Deceived by Satan and unable to sense the Presence of
Adonai their Creator, the Father of Lies taught the Heavenly creatures how to rebel against Adonai.
As a result of going along with Lucifer’s purpose, the angels began to take on Satan’s nature and eventually became arch-enemies of God.
Lucifer’s strategy hasn’t changed from the time of his fall. He is a creature with ambush-style practices. Satan entices his victims with subtle rewards that are appealing or exciting and that are fleshly pleasures. He uses these demonic seductions to get his victims separated from God on their own accord.

Satan wants to do the same thing to the Human Race.

For Adonai knew that their idols weren’t anything within themselves, but the images were spiritual magnets for the congregating demon spirits. Furthermore, when Israel brought the idols of pagan nations, they became co-dependent of the true nature behind the personality of that deity of the Idol.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
FOX network is making their own declaration revealing their insight into how spirit beings travel from the spirit realm into the natural realm by releasing their movie entitled “The Passage.”
While the movie might shock the world, the believing body of Christ has known this truth for thousands of years. Furthermore, the followers of Yeshua the Jewish Messiah, Jesus Christ of Nazareth have spiritual authority over this type of activity. With that said, during one of our services, a member of the ministry asked me if I heard about Disney’s new movie entitled, “Artemis”.

The Winter Solstice is the time of the year, that marks the onset of winter, at the time of the shortest day, about December 22 in the northern hemisphere and June 21 in the southern hemisphere. The setting of the date for Christmas was selected to fall on the pagan feast of Saturnalia so that the Pagans could continue their worship of their god, Saturn. Overview
Saturnalia was an ancient Roman festival in honor of the god Saturn, held on 17 December of the Julian calendar and later expanded with festivities through to 23 December. The term “merrymaking” and the exchanging of gifts both were the customs originating from the feast honoring the heathen god Saturn.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Gideon, Isaiah, and Jeremiah are recorded throughout the Bible warning the people of God to destroy their images.
2 Corinthians 3:18
(CJB) 18 So all of us, with faces unveiled, see as in a mirror the glory of the Lord; and we are being changed into his very image, from one degree of glory to the next, by ADONAI the Spirit.
The war between the Kingdoms of Light and Darkness continues today. The lines are drawn and the armies are ready to engage. Believers are prepared to meet the invasion of Satan and his cohorts with God’s intercessors’ prayer intervention. We must create a place for the Lord to occupy.
The Bible teaches us that those nations, who protect the territories of the Lord will prosper and have good success.
From the Book of Genesis to the Book of Revelation, Adonai will support His loyal army who join Him in the battle against the army of Lucifer, the dragon who operate in the principalities above the nations.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Satan has veiled the minds of the lost” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:17|text_align:left|color:%23822a13″][vc_single_image image=”10787″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow_3d”][vc_column_text]The prince of the air has the ability to spiritually harden the minds of those who are missing the whole of the Gospel. He throws a veil over their eyes to blind them from learning the fullness of Christ. The Bible is about preaching Christ and not preaching about us.
2 Corinthians 4:3-5
(NLT) 3 If the Good News we preach is hidden behind a veil, it is hidden only from people who are perishing. 4 Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don’t understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God.
5 You see, we don’t go around preaching about ourselves. We preach that Jesus Christ is Lord, and we ourselves are your servants for Jesus’ sake.
τυφλόω tuphlóō; To blind. In the NT, only figuratively with the acc. (John 12:40; 2 Cor. 4:4; 1 John 2:11; Sept.: Is. 42:19).
‘to harden spiritually.’
One of the most effective war tactics employed by Satan is to turn the focus of the Gospel away from Christ but to point the emphasis on man. The preacher will teach how much God loves us, rather than how much we should love The Lord. Then “faith” will deviate from what we should do for the Lord, to what the Lord will do for us.

Knowing God is certainly more than just knowing about Him (John 6:42; 7:28). It is knowing the relation that He has with the Father (John 10:38; 14:31ff.). He who knows God sees Him (John 14:7ff.). He who believes also knows (John 5:24; 6:60ff.) and he who knows believes (John 10:38; 14:20). Without faith one cannot know either initially or progressively (John 16:30; 17:7, 8).[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”A servants Heart” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:17|text_align:left|color:%23822a14″][vc_column_text]The ancient Dragon sets up a command post throughout the world to steal each seed of truth that is planted in the heart of any person, who hears the Word of God. Unfortunately, if the heart isn’t suitable ground the devil snatches up that word which was sown.
The preparation of the heart of the believer is to take unto us the Mind of Christ through humility, holiness, and as servants to Yeshua the Messiah; not the other way around.
Christ wants us to be strong in the power of His Might because tough times don’t last, but spiritually tough people do.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”10790″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow_3d”][vc_column_text]Ephesians 3:14-21
(ESV) Prayer for Spiritual Strength
14 For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, 16 that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 19 and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
20 Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

The date of this sabbat varies from December 20 to December 23 depending on the year in the Gregorian calendar. The winter solstice is celebrated at this time in the northern hemisphere but it is now time to celebrate the summer solstice (Litha) in the southern hemisphere due to the seasonal differences.
Yule, (pronounced EWE-elle) is when the dark half of the year relinquishes to the light half. Starting the next morning at sunrise, the sun climbs just a little higher and stays a little longer in the sky each day. Known as Solstice Night, or the longest night of the year, the sun’s “rebirth” was celebrated with much joy. On this night, our ancestors celebrated the rebirth of the Oak King, the Sun King, the Giver of Life that warmed the frozen Earth. From this day forward, the days would become longer.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The ceremonial Yule log was the highlight of the Solstice festival. In accordance with tradition, the log must either have been harvested from the householder’s land or given as a gift… it must never have been bought. Once dragged into the house and placed in the fireplace it was decorated in seasonal greenery, doused with cider or ale, and dusted with flour before set ablaze by a piece of last years log, (held onto for just this purpose). The log would burn throughout the night, then smolder for 12 days after before being ceremonially put out. Ash is the traditional wood of the Yule log. It is the sacred world tree of the Teutons, known as Yggdrasil. An herb of the Sun, Ash brings light into the hearth at the Solstice.
A different type of Yule log, and perhaps one more suitable for modern practitioners would be the type that is used as a base to hold three candles. Find a smaller branch of oak or pine, and flatten one side so it sets upright. Drill three holes in the top side to hold red, green, and white (season), green, gold, and black (the Sun God), or white, red, and black (the Great Goddess). Continue to decorate with greenery, red and gold bows, rosebuds, cloves, and dust with flour.
Many customs created around Yule are identified with Christmas today. If you decorate your home with a Yule tree, holly or candles, you are following some of these old traditions. The Yule log, (usually made from a piece of wood saved from the previous year) is burned in the fire to symbolize the Newborn Sun/Son.
Deities of Yule: All Newborn Gods, Sun Gods, Mother
Goddesses, and Triple Goddesses. The best known would be the Dagda, and Brighid, the daughter of the Dagda. Brighid taught the smiths the arts of fire tending and the secrets of metal work. Brighid’s flame, like the flame of the new light, pierces the darkness of the spirit and mind, while the Dagda’s cauldron assures that Nature will always provide for all the children.
