DEALING WITH ALCOHOL ADDICTION

Alcohol addiction is a serious disease, and it has the tendency to spread like gangrene to the spouse and family members even though they do not drink.

Now when the spouse comes home late, say 3.00am... everybody else sleeps late, because they worry about him/her.

therefore all family members tend to wake up with a hangover, even though they never drank any alcohol, because they had a "worry filled night" Not an alcohol filled night.

When the spouse cannot wake up to go to work, and delays he must give an excuse, most times the wife has to lie on his behalf because he cannot answer the phone...he is dead asleep....

she lies to protect her husband, his income, which she needs for sustenance and his name. So alcoholics are consummate liars, they also cause their spouses and their CHILDREN to adopt the same behaviour. The child sees her mother lie for and on behalf of the father, and she picks that up. The mother may ask her to answer the phone while she attends to an emergency, the child answers the phone, and lies....she has seen her mother do it countless of times.

Alcoholics also isolate themselves from normal family activities because those activities interfere with the desire to feed the addiction, when that happens the wife cannot be fully involved in normal family activities, because some of them include the support of the husband. She must give excuses.


But what exactly is alcohol addiction?

It can be defined as:
"increased tolerance, causing the abuser to drink greater amounts of alcohol to achieve the same desired effect."

The American Council for Drug Education termes signs and symptoms of substance abuse thus:

Smell of alcohol on breath
Irritability
Euphoria
Loss of physical coordination
Inappropriate or violent behavior
Loss of balance
Unsteady gait
Slurred and/or incoherent speech
Loss of consciousness
Slowed thinking
Depression
Impaired short-term memory
Blackouts"

They also state in part thus:

"When a person consumes alcohol, the drug acts on nerve cells deep in the brain. Alcohol initially serves as a stimulant, then induces feelings of relaxation and reduced anxiety. Consumption of two or three drinks in an hour can impair judgment, lower inhibitions, and induce mild euphoria. Five drinks consumed in two hours may raise the blood alcohol level to 0.10 percent, high enough to be considered intoxicated."

But let us look at this from another perspective....

Woe to those who rise early in the morning to run after their drinks, who stay up late at night till they are inflamed with wine.
They have harps and lyres at their banquets, tambourines and flutes and wine, but they have no regard for the deeds of the LORD, no respect for the work of his hands.
Therefore my people will go into exile for lack of understanding;their men of rank will die of hunger and their masses will be parched with thirst.
Therefore the grave enlarges its appetite and opens its mouth without limit; into it will descend their nobles and masses with all their brawlers and revelers.
So man will be brought low and mankind humbled,the eyes of the arrogant humbled
(Isaiah 5:11-15)

Embedded in this text are several truths.....

* There is a woe prepared for the drinker by God, look at the picture, the scenario painted by the prophet,
he describes the bars, and discos, and music halls that sell the drink, he describes the music instruments of meriment back in their days

He declares his THEREFORE..THE CONSEQUENCES in these terms

* They go into exile, exile is not home, it is away from home, 90% of alcoholics only use their home to sleep off their hangovers, they do not see their children growing up, they do not cultivate a relationship with their children, they are already alienated from their spouse and children, they have been exiled!!!!

* The second is serious, it says " men of rank will die of hunger and their massess will be perched with thirst"

do you know what the symptoms of withdrawal are? The American Council for Drugs Education describes them thus...


" Tremors
Agitation
Anxiety and panic attacks
Paranoia and delusions
Hallucinations (usually visual)
Nausea and vomiting
Increased body temperature
Elevated blood pressure and heart rate
Convulsions
Seizures"

This is an accurate description of perched with thirst, they are in the throes of death, it is a consequence of making wine their god, and totally disregarding the deeds of the LORD.All addicts must go through a hard time to break the addiction.

* Then there is the inevitable consequence after death, this text does not even try to go round it, it talks of HELL, the final resting place of the damned, if they continue to pursue this course, the grave is said to ENLARGE ITS APPETITE, opening its mouth without limit to HUMBLE the nobles and the arrogant.

Addiction is a condition as we said...And in scripture there are always answers.

Now before we get to the anwers to this in scripture I want to examine a certain myth in Roman pantheology.

In Roman pantheology there was a god of wine and intoxication called bacchus. His festival was celebrated on March 16 and 17. The Bacchanalia, orgies in honor of Dionysus the same as bacchus, were introduced in Rome around 200 BC. These infamous celebrations, notorious for their sexual and criminal character, got so out of hand that they were forbidden by the Roman Senate in 186 BC. Bacchus is also identified with the old-Italian god Liber. (for liberality)

These kind of tales by the way are sometimes very important in dealing with the root cause of the problem, Bacchus is the original derivative of the word baccy where you get the now tobacco. He is the god of wines and spirits...so, you will find that actually this is devil worship, there are actually songs composed in beer dens in worship and adoration of beer, some even call beer their first wife. In some cases the Lords prayer has been re-written to incorporate alcohol...eg

" Our Father
Who art in the bar
Give us our daily dose of wine.." etc

Now there is a reason the GOD of heaven hates idolatry

1. if you look at the worship of bacchus above you will see the fruit.
* crime
*sexual immorality
*liberality (doing whatever you want in disregard to those around you)

It got so bad that it was banned. Satan cause one to remove ALL INHIBITIONS....
Then he chains you, puts you in bondage...lets look at some interesting scriptures...


The case of Zedekiah the King of Judah is very interesting. Jeremiah the prophet speaking the word of GOD to him told him that if he would surrender to Nebbucchadnezzar King of Babylon he would live,(Jer 27:12) but he rejected the Word of God.

And this is what happened to him....

" Then he(Nebbuchadnezzar) put out Zedekiah’s eyes and bound him with bronze shackles to take him to Babylon." (Jer 39:7)

Because the King rejected the word of God, he was BOUND IN BRONZE SHACKLES and his EYES WERE PUT OUT.

Do you know, that bondage and blindness co-exist. One is the result of the other, addiction is caused because of disregard to the danger of excessive drinking(blindness), the King was put in chains, I want to suggest to you that the route to addiction starts with the taste,(enticement) at the first drink you can stop, there is no chain, as you progress, satan starts shackling the chains around you, with time they are tied tighter and heavier and heavier and heavier, until at some point you just cannot stop!!!!

It is written....

Some sat in darkness and the deepest gloom, prisoners suffering in iron chains,
for they had rebelled against the words of God and despised the counsel of the Most High.
So he subjected them to bitter labor; they stumbled, and there was no one to help. (Psalms 107:10-12)

The darkness and gloom, is the last position of an addict, many begin to become suicidal, they know that they are in bondage, because of their rebellion.

BUT THERE IS A WAY OUT!!!! HALELUHYA!!!!

There are several scriptures that show that shackles and chains can be broken... lets look at a few...

Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress.
He brought them out of darkness and the deepest gloom and broke away their CHAINS.
(Psalms 107:13-14)


Listen to me..they cried out, fervently, desperately, determinedly to the Lord, the hebrew word used there is zaak...literally to shriek...
And he did it, he broke the chains...

Remember the story of Paul and Silas?...

So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was earnestly praying to God for him.
The night before Herod was to bring him to trial, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and sentries stood guard at the entrance.
Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side and woke him up. “Quick, get up!” he said, and the chains fell off Peter’s wrists.(Acts 12:5-7)

Do you know that it is written....

" He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him" ? (Heb 11:6)


There are several steps to follow here....

1. You must accept that you have that condition. You must agree with God that you have sinned, you have become a worshipper of bacchus, and have practiced idolatry!
You must agree that you ARE ADDICTED.

2. You must REPENT of that lifestyle, REPENT means to turn away...the greek word for repent is " metanoia" which means to change ones mind, direction, ways....

3. You must RENOUNCE that lifestyle, it must become your MOST SEVERE enemy. It is Satanic worship!!!!! It has no place in your life now

4. You must accept JESUS CHRIST in your heart. No option, he is the chain breaker, no other one is effective, have you ever heard of relapses...those are other methods.... good but they dont have the Lord Jesus in it.

It is written...

"Whom the Son sets free is FREE INDEED!!!" John 8:36

5. Unrelenting prayer and fasting.

It is written...

"such will not come out except by prayer and fasting" Matthew 17:21

PRAY THIS PRAYER...

DEAR LORD...I AGREE WITH YOUR WORD THAT I AM A SINNER, I ASK YOU TO FORGIVE ME FOR ALL MY SINS. I HAVE BEEN A WORSHIPPER OF BACCHUS AND I HAVE GIVEN HIM MANY SACRIFICES, EVEN SACRIFICING MY FAMILY AT THE ALTAR OF BACCHUS.
I HAVE DENIED MY CONDITION I HAVE LIED AND ALIENATED MY FAMILY AND LIED TO MY EMPLOYERS..FORGIVE ME.

IN MY OWN STRENGTH I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I CANNOT BREAK THESE CHAINS AWAY, ACCORDING TO YOUR WORD CAN BREAK ANY CHAINS PLEASE BREAK THESE CHAINS OF ADDICTION TO (MENTION THEM).....AROUND ME DEAR LORD

I RENOUNCE ALL SATANIC WORSHIP, ALL DRINKING AND ALL SINS OCCASSIONED BY THESE DRINKING SPREES

I ASK YOU LORD TO COME AND TAKE OVER MY LIFE, AND BE MY LORD AND SAVIOUR.

