ID2020 Alliance: Are we Close to a Cashless Society?

God never ceases to amaze me, up until about a week ago I'd never heard of ID2020. This made me think " how many other people have never heard of this?" This is very important for the believer to know and I'll tell you why shortly. The way God works with me is by leading me to topics to research. Then he unravels it for me with scripture to show me it's importance. What is ID2020 you ask? ID2020 is SDG 16.9 of the SDG30 goals. SDG (Substainable Development Goals) goals were decided by the United Nations member states. In 2015 at a Summit it was a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and secure that all people will enjoy peace and prosperity by 2030. Don't let the language fool you. It sounds good, but I'll do a blog about that at a later time. ID2020 is digital global identification. The process is to put a chip in your hand through a vaccine/needle. The chip is so small it can be inserted through hyperdermic needles. This can be used for cash, identity and even locking and unlocking doors.

Why Language is Important 

I'm a 5th grade teacher and I always tell my students "Pay attention to the Language used, what are they saying?" I'm going to tell you the: Who, When, Why, What, Where and How. Then after, you make your decision if it is important for believers to be aware of this.

Who are the key players in this initiative? Dakota Gruener of Gavi: The Vaccine Alliance, is the executive director of ID2020. The Rockefellow Foundation provided seed money in 2017 to get it started is an ongoing supporter. Microsoft (Bill Gates) joined in 2018 as a founding partner and it's members sit on the board as technical and program delivery advisory committee. Accenture joined in 2017 as a founding partner and participates on the executive board and Technical Advisory Committee. IDEO who is an international consulting firm that designs products, services and experiences to improve poor people lives. They are the Program Delivery and ecosystem Advocacy Advisory Committee.  I know this is the boring part lol, but just hang in there. The Bible says in Hosea 4:6a My people are destroyed for the lack of knowledge, because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee. When God says knowledge his Word always comes first, then he also instructs us to be watchful, which is where this boring information comes in :)

Why are they doing this? This is their reasoning for the public. To give legal idenity to all, there are 1.5 billion who don't have legal identification (they say). This means those 1.5 billion can't get a bank account which is social exclusion. They care about everyone so much that they must come up with a way for everyone to be included. Digital Idenity will leave no one behind. First of all if they don't have money for identification, where are they going to get money to open up a bank account or buy a new car? This doesn't add up. The Truth is the United Nations wants to have eyes on everyone in the world to make sure people comply with their global goals. It's similar to inserting animals with digital identification to keep tabs on them. This will enable them to look you up at anytime in the system. 

When are they doing this? Their goal was to know that they had proof of scale by 2020 with help of the top people I named above. There are other partners, but those are the top people. According to Gruener of Gavi "paper based services are not working anymore"... "we need digital idenity thats portable and persistent." Their goal is to have legal digital idenity for all ages (everyone on the planet) by 2030. All ages means that your children will have a digital ID possibly at birth. Gruener words in an interview "it's not an if, it's when" which means it's coming for sure and is already being used in some places. My question: Are you prepared?  Revelation 13:16-17 says
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. I don't know if it the mark of the beast, but I know the one who knows all things, God. We will definitely need his wisdom, guidance, and leadership through what's coming down the pipeline. 

As you can see with the pictures above, the plan is to leave no stone unturned. Every facet of life according to the United Nations by 2030 will be one unified global system. Let me give you an idea of what we're facing. One goal is "Gender Equality" where all genders have to be accepted, identified the way they desire, treated fairly, and have a life of sexual freedom. According to ABC News there are 58 gender options that Facebook has for it's users. Wait! I thought it was only two: Male and Female. First let me say their sexual freedom is their business. I don't condemn them, I pray that their souls are saved. I love all people. I don't see their sin greater or less than anyone else. Nevertheless, identifying them any other way then what they are isn't an option for a believer. Genesis 1:27 says:  

27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.  A believer must speak the word of God and not the world. I'll give you another example: Another goal is to promote peaceful inclusive societies. This may sound good also but as you dig into it you will see why it's not good for the believer. Inclusive society means all religions will have to be inclusive and peaceful. That's fine for religion, but being a disciple of Christ isn't a religion which is merely a belief system. Jesus is the truth, he has no beginning and ending of days. Everything was created through him. Without him nothing was made. God is the source of all things and we follow our father who created us. Therefore we can't be inclusive. God so loved the world that he sent his son to die so they/ we could have an option to choose righteousness over sin. This means we can't conform to the world and it's systems if it's contrary to the word of God. The Bible says: John 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. 1John 5:20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. This is just two examples out of many as to why we can't serve this Global system of SDG30. Now back to the digital idenity. According to Carl Sanders who helped create this microchip, it works best placed in the right hand or beneath the hairline in the forehead. Does that sound familiar? It was highlighted above.

