How to Plot Your Victory Over Strongholds like Shame, Fear & Control

I have been immersed in a very important study recently - The overcoming of strongholds and taking our thoughts captive. These strongholds include shame, fear and control which lead to false beliefs/identities and could very well result in a forfeiture of your divine inheritance in this life.

The Lord has said, "My people perish for a lack of knowledge or understanding" (Hosea 4:6). In its proper context, that verse is pregnant with so much meaning, and I feel its significance and urgency for today more than ever.

If you are like me, or the other 80 - 90% of Americans that wrestle mightily with these strongholds, I urge you to look into what it will take to confront and fully overcome shame, fear and control. Life is too short to remain fettered in any way to things that Jesus gave us Himself to be free from now.

The following PDF is a great starter resource to take an inventory of your life in order to determine to what degree we have allowed shame, fear and control to steal, kill and destroy our destinies in the Lord.

Crush shame, fear & control under your Feet

2014 is the year to cast off every form of bondage known to man. For those in Christ, our minds and bodies are destined for renewal (Roman 12). Submit yourself to this goal and experience the exhilaration of an unchained life in Jesus.

Spiritual warfare is so real, whether you believe it or are actively engaged in it or not! I have so much to say on this topic, but I will let a dear mentor, Derek Prince, who although he has long been departed (went to be with the Lord in 2003), yet he still speaks…

Jesus Paid it All and Would Have You Be Totally FREE!

If anyone has any questions or stories about spiritual warfare or anything else for that matter, please feel free to share those in the comments section here. I would love to hear from you! I only ask that your comments come from a place of sincerity.

I am in the midst of deep research into these matters, and the Lord is teaching me many things. I readily admit that I don't have all the answers, but I'm willing to study like a Berean to get to the truth.

The Shemitah Year Has Arrived...

Pay attention to 7 year cycles. These are a signature and calling card of Yahweh. The Books of Leviticus and Deuteronomy outline such cycles in great detail.

Consider the most recent cycles witnessed in America:

2001:  9/11 and the sharpest stock market collapse since the Great Depression (see Hebrew calendar for Elul 29)…check out September 17th on Gregorian calendar

2008:  Housing Market collapse and Great Recession (see Hebrew calendar for Elul 29)…check out September 29th

2015:  ???  (see Hebrew calendar for Elul 29)…anticipate something on September 11th (9/11 is a Friday while September 13th is the actual date on the Hebrew calendar for Elul 29)

The world is already burning and America continues to ignore its dire need for deep repentance. The bias of normalcy prevailing in America will not endure (even historical trends and cycles in our nation support this) as we are in no way exempt from divine judgment for our national sins. Sadly, most people will not heed any warnings until grave danger arrives at their doorstep. I suppose I should not be at all surprised though as men do this to their peril all the time in regards to eternity and the security of their own souls. It is only compounded by the fact that so few blessed with an influential platform passionately preach the whole counsel (i.e. repentance, justice, holiness, wrath in conjunction with love, grace and mercy) of God.

When will the apathy end? I believe we might find out as we approach September of next year.

Here is an excellent article (with some intriguing commentary). It is brief and a great introduction to this highly controversial and contentious issue of biblical prophecy.

What Does the Biblical Shemitah Hold for 2015?

Must See Documentary for All Truth Seekers

My #1 documentary for sorting fact from fiction on matters of world history over the last 2k years and where current events are taking us is embedded below. My understanding of the world I live in, much like the narrator of this project, experienced a total systems crash after grasping even some of this information.

Future entries will largely cover how I am now working to put my awakening to our true reality towards positive, useful ends. More than anything, I am now compelled to share the truth and warn others that severe judgment is coming. Though it may be virtually impossible to stem the tide of its coming, there remains great HOPE. Among all the most difficult, harsh judgments decreed by the prophets (Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel and Jesus), you will find this unifying theme:  A majestic flow of mercy and hope for Yahweh's elect remnant, His blood-bought adopted sons and daughters. While we may be able to deceive ourselves, the Lord knows those who are truly His (Matthew 7: 21-23). Let us judge ourselves by Jesus' standards. Do we love and desire God more than anything? Do we hate what God hates and love what God loves? Do we hunger for righteousness and thirst for loved ones and even strangers to know His salvation? Are our will, affections and interests radically aligned to His Kingdom coming on the earth? These are some tests to determine if our faith is merely cultural and built on false hope or if it is true and able to stand the coming testing of our souls.

The truth contained in this documentary is so revelatory, it should be required viewing for any truth seeker. It will require an open mind and courage to watch the entire video, because I guarantee that some of your most cherished beliefs about the world you live in will be challenged to their core. 