I NOW COMMAND THE SPIRIT OF BACCHUS AND ALL HIS MINIONS TO LEAVE ME RIGHT NOW AND GO TO THE PLACE WHERE GOD WILL TAKE THEM AND NEVER RETURN IN JESUS NAME AMEN

please remember, to some their healing will be instant, to others it will require ministry teams to do it, but this is my final statement,

NEVER GIVE UP UNTIL YOU FIND YOU FREEDOM

ORIGINS OF HIV AIDS

The origins of HIV AIDS have been disputed for a very long time. I give the TRUTH

Let me preamble by stating this...that if you know the origin of a problem, you are easily able to provide the solution.

The second thing I wish to state is this.... that if you have a two tiered philosophy of life.. this proposition will not make sense to you.If you divide the Physical and spiritual realms into two neat packages, there will be an excluded middle. The one and the other complement, one can actively affect the other, and if you are not careful, you may be lost in (great) speculative theories about all things because you have relied on your own two tiered wisdom.



So what is the origin of HIV AID'S?

Lets delve deep for a while into a history lesson...

There was a French man who was called Frederic Auguste Bartholdi, who thought to design a large statue and present it to the America's. Bartholdi joined the Freemasons Lodge Alsace-Lorraine in Paris in 1875. The Statue of liberty was presented as a gift from the French Grand Orient Temple Masons to The Masons of America and in 1884 it was presented.

several things I want to point out before I go on with this history...

1. Freemasonry is not Christianity it is satanism!!!

2. The statue of liberty is derived from the ancient Roman goddess of liberty "libertas", the goddess of freedom. It was originally a diety of personal freedom and has evolved to become the goddess of the commonwealth. So clearly it is an IDOL, about which the second commandment in the law of God states.....


" You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above and on the earth beneath or in the waters below...(Ex 20:4, Deut 5:8, )

" Dear children keep from idols" (1 John 5:21)

So let me continue with this history...

When the Statue of Liberty was presented to the Americans, it was placed in NEW YORK harbour.(I will look at the importance of that city later),
And the then President Groover Cleveland made the following remarks...

" We will not forget that Liberty has made here her home, nor shall her chosen ALTAR be be neglected" This was said on October 28 1886.

And this symbol has remained the visual and spiritual nerve center of America, ever since.

Now let us see if there was some kind of effect of this statue....

1. THE REMOVAL OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS FROM PUBLIC LIFE....

In 2001, Roy Moore, then Chief Justice of Alabama, installed a monument to the Ten Commandments in the state judicial building. In 2003, he was ordered in the case of Glassroth v. Moore by a federal judge to remove the monument, but he refused to comply, ultimately leading to his removal from office. The Supreme Court refused to hear the case, allowing the lower court's decision to stand.


Remember the second commandment above???


"Do not make for yourselves images of anything in heaven or on earth or in the water under the earth. Do not bow down to any idol or worship it, because I am the LORD your God and I tolerate no rivals. I bring punishment on those who hate me and on their descendants down to the third and fourth generation." ......


So ONE of them , either the Statue of Liberty or the 10 commandments had to go...WHICH WENT??? AND WHICH IS SYSTEMATICALLY BEING REMOVED FROM EVERY PUBLIC SPHERE IN AMERICA????

2. ABORTION


The American court issued its decision on January 22, 1973, with a 7 to 2 majority vote in favor of ABORTION

The Roe Court deemed abortion a fundamental right under the United States Constitution.
Judge Harry Blackmun wrote the courts majority opinion.

Consequences of Roe vv Wade an estimated 54,559,615 (FIFTY FOUR MILLION)abortions in America only

These figures were given by NRLC education director Dr. Randall K. O’Bannon.
The data is based on research from the Centers for Disease Control and the pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute, a former Planned Parenthood research arm.

Astonishing.......

3. GAY RIGHTS MOVEMENT IN USA

1969 is often regarded as the year that the gay rights movement took off.
When the NYPD raided a gay bar in Greenwich Village and started arresting employees and drug performers, they got more than they bargained for--a crowd of some 2,000 lesbian, gay, and transgender supporters of the bar took on the police, forcing them into the club. Three days of riots ensued.

A year later, activists in several major cities, including New York, held a parade to commemorate the revolt. Pride parades have been held in June ever since.
It is now considered ok in the USA for sexual orientation to be same sex, with such acronyms as msm,(men sleeping with men) now in vogue.

4. THE SEXUAL REVOLUTION

The sexual revolution in 1960's America was typified by a dramatic shift in traditional values related to sex, and sexuality. Sex became more socially acceptable outside the strict boundaries of heterosexual marriage.
Studies have shown that, between 1965 and 1975, the number of women who had had sexual intercourse prior to marriage showed a marked increase.
With the discovery of the pill and birth control so easy and effective, the last vestige of sexual restraint went out the window.
And moral decay was the result….rapid moral decay
liberty-liberty to do what we want.


So is it not written ....

"Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is sacred, and you are that temple?"
(1 Cor 3:16-17)

When Nadab and Abihu, presented strange fire(un-authorised)before the Lord contrary to His command, HE consumed them with fire(lev 10:1-3)

When Uzziah became unfaithful to his God by entering the temple of God to burn incense contrary the law that stated that only a consecrated priest from the tribe of Levi could do so, he was struck by leprosy(2 chron 26:16-20)

WE ARE HIS TEMPLE!!!!!!!!!


I believe that the statue of liberty became a SNARE...

In the days of Gideon, he made an Ephod, out of gold and this thing became a snare to Gideon and his family(Judges 8:27)

But they mixed with the nations and learned to do as they did.
They served their idols, which became a snare to them. (as a result…..)
They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to the demons;
they poured out innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, and the land was polluted with blood. (abortion/neglect/no discipline) Thus they became unclean by their acts, and played the whore in their deeds. (pornography adultery and licentiousness)
(psalms 106:35-39)


Now It is written:

" ...The sin of the Amorites has not reached its full measure" (Gen 15:16)
In 400 years the wrath of God would be visited on the Amorites because of their sin....


Similarly, the liberal atmosphere in America, the licensciousness, the homosexuality,these sins reached their full measure...

Concider...

At the beginning of the 1980s various reports began to emerge in California and New York of a small number of men who had been diagnosed with rare forms of cancer and/or pneumonia.
The first official documentation of the condition was published by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on 5th June 1981. Entitled “Pneumocystis Pneumonia – Los Angeles”, the report detailed the cases of five young gay men hospitalized with serious PCP, cytomegalovirus, and disseminated Candida infections.

Almost a month after the CDC’s announcement, the New York Times reported that a total of 41 homosexual men had been diagnosed with Kaposi’s Sarcoma, eight of whom had died less than 24 months after the diagnosis was made.

At the end of 1981, 5 to 6 new cases of the disease were being reported each week.
By 1982 the condition had acquired a number of names - GRID (gay-related immune deficiency), ‘gay cancer’, ‘community-acquired immune dysfunction’ and ‘gay compromise syndrome’
By June, 355 cases of Kaposi’s Sarcoma and/or serious opportunistic infections in previously healthy young people had been reported to the CDC.A total of 20 states had reported cases and the disease was no longer solely affecting gay men; there were a small number of cases among heterosexual men and women. Over half of those identified as heterosexual had used intravenous drugs at some point.

By mid-1982 there was a panic. People were starting to tremble with fear. It was clear that these were more than isolated incidents
It was not until July at a meeting in Washington, D.C., that the acronym AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) was suggested. The CDC used the term for the first time in September 1982, when it reported that an average of one to two cases of AIDS were being diagnosed in America every day.

From the outset, AIDS was linked to groups such as gay men and intravenous drug users
as the ‘80s started going along, after ’82, say ’83, ’84, more and more people were getting sick. Fear was gripping the city and the nation. Gay people stopped going out. Nobody knew how it was transmitted and people were afraid…

I call all this "FULL MEASURE OF SIN"
Is it not a strange coincidence that at the heart of New York, WHERE THE STATUE WAS PLACED, is where the OUT BREAK was discovered??, I would want to say also BROKE OUT? But scientists say that it started somewhere in Africa...really???

There is a reason that this study concentrates on America...Through out History, the dominant culture influences thought, religion, culture, language and behaviour of the rest of the known world. When the Romans were in control, the world spoke the Roman language, and adopted even their religion. So America, which is the dominant culture of today, influences other cultures.

So what they do significantly influences the rest of the world!Even spiritually!!!

Now my proposition is this that the snare led to liberty to do anything, and that brought forth the wrath of God!!!

So what must America do?

They must:

"BREAK DOWN THEIR ALTAR...SMASH THEIR SACRED STONE, CUT DOWN THEIR ASHERA POLE, AND BURN THEIR IDOL IN THE FIRE....."(THE STATUE OF LIBERTY)(DEUT 7:5)

THEY MUST RE-INFLUENCE THE WORLD BY RENOUNCING LIBERTAS...AND STAND WITH THE LORD THE GOD OF HEAVEN

THEN THEY MUST

"REPENT AND TURN TO GOD SO THAT THEIR SIN MAY BE WIPED OUT, THAT TIMES OF REFRESHING MAY COME FROM THE LORD..." (ACTS 3:19)



MAY YOUR HEALING COME

CAPTAIN GADAR PERETZ.......

