Divine Graffiti: God Was Here

Have you ever heard of the Golden Ratio? It's this crazy mathematical formula that's apparently in everything. It's based on thirds. Does that sound like hmmm... maybe the trinity? It's God's mathematical genius at work. Take a look at these two videos on the subject. Afterwards, there are two other ones on a similar subject.





Here are two videos on the subject of Laminin, the rebarb of living tissue. These two videos will knock your socks off! Enjoy!

Who knew sharks liked Christian music?

Check out this music I found on grooveshark. These are some great Christian jams spanning the 80's to 2000's. Grooveshark is pretty nifty if you've never used it before.

I first heard the Steve Camp and Phil Wickham songs on internet radio 365 station, ccm classics enhanced. I was already a fan of Five Iron Frenzy but never got around to buying any cd's. Anyway, I thought you'd like this eclectic mix of Christian songs.

I Wonder If Jesus Wears Bling?

In this video, there's a 3-D model of what the Jewish Temple might have looked like in Jesus' time.



Check out this video about the crowns the Jewish high priests used to wear. They're pretty neat looking and Jesus might wear one since He's our high priest.



Here's a video to do with some prophetic things from the Book of Daniel, which is usually pretty confusing. The speaker makes it easy to understand. Sorry the video is incomplete, but you still learn quite a bit from it.



This video is a 3-D model of the temple in Ezekiel's vision. But the thing is, it's in Russion and has some goofy music. But it's still amazing all the same. Some believe the temple will be built when Jesus reigns for a thousand years on earth. After the video, there will be a link to The Word Was God blog that deals with the fascinating design of the temple.

Thoughts on being a Watchman on the Wall

In this post, the Lord wants us to learn about using every opportunity we get to be a witness to the world around us. I was reading these scripture this week and I felt led to talk about them. Please take the time to read these scriptures. I’ll explain them afterwards.

Ezekial 33:1-20 (New Living Translation

Ezekiel as Israel’s Watchman

1 Once again a message came to me from the Lord: 2 “Son of man, give your people this message: ‘When I bring an army against a country, the people of that land choose one of their own to be a watchman. 3 When the watchman sees the enemy coming, he sounds the alarm to warn the people. 4 Then if those who hear the alarm refuse to take action, it is their own fault if they die. 5 They heard the alarm but ignored it, so the responsibility is theirs. If they had listened to the warning, they could have saved their lives. 6 But if the watchman sees the enemy coming and doesn’t sound the alarm to warn the people, he is responsible for their captivity. They will die in their sins, but I will hold the watchman responsible for their deaths.’
7 “Now, son of man, I am making you a watchman for the people of Israel. Therefore, listen to what I say and warn them for me. 8 If I announce that some wicked people are sure to die and you fail to tell them to change their ways, then they will die in their sins, and I will hold you responsible for their deaths. 9 But if you warn them to repent and they don’t repent, they will die in their sins, but you will have saved yourself.

The Watchman’s Message

10 “Son of man, give the people of Israel this message: You are saying, ‘Our sins are heavy upon us; we are wasting away! How can we survive?’ 11 As surely as I live, says the Sovereign Lord, I take no pleasure in the death of wicked people. I only want them to turn from their wicked ways so they can live. Turn! Turn from your wickedness, O people of Israel! Why should you die?
12 “Son of man, give your people this message: The righteous behavior of righteous people will not save them if they turn to sin, nor will the wicked behavior of wicked people destroy them if they repent and turn from their sins. 13 When I tell righteous people that they will live, but then they sin, expecting their past righteousness to save them, then none of their righteous acts will be remembered. I will destroy them for their sins. 14 And suppose I tell some wicked people that they will surely die, but then they turn from their sins and do what is just and right. 15 For instance, they might give back a debtor’s security, return what they have stolen, and obey my life-giving laws, no longer doing what is evil. If they do this, then they will surely live and not die. 16 None of their past sins will be brought up again, for they have done what is just and right, and they will surely live.
17 “Your people are saying, ‘The Lord isn’t doing what’s right,’ but it is they who are not doing what’s right. 18 For again I say, when righteous people turn away from their righteous behavior and turn to evil, they will die. 19 But if wicked people turn from their wickedness and do what is just and right, they will live. 20 O people of Israel, you are saying, ‘The Lord isn’t doing what’s right.’ But I judge each of you according to your deeds.”

