Big Blue Planet...but, not Earth? What??

I had a very vivid dream, a couple years ago, about this HUGE blue planet to my left, and the sun and the moon were both in the sky at the same time directly in front of me. I was looking out my back door at the time and I looked straight ahead, and saw the sun in the background and the moon was in the sky also, and were in the Southeastern sky, and I didn't see the planet right away, but I turned to my left, which would be facing the Northeastern sky, and this blue planet covered the entire view of my left side, and this was only half of the planet. The other half was below the horizon, because it was too big for me to see all of it.  I recently read about a HUGE blue "planet-like" object which they just discovered coming from out of nowhere. When I dreamed this..I knew the planet was blue, so it couldn't have been Niburu, so I will keep a close watch on this. The article about it is here http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2013/11jul_cobaltblue/

Hubble Finds a Cobalt Blue Planet

July 11, 2013:  Astronomers working with NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have deduced the actual color of a planet orbiting another star 63 light-years away.

The planet is HD 189733b, one of the closest exoplanets that can be seen crossing the face of its star, and its color is cobalt blue. If seen directly, this planet would look like a deep blue dot, reminiscent of Earth's color as seen from space.

Hubble's Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph measured changes in the color of light from the planet before, during and after a pass behind its star. There was a small drop in light and a slight change in the color of the light. "We saw the light becoming less bright in the blue but not in the green or red. Light was missing in the blue but not in the red when it was hidden," said research team member Frederic Pont of the University of Exeter in South West England. "This means that the object that disappeared was blue."

Earlier observations have reported evidence for scattering of blue light on the planet. The latest Hubble observation confirms the evidence.

Although the planet resembles Earth in terms of color, it is not an Earth-like world.

On this turbulent alien world, the daytime temperature is nearly 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit, and it possibly rains glass -- sideways -- in howling, 4,500-mph winds. The cobalt blue color comes not from the reflection of a tropical ocean as it does on Earth, but rather a hazy, blow-torched atmosphere containing high clouds laced with silicate particles. Silicates condensing in the heat could form very small drops of glass that scatter blue light more than red light.

This plot compares the colors of planets in our solar system to exoplanet HD 189733b. The exoplanet's deep blue color is produced by silicate droplets, which scatter blue light in its atmosphere. Image Credit: NASA, ESA, and A. Feild (STScI)

Hubble and other observatories have made intensive studies of HD 189733b and found its atmosphere to be changeable and exotic.

HD 189733b is among a bizarre class of planets called hot Jupiters, which orbit precariously close to their parent stars.

HD 189733b was discovered in 2005. It is only 2.9 million miles from its parent star, so close that it is gravitationally locked. One side always faces the star and the other side is always dark.

In 2007, NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope measured the infrared light, or heat, from the planet, leading to one of the first temperature maps for an exoplanet. The map shows day side and night side temperatures on HD 189733b differ by about 500 degrees Fahrenheit. This should cause fierce winds to roar from the day side to the night side.

Fall in love with Jesus and forget about religion

There is no way to do it without Him..."it's gotta be more like falling in love, then something to believe in..." We are always going to mess up...religion is not the answer, it just makes you feel more worthless. Turn to Jesus and He will give you the happiness you desire. ♥ http://youtu.be/GXHxpLvv2y8

Jason Gray - More Like Falling in Love

More Like Falling in Love Artist: Jason Gray Album: Everything Sad is Coming Untrue

Don't be prideful and try to do it without Jesus, anyone can change who they are!

I love the lyric.."I have walked for miles and miles in that same pair of shoes.." It's about when people try to prove something, and they will never listen to the advice of someone who has been there. They refuse forgiveness, but Jesus will forgive you for any sin! You can change who you are...much love ♥ — listening to Unspoken.

 

We need our Father's Grace and Love

We need our Father to remind us who we are..we are His beloved! His love is enough for all of us! He forgives us and Blesses us with His Grace! What a wonderful Father! ♥

Say No to Yoga

So they tell you that yoga is a harmless way to stretch your muscles and relax. However, if you are a Christian, yoga is not harmless, in fact, it is harmful for a Christian to practice yoga, in fact it is blasphemy. Eastern mysticism is where yoga came from and it means to yoke together, so the people who believe in all of those millions of gods, can have a place to come together. They all have spiritual gods, but they are not GOD The Creator. God the Creator said that we should not bow down to any other gods, or yoke ourselves with unbelievers. Which means to join together unequally. When you see two oxen, they are about equal, but if you were to yoke together a lamb with an oxen, it would be unequal and wouldn't work. When we do yoga we open up spiritual doors which allows any spirit to enter. God doesn't want us to close our minds and empty them, He wants us to turn to Him and think about Him and have a relationship. Not be weighed down with the yoke of yoga. Jesus came to die for all of us so that we wouldn't have to practice yoga. We can just pray to Him.