WHERE HAS THE STRENGTH OF MEN GONE?

1. Murder (hatred, jealousy, abortion, anger, resentment rage)

Gen 4:9 and Jehovah said unto Cain, Where is your brother Abel? And he said, I do not know. Am I my brother's keeper?
Gen 4:10 And He said, what have you done? The voice of your brother's blood cries to Me from the ground.
Gen 4:11 And now you are cursed more than the ground which opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand.
Gen 4:12 When you till the ground, it will not again give its strength to you. And you shall be a vagabond and a fugitive in the earth.

The grounds strength was taken away from Cain
The reason was because of the sin of shedding innocent blood
Cain’s judgment was to be a vagabond and a fugitive upon the earth

2. Incest (defiling the fathers bed)

Gen 49:3 Reuben, you are my first-born, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the
excellence of dignity and the excellence of power.
Gen 49:4 Unstable as water, you shall not excel, because you went up to your father's bed; then
You defiled it. He went up to my couch.

Reuben lost excellence, might, dignity and strength because he defiled his Fathers bed
He also lost his heritage as the first born.

3. (breaking the nazarite vow; sexual immorality, drunkenness, defilement)


Jdg 16:17 That he told her all his heart, and said unto her, There hath not come a razor upon mine head; for I have been a Nazarite unto God from my mother's womb: if I be shaven, then my strength will go from me, and I shall become weak, and be like any other man.
Jdg 16:18 And when Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, Come up this once, for he hath shewed me all his heart. Then the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and brought money in their hand.
Jdg 16:19 And she made him sleep upon her knees; and she called for a man, and she caused him to shave off the seven locks of his head; and she began to afflict him, and his strength went from him.
Jdg 16:20 And she said, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he awoke out of his sleep, and said, I will go out as at other times before, and shake myself. And he wist not that the LORD was departed from him.
Jdg 16:21 But the Philistines took him, and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with fetters of brass; and he did grind in the prison house.

Samson was a nazarite, a man dedicated from birth to the service of God by a vow. He was supposed to be taught the way of a nazarite by his parents. (Numbers 6)
A nazarite was separated to God, he was to remain Holy, he was never to take strong wine, he was never to allow a razor near his head, he was never to go near dead person or animal…. He was not to defile himself in any way.)
However Samson defiled himself in all the above ways, he slept with prostitutes, he married a philistine, he drank of the grape vine, he went near dead bodies, and he allowed his hair to be shaved…. The bible states “his strength went from him” and he “knew not that the Lord had departed from him”


4. (despising discipline, and scorning the altar of Jehovah)


Sa 2:27 And there came a man of God to Eli and said to him, "Thus the LORD has said, 'Did I indeed reveal myself to the house of your father when they were in Egypt subject to the house of Pharaoh?
1Sa 2:28 did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to go up to my altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? I gave to the house of your father all my offerings by fire from the people of Israel.
1Sa 2:29 Why then do you scorn my sacrifices and my offerings that I commanded, and honor your sons above me by fattening yourselves on the choicest parts of every offering of my people Israel?'
1Sa 2:30 Therefore the LORD, the God of Israel, declares: 'I promised that your house and the house of your father should go in and out before me forever,' but now the LORD declares: 'Far be it from me, for those who honor me I will honor, and those who despise me shall be lightly esteemed.
1Sa 2:31 Behold, the days are coming when I will cut off your strength and the strength of your father's house, so that there will not be an old man in your house.
1Sa 2:32 Then in distress you will look with envious eye on all the prosperity that shall be bestowed on Israel, and there shall not be an old man in your house forever.

Eli’ s house lost its strength because He was not diligent in disciplining his children.they desecrated the offerings made before God, and despised the laws of the levite, for this reason, God “cut of..” their strength, so that they had no old man in their fathers house, from then on Eli was the last man in that house to live to old age, the rest died in their youth”


5. Rebellion arrogance and disobedience.

1Sa 28:16 And Samuel said, "Why then do you ask me, since the LORD has turned from you and become your enemy?
1Sa 28:17 The LORD has done to you as he spoke by me, for the LORD has torn the kingdom out of your hand and given it to your neighbor, David.
1Sa 28:18 Because you did not obey the voice of the LORD and did not carry out his fierce wrath against Amalek, therefore the LORD has done this thing to you this day.
1Sa 28:19 Moreover, the LORD will give Israel also with you into the hand of the Philistines, and tomorrow you and your sons shall be with me. The LORD will give the army of Israel also into the hand of the Philistines."
1Sa 28:20 Then Saul fell at once full length on the ground, filled with fear because of the words of Samuel. And there was no strength in him, for he had eaten nothing all day and all night.




The cardinal problem with saul was he did not “obey the voice of the LORD and he did not carry out his fierce wrath against Amalek”
Samuel in his life had told Saul that “rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft and arrogance like the sin of idolatry…” and because of this Sauls strength was taken away, and he lost the battle of the philistines the next day.




6. Sin

Psa 31:10 For my life is spent with sorrow, and my years with sighing; my strength fails because of my iniquity, and my bones waste away.
Psa 31:11 Because of all my adversaries I have become a reproach, especially to my neighbors, and an object of dread to my acquaintances; those who see me in the street flee from me.
Psa 31:12 I have been forgotten like one who is dead; I have become like a broken vessel.
Psa 31:13 For I hear the whispering of many-- terror on every side!-- as they scheme together against me, as they plot to take my life.
Psa 31:14 But I trust in you, O LORD; I say, "You are my God."
Psa 31:15 My times are in your hand; rescue me from the hand of my enemies and from my persecutors!

The writer of the psalms declares that”… his strength has failed because of his sin.”
His bones are wasting away and his adversaries have become his reproach; probably because of David’s sin with Bathsheba, adultery and murder which caused the sword to be sent against him was the occasion of this psalm.
David says that he has become a reproach because of his enemies. The scriptures declare that “the enemies of God showed utter contempt” because of the sin of David
This probably is what caused David’s strength to fail.
Remember David singlehandedly killed a philistine giant,
David singlehandedly killed 200 philistines. He had Gods strength with him…. And under his anointing mighty men were raised, one raised his spear against 800 men, and another killed a mighty Egyptian, and another killed a lion. Yet the scriptures’ state that “his strength failed because of his sin.”



7. Un- confessed and un- repented sin


Psa 32:2 Blessed is the man against whom the LORD counts no iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit.
Psa 32:3 For when I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.
Psa 32:4 For day and night your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was dried up as by the heat of summer. Selah
Psa 32:5 I acknowledged my sin to you, and I did not cover my iniquity; I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the LORD," and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah

He who does not admit that he has sinned, or that there is a problem, or who hides his iniquity, or who ignores the fact that he is in wrong terms with God and man, “wastes away” both physically, through, stress related illnesses, such as hypertension, high blood pressure, and others, and spiritually. He has no peace, David said he “groaned all day long” and when he confessed his sin God “forgave him” and he stopped wasting away. He who hides his sin looses strength, and many men in this day and age hide their sins from others. They waste away and they wonder why they are doing it. And they end up blaming others for their own sin.


Men are the strength of a nation, they are its Providers protectors and its priests, they are the ones who have allowe the enemy to come in and take away their strength...ther is however alot of hope....it is written...

"But they that wait upon the lord...
He shall renew their strength...
they shall mount up with wings as eagles
they shall run and not be weary....
they shall walk and not faint.." Isaiah 40:31

GADAR

THE CONTINUING SERIES OF SAMSON AND DILA!

In the previous fictional post of Samson and Dila, Dila had just entered her house and ran into her mothers arms and wept. So we continue from there.

Introducting Dila's mother

Her name in Mimmi, in her youth she was a raging beauty of the modelling ilk; she is passionately in love with her husband, and adores Dila so much.She sometimes allows Dila to do whatever she wants, because she fears offending her. She sometimes conspires with her daughter against her husband to allow Dila room to be free to do whatever she wants.


Introducing Dila's father

His name is Zakar, and he is a stern man, not given to much talk. He has strong emotions, and has an inflexible will. It is not easy to change any set oppinions he has. He is also very particular about appearances, he would never reveal to ANYONE, his struggles, nor the skeletons in his own chest.


THE CONTINUING SAGA OF SAMSON AND DILA

Dila couldn't stop sobbing in her mothers arms, she wept and wept. Mimmi just held her, what else could she do, she kept telling her daughter, whatever it was, its going to be ok..but Dila was inconsolable, so Mimmi, just held her and waited for the weeping to subside.

Then she asked her daughter.."what is it dear?" and Dila asked her Mom; "Do you love me no matter what?" "O Dila, you are my joy, and I love you no matter what. we are a family, and we have weathered some storms together, and we can face the storms so long as we support each other"

Then Dila told her mother in a small voice..."I am HIV positive mum..." that shocked Mimmi, quite a bit, and her automatic response was "dear God!!!"

Then she caught her self and hugged her daughter again and said.."Well we will handle that but just know that thats not the end of the world, we will work on it." and Dila was comforted.

Mimmi told her that they should both sleep on it and then tommorrow after Dad was off to work, they would put their heads together and see what to do.

The next day after dad had left, Mimmi and Dilla sat down together and talked.