As you can tell from the scripture above, God really takes it seriously about warning people of coming trouble. Probably in most instances now, it’s about repenting from sin and returning to God. Either way, if you die without your sins being forgiven, the consequences of hell are sure to follow, and that’s no good for anybody. So I encourage you and I’m sure the Lord does too, to be a watchman on the wall. Use every opportunity the Lord gives you to be a witness of him, to share about the good news of Yeshua Ha’Machiach (Jesus Christ), because it can be a matter of life or death. And we can do that by listening to the calling of our Lord, the good shepherd.

Here’s some scripture. It has to do with the good shepherd. You can click here to read it or have it read to you. Obviously the scripture is talking about Israel. As you can see most of the things in Ezekiel 34 have already been fulfilled. So I’m gonna be a watchman on the wall and tell Israel the Messiah has already come. The scriptures have been fulfilled. Yeshua of Nazareth is your savior and He will return. And here are some more scriptures where He speaks of His return.

Ezekiel 34

Ezekiel 34 - New International Version

Listen to this passage : Ezekiel 34

Mark 13

Mark 13 - New International Version

Listen to this passage : Mark 13

The portion of the scripture in Mark 13 makes it obvious why we need to be a watchman, no matter what wall we’re on. And this last portion of scriptures shows us how we can always be prepared to give the call by living a pure life, with the guidance of God’s Holy Spirit.

Colossians 3:1-17

Rules for Holy Living

1Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. 2Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. 3For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. 4When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
5Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. 6Because of these, the wrath of God is coming. 7You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. 8But now you must rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. 9Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices 10and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. 11Here there is no Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all.
12Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
15Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. 16Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. 17And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

I hope this post blessed your socks off! Have a good night!

Thoughts on Coming Out the Wrong Way

I was reading my posts on this blog and I realized I may come off sounding selfish. Just thinking about that horrified me. There were statements like: "Look what I found," or "Look what God did for ME." But being selfish is the furthest thing from my mind. I just want things on this blog to be an encouragement for others, that God can use you as well. God has special gifts for everyone. He's given each of you unique gifts to witness of His glory. Doesn't matter what situation you're in. If you're in a wheelchair, or have medical issues, young or old, rich or poor. If you haven't discovered the gifts the Lord has given you, all you have to do is ask the Lord to reveal His gifts and He will do that. Sometimes you have to pray for a while, but don't let that discourage you. If you want to share what the Lord has done for you or if you feel like the Lord wants you to share something from His word, email me, and I'll consider posting it.

Please forgive me if my words came out the wrong way. I'll try to do better in the future.

On that note, here's a funny video from youtube. I don't recommend watching too many of the comedians other videos due to the risk of foul language.

Divine Appointment

In this post, I’d like to show you what happened to me the other day (October 7th, 2010).

The day started with my normal routine. I was gonna go outside and drive around while I listen to my MP3 player. Since it was nice, I decided to go as far as the construction site a couple blocks away from my house. So I was driving down the sidewalk for a while, on my way to the point where I had to turn right to go down another sidewalk, so I could get a good view of the progress at the construction site, but something happened along the way.

As I was nearing the construction site, I felt my MP3 player slipping down my leg and I knew it was gonna fall on the sidewalk. I thought to myself, “Oh great,” because there’s no way I could have picked it up on my own. I must have been sitting there looking like a lost puppy. I looked around to see if there was anyone I could ask to assist me. There’s a bunch of restaurants and business around there. I saw two construction workers, and I thought I’d ask them, but they went back to work. Then I thought about it, whoever helps me, I could give them a track. I waited around a while but there was still nobody I could ask.

