May God set the captive free in Jesus Christ. Amen

....And we, Californians are sick of the Judicial Tyranny. In 2000, 60% of us ruled to keep marraige between a man and a woman. Then a San Francisco Judge declared homosexual marraige legal, and we over-turned it again. Another judge just pulled this little trick, but I suspect, since it's going to be on the ballot in 5 months, it will once again be overturned. Pray for us...we're tired of this. Not only that, a judge in Southern Cal, made a law that in order for people to homeschool their kids, they have to have a four-year teaching degree. We're going after that one too. All of my grandkids are homeschooled.

And I live in the capitol city, lol. Where sin abounds, grace abounds more abundantly? Pretty much. Well, until the end happens, lol.

I am sad about this issue because it's being institutionalize, sanctioned as a thing. This is something that has a spirit behind it as with all things that man does, and this spirit tries to make a mockery or a perversion of what God has made. But people don't see this spirit because they think it is of them and is of their own desires and nature and being and that they are in control of themselves.

That's nonsense. There's even a recent news story on a study that homosexuals have something innate about their brains that makes them act as homosexual. How can anyone control their homosexual behaviors if they're hardwired for it? They're not making decisions for themselves.

It's a spirit and it means trouble for man, the same spirit that got man in trouble for the tower of Babel, or the last days of Noah, or of Sodom and Gomorra, and whenever such a spirit makes trouble God brings judgment against that spirit, and usually man gets the caught in the cross fire.

Heh, I just wrote cross fire, must be a double meaning. Praise the Lord!

THE SEVEN THUNDERS
"This is just another attempt to force a radical political agenda upon the people of California," said Defense Fund senior counsel Glen Lavy (regarding keeping the pro-heterosexual marriage initiative on the Nov. ballot). "The opponents of marriage are willing to use any means necessary to impose their will."

You've got to be kidding me? Who is REALLY imposing their will here? This is such distortion against the voters' will.

Ephesian 6:12

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."

This is happening because of the successful battles fought and won by the DEMONIC PRICIPALITIES over the state of California. California Christians have not done their part, their duty in the Spiritual War, which is to PRAY and empower the ANGELIC PRINCIPALITIES onward in the battle, so due to their complacency and cares of this world, Evil is, subsequently, expanding its tentacles.

I know that Obama is whole-heartedly supportive of homosexual special rights. He is also the most pro-choice candidate ever. It is interesting how Cali is (hopefully) going to vote over the state definition of marraige at the same time that the whole country is going to be voting over the next president who may use his power to either advance the GLBT agenda or constrain it. It seems that God has placed California as a spiritual gate for either heaven or hell to the rest of the country. If hell continues to open there, I would definitely fear the judgments that will be coming down the pike that much more quickly and aggressively in California. I used to say something similar about New Orleans ever since I visited there in 1999. "Never move there" I said. Also, Vegas, and New York City are places I wouldn't be shocked to see judgments visited upon.

May God pour out his spirit upon America. May God have mercy. We need to trust God through these days. We need to pray. We need to remind ourselves that the kingdom of God is still going to come. America is not the kingdom of God. Let's be salt in this nation while we still have freedoms.

Homosexuals are definitely hardwired that way:

2 Timothy 2:25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; 26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.

But no more than the rest of us born with a propensity to sin:

Psalm 58:3
The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.

Thank you, LORD, for rewiring me by your regenerating Holy Spirit and washing me with the water of your word!

In Christ,

Mike

I guess we should be praying for angelic pricipalities to make revisions to our constitution that will take away the power these judges have.

There is no place that is any different in Gods sight. Judgment is coming on the entire world. Only those who are in the temple behind the veil will not be harmed. Those who are in the temple made without human hands will see the reward of the wicked but will not be harmed by it.

yes HB, the intent of the adversary is to create the them/us paradigm. from
there we go to containment of the other...and still have the problem.

the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but high in God to the pulling
down of darkness...powers and principalities in high places...

but who will pray for the release of the captives? we have to pray for
the children of God, AND those that hold captive the purposes of God,
until they release the territory...and captives are set free. love til it hurts
but that doesn't mean sloppy agape...but deep regard for humanity, and
deep regard for God's creation, and for the fellowship and restoration
that God has provided through the Blood of Jesus Christ, our Lamb of God.

Amen

Its heating up right now...the desert is in the triple digit figures and
hovering in the 120's, a little early, but it is officially summer. With early
summer and heat we have to get prepared for the "burning" later on
when the winds kick up and lightening falls, to say nothing of the insane
demoniacs that light the torch, toss the cigarette, and forget the barbecue
in the wilderness. Already with electric power outs over the last couple
of days...more reason to push the Green Agenda...but where will the

End-Time Calling
Alot said here. This is indeed a issue that divides and brings the war to levels this country has not faced yet with the true enemy. We have all the bombs in the world for the physical wars, but are now low on soldiers to fight the real battle in the spirit. This country has taken massive losses to the spirit realm. The family has been one of the main focal points in this effort by our enemy. We must stand up and do our part.
But no matter what as Justice wrote while quoting the prayer given by Jesus is that our Father's Will, will be done on Earth just as it is in heaven. So We fight not cause we expect to win but we want to serve the purpose of our Father which may bring the last of His chosen to him in a battle where physical ground is ceded to the enemy, for the purposes of our Fathers will. So no matter this battle ends with a country turned over to those lost and turned over to their sins or back into the hands of those who keeps the commands of Jesus and His Father we should be about our Fathers business for the sake of the elect that have not yet come to know their Savior. And to bring relief to those that have and suffer for it. And to pray and love those that have not, but are lost still in sin. They have not yet seen what you have. But this will happen by the will of HIm who called them. He could use you.

