In the past people weren't supposed to be intimate until marriage (although some were) and they almost never lived together without being married. In Ancient Egypt they would sign a contract, the woman would move in, and they were considered married. I feel like I read at an earlier point moving in by itself was enough for them to be seen as married, but I could be mistaken.

These days marriage is not considered required for a relationship to be serious. People live together, have children together, share property and businesses together, etc. without being married.

After whetting my appetite with a couple of the series based on it and playing the game, I resumed Fate/stay night. It appeals to the same part of me that appreciated the Jewish and Christian mysticism in Neon Genesis Evangelion but replaces its insufferable characters with interesting ones. I'll be interested to see how much deeper the visual novel is from the other material with which I'm familiar.

Considering the UK have put a limit to cooking oil now. More shortages is surely to be expected.

Why are they limiting it?

We’ve had a rash of fires in food processing plants since November. Planes crashed into a couple. I posted the video earlier. Roughly 12 to 18 facilities were impacted.

Pick up some 5 gallon buckets when you can. 10 or more if possible. You can plant in them. Soil is an option but hydroponics is best. You can grow year round. That may be necessary.

I’ll write later.

I have heard about the Cern Hadron Collider, but I have never been big on science. So I have no idea what they are up to exactly. Considering they have a statue of Shiva at their headquarters, my guess is they want to destroy the world and reshape it to their liking.

In the simplest terms its a portal. What do you know about portals (as depicted in television and film)? Something goes in or comes out. In this case, they’re after the second.

The flood destroyed every living thing. But it didn’t get rid of spirits. Ninety percent were placed in bondage and ten were permitted to remain (see the apocrypha).

The easiest way to explain what they’re doing is this. They’re trying to pierce the veil. The barrier that prevents elements (i.e. spirits) from crossing dimensions. By doing so, they’ll release the captives.

The scientific spin they’re using is a quest for dark matter. Man possesses both — light and dark. But when they come in contact with dark entities it exacerbates the latter. In other words, it heightens the bad stuff. The more you have the darker you become.

That’s why things are worsening. They succeeded. If you research the phenomenon at the university in Switzerland you’ll discover what happened when they encountered dark matter. Hawking warned them against it and he was an atheist. He knew what they’d unleash (reference his remarks on antimatter).


A celebration commenced in response to their work. Many dignitaries attended and the symbolism is obvious. As is their logo. What does this mean in the nutshell? Hell on earth.


That’s why prayer and fasting is a must. There are spirits you can’t rebuke or cast out. They’re too strong. You need angelic assistance. Remember the passage from Daniel.

But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.

Each country, city, and state has a spiritual assignment. As do industries, activities, interests, etc. There’s a demonic element stationed to mislead its participants. He desires your undoing and never rests.

You’re commanded to be shrewd as a serpent because he targets your head. If you capture the mind you’ll own the man. That’s why its impossible to serve two masters and double mindedness is admonished. Hokey pokey isn’t an option. You’re in or out in that realm. Serving God or satan.

It’s hard to complain when elements are emerging from the abyss. You have to put things in perspective and gird up your loins. When people are emboldened there’s usually a reason. Subtlety is gone. They’re blatant now.

I’ll leave a 411 about your enemy. They double or triple Christian output. If you pray an hour they’ll do it for five. Fast a day or two and they’ll go a week. They understand warfare and the necessity for persistence more than we do.

The next time you’re tempted to feel sorry for yourself or sit on your hands. Remember my words. While you’re slack they’re busy. When you can’t be bothered they follow through. Don’t rest on your laurels.

My grandma says I can meet one at church. She's so naive.
You're very lucky to have a grandparent alive! She probably wants what is best for you!! Praying for you and your future. God bless

I wonder, in the ancient past, how many people practiced polygamy or polyandry. What was considered cheating or not, since commitment was more fluid back then. Food for thought

I like the classic comics, from the late 70's, 80's and 90's. I am not into new comics. New comics are way too blatant with their agenda, I don't have any of those. I have noticed some comics have themes. Some writers are openly into the occult. I don't have any of those comics in my collection anymore.

The source is the same. The agenda was restrained in the past. As they’ve conditioned the masses to be more accepting there’s no need to hide.

It's a possibility down the line. I hink I should get out three and mingle a bit more and get used to that again first.

I would give greater thought to independence and creating an income. Otherwise you’ll need a UBI. And its coming with strings. You want to be in a position to decline it.

I will pray for a Godly woman. I can focus entirely on a Godly woman now. I will be much more centered this time around.

Given my previous response I’ll be more direct. Get you a woman who thwart’s the enemy’s plans. One accustomed to harassment and intimidation when she sits down to pray. Because heaven is moving on her words. You need someone who can pray through yokes and strongholds. Who won’t buckle when threatened or tempted. Many will.

Remember the parable of the sower. The seed fell on four grounds. But only one yielded a harvest. The majority failed.

I will, that's something I am good at, let Him know everything, I am actually quite talkative. I can use alot of rhema, so that is realy great. That is something I realy want, that connection.

The Holy Spirit is very talkative. The more you spend time with Him the more He speaks. Wait until He starts interrupting your thoughts or chiming in while you’re conversing with others.

Thanks for your insight. It's always a pleasure reading your posts.

You’re welcome. I’m enjoying your progress and seeing the Lord at work. :)
