Fear Creates Anxiety

Emotions can cause a lot of problems and stress. In today’s world, it is running ramped. People are losing themselves in their emotions and do not know where to turn for help. We can say that everyone deals with different types of emotions to some degree or level. One emotion always leads to another, fear leads to anxiety, anxiety leads to depression, depression leads to crying, and crying leads to emotional despair. It is a constant circle.

Psychiatrist cannot help you; most of them are more messed up mentally then the ones they are supposedly trying to help. Imagine sitting all day listening to someone else’s problems, and then try to say to yourself that you got it all together. Whom do you think those doctors go to with their problems? Other doctors with the same problems. It is just another constant circle that never stops. It keeps going until its spinning people out of control.

And when it is all said and done, you have become angry because you are not any closer to solving the problem you started with. Why not go to the most experienced expert in this field, God! He does have all the first hand knowledge of your problems and emotions already. The best way I know how to put into words, is stop wasting your money and ask for help from the perfect Psychiatrist, God. 

Please understand I know that at times people need medication to help in certain areas. Just know that Jesus is the one that will listen to all your problems without judgement and He will continue to listen to you for the rest of your life for free.

Psalm 14:5 (NKJV)
5. There they are in great fear,
For God is with the generation of the righteous.

Psalm 94:19 (NKJV)
19. In the multitude of my anxieties within me,
Your comforts delight my soul.

Psalm 139:23 (NKJV)
23. Search me, O God, and know my heart;
Try me, and know my anxieties;

Proverbs 12:25 (NKJV)
25. Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression,
but a good word makes it glad.

Proverbs 15:13 (NKJV)
13. A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance,
but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.

Proverbs 17:22 (NKJV)
22. A merry heart does good, like medicine,
But a broken spirit dries the bones.

Proverbs 29:25 (NKJV)
25. The fear of man brings a snare,
but whoever trusts in the LORD shall be safe.

Murder 101


The word murder is defined as (KILL); one word is all it takes to explain this action. However, where did it originate? Well we will explore that question, given you some answers and some examples. The taking of ones life is selfish and wrong, whether it is your own or someone else’s. And it is something you cannot take back once it is done. It is a very permanent outcome to a temporary problem or conflict.

Satan has tricked people for so long; they cannot even see the truth. He (Satan) is the original manslayer. He does not want you or anyone else to find out that, if you are contemplating suicide and follow through with it you are killing yourself. That is a sin. However, the bad part about it is, you will not be here to ask for forgiveness. At least if you had killed someone else you can ask for forgiveness. You might be in prison, but you will not be in Hell. You might think you are in Hell. Prison is paradise compared to the real Hell.

So what are we saying? “You shall not kill”! It is very simple; do not get yourself into a situation that could cause this to happen. It only takes second to ruin the rest of your life here on earth as well as in eternity. Use your smarts and get help if you need it and do not get into gangs that will pressure you to kill someone just for fun. A life is precious; respect it, as if it is your own.

Idolatry and Sexual Perversion


The word Ritual in the Webster’s English dictionary is stated as this: a religious act or ceremony. Not all rituals are good. In our society, they are acted out in so many different ways. Through human and animal sacrifices to idols or a god. And offering yourself to an animal to please a god is wrong. They burn incense in front of statues. Black magic, white witches, crystals, and blood covenants are all wrong.

All of these and many others have entrapped so many people into believing these acts will help them in the journey through life. However, in the end, it has only gotten them a place in Hell. We have often wondered why people search for what they want in all the wrong ways. Why are there some that do what they do to other people? It is not any different in this time and place than in the thousands of years before us. Keep on reading you will see what we mean.

Exodus 22:19 (NKJV)
19. “Whoever lies with an animal shall surely be put to death.

Leviticus 18:23 (NKJV)
23. Nor shall you mate with any animal, to defile yourself with it. Nor shall any woman stand before an animal to mate with it. It is perversion.