California Wildfires in the State's Wine Country Ignited by Lightning (VIDEO)
Tim King Salem-News.com
Firefighters in California are working hard to control numerous fires.


(SALEM, Ore.) - Forecasters say a storm system that pushed into the Northwest touched off numerous thunderstorms across northern California on Saturday. According to Accuweather.com, the thunderstorms produced significant rain but also sparked lightning, igniting wildfires as the lightning bolts struck the extremely dry vegetation covering parts of northern California, predominantly in the state's wine country.

One of the biggest problems facing firefighters is the fact that rather than just a few spots, hundreds of wildfires were started by the lighting strikes, . The AP reports that this series of destructive fires in rain starved northern California.

One fire had reportedly scorched almost 6 square miles by early Sunday. That fire started the previous afternoon in Napa County and wasted no time reaching into sparsely populated Solano County.

More than 100 buildings have been threatened so far and one burned to the ground, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. By this morning, firefighters said the blaze was roughly 10 percent contained. Some areas will reportedly be evacuated as the blaze develops.

Meteorologist Kristina Baker with AccuWeather.com, says the lack of strong storm systems moving onshore will prevent thunderstorms from returning to California during the next few days.

She says that should give firefighters an opportunity to battle the blazes without the threat of thunderstorms igniting more fires. Unlike some fires in the past, high winds are not expected, and Baker says nothing more than an afternoon breeze will hinder these firefighter's efforts.

Unfortunately, the lack of storms invading the state also means the forecast does not include much-needed rain.

As reported by the Associated Press, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's office stated Saturday that the lightning sparked nearly 400 fires from Monterey County to the border of California and Oregon. Monterey County is located along California's central coast, south of San Francisco. More than 60 of the fires were started in the Shasta-Trinity National Forecast.

Lightning sparks 800-plus fires in California
By ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO

Firefighters from neighboring states arrived in California to help Monday after an "unprecedented" lightning storm sparked more than 800 wildfires, from Big Sur to wine country to Humboldt County.

Slideshow: Pictures of the week

Thousands of firefighters battled the blazes on the ground and from the air and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said he was alarmed by the number of fires that kept erupting.

He said he was told late Sunday evening that the state had 520 fires, and he found it "quite shocking" that by morning the number had risen above 700.

Moments later, atop state fire official standing at Schwarzenegger's side offered a grim update: The figure was actually 842 fires, said Del Walters, assistant regional chief of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. All but a couple were in the northern part of the state.

"This is an unprecedented lightning storm in California, that it lasted as long as it did, 5,000 to 6,000 lightning strikes," Walters said. "We are finding fires all the time."

The assistance, mostly firefighting aircraft, arrived Monday from Nevada and Oregon after being requested over the weekend. Schwarzenegger said he had enlisted the help "because you can never prepare for 500 or 700 or 800 fires all at the same time."

Part of the reason for the swelling number of wildfires was that local and state officials were still counting after the fierce thunderstorm Friday night that touched off the blazes.

"We didn't get real lucky with this lighting storm," Walters said. "It wasn't predicted - which often happens with these storms that come in off the Pacific, there's no history of the weather as it approaches the shore - and so we got hammered."

In Mendocino County alone there were 110 fires, with just 17 contained.

Two of the biggest fires had each charred nearly 15 1/2 square kilometers.

One started in Napa County and quickly moved into Solano County, and threatened about 250 homes about 40 miles (64 kilometers) southwest of Sacramento, said Kevin Colburn, a spokesman for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. It was 60 percent contained Monday.

The other was in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest, about 257 kilometers north of Sacramento, and threatened about 1,200 homes.

Along the coast in the Los Padres National Forest, a 2,000-acre (809-hectare) wildfire burning south of Big Sur since Saturday forced the evacuations of 75 homes and businesses, destroyed one house and threatened hundreds of others.

It also led to an emergency airlift Sunday of eight endangered California condors. U.S. Coast Guard helicopters transported the seven juveniles and one adult bird from a wildlife center to the Monterey Airport.

A second fire in the Los Padres burned more than 57,000 acres (23,067 hectares) and has injured nine firefighters.

In southern Arizona, two new human-caused wildfires were burning Monday but not threatening homes. A 700-acre (283-hectare) fire in the Rincon Mountains east of Tucson was fully contained. Lightning sparked that fire.

Earthquakes shake floor off the coast

From Staff Reports
Friday, July 18, 2008 | 10 comment(s)
Did you feel them?

Probably not.

The first one hit at 1:36 p.m. Thursday. It 258 miles due west of Florence, with a magnitude of 5.5. It wouldn’t be the last.

The next earthquake was slightly bigger, according to the West Coast/Alaska Tsunami Warning Center. It rattled the Pacific Ocean floor at 1:51 p.m. The epicenter was 261 miles offshore and due west of Coos Bay, with a magnitude of 5.6.

Neither earthquake generated a tsunami.

“In coastal areas of intense shaking, locally generated tsunamis can be triggered by underwater landslides,” the agency said in the quake notification.

For people on land to feel the rattling, a quake would have to be much larger — 7.1 to 7.5 — for a tsunami warning to be issued, the center’s earthquake scientists have said.

Three other quakes hit the same area and depth over the past two days. All occurred along the Juan de Fuca fault line, where the North American plate is sliding under the Juan de Fuca plate.
