<p>I didn&#8217;t care. I was too emotionally spent to care. I was bombarded by childhood memories, the pains, regrets, lost, and everything bad that came to my mind during my study. I was so spent after a few hours.</p>
<p>I didn&#8217;t even realize how many thoughts had passed through my mind prior to my fall for private anime. It went on and on. The fear of being incomeless and the fear of uncertainty in the future and all that also presented.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>God impressed upon me to fast for my family. I haven&#8217;t done that for 10 years.</p>
<p>What kept me from doing so was because I didn&#8217;t have knowledge of the effectiveness of fasting specifically for the eternal destiny of a loved one&#8217;s . But last week I finished reading 2 books by Derek Prince in a Christian bookstore, and I was convicted by his teaching to fast for my family.</p>
<p>So last Wednesday I fasted for my mom, and tonight I am just starting to fast for my dad. The order was of some importance. I dreamed last week that my mom suddenly dropped dead, after we had tea and had a not so pleasant conversation about <a href="http://journal.exodus-from-9to5.com/2010/02/explanation-of-unemployment/">my jobless situation</a>.</p>
<p>In my dream I was very upset for her death. I mourned because I knew she was going to Hell right after her last breath and she still hadn&#8217;t seen God&#8217;s deliverance for my financial situation yet. How I longed for the glory of God to be revealed in my family!</p>
<p>I refuse to let any of my family member die before they see the glory of God and invite Him to be their Lord and Savor.</p>
<p>I thank God for His prophetic warning and so I fasted for my mom, praying for her eternal destiny by asking God to lead her to repentance and be born again.</p>
<p>Tonight not only am I going to pray for my dad for the same thing, I am actually going to proclaim that I am going to prosper and his business dwindle. (He makes a living by providing folkloric funeral service as a pagan priest)</p>
<p>There is great <a href="http://journal.exodus-from-9to5.com/2009/11/the-power-of-spoken-words/">power in the tongue</a>. God created it for us to use it.</p>
<p>I bless my father so that his business will dwindle while I prosper, so he can retire soon and God can provide for my family through me, and they will see God demonstrating His power.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the TV series, &#8220;Hoarders&#8221;, you can almost see a spiritual warfare going on before your eyes when the cleaning crew and experts try to help the hoarders to deal with the psychological disorder and dump whatever garbage they have been hoarding in their house.</p>
<p>We are talking about tons of garbage. Garbage cover the entire floors and give sanctuary to critters.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s easy to judge and think that they are crazy, but I can see why they struggle. In their subconsciousness, their garbage means a lot of things to them. They have invested too much sentimental meanings into those garbage to dump them, even if it is hazardous and torturous to their families.</p>
<p>In the logical mind, they see every reason to make things better and stop hoarding, but their heads and hearts could never agree. If they try to dump the garbage, their anxiety level build up. Their breathe get heavy and they start to feel disoriented and depressed.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a supernatural battle. It&#8217;s bigger than them.</p>
<p>Some say, dirt has demons, and I feel that is true after watching the show.</p>
<p>How about other struggles, like hoarding other things such as money? Or other disorders or addiction?</p>
<p>I can identify with the hoarders in my own problems. I can understand their anxiety level getting up when try to confront their problems. I have that symptom too when I confront mine. Now I understand it was not that I didn&#8217;t want to have my problem solved by taking the logical actions, like for the hoarder to simply dump their garbage, but there was an invisible wall that stood between me and the solutions to my problems.</p>
<p>It was a spiritual warfare.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>but rejoicing comes in the morning. (Psalm 30:5)</h3>
<p>I had been praying for 2 hours between midnight and dawn, and unexpectedly wept and wailed for my past, even though I said to myself, &#8220;Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead.&#8221; (Phil 3:13)</p>
<p>I had been thinking about my past, again. There were many unanswered prayers, repeated shortcoming, detours, and disappointments in it. A sad past is not the problem, the problem is that I have always wanted it to change but it didn&#8217;t.</p>
<p>Like I said in my last post, I had been <a href="http://journal.exodus-from-9to5.com/2010/02/explanation-of-unemployment/">unemployed for 3 years now</a>. Many students from my program had been working for years already, and they had passed the co-op program, meaning they are ahead of me 20k Canadian dollars at the minimum.</p>
<p>Thinking of that, I wept. I decided to work hard for financial independent 12 years ago ever since my dad insulted God and me by saying that he was the one who provided bread and clothing, not God, but I still chose to go to Church and stuff. It was so hurt. I remembered how he counted what he had done for me as a father with his fingers.</p>
<p>That year was so stressful that I developed eyes diseases, which have plagued me since.</p>
<p>After 12 years, I felt I had nothing to show for. After all the things that I have tried and invested time and energy in, I had nothing to show for. Maybe this blog will bring me somewhere I don&#8217;t know, but for now I got nothing. Maybe I have a lot of rewards in heaven now, but I am not sure.</p>