In Swedan this is already happening. Thousands of Swedan people are trading ID cards for microchips according to World Economic Forum website. Swedan is also close to being a cashless society. Why is this important to you? Because it will soon be here and we will have to make a decision. Because we didn't obey the Bible when God said be watchful and pray, so many things have been done in the dark without our knowing. Now it's at our door step knocking. Will you answer and invite it in? This is one of many things that we will have to face as believers and stay rooted in Jesus. The time of being comfortable in the grey area is over. Now you will either be hot or cold. God doesn't deal with the lukewarm, in fact he spews them from his mouth.  

 We must wake out of our slumber. Reading the Word of God is what lets us know what is good and evil. Being filled with the Holy Spirit is how we are led, taught and warned, etc. Praying is how we communicate and hear from God. Fasting is how we put our flesh under subjection to the spirit of God. God is calling for repentance from his people. We can no longer just stand on the sidelines watching lost souls and doing nothing about it. We are held responsible. We know better, but what about the people in the world that are waiting for you and me so that they can choose Jesus. It is time to open our mouths and speak the truth, the bitter with the sweet. The sweet can get you through some things but the bitter is what will help believers stand through what's coming.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-eUjfDUWCE&t=566s

The Kingdom of Darkness: We Must Protect our Children

I ask you for a moment to take a look at these children. Their beautiful smiles are radiant. Look at the purity and joy that illuminates from them. Now, imagine them being taken advantage of to do unconceivable things. Imagine those smiles are now frowns filled with darkness and void. Their hearts have been turned to stone. These precious children have been made agents for the kingdom of darkness. {disclaimer]I prayed as I typed this that none of those things had happened to these childern. In the Bible, Jesus shows a deep sincere love for children. He had a protective nature when it came to the little ones. Matthew 18:6-7 says: 6 “But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea. We see in this scripture that if anyone causes a child to sin they will truly pay for defiling the pure nature of the innocent. In another scripture we see that Jesus understands the power in being like a child. We sometimes overlook children but there is much we can learn from them. In Matthew 18:2-5 Jesus shows us this: 2 Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them, 3 and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 5 Whoever receives one little child like this in My name receives Me. 

The Nature of Children

Jesus said that Children are humble. I looked up the word humble, the synonyms for humble are: meek, respectful, submissive, unassertive, resistless and unpresuming. This tells me that children will submit to their leaders. Children will not assert their will over yours. They don't resist what you are teaching them. I'm also a fifth grade teacher so I see these traits with children everyday. They believe what you tell them for the most part. They may ask why to get more clarity, but will submit. This is how we must be to enter the kingdom of Heaven. We should not try to assert our Will over God's Will for our life. We are to submit to God by repenting and turning from anything that is unlike him. We do not resist God but surrender our Will to him. 

The Kindom of Darkness Desires to Recruit Our Children

Satan and his agents are working nonstop. He too knows the humble nature of children and how easy it is to trap and turn them. He has demons in every part of this world promoting wickedness through lies and deciet. I recently watched two videos of young ladies who were in Satanism and are now followers of Jesus Christ! Hallelujah! I thank God for their deliverance. I also thank God for their testimonies. The Bible says that we will overcome the devil by the blood of the lamb and the word of our testimonies. Through these young ladies sharing what they experienced in the kingdom of darkness I now have a better understanding of satans plan. I found out that his goal is to recruit young people. Both of these ladies were recruited in their teen years. They explained how they target young people. In one case there was a man that would stand outside the school to talk to young girls and recruit them. Clothes, music, false prophets, movies, social media, etc. are use to snare our children to forfeit their soul. These ladies were made to kill people, do human sacrifices, sexual immorality and more. Many of our missing children are taken for this purpose according to these ladies. They are stripped of all innocense and made to be killing and sex machines void of feelings. This breaks my heart as I type these words knowing we have some fault in this. Nevertheless, my hope comes from knowing that there is a way of escape for matter. God does not leave us ignorant. He makes a show of the enemy by bringing his tactics to the forefront. Now it is our time to act. 

