Beloved— I cannot stress enough how vitally important it is not only to accept the Lord Jesus into your life, but along with having Him in your life as your Savior, you must accept Him as your LORD and MASTER of your life.
Because as it is 📖written there is both a SPIRITUAL REALM and a PHYSICAL REALM in this universe-we are stuck in an ongoing spiritual battle. Hence the necessity for the Holy Spirit to enter into you, to cleanse and deliver you from the evil, for the spiritual good of your soul and spirit.
HOWEVER— without a true commitment and total surrender of every aspect of your life so that the Holy Spirit can start to work in you— meaning if you do not commit to read, learn, study, meditate on His WORD—in a biblical way, allowing the Holy Spirit to lovingly CHASTISE and CORRECT whatever wrong teachings or practices you were taught or heard about—He cannot completely DELIVER YOU from any and all demonic infestations, influences, etc. that have been in you up until the time of your salvation and new birth in Christ.
SINCERELY ASK the Holy Spirit to help you CONFESS all wrong thinking, lies and deceit of the enemy, ungodly lifestyles, mannerisms, etc. that you have allowed to become part of your life. Plead the BLOOD OF CHRIST over your life, and REBUKE the evil spirits that have kept you bound and in spiritual strongholds up until this point in your life.
Have the Holy Spirit cast out of you all that evil—it may take some time (and a LOT of effort, prayer, and patience on your part)-whether it’s weeks, months, etc— if you commit to having the Lord Jesus, deliver you from any and all sins, HE WILL DELIVER YOU!🙌📖❤️✝️
If you need prayer, guidance, counseling or more information about being delivered from any past sins, etc. please do not hesitate to contact your local parish priest, biblically based pastor, one of the really excellent exorcists like Monsignor Stephen Rosetti, who has online deliverance zoom sessions, or even a deliverance minister like myself. The Lord has equipped some of us to deal with such issues, so we can lend a helping hand in having the Holy Spirit deliver people, and set them free in the name of Jesus!🙏🙌❤️✡️📖✝️🕊️
It is amazing how when I had the talk with the Lord yesterday morning, and He stated to me (it was sometime after 4am at that point, I think) that “There will be more martyrs for the Faith”–pertaining to the coming Last Days and all that is yet to be fulfilled in His Word (Daniel, Revelation, Joel, etc.), I immediately just assumed He was mentioning sometime in the future. Ok, no big deal, I knew that from what was written in the Scriptures.
I just assumed as I was getting more sleepy and wanted to go back to sleep yesterday morning (after being up for the past hour or so), that what the LORD was telling me, was WAY in the future; it pretty much always has been, when He has told me things pertaining to futuristic events.
I got up, went to the bathroom, and stayed up thinking about what he said until almost 5am, and then finally went back to sleep. It IS common knowledge to a believer that has read the ✡️📖✝️WHOLE counsel of God, that IN the coming Days of the Tribulation–whenever that will be–there WILL be MANY souls who will give up their lives for Christ, and NOT partake in the Anti Christ’s demonic schemes.
MANY martyrs of the Faith will go Home to the Lord Jesus during that horrific Time here on Earth. I was well aware of that biblical FACT.
BUT–WHO KNEW less than 12 HOURS LATER, what the Lord said to me earlier that morning, was about to come to pass. THAT has NEVER happened to me before–something prophetic told to me and within 24 HOURS–it happened!!
The LORD God in all His mysterious wisdom, allowed the life of CHARLIE KIRK to be taken from us, assassinated because he was a faithful servant of God, someone who loved and cared enough about this nation to do all that he did in his short lifespan here, and spoke the Word of God in TRUTH and in LOVE, to those who either longed to hear what he said, while others hated him for it.
I’ve been crying and somewhat still in shock and numb since this all happened. I KNEW it was DEMONIC–I KNEW the Lord’s hand was all over this–it always is–NOTHING gets past Him, but HE DID ALLOW IT TO HAPPEN.
I knew Charlie’s assassination was not all for nought, that is was not done in vain; the LORD God my Father HAD a good REASON and PURPOSE for allowing such a horrific thing to happen.
