LUCIFER’S STORY IS ENDING!
Saturday, February 18th, 2012THE MEANING OF THE CONSTELLATIONS IN THE HEAVENS
by LORI CLAYTONThere is a story written in plain sight of every human that tells us of Jesus who is the Christ the savior of mankind. It is not in a book, on paper between two leather covers. It is not on a t-shirt. It is not on billboards or church signs. It is not in church buildings. It is not taught in churches, or in bars, or on college campuses. The story hidden in plain sight has been all but lost to this generation. There has been great effort made to keep you from seeing, learning, and teaching others about it. It has been clouded with false ideas and distorted so that Christians would shy away from it. The story written in plain sight tells us of a time when there was a revolt against our Heavenly Father, and the plan to make all things right. It tells of a coming Messiah who would be born of a Virgin and be from the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. He would overcome enemies and redeem a group of humans and then he would destroy the evil one. The story goes on to tell that our Messiah would not go unscathed as he would suffer a bruised heel, in comparison to the wounded head of this evil enemy. The story also tells of the people who invite Him to be their savior that they were not left powerless, but that they have power, and tools to subdue this enemy until all is finished. It has been written since before the time of Adam, and it is time for us to read what was written.
Jesus said: Luke 21:28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.KJV
Ps 19:1-9 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.6 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.7 The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.8 The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.9 The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.KJV
Ps 8:3-4 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; 4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? KJV
The story has been written and declared above our heads. Everything we need to know, God’s laws, statute, the past, the future, the present, it is all written where it cannot be erased. I once heard a post modernist declare that the Bible is just a bunch of stories and poems and not to be taken literally. I wonder if he would not take literally a right hook to the face. Being a spokesperson for satan he is probably used to that kind of non literal communication. You can throw out the pages in your Bible, but you cannot erase the heavens. You can lie about what the Bible says, but you cannot lie about what the heavens say. You can’t rearrange the words of the stars, their names, or the constellations that they make up. This is one historical constant; every ancient culture has in common, the star names and meanings. It is protected from tampering as we can’t rearrange the stars. So if one denies the bible, one then has to deny the stellar voice as well.
WHAT IS COURAGE?

THOUGHTS OF A MILITARY WIFE WITH FIVE CHILDREN – HEATHER TRAVITZ
“When you live life with honesty and courage nothing is out of reach.”

What is COURAGE?
Courage is the power to let go of the familiar. ~Raymond Lindquist
My personal definition of courage would be the ability to do or be your BEST as you face fear and uncertainty in all areas of life. Courage can be loud or soft, and I’ve found the latter can be more difficult for me personally. When presented with the need oftimes of quiet courage, I quite often think of the old saying, “Keep Calm and Carry on”. Other times, wejust ‘live out loud” and make our voices heard! When we are not courageous, we give others our personalpower and they will have a hand in the play by play of OUR lives! Living courageously, whether loud or quiet, can be daunting, but is necessary to successfully live our dreams and fulfill our destiny and potential for greatness!
Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear. ~Ambrose Redmoon
Courage is a soldier leaving his family to fight in a war far from home!
Courage is saying NO!
Courage is standing up against an abuser!
Courage is forgiving the unforgivable to free yourself!
Courage is speaking up when you feel strongly!
Courage is asking for what you need!
Courage is pursuing your dreams even if no one else sees them yet!
Courage is sharing your beliefs when you may be ridiculed for what you believe!
Courage is also keeping quiet when you know your words will fall on deaf ears!
Courage is standing up for what is right, even if you stand alone!
There are two real life types of courage in life, physical and moral. Both are important. Being brave and bold in both of these areas as you live is clear courage.
Physical courage is demonstrated when you face your fear, pain or hardship!
Moral courage is how you act according to your morals and beliefs in the face opposition or disbelief.
Being courageous in no way means you are fearless, it means that in spite of your fear, you will stand up and fight for what you feel and know is right. Even when that means others may turn against you. When this happens, it typically will turn out better than you may think possible.
As hard as it may be to believe at the time, these acts of courage will enrich your life! They will help you remove the toxins in your life that are secretly bringing you down or dragging you away from your beliefs! And, in turn, when we surround ourselves with like-minded and successfully determined people, we will raise our own bar for courage and success!
1 Corinthians 16:13 NET “Stay alert, stand firm in the faith, show courage, be strong”
We must face events with courage to truly live! Being bold and standing firm with our personal and spiritual beliefs is a must! As you begin to live life in a courageous way, there are always going to be trials and hardships to be faced. But you can be assured that these are worth the effort at the end of each day!
As we live boldly and face hurdles and hardships with courage, it is imperative that we use our faith in times of physical or emotional need!
FAITH DEMANDS COURAGE!
Personally, I have been praying about a situation in my life, and as I am writing this, and doing some reflection, I see that I am not facing the situation with courage due to ongoing feelings of powerlessness (that attack us all, if we are honest). So I am looking now for ways of creating MORE power, for myself and my husband. Ways, Where we can be included in decisions that are being made and our voices will be heard. {If I find my courage, I know that no matter the outcome, I will have faced the situation head on and my voice will be heard!}So, even before finishing this article, I was compelled to make contact with those in this situation, to speak up, using respect and facts to make our stance clear! ….. I can’t describe the feeling of empowerment of that one action!
So, as you can see, it is important that we use courage as a stepping stone in life! In doing this, it will bring strength and success in the areas of life that we wish to achieve it! We will still have trials and hurdles to face, but when we are willing to push ourselves past those things; we will finally live in honor and for ourselves and our God! When we use courage to direct us in life, not fear of failure or pain, we will soar to heights we’ve never known possible!
Courage builds character and confidence! Unlocking your courage will open doors you didn’t know were closed! When you live life with honesty and courage nothing is out of reach. Our paths are already carved; success is ours to be had! Have the COURAGE to live the dream God has placed in your heart! Don’t allow fears or past failures to bury it!
Remember, When you live life with honesty and courage nothing is out of reach!