Defense Strategy

The Bible says: Train up a child in the way that they should go and when they are old they will not depart from it. Many Christians are failing at this for a few reasons. First, we are taking our children to Church and leaving it up to them to train our children. The church is the village that helps, but they are not to do the parent's job. As parents we have to practice what we preach. In Deuteronomy God instructed parents to put Him first in all they did and teach their children to do the same. We are to follow God's word in action and not just words and teach our children to do the same. Many of us are merely church goers with no action behind it which in turn teaches our children nothing about the foundation of our faith. Therefore our first defense strategy is to lead by example. God should be taught at home along with prayer.  Our children should know who Jesus is because at his name everything will bow. Secondly, we are allowing our children to hear and see wicked things created to snare them. Our eyes and ears are open doors to our soul. When we as parents listen to sexual immoral music, Watch sexual immoral videos and movies, curse and use God's name in vain and any other act that involves sin, we open our children up for possession. Therefore our second line of defense is to first make a conscious decision to eliminate those things from your life. Remember we must lead by example. Children do what we do not what we say. We must show our children how to live a Godly life and why it's important. You and your child may learn the reasons together and there is nothing wrong with that. In fact that is beautiful to learn the fullness of God along with your child. Third, pray without ceasing, which means pray all throughout the day. We must cover our children in prayer. This will keep them protected by angels sent by God.  We must take this walk more seriously if we want to save our children. There are children being left open with no defenses because we are not praying and teaching them the right way. This causes them to fall for the kingdom of darkness lies. We must teach our children the name of JESUS! We must teach them how to pray. The Bible is what teaches us how to discern the difference between evil and righteousness. How will they know without you reading with them?

Our job is to protect our children. Pray for any children that are around you. Pray for the abducted children to be returned safely. Pray for believing parents to begin to walk righteously in front of their children, that their children may follow and be filled with the Holy Spirit. Teach them the importance of Jesus and what his sacrifice did for them. Let's take our children back from the hands of the enemy. Stop freely giving them over by allowing them to see and hear anything because of your fleshly desires. Make a decision to be hot or cold. I pray you be hot for Jesus and teach your children to be the same. My prayer is that through your walk with God, your children will begin to teach other children that they encounter. My prayer is that you will begin to form prayer groups with other parents. My prayer is that you will teach the blue print of the Bible which is to Repent, be Baptised and Filled with the Holy Spirit. Be Blessed☝ Feel Free to leave any questions in the comments.

Prayer: How to enter into God's presence

Did you know you were created to live in God's presence? Adam and Eve was in God's presence daily because there was nothing separating them. Everything they did coincided with God's will and purpose for them. God guided there decisions until they fell for deception. Mankind was pure, blameless, without spot or wrinkle. We were perfect! We had no sin, wickedness, blemishes or transgressions. We were created to reflect God's character and personality, which is his nature and moral character. We are made of three parts: Body, Soul and Spirit. Because man has a spirit we are able to communicate with God in spirit as he is spirit. The Bible says God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.(John 4:24) Even though we were created in God's image, we can't reflect that image if we don't have a relationship with him. Remember our image changed once mankind fell because we became slaves to sin. We became enemies of God Romans 5:10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled (restored back) to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his (Jesus) life. Therefore the very 1st step to getting in God's presence is accepting his son Jesus Christ as your savior. Without Jesus blood there is no remission of sin. No Jesus, No God! The only way to be restored back from our fallen state is through his son Jesus. 

God's plan was for man to desire what he desired, for man's will to line up with his will. When this happens your prayers will be asking God to accomplish his will on earth as it is in heaven. Then goodness and truth will reign on earth instead of darkness and evil.  When we are born, we are born in sin. We are born conforming to the world and its systems. Thus we are born following satan whether we choose to or not. The only way to change that is to be reborn by dying to sin and raised in righteousness through Christ. This is what baptism does. This is not a quick fix pill though, the transformation is an ongoing process. In this blog I'm going to list some principles that are essential to having effective and powerful prayers that God honors. 