I said to the LORD–“Abba, You NEED to allow us to have the resolve to do something about this–fight back with Your Word, and PLEASE EXPOSE the EVIL behind all of this!!” LET THE PEOPLE of this nation KNOW what DEMONIC entities are behind all the evil here! GIVE us the STRENGTH and DETERMINATION to fight back, but in the way YOU want us to!!”😭🙏
THEN, just before I was turning in last night, I saw this post from Trey Smith. I would look at it again this morning, to find out what Trey was talking about. See the link above from YouTube.
IT was about the DEMONIC entities that ARE over this nation, and how we need to pray spiritual warfare prayers to FIGHT BACK against them.
IT WAS about CHARLIE KIRK, and how a young man who loved the Lord Jesus and this nation, was targeted for his faith, and assassinated right before our eyes.
The demons think they’ve won. They took out a major servant of God “out”–so they think.
What they REALLY did (and this is why the LORD God allowed it happen)–is make the REST OF US who already have been in this VERY 👿SUPERNATURAL 🛡️SPIRITUAL ⚔️WARFARE–become even MORE resolved to 😡NEVER BACK DOWN, no MATTER what the evil ones throw at us–
And ALSO–I am VERY sure, that there are THOUSANDS upon THOUSANDS–possibly even a million or two people–that just became more ARDENT FOLLOWERS of ✝️Christ, BECAUSE of what happened to Charlie Kirk yesterday.
⚔️WE MUST TAKE BACK OUR GOD-GIVEN RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES to speak out our ✡️📖✝️faith, SHOW IT any way we can, PREACH the WORD anytime, anywhere, and not let ANYONE shut us down for it!!
ALSO–those who HATE ✡️GOD, the Lord JESUS ✝️CHRIST, and HIS 📖WORD–and want to either silence us because they are atheists, humanists, satanists and/or worse yet, worship and serve another god/goddess (Allah/Ba’al/Baphomet/Apollyon/Chemosh/Molech, etc. Athena/Diana/Minerva/Ishtar/Innana/Venus, etc.)—I 😡have words for them-
YOU WILL NOT SILENCE US!! YOU WILL NOT STRIP US OF OUR RESOLVE! YOU WILL NOT BREAK US!! YOU WILL NOT TAKE FROM US, THE VERY SPIRIT OF THE LIVING MOST ✡️HIGH GOD AND HIS SON!! YOU WILL BOW DOWN YOUR KNEES TO THE LORD JESUS ✝️CHRIST; YOU WILL CALL📖 HIM “LORD”; YOU WILL END UP IN THE ETERNAL 🔥FIRES–EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU WHO TURNED HIS BACK ON THE MOST HIGH, AND SOUGHT TO DESTROY THE VERY HUMAN BEINGS HE MADE “IN HIS IMAGE”!!
YOU HAVE ALREADY LOST, DEMONIC 👿ENTITIES!! YOU ALREADY HAVE LOST, HA SATAN AND REBELLIOUS ANGELS!!! YOU ARE DESTINED FOR THE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥ETERNAL FIRES, FOREVER AND EVER!
Charlie Kirk was DESTINED to a certain 🙏PATH the LORD God laid out for him long ago. HE CHOSE to walk that Path, praise God. He became the man of God the Lord Jesus PRAYED for him to be (see John 17); Jesus prayed for ALL of us to walk a certain Path for Him, giving us certain callings and purpose to LIVE FOR ✡️📖✝️HIM and daily LIVE OUT His Word.
Charlie did that. EVEN Carlos Acutis did that, and at such a precious young age, and thank God that he did–many a Gen Z’er and Millennial have now TWO young men to look up to–although they were both sinners, and KNEW they needed a Savior; BUT–they followed the Path the LORD God set out for them IN FAITH and trusting Him, not knowing how it would end. They fought a good fight, they finished their individual race here on Earth.
They are NOW where I so long😭💔to be–at HOME with the LORD God, His Son, and all our Family of brothers and sisters in the Faith that have gone before us.
ALL we need to do, beloved, is to WALK the PATH the the LORD GOD destined for us. 🙏📖ASK, SEEK, and KNOCK–the LORD Jesus WILL direct you on that Path, to do whatever it is HE called you to do. Charlie and Carlos (just two examples)–two brave men who loved their Lord (both with essentially😃😄 the SAME NAME–I just realized that!) found out what THEIR individual PATHS were to be, and WALKED those Paths, until the Lord JESUS called them to their heavenly✨HOME.