Exodus 20:3-5

King James Version (KJV)

³ Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
⁴ Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
⁵ Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

blas·phe·my

noun \ˈblas-fə-mē\

pluralblas·phe·mies

Definition of BLASPHEMY

1 a: the act of insulting or showing contempt or lack of reverence for God

b: the act of claiming the attributes of deity 2: irreverence toward something considered sacred or inviolable

 

2 Corinthians 6:14

King James Version (KJV)

¹⁴ Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

yo·ga

noun \ˈyō-gə\

Definition of YOGA

1 capitalized: a Hindu theistic philosophy teaching the suppression of all activity of body, mind, and will in order that the self may realize its distinction from them and attain liberation

2 : a system of exercises for attaining bodily or mental control and well-being

 

When people say to open your mind to yoga, they are wrong, because yoga teaches you to close your mind and supress your thoughts. It also goes against God when God tells us to not practice mysticism.

Don't be fooled by Hatha yoga, which is what they call it in the Western culture, it is the same spiritual yoking as the rest.

Jesus said

Matthew 11:30

King James Version (KJV)

³⁰ For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

2 Corinthians 6:14

King James Version (KJV)

¹⁴ Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

 

So to practice yoga is to join together and acquire a mystic burden which Jesus already lifted! So if you want a clear mind, and peace, turn to Jesus and He will give you that peace that you are trying to attain.

 

Your body is your temple and you need to connect it to God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit, not some evil practice which is cleverly disguised as "exercise" to the people who do not do their homework. That's what I am here to expose the New Age repackaging of an old practice of mysticism or demon possession and demon worshipping. When we do those yoga poses we are saying that we are opened up and ready for any spiritual entity that would like to enter to come on in!  You cannot contain the Holy Spirit and any other spirits, you do not have the Holy Spirit in you if you are doing yoga. When you continue doing yoga, you will advance to Kundalini yoga. Kundalini yoga is extremely dangerous as you do a series of repetitive exercises which are designed to "awaken the fire of energy" and heat which is at the base of your spine. They do extreme poses which represent zombies, to me, and start to yell and vibrate and they say that they feel itching, burning, trembling, crazy yelling sounds, grunts, flipping and slithering on the floor like a snake. Barking, screaming, laughing insanely, etc. It is not what I would say is anything remotely like a true Christian worship! Or anything that I would say is not insane! That activity shows insanity. So I would conclude that yoga causes you to open up your mind to anything, and it gets in, and controls your actions. That would be a demonic possession in my definition, but here is the definition:

 

Demonic possession is held by many belief systems to be the control of an individual by a malevolent preternatural being. Descriptions of demonic possessions often include erased memories or personalities, convulsions, “fits” and fainting as if one were dying.^[1] Other descriptions include access to hidden knowledge (gnosis) and foreign languages (glossolalia), drastic changes in vocal intonation and facial structure, the sudden appearance of injuries (scratches, bite marks) or lesions, and superhuman strength. Unlike in channeling, the subject has no control over the possessing entity and so it will persist until forced to leave the victim, usually through a form of exorcism.

 

 Kundalini yoga explores the dark side of energy and has nothing to do with our wonderful IAM.

In conclusion, I say that yoga is not for Christians, it will eventually lead you to unleashing the serpent coiled around your spine and it's energy forces will drive you crazy! It seems as if there was a serpent in the Garden of Eden who taught Eve how to unleash the knowledge of good and evil, and this serpent is unleashing the same thing...repackaged as..."enlightenment"

Cayenne pepper Rocks!

I just can't say enough about how great cayenne pepper is for our health! When I broke my ribs, I used to drink a cayenne pepper drink, and it provided so much relief for me! Here is an article which lists the 17 health benefits to cayenne pepper: http://www.globalhealingcenter.com/natural-health/benefits-of-cayenne-pepper/

1. Anti-Irritant Properties

Cayenne has the ability to ease upset stomach, ulcers, sore throats, spasmodic and irritating coughs, and diarrhea.