1. Deal with your sin- We must first deal with our sin when we prepare to pray. We must evaluate our day and actions to see if we have done anything God would be displeased with. Then ask for forgiveness of those sins. We can even ask God to forgive us for sins we don't know about because what's right to man is wicked to God. This means sometimes our decisions are not in alignment with God unknowingly. Psalms 19:12 David asks God to forgive him for his hidden faults, meaning sins he's unaware of.  1John 1:9  says that if we confess our sins, God is faithful and just to forgive us. This is very important not to skip repentance because sin causes God to separate from us and not hear our prayers.

2. Put on Righteousness- This means being right with God through the righteousness of Jesus Christ. Your life should be reflecting his light and moral code. Remember we all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, there will be areas you slip in, this is your opportunity to ask God to help you in those areas. We can do nothing by our self but through God all things are possible. 

3.Be Honest with God- Remember God knows everything 😉 we sometimes forget this and try to tell " little white lies" or " extract information" in our prayers. This will get you no where with God because that is sin. Remember the Bible says we must worship him in spirit and truth. God doesn't judge us like man. He loves us unconditionally. You can go to him with your darkest secret, in fact that gets you closer because you're laying it all at his feet and this is what he desires. 

4. Read your Word (Bible)- The word of God cleanses us. This is why God tells us to meditate on his word day and night. This just means keep God's word on your mind. The word of God is for reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness so that we may be perfect, thoroughly furnished for all good works( 2Tim. 3:16-17) Without God's word we can't truly know him. The only way we can truly live in righteousness as God desires is by living according to his word (Psalms 119:9-11). When we read the word it also trains our senses to discern between good and evil (Hebrews 5:14). Lastly, we can remind him of his word. Because he values his word above himself he will honor it always. 

5. Separate Yourself- When you prepare to pray you must separate yourself from outside interference. You can't have a powerful and effective prayer while watching television or listening to the radio (unless you have certain worship music to set the atmosphere). Your total attention need to be on your time with God. Adam and Eve didn't have interference remember but we do. We have work, school, kids, worries, Fbook, instagram, etc. We have to shut all that out for alone time just to bask in his presence. This allows your spirit to become one with his and he will speak to you and through you in prayer (this may not happen every time). The more you build your relationship with God, the stronger your prayer life will be. 

6. Have Faith- We must have Faith in God's promises when we pray. Remember, you can only know his promises if you read the Holy Bible for yourself. The Bible says without Faith it is impossible to please God. One reason is because you have to first believe that he is and that he sent his son to die for the sins of world. When you pray, you must believe that it is done. This means you live as if it is a reality for you that just has to manifest. Many pray and get off their knees and speak death to the very thing they just prayed for. The Bible says in James 4, that is like a man that look in the mirror and turns around and immediately forget what he looks like. This is another reason his word is so important because it builds your faith in him. Go into your prayer knowing that God hears you and will answer you. 

7. Give God glory & remain in Righteousness- Take some time to just praise and worship him for who he is to you. Your prayer shouldn't be all about petitions only. Praise God  for his mercy, grace, and atonement for your sins. This is just examples, but just as you like praise God does too and he totally deserves that and more. Often people try to live righteous just to get something from God, once it's done they regress to worldly living. How do you feel when you've been used? I never want to grieve God. He's done to much for me. Romans 12:1 say to present our bodies as a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, because this is our reasonable service unto him. This is my daily goal. 

I don't profess to know it all. I'm learning daily as you are.  I'm a fellow believer trying to grow in Christ and sharing with others what I've learned on this walk. My goal is to strengthen my prayer life to take it to a higher level. I want my will, purpose and pleasure to line up with his so we can do amazing miracles in the earth just as Jesus did. In fact we are instructed to do greater works than Jesus. This means if God said that, I can trust that I will be able to accomplish it because he honors his word over himself. When we position ourselves by making our vessel (body) available to him we will be awesome change agents in this earth and the earth to come. Please post in the comments about your prayer life or any questions or advice you may have for me or others. Be Blessed.  

Vision Board: Why I Threw Mine Away

My Vision Boards Through the Years

I began making Vision Boards in 2014. Before then I really didn't have any dreams and aspirations, I had low self esteem and self doubt. Let me go back and bring you up to now :) In 2009 God rocked my world by telling me to go to college to be a Teacher. I was at church and the members were giving testimonies. It seemed that every testimony was about education in some manner. Suddenly, I heard a voice say go to school for teaching. I hadn't been thinking about this in any way, shape of form. In fact, I had one more semester before graduating from Community College in Business Information Technology. I questioned God a couple times because I thought he was tripping lol or making a mistake (he never makes mistakes). Then I begin to think what will my husband say and my children are going to think I'm crazy, but God had the final say. I listened, changed my major and graduated from Community College with a Liberal Arts Associates Degree.