Mimmi told her daughter that there were several things that they needed to make a decision about. the first was to tell Dad about it. the question was how?, the second was to know at what stage of the progression of the HI virus had she reached, did she need to be put on ARV'S or was she to simply be put on nutrition therapy?.

Then Mimmi asked her whether she knew who infected her, and Dila immediately said to her mum.."It was Samson, and imagine he was the one that I wanted to marry mom.."

Mimmi asked her a strange question..." Do you love Samson" and Dila replied..." Yes mum, I still have very strong feelings for him, but he has betrayed me. I dont feel like talking to him ever again!"

" Don't discount him just yet, I am sure that he is very remorseful about this and he is dealing with alot of issues. I think you shouldn't cut of ties with him. You will need to confront him and tell him that what he did was not good and then you will have to forgive him Dila. Only then will both of you be strong enough to face the future."

" what abour Dad?" Dila asked.
" I will talk to him tonight when he comes home.
I will talk to him when we retire to bed.
I have to speak tenderely to him so that the shock does not affect him badly" Suddenly Mimmi had a premonition, and said to her daughter, maybe we better not tell him" "Lets wait abit", but Dila said, " No Mum, lets be done with it. I will feel much better when I know that we are all in this together"

In the evening after everyone had retired to sleep, Mimmi delicately broached the subject. In divers ways she prepared her husband for the bad news, she prepared his favorite meal, she, spoke of how proud she was of her daughter, she basically tried as best as she could to prepare him for what she was going to say.

Suddenly it dawned on her that this was not a very easy subject to introduce to her husband! But she had no choice...she was committed to this course of action.

" My dear, I have something I need to tell you"
" yeees" Zakar responded
" Dila is sick" she said.
" Oh, why didn't you tell me? I would have taken her to hospital immediately I came home, why did you wait until this hour?"
" It is not a normal disease"
Suddenly Zakar tensed.
" what do you mean ...not a normal disease, speak it out.."
" She has been infected" Mimmi said
" Infected? infected by what? what are you telling me Mimmi?"
" She has the Virus" Said Mimmi
Zakar gritted his teeth together and said slowly, "what virus?"
"HIV AIDS virus" Mimmi said
"whaaaat???? what are you saying, that daughter of yours has been whoring around, sleeping around? Does she know how much shame she has brought to me? does she? She is no longer my daughter, she must leave this house tomorrow, NO TONIGHT!!!!!"
And Zakar leapt from his bed, grabbed open the door, and found his daughter eavesdropping at the door. she had tears in her eyes.

Zakar said. "Pack your things and go! You have brought shame to me. Do you not know that I am an Elder in the Church, I am the CEO of Security and Protection services?, and a pillar in my community, do you know what you have done to me?

Mimmi tries to calm him down.
" Where will she go honey, let her sleep and then tomorrow we will discuss this, it is too late to tell her to leave. Let her organise herself tomorrow honey"

"NO" said Zakar, " She goes NOW!!!NOW!!! I will not host a whore in my house"
He went to her room, started packing her clothes, and putting them in a bag, then he took her forcefully to the door and virtually thew her out of his house.He told the security gaurd manning the gate thus...

" I do not want to see that woman anywhere near this house...EVER...UNDERSTOOD?"
"yes sir" said the gaurd.

And like that...Dila found herself plunged into the streets.....


LOOK OUT FOR MY NEXT FICTIONAL POST OF THE CONTINUING SAGA OF SAMSON AND DILA!!!


I have questions for the reader:

1. Was Mimmi's approach to disclosure the best. What would have been the best strategy of disclosure in this case?
2. Was Zakar justified in his actions? Give reasons for your answer!
3. Dila is in the streets right now, if you were to drive into the night and find her and this stage, what would you do?

GREAT DECEPTIONS IN HIV AIDS THOUGHT

Now what is a deception?

A deception is a perversion of the truth, and this deception has its subtle origin in Satan's wiles...originating in the garden of Eden when he told Eve..."You will not surely die..." in direct contradiction of God's word, which he told Adam "but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die.” (Gen 2:17)

In this generation there are subtle deceptions that have even found themselves in the handling of HIV AID'S thought, and I want to discuss a few of these deceptions:

1. THEORIES OF ORIGIN

Actually I believe that this is has become such a deception that it has drawn away even the CHURCH from the truth.

AIDS has been said to originate from a monkey (the so called sooty mangabey located in Central Africa).

Some say HIV was manufactured as part of a biological warfare programme, designed to wipe out large numbers of black and homosexual people.

Many say this was done under the auspices of the US Federal 'Special Cancer Virus Program' (SCVP), possibly with the help of the CIA.

Cut hunter theory states that an African native, received a bloody wound or infected splash while preparing a Chimpanzee carrying a similar virus (i.e., SIV.)

Others say it is not important to know the origin. They give the example of a snake. If there is a poisonous snake in your house; you first get rid of it, you don’t find out where it came from; you will die before you do.


When you look at scripture after scripture in the word, the origin of any plague is sin and the definition of sin is disobedience to Gods law!!!!!

All the plagues of Egypt were as a result of disobedience.

Deut 28: 15 is a warning… “if you do not obey the Lord your God and do not carefully follow all His commands, and decrees I am giving you today all these curses will come upon you and overtake you”

And then Moses proceeds to describe what these curses entail.

Deut 28:20 the Lord will send on you curses confusion and rebuke in everything you put your hand to, until you are destroyed and come to sudden ruin because of the evil you have done in forsaking him”
Deut 21: the Lord will plague you with diseases until he has destroyed you from the land you are entering to possess.
Deut 22: the Lord will strike you with wasting disease, with fever and inflammation
Deut 28:27 the Lord will afflict you with the boils of Egypt and with tumors and festering sores and the itch, from which you cannot be cured

The world talks about fighting HIV AID'S;

Why is it that we are all fighting this battle in the flesh, in each and every one of the texts that I quoted, the bible states clearly for all to see “ the Lord will send, the Lord will, the Lord will…can we fight God?


If the bible states that the Lord sent this disease, then are we not being distracted from the real issues?
If AIDS is a normal disease, then we will never confront the real issue!
If AIDS is a conspiracy we will never confront the real issue!
If AIDS originated from a monkey we will never deal with the real issues!

We will hold meetings, give speeches, support causes, but never confront the real issues.
No wonder that 30 years later there is no cure!!!


2. THE GREAT CONDOM DECEPTION


There are those who use condoms for the right reasons, those who are married and discordant, and those who are married and both are positive and want to prevent re-infection. As far as that is concerned the condom is in use for the right reasons.
However, we must not neglect to proclaim that if the Lord is sought for healing by the discordant and the HI positive couples, he would heal them. No need any more for the condom!!!!!!!!!

There is a theory propounded, that not everyone is a practicing Christian, and therefore we must strive to DISTRIBUTE CONDOMS!?!?

Let’s see this argument in light of God's word.

“Today I am giving you a choice. You can choose life and success or death and disaster.
For I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in his ways, and keep his commands, decrees and laws; then you will live and increase...
But if your heart turns away and you are not obedient…I declare to you that you will certainly be destroyed” (Deut 30:15-17)

So, the question is if you use a condom for the wrong reason, or for “ safety….” But also against Gods ways; are you exempt from the above?
Remember ROMANS 6:23 states that … “the wages of sin is death…” whether you use a condom or not. Sin is sin, it does not change because you have decided to use a condom.


3. CRITICAL DECEPTION “AIDS IS NOT A CURSE; TO SAY IT IS A CURSE IS TO STIGMATIZE THE SUFFERER"


These are the arguments that are consistently used:

“That the gospel is about restoration and not condemnation”
“That Jesus never stated to those who he was healing that they were under a curse."

The language is sanitized.

Please note that whenever language is sanitized these days and the politically correct language is used, sin is made to look more acceptable (MSM, standing for men sleeping with men, CSW’S standing for commercial sex workers, Pro-Choice movement, standing for abortion movement)
Now it’s not right to call the disease a curse; a plague, judgment, rather, a syndrome.

The deception is subtle

Yes Jesus came to restore.
Yes Jesus did not come to condemn and judge.
Yes Jesus did not condemn the woman caught in adultery

But what was the process that brought about the coming of Jesus
Before the appearance of Jesus in Israel there were preparations for his coming.
The preparation


Isa 40:3 a voice of one calling in the desert, “prepare the way for the lord, make straight in the wilderness a highway for our God”
Mal 3:1 “see I will send my messenger who will prepare the way before me. Then suddenly the lord you are seeking will come to his temple: the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire will come” says the Lord Almighty”

The way

John fulfilled these texts in Matthew 3:1ff, mark1:1ff, Luke 3:1ff and john 1:19ff
John came to prepare the way, and Jesus was the way. (John 14:6)

How did he prepare the way?
Repentance was the only preparation that was needed
Repentance
THE WAY TO HEALING:

“When I shut up the heavens, so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people. If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways; then I will hear from heaven forgive their sin and heal their land” (2 Chron 7:13-14)


REPENTANCE

Psalm 107:17 -20

Some became fools through their rebellious ways and suffered because of their iniquity
They loathed all food and drew near to the gates of death.
Then they cried out to the lord in their trouble
And he saved them from their distress
He sent forth his word and healed them; he rescued them from the grave

• Acts 3: 19 “ repent then and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out and times of refreshing may come from the lord


4. STIGMA...THE GREAT DISTRACTION

People have been stigmatized for many things, because they are fat, short, tall, talk funny…
If you KNOW who you are in Christ, all the rest is detail. You may be offended by the stigma, but you need not give that the time of day, because what you are in God is what matters
Stigma is another person’s idea of who you are, and 90% of the time it is wrong, you cannot dwell on what others are saying about you, that is too much spent energy. No man can define you only God can do that; not my status, not my titles, nor my weight nor my background, nor my color nor my past hinders me from being what I should be in God.