There was a business back in the other direction, and I thought, “This is gonna be embarrassing.” I figured I was gonna have to go in and ask somebody for help. So that’s what I did. I drove into the business, but once I was in there, I was hesitant to ask anybody. So I went and looked at the clearance aisle and there were some cross decorations that caught my eye. One said, “For God so loved the world,” and the other one said, “This is the day that the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it.” Then I remembered later that was a scripture I’d been reading all week. After that, I went up to the front and waited for some customers to leave, and then I asked for some help. There was a girl behind the counter and she called for somebody in the back to help. A guy came up to the front and I tried to explain to him about my dilemma, but sometimes my voice is hard to hear and he misunderstood. He thought I said parking lot, but I actually meant way down the sidewalk. I told him I’d meet up with him where it was. I wanted to make it as quick and painless for him as possible.

Once we got outside, the guy went to the wrong sidewalk. Eventually we met up where the MP3 player had landed but it was gone. He asked me how long ago I dropped it. In mild frustration, I said, “10 minutes ago!” But then I got over it. There was no point in getting upset. So I asked him, “Can I at least give you something for your trouble?” He said, “Oh no. Don’t do anything like that.” But I was thinking about a track. I wasn’t gonna give him money. I assume that’s what he thought I meant. Then I explained to him it was just a pamphlet that talks about my life and what gets me through. He said, “Oh sure.” He took one and looked it over. I told him God’s really transformed my life. Then he said, “Oh, I’m Jewish.” I said, “Oh, that’s awesome.” Then he said, “Oh, I’m not anti-Christian or anything. I love Yeshua.” That’s what he said! Then he started back toward the business. I hollered, “Thank you,” to him. He hollered back, “You’re welcome.” And for those of you who know me, I feel called to reach out to Jewish people. I want them to know their promised Messiah has already come. Yeshua or Jesus (Yeshua is Hebrew for Jesus) Christ. Here’s a link to my blog, where I talk about my calling.

Shortly after this, I saw two ladies walking up the sidewalk. I moved over so they could get by. One of them asked if I had dropped something. I said, “Yes, my MP3 player.” The woman then pulled it out of her pocket and gave it back to me. I wanted to tell them a little bit about what had just happened to me so I asked them if they had a second. They said, “No.” They looked to be in a hurry or maybe just on a lunch break.

When I got home, I realized I never found out what the guy’s name was. Then I also realized I forgot to tell the lady thank you.

I hope the Lord blesses that guy with Messiah’s saving grace.

So that’s pretty much what happened. And that’s why I call it a “Divine Appointment.”

Thoughts on Oprah Video

I accidentally clicked on this Oprah video. At the time it was kind of interesting so I favorited it. The other day, I was gonna delete it, but I thought some rebuttals to the argument would make a good post. It’s kind of old, but if you can get through the low quality and actually hear for yourself what Oprah advocates when it comes to Jesus Christ, you’ll be surprised.



If every religion or way can get you to heaven, that’d mean the religions that murder people or have human sacrifices would be there, too. There’d be no consequences for your actions. Why would that be considered fair? That goes for Nazis and white supremacist, as well, if we go by what Oprah says.

One of Oprah’s arguments that there must be more than one way is, “If you never hear the name of Jesus.” God created nature to be a witness to us: plants and animals and the stars and things like these. Romans 1: 19-20 “19 Since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20 For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.” I’ve heard examples where people never hear the name of Jesus, but then hear about Him in a dream or vision, giving them a longing to leave their country and find the Truth.

It seems to me the most fair way would be to have one way, rather than a million ways. One God, one way: Yhwh or Yahweh. In the Bible, God tells you how it is. He plainly tells of the consequences for sin.

God has rules. Just like good parents have rules. Good parents don’t want to have to punish their children, but realize rules and punishment are necessary. Punishment teaches children not to do the wrong thing, or something that could harm them. I can guarantee nobody likes it when they’re out in public and some kid freaks out because they can’t get what they want. And then, inevitably, the kid’s parent give in. What does that teach this kid? Who’s raising who? With God, there is no mistake. We are His children. He’s given us rules for life. He’s the Creator, and we need to give Him credit for that.