In 2010 I enrolled in Marygrove College undergraduate education program. I didn't really know what to expect but I knew God told me to do it. While in the program I was learning so much about myself. I was seeking God more than ever before,  building my relationship with him and continuing to learn who I was in him. In 2013 I graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Language Arts and decided to return for my Masters in Education w/certification. I had never really had goals before this, I was just living and hoping to get it right. During this time it became popular to do Vision Boards and I became a big advocate on setting goals and accomplishing them. In the lower left corner is my first vision board for 2014. As you can see I love colors, I put a lot of thought in the final product as I stood in the Dollar Store arts and crafts section. I thought of everything I wanted to accomplish that year and wallah my first vision board was born. This became an annual thing for me as you can see in the top photo.

     This year I learned about The Law of Attraction and this changed my whole outlook on Vision Boards. The Law of Attraction comes from the New Age Movement. "The New Age comprises countless theologies that often center on religious tolerance.. but it is opposed to the narrow mindedness of Christianity that teaches Jesus Christ is the only way to eternal salvation". (allaboutspirituality.org)  In this definition we can see that God has nothing to do with this. The Law of Attraction is basically what you focus on consciously and subconsciously will directly effect what you get in life from the universe. What you give your attention to results in what your reality is going to be, you create your happiness. You are in control of your life, you are a god, therefore you have the power to create the outcome of your life. If you focus on negative the universe will give you negative, if you focus on positive the universe will give you positive. Sidenote: The universe is a created thing. The universe along with everything else was created by the Most High God. The universe is not the source of all things. The Law of Attraction has been around a long time. It became popular with the book: The Secret. Jesus says: Seek ye first the kingdom of heaven and its righteousness, we should never be looking or seeking other sources. 

Where is Jesus in all this?

First of all just let me say my blessings come from God not the universe. Jesus has no part in this, therefore God has no part in it. I know this because God told me himself concerning me. I even made a Vision Board this year (bottom right hand corner). I'm a lifelong learner by nature. I research and question God often and most times he answers quickly. When I learned about the Law of Attraction and New Age I didn't even think about the Vision Board. Usually when I learn something new I ponder for a while to allow God to reveal to me his wisdom, knowledge and revelation. I don't ever want to move on my own. As I pondered the Holy Spirit said "Vision Boards" I thought hmmm vision boards. Really? I looked on Youtube and instantly saw a young lady who said God told her to take down the vision board. What really compelled me though was the countless videos on Vision Boards/ Law of Attraction and how to make your board come true. Check for yourself. Then I start seeing Christian Vision Boards. Once again we think because we put the word Christian in front of something (like Yoga) it's of God. God is a jealous God who doesn't like to share. He's in a category all by himself he doesn't need any help. I immediately wept and repented and the next day I got that thing out my house and didn't look back. John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh to the father, but by me. 

I don't want nothing to do with anything that doesn't allow Jesus to the party. Proverbs 29:18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he. Where there is no instruction from God the people perish. The vision is God's word, it's not pictures of what you want to come to pass, the same for Habakkuk (write the vision and make it plain), God answered a question that Habakkuk had and told him to write his answer down on tablets and show the people so they would know what GOD said concerning them. How many Vision Boards do you think are direct words from God's mouth? Most boards are our wants and desires that we want to constantly look at in hopes that we get what we want. Don't get me wrong I was like most Christians where Vision Boards are concerned. I always had scriptures on mine. I always had a theme I felt like was God ordained. I made my boards in a way that there was no question who I served. Nevertheless, God still told me to get it out. Remember we always want our will to line up with God's will for our life. Sometimes what we want isn't what God wants no matter how much we ask for it. Our faith is credited to us as righteousness. Our faith is in Jesus Christ and his father, we don't will the universe to work on our behalf, we are not gods, we are the children of God. Yes we can speak things into existence but it should always be led by the Holy Spirit. If you have a Vision Board I'm not judging you. What I am saying is ask if he is pleased with you making them. Once we know better we do better. I still write down everything but not on boards 😂😂😂.

