Supernatural Travel

MANILA, Philippines — We are amazed at the fast pace of modern technology, especially those relating to travel and communication. But when we read the Holy Bible, there are actually more supernatural events relating to travel which are beyond human imagination. Let me share with you some instances of supernatural travel and journeys mentioned in the Holy Bible.

* * *

In the Book of 1 Kings in the Old Testament, Chapter 18, there is mention of Elijah, one of God’s prophets who unbelievably outran the chariot of King Ahab. From the Biblical account, Elijah ran all the way from Mount Carmel to Jezreel. The distance is about 10 miles.

* * *

In the Book of Joshua in the Old Testament, the Israelites led by Joshua crossed the Jordan River which was flooded at that time. But when the Israelite priests who carried the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord reached the water's edge of the Jordan River, the water stopped flowing. The Bible says: “It (the water) piled up a heap a great distance away, at a town called Adam in the vicinity of Zarethan, while the water flowing down to the Sea of Arabah (the Salt Sea) was completely cut off. So the people crossed over opposite Jericho. The priests who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord stood firm on dry ground in the middle of the Jordan, while all Israel passed by until the whole nation had completed the crossing on dry ground.

* * *

In the Book of Acts of the New Testament, Chapter 8, we see an Ethiopian eunuch reading the Book of Isaiah while traveling in a chariot in a desert road from Jerusalem to Gaza. The eunuch had gone to Jerusalem to worship and was on his way home. An angel of the Lord instructed Philip to go to the desert to share the word of God with the eunuch. Philip obeyed. After Philip shared with the eunuch and baptized him in water, the Spirit of the Lord suddenly took Philip away. Later Philip appeared in another place called Azotus and preached the gospel in all towns he passed by until he reached Caesarea.

* * *

From the Book of 2 Kings of the Old Testament, Chapter 2, Elijah the prophet while walking along and talking with Elisha was taken up into heaven. “...Suddenly a chariot of fire and horses of fire appeared and separated the two of them, and Elijah went up to heaven in a whirlwind.”

* * *

There are many supernatural events recorded in the Holy Bible that refer to many things. Read the Holy Bible and find out yourself. The Holy Bible is not a dry book. There are people who will inspire you as well as interesting incidents that will amuse and enlighten you. In short, the Holy Bible deals with human life and human failings as well.

* * *

Always take good care of your pets!

Dear Mom and Dad,

I died today. You got tired of me and took me to the shelter. They were overcrowded and I drew an unlucky number. I am in a black plastic bag in a landfill now. Some other puppy will get the barely used leash you left. My collar was dirty and too small, but the lady took it off before she sent me to the Rainbow Bridge .

Would I still be at home if I hadn't chewed your shoe? I didn't know what it was, but it was leather, and it was on the floor. I was just playing. You forgot to get puppy toys.

Would I still be at home if I had been housebroken? Rubbing my nose in what I did only made me ashamed that I had to go at all. There are books and obedience teachers that would have taught you how to teach me to go to the door.

Would I still be at home if I hadn't brought fleas into the house? Without anti-flea medicine, I couldn't get them off of me after you left me in the yard for days.

Would I still be at home if I hadn't barked? I was only saying, "I'm scared, I'm lonely, I'm here, I'm here! I want to be your best friend."

Would I still be at home if I had made you happy? Hitting me didn't make me learn how.

Would I still be at home if you had taken the time to care for me and to teach manners to me? You didn't pay attention to me after the first week or so, but I spent all my time waiting for you to love me.

I died today.
Love, Your Puppy

Heavy Metal is very dangerous

2010-11-27T06:39:00.000-08:00

Is there danger in Heavy Metal
Music? What does the heavy
metal music artists say?

Jimmy Hendrix said:
"Atmospheres are going to come
through music, because music is
a spiritual thing on its own. You
can hypnotize people with music
and when you get them at their
weakest point, you can preach
into their minds whatever you
want to say".

On the back of the album cover
of Venom is written: We are
possessed by all that is evil.
The death of your God we
demand. We spit at the virgin
Mary and sit at lord Satan's
left hand.

What is the focus of heavy
metal music? The focus of
heavy metal music is mostly
drugs, aggression, sex and the
occult. It also advertise
lawlessnes and the freedom of
sex and drugs. On album covers
black candles, pentagrams, and
the 666 mark are found.

Danger in the music: Music is a
powerful weapon in the hands of
Satan. In time teen-agers and
children are brainwashed to the
extend where they don't know
the difference between right
and wrong.

Not all whom are listening to
heavy metal music are
satanists, yet all satanists
listen to heavy metal music ~
Ask these questions: Would you
invite Jesus Christ to sit down
and listen to heavy metal music
with you? Is this music praising
or blaspheming God ?

The song Symphathy for the
Devil by the Rolling Stones, is
the official anthem for The
Church Of Satan. In it Lucifer
speaks in the first person and
asks sympathy for all who meet
him. Lead singer, Mick Jagger,
claims that Anton Lavey help
inspire their music. Their album
titled: Satanic Majestic
Request, leaves no doubt to
their allegiance.