<p>Going back to the big dream I had about money 12 years ago.</p>
<p>Like I told you in another post. <a href="http://journal.exodus-from-9to5.com/2010/01/my-life-was-cursed/">My career was not smooth</a>.</p>
<p>There were humiliation and misunderstanding from family, carnal Christians, my love interest, and plain bullies because of my incompetence and mental weaknesses. They kept using my weaknesses against me. This is how the world runs. It is not compassion based, but fear and power based.</p>
<p>Thinking of some of the words my family and friends have spoken against me, I wept even more. (see the letter I sent to a blogger in this <a href="http://journal.exodus-from-9to5.com/2009/11/wasted-years/">post</a> for some of those)</p>
<p>I couldn&#8217;t help but thinking about how all my love interests ended up choosing non-Christians. Two of them trying to do missionary dating. The last one brought me the most humiliations and wounds. I saw her in nightmares.</p>
<p>I wept again. I thought about how even an unbeliever beat me by a land slide, academically and financially. He didn&#8217;t even try as hard. He got in and captured her heart just like that, while I had gone through so much rough for 2 years.</p>
<p>Then I thought about the glory of God the Father. I thought about how Jesus had always been able to glorify the Father in everything he does. I guess even His random thought and breathe glorified the Father.</p>
<p>Me, not so much at all. Looking at my past, how could anyone look at it and feel good about being a Christian? How could anyone who looked at this person in his 20s who couldn&#8217;t survive without his parents ever see it as positive?</p>
<p>I cried out to God and really asked Him to enable me to live a life that glorify Him from now on, and at that moment I really broke down, again, and wailed. It really hurt me to say the word glory, because I really didn&#8217;t think my life glorified God too much. I consumed air, food, and many resources by living, but I felt I had given nothing back.</p>
<p>I want to experience Him everyday from now on, at work, family, school (if I ever study again), and everything else. I wanted Him to reveal to me the path I should go so that I can be absolutely clear and affirm this time.</p>
<p>Speaking of school, I really couldn&#8217;t forget how depressed and unproductive I was in University. I kept praying and trying, but to no avail. Until one day, God really took away my bitterness and depression with one major hit. It was like a surgery: The last girl I loved whom I mentioned 5 paragraphs up went out with a non Christian.</p>
<p>That time I repressed for like 4-5 days, burning within. I was not burning with anger, but with all sorts of pains: regret, fear, confusion&#8230; and other emotions that I don&#8217;t want to mention here. On the 4th or 5th day, I broke down, weeping and wailing, on and off for a whole day. The sky was raining, on and off. When I wept, it rained. When I stopped it stopped. When I resumed weeping, it resumed raining.</p>
<p>God showed He cared and understood with the rain. Rains are His tears.</p>
<p>But it didn&#8217;t take away my unproductiveness and failures. They had kept coming after that episode, but I felt that my depression had mostly gone since.</p>
<p>Going back to the now, so I was praying still, crying out to God over and over again.</p>
<p>And I really really prayed that He will reveal to me His specific will, like where, what, when, who, and all sort of detail as to what I should do next to make money so I can provide for my family and set a good Christian example. I really wanted God to be very specific from now on.</p>
<p>I prayed for honors, which I never really had, except the Honor Bachelor Math degree I barely got after God miraculously toned down some key requirement for the program just when I failed some key courses. I thanked God for that.</p>
<p>I spoke out clearly what I prayed for. I spoke specifically. I rebuked <a href="http://journal.exodus-from-9to5.com/2010/02/baptize-by-blazing-fire/">all the demons that used to pull the strings behind my failures. </a></p>
<p>I really wanted my Dad and Mom to retire 3 years ago. If I had become an Actuary, that would have happened already, and my dad won&#8217;t remain the Duo priest that he still is now.</p>
<p>I really prayed and in the name of Jesus Christ ordered Satan to release w<a href="http://journal.exodus-from-9to5.com/2009/12/how-to-deal-with-the-thief-satan-and-his-demons/">hat he has stolen from me and my family sevenfold</a>.</p>
<p>Sometime, we need prayer like this one. We need passion, <a href="http://bible-verses-insights.com/2009/11/parable-of-the-mustard-seed/">word of faith</a>, sheer loudness, and focus if we are dealing with some <a href="http://journal.exodus-from-9to5.com/2009/12/demonic-strongholds-generational-curses/">strongholds</a> that have been around for decades. Ordinary prayers won&#8217;t do.</p>
<p>To me, this time tears come naturally. I don&#8217;t even need to force it. In light of the information I gave you, I bet you could understand now why I was so emotional charged at the time. God simply channeled my emotional energy into one of my most passionate prayer ever.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today I had a brunch (we are talking about 3pm) with the Tso couple from my church. We are baptists.</p>
<p>I really came out of the closet – about the fact that I don&#8217;t believe in the &#8220;<a href="http://bible-verses-insights.com/2009/10/can-you-lose-your-salvation-unforgivable-sin/">one saved, always saved</a>&#8221; and the &#8220;<a href="http://bible-verses-insights.com/2009/09/will-some-christian-be-left-behind-movies-rapture-in-the-bible/">Rapture is for every believer</a>&#8221; theories, and the fact that I think most of what our church teaches and doesn&#8217;t teaches have so far failed to equip me to face most of my challenges in life.</p>