Stigma must be fought in the mind first. One must have a revelation of who he is from God, then the world and its prejudices will never matter.
One thing is certain, there will always be those who are prejudiced against you, but your eye must be on God.
Therefore while it is good to sensitize people about stigma, the real issue is dealing with sin

5. INNOCENSE..USED AS A TOOL TO DISTRACT

There are thos who got the virus through no fault of their own. What about them, if God is just, why did they get it?

The innocent wife who was a virgin and had sex for the first time in her marriage bed and trusted her husband who infected her?
The innocent child who was infected in the mothers womb?
The innocent recipients of contaminated blood?
The innocent doctor contaminated while performing an operation?

Firstly; no one is innocent in Gods eyes. No one.(rom 3:23)
Secondly there are several reasons for God afflicting the innocent

To test them (jobs case)
To chasten them (King Manasseh (2 Chron 33:10-13)
To show Gods Glory (John9:1-3)
To keep one from being conceited (Cor 12:7)
To prepare for and fulfill purpose (Jesus and all his disciple)


It is not condoms but confession
It is not found in the wisdom of men but in the ways of God
It is not in evading the real issues, but acknowledging the need for God and has a repentant heart


If we veer too far from the truth, the lie will eat us up, if we veer TOWARDS the truth, we will be saved, healed, delivered....

The choice is yours...

THE TECHNOLOGY OF MANIFESTATION

Jesus manifested himself to man after all the prophets, from Moses to Malachi prophesied His Comming! " And the Word BECAME flesh, and dwelt among men full of grace and truth" And it is written earlier " In the begining was the Word."

It is this BECAME that I want to concentrate on as I reflect on the technology of manifestation

BECAME...this word denotes that a state was altered.(past tense of "become" a verb)

Lets say it this way; Zaccheus was a tax collector and chief of sinners, but an encounter with Jesus caused him to BECOME the righteousness of God . Do you know that Zacchaeus means "pure"?

His circumstance before he met with the Lord was bleak. They say he even feared to touch anyone because if he did, they would have to go take of their cloths and wash them and remain unclean until evening. that was how bad it was.


Now the word was there at the begining. that is what is recorded in John 1:1, but it took many years to manifest. But, he would appear, in shadows and symbols in many places in the old testament. He would appear as the commander of the Host, in the days of Joshua, as a symbol of a rock, in the days of Moses, He refused to mention his name to Manoa and his wife, instead he mentioned that his name was "TOO WONDERFUL FOR THEM" Yet is he not known as WONDERFUL COUNSELLOR. He also appeared to NEBUCCHADNEZZAR as a SON OF THE GODS.. and He actually is the SON OF GOD..he would appear as Melchizedek King of Salem (Jerusalem), without beginning or end, and without genealogy. In theo-speak they are known as "theophonic manifestations of God.

Now lets break this down even further by looking at the two accounts of creation.

Theologians actually say that they are materially different.
In the first account God create's the plants the animals and so on, before man (Gen 1) and in the second account (man is created before the shrubs and so forth)(Gen 2)

Why is this apparent contradiction in scripture.

Now let me make a general statement....SCRIPTURE DOES NOT CONTRADICT ITTSELF

God's word is truth, the integrity of that word will be put to question if it ever contradicts ittself. therefore what exactly is happening in these texts??

In order to fully understand this lets look at Hebrews 11:1-3...read it slooowly

"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.
By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what is visible" (NIV)

LETS GET ANOTHER VERSION...READ IT SLOOWLY

" Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good report. By faith we understand that the ages were framed by a word of God, so that the things being seen not to have come into being out of the things that appear." (MKJV)

God created the heavens and the earth by a word, He framed them by a command, and he used the above technology. It was already created BEFORE IT MANIFESTED.

Do you get it yet???

Lets try this again...

According to the scriptures , Before Jeremiah was born..GOD KNEW HIM AND APPOINTED HIM TO BE A PROHET. What does that mean really. It means that I you, everyone else we were all created by the seventh day, the day God rested, and what now remained was for our MANIFESTATION ON EARTH AT OUR APPOINTED SEASONS.

Listen to me; an architect draws out the plans of a building, yes? it is HIS CREATION, correct? Does it MANIFEST if it is constructed only in his mind? no, he must put it to pen and paper, then hand it over to the craftsmen to build his house, or his mansion.

An interseting scripture is this one

"For he was looking forward to a city with foundations, whose ARCHITECT AND BUILDER IS GOD" Heb 11:10

Now I believe God was the architect, he did the plans, and Jesus was the craftsman.

It is written

" I was there when he set the heavens in place,
when he marked out the horisons on the face of the deep,
when he established the clouds above
and fixed securely the fountains of the deep
when he gave the see its boundary
so that the waters would not overstep his command,
and when he marked out the foundations of the earth.

THEN I WAS THE CRAFTSMAN BY HIS SIDE....(PROV 8:27-30)

Solomon, Speaking under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, saw the creation being built and tapped into the manifestation technology.

I want to argue therefore, that in Genesis 1, that was Gods architectural plans, it is "substance of things not seen' and Gen 2, is MANIFESTATION. The word made flesh, and the technology is found in Hebrews 1:1-3, the faith statement.

Now let us come to mankind.

The bible says it this way;

" The creation waits in eager expectation for the Sons of God to be revealed. For the creation was subjected to frustration , not by its own choice but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation ittself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the Children of God" Rom 8:19-21 (NIV)

Another version renders it this way:

"For the earnest expectation of the creation waits for the manifestation of the sons of God.
For the creation was not willingly subjected to vanity, but because of Him who subjected it on hope
that the creation itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God." (NKJV)


Really what is this telling us; As Sons of God, the creation is WAITING FOR US TO MANIFEST. HOW........FAITH!!!

THIS WORLD IS PERISHING, IT IS DECAYING IT IS IN BONDAGE IT IS IN PAIN WHERE ARE THE SONS OF GOD?????

IT IS FAITH THAT CAUSES MANIFESTATION, IT IS FAITH THAT PULLS REDEMPTION, IT S FAITH THAT BRINGS RESTORATION, LIGHT , HEALING??

WHERE ARE THE SONS OF GOD? THIS IS YOUR TIME. IN THIS SEASON YOU ARE CALLED UPON TO MANIFEST YOURSELVES

BE BLESSED AS YOU MANIFEST IN THIS GENERATION.

FINAL ENTRY ROAD MAP TO HEALING OF HIV AIDS

It is written that " By faith Women recieved back their dead, raised to life again...." Heb 11:35
What cant we do with faith???? I want to propose this to you...NOTHING WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU, and I want to back up that with his word....(Mattew 17:20)... HOW AWESOME IS HE, THE GOD WE SERVE???


Now I finally want to look at the last agent of cleansing..."The anointing Oil"

I want to say at the outset that these agents, water, oil, blood the Word, are not magical elements, they are symbols, and contacts, faith acts, they must never replace the Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Having said that let us look at a very interesting incident in the book of Numbers chapter 12

Aaron and Miriam Opposed Moses, because he had married a Cushite wife. They were saying such things as "why should he be our leader, yet he is married to a foreigner, does not God also speak to us too?"

When the Lord heard this, he was furious and summoned both of them, he clearly stated His position, and in his anger left Miriam leprous.
Now I have a question; Why was Aaron not touched by this leprosy? Yet he was a co-conspirator and sinner in this affair!

I may not have a full answer to this but it seems to me that Aaron wore the following Holy garments
* breast piece
* ephod
* robe
* woven tunic
* turban
* shash (Remember the spiritual Armour in Ephesians 6?)

Then in Exodus 29: 7 the bible states thus:

" Take the anointing oil and anoint Him (Aaron) by pouring it on His head."

So Aaron the High Priest, wore the Holy garments, and was ANOINTED WITH THE ANOINTING OIL.

Now after the anointing of Saul the bible says that ..."As Saul turned to leave Samuel, God changed Sauls heart..." ( 1 Sam 10:9), and Saul prophesied , and so it became a saying in Israel "Is Saul among the prophets? (1 Sam 10:12)

It is interesting that though God rejected Saul as King, he continued to rule Israel for 40 years.
Another interesting fact is that David could not slay Saul, for he said, " Do not destroy him! who can lay a hand on the LORDS ANOINTED and be guiltless? (1 Sam 26:9)

Is it then possible that even the Lord could not strike Aaron with leprosy for he was the Lords anointed?

juxtaposing these scriptures together I can conclusively state that those who have been anointed with oil carry in their mein the SPIRIT OF GOD, and for that reason, unclean spirits, and unclean sicknesses cannot find their way into them, even from the Lord.


