Journey With Me

My holy people; even while in captivity, Paul did many mighty things. I tell you that there are many mighty things coming your way as you determine in your heart to serve Me, no matter what. I am looking for those who will covenant with Me to follow Me throughout their days.

Much can discourage and hinder you as you set your heart to radically follow Me. However nothing by any means can stop you. I am looking for those who will covenant with Me to follow Me throughout their days.

There are days of great healing coming. There are days of great miracles coming. There are days of great honor and testing and promised visions fulfilled ahead. As you covenant with Me, all the promises of My Kingdom become yes and amen to you. I am looking for those who will covenant with Me to follow Me throughout their days.

I sent you the Holy Spirit to lead you and guide you and teach you. I have promised to equip you and provide a good future for you. I have given you everything that pertains to life and Godliness. My love for you can never be taken away and all of My hopes and dreams for you are good and wholesome. I am looking for those who will covenant with Me to follow Me throughout their days.

I have prepared a place for you in heavenly places, in Me. I come and receive you to Myself so that you can be where I am. I have given you purpose and a function within My Body. I have promised never to leave you and never to forsake you. I am looking for those who will covenant with Me to follow Me throughout their days.

Though days may be bright, I have promised to save you from your pride. Though days may be dim, I have promised to save you from discouragement and depression. Though days may be hard and long, I have promised to give you My strength. I am looking for those who will covenant with Me to follow Me throughout their days.

Forever is a long time and that is how long I have promised to be with you. A lifetime is not that long a time and yet I am looking for those who will covenant with Me, not just today but for all their days. If you will obey My commands I will reveal Myself to you, I will manifest Myself to you.

Today is a day of great decision for you. I ask you to make a stand, to take a stand, for our relationship to grow and flourish. I am asking you to covenant with Me to follow Me throughout your days. Not just when things are looking good. Not just when you are being good. Not just when you feel like it or when you believe it is the right thing to do. I am asking you to follow Me all the days of your life. What is your answer to Me?

No devil can stand in the way. No fear can prevent you. No obstacle, regardless of how formidable it may seem, can hinder you; for I sent My Son to make a way for you. My Spirit stands ready to assist, to comfort, to help you, as you determine to journey with Me. I will empower you, enabling you to keep your heart steadfast, always looking to Me. Today I say, set your heart on making this journey with Me. Covenant with Me to journey with Me.

Seek My Face. Call upon My Name. Get ready for the adventure of living.

Hate

If "it is right and proper to hate" anyone (including despicable traitors and other criminals who deserve very serious sanction), how should we weigh this advice against the teachings of Jesus regarding questions of "hate"? Would we not be facing a contradiction?” It is no contradiction to hate Satan’s people and to despise their duped followers.

Not only is it right and proper it is Biblical, Psa 109:1-12 Psa 58,55 149: 5-9 and most of Matt 23

I am sure that there are those who do not understand the word HATE and consider it to be ungodly to hate anyone or their deeds. They have listened to the 4F (Flannel Faced* Flock Fleecers) "preachers" who are clueless.
*Flannel Faced = They hide behind a religious mask, but mock God.

What did God say about hate? Amongst others He said:
Rom 9:13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.

Why Esau? Heb 12:16 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.

This nation is OUR birthright, and I will not give that which is God's to the miscreants*.
*Miscreant: MIS'CREANT, n. [L. credens, credo.] 1. An infidel, or one who embraces a false faith. 2. A vile wretch; an unprincipled fellow. (from the 1828 Webster Dictionary).

And we have the words of David whom God loved:
Psa 139:21 Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
Psa 139:22 I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.
Pro 8:13 The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.

Join me in the hatred of those who do evil because that puts me in the best of company.

If God hates it, then I too hate it. PERIOD!”

A Great Deception

This is a two-part report: The first part deals with the incredible amount of lying that has been going on with regard to the nation's unemployment numbers; the second deals with the societal impact that unemployment is having on the country - AND IT DEALS WITH THIS IN A CONCRETE MANNER THAT UTILIZES THE "EYES-ON" OBSERVATIONS OF A COURAGEOUS POLICE SERGEANT IN THE ATLANTA AREA. What makes this important insofar as Christians are concerned is that the business elites responsible for all the lying that's been occurring have "tricked" American Christians into believing that they are on the side of the "angels" - that is to say, "Christ and the church" - when in fact they have no concern at all for the message of the "Poor Carpenter of Nazareth." This is part and parcel of the "GREAT DECEPTION" of the "end of days" - tricking Christians into taking the side of the devil:

"Let no man DECEIVE you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away [APOSTASY] first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition ..." [Please see our article, "Apostasy: Christianity in the Service of a Religio-Political-Corporate-Terrorist State."