<p>Should you tell these things to your brothers and sisters? While I don&#8217;t usually tell the church folks what I really believe to avoid a fight, I think at the end of the day you should let your brothers and sisters know.</p>
<p>The aforementioned theories really did major disservices to sincere Christians, insincere Christians, and anything in between, because the theories undermine the importance to watch out for what is to come – the future judgments: the Tribulation and even Hell.</p>
<p>I also shared with them a tiny bit about the trials I had been through. It was quite hard to have to explain to someone who has always been doing well in a typical job why you have been incomeless and unemployed for 3 years.</p>
<p>Generational curses and verbal curses were the major factors that break my destiny.</p>
<p>Before I went for lunch with them, I&#8217;d spend an hour praying to God. It was saddening to pray about my past and ask God what I should say if the couple ask about my &#8220;job hunt&#8221;. I was wandering in the desert financially.</p>
<p>How do I explain this to them?</p>
<p>I had lost so much honor and opportunities in the past already. And here I have to explain to other about it and make myself go through the entire memory bank again!</p>
<p>So I started off by telling them how I have this conviction to seek God&#8217;s perfect will for my life in everything, including job search, and that God hasn&#8217;t really instructed me where I should go in terms of job finding. (Proverbs 3:5-6) (And I do have sent out applications, even to Wal Mart, but all doors closed. I was once hired for a week and was said to be over qualified. The owner and I had a lot in common, even went to the same church, but it didn&#8217;t last over a week)</p>
<p>Basically, when I worked, I was always on the verge of getting fired. If there were options, I often ended up choosing the slow and crooked path. When there were opportunities, they often slipped through my hands in the last second. Blessing evaded me most of the time.</p>
<p>I doubled and tripled my will. I prayed. I read. I sought help. Every door closed. I joined a Network Marketing company to keep myself positive, since NM usually have those pumping-you-up prep talks and positive thinking rules, but even that turned sour. Positive thinking without Truth and God is futile.</p>
<p>I couldn&#8217;t explain my suicidal thoughts. I couldn&#8217;t stop my depression. I had short attention span. Every dream I cherished ended up broken. Almost every nightmare that I dreaded get fulfilled. (But I think God really kept some of the worst ones from happening, such as I didn&#8217;t really commit suicide, and I didn&#8217;t go blind, even though my eyesight haven&#8217;t got healed yet)</p>
<p>As a result, I also had to spend a lot of time to come to term with my memory and try to know the whys. But the down side of that was, the more time you had, the more your brain will find things to occupy those time. The more time you give your brain, the more it thinks.</p>
<p>Okay, back to the topic.</p>
<p><a href="http://journal.exodus-from-9to5.com/2010/01/my-life-was-cursed/">God told me the major reason of all these was because of curses that still operated in my life</a>, so I was able to break them after learning these things. <a href="http://journal.exodus-from-9to5.com/2010/02/baptize-by-blazing-fire/">Demons feed upon curses</a> and <a href="http://journal.exodus-from-9to5.com/2009/12/demonic-strongholds-generational-curses/">they really go after anyone who is under curse(s).</a></p>
<p>Also, there was my own problem – my own lack of faith? I thought I had faith, but I had failed to speak the word of faith often! As Christians, we should speak the word of God with faith, not verbalize the negatives of the situation nor complains. Over the year, my negative confessions often get fulfilled. Speaking of self-fulfilling prophecies. See my view on <a href="http://bible-verses-insights.com/2009/11/parable-of-the-mustard-seed/">What Is Faith</a></p>
<p>After I learned about these things, I was really shocked, but now I have to explain them to my Baptist fellows. Baptist Churches don&#8217;t teach these things.</p>
<p>I have been told to keep quiet about my new findings because they can cause such a big impact to others. Well, millions of churchgoers could be going to hell without knowing it. We have millions of people in the churches today, but not all of them are getting saved in the end. I know it for a fact. They must at least be given a fair treatment by telling them the truth.</p>
<p>False security will only drastically increase one&#8217;s chance of falling into sins and refusing to repent:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Hebrews 3:12-13</span></strong></p>
<p>12See to it, brothers, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. <sup id="en-NIV-29993">13</sup>But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin&#8217;s deceitfulness.</p></blockquote>
<p>Today was such a battle for me, emotionally, spiritually, and mentally. And people kept asking me about my &#8220;job hunt&#8221;&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From last Friday until yesterday, Monday, I have been reading book 2-4 of the <em>Baptize By Blazing Fire </em>series.</p>
<p>The book talks about how a pastor and his small church had prayed for 30 nights in 2005. They encountered demons, many many demons, met Jesus frequently, visited heaven and hell, protected by angels, and received gifts of the Holy Spirit.</p>