A New Order of the Ages: Secret Societies and Prophecy

I have to strongly recommend subscribing to Leonard Ulrich's youtube channel. He has to be the most humble, unassuming and talented researcher I have encountered online. The ease and competence with which he handles things that virtually every mainline denomination won't touch with a ten foot pole is inspiring.


Final thought:  Whether we like to admit it or not, America was birthed out of rebellion and a principality of rebellion still rules and grips our national identity. So many Americans are bewitched by this prideful, anti-christ spirit of rebellion which picked up great steam and has gone off the rails since 1963 (which just so happens to be the year the Bible, and more specifically the Mosaic Law, was banished from our cultural institutions). 

Son of man, you are living among a rebellious people. They have eyes to see but do not see and ears to hear but do not hear, for they are a rebellious people. (Ezekiel 12:2)


For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornnessis as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king. (1 Samuel 15:23)

The Convergence of the Blood Moons with the Shemitah

Without a doubt, it appears that Yahweh is trying to warn His people, and those far from Him, that treacherous times have arrived for our nation.

Will we have the patience, wisdom and humility to listen (so as to gain understanding) to what He is saying through Messianic prophets, signs in the heavens and in the earth below? I sure hope so because I am convinced that the next 1-2 years will bring forth the greatest tumult America has ever known in her short history. The faithful remnant will either grow to critical mass in awakening and revival born out of deep repentance or judgment will sweep over the land with astonishing speed and severity. Even if genuine repentance were to come to America, our nation appears to have taken on the identity of the daughter of (Mystery) Babylon prophesied in the Scriptures. It may be too late to recover from the evil we have promulgated in the world (legalized abortion since '73, bullying other nations to legalize on-demand abortion, unjust wars of aggression, unjust proxy wars, gross sexual immorality, promoting our immorality to the ends of the earth, financial treachery in the form of $20 trillion national debt, and the list goes on and on).


What is the Shemitah?

Deuteronomy 15 “At the end of every seven years you shall grant a release of debts. 2 And this is the form of the release: Every creditor who has lent anything to his neighbor shall release it; he shall not require it of his neighbor or his brother, because it is called the Lord’s release. 3 Of a foreigner you may require it; but you shall give up your claim to what is owed by your brother, 4 except when there may be no poor among you; for the Lord will greatly bless you in the land which the Lord your God is giving you to possess as an inheritance— 5 only if you carefully obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe with care all these commandments which I command you today. 6 For the Lord your God will bless you just as He promised you; you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow; you shall reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over you.

7 “If there is among you a poor man of your brethren, within any of the gates in your land which the Lord your God is giving you, you shall not harden your heart nor shut your hand from your poor brother,8 but you shall open your hand wide to him and willingly lend him sufficient for his need, whatever he needs. 9 Beware lest there be a wicked thought in your heart, saying, ‘The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand,’ and your eye be evil against your poor brother and you give him nothing, and he cry out to the Lord against you, and it become sin among you. 10 You shall surely give to him, and your heart should not be grieved when you give to him, because for this thing the Lord your God will bless you in all your works and in all to which you put your hand. 11 For the poor will never cease from the land; therefore I command you, saying, ‘You shall open your hand wide to your brother, to your poor and your needy, in your land.’

Deuteronomy 28 describes both the blessings for obeying the shemitah as well as the curses for perverting justice.

Messianic Rabbi Cahn gives multiple evidences and story lines to demonstrate the power and reach of these fixed shemitah blessings/curses. This truly is a mystery, and one that will certainly stretch your mind and view of God's personal fingerprints throughout (recent) history. The 2nd link leads to a video which outlines the 4 Blood Moons, but beyond that and few people realize this, there are 4-6 additional super signs in the heavens to ponder in the next 2-4 years.

The Hiddenness of God

The Truth is always out there to be discovered, but you will soon find that God has done some extraordinary things to bury and conceal it from the proud and haughty (click this link for outstanding supplementary article). His prerequisites to finding Truth (in all its forms, including the most glorious Personification of the Word made flesh) must first be acknowledged and obeyed in humility before the journey can even really begin.


It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honor of kings is to search out a matter.  (Proverbs 25:2)

Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.  (Jeremiah 33:3)

Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but He shall reveal his secrets unto his servants the prophets.  (Amos 3:7)

And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.  (Luke 8:10)

He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.  (Matthew 13:11)

Jesus answered him, I spoke openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing.  (John 18:20)

Behold, I come like a thief! Blessed is the one who stays awake and remains clothed, so as not to go naked and be shamefully exposed.  (Revelation 16:15)


Mysteries of the (end) times and seasons are meant to be known, but only by them that have qualified themselves (in Jesus) to understand the deep things of God. The Father delights to reveal His plans to His children who diligently seek Him. To avoid the judgment of seeing yet never perceiving and hearing but never understanding, you must love the Lord and desire the truth He reveals more than anything else. For without faith is it impossible to please Him; for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.  (Hebrews 11:6)

The question is: What group are you in? Those permitted to know the signs of the times and the secrets of the kingdom or the uninformed outsider who was not watching and allowed the thief to break in?