Don't you allow yourself to be DECEIVED IN YOUR EFFORT TO MAINTAIN YOURSELF ECONOMICALLY; some of my closest companions have done so; and if they can "fall away," so can you unless you pay very close attention to what is happening. That's what prophecy is all about - guiding you through the DECEPTION at the "end of the age." Please also see our articles, "The United States: Replicating the Slave Economy of the Old South and Leaving Average Citizens to Sink into Poverty" and "A Permanent 30% Unemployment Rate."

Satan's 7 High Ranking Principalities Of Hell Taught To Witches


"Thus, it is with great hesitancy that I list the seven high-ranking, major principalities of Hell that are taught to witches. I do feel that, in order to give you a clear understanding of possessions and who causes them and why, they [the demonic beings] must be listed ..."

1) "Rege -- He is the General of the occult. He directs the use of such drugs as marihuana, hashish, cocaine, speed, LSD, peyote and mescaline. These are drugs of sorcery. They attack the mind and open it up for a demon to enter. Rege is also responsible for seeing that music is hexed."
Of great interest is the name of the lesser marijuana demon who reports directly to Rege. His name is 'Jah' and is considered the 'god of marijuana' by many practicing occultists. Listen to this quote from John Lennon, the founder of the Beatles.
"During the recording session for Revolver, The Beatles worked on the track 'Rain' which would eventually be released as a single. It contained recording-history's first use of reversed music and voices. While working on the song, John, high on marijuana, accidentally loaded the tapes backward, resulting in a sound that 'transfixed' him. He called the inspiration 'the gift of God - of Jah, actually, the god of marijuana. Jah gave me that one'. The first backward tape on any record anywhere." (The Lennon Prophecy: A New Examination of the Death Clues of the Beatles", by Joseph Niezgoda, New Chapter Press, p. 68)
My research into the occult has revealed to me that the "opening of one's mind to higher levels of consciousness" is absolutely critical to the development of that person to the higher levels of the occult. And, such "opening of one's mind" is absolutely dependent upon taking drugs. Therefore, we should see a tremendous problem of people taking drugs on a widespread, and unprecedented, manner. Do we see such a problem in today's news?
As far as today's popular music being hexed, I believe it totally. Space and time do not permit me to go into detail on this point; however, I simply submit to you here that people being trained in witchcraft are told that popular music, especially that targeted for teens and pre-teens, is hexed for maximum occultic effect.


2) "Larz -- Demon of Sexual lust, homosexuality, bi-sexuality, adultery, and other such sexual pleasures." Again, our daily news is filled with sex and sexual perversions. Pornography, both "hard core" and soft core" can be found in any small to large town and city throughout our land. Our TV air waves are absolutely full of movies and sitcoms that liberally use sex to entice people to watch. Our prisons are full of people convicted of all sorts of sexual crimes, from rape to child molestation. Video stores are seemingly on every , most of which feature large 'Adults Only' 'XXX-Movies'. The Internet is crawling with such "Adult Only" pornography.
Larz is enjoying greater success in America than ever in our nation's history. One of his greatest American successes has to be the legitimizing of homosexuality and bi-sexuality. When a person is invited to become a witch, he or she is first "treated" to a great big party, where alcohol and drugs flow freely, and sex is available to anyone who wants it, whichever way they want it. Alcohol, drugs, and wild, raunchy sex all serve the same purpose: to sever the person's old value system and conscience from their current life style. Sex is also very critical to witchcraft. At its base, it is fulfillment of Romans 1:25-29, especially verse 25, where people are worshipping the creature [sex] rather than the Creator. And, Paul makes it quite clear, in verses 26-29 that this perversion of true worship results in all types of uncleanness and sexual perversity. We should expect to see an obsession with sex throughout our society.