<p>Half of the church had their spiritual eyes opened, so they could literally see the spiritual realm, and what they described about what were really going on spiritually matched what I read from other testimonies of Christians who had visited heaven and hell, battled with demons, and met God.</p>
<p>They couldn&#8217;t have been making it all up, because the experience of this little Korean church couldn&#8217;t have so many similarities with other testimonies from around the globe if they were lying. And I found no direct conflicts of their experience and theology with the Bible.</p>
<p>It really deepened the understanding of my own Christian walk. The branches of Christianity I have been part of had been under-educated in demonology, and as a result so many of us are defenseless against demons and Satan.</p>
<p>It enlightened me why I have lost so many battles in the past, even though I have done almost everything I have been taught by every great Christian book and every pastor I could get access of.</p>
<p>My teachers simply didn&#8217;t teach me that our entire sky is literally clouded with demons of every kind, and no ray of light could pass through the demonic wall, if you see it with your spiritual eyes. That&#8217;s how dire our situation is!</p>
<p>No matter what you do, Satan can simply send a couple of demons to harass you so much that you fail, and foil your effort in every way, without you ever discover the cause of your misfortune. And if you ever rebuke a demon or two in the name of Jesus, Satan simply send a dozen more, and more as needed.</p>
<p>They could keep coming at you day in and night out until you get exhausted.</p>
<p>The little Korean Church had battled thousands, and later thousand of thousands of demons that had been sent their way to knock out their ministry, trying to prevent them from publish the books.</p>
<p>Even some of the most demonologically educated branches of Christianity couldn&#8217;t match the power of this ministry of &#8220;Baptize By Blazing Fire&#8221;, because none of the teaching actually describe the reality of our situation by physically seeing the demons that are working against us.</p>
<p>To really win the battle, one or two rebuke or binding Satan in the name of Jesus Christ aren&#8217;t enough. You knock out the low ranking demons, and the stronger one will come, and more and more of them will reinforce the battle until they overwhelm you.</p>
<p>Without the spiritual eyes opened, one can wonder why rebuking Satan in the name of Jesus Christ doesn&#8217;t seem to work, while in reality, you are battling hundreds of demons, so one or two rebukes are never enough.</p>
<p>It really take advanced spiritual tactics, knowledge, and weapons to win the battles.</p>
<p>I am convinced that if you can&#8217;t hear directly from Jesus and see Him frequently, you can&#8217;t truly win the battles.</p>
<p>Since I started to do self-deliverance from generational curses and spirits, I discovered there were retaliation from kingdom of Satan. Some were like <a href="http://journal.exodus-from-9to5.com/2010/01/my-life-was-cursed/">demons influencing my humans authorities to curse me</a>.</p>
<p>Another evidence was, my younger brother was hearing strange noise in my room these days when I was not there. It could be my guardian angels, however, because I have been releasing angelic protection around the premises recently.</p>
<p>One afternoon in about a month or two ago, I was napping, and just when I was waking up I couldn&#8217;t move but I was hearing loud noises of someone banging the door of my bedroom and stomping in. I saw a being in my vision who appeared in the form of my mother, wearing a white robe that angel wear but my real mom doesn&#8217;t have robe like that, and &#8220;it&#8221; stared down at me without saying a word. A split second later, I was able to open my eyes and stand up but saw no one in my room, all was quiet.</p>
<p>I am sure it was a demon, but I was not scared. It could be a demon that had been feeding on my ancestor&#8217;s curse line, which I recently broke and it could be angry about the fact that I broke the curse in the name of Jesus Christ.</p>
<p>If you ever become a God lover, Satan has you on his hit list.</p>
<p>He will use all kind of tricks on his hand book to try to destroy your fruitfulness as God&#8217;s children.</p>
<p>But we have to get better in the things of God anyway, because there is no better alternative, the only alternative is hell. Generally, Satan doesn&#8217;t attack someone who is already heading hell.</p>
<p>I re-discovered from the book the importance of kneeling and praying aloud with my hand lift up. I used to do that in my first few years since I&#8217;d been going to church.</p>
<p>I never felt into sleep that way, but since I do contemplative prayer more and more I fell into sleep during prayer often.</p>
<p>Satan deceived me and made me think that it didn&#8217;t matter as long as I remain prayerful all day long. One or two nap wouldn&#8217;t hurt, Satan says.</p>
<p>But no, we have to pray with our hand lift up and pray aloud if we could. As long as there is no one near by who may be disturbed by out loud prayer, we should pray in that mode.</p>
<p>30 nights of prayers in that form literally help that little Korean church experience victory over the devils and Satan himself, and receive many gifts from heaven.</p>