There is quickly approaching a time that a casual follower of Jesus can no longer afford to remain in the dark and unconcerned about the season we are entering. Intense persecution of all who profess Jesus' name may not be here yet, but be warned that it is coming very soon. Our culture has utterly embraced depravity. It now calls evil good and good evil (Isaiah 5:20). Whenever this happens in a society, you have His promise marked through history that time is short and the Remnant must come out and be holy. Let us not be destroyed due to lack of knowledge or understanding. Rather, be sober, vigilant and watching for Yahweh has and will provide a way of escape for those who trust Him.

The Reality of a Cosmic War

From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible is a drama of stories about Satan working to oppose and obstruct the purposes of God. As fresh revelation was passed down orally or penned by the prophets, Satan and his fallen angelic armies went about constructing their war plans for earth and its inhabitants, who they swore to only subjugate and dominate; never serve.

Follow with me as I outline only a few story lines where we can find Satan working to kill, destroy and corrupt the human line.

1. Genesis 3:  Satan succeeds in breaking man's perfect relationship with Yahweh; God promises and delivers redemption and restoration to all who exercise repentance and faith in Jesus. 
2. Genesis 6:  Satan sends some of his soldiers to corrupt the human genome. These fallen angels left their proper estate (2nd heaven), clothed themselves with flesh (changed shape and substance) and had sexual relations with women and animals to hybridize the human race (as well as creation in general) so the Messiah's blood line would become completely contaminated, and He would not be able to manifest as the Son of Man on earth "to crush the serpent's head." God responds with the Flood of Noah. Satan was allowed to get close to his goal, but Yahweh is able to make all things (even the impossible) new!
3. Genesis 11:  Satan raises up his newest version of the serpent's seed (see Genesis 3:15) post-flood in Nimrod. They succeed in causing the whole world to rebel against Yahweh at the Tower of Babel. Humanity is enslaved to do Satan's will until God intervenes to judge the world with the confusion of languages (so they would discontinue their work on their tower, a star gate into heaven) and enforced dispersion over the whole face of the earth. Out of the 70 nations and tongues created that day, Yahweh would choose only one group to be His peculiar and special people--the Hebrews. The other gentile nations were forfeited (for a prolonged season) and placed under fallen dominions and authorities to follow and be dominated by worthless "gods" which was part of the dispersion judgment of these peoples who rebelled with Nimrod. In essence, Yahweh's decision to invest and use one nation out of 70 was Him saying, Lucifer, let me totally stack the deck in your favor; you will still be crushed.
4. Exodus 5:  Satan uses Pharaoh and Egypt to oppress the growing Hebrew people with great cruelty. Male israelite babies have been sacrificed in the Nile due to a diabolical depopulation agenda perpetrated against Israel. Yahweh raises up His chosen leader, Moses. 10 great plagues of warning/judgment ultimately lead to Pharaoh agreeing to send Israel away into the wilderness. However, Satan's chosen representative on earth, against all good reason, decides to pursue Israel to wipe them out in the wilderness. Instead, God's judgment is sealed against them with the crushing power of the Red Sea drowning Pharaoh's forces.
5. Numbers 13:  During the 400 years that Israel spent growing as a nation under the yoke of slavery (only about 200 years actually spent in cruel forced labor) in Egypt, Satan's schemes focus in on the peoples (Canaanites - which makes for a fascinating story all its own) living in the land Yahweh promised Abraham. A minefield of mighty Nephilim reproduce there to await the arrival of Moses, Joshua and Caleb. The 10 spies along with Joshua and Caleb come back to give the Hebrew nation their report of the land. 2 reports are given. The 10 spies tell their nation what they saw, and by the time everyone digests their "evil" report, Joshua and Caleb have no chance to convince them to obey God's command to go in and wipe these Nephilim tribes out at once. The people were too busy quaking in fear and crapping their pants, and this came on the heels of just seeing Yahweh deliver them out of Egypt supernaturally with immeasurable power and majesty. God then forces His people to wander the wilderness for 40 years as a judgment for their cowardly lack of obedience. Once all the cowardly, disobedient men have fallen in the wilderness, Yahweh gives Joshua the green light to go in, totally destroy the Nephilim tribes and take possession of Israel's promised land. God put a demoralizing and paralyzing fear of His people into the hearts of these wicked hybrid tribes. Yahweh's hosts and servants assisted Israel with confusing and annihilating almost all of these satanic serpent seed. 