Activation of the demonic realm has nothing to do with your intentions, it has everything to do with your actions. Vision Boards are demonic and can open up a world that you don't want to find yourself mixed up in. 

Christian Yoga: Does it Really Exist?

 Christian Yoga sounds like an oxymoron to me. How can bitter and sweet flow from the same fountain? What does light have to do with darkness? The Bible tells us in Romans 12 not to conform to the ways of the world. Therefore it's not necessarily Godly just because everyone says it's O.K.. In fact it usually means the opposite for believers. God doesn't think like man, the book of Isaiah says that his thoughts are as high as the heavens are from the earth from our thoughts. We often see the world doing things and want to join in but we know that we can't do it exactly like them because God won't be pleased so we think of other ways to make it o.k.. Instead we put the name Christian on it and hand it to God and expect him to take it. Putting the name Christian on sin doesn't make it right, it just makes us look like hypocrites in the world eyes. This makes God disgusted. It's amazing to me that the world knows more about how we should be living than we do. Think of the story of Cain and Abel. They both gave sacrifices unto God but Cain sacrifice wasn't good. God told him that he knew the right thing to do and chose to do otherwise. He wanted to give God what he wanted instead of what God required. This is what Christian Yoga is, Trunk or Treat on Hallelujah Night instead of calling it Halloween, Easter and Christmas. The list goes on and on and God is not pleased with us conforming to the world. We continue to give God what we want instead of what he requires. Practicing Yoga opens the door for demonic possession because you're not on guard when you open your soul up to the spirit realm through the higher consciousness that Yoga promotes. Yoga is also Hinduism. Yoga isn't separate from Hinduism, it is Hinduism. Why would a Christian participate in a Hindu practice?

Yoga's History

Yoga begin as an ancient practice in India thousands of years ago. Yoga hasn't always been popular in the west. Yoga was for the Royals and scholarly class of India in the Middle Ages. It was taught to students and gurus with the passing of many tests. In recent history around 1950's religious leaders in India decided to open the door so that the common man and anyone who wanted could practice Yoga. Yoga is the union of body. mind, and spirit. There are 8 limbs of Yoga: Yama (attitudes towards the environment), Niyama (attitudes toward ourselves), Asana (physical postures) Pranayama (restraint of expansion of the breath), Pratyahara (withdrawal of the senses) and Dharana (concentration). When Yoga is performed it encompasses these 8 limbs.

The Source of Yoga

According to Hindu Philosophy lord Shiva is the source of Yoga. Shiva is one of the gods in the Hindu triumvirate. The word Yoga means to "Yoke" or "bind" and is often translated as to "unite". With Yoga, you are taught to do poses or postures in the form of stretching while controlling your breathing to center your mind. These poses are usually named after gods, goddesses and animals. Yoga is connected to the Kundalini Spirit that can be awakened by a Guru. This spirit is nothing to play with. People have gone to the hospital because of vomiting, mental anguish, stomach pains, etc. The spirit world is real and Christians shouldn't be no where near this. The Kundalini Spirit is believed by the Hindu to be wrapped around your spine. Through meditation and breathing techniques you can awaken it and cause it to move until it reaches your pineal gland (third eye). Once you transcend you are able to leave your body, read minds, talk with spirit guides, etc. You may say this is just stretching. I haven't experienced this. This doesn't happen all at once. It takes a lot of meditation. Once you are centered you're able to commune with ungodly spirits that masquerade as angels of light. This is deception 101.

Mystic Meditation

Yoga comes from the school of mysticism. Yoga has a physical side and a spiritual side. Remember the 8 limbs and what they represent. With Yoga you are to bring your breathing under control as you position yourself in a pose. They teach you to bring your mind, body and spirit into unity. As you control your breathing and clear your mind to the point where your guards are down then you can reach the fullness of Yoga and awaken the Kundalini. Many people think they are just stretching, I thought the same thing until I did some studying of my own. I've even went to a couple Yoga classes ignorant of what I was doing. This is a prime example of the scripture "My people parish for a lack of  knowledge". The information is there but many are not looking for it. I question everything, even when I'm afraid of the answer. the Bible says "with all thy getting, get an understanding". We are to question everything. We are to always ask God for guidance because we will mess up every time. We can't lean to our understanding but we must allow God to direct our path. Christian Yoga doesn't exist. If you want to stretch thats fine but don't call it Yoga. If you want to read scriptures or recite scriptures while you stretch thats fine but don't recite repeated mantras and namastes. Stretching is good and also needed for the body, Yoga is not.