Leviticus 20:15-16 (NKJV)
15. If a man mates with an animal, he shall surely be put to death, and you shall kill the animal.
16. If a woman approaches any animal and mates with it; you shall kill the woman and the animal. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood is upon them.

Deuteronomy 27:21 (NKJV)
21. Cursed is the one who lies with any kind of animal.’
“And all the people shall say, ‘Amen!’

Psalm 106:36-38 (NKJV)
36. They served their idols,
         Which became a snare to them.
37. They even sacrificed their sons
         And their daughters to demons,
38. And shed innocent blood,
         The blood of their sons and daughters,
         Whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan;
         And the land was polluted with blood.

Joel 3:3 (NKJV)
3. They have cast lots for My people,
have given a boy as payment for a harlot,
And sold a girl for wine, that they may drink.

2 Chronicles 33:6 (NKJV)
6. Also he caused his sons to pass through the fire in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom; he practiced soothsaying, used witchcraft and sorcery, and consulted mediums and spiritists. He did much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke Him to anger.

Jeremiah 7:31-32 (NKJV)
31. And they have built the high places of Tophet, which is in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, which I did not command, nor did it come into My heart.
32. “Therefore behold, the days are coming,” says the LORD, “when it will no more be called Tophet, or the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter; for they will bury in Tophet until there is no room.

Jeremiah 50:38 (NKJV)
38. A drought is against her waters, and they will be dried up.
For it is the land of carved images,
and they are insane with their idols.

Isaiah 2:8 (NKJV)
8 Their land is also full of idols;
They worship the work of their own hands,
That which their own fingers have made.

Zechariah 10:2 (NKJV)
2. For the idols speak delusion;
the diviners envision lies,
And tell false dreams;
They comfort in vain.
Therefore the people wend their way like sheep;
they are in trouble because there is no shepherd.

Revelation 9:20-21 (NKJV)
20. But the rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, that they should not worship demons, and idols of gold, silver, brass, stone, and wood, which can neither see nor hear nor walk.
21. And they did not repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts.

One more for the Road


Getting drunk is fun and crazy; there is no doubt in that fact. You can let out your wild side, do the things you would not do otherwise. However, think about it for a minute. What do you have to show for all that fun?

While you are thinking about it let us tell you what we have experienced. You end up broke with a deadly hangover, throwing up in the toilet, trying to remember whom you were with and what you did with whomever. And every problem you tried to escape are still haunting you the next morning. The worse part about it they seem worse when you have a pounding headache. So what do you do, go out, and start it all over again. It is a never-ending merry-go-round.

Eventually you will hurt yourself or someone else. Maybe not physically, but in other ways. Being drunk can cause you to get into situations you do not want to be in. If someone is getting you drunk just to see you act stupid, first, those people are not your friends and second it is not worth your dignity. A true friend keeps you out of harms way.

Getting drunk and partying surely is not new to this world, but that does not mean it is right or healthy. So please read the following words very carefully, they may change your mind about the subject.

Genesis 9:21 (NKJV)
21. Then he drank of the wine and was drunk, and became uncovered in his tent.

I Kings 16:9 (NKJV)
9 Now his servant Zimri, commander of half his chariots, conspired against him as he was in Tirzah drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza, steward of his house in Tirzah.

I Kings 20:16 (NKJV)
16. So they went out at noon. Meanwhile Ben-Hadad and the thirty-two kings helping him were getting drunk at the command post.

Proverbs 20:1 (NKJV)
1. Wine is a mocker,
Strong drink is a brawler,
And whoever is led astray by it is not wise.

Proverbs 23:21 (NKJV)
21. For the drunkard and the glutton will come to poverty,
And drowsiness will clothe a man with rags.