<p>I am reinstating this kind of prayer as frequent as I can. I think I will experience the same things soon.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #000000;">Early morning today I was going through some of my college study notes. I used to write spiritual journal on A4 study paper and attach it in my course binder.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Going through the notes reminded me of what I had been going through each semester.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">I found that my college life was a long, dark tunnel of repeated academic mediocrity, financial dependency, disorganization, depression, betrayal and broken promises from friends, suicidal thoughts&#8230;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">I noted how I had been trying to improve some of my academic weakness such as focus and self-discipline, and I had been seeking hard after God for spiritual insights that can change my situations, but looking back I could see a lot of unanswered prayers over a long period of time.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">I joined a network marketing company at some point during the dark period because I yearned for a positive environment, instead I got manipulated by legalistic, and even some of the very negative people I had ever known. My upline cursed me. (The NM representative who recruits you is called upline and you are his downline)<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">I failed internship in college. I failed even music courses. I manged to be a survivor in my program (math), but merely surviving. I felt as though I had studied nothing at all. What I learned didn&#8217;t help me land a meaningful job, nor was it useful for anything.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">I had wanted to quit all my addictions and bad habits since DAY 1 of my college years, but by the end of college I acquired some more.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">I dedicated my marriage into God&#8217;s hand and had a big dream, but it got broken, shredded, and at the end it felt like a sharp knife piercing into my heart many times.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">I found shames and forlornness, instead of the wonderful, romantic dream being fulfilled. My story was worst than those who practiced casual dating.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Every time there was a breakthrough and passing of a test, I was soon being thrown back into many many times more confusion, walking in circles instead of continual breakthrough that I need to complete my quests, and frustrations.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">I had dedicated my firstfruit to God, but I didn&#8217;t receive the harvest in return. I was kept in poverty. I spent the best chunk of my time to seek God, but suffered guilt, mediocrity, and defeats for the rest of the time. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">But I thank God for that. Am I crazy? No.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">I thank God because I learned something important through the ordeals. </span></p>
<blockquote><p>It was good for me to be afflicted so that I might learn your decrees. <strong>Psalm 119:71</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>If I had been blessed with an easier life, and a straight path to success, I wouldn&#8217;t have learned to fear the word of God, and the reality of blessing and curse. I wouldn&#8217;t have been as passionate as I am now to teach this principle to others, and set them free with this truth.</p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">I was cursed because of my ancestors&#8217; sins, and I was also cursed because of every evil word that had been spoken over me by my human authorities, which God had placed over me for good reasons, but somehow the human factor went wrong and Satan was able to manipulate them into cursing me&#8230; If it sounds unbelievable to you, then let me remind you of the story of Adam and Eve and the forbidden fruit. They were created perfect, but&#8230;<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">The system that God has placed over me, which was intended to be my blessing, was corrupted.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">I didn&#8217;t recognize these curses in my life that had been supernaturally and invisibly affecting my destiny and sabotaging my best efforts for many years until very recently.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">It explained some of my health problems. It explained why I couldn&#8217;t focus well and long enough. It exposed the invisible barrier that had been working against me, which I somehow had felt but couldn&#8217;t explain over the years.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Because I have gone through so much hardship, I am much more certain that the reality of blessing and curse is very very real. A lot of churches today don&#8217;t teach that. Some pastors even speak evil words (curses) over those whom God had put under them, and thus destroyed their destinies and callings. These leaders, authorities, and parents have bloods of the innocences in their hands.</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color: #000000;">For he will deliver the needy when he cries for help, The afflicted also, and him who has no helper. <strong>Psalm 72 :12</strong></span></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><span style="color: #000000;">He saw that there was no one, he was appalled that there was no one to intervene; so his own arm worked salvation for him, and his own righteousness sustained him. <strong>Isaiah 59:16</strong></span></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">For many years, I was affected by curses, without knowing it. Curses also blocked me from receiving major spiritual insights that I needed. <a href="http://journal.exodus-from-9to5.com/2009/12/sincere-christian-so-what/">Sincerity isn&#8217;t enough. Dedication isn&#8217;t enough</a>. If a Christian is under curse, things won&#8217;t be fair for him or her.