Oprah seems to think there doesn’t need to be rules. Admittedly, Oprah is in a tough spot, having to appease her sponsors and general public. Unfortunately, Heaven isn’t a popularity contest. It’s a reward. Oprah, I sincerely hope you find the Truth, so you can see the reality of God’s only Savior, Jesus the only Messiah. It’s about a relationship with him. Not a cold ritualistic religion.

John 3:11-17

11I tell you the truth, we speak of what we know, and we testify to what we have seen, but still you people do not accept our testimony. 12I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe; how then will you believe if I speak of heavenly things? 13No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven—the Son of Man. 14Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, 15that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life.
16"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son. 19This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. 21But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God."

God is the Great Physician and He Says Homosexuality is a Missed Diagnosis

The world says that these practices are okay and normal, but it is as far from the truth as you can get. It’s like when pharmaceutical companies put out a pill, and then they have to recall it because it causes cancer or some other adverse affect. Another example is like Lasik surgery, and then come to find out it can make eye problems worse.

God never designed the human body to do these things. Babies are supposed to be made after a man and woman get married. Male to male nor female to female can make a child. God doesn’t want His children to do certain things for a reason. He’s not some cosmic killjoy. He’s a loving, forgiving Father. It’s for our own protection. Committing sexual sin can highly increase your chance of getting an STD, which nobody needs. If you convince yourself of something being right, how are you supposed to be able to repent or return to God if you think what you’re doing is “fine and dandy”? If you hear a lie long enough you begin to believe it. The diagnosis of homosexuality is a sinful nature being encouraged by the lies of the world.

The whole reason I feel like I should write this is because of what happened a couple days ago. Tyler Clementi, a student at a Rutgers University, took his life after someone broadcast his homosexual activity on the internet. I was disturbed thinking about the world telling him his lifestyle was okay, and then you have people making fun of him and being malicious with their words. Probably something in his spirit was crying out, saying there’s something wrong with my body and I don’t know what it is. This poor individual was so disturbed that he felt the only way he could escape was by killing himself. If he would have known Jesus, He could have helped him escape the lie of homosexuality.

Homosexuality is like any sin. It can get to the point that they need someone else’s help: counseling or medication. Some homosexual tendencies can be caused by a chemical imbalance. I’m no expert but I’ve heard that chasing after that kind of sin can make the chemical imbalance worse. There are many different scenarios that lead to this type of sin, but one thing I know for sure with the help of God’s Holy Spirit you can overcome any addiction or stronghold.

If anyone is struggling with this let me give you some scriptures to read to help you.

1 Corinthians 10:13

13No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.

These scriptures may be a little rough, but if you read them all the way through, you’ll find the light at the end of the tunnel.

Romans 1:18-32

Listen to whole chapter : Romans 1

God's Wrath Against Mankind
18The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.
21For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.
24Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
26Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. 27In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.
28Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. 29They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.

Romans 2:1-16

Listen to whole chapter : Romans 2

God's Righteous Judgment
1You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things. 2Now we know that God's judgment against those who do such things is based on truth. 3So when you, a mere man, pass judgment on them and yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God's judgment? 4Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, tolerance and patience, not realizing that God's kindness leads you toward repentance?
5But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God's wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed. 6God "will give to each person according to what he has done." 7To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life. 8But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger. 9There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile; 10but glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 11For God does not show favoritism.
12All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law. 13For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God's sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous. 14(Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law, 15since they show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts now accusing, now even defending them.) 16This will take place on the day when God will judge men's secrets through Jesus Christ, as my gospel declares.

Romans 5:6-11

6You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. 7Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. 8But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
9Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him! 10For if, when we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! 11Not only is this so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.

You don’t change yourself to go to church you go to church to be changed.

Too many times churches are hateful and evil-eyed toward sinners. They forget they were sinners once, too. We are all sinners saved by grace. Jesus has taught us to flee from evil and the things we once did. Let the power of Jesus’ love set you free from the chains of bondage.

Hebrew Music Rocks!

Here's some old school music I've always enjoyed. I just wanted to share it with everybody out there. Starting with "Jehovah Jireh, My Provider". Followed by the Vicki Yohe's rendition of "The Mercy Seat". And lastly, Amy Grant's "El Shaddai".