YOU who are the Lord’s–GO OUT AND DO THE SAME!!! DO NOT ALLOW the evil in this world to put FEAR in you!!! DO NOT allow ANY human being to STOP you from answering the CALL of GOD in YOUR LIFE!!
MY individual CALLING has been a tough one–1)in the office of a Prophet, to “inform and warn” everyone of what is written in His ✡️📖✝️Word–preaching the WHOLE counsel of God, and 2)Dealing with Spiritual Warfare, the supernatural spiritual realm–both the angelic, demonic, and everything in between. NO ONE in their 😫right mind would choose such paths. I 🙁most certainly didn’t, but that’s why I “Jonahed” out of there 😞for a time, and then 🙏totally SURRENDERED to the Lord back in December of 2016, and it has been a WILD RIDE of on this Path of FAITH and TRUST in Him ever since.
BUT–the LORD JESUS has been walking right beside me, holding my hand as I am “Walking in the Dark with FAITH”–FAITH in HIM and HIS📖 WORD that 🙏upholds me, strengthens me, encourages ❤️me, emboldens ❤️🔥me, comforts ❤️🩹me, and makes me the 🛡️⚔️WARRIOR I AM IN ✡️📖✝️HIM, TODAY.
🛡️⚔️BE THE WARRIOR OF GOD THAT HE HAS CALLED YOU TO BE.
BE A CHARLIE. BE A CARLOS. BE a JOAN of ARC. BE a BENEDICT. BE a JOHN VIANNEY. BE a PADRE PIO. Be a GEMMA. BE A MARY. BE A PAUL. BE A STEPHEN. BE AN ANDREW and PETER and MATTHEW and ELIJAH, and JEREMIAH, and SAMUEL, and AMOS, and DAVID, and MOSES, etc.
❤️🔥🙏BE WHO THE LORD GOD CALLED YOU TO BE. And do not let ANYONE ever tell you otherwise, who or what you are. YOU are a CHILD of the LIVING GOD. YOU, beloved, have PURPOSE. YOU are ❤️LOVED by the MOST HIGH GOD. YOUR LIFE COUNTS!
NOW GO–be that man or woman of God that HE DESTINED for you to be, in JESUS’ MIGHTY NAME.
This is my store on Zazzle store—“Faith In The Dark”. I know I have shared this a few times in the past couple of weeks, but with more new items being in the store, and surprisingly, there are quite a few people out there that still don’t know I even have a store on Zazzle, I will continue to share this.
I’m still waiting for AMAZON to work out the kinks (for my URL) in trying to share my Author’s 📚Page, but until then you could just go on Amazon, and look my name up or the title of my 📚books (“Walking in the Dark With FAITH”), to see the four books I currently have on there for sale.
It’s amazing how different this link shares between the social media platforms… this time I’m sharing it from the ZAZZLE app on my phone.
PLEASE go and see all the newer items I have just added; there will be more to come! THANK ❤️YOU to the few people who have either visited my store, and have also FOLLOWED ME on Zazzle as well.
You can do the same at my Author’s page on Amazon—in fact, I would be most grateful if you would click on the follow button!! It would mean so much to me! And if you either have purchased a book from me in the past, or do purchase one now, I would also truly appreciate you leaving a written review.
The idea of being a “starving artist was never part of what I chose for myself. Who honestly would want to go through seven years of college and grad work in a seminary like I just have, write dozens and dozens of papers, work hard to get the grades I did and the degrees I was awarded, and then end up not even being able to get a job at places where I have almost the exact qualifications and experience the companies/ministries/schools are looking for?
I was told seven years ago by an HR manager that even though my resume showed, I had the qualifications to do the job I applied for at Rider College, unfortunately the associate degree wouldn’t be enough— these days, she said, I definitely would need to have at least a bachelor’s degree in order to get any good paying job. So September 2018 I started on this college journey again, and I haven’t stopped until this June, 2025. I have tried several times over the past few years in Pennsylvania and now the almost 2 years I’ve been back in New Jersey, to get at least a part-time job that has something to do with all the hard work I put into at school.