Pink Floyd - Sheep: The lord is
my shepherd, I shall not want.
With bright knives he releaseth
my soul, he maketh me to hang
on hooks in high places, for lo',
he hath great power and a
great hunger.

Black Sabbath - Black
Sabbath: What is this that
stands before me? Figure in
black which points at me, big
black shape with eyes of fire.
Satan's sitting there, he's
smiling. Watcher those flames
get higher and higher. Oh no,
no, please God help me. Satan's
coming round the bend.

Black Sabbath - N.I.B.: Some
people say my love can not be
true, please believe me my love,
and I will show you. I will give
you those things you thought
unreal, your love for me has
just got to be real. Look into
my eyes, you will see who I am.
My name is Lucifer, please take
my hand.....

Studies taken by the Georgian
Police Academy revealed 90% of
those involved in satanism, are
teenagers ~

At the 1992 MTV Awards, the
group Red Hot Chilli Peppers,
upon receiving their award and
giving thanks said: First of all
we want to thank Satan ...

Pink Floyd - Lucifer Sam:
Lucifer Sam, always sitting by
your side, always by your
side...

AC/DC - Hells Bells: I got my
bell, I'm gonna take you to
hell. I'm gonna get ya. Satan
get ya.....

Are we on the Way of God, or
on the way to hell?

AC/DC - Highway to hell: Aint
nothing I would rather do, going
down, party time. My friends
are gonna be there too, hey
satan paid my dues, I'm on the
way to the promised land, I'm
on the highway to hell.

we must choose which way are
we following, the Way of God,
or the highway to hell. There
are so many people listening to
heavy metal music, yet claiming
to be following the Way of God.

Now I just would like to know,
how can someone sing, I'm on
the highway to hell, and claim
to walk in the Way of God?

Eagles - Hotel California: One
of the top songs of the 70's,
Hotel California by the Eagles.
Most people have no idea the
song refers to the church of
satan, which happens to be
located in a converted hotel on
California Street in
California. On the inside of
the album cover, looking down on
the festivities, is Anton
Szandor Lavey, the founder of
the church of satan and author
of the satanic bible. People say
the Eagles are not serious,
they are just selling records.
The Eagles manager, Larry
Salter, admitted in the Waco
Tribune Herald, 28 February
1982, that the Eagles were
involved with the church of
satan. An Eagles song - Have a
good day in hell.

The group K.I.S.S. leaped on
stage as rock 'n roll demons,
puking blood, breathing fire and
screaming : God of Rock 'n Roll,
we steal your virgin soul. In
their song: God of thunder,
they command young people to
kneel before satan: I'm lord of
the wasteland, a modern day
man of steel. I gather darkness
to please me and I command you
to kneel before the god of
thunder, the god of rock 'n
roll. I'll steal your virgin soul.

most heavy metal groups are
praising satan, even tho ones
who don't praise him outright ~
are certainly not putting God in
there ~~~ heavy metal music
(all music... some country, rap,
etc...) when it is not praising
God ~ then it automatically... is
"worldly"(praising satan) ... and it will open
"doors" for you - and your
household - that you may not
be ready to deal with. It will
do this even when you are "just
listening, for fun".............the best thing
to do is not listen to any music
that isnt godly music.......

satan wants nothing more than
you to listen to all that stuff
and think "oh its harmless, i
love God...." (((sound familiar ?)))
if you wouldnt invite God to sit
down and listen (or watch) it
with you (or read it)~ (or play
the game on computer with you)

..... then don't do it !!!!!

this is why we as parents ~
NEED TO BE AWARE OF
THESE THINGS NOW !!!

In the end, so many people stil
claim that this music does not
have a bad influence. Well, I
think in the end, music that
blasphemes God and praises
satan, does have a bad
influence for he is against God
and no true Christian can be
listening to this kind of music.

Question: Was satan in charge
of music in heaven? Ezekiel
28:13; of the King James
Version and New Kings James
Version seems to hint that
satan was involved with music in
heaven. (before the fall)

The N.K.J.V. says: "The
workmanship of your timbrees
and pipes was prepared for you
on the day you were created".

Although the exact meaning of
this difficult Hebrew text is
uncertain. There may have been
such instruments in heaven, but
there is no evidence outside this
verse to verify it ~
Revelation 5:8; and 15:2;
refer to the harps, but not to
timbrels, or pipes. The two
scripture passages that
describe satan before he fell
are Ezekiel 28:12 to 19 and
Isaiah 14:12 to 15; Satan was
the anointed cherub...

PEOPLE NEED TO HEAR THIS
TRUTH ~~~ focus on Jesus
with ALL OF YOUR LIFE ~
music, games, books, LET ALL
YOU DO PRAISE THE NAME
OF JESUS !!!!!