Proverbs 23:29-35 (NKJV)
29. Who has woe?
Who has sorrow?
Who has contentions?
Who has complaints?
Who has wounds without cause?
Who has redness of eyes?
30. Those who linger long at the wine,
Those who go in search of mixed wine.
31. Do not look on the wine when it is red,
When it sparkles in the cup,
When it swirls around smoothly;
32. At the last it bites like a serpent,
And stings like a viper.
33. Your eyes will see strange things,
And your heart will utter perverse things.
34. Yes, you will be like one who lies down in the midst of the sea,
Or like one who lies at the top of the mast, saying:
"They have struck me, but I was not hurt; They have beaten me, but I did not feel it. When shall I awake, that I may seek another drink?"

Isaiah 5:11 (NKJV)
11. Woe to those who rise early in the morning,
That they may follow intoxicating drink;
Who continue until night, till wine inflames them!

Isaiah 28:7-8 (NKJV)
7. But they also have erred through wine,
And through intoxicating drink are out of the way;
The priest and the prophet have erred through intoxicating drink,
They are swallowed up by wine,
They are out of the way through intoxicating drink;
They err in vision, they stumble in judgment.
8 For all tables are full of vomit and filth;
No place is clean.

I Thessalonians 5:5-7 (NKJV)
5. You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness.
6. Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober.
7. For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night.

Looking for Love


Sexual wants, needs, desires, and urges. The many things this world knows all too well. The problem is people use sex and turn it into a sick perverted act. It was not meant to be like that.

Prostitution is one of the many ways of getting enough money to make it from day to day, hour by hour. Some do it because they are forced into it, others because they have no one to help them and they need money, and there are some who do it to support their drug habits.

Committing adultery and sleeping with your wife's sister or friend seems to be the norm with men. Don't get me wrong women do it just as much as men now a days.

I have to make one thing very clear while on the subject of sex, God does not hate homosexuals. It makes me so angry when people protest against gay people and hold up signs that say, “God hates gays”. He disapproves of their actions not them. Nowhere does it say God hates the person.

Just remember there’s a better path and a more respectful way to go about having sex. It is called falling in love and having a wedding. And I know people don’t want to hear this but marriage was intended to be between a man and a woman. You will see that in the words to follow all the ways sex has been made to look all right outside of marriage. It is not all right for one reason it is not safe. You can still get into situations that can end badly.

Genesis 38:16 (NKJV)
16 Then he turned to her by the way, and said, “Please let me come in to you”; for he did not know that, she was his daughter-in-law. So she said, “What will you give me, that you may come in to me?”

Genesis 38:21 (NKJV)
21 Then he asked the men of that place, saying, “Where is the harlot who was openly by the roadside?” And they said, “There was no harlot in this place.”

Exodus 20:14 (NKJV)
14 “You shall not commit adultery.

 Leviticus 18:18 (NKJV)
18 Nor shall you take a woman as a rival to her sister, to uncover her nakedness while the other is alive.

Leviticus 18:22 (NKJV)
22 You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination.

Leviticus 20:13 (NKJV)
13 If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them.

Deuteronomy 27:20 (NKJV)
20 Cursed is the one who lies with his father’s wife, because he has uncovered his father’s bed.’
“And all the people shall say, ‘Amen!’

Deuteronomy 27:22 (NKJV)
22 Cursed is the one who lies with his sister, the daughter of his father or the daughter of his mother.’
“And all the people shall say, ‘Amen!’

Romans 1:26-28 (NKJV)
26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature.
27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting;

I Corinthians 6:9-10 (NKJV
9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites,
10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.

1 Corinthians 6:18 (NKJV)
18 Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.

Hebrews 13:4 (NKJV)
4 Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge.

Self-mutilation, Tattooing, and Piercings


Some people cut themselves, some people feel the need to pierce and tattoo their entire bodies. This is not the first generation to do these types of things. Self-mutilation, tattooing, and piercing happened a long time ago. Now they're called, "Body Mods." The only reason I decided to put this link in here is to show what people do to themselves, 60 Insane Body Modifications (Caution Viewing for Young Children) It is truly unbelievable what people will do to themselves.


Right now somewhere out there in our world is someone who is full of anger, confusion, hatred, and just not knowing what to do. They may do things that are harmful to themselves to get attention or may be to get relief from the turmoil inside. Then they become embarrassed and remorseful, but not all of them are sorry for their actions. Still no one should ever be made to feel unwanted. Jesus loved "everyone" when He died for us.