The LORD OPENS AND CLOSES (or KEEPS those doors closed) the “doors 🚪of opportunity” in our lives (see Revelation 3:7-8). For whatever reason that right now is not altogether humanly understood by me, this is the way the LORD wants it to be…and HE has the final “say so” on EVERYTHING.
But then again, I’m sure Paul the Apostle didn’t think his tent ⛺️ making (see Acts 18:1-4) would have to be a major part of his life-the part of the life the LORD God chose for him, not what he chose for himself. But, since Paul surrendered all to the Lord Jesus, and I have done that myself several years ago, we have had to walk on the Path HE chose for us, in FAITH, trusting that no matter how grim it may look sometimes, He IS in control, He knows what is best for us, and He WILL provide.
I am not thrilled to have to rely on such an unstable income, along with writing my 📚 books. But that’s what the LORD put in my Path to do, while concentrating on sharing His Word-and some of it is definitely not welcomed by human ears to hear—which makes all of this that much more difficult to do as His servant.
BUT—the message of the ENTIRE WORD ✡️📖✝️of God must be heard. We cannot “cut out” the parts we don’t like or agree with. I am like my brother in the Faith, Paul, who said, “Therefore I testify to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of all, for I did not shrink from declaring to you THE WHOLE COUNSEL OF GOD” (Acts 20:26-27). The Lord Jesus will deal with those who refused to heed His📖Word on the Day of ⚖️Judgment(see Revelation 20:11-15).
THOSE artistic skills and abilities that He has placed in me to use, are to the LORD more “doors 🚪of opportunity” to reach thousands, and hopefully millions more, with His Word and message of REPENTANCE, HOPE, SALVATION, and REDEMPTION.
Until He knows I am done with my service here to Him, I will continue to walk the Path in the Dark with the FAITH I have in Him, holding His hand, knowing that He will always be faithful “to complete that good work in me, until the Day of Jesus Christ” (Phil. 1:6)
During one of my courses this past year while obtaining my Master’s degree, I had to choose a passage to write a paper on, and I was led by the Spirit to choose Ephesians 4:1-6.
I had to take it apart, line by line, and exegete it, explaining what Paul was truly saying in the original Greek language.
The first three verses seem to tell a message of how we are to grow in Christ, within the calling that the Lord placed on us (myself, it is in the office of a Prophet and to fight against the demonic in Spiritual Warfare), letting those virtues take hold of us, as we “let go” of ourselves more and more, to be conformed to the image of His Son (Rom. 8:29-30).
The next three verses, 4-6, is the KEY to allowing the Lord to do is work within each of us—Paul reminding us that there is ONE (εις) Spirit, that is, the HOLY SPIRIT of God, which enters into each “born again” believer of Christ (Jn. 3:3,5,7), once they truly become His child through faith in Him (Jn. 1:12).
We have that ONE HOPE that keeps us moving forward in our faith (vs. 4),
Along with knowing there is ONE LORD, ONE FAITH, and ONE BAPTISM—not several thousand splinters of beliefs that they enemy of our souls managed to deceive us to do within the Church Body;
Because there is only ONE GOD and FATHER of us ALL (vs. 6), who is the Father of Spirits (Heb. 12:9), to Whom One Day, we ALL must appear before and give an account of ourselves (2 Cor. 5:10) at the Judgment, and how we used the gifts, talents, skills and abilities that He gave unto each of us.
If we choose to HONOR the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in this short time here on Earth, He faithfully promises to reward us at the End of Days, as long as we serve Him with the right heart and mindset (Col. 3:23-34), and by not losing heart and growing weary (Gal. 6:9), while striving to be a good soldier of Jesus Christ (2 Tim. 2:3).
Remember, the Lord CALLED us to be HIS servants. Servants OBEY the Master.
The LORD is the Captain of the Host—we are part of His Holy Army, as are the angels that serve Him.
He IS the ONE God and Father of us ALL—both the angelic and the human spirits—Who is OVER all and THROUGH all and-don’t forget this child of God-IN all (vs. 6).