3) "Bacchus -- Demon of addictions, such as drugs, smoking, and alcohol." Satan loves to capture a person in some sort of addiction, for then it is much easier to control that person for his diabolical, perverted ends. We absolutely do see these types of addictions plaguing America today. I am sure that no one hooked on cigarettes ever thought they were a victim of the workings of the demon, Bacchus, working to achieve the New World Order! Yet, it is true. We do see a literal plague of these type of addictions. And, yes, Rege and Bacchus can and do work very closely together to maximize their respective areas of responsibility, they and their army of demons.

4) "Pan -- Demon of the mind. He causes mental illnesses, depression, suicide, nerves, and rejection". Have you noticed that when a person becomes depressed, or feels rejected, he'll turn to drugs or something else that will eventually become addictive? You see how one demon will cause you to go to another? Pan causes you to become depressed, so you go to Rege, the demon of the occult and drugs, and he in turn sends you to Bacchus, the demon of addiction. It's all one big circle in which they try to keep you trapped forever. I wonder if Dr. Jack Kevorkian is knowingly in league with Pan?
This type of cooperation between the various demonic leaders and their fiefdoms really strikes a chord with me in America today. We have millions of Americans caught in more than one addiction! The social consequences are severe, and spiritually deadly. American society is being prepared to accept the Satanic Antichrist, and his perverted, twisted society. Can you not see, through the daily news, how close we are?

5) "Medit -- Demon of hate, murder, killing, war, jealousy, envy, and gossip." This sounds like our TV Soap Operas, both daytime and night, does it not? This demon is also unbelievably active in our society today, filling our daily news with murder and mayhem. I am sure that the activists who are fighting domestic abuse and violence never contemplated that they may be fighting a demonic host. Again, when this demonic division cooperates with the divisions promoting addiction, drugs, alcohol, mental illness, and the like, you get a most powerful group of problems, of a disastrous nature!

6) "Set -- Demon of Death. There really IS such a thing." Wars, terrorism, and murder are raging throughout the world. This Twentieth Century has been the most violent and bloody in world history. Almost all the massive genocides have occurred this century. And, the return of Israel back to her land started the End of the Age time clock ticking, also in this century [1948, to be exact]. This demon marches with the armies of this world, with the guerillas in the jungles, and with the inner city gangs. This demon lurks in the darkness of night, waiting to strike without warning, without mercy, and without any reason. "Set" is his name; Death is his game.

7) "Christian Demon" -- This particular demon has no set name. He is so powerful that most witches won't even bother him ... Getting Christians to talk about each other through gossiping and causing strife within the church and among the brethren ... He will also try to weaken a Christian's walk with the Lord by making him content, fail to live up to church commitments, such as tithing, soul-winning, church participation, and much more."

Could the persistent activities of this demon be responsible for the "Apostasy" of the Christian Church? Since 1948, the year Israel was returned to her land, was also the time of the creation of the Ecumenical World Council of Churches and our own National Council of Churches. New Age authors are quite bold in saying that these movements are absolutely essential in uniting the religions of the world into the coming New World Order Religion, of The Christ. I have always concluded that the Christian Churches hold THE key to the appearance of Antichrist. As long as we strongly held the Truth of the Gospel, refusing to compromise, Antichrist could not appear. But, soon after Christian Churches began to drift away from key doctrines, and compromising the Truth of the Gospel, we should expect to see the forces of Antichrist charging forward. Indeed, this scenario is occurring today. Congratulations, Liberal Christian leaders! You have just opened the door for Antichrist!!

Now that you know the 7 major divisions of Hell, and what each division is responsible to make happen on Earth, can you understand a little better what is happening in our world today -- in our daily news -- and why it is happening? Are you spiritually ready? Is your family? Are you adequately protecting your loved ones? This is the reason for this posting, to enable you to first understand the peril facing you, and then help you develop strategies to warn and protect your loved ones. Once you have been thoroughly trained, you can also use your knowledge as a means to open the door of discussion with an unsaved person. I have been able to use it many times, and have seen people come to Jesus Christ as a result. These perilous times are also a time when we can reach many souls for Jesus Christ, making an eternal difference.