Exodus 21:6 (NKJV)
6. then his master shall bring him to the judges. He shall also bring him to the door, or to the doorpost, and his master shall pierce his ear with an awl; and he shall serve him forever.

Leviticus 19:28 (NKJV)
28. You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor tattoo any marks on you: I am the LORD.

Deuteronomy 15:17 (NKJV)
17. then you shall take an awl and thrust it through his ear to the door, and he shall be your servant forever. Also to your female servant you shall do likewise.

I Kings 18:28 (NKJV)
28. So they cried aloud, and cut themselves, as was their custom, with knives and lances, until the blood gushed out on them.

Mark 5:5 (NKJV)
5. And always, night and day, he was in the mountains and in the tombs, crying out and cutting himself with stones.

Deal with the Devil

Trying to contact dead people, family members or trying to look into your future is asking for trouble. You see, when you call on those demon spirits they will show up. They are very real and you will be the one who is tormented by them. You will soon find yourself being haunted by the same demon spirits you so wanted answers from and never got. If you have been in contact with ghosts or the afterlife, I would be extremely scared if I were you. It’s not something to play with, it’s not a game.

The truth is you will never get a true answer about your life from a fortuneteller or medium. Reading your horoscope is just a gateway the devil uses to get you to want more and then he has you. All the devil can do is counterfeit what is real. The only one you will ever get a true answer from is God and His word, the Bible. 

Exodus 7:11 (NKJV)
11. But Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers; so the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.

Exodus 8:18-19 (NKJV)
18. Now the magicians so worked with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not. So there were lice on man and beast.
19. Then the magicians said to Pharaoh, “This is the finger of God.” But Pharaoh’s heart grew hard, and he did not heed them, just as the LORD had said.

Exodus 22:18 (NKJV)
18. “You shall not permit a sorceress to live.

Leviticus 19:26 (NKJV)
26 You shall not eat anything with the blood, nor shall you practice divination or soothsaying.

Leviticus 19:31 (NKJV)
31. Give no regard to mediums and familiar spirits; do not seek after them, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God.

Leviticus 20:27 (NKJV)
27. A man or a woman who is a medium, or who has familiar spirits, shall surely be put to death; they shall stone them with stones. Their blood shall be upon them.’”

I Samuel 28:7-8 (NKJV)
7. Then Saul said to his servants, “Find me a woman who is a medium, that I may go to her and inquire of her.” And his servants said to him, “In fact, there is a woman who is a medium at En Dor.”
8. So Saul disguised himself and put on other clothes, and he went, and two men with him; and they came to the woman by night. And he said, “Please conduct a séance for me, and bring up for me the one I shall name to you.”

Acts 19:19 (NKJV)
19. Also, many of those who had practiced magic brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all. And they counted up the value of them, and it totaled fifty thousand pieces of silver.

Historic Repeats

So many people seem to think they have cornered the market on the newest thing happening. They think that they have thought up new ways of doing everything. I used to think that way when I was younger. They are the ones who believe they started this trend or that fad.

All the partying, drinking, and sleeping around, the clothes you wear, and the hairstyle and makeup you have is probably not a new trend. Even the same kinds of cars are becoming popular again. And I'm sure we all have something from our past that we kept, that if any of us goes into a store or mall we will see the same type of item or clothing.

The truth of it is there is nothing that happens on this earth, in this time and place that has not happened before. Instead of just telling you where to find the information, I wanted to show you. Whether you believe it is totally up to you.

Ecclesiastes 1:9-10 (NKJV)
9. That which has been is what will be,
That which is done is what will be done,
And there is nothing new under the sun.
10. Is there anything of which it may be said, "See, this is new"?
It has already been in ancient times before us.

Ecclesiastes 3:15 (NKJV)
15. That which is has already been,
And what is to be has already been;
And God requires an account of what is past.