My tears—our tears, One Day, will be wiped away by the very Hand that made this Universe.
The very One who went to the Cross for us, and made a way for us to come Home to Him.
The saints of old—Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Noah, David, Moses, Ruth, Jeremiah, Esther, and so many others, longed to see the Day of the Messiah approach!
He, the Lord Jesus, visited them during His three days in Sheol, and on the Third Day when He was risen, He took them as His “First Fruits”-one of the Jewish Feasts that were also fulfilled by Him. He took them Home with Him to present before the Father in Heaven.
Those who came out of their graves, and walked the streets of Jerusalem in Matthew 27:52-53 were the very ones who waited for their Messiah all those millennia, as we now wait for His Return in the clouds, to take us Home. They were witnesses of Jesus’ resurrection from the grave, as they were for their own!
One Day, beloved. One Day, it WILL happen, just as He said it would. No more tears. No more crying. No more Death. Only Eternal Life to look forward to, in Christ, with the Father, and the Ruach HaKodesh—the Holy Spirit.
One Day. Are you ready to have your tears wiped away?
It WILL happen, just as the LORD God said it would.
Ezra the scribe sought the Lord to do His will. He studied, prayed, memorized His Word, and then taught it to the people. Even the Persian king Artaxerxes recognized the Spirit of God within Ezra, and decreed that what Ezra needed for his people, it should be done. Also, that Ezra should set magistrates and judges over the people, and he himself teach the people what they do not know (Ez 7:21, 25).
We would do very well to read the life of Ezra, and follow his lead in how he spent time getting to know the LORD God, reading and studying His Word, praying, and then taking the Word of God to the people, to teach and preach it to them.
Having the Word of God in your mind and heart (Ps. 119:9-11) is a very good thing these days. It is what keeps me in perfect peace (Is. 26:3), even during such evil days as we are living in.
When the enemy tries to get a foothold in my life, I quickly rebuke the evil ones with Scripture I have memorized, or go to the Word and start speaking it out, to extinguish the fiery darts (Eph. 6:16) that the enemy shoots onto the battlefield (my mind).
Yes, the hand of God can work for good in all souls that allow the Triune Godhead into their lives.
If one does not have the Spirit of God living and working in them, then as it is written, “the wrath of God abides in him” (Jn. 3:36).
Decide for yourself just who you will serve in this life (Joshua 24:15); for it WILL determine where you end up in Eternity.
BUT, realize when you do all these things, it IS for certain that you will: Lose friends like Jesus did. Lose family members like Jesus did. Have people ignore you like they did to Jesus. Have those who were the closest to you, as best friends, even, no longer want to talk to you or see you anymore, like what they did to Jesus (that actually happened to Joseph and Mary, His parents, as well). Have people hate you for no reason at all, like they hated Jesus. Have people ostracize you, like they did Jesus. Have people tell lies about you, like they did to Jesus. Have some want to even harm you or kill you, like how they wanted to do to Jesus. Have some put curses on you, like they did with Jesus. Have people not include you in family gatherings anymore, because your love for Jesus. Have people try to silence you because of your love for Jesus.
The devil moves people to see you as their enemy, because you put God and His Word first in your life, as Jesus did. They will persecute you, because they persecuted Jesus.
No matter how many times you reach out, No matter how many times you try to let them know you still love them, No matter how many times you tell them you miss them and want to stay in touch with them, No matter how successful and accomplished you can be-if you love Jesus, most will have hardly anything to do with you.
But did not Jesus tell us that would all happen? He did. Is it still worth following Him, then, to lose all those who would rather not have anything to do with you, because of your love for the Lord Jesus, His Father, and the Holy Spirit? Is it REALLY all worth it?
YES, IT IS.
I do not like it; it breaks my heart that loved ones have nothing to do with me anymore. And if you are a follower of Christ, it WILL happen to you too.
BUT I will STILL go on, loving, caring, praying, forgiving, being patient with and serving others, even if while I’m here on this Earth, I do not see the “fruit” of my labors. I will see them fulfilled One Day, when my Lord soon calls me Home, and honestly, that is really all that matters.
Jesus IS all that matters to me.
Because as HE hung on that Cross, I was ALL that MATTERED to HIM.