God On The Mountain


My children, the Father is speaking to you today because you need to hear the voice of the Lord and He has much to say unto you at this time. The world has become a fearful place and is even causing My very own to fear life and some even the fear of death. I say unto you, My little ones, who are born of My Spirit, that you have no reason to be afraid for your heavenly Father is always near and nothing can harm you; and you question that, as you know that even my own have been abused and murdered and many bad things seems to be coming your way from every direction. I say unto you to keep trusting Me, for there is nothing that can harm the soul of My people, for you are safe in the keeping of the Holy One. There are things that come your way that causes you to fear and doubt Me and cause you to lose the blessings that I desire to bestow unto you. But I say, little children, be in a spirit of prayer at all times and seek the leading of your Father and He will be your protector. There have been and will be many that will die for the name of Christ. I say unto you that your enemy is coming stronger against you but keep in your mind and heart that nothing can come by me unless it passes first by the eyes of My heavenly Father. It is much better to die for the name of Christ than of sickness and disease or even of old age. The word is and my speech is always to trust in the Lord for He is able to take care of any thing that comes by you and every thing that would harm the flesh will come to make you stronger in the spiritual realm. There is not one that hasn't been touched by something that the flesh disdained, but every thing will turn out for a blessing in your life if you keep your confidence in the living God. God as Father loves you, God as Son loves you, and God as the Holy Spirit loves you. To those that are heart broken and suffering, let Me speak My words of love and comfort to you and let Me say that I rejoice with you and sorrow in your sorrows, for there is always love and compassion in the heart of your heavenly Father. Come unto Me and let Me bless you with My divine presence, for I remain as close to you as you do to Me, and I am with you when you go your way and forsake Me. I am He that oversees a sinful world.

Wait


Little ones, do not think that because you, the remnant, are small in number means that you are special. Rather, you are chosen. You are chosen to bring the Good News to the world at the appointed hour. This is the Triumph for which my Heart awaits with great anticipation.
All is set now. All is in motion. The hand of my Son is ready to move in the most sovereign way. Pay careful attention to my voice. I am preparing you, my little ones, for this Great Hour of Mercy. Jesus is coming, coming as Light, to awaken souls steeped in darkness. For the darkness is great, but the Light is far greater.
When Jesus comes, much will come to light, and the darkness will be scattered. It is then that you will be sent, like the Apostles of old, to gather souls into my Motherly garments.
Wait. All is ready. Watch and pray. Never lose hope, for God loves everyone.

Glory To Glory

The days are here and coming where the evidence matters little;
Where truth is subjective;
Where history is rewritten;
Where the wisdom of the ages is mocked;
Where reason is replaced by emotion;
Freedom displaced by tyranny.

The intolerance of "tolerance!"


It is curious how those who accuse Christians of hatred and intolerance are often the most venomous in tone and intent. It is the most obvious and easily over-looked hypocrisy of our times.

Jesus prophesied these days at the very beginning of His ministry:

"And this is the verdict, that the light came into the world, but people preferred darkness to light, because their works were evil. For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come toward the light, so that his works might not be exposed". John 3:19-20

Once again, brothers and sisters, we should not be afraid to call evil by its name, recognizing that we are living in an extraordinary battle.

Discouraging, confusing, dangerous. Nonetheless, we need to speak the truth while it is time for speaking truth, even if it means we might get scolded at times by those who want us to speak less.

You know that he was revealed to take away sins. The blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.

"Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world"!
1 John 3:5; 1:7; John 1:29

Satan and the enemies of life would love for you and I to crawl into a hole and remain silent. This is not the answer. For whether we speak or whether we are silent, our lives must shout the Gospel of Jesus Christ through either our words or our deeds; through the proclamation of truth or the witness of love…a love that triumphs. Christianity is not a religion of philosophical babble but the Gospel of tranformation where those who believe in Jesus, who turn from a life of sin, and follow in the footsteps of the Master, are "transformed from glory to glory" 2 Cor 3:18 through the power of the Holy Spirit. This transformation should be visible to the world in all that we are and do. Without it, our witness is sterile, our words powerless.

Stop Trying To Work Things Out

. . . before their times have come. Accept the limitations of living one day at a time. When something comes to your attention, ask ME whether or not it is part of today's agenda. If it isn't, release it into MY care and go on about today's duties.
When you follow this practice, there will be a beautiful simplicity about your life: a time for everything, and everything in its time.
A life lived close to Me is not complicated or cluttered. When your focus is on MY Presence, many things that troubled you lose their power over you.
Though the world around you is messy and confusing, remember that I have overcome the world. I have told you these things, so that in ME you may have Peace.