That is why it is written:

"is anyone sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him AND ANOINT HIM WITH OIL in the Name of Jesus. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well" (James 5:14-15)



Now, the oil is a symbol, however I believe that it represents the Spirit of God, which cannot exist where there are unclean spirits, or unclean sicknesses, and that is why, those who are anointed with oil, in faith normally recieve their healing.

Remember that it is written.


" Always be clothed in white and ALWAYS ANOINT YOUR HEAD WITH OIL" (ecclesiastes 9:8)

This is an interesting one, I believe it points forward to the scripture in the NT that states " Always be filled with the Spirit" (Eph 5:18)

THEREFORE USE THE OIL AND PRAY THIS WAY.... DEAR LORD, I USE THIS OIL AS A CONTACT AND SYMBOL, BY FAITH BELIEVING IN YOUR WORD, I APPLY IT AND SEEK YOUR HEALING POWER! CLEANSE ME AND HEAL ME BY YOUR SPIRIT FROM ALL VIRUSES, BACTERIA, IMMUNE DEFICIENCIES, OPPORTUNISTIC ILLNESSES AND SICKNESSES IN JESUS NAME AMEN.

4 ROAD MAP TO HEALING

Do you know what Lazarus means in Greek? It means "whom God helps" God helped Lazarus when no one else on earth could, and where all science, medicine, skill, art, talent, wisdom, and knowledge couldn't GOD did the impossible....is there anything too hard for God?

Today we examine another cleansing agent..THE WORD

In order to lay a basis of this agent of cleansing we must see it in the proper light:

It is written...

" As the rain and the snow
come down from heaven,
and do not return to it
without watering the earth
and making it BUD AND FLOURISH,
so that it yields seed for the sower
and bread for the eater,
So does MY WORD THAT GOES OUT FROM MY MOUTH
It will not TURN TO ME EMPTY,
BUT WILL ACCOMPLISH WHAT I DESIRE
AND ACHIEVE THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH I SENT IT"
(Isaiah 55:10-11)


Now the entire counsel of God, the Word of God is sent, (We concider it every sunday, meditate on it, believe it are encouraged, rebuked, taught, and corrected by it), and is capable for addressing any situation that afflicts us, If it is wisdom we need, insight and understanding, revelations, warnings, the TOTAL COUNSEL OF GOD has been made available to us.

The Word is SENT so we understand that IT DOES NOT RETURN until the work that it must do is done.

Now that word is activated by hearing(reading)it spoken for it is written..."Faith comes by hearing and the message is heard through the WORD OF CHRIST" (Rom 10:17)

Now this is what I believe; that once you latch onto the WORD that addressess your unique situation, you must speak it out (life and death is in the power of the tongue (Proverbs 18:21)) breath it, proclaim it declare it, imagine it, meditate on it until you become it. (And the Word became flesh and DWELT among men)(John 1:14)
let the word germinate in your inmost being until you know that you know that you know that it will come to pass.


So let us examine this in light of HIV AID'S the "leprosy" of the 21st Century;

1. ATTITUDE WE MUST DEVELOPE TO THE WORD

It is written...

"For the word of the LORD is right and true;
HE is FAITHFUL in all HE does." (Psalms 33:4)

We must concider the word to be tha ABSOLUTE TRUTH... not maybe, or perhaps, or not for me, all this is concidered under one word..."DOUBT"

JESUS concidered doubt to be perverse for he said

" Oh UNBELIEVING AND PERVERSE generation...How long shall I put up with you?..." (Luke 9:41)

We must therefore BELIEVE HIS WORD

2. WE MUST CLAIM THAT WORD.

For all those with HIV AIDS, look at the following scripture:

A man with Leprosy came to HIM and begged HIM on his knees,
"If you are willing you can make me clean."
Filled with compassion, JESUS reached out HIS hand and touched the man. "
I am willing," He said. "Be clean!"
IMMEDIATELY the Leprosy left Him and he was cured!!!!
(Mark 1:40-42)

This is how to claim this Word in prayer

DEAR LORD, I HAVE HIV AIDS VIRUS, AND 2000 YEARS AGO, SOMEONE IN A SIMILAR SITUATION AS I CRIED OUT TO YOU THAT IF YOU ARE WILLING YOU CAN MAKE ME CLEAN...I MAKE THE SAME PRAYER...IF YOU ARE WILLING YOU CAN MAKE ME CLEAN. I KNOW THAT YOU ARE FILLED WITH COMPASSION FOR ME, AND I KNOW THAT RIGHT NOW YOU ARE REACHING OUT YOUR HAND TO TOUCH ME, AND ARE NOW SAYING AS YOU SAID 2000 YEARS AGO..."I AM WILLING" "BE CLEAN" I THEREFORE RECIEVE THE HEALING, FOR 2000 YEARS AGO THE LEPROSY LEFT IMMEDIATELY, I BELIEVE THAT THE HUMAN IMMUNO VIRUSES HAVE LEFT ME IMMEDIATELY AND I AM CURED. I THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOR HEALING ME IN JESUS NAME AMEN!!!

Now you need to pray this meditate on it claim it as I said. Jesus said in his Word, Ask and you shall recieve, seek and you shall find, knock and the door shall be opened for you, for everyone who asks recieves ; he who seeks finds and he who knocks, the door will be opened.(Matthew 7:7-8)


3. WE MUST DECLARE THAT WORD.


It is written;

" ...I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed you can say to this mountain, "move from here to there" and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you." (Matthew 17:20)

Now this is how you pray over this HIV AIDS syndrome

DEAR LORD, I HAVE FAITH, I FAVE FAITH IN YOUR WORD, AND I SAY TO THE HIV AIDS VIRUSES IN MY BODY...MOVE OUT OF MY BODY NOW!! AND GO INTO THE AIR (OR WHEREVER YOU WANT TO SEND IT) IN JESUS NAME AMEN...

say this prayer out loud, fervently passionatly, obstinately, say it at midnight at midday, all the time, decaring it, do not relent until your healing comes....


Now remember that " without faith it is IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE GOD, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he REWARDS those who EARNESTLY seek HIM" (Heb 11:6)

4. YOUR FINAL CONDITION BEFORE THE MANIFESTATION

God said to Jeremiah..

.
"Before you were born I knew you
Before you were born I set you apart;
I appointed you as a prophet to the nations..." Jer 1:5

Now Jeremiah, before this encounter with God, did not know that he was a prophet, but he was, similarly, we do not know that we are healed before the healing manifests, but we are already healed. God says that " He has given us every thing we need for life and godliness...." 2 Peter 1:3

God spoke to Gideon and said.."The Lord is with you mighty warrior" that He said while Gideon was busy hiding from the enemies of Israel.(He was a mighty warrior before that manifested in his life)
Gos spoke to the whole came of Israel and said that " I have given you the land of the Caananites Perrizites, Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Hivites and Jebusites" seven nations greater and stronger than you..." He said this before it actually happened.

In otherwords, the work in heaven was already DONE, what remained was the obedience on earth. Acting out aggressively that which has been proclaimed for you.

It is written:

"You have already been clean because fo the word spoken to you." John 15:3

This is your condition in heaven, before the manifestation...that is you are already cleansed. therefore this Must be your prayer:

DEAR LORD, YOU HAVE DECLARED IN YOUR WORD THAT I AM ALREADY CLEAN BECAUSE OF THE WORD YOU HAVE SPOKEN TO ME, THEREFORE, LET YOUR WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN, LET MY BODY BE FULLY CLEANSED FROM ALL LEPROSY, ALL VIRUSES, ALL SICKNESSES, ACCORDING TO YOUR WORD IN JESUS NAME AMEN

CAPTAIN SAMUEL GITARI ALIAS GADAR

3 CONTINUED :ROADMAP TO THE HEALING OF HIV AIDS

Lazarus could not be contained by death because He was a friend of JESUS!!!!!

Now today we will look at another cleansing agent….BLOOD.

In the Old Testament blood was used to cleanse the altar, the garments, and everything else in the tent of meeting; and it was used as atonement for sin.

In Hebrews the writer connects the old order and the new order in chapter 9
This is what the blood is used for:

1. TO CLEANSE OUR CONSCIENCES

“How much more then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, CLEANSE OUR CONSCIENCES from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God!” Heb 9:14

Evil thoughts make us unclean, the performance of those evil deeds makes us unclean, and there is a clear progression of this seen in James 1:14

The first is the temptation. And a large percentage of the time, the tempter is Satan. Our own evil desires constitute another part of the temptation. It is best at this stage to nip it in the bud, before it progresses further.

Second progression is enticement. Just like Joseph and Potiphers wife. Joseph was LURED, ENTICED, day and night by her.(But he prevailed, and my desire is that we all prevail)

The third progression is conception, here the mind at war, has made a decision to act out the deed.

The fourth progression is sin; here the act has been consummated. The deed done!

The fifth progression is death. For it is written that the wages of sin is death. (Rom 6:23)

Here the conscience pricks us, we know that we have sinned, and that we have violated God’s Holy laws, because in most cases, when the deed is done there are surprising reactions to them:

1. We hide, just like Adam hid from God (Gen 3:10)
2. We blame others (otherwise known as passing the buck), Just as Adam blamed his wife, and Eve blamed the serpent.(Gen 3:12-13)
3. We hate the object that we used to commit the act, just as Amnon, who had an incestuous relationship with his sister Tamar, and after it he hated her furiously...(2 Sam 13:15)
4. We regret it, just as David did in the affair with Bathsheba, the wife of Uriah the Hittite.
5. We try to kill our conscience, and try to blame those who cause us to feel condemned (Jesus crucifixion was just because of that; the Pharisees were furious with HIM because of the truth HE unveiled about them).