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Finally, I think even the Lord was appalled by my situation and He came to my rescue even though I was left to die under curses by humans. He might have waiting for someone to rescue me, but of course if you live in the world long enough you know nowadays many innocent and good people die without anyone rescue them anyway. For example, aborted babies.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">At the end, one of my mentors finally said something about curse and I looked that up, and dada! I found it. See below:<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #000000;">Only truth you understand and believe in will set you free. You need the Holy Spirit to reveal the meaning of the word and bring light to your eyes in order to receive a piece of truth from God. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">You will have to confess the truth with you mouth and walk by faith, and be a doer of the word, so that truth will set you free. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Today I just spoke with Gary Kong, and we talked about how many Christians and non-Christian &#8220;good men&#8221; (who will be saved soon when the timing arrive, or they will never be saved because the enemy is successful at keeping the gospel from them) are still under oppression and bondage because the truth is not preached. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">We can set the captive free if we are willing to exercise our mustard seed sized faith. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">We can ask God to dry up our enemy<strong> (Jeremiah 51:36-37)</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Today the enemy is killing people everyday, literally, and when they can&#8217;t kill, they steal. (John 10:10)</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Many babies die through abortions everyday. Infants are born handicapped. Children grew up with curses laid upon them by parental verbal abuse. The calling and destiny of people are being destroyed by the enemy as I am typing these words. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Tonight I just heard evil words uttered by one of the authorities that God placed over me. These words were exactly the words that demons have been trying to whisper through my ears. They failed so they spoke it through my human authority. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">The spirits of suicide, death, violence, anger, were empowered through these words. I guessed that these unclean spirits must be present when these words were spoken.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">I used to be passive when such words were spoken over me, but this time I broke their power with the name of Jesus Christ because I learned the power of verbal curses just recently.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Can you imagine it? Words like that have been spoken over me year after year. By God&#8217;s grace I have survived. I had been very close to committing suicide, violence, and other horrible sins because of non-stop verbal curses like these from some of my human authorities. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">I didn&#8217;t know why sometime I met unexplainable, seemingly unresolvable, spiritual dangers, bondage, and supernatural failures. Now I know. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">This is one of the trickiest scheme of Satan and His evil cohort – by using human authorities to curse people under them, the innocent and unknowing wouldn&#8217;t know these &#8220;curses&#8221;, which were disguised as teases, venting, complains, gossips, and casual words, were actually effective. </span></p>
<blockquote><p><sup id="en-NIV-20726">17</sup> &#8220;Now, son of man, set your face against the daughters of your people who prophesy out of their own imagination. Prophesy against them <sup id="en-NIV-20727">18</sup> and say, &#8216;This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Woe to the women who sew magic charms on all their wrists and make veils of various lengths for their heads in order to ensnare people. Will you ensnare the lives of my people but preserve your own? <sup id="en-NIV-20728">19</sup> You have profaned me among my people for a few handfuls of barley and scraps of bread. <strong>By lying to my people, who listen to lies, you have killed those who should not have died and have spared those who should not live</strong>.</p>
<p><sup id="en-NIV-20729">20</sup> &#8221; &#8216;Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: I am against your magic charms with which you ensnare people like birds and I will tear them from your arms; I will set free the people that you ensnare like birds. <sup id="en-NIV-20730">21</sup> I will tear off your veils and save my people from your hands, and they will no longer fall prey to your power. Then you will know that I am the LORD. <sup id="en-NIV-20731">22</sup> Because you disheartened the righteous with your lies, when I had brought them no grief, and because you encouraged the wicked not to turn from their evil ways and so save their lives, <sup id="en-NIV-20732">23</sup> therefore you will no longer see false visions or practice divination. I will save my people from your hands. And then you will know that I am the LORD.&#8217; &#8221; <strong>Ezekiel 13:17-23</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>In the above scripture passage, it clearly indicates that witchcraft, magic, and divination have the ability to kill the innocents but keep the life of the wicked.</p>
<p>The enemy can manipulate people to say what they want them to say. Even the disciple Peter was used by Satan to persuade Jesus not to take the cross. (Matt 16:23)</p>
