Subject: Please pray forVinnie and me
> Julie,
> Thank you for your prayers. This all has come on rather suddenly. We are

> her
> organs and the vets saw some inflamation in her spleen and liver. This can
> indicate a number of different problems. The blood work results are of
> concern to us. Her liver levels are elevated and her albumin which has
> something to do with the clotting of blood was very low, if it falls just
> a
> fractional amount it could become critical! She is also, with no warning
> signs having pretty severe incontenence which comes and goes with no
> specific pattern to it. If I take her outside about every one to two hours
> through the day and night I can usually prevent accidents. I find it very
> disconcerting because there have been a few days when she has had normal
> bladder control, her energy was good and she seemed to be feeling like
> herself.
> I will have some more blood drawn in the next couple days and also a test

> I have put going to work on hold until I know better what my options are.

> Vinnie is a fantastic worker, but when she is not feeling well she is

> Actually she mostly just wants to stay near me and sleep right now, so I

> here at home pretty much all the time with her. I love being here with
> her,
> but I also really need to be looking for work; after all, I just completed
> eight months of rather rigorous BEP vending training.
> I am sure I will have some answers at least about the sweet Vinnie girl
> soon!I will let you all know when I know more myself.
> I very much appreciate your prayers during this time. God is also staying
> very close to us. I can sense His presence all around me and Vinnie . Know
> that I am praying for each one of you.

> : >:
> : >: It is the mind games which are designed to keep us off
> : >: balance spiritually speaking. "You are god's biggest mistake?"
> : >: First, God makes no mistakes so you can't be one. Second, God
> : >: would never say such a thing to you. Third, you only get one
> : >: guess to the true author that perpetrated that lie. Since it is a
> : >: lie, and since the mental and emotional games are created to
> : >: maintain spiritual unbalance, they have origins. That means,
> : >: they have roots so you think they have to be there or that there
> : >: must be something wrong with you or it is your nature to think
> : >: this way. Untrue. Lies only have one source. You have already
> : >: spoken one lie you are hearing and lies are like mice; where there
> : >: is one, there will be a lot more. One of our problems as
> : >: Christians is that we often cannot see lies for what they truly
> : >: are. Deceitfulness is conniving, underhanded, and can blind side
> : >: the best of Christians. The bases for a SAD or Search And
> : >: Destroy method, as I like to call them, is the recognition that
> : >: they are indeed lies. If you don't believe that, you won't be
> : >: able to eliminate and totally eradicate the lie itself.
> : >: Furthermore, if you are unwilling to go to the original location
> : >: of any given lie, you won't be able to find it and you will
> : >: continue to believe it because your emotion tell you it feels
> : >: true. We believe what we feel. Unfortunately, such lie based
> : >: Christian thinking is common. Furthermore, even if you do learn
> : >: the methodology of the Enemy and the origin, and the purpose, of
> : >: the original lie, he soon becomes cognoscente that your mind is
> : >: no longer a direct entry point in order to establish a foothold
> : >: of wrong thinking. You see, once you believe even one lie of the
> : >: Enemy, your emotions will respond no matter how much yoga,
> : >: transcendental meditation you practice, or marijuana you smoke.
> : >: I'm sort of kidding, of course. Where do such lies have their
> : >: origin? If I told you, you wouldn't believe me so I'll leave that
> : >: for another time. For now, let's just assume you accomplish, by
> : >: pure self effort, or Biblical memorization by the truck load, and
> : >: good old stick-to-itiveness, taking every thought captive. Have you
> : >: won the battle? No, because the Enemy will change tactics. And
> : >: what might those be? Every day life experience. The car breaks
> : >: down. "thanks a lot God. Don't you know we don't have the money
> : >: to even make our house payment let alone get this dumb car fixed?
> : >: Whose side are you on in the first place." My daughter comes home
> : >: drunk, or high, or worse. What do I have the tendency to think?
> : >: "I'm a lousy father. If I were only more spiritual. Say, that's
> : >: it. I'll spend more time in prayer. that's the ticket, I'll
> : >: become the best and the strongest and the wisest Christian on
> : >: God's green earth. Then nothing can stop me!" so I hit my knees
> : >: and beg God to have mercy on my daughter. The devil stands back
> : >: and laughs up his sleeve. You want to find out how spiritual we
> : >: really are, Kathy? Let the finance dry out, or be spread so
> : >: thin, that you can't keep up with your bills. "You'll never make
> : >: it now. If God really thought you were dedicated, He would be
> : >: meeting your needs." Of course, this type of lie based thinking,
> : >: or listening, is easily converted into the first person. If I,"
> : >: becomes the beginning of the statement. If you are unaware of
> : >: the nature and origin of this lie, you will be fooled and a
> : >: foothold will be established in your thinking. Eventually, if
> : >: allowed to perpetuate, it becomes a stronghold. What's the Enemy
> : >: attempting to do? He is trying to destabilize your relationship
> : >: and distort your closeness with the Lord and he does a mighty good
> : >: job of it, too. How do you combat the devil? "Oh, sure, I know
> : >: that one. Spiritual warfare. Sure, that's it. I can do that. I
> : >: can pray and whip the devil that way. The bible says so." No it
> : >: doesn't say any such thing. The bible declares the Enemy has
> : >: already lost and been exposed openly and we stand in victory with
> : >: Christ as one of his heirs. the next question becomes, "Well,
> : >: then why is all of this happening?" I'm glad you asked that
> : >: question because we are finally back at square one. It is
> : >: happening because of the lie based thinking we have. "But I'm a
> : >: Christian. I don't believe lies, do I?" Then why are you
> : >: thinking the way you do? You shouldn't even be a pastor the way
> : >: you think. You ever heard that lie? I heard that one a lot. The
> : >: next question is, "What do I do?" You learn how to detect the
> : >: lies, how to recognize the voice of the Enemy compared to that of
> : >: the voice of the Lord, and when you begin there, you learn how to
> : >: stand. Remember what Ephesians 6 says? It says at least three
> : >: times to stand. Not to push forward, not to slash and gouge, not
> : >: to take real estate, not to conquer, but simply to stand. A hell
> : >: of a way to fight a battle if you ask me, yet that is what it
> : >: says. "hell?" Yes, hell. We are standing with Jesus The Christ
> : >: who has already gained victory over hell. So we are fighting, by
> : >: standing, against hell. "Above all, taking the shield of faith,
> : >: where with you shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the
> : >: Enemy." All of them? Why? Jesus has already won and exposed the
> : >: enemy openly, stripped him naked, and that is, who he really is.
> : >: You ever tried to fight a naked person? It is more laughable than
> : >: effort. That's right. Laugh the devil right into the ground and
> : >: do it in the spirit. No, not like those screw balls in Florida
> : >: roaring like lions, barking like dogs, and laughing till they
> : >: puke. I'm talking about the spiritual world. That's where the
> : >: battle is and there's where the battle has been won. He's a
> : >: clown, not a king. the grand daddy Imposter of all times. He
> : >: cannot win because he does not have the authority to do so. You
> : >: do, though. I wonder where you got that authority? If you are a
> : >: little shaky on that answer or if your authority isn't working and
> : >: some of those fiery darts are getting through, you still believe a
> : >: lie somewhere. Let's find it.
