A Prayer for Protection against Lone Wolf Terrorism

A Prayer for Protection against Lone Wolf Terrorism

Psalms 74
Maschil of Asaph.

1 O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?
2 Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old; the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.
3 Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; even all that the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary.
4 Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns for signs.
5 A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees.
6 But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers.
7 They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of thy name to the ground.
8 They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.
9 We see not our signs: there is no more any prophet: neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.
10 O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?
11 Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand? pluck it out of thy bosom.
12 For God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.
13 Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters.
14 Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.
15 Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood: thou driedst up mighty rivers.
16 The day is thine, the night also is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sun.
17 Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter.
18 Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O Lord, and that the foolish people have blasphemed thy name.
19 O deliver not the soul of thy turtledove unto the multitude of the wicked: forget not the congregation of thy poor for ever.
20 Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty.
21 O let not the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor and needy praise thy name.
22 Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee daily.
23 Forget not the voice of thine enemies: the tumult of those that rise up against thee increaseth continually.

Psalms 31:20 Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues. 21 Blessed be the Lord: for he hath shewed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city. Psalms 27:5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock. 6 And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the Lord.  7 Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me. Psalms 18:9 He [God] bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet. 10 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind. 11 He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies. 12 At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire. 13 The Lord also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire. 14 Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them. 15 Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O Lord, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils. 16 He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters. 17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me. 18 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the Lord was my stay.   II Samuel 22:11 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: and he was seen upon the wings of the wind. 12 And he made darkness pavilions round about him, dark waters, and thick clouds of the skies. 13 Through the brightness before him were coals of fire kindled. 14 The Lord thundered from heaven, and the most High uttered his voice.   Revisionists; Paraphrase, Revised Modern English Edition, Revised New Testament Greek Interpretations Versions… (Bible originally written in Hebrew and Aramaic in the Old Testament, and Koine Greek in the New Testament – translated diligently into English by the Christian King James Commission to produce the only authorized English version of the Authorized King James Holy Bible).   Paraphrase Bibles http://www.learnthebible.org/paraphrase-bibles.html My question is about paraphrase bibles. My Pastor likes to use one when he preaches. I work under this man in the ministry. My concern is if we teach or preach the word of God from a paraphrase bible, how will sinners know the truth of the individual words? A paraphrase bible is one that allows the greatest level of liberty in translation. In fact, translation is probably too strong a word for many of the paraphrase bibles out there. Among paraphrase bibles, I am most familiar with the Amplified Bible. I have called it the Multiple Choice Bible because it tends to give a string of synonymous words or phrases in order to give numerous ideas as to what the verse might be saying. Unfortunately, it tends to confuse the sincere Bible student by giving a myriad of choices. For the creative teacher who needs evidence for his own unique doctrine, this bible is a storehouse of choices. If you do not like what the Bible says or if you simply need proof for a particular point, this paraphrase will often give you just what you need. But in reality, it makes God sound like a wishy-washy deity who must leave the real meaning of truth up to each person’s whim. Other paraphrase bibles include Good News for Modern Man and the Living Bible. These bibles mold God’s word into a contemporary fusion of hip and political correctness. The text is “translated” according to liberal interpretation and modern nonsense. The lost and the spiritually immature often love these versions because they are fun and easy to read. It does not matter that God never made His Bible fun and easy to read–at least not from cover to cover. There are simple portions and there are difficult portions. There are joyous sections and there are plenty of heavy portions of scripture. The paraphrase relegates God’s holy words to an unimportant side-issue. How people feel when they read the version–that is the deciding factor for most modern paraphrases. I am sure that there are many modern paraphrases with which I am not familiar. As men get bolder and bolder with manipulating the words of the holy God, more and more modern versions are truly paraphrases. The dynamic equivalency doctrine of many modern versions is just a fancy way of saying paraphrase. It means that the text should be translated in such a way as to have the same effect on modern readers of English as it had on ancient readers of Hebrew and Greek. This sounds good, but it is a matter of interpretation. It means that translators must be confident that they know exactly what God was saying to the ancient recipients of the Bible text. The translators must also know exactly what effect these words had on them. Then, they must be able to determine what words will have the same effect on modern readers in another language and put the text in those words. This is not translation per se. It is interpretation. It means that the reader of these bibles must totally trust the “translators” to put the right spin on the text. I do not trust them and neither should others. The Bible gives various warnings to those who would add to or subtract to the words of God. Perhaps it would be good to close with some of these scriptures. Deuteronomy 4:2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you. Proverbs 30:6 Add thou not unto His words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar. Revelation 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