Come Out Of Corruption


3 God's power has given us everything we need for life and godliness, through our knowing the One who called us to his own glory and goodness. 4 By these he has given us valuable and superlatively great promises, so that through them you might come to share in God's nature and escape the corruption which evil desires have brought into the world. 5 For this very reason, try your hardest to furnish your faith with goodness, goodness with knowledge, 6 knowledge with self-control, self-control with perseverance, perseverance with godliness, 7 godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love. 8 For if you have these qualities in abundance, they keep you from being barren and unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah. 9 Indeed, whoever lacks them is blind, so shortsighted that he forgets that his past sins have been washed away. 10 Therefore, brothers, try even harder to make your being called and chosen a certainty. For if you keep doing this, you will never stumble. 2 Peter 1:3-10

My holy people; corruption is the real enemy. Corruption is the real enemy that is at work not only in the world, but also very much at work in you. Do you desire to escape it? Do you desire to circumvent its power in and over you? Then receive My promises and act upon them, for through My promises there is a way to escape this corruption, to overcome its exercised power in and over you.

Do you realize that there is a diminishing of everything in the world? Even the deep things of My Holy Spirit diminish over time. This is the work of corruption. You grow old. You receive a fresh infilling and then you see it trickle away. You are slower to receive. You are slower to initiate. All this is corruption at work in you and around you.

By and through My great power, there is a way to escape even this diminishing of all things. This is the avenue I desire each of My holy people to follow, to walk in, to press into. My power will cause you to walk out from under the canopy of corruption, into the canopy of My Kingdom. In the Kingdom of heaven there is no corruption.

Ask Me and I will teach you how to escape this enemy that threatens everything, but most importantly it threatens My planned purpose for your life. Walk in My power.
Seek Me and I will reveal to you the methods of shedding yourself of this husk of corruption and enter into My new for you. Walk in My purposes.
Knock on the door and I will open to you the secrets of My Kingdom, allowing you to maintain instead of diminish. Walk through My open door to liberty.

All that the spirit of religion desires is to diminish, to incapacitate, to humiliate and to inundate. All that I desire is that you may live to the full. Allow Me to show you how to overcome corruption. It will lead to freedom: both for you and for those you disciple. It will also lead to fulfillment of My will and the working of My power through you.

Seek My Face. Call upon My Name. Escape the corruption which evil desires have brought into the world.

He Lives Within Us



God digs deep in us. With each digging, the soil of our soul is turned over, aerated where Spirit fills with sweet healing breath, ready to spring forth life. Each of us experiences loss in profoundly personal and different ways.
The teaching, the jewels of Life, are found in those deep dark crevices. If only we let Him dig for them.
The suffering and the glory, so bound up with each other that we don't know where one begins and the other ends. This is the mystery, the celebration, the death and resurrection.

Lord,
Thank You for the gift of HOPE You gave us on Easter morning. Because of You we know that no problem is too difficult.
And even death does not have power over us.
Thank You for the gift of JOY You gave us when You were resurrected. Because of You we know that no matter how challenging life may be, In the end we will rejoice again.
We celebrate You, JESUS, with hearts full of praise and gratitude, for who You are and all You've done for us!
Amen.

Speak My Words To Them

You are to speak my words to them, whether they listen or not, for they are very rebellious. Ezekiel 2:7

My holy people; there are many of you that are prophetically gifted. You have the Holy Spirit gift of prophecy that allows you to speak My Son’s testimony in the midst. This is a precious gift yet it is one that many hate with fervor. For you speak the truth. Many hate the truth: for the truth confronts and the truth requires that people make a change and that causes many to rise up and strike out at you.

That is nothing new. They have done it throughout history. What does it mean? It means they are very rebellious. It means that there are many very rebellious people in My church. I have sent you into their midst to confront their rebellion and to cause them to wake up and make a change. Simply put, few will listen, few will make the needed change, most do not listen and they strike out at the messenger, rather than heeding My words and making a change.

Do you understand that I love them too? I am not terrible to you, but I am using you to reach out to the rebellious ones, in hopes that they will turn from their rebellion, back to Me.