Now basically living with a guilty conscience is no living at all. It is a life that is full of stress, pain, anguish, suicidal thoughts….A child of God visited my office and explained to me that she felt so bad because she had slept with a man; she actually hated him, and never went back to him at all. The pain was so visible in her face, but I commiserated and counseled with her and she is now happy and on her way to a blessed marriage.

Therefore when we invoke the blood of Jesus, he CLEANSES our conscience, so that we are no longer guilty, or walking in guilt, or living in guilt AT ALL. It was finished at the cross.

2. TO PURIFY US

But if we walk in the light, as HE is the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son, PURIFIES us from all sin. (1John 1:7)

The Greek word for purifies is “Katharizo” from which we derive the English word, catharsis, which has a definition or connotation of PURGING!!

Imagine that you have polluted blood, and it is doing severe damage to the other bodily organs. You will need a blood transfusion. The blood you receive restores you to health. I believe it is the same with the blood of Jesus. Our sin nature causes our blood to become sick, unwell so to speak (wages of sin), so what does the blood of Jesus do? It Purges the polluted blood completely from our system (sin, stained blood), and we are HEALED!!!

3. WE ARE REDEEMED

“For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver and gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life that was handed down to you from your forefathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.” (1 Peter 1: 18-19)

The Greek word for redeemed is “lutroo” which means the following:
• To cause to be liberated
• To fully pay the ransom
• To deliver from any kinds of evil both internal and external


So that is what the blood of JESUS did, and therefore for all of you who are HIV +VE, PRAY THIS PRAYER:

DEAR LORD JESUS, FORGIVE ME FROM ESCAPING AND RUNNING AWAY FROM MY RESPONSIBILITY, AND HIDING FROM YOU AND BLAMING OTHERS FOR MY SINS! CLEANSE MY CONSCIENCE FROM ALL THE ACTS THAT LEAD TO DEATH THAT I HAVE DONE (MENTION THEM HERE…….) BY YOUR PRECIOUS BLOOD.
PURIFY ME AND PURGE MY POLLUTED BLOOD WITH YOUR PRECIOUS BLOOD
AND REDEEM ME, DELIVER ME AND LIBERATE ME FROM THE CONSEQUENCES OF MY SINS AND MY ANCESTORS SINS THAT HAVE CONTINUED TO AFFECT MY BLOOD LINE BY YOUR PRECIOUS BLOOD IN JESUS NAME …AMEN

MAY YOU RECIEVE YOUR HEALING IN JESUS NAME

CONTINUED ..ROAD MAP TO HIV AIDS HEALING

And Lazarus took of his grave clothes and walked out of the grave....whole!!!


We now want to take a deeper look at the cleansing agents in scripture and see how to maximize their use.

TODAY WE WILL LOOK AT WATER.

first of all we must establish what was concidered unclean. and uncleanliness has three levels

1. THE PHYSICAL SICKNESS

it is written:

" But If (a person) has a reddish white sore on his fore-head, it is an infection skin disease. the man is diseased and IS UNCLEAN....The person with such an infectious disease must wear torn clothers, let his hair be unkempt, cover the lower part of his face and cry out, "unclean! Unclean!". AS LONG AS HE HAS THE INFECTIOUS DISEASE HE REMAINS UNCLEAN.He must live alone he must live outside the camp" (Leviticus 13:42-44)

therefore we can say that all airborne diseases are unclean diseases, and all transmittable diseases are INFECTIOUS and are therefore unclean.

2. WHAT WE THINK CAUSES UNCLEANLINESS

It is written :

"But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these make a man "unclean". For out of the heart come evil thoughts , murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander.
These are what make a man "unclean"..." (Matthew 15:18-19)

therefore we must always gaurd our hearts, for it as it is written ..." As a man thinketh in his heart ...so he is..." (proverbs 23:7)

3. UNCLEAN SPIRITS POSSESSING US

Generally unclean spirits find entry into us because we have areas in our lives that are not submitted to GOD. Satan uses them as entry points, and they sometimes can hide very well in a person who may be born again, but is not sensitive to the leading and promptings from the Lord.

anccording to the levitical laws for the priests the LORD commanded Israel not to do the following

"Do not go after those who make use of spirits, or wonder-workers; do not go in their ways or become unclean through them: I am the Lord your God." (Lev 19:31) BBE
"Do not go to mediums or wizards for advice--they will only make you unclean. I am the LORD your God." (Lev 19:31)ERV

These two renditions of the same verse warn us that consorting with diviners, necromancers, wizards, witches, and mediums will only make us unclean. and many in our cultures are doing that. these verses also warn us that going this direction will cause us to be possessed by unclean spirits...they are unclean because they are sin itsself and defile the body which is God's temple.

These are the things that generally make us defiled, possessed and unclean... what we want to do now is see the REMEDY for this . is there a remedy in scripture that can give us answers to uncleanliness? let as take a keener look at the cleansing agents that I revealed in my previous blog titled " road map to divine healing!"


1. WATER


In the book of Numbers there is a whole chapter that discusses the "water of cleansing" an unclean person was supposed to be ritually cleansed by the water of cleansing, and the person would be accepted back in the camp after the priest has confirmed that he is no longer unclean.

It is written
" whoever touches the dead body of anyone will be unclean for seven days. He must PURIFY himself with the water on the third and seventh day; then he will be CLEAN. whoever touches the dead body of anyone and fails to purify himself defiles the LORD'S tabernacle. That person must be cut of from Israel. Because the water of cleansing has not been sprinkled on him, he is unclean; his uncleanness remains on him (Num 19:11-13)

Now as we know dead bodies can carry airborne diseases if not handled well, and this ritual was important for the health of the Israel community, but this ritual also points to another... not neccesarily a ritual but an act of faith that brings actual cleansing from leprosy!!

In 2 kings 5 Naaman was commanded by Elisha to go and wash himself in the Jordan 7 times and he would be healed of his leprosy

In Ezekiel 36: 25 the bible says:

" I will sprinkle clean water on you , and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your IMPURITIES and from your IDOLS.

Let us pose here abit and look at the following things
Impurities. The Hebrew word for impurities is “tumah” and has the following meanings,
• sexual impurity,
• ethical and religious impurity,
• ritual impurities (there are certain rituals that can cause one to be defiled)
• Nations (Israel was not to mingle with the nations around it because they worshipped idols).

So to us this would mean any impurity brought about to us by sex, such as, Chlamydia, syphilis, genital warts, gonorrhea, and HIV AID’S , ungodly rituals, and mingling with pagan worshippers would require us to have faith in God, to cleanse us, as he has promised in the above text.(Ez 36:25)

Then there are the Idols; now a working definition of idolatry is putting anything in the place of God. And that includes addictions of various kinds. Such as:
• sexual addiction
• pornography
• bestiality
• homo sexuality
• lesbianism
• adultery
• fornication
• and any other perversion not acceptable by God’s standards

Any addiction is idolatry. Any diversion from the worship of GOD ALMIGHTY is idolatry, and he promises in the above text to sprinkle clean water on us and cleanse us from our impurities and our idols!!

Now if we look at Ezekiel 47, we see water comming from the temple of God, this water makes salt water fresh, swarms of living creatures live whereever the water flows, and the trees that grow around that water will serve for food and HEALING...(ref Ez 47:1-12)

Jesus says in John 4:14,

" But whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up into eternal life"

When the Samaritan woman asked for that water, Jesus immediately told her what her problem was...'sexual immorality", She was drinking the water of TRUTH that sets FREE.

THEREFORE SO AS TO ACCESS THIS WATER THIS IS HOW WE SHOULD PRAY..." DEAR LORD, I HAVE IMPURITIES AND DISEASES (MENTION THE DISEASE) AND THE FOLLOWING ADDICTIONS IN ME........(MENTION THE ADDICTIONS), SATAN TORMENTS ME, AND I CANNOT STOP.......(MENTION WHAT IS BINDING YOU) BECAUSE I AM ADDICTED. I ASK YOU TO CLEANSE ME AND PURIFY ME WITH THE WATER OF CLEANSING AND BREAK THE CHAINS OF ADDICTION TO .....(MENTION IT)SO THAT I MAY BE FREED, HEALED AND ALSO BE ACCEPTABLE IN YOUR SIGHT. IN JESUS NAME AMEN.

In would be good to take some water from anywhere (tap water) and pray over it. Ask God to use it as a symbol of the water of cleansing enummerated in the scriptures above, and to cleanse you from any LEPROSY, DEMONIC ACTIVITY, AND EVIL THOUGHT PATTERNS, above and to set you free to serve HIM fully.

THE ROAD MAP TO THE HEALING OF HIV AIDS

1. DO A HISTORICAL BACKGROUND CHECK...
A MEDICAL DOCTOR DOES A MEDICAL HISTORY

in this area one looks at their lifestyle, the lifestyle of their parents grandparents, and great grandparents (ex 20:5....."I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sins of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me."

then one needs to seek God for the reason for the disease in the household that it has rested in.