Sacrifices: Let Us Break the Will of the Infidels

Sacrifices: Let Us Break the Will of the Infidels

I have produced my words to answer those of faith in God. (Allah). http://churchphilaforums.freesmfhosting.com/index.php

Here we have again those who have usurped warfare in the name of faith and God committing atrocities and be-headings.
Revelation 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshiped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

We are going to look at the evil of this new leader and how in Faith we combat. This is the nature of this anew-ed battle….
Ezekiel 29:7 When they took hold of thee by thy hand, thou didst break, and rend all their shoulder: and when they leaned upon thee, thou brakest, and madest all their loins to be at a stand.

We will come back to this conclusion. The keyword and battle is “loins”, as well for the sacrificed – the Love of God and his fervent Love through The Messiah, Christ Jesus.

The “loins”….area about lower stomach and upper thighs. Now the following reference verses are not parables, but are a little like – meaning a word or words that have not just the literal definition but also a figurative meaning. In the following commandment from God

A commandment from Moses blessing Israel before his death (and concerns using The Word as a rod of iron, but here in actual war)….
Deuteronomy 33:11 Bless, Lord, his substance, and accept the work of his hands: smite through the loins of them that rise against him, and of them that hate him, that they rise not again.

That can be interpreted like “break their legs” or literally hack them with a large mighty sword in battle. The loins area is as a person’s will figuratively. You can feel this area when you really muster strength to lift something heavy – giving it all your might. Same with your inner might like a verbal fight shouting match yelling words to get at deep or psyche someone out leading to a fisticuffs even. Or that raising will like a criminal getting arrested and “oh yeah copper” and by his will mightily may try and over power an Officer by strength, mustering his own from his own will of disobedience and desire to be free to be a law breaker – evil tasting sweet.

And so we take a look at “loins” being a figure of speech….
I Peter 1:13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

And let’s look at corresponding verses in the Scriptures (Holy Bible)…..

Isaiah 21:3 Therefore are my loins filled with pain: pangs have taken hold upon me, as the pangs of a woman that travaileth: I was bowed down at the hearing of it; I was dismayed at the seeing of it.

Jeremiah 30:6 Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child? wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness?

Loins as inner self and will to live. And here below in this verse as meaning to humble yourself – “with the breaking of thy loins” – humbling self in the deep sorrows of evil deeds committed, painful, forgetting the day and work and profit in it for this grief and moment and bitterness of atrocity and horrorful.

Ezekiel 21:6 Sigh therefore, thou son of man, with the breaking of thy loins; and with bitterness sigh before their eyes.

Now let’s take a look at their evil (terrorists, infidels) AGAIN in this verse as was written to and about the evil Pharaoh king of Egypt who stood up against God, and as God said…. “Ezekiel 29:9 And the land of Egypt shall be desolate and waste; and they shall know that I am the Lord: because he [Pharaoh] hath said, The river is mine, and I have made it.” (The new faction – “this river is mine own” to say they claim and usurp all in the name of their version and idea and private interpretation of religion)….

Ezekiel 29:7 When they took hold of thee by thy hand, thou didst break, and rend all their shoulder: and when they leaned upon thee, thou brakest, and madest all their loins to be at a stand.

And here is that part of the verse concerned… “thou brakest, and madest all their loins to be at a stand.” This refers to the terrorists, the extremists, as they take over persons. “Thou brakest (their loins)” meaning as these do – attempting to entirely break the will of their victims accusing them as infidels, attempting to break their minds and will with violent murderous horror and violence and complete lawlessness openly. They come in as a small storm of anarchy to loosen all in fear first. And they, at least in their minds, have their will upon persons as “and madest all their loins to be at a stand” – to say they bound their victims and bow their heads and demand they worship this extremist view and practice and worship it as god – physically forcing in attention and obeisance and obeisance, making their loins stand in this position, their wills in humility and reverence against the threat of violence and death if opposed.

