Why Illuminati Doesn't Phase Me

Well actually this post should say; Why the Devil doesn't phase me.

From under the covers of my bed - me and my sister used to scare ourselves into prayer from watching the 'The Truth of HipHop' and 'Tupac Songs reversed'. I remembered when I first learned the truths about the likes of Rihanna, Kanye West, Beyonce, Will Smith etc etc. It was a way of being "aware" of the world and being careful to not partake in their doings. The evil symbolism were (still is) everywhere and the more I learned about this 'World Order' the more I became paranoid and unable to enjoy my God given life. I became judgemental and watching those horror movies on Youtube became my daily task. However the horror behind all this was that although I knew the truth, I still found myself being inticed by their repetitive songs of nothingness. Each time I'd finish listening to a worldly song I'd fill myself with Youtube videos again to scare myself from not doing it again. All the while I prayed and prayed so hard for God to save them to change their hearts. But each time I did I felt like my prayers were empty and forced because of the things I'd seen. I was praying for God to change the circumstances of this world and not my heart. I was unaware that I was feeding my brain and heart with fear so therefore my speech would also become fear.

As an ex-onlooker of conspiracy blogs and Youtube videos, I say that I was foolish and I had insulted God. From this fear of the Devil, I'd discredited God and his purpose for me. I thought that I was doing right but I was looking at the wrong things, I was looking at the ruins and mourning for this world rather than looking at God for comfort and hope. As an unbeliever it is natural to look at all this world has come to and be sorrowful, but as a Christian, all this only gives us hope that Christ is coming back sooner than we think.


I look at the world now through new eyes -

10 reasons why I'm not phased by Illuminati

1. Illuminati obviously has no clue who my God is.
2. I know that their path ends in destruction.
3. I have the greatest protection one could ever have - If God is for me who can be against me?
4. God has defeated any strongholds over my life.
5. They are fools
6. God has opened my eyes to the truth, therefore I don't fall for their sweet talk
7. God is coming back for me
8. I already have victory over the devil
9. Gives me hope that Christ is returning very soon.
10. It's a joke! and the people who follow them are jokers!

I laugh in the face of the devil, not by curses or the stamping of my feet, but by Christ, being courageous standing firm in my faith, being on my guard and living rightfully according to God's will - THAT'S how I laugh in satan's face.
WHO ARE YOU satan? Nobody. Where is your sting oh Death? Satan has no significance in my life. I refuse to be humble when describing my God, the only person I'll ever boast about is Jesus Christ, even in the midst of turmoil.
So if you're addicted to finding the "truth" I beg you find it in your Bible, it's the only place where you can be warned and have hope at the same time. We need not look to anywhere else but to God.
When all is failing around us, take heed and remember who you serve.


“Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?”

The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.

1 Corinthians 15:54-58

I didn't put any links to any Illuminati blogs nor did I post any images of it. I think it is unnecessary. Look to the cross.

Stop Motion

Hello guys
I'm not sure if you're familiar with what I do, not sure if i've mentioned it... But I'm a Graphic Design or at least, in the making and I pretty much explore all areas of design. For me it's so much about just the 2D aspects that make Graphic Design but also but investigation into 3D and motion pictures. So here is a little stop motion video I did for one of my projects. It's my very first time away from my comfort zone which is 2D and moving into stop motion video so things aren't too perfect. I still want to make more video once I have a better camera (Which I still can't decide on)

Interracial Relationships

Someone posted this on Youtube (About Interracial Relationships) I thought it was interesting.

"God created the dark` God created light, He also created black and white, If He was displeased with mixing the two together, There would be no spring summer or fall, or bouts of stormy weather, There would be no sunsets mixing into night, Or the beautiful range of skin tones that determine black and white".

what are your views? I know that we are well in the 21st century however time does not always mean change of attitude. From a personal perspective I don't know why this is even an issue and I don't understand the uproar - I've grown up with sooo many mixed cultures and interracial relationships so I guess it's natural for me but for some who maybe haven't had this upbringing it may be quite daunting... It's easy to bash people for their opposing views for this but I feel that each person has his or her reasons and the best we as people can do is listen and pray...

Hmm I feel inspired for the next post I want to write.

Look what I found Mummy!

Where From:COW Vintage - Birmingham

How Much:£3

I went to a wonderful vintage store called COW Vintage in Birmingham and pulled this little dress out. They have several stores around the UK. I got 4 dresses that were on sale for £3 each!!! I wore one of them today and I don't think I've felt this girly in a while, so it was a nice change from jumpsuits, Maxi dresses and army boots.

I do apologize for these crappy photos, bad lighting, bad camera...Bad photographer lol

and since the pictures didn't really do these justice I snapped this of me in it (Correction my sister snapped it lol). I love how loose the material is, it gave me more to work with and since I loathe skin tight clothes, this garment is positively delightful!

