Hi Jane, Hellywood (not misspelled) is a good example of Satan utilizing those tiny people as pawns you refer to. I've cleaned house re: movies when the Lord has convicted me during prayer in times past. Some of those videos would be considered tame by most yet God doesn't mince words when He calls us to be like Him. If I couldn't watch it with Jesus I don't want it in my home. Kids cartoon movies are spawned in the New Age den of iniquity. A "cute & innocent" movie (box office smash) about a mouse in the old west contained dialogue between a cat and a dog where the cat had been rescued by desert rats. The cat says to the dog something to the effect of "they thought I was a god!" The dog replies "Anyone can be a god, you just have to believe it." An old Saturday morning tv cartoon still shown as reruns "The Real Ghostbusters" was a crash course on the occult. They don't even try to disguise this stuff anymore. But they censored my favourite coyote vs. roadrunner because it was violent! PG I've heard stands for Pretty Gross these days. R.Browns books are not in my estimation for the babe in Christ. I would recommend them to a Christian very well grounded in scripture and if they are finding themselves in the particular battleground she deals in. I only take the gospel as gospel but learned and applied a great deal from her works which was backed up by scripture. Regarding her personal ministry and those that of their own will would pursue the same. I believe that we had better be 110 percent certain that God is calling us in that direction. I don't mean dealing with in your face type issues that land in your lap, but pursuing that particular detestable thing of our own volition. My reasoning is Job chapter 41 regarding Leviathan which I see as a scriptural reference to Satan, not some silly crocodile as I've heard mentioned. God says in verse 8 "Lay thine hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more." Even Michael the archangel in Jude 9 contending with Satan"...durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee." If we try to stand against Satan in our own strength we will fail every time. Standing in the strength and guidance of the Holy Spirit, trusting in the Lords victory over that wicked one, Christ prevails consistently and readily utilizes His servants that are prayed up and committed to Him. Count the cost applies again, we can't serve Him half heartedly. I think the Lord directed me towards Brown's books. Dealing with bondage was a major issue and some stuff leapt off the pages at me. In particular people telling me "I believe the gospel is true, I know I'm a sinner and headed to hell with one foot in the grave but I just can't make myself ask Jesus to save me, I try, but I can't." Literal quote from an eighty year old man who told me this in tears. I was a relatively new Christian going door to door then when I met this man. He died a short time later and I hope that someone more mature and experienced than I with the bondage he was under reached him. Experiencing the same thing with another individual at a later date and having read Brown's description of the bondage that can hinder someone, I heard the same thing being said. "I get this far, I know I need Christ but I just can't form the words, I want to but I just can't, everything becomes a fog." Tears were flowing and the pained expression said it all. Pleading the blood of Christ and rebuking Satan in Jesus name while commanding a release of the person was sufficient and I saw their face light up and literally shouting, "I'll do it now!" prior to coming to Christ and the Lord working His miracle of salvation in them. He claimed he had made efforts for five years at different times and always getting to a certain point before shutting down in fear and as he termed a fog. There had to be a circumstance that permitted this bondage, possession, oppression whatever... a thorn by any other name is still a thorn. I suspect occultic as he eluded to a few issues. I don't know why such a long time frame was permitted by the Lord either before this was dealt with. I don't dare challenge His sense of timing though. I just trust Him. Regardless, I find the bible the firmest foundation to test the soundness of any literature against. Good to hear from you. God bless you and all of God's servants here. John

Hi Jane; Forgive me if I ramble on some but I have too many places to go to in this message. What I have come up with for lupus on the www is Liquid Silver ( collodial silver ), Cats Claw, Native Legend Tea, and Red Clover. Can you confirm any of these remedies. Also remember Reeva again in prayer. She almost died the other day and is tormented over a grandson that is possessed by the devil and sees yellow cats walking in front of him. She doesn't want to die until the grandson comes to salvation. Reeva was a faithful Sunday school teacher for 15 years.Her grandson's name is Stevie. Also if you are looking for a daily, positive, sermon, message, or uplifting, click on this site. I have it in my favorites file and have been overcome with joy by listening to it ...... audionet.com Todays message is two parts and titled never, never, never give up ! In Christ.gregor