Now, it is difficult to miss the undeniable thread of Satan's moves and Yahweh's counter moves throughout the entire story. The whole Bible and all of history attest to the reality of this Cosmic War. It has been raging in the heavens and spilling over onto earth since Lucifer rebelled and took a third of the angels with him. 

Let's fast forward to our recent past and consider the Nazi movement of the 1930s and '40s. Can we find a satanic agenda in what Hitler was trying to accomplish on earth in those days? Was Hitler working as a willing and devoted representative of Satan in our recent past? Who was his primary target? Although the Jews were not dwelling in their homeland, Hitler waged a demonic holy war to hunt and exterminate them (along with stealing all their wealth to pile up funds for further conquest) everywhere his war machine tread. History is replete with anti-christ figures waging war with Israel to wipe them all out. It's a miracle of miracles that the Jewish people have been largely gathered back into their homeland in the last century. How did they survive? How did their culture and language survive such an extensive multi-millenia diaspora? 

Israel is again in deep trouble today. The Arab Spring nations threaten to wipe them off the map openly in the press. These incessant and real threats are hints, that at its core, Islam is not the peaceful religion our media would have us to believe it is. The will of Allah seems directly and diametrically opposed to that of Yahweh when it comes to the peace and security of His chosen people, Israel. (Special Note: Divine Judgment as outlined in Blessings/Curses of Deuteronomy 28 and Jesus' words upon entering Jerusalem during Passion Week notwithstanding). The truth is that sometimes Yahweh does use gentile nations to chasten and punish a people bent on rebelling against Him even against all their better judgment and vivid imagery of Deuteronomy 28. He allowed it with the Assyrians, Babylonians and Persians in recorded history.

Are conflicts in the Middle East today poised to fulfill more remaining Bible prophecy? Time will tell I suppose. And honestly, I don't think we will have to wait long to find out.

Disclaimer:  Much of the details listed above in points # 2 & 3 that you cannot find in the Bible were taken directly from 1 Enoch and the Book of Jasher (both apocryphal texts highly valued by the ancient Hebrews and Jews of Jesus' day). Jasher is validated by at least 3 explicit references in Old Testament documents. The highly mysterious and misunderstood New Testament book of Jude is largely a tribute and re-telling of 1 Enoch. Jude even quotes a verse from 1 Enoch verbatim at one point. 2 Peter 2:4 also gives 1 Enoch a clear shout-out to the fact that Jews in Jesus' day venerated the text profusely (to help understand the evils of the antediluvian world). Portions of both were also found amongst the Dead Sea Scrolls in Qumran.

References to things such as the 2nd heaven (or even 3rd heaven) can be verified and validated directly from Scripture. Many people believe that Satan's headquarters are in hell. That is not true. He and his fallen army are the princes and powers of the air. They dwell in the 2nd heaven. References to angels being able to shape shift, manipulate matter and interact with humans in our physical dimension are replete throughout Scripture.

Here are my 3 favorite extra-biblical books for further study on spiritual warfare all of which are written by Derek Prince (each speaks at length about the 1st, 2nd & 3rd heavens with Bible references).

The Awakening as Depicted in America's National Harbor

For anyone that has not seen it, I suggest checking out:

"The Awakening" Monument in our National Harbor

What is this "awakening" depicting? Who is this giant bearded god rising up out of the ground, and why is this bizarre imagery in our national harbor?

Could this be Nimrod/Gilgamesh? I took the red pill a while back, and every day I uncover more in my research that leads me to believe that our reality is now the Twilight Zone. Does anyone else find these images incredibly odd or disturbing? 

If you enjoy research, feel free to study what our American troops uncovered in Iraq in the year 2003. We may not have found plutonium-enriched weapons of mass destruction (which was never the true mission anyway), but there have been many reports that the remains of Gilgamesh were discovered and brought back to America for study and the extraction of DNA. I sure bet the transhumanists were foaming at the mouth to get this corpse into their labs for experimentation!

For wheresoever the carcass is, there will the eagles be gathered together. (Matt. 24:28 - KJV)

You have to love that old reliable King James translation. Where virtually every other translation gets it wrong, we can depend on the KJV to honor Jesus' intended meaning behind some of his His most cryptic words. People wonder all the time about where America might be in Bible prophecy. Well, Jesus seems to point out here that American leaders were to have an unhealthy, obsessive really, interest in locating and stealing the corpse of the world's 1st anti-christ figure. In the Bible, this Gilgamesh figure goes by another name, a title actually--Nimrod, meaning "we shall rebel."

I have shared this video in previous posts, but there is some great commentary on the National Harbor monument backing up to the 10:50 mark.
