My heart is crushed at the news of former Miss USA (2019), Cheslie Kryst. Thinking that this young, beautiful, compassionate woman was so unhappy that she leapt to her death is both unreal and jarring and numbing and…words fail to express how I truly feel.
Dear, dear, dear gay community: you don’t need the right to get married. You already had it. You need deliverance. All of the love, identity, and affirmation that you are seeking can only ever be found in God Almighty. And the good news is, He is already seeking you! Cry out to God, repent for your sins (we ALL have to do it daily), and turn your heart and life over to Him. Then and only then will you have the liberty you are so longing for.
When you have spirits that control the power of the air waves--and they possess that--they have territorial dominance because they have advantages in the air waves. So they are able to control traffic from this level. And the minute you start getting into the airwaves you are going to have trouble. So people that start a company that's dealing with telephones, or that's dealing with the airwaves in terms of radio, or television, or even the internet, you fight the kinds of battles that if you don't know what you're fighting you'll have problems because the airwaves is the way thoughts are transmitted. And the devil possesses the heavens so he can control the thoughts of men. So if you want to get into a business with telephones, walkie-talkies, internet, and all those things, it's not just about making money. You'd better know Who God is. Because you're going to fight battles that you think are unreasonable; they're not unreasonable. (Bishop Tudor Bismark, “Demonic Possession, Part II”)
Welcome to Part II of this extremely controversial post. If you missed Part I, you can read it here. Let's jump right in...
Earlier this week, I posted something on Facebook that pissed off A LOT of people. And I do mean, A LOT. I knew it would be an unpopular topic before I posted it. I expected opposition. But what I did NOT expect was a demonic onslaught of vicious words from so-called Christians. The post was about the suicide of Brittany Maynard, the young woman who scheduled her own death for November 1st.
I don't remember much about it, but I do remember Will Smith being there and we were talking. He said something that reverberated long after I woke up:
"Don't tell your dreams to everyone. If you do, they'll never make it to the Third Heaven. They'll be stuck in the Second Heaven."
For decades, Robin Williams was the man that had us all–black and white, saved and unsaved, young and old–laughing. He lifted our spirits, all the while, his own spirit was being crushed beneath the weight of depression. What a tragic paradox! No amount of “R.I.P.s” can make his earthly or eternal death peaceful. From Scripture to Mary K. Baxter’s Divine Revelation of Hell, we know Hell and its ever-burning fire are very real. As the Church, we need to be straightforward about the topic of depression.