Note: The red belt didn't come with the dress

Do It Yourself Part 2

Hellooo my dearly beloved, remember this post? Well I did actually do some D.I.Y projects and here are the outcomes. I got my dear friend Tania to model some of my creations for me. They're not exactly what I planned to do but i got a little lazy and broke so I settled for a bit of crotchet... I've been knitting for almost a year now and crocheting for about 5 months now. I find that knitting is the easier to learn but it is not as versatile as crocheting.

 

Good People?

I love witnessing to people and one thing that always pops up is the declaration of being 'good'. The problem with classing oneself as good is that it is always in comparison to others. If you were to ask anyone if they were good the majority of them would say they were good because the petty things they'd done is nothing compared to murders and terrorists (Remember that the word of God says that "Anyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life in him".- 1 John 3:15)
But are we all that different though? Even if you think you are a good person who lies now and then and lusts once in a while - Are you really that different from a person that kills for a living? The truth is that all of us have sinned. Romans 3:10-18 says

“There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands, no one who seeks God. All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one. Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit. The poison of vipers is on their lips. Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness. Their feet are swift to shed blood; ruin and misery mark their ways, and the way of peace they do not know. There is no fear of God before their eyes.”

There are no different levels of hell. Hell is hell and anyone who has sinned ends up there there regardless of the sin and to the extent it has been committed. I was watching CSI the other day and there were two story lines, the first one was about a man that had killed a whole family and the second was about a man who had clumsily killed his wife and his neighbour. The important thing to note here is that they both had different intentions. One woke up with the intention of killing and the other... not really. The fact is that they both ended up in the exact same place. God does not class one sin worse than the other and therefore all sinners go to one place. Luckily for us, God always gives grace before He gives judgment. The hope is that Jesus came regardless of people's intentions so that we could have another chance.
Imagine if you were in the place of those two men and you were sentenced to life or you had to pay an unspeakable amount of money, but then a man comes in and says I'll pay it all for you. You don't have to pay me back because you can't. That is exactly what Jesus did, He paid it all for us even though he know we can't ever repay him for what we did. In the midst of our sin, God loved us so much that he'd be willing to die for us. You've probably heard this a thousand times and believe me there is a reason why you're hearing this so many times.
Do you know how big the universe is? Our planet is tiny, the Sun is tiny,we as humans are microscopical, we are insignificant in terms of size and we should be insignificant in the eyes of God. But God, the creator of it all sees us as so important, in fact, even the Angels of God don't understand the grace we receive (1 Peter 1:12). God created us higher than any other creation, we posses a special likeness to God something that is only unique to us.
Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."- (Genesis 1:26-27)

Imagine this. 

You're in a supermarket and you've got a big shopping cart, as you stroll along the aisles you pick up a big packet of lies, then you see some lust, 2 for 1 offer! so you hurry to get that too, you realize you need to pride and envy so you take that too, Oh almost forgot the box of hate and murder which should be around the corner, aisle 13, ah there they are. Hmm forgot something... Oh right almost forgot the 'taking God's name in vain' voucher. Your cart is full so you'll probably come back tomorrow to fill your cart up again. Right, your cart is full now so you make your way to the cashier. Right that'll be £5000000.9599999.999500.00000.000000 please the cashier says you look in your wallet and find nothing in there, then scramble through your pockets AHA, oh it's a penny. Teary eyed you know you have nothing to give the cashier. But then a man whom you know nothing of, says "it's okay I'll pay that for you". Staring in disbelief you step back and watch him give his all for you. Remember that penny you had? Well out of gratitude you give him it, it's all you have at that moment but all that he's done for you amounts to nothing in comparison to what he just did.

Now replace the supermarket with life, the cart with your life and habits, those things in the cart with the sins you've committed., the cashier with God the judge, the penny with your heart and that man, Jesus. The figures aren't accurate (lol) but it's my interpretation.

So now,You look down at the cart and realize that these things are all worthless, so the man that paid for you not only did you the biggest favour but replaced your hate with love, your lies with faith, your envy with spiritual satisfaction, your murderous heart with hope. Now it's up to you to give Him your last penny, not as to pay Him back but just to thank Him.
After all this would it be fair if you went back to the supermarket the next day to do those things again, to turn away from Him without a heart of gratitude? Or would you invite Him into your home and allow your life to be changed even further.
Unfortunately people have turned away without even a second glimpse. The day will come when we will have to account for all that is in our shopping cart. Will your shopping cart be filled with love, joy, faith, humility, forgiveness and hope or would it contain hate,envy, pride, murder and greed?
If so will you have the right amount then?