OUR WAR / THE BELIEVERS (AND PAYBACKS)

There is the old army joke of the good guys coming into town to take the bad guys – “the wages of sin are death. Line up, it is payday!” And with these horrible frightening crimes committed their is of course the immediate response to take revenge. We as the ministers and priests and pastors and students in Christ lead with The Word. Feed my flock Christ said. It is our responsibility knowing the truth of God to feed God’s flock. The words and teachings and wisdom of God are nutrients to the soul. God is light and leads our way and through His Son Jesus Christ. Let us shine on all. Brighten someone’s day with the Love of God towards us. Enlighten someone’s day with the Will 0f God, His Purposes towards us.

The brunt of this warfare is the prefaced captives and martyrs made and the confrontation in war itself. I believe the best first offensive is putting the fear of God in the enemies and God tells us this shall happen (paybacks)….. “recompense into their bosom” – to put their evil and violence and terror into their bosom…..

Isaiah 65:1 I am sought of them that asked not for me; I am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name.
2 I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which walketh in a way that was not good, after their own thoughts;
3 A people that provoketh me to anger continually to my face; that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon altars of brick;
4 Which remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments, which eat swine’s flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;
5 Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day.
6 Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but will recompense, even recompense into their bosom,
7 Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith the Lord, which have burned incense upon the mountains, and blasphemed me upon the hills: therefore will I measure their former work into their bosom.
8 ¶Thus saith the Lord, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one saith, Destroy it not; for a blessing is in it: so will I do for my servants’ sakes, that I may not destroy them all.
9 And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains [Jesus Christ]: and mine elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there.

And this is our charge against them…. this is that part of recompense – to pull apart all their actions and words and showing to their face the lies they are built on and indisputable exhortation. Remove the delusion and aggrandizement.
II Corinthians 10:4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

AND….
I Timothy 1:18 This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare;
19 Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:

We know of course they are not of God….

I John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.
6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

The devils prefacing with captives and martyrs….

Look again at the verse above , “4: Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. “ ….Being Christian we have already beat them. Greater is he that is in you – being baptized in the name of Jesus Christ and Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit of God is in us – our souls are alive and can never perish, the death of the soul is to deny God and sin continually as these extremists do as the rest that shall perish and go to Hell and condemnation forever.

So how do we fight being a bound captor….. the good fight, and we never deny God before them but confess our faith and worship of Him…. our walk in Christ…..

I Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
13 I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession;
14 That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:
15 Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
16 Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.

About to be martyred is a highest calling and opportunity to confess Christ to our enemies. Through the captives is a first line of any Grace offered and invite to our enemies, any charity we would have for their souls to be converted and receive salvation. When the armies arrive to extinguish them, this Grace is no longer possible with the exception of not punishing with an eye for an eye etc. – but above 39 plus one stripes is vile….. and so much evil villainy was dispensed with by the Geneva Convention.
Deuteronomy 25:3 Forty stripes he may give him, and not exceed: lest, if he should exceed, and beat him above these with many stripes, then thy brother should seem vile unto thee.

In other words these extremists take advantage that they are not in a world where the good guy armies so disgusted with them would actually put them in chains for torture 24/7 once captured. To really, really, really put it to them. Thus being a civil world, the grace is this benefit and in the US Constitution providing for those under attainder of treason attainted that there will be no recompense to any foreign state or power in the event the prisoner becomes a reborn Christian (corruption of blood), and in the same breath not responsible for the reverse.

What has been written of the life of Jesus Christ as the perfect sacrifice…..

Matthew 27:33 And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull,
34 They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.

Matthew 27:48 And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.

Luke 23:36 And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar,

John 19:28 After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.
29 Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth.

And this was the GREAT EVIL by these who were very evil persons mocking and crucifying Christ because it was in their hands to do so. They knew who Jesus was and the Scriptures and is why they did this EVIL to Christ….. (written hundreds of years prior)….

Psalms 69:21 They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
22 Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.
23 Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.
24 Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.
25 Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their tents.
26 For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded.
27 Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness.
28 Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.
29 But I am poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.
30 I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.

Did you notice verse “23: Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.” That is make their loins continually to shake is to PUT THE FEAR OF GOD IN THEM and have them shaking in their boots continually facing eternal damnation at the death of their flesh. This is their punishment from God for their refusal of Him and desire to sin eternally. Another army joke is when they are in the cross hairs “your soul might be the devil’s but your ass is mine” bang!

Apostle Paul….
Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.
4 For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:
5 So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;
7 Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;
8 Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.
9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.
10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;
11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;
12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;
13 Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.
14 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

And sadly…..

Revelation 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

Philippians 2:17 Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all. 18 For the same cause also do ye joy, and rejoice with me.