<p>Simply saying the words the enemy wants us to say constitute witchcraft. We must repent for that, plead the blood of Christ over this sin, and rebuke the words being spoken in the name of Christ.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #000000;">Faith without knowledge doesn&#8217;t really perform.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="vertical-align: 2px; line-height: 0pt; font-size: 85%;"> </span><strong>Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">You can have consistent faith, and keep failing one time after another, and another, and another, for many years, until you die (<a href="http://www.greatbiblestudy.com/live_long_life.php">probably die before your time</a>, too). What you pray for will get held up somewhere in the spiritual realm before they manifest in your reality. The demons held them up, and they had the legal right to do so (Daniel 10:12-13).<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">You do everything the church teaches you to do, and maybe more, but still, results don&#8217;t add up. Unless the church really obey and listen to everything Jesus tells her, you don&#8217;t stand a chance. Religious organization is both deadly and dead.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Why? because you don&#8217;t know what you miss. You faith is genuine, but you didn&#8217;t know all the rules in the spiritual realm, so you fail.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">There was a famine during the days of king David, and the reason was because of the sin of previous king, Saul, who killed some Gibeonites. The Gibeonites wasn&#8217;t part of Israel, but the Israelites had sworn protection to them, yet king Saul ignored this pact and killed them, so it brought about a famine in David&#8217;s time (2 Samuel 21:1-6).</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">David found out what was going on behind the famine, and did what was necessary to undo the curse, and the Israel was delivered from the famine.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">If David failed to discern the reason behind the famine, he could be praying for rain for the nation, over and over again, but to no avail.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Now, a lot of Christians inherited curses from their parents and ancestors. These curses shouldn&#8217;t have any more legal right in our lives, since we have become God&#8217;s children through Christ, but if we don&#8217;t actively break them in the name of Jesus and apply His blood over them we will remain under the curses. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">What if we weren&#8217;t as smart as David? We would be praying over and over again for success, deliverance, healing, blessings, and whatever, but with the curses working against us, we most probably will not get the answers of our prayers and will fail to be light and salt to the world. (I was a good example. I thought I was in love with God, and I heard Him everyday, but that didn&#8217;t automatically nullify the curses nor cancel my inherited moral weaknesses )<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">The world will only see us get entangled by all kind of addictions, diseases, failures, mediocrity, depressions, and etc, but they would just think we were lazy and just waiting to get into heaven. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><a href="http://bible-verses-insights.com/2009/10/can-you-lose-your-salvation-unforgivable-sin/">But we might not even make it to heaven. </a></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Satan can send his demons to attach or influence authorities figures in your life and cause them to curse you verbally (Usually in the form of vent or tease). Words spoken by authorities over you can make you and break you. Sadly, today&#8217;s culture doesn&#8217;t acknowledge the power of spoken words. People pay too little respect to the words they say. They actually think teasing people is humor.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Many ancient cultures recognize the power of witchcraft, oath, blessings, and verbal curses. Gossip is a form of witchcraft, for example, and it is believed that cursing can cause the target person to suffer exactly the curse is designed to make him suffer. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Let&#8217;s say, &#8220;Die&#8221; and that person will develop strange fatal disease or die by accident. No wonder we have so many kind of strange diseases and health problems today. Car accidents and abortions also took many lives each year. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">My dad isn&#8217;t a Christian yet, and he often tease me with words such as, &#8220;The Lord is going to kick you into Hell, cuz you pray too much you annoyed Him&#8221;. I thought it was just harmless teasing, but looking back, these words did cause me to do things or consider things that can <a href="http://bible-verses-insights.com/2009/10/can-you-lose-your-salvation-unforgivable-sin/">disqualify me from heaven and make me go to Hell, </a>if I remained ignorance and unrepentant. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">I knew those things were wrong, but I kept doing them. I didn&#8217;t know why but I was hopelessly addicted to them. I could never really get freed from activities that could make me go to Hell if I died while committing any of those sins.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">I wouldn&#8217;t even think about many of those sins nor get addicted to them if the words from my dad didn&#8217;t have effects on me. My dad&#8217;s words must have a binding effect on me. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Also there were a number of curses and sins of my ancestors I had discovered that related to a number of my moral weaknesses.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">The Bible makes it very obvious that parental blessing or curse has real and lasting effect on children (Genesis 9:18-27; Genesis 27:12).<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Thank God, although curses of all kind are prevalent and inevitable in today&#8217;s world, grace abound even more (Romans 5:12). We have authority in Christ. If we exercise our legal right we can confess the sins of our ancestors and parents, apply the blood of Christ over all curses, break the curses (verbal or inheritable), and replace them with blessings.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The following is a letter I sent Grantley, the chief author of <a href="http://net-burst.net/hope/multiple-personalities.htm">net-burst.net</a> A fantastic Christian website</p>
<p>Hi Grantley!</p>
<p>Your site is a blessing to me, and your biography helped me a lot, so please keep it. Helen received an email I sent you, which explained why your autobiography should be kept, while you were away.</p>
<p>Ok, on DID. After reading your webpages on DID for a while I think the Lord has been leading me to develop new parts of my brain. I don&#8217;t have DID, but for years the Lord has been adding one major revelation or spiritual lesson to me after another. I always wanted to fully apply each lesson each day, but time and energy were too limited for a normal person like me so I can only focus on one lesson at a time.</p>
<p>Each lesson require a lot of time and focus, and after I implemented one I would be exhausted for the rest of the day, or even days. I am also a Christian blogger, an entrepreneur, a composer, an employee-wannbe, a potential preacher being called to preach one day and was able to train my preaching skill with imagination (You mentioned something like that in your book WFYM too), and I can say I am a multi-talented man. Praise The Lord (Most people are mult-talented too, but they were like me, only able to focus on one at a time)</p>
<p>If I was born a century ago I would have just stuck with one vacation and that&#8217;s it, but I was born in this age, which is filled with so much spiritual inheritance and knowledge and technologies. We could do a lot more with the knowledge we are given in this age. We can learn so much within so short a time.</p>
<p>So I think the Lord is impressing upon me to develop new parts of my brain and migrate and duplicate some of my skills such as communication, language, writing, preaching, composing into each new part, so I can perform different vocational and spiritual role at the same time, and if I get tired the other parts can function independently and take over.</p>
<p>For example, I often sense the need to intercede for others, and the need to bind Satan and speak the words of faith and blessing over myself and others (We are always verbally cursed by friends, family members, and even demon-attached Christians, so we need to return blessing for curses so often that we may not have time to do other things such as worship) and at the same time I have to write a lot as a Christian blogger, while at the same time I have to make money secularly.</p>
<p>I need more functions for my brain to handle all these and contain the knowledge we were so blessed with, simultaneously.</p>
<p>How do I do it? By verbal command! Matthew 17:20-21. If we have faith as a mustard seed, we can command our brain to reveal its secret and use all its potential for the Lord. For example, &#8220;Brain, develop a new part for me so it can compose for the Lord by itself regardless of what I have to do at the time&#8221;</p>
<p>Someone said most of the time a person only use one tiny part of the brain the whole day, while the other parts were un-utilized, which, I suspect, are actually undeveloped. What a waste!</p>
<p>How about lucid dreaming? We can write for the Lord while we dream. (You mentioned a preacher who muttered an entire sermon while was sleeping)</p>
<p>This is time-management to the extreme. The Lord say that we can do bigger things than he did.</p>
<p>The reason most people, which included me, weren&#8217;t able to reach so high with their potential was, I think, the failure to recognize the power of the tongue and the lack of knowledge.</p>
<p>The brain and the circumstance are under the authority of the Children of God!! If we only knew the inheritance we were blessed with. And for thousands of years since Christ was risen, I suspect that very few people reached a even a tiny faction of that inheritance. Maybe George Muller? Or some other overachiever in Christ?</p>
<p>If we speak faith-filled word all the time, instead of self-limiting and self-curse words, I think more souls will go to heaven and we will able to live longer, richer, and more victoriously with our earthly life.</p>
<p>A short while ago I learned about deliverance, and I tried to cast out the spirit of lust out of me, the difference was huge. Before that I was tempted by the spirit of lust from the inside, so no matter how many repentance, renunciation, and verbal reckoning of my death to sin, I still fell shortly later. After my self-deliverance I sensed that temptations only came from the outside, and I was able to submit to God and resist Satan, and Satan does flee very quickly, since the temptations were from the outside. See <a href="http://www.greatbiblestudy.com/moral_frailty_demons.php" target="_blank">Moral Frailty Demons</a></p>
<p>All in all, thanks Grantley, God used your site to bless me, and probably many others, and I sense that you still have so much more to do for the kingdom of God, the sky is your limit. Keep in touch.</p>
<p>Sai Kit<br />