Turn and ask for Forgiveness

Whenever I find out that I've done something that goes against what God says I ask for forgiveness. I do this because I never want to grieve God's heart. This is what we do every time we want to follow the status quo of the world. Many say it's not a big deal. Well I beg to differ, my soul is a HUGE deal to me. I'm living with eternity in mind. I don't want to be connected to the enemy in any type of way. I also don't want to help him in his agenda to steal, kill and destroy mankind. Most things are not what they seem, there's always a bigger picture. For this reason we must seek God's revelation knowledge daily for guidance. We must ask for forgiveness daily to be in right alignment with the father. This was just a brief introduction as to why Christians (believers) shouldn't have any part in Yoga or anything else that's not rooted in God. There are many testimonies of people messing with Yoga and found themselves in need of deliverance. This is not to be taken lightly. If you want to reach a higher conscious seek the Holy Spirit. Jesus made sure we had a link to God on the cross. He is the source. God says seek and you shall find, knock and the door will be opened. You don't have or need to take other avenues that lead to destruction.

Keep Your Mind on God: Peace in an Evil World

Sometimes this is what we have to say to our mind (Peace Be Still). With all that's going on it will have your mind in knots.  In the Bible God gives numerous scriptures on PEACE. Why does he do that? I believe because it is important for us to know that we can have peace even in the midst of chaos. This is obtainable but we first must know how to obtain it. In Psalms 34:14 it says to turn away from evil and do good, seek peace and pursue it, the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears is attentive to our cry. This scripture is also in 1Peter which tells me this scripture is important. When I read this I looked up the difference between seek and pursue.
 Seek- 1 attempt to find 2. attempt or desire to obtain 3. ask for
Pursue- 1. follow in order to catch 2. continue or proceed along a path or route
When I put them together the message I get is that I should have a desire to have peace. Therefore I will attempt to find it by asking God for it. Once I do that I should follow his ways in order to obtain and and keep it. The Bible also says that God will keep me in perfect peace because my mind is on him ☝ because I trust him ( Isaiah 26:3-4). When I read this then I had the answer to how to find peace and pursue it. It is simply keeping my mind on God and trusting him with my life.
Evil will always be in the world because satan is the god of this world. He keeps people fighting against each other. He keeps the mind dumbed down with technology and television. He puffs up the minds of people with deceitful rhetoric. He is the father of lies and he works through media, government, schools, churches( yes churches), etc. Wherever he is given an opening he steps in and pounces. Now don't misunderstand me, I'm not saying church is evil. I'm saying many churches have fallen because of satan having an opening and pouncing through sin which is ultimately causing death to many churches. Many are falling away from the faith because of his deceitfulness. This is why it is extremely important to keep our mind on God. We must know that in the end EVERY KNEE WILL BOW AND EVERY TONGUE WILL CONFESS THAT JESUS IS LORD! We must stay in Gods word because it is what keeps us grounded and sane in this mess of a world that we live in. THE FATHER OF WICKEDNESS WILL HAVE HIS DAY. There is no need to worry about that. I know it is easier said than done sometimes but this is only when we take our mind off GOD and put it on what we see around us.
I often find myself heavy when I take my mind of God. I see things happening around me and I become sad just like many of you. Nevertheless, that is not Gods will for you nor me. God wants us to rejoice in all things knowing that he is in control even when it seems otherwise. Our job is to always pray about everything that we see out of place. He is the one with all power, he is the one who created the heavens and the earth, he has infinite wisdom and power that surpasses our intellect. Therefore he qualifies to take upon our cares on his shoulders. We must never forget that we are not alone in this. God loved us so much he sent his son to die for our sins while we were yet still in them. I can't say that I would have done the same. God is AWESOME and he still sits on the throne with JESUS at his right side. We must rejoice, pray, and give thanks while keeping our mind on the one who can give us peace. God reminded me of this today and I wanted to share with anyone who may be saddened by what they see daily.

SEEK, PURSUE AND HOLD ON TO GOD WITH A TIGHT GRIP. Remember Heaven and Earth will pass away but his word will always stand. His word is firmly fixed in the Heavens. Walk in Gods peace. Be blessed my sisters and brothers in the Lord.