You have been given My more than sufficient grace. You need it. Drink it. Partake of it. Soak in it and receive it more and more and more. For I am not done sending you to My rebellious ones. This is simply a respite, a time to gather strength for greater battles ahead. Be healed of the hurts. For these hurts were not necessary. Protect your heart. Do not strike back at the rebellious ones. No, like My Son prayed, pray for them: Father forgive them , for they do not know what they are doing! As you continue to pray for them and realize that repentance is a gift, just like the gift of prophecy is a gift. You do not have the capacity in yourself, but you have the capacity in Me. Protect your heart. Reach out and I will heal it. Reach out and receive My healing balm today. Reach out and take back all that the enemy has stolen. Receive and rest in My more than sufficient grace to heal today. You need some R&R … receive and rest today.

You are to speak My words to them, whether they listen or not. Did you hear that? Whether they listen or not, you must continue to speak My words to them, for without My words, there is no avenue for change to come in their lives. My words break through barriers and there are some that do hear and are struck to the heart and do repent and turn around. Keep speaking My words.

Do not speak your own words, but fearlessly speak My own words, for they cause a shattering, a breaking and a smashing of all that is false. My words cut straight to the point. Some would say they are difficult to understand … even these are slow to hear and slow to learn. Keep speaking My words, for they are themselves a gift of My more than sufficient grace to be received and rested in. My words must be spoken. Deliver them with passion and watch My purposes unfold before you. Speak clearly and speak without regard to their faces. Instead, seek My face alone. Seek My Face. Call upon My Name. What you hear in secret, speak boldly before all.

Meet Me In The Meadow


You will never meet a fear that Jesus has not conquered; you will never face an enemy that Jesus has not defeated; you will never have a need that Jesus cannot meet; you will never face a temptation that Jesus cannot overcome; you will never have a burden that Jesus cannot lift; you will never face a problem that Jesus cannot solve; you will never know a bondage that Jesus cannot break; you will never know a circumstance when Jesus is not sufficient; you will never experience a moment when Jesus does not care.
~Meet Me in the Meadow by Roy Lessin~


“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood. And you have forgotten that word of encouragement that addresses you as sons: "My son, do not make light of the Lord's discipline, and do not lose heart when he rebukes you, because the Lord disciplines those he loves, and he punishes everyone he accepts as a son." – Hebrews 12:1-6

"O my God, with all the strength of my soul, assisted by Your Holy Spirit and grace, I desire and resolve to resist and deny all my own will, earthy tempers, selfish views and inclinations--everything that the spirit of this world and the vanity of fallen nature draws me to. I give myself up wholly and solely to You; to be all Yours, to have, do, and be, inwardly and outwardly, according to Your good pleasure. I desire to live for no other purpose than to accomplish the work that You require of me--a humble, obedient, faithful, thankful instrument in Your hands, to be used as You please."

The Ten Commandments Of Self Defense



Each one works synergistically with the others to form a cohesive whole.

1 Evaluate the situation. Survey your environment, including the person you're dealing with, bystanders, access to weapons, escape routes and so on. Take note of what can help you and what can hurt you.
2 Follow the three-foot rule. If your assailant has to take a step to reach you, he'll telegraph his intentions, thus giving you a chance to be proactive. Once the distance has been breached, he can do you harm and you can do him harm.
3 Start from a nonthreatening stance. Use deceptive body language and vocal intonation to control your opponent and the situation. Make sure you don't look intimidating. During the interim, prepare to attack him on your terms.
4 Control the focus, Manipulate his attention with verbiage, eye movement, body motions and strikes, That enables you to dictate a proactive response, Remember that motion causes motion. Your actions cause him to react to your techniques and vice versa.
6 Use the element of surprise, Hit him where, when and how he least expects it. Set up your strikes using deception.
7 Strike from the closest point. Remember to use the closest tool to hit the closest target. It increases your chance of landing blows consistently and repeatedly.
8 Change the focus. Strike your enemy's face to strategically place him in a disadvantageous position, which enables you to finish him more quickly
9 Use the high-low principle. Because no one can defend against simultaneous attacks aimed at different levels, you can succeed by alternating your techniques from high line to low line or vice versa
10 Remember that you can move forward more quickly than your opponent can move backward. When you drive him back using forward pressure, you disrupt his mind and his balance. It's difficult for him to think about attacking.

37 Mark the blameless man and behold the upright, for there is a happy end for the man of peace. 38 As for transgressors, they shall be destroyed together; in the end they shall be cut off. 39 But the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord; He is their Refuge and secure Stronghold in the time of trouble. Psalm 37:37-39
