don't place anyone in a god-like status. No one fits the bill of perfection, therefore we are free to be friends with and love flawed people. Since we can admit that we have warts like everyone else, we never feel the need to be superior to others.
Those who feel superior are not capable of loving anyone, they must only associate with those that elevate themselves as "special" and "perfect."
The worst thing we can do for our children is to praise them continually, this builds within them the expectation of being treated as better than others.
Romans 3:22-24 "…22 And this righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no distinction, 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.…"
We see what happens when a culture praises children excessively, the children become entitled monsters without empathy and love for anyone but themselves.
Philippians 2:2-4 "…2 then make my joy complete by being of one mind, having the same love, being united in spirit and purpose. 3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or empty pride, but in humility consider others more important than yourselves. 4 Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others."
The bottom line: those who are narcissists need to ponder God instead of themselves. There is a spectrum of narcissism, everyone has some elements of this but there are those who operate daily in this vein and bring ruination to relationships. It is good for us to ask God if we have any elements of this nasty trait and petition Him to cleanse us from it.