One must do a spiritual history....
you may have already been medically diagnosed to be HIV POSITIVE... so now is to do the spiritual diagnosis...

Based on scripures that inquire into consequesnces we look at the consequence angles of DISOBEDIENCE TO GOD'S WORD AND LOOK OUT FOR THEREFORE'S IN SCRIPTURE; ONE EXAMPLE

" However if you do not obey the voice of the Lord your God and do not carefully follow all his commands and decrees that I am giving you today,(THEREFORE) all these curses will come upon you and OVERTAKE YOU..."

In that chapter you will find all the symptoms of full blown HIV AID'S

* Wasting disease deut 28:21
* Fever 28:21
* Inflamations 28:21
* boils 28:27
* festering sores 28:27
* itching 28:27
* knees and legs will have painful boils 28:35
* you will become a thing of horror and an object of scorn and ridicule 28:37 . (this is stigma.)
* fearful plagues 28:59
* severe and lingering illnesses 28:59
* incurable sicknesses 28:27

These seem to be acurate diagnosis of HIV AID'S . and basically the diagnosis is the consequenses of sin!

2. ROOT CAUSE

what is the root cause? in scripture what happens when there is sexual immorality ?
read numbers 25 :1-9

In part it says :

When Israel was staying in shittim, the men began to indulge in sexual immorality with Moabite women.....
vv9 But those who died in the plague numbered 24000. (as a result of this immorality)

Also read Jeremiah 5:7-11, and proverbs 6:6-23... and many other verses that show that sexual immorality has real consequences.

3 BIBLICAL CURE...


WHAT ARE THE STEPS TO TAKE?

a) accept amd agree with God that you sinned and did what is wrong...(confess) Psalms 51

b) turn away from that sin renouncing it in totality (repent) 2 Chron 7:14

c) seek God for the cleansing agents. there are 5 cleansing agents found in scripture
i) water. (naaman was cleansed by bathing in the Jordan river 7 times)(read 2kings 5 & Eze 36:25
ii) Blood. heb 9:14,22
iii) The word John 15:3, and 17:17
iv) oil Isaiah 1:6
v) Hyssop Psalms 51:7

The reason for seeking these cleansing agents (by faith) is because HIV AID'S is an unclean disease, it is leprosy, and all lepers were concidered to be unclean in scripture.


4. DELIVERANCE FROM ALL SATANIC SPIRITS

Expel all satanic drivers of the syndrome through tha Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. You may ask for anything in my name and I WILL DO IT (John 14:14)


AND HAVING FOLLOWED THIS PROCESS BY PRAYER AND FASTING AND FAITH, YOU WILL SURELY BE HEALED

IF YOU ARE HEALED PLEASE SEND TESTIMONIES SO THAT OTHERS ARE ENCOURAGED

CAPTAIN SAMUEL GITARI ALIAS GADAR PERETZ

THE RIGHT HAND OF LAZARUS

Lazarus was arisen from the dead....


I want us to look at a very interesting text of scripture....
Isaiah 28:14-19, and then Isaiah 30:12-15

therefore hear the word of the Lord you scoffers who rule this people in Jerusalem.
You boast, "we have entered into a covenant with death,
with the grave we have made an agreement..
when an overwhelming scourge sweeps by, it cannot touch us, for we have made a lie our refuge and falsehood our hiding place IS 28:14-15

HIV AIDS when it came to our lives we never looked to God , to seek his face and ask why this scourge has come in our midst...we developed lies....

It is a normal sickness, just like a common cold,
We do not need to repent due to it

yet, this is a disease that is largely associated with sexual immorality, whichever way you look at it.

But there is always the argument, what of the innocent child who caught it from his parents, or the one who had a blood transfusion with infected blood, or the faithful spouse?

but then, when there is a general catastrophy, does it not overwhelm the guilty and innocent alike? remember the sin of Achan, (Josh 7:1ff) 36 innocent people died!!

Then we relied on DOCTORS...they will come up with a cure, there are already ARV'S

The doctors have replaced the wisdom of God....30 years down the line and still no cure

for we have made a lie our refuge and a falsehood our hiding place.....

We have also put our trust in trust condoms, trusting that they will save us from the overwhelming scourge....

sexual sin is sin, and whether you use the condom or not, the wages of sin IS DEATH (Rom 6:23)

But we have made the lie our refuge and a falsehood our hiding place.


So this is what the Sovereign Lord says:

"see, I lay a stone in zion,
a tested stone,
a precious corner stone for a sure foundation;
the one who trusts will never be dismayed
I will make justice the measuring line
and righteousness the plumb line;
hail will sweep away your refuge the lie,
and water will overflow your hiding plac.
your covenant with death will be annulled:
your agreement with the grave will not stand.
when the overwhelming scourge sweeps by, you will be beaten down by it.
As often as it comes it will carry you away;
morning afeter morning , by day and by night,
It will sweep through Isaiah 28:16-19

that cornersone is the LORD JESUS CHRIST...
and he is also known as the way the TRUTH and the life...
He is the sure foundation

Now the bible says that Hail will sweep away your refuge ..the lie.

those that have relied on the secular lies, that they need to manage the disease, that they need to seek a cure and continue in sodom and gommorrah lifestyle, a severe warning awaits them...

that they will be swept away by that scourge, the HIV AIDS syndrome will attack them, and embarrass them until they admit to the TRUTH, and the TRUTH will come with justice and righteousness to judge!

And the covenant with and agreements made with death will be annulled by the TRUTH.

Therefore this is what the HOLY ONE of Israel says:

" Because you have rejected this message,
relied on oppresion
and depended on deciet,
this sin will become for you
like a high wall, cracked and bulging,
that collapses suddenly, in an instant.
It will break in pieces like pottery,
shattered so mercilessly
that among its pieces not a fragment will be found for taking coals from a hearth
or scooping water out of a cistern


In otherwords, the sin will be the undoing of the lie.....
the scourge, will be too much
causing you to collapse
for its advance is merciless

what then is the remedy?

This is what the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One of Israel says;

" in repentance and rest is your salvation
in quietness and trust is your strength

again God is turning us TO REPENTANCE. It is almost as though HE is WAITING for mankind to admit...that his way cannot work, that he has sinned, and he NEEDS GOD.

SO THE CHOICE IS OURS,....TO CONTINUE WITHOUT A CURE FOR ANOTHER 30YEARS
OR TO SEEK REPENTANCE FOR OUR SEXUAL IMMORALITY, PRIDE AND ARROGANCE AND TO ASK GOD TO HEAL US FROM THIS SCOURGE

THIS IS THE ONLY REMEDY


GADAR PERETZ

THE LEFT HAND OF LAZARUS

Lazarus had an incurable desease....
It led to his death....


the word of the LORD that came to Joel the prophet was succint

in chapter 1 versus 1-4
Joel talks about an invasion... an invasion in the land
an invasion of locust...a plague

Just as there has been an invasion....an invasion of viruses
the HIV AIDS viruses....a plague

versus 5 talks thus

" wake up you drunkards..."
many times it is drunkards, who due to their loose behaviour occassioned by making decisions under the influence of strong drink realize they are invaded....

versus 6-7 speak of the nature and impact of the invasion.....
* the invader has teeth of a lion
* the invader has fangs of a lioness
* the invader has LAID WASTE their vines
* the invader has RUINED their fig trees
* the invader has STRIPPED of their bark

AND just like the HIV virus ...it has the same characteristics

teeth of a lion
fangs of a lioness
laid waste/ruined/stripped, the functional immune system

and verus 8-12 speaks of grief

*Mourn like a virgin in sackcloth grieving for the husband of her youth.
*Despair you farmers
*wail you vine growers
*grieve for the wheat and barley
*surely thejoy of mankind is withered away

The farmers and vine growers grieve because their crop has been invaded by a plague

The victime of the HIV virus grieves because his body has been invaded by a plague

verses 13-14 calls for repentance

in sackcloth
in mourning
in in crying out to God for mercy
and in fasting....


in Chapter 2 vv 6-11 further describes the nature of the virus

*it is a large and mighty army
*before them is a land like the garden of eden,
*behind them is a desert waste-
*nothing escapes them.
*they plunge through defences without breaking rank
*they rush upon the city, they run along the wall
*they climb into the houses; like thieves they enter through the windows.
*the LORD thunders at the head of his army;
*HIS forces are beyond number!!!!!!!!!!


these are the characteristics of the HIV AIDS virus, and just like the locust they are unstoppable....and the reason for this plague is sin!!!!!!!!!!

chapter 2:12-17 talks of repentance

* "Return to ME says the LORD;
* "With fasting weeping and mourning;
* "rend your hearts" Says the LORD
* " Return to the LORD your GOD

AND THE FINAL VERSES TALK OF RESTORATION...HALLEHLUHYA!!!!!

* I will drive the north army (of viruses) far from you...
* Pushing it into parched and barren land...
* Surely he has done great things
* Be glad O people of Zion
* Rejoice in the LORD your GOD
* for he has given you the autumn rains in righteousness

HE SAYS

* I WILL RESTORE THE YEARS THE (HIV VIRUS ) HAS EATEN...
* THE GREAT (VIRUS), THE YOUNG (VIRUS) AND OTHER (STRAINS OF THE VIRUS)

MY GREAT ARMY THAT I SENT AMONG YOU

all this speaking of healing...the promise is fulfilled