2. Anti-Cold and Flu Agent

Cayenne pepper aids in breaking up and moving congested mucus. Once mucus begins to leave the body, relief from flu symptoms generally follows.

3. Anti-Fungal Properties

The results of one study indicated that cayenne pepper could effectively prevent the formation of the fungal pathogens phomopsis and collectotrichum ^[1].

4. Migraine Headache Prevention

This may be related to the pepper’s ability to stimulate a pain response in a different area of the body, thus reverting the brain’s attention to the new site. Following this initial pain reaction, the nerve fibers have a depleted substance P (the nerve’s pain chemical), and the perception of pain is lessened.

5. Anti-Allergen

Cayenne is an anti-inflammatory agent and may even help relieve allergies.

6. Digestive Aid

Cayenne is a well-known digestive aid. It stimulates the digestive tract, increasing the flow of enzyme production and gastric juices. This aids the body’s ability to metabolize food (and toxins). Cayenne pepper is also helpful for relieving intestinal gas. It stimulates intestinal peristaltic motion, aiding in both assimilation and elimination.

7. Anti-Inflammatory Properties

Cayenne’s anti-inflammatory properties makes it a great herb for arthritis, diabetes, psoriasis and herpes-related nerve damage.

8. Helps Produce Saliva

Cayenne stimulates the production of saliva, an important key to excellent digestion and maintaining optimal oral health.

9. Useful for Blood Clots

Cayenne pepper also helps reduce atherosclerosis, encourages fibrinolytic activity and prevents factors that lead to the formation of blood clots, all of which can help reduce the chances of a heart attack or stroke.

10. Detox Support

Cayenne is a known circulatory stimulant. It also increases the pulse of our lymphatic and digestive rhythms. By heating the body, the natural process of detoxification is streamlined. Cayenne also causes us to sweat, another important process of detoxification. Combined with lemon juice and honey, cayenne tea is an excellent morning beverage for total body detox.

11. Joint-Pain Reliever

Extremely high in a substance called capsaicin, cayenne pepper acts to cause temporary pain on the skin, which sends chemical messengers from the skin into the joint, offering relief for joint pain.

12. Anti-Bacterial Properties

Cayenne is an excellent preservative and has been used traditionally to prevent food contamination from bacteria.

13. Possible Anti-Cancer Agent

Studies done at the Loma Linda University in California found that cayenne pepper may help prevent lung cancer in smokers ^[2]. This may be again related to cayenne’s high quantity of capsaicin, a substance that might help stop the formation of tobacco-induced lung tumors. Other studies have also shown a similar reaction in cayenne’s ability to inhibit liver tumors.

14. Supports Weight Loss

Scientists at the Laval University in Quebec found that participants who took cayenne pepper for breakfast were found to have less appetite, leading to less caloric intake throughout the day. Cayenne is also a great metabolic-booster, aiding the body in burning excess amounts of fats.

15. Improves Heart-Health

Cayenne helps to keep blood pressure levels normalized. It also rids the body of LDL cholesterol and triglycerides.

16. Remedy for Toothache

Cayenne is an excellent agent against tooth and gum diseases.

17. Topical Remedy

As a poultice, cayenne has been used to treat snake bites, rheumatism, inflammation, sores, wounds and lumbago.

Are you getting enough water?

I know that the answer to my question is probably no..but, that's okay because you can start now..that's what I think..:D

Isaiah 24-27

The past week or so, I have been reading Isaiah 24-27 and I just seem to be drawn to it. It is very high intensity reading about the destruction of the earth. The earth will be realing to and fro like a drunkard, then 25 is about Heaven, then God saving the TRUE believers, His Remnant, and the punishment of unrepentant, I feel that we are almost there..

Isaiah 24-27

King James Version (KJV)

24 Behold, the Lord maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.

² And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him.
³ The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the Lord hath spoken this word.
⁴ The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish.
⁵ The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.
⁶ Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.
⁷ The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all the merryhearted do sigh.
⁸ The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth.
⁹ They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink shall be bitter to them that drink it.
¹⁰ The city of confusion is broken down: every house is shut up, that no man may come in.
¹¹ There is a crying for wine in the streets; all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone.
¹² In the city is left desolation, and the gate is smitten with destruction.
¹³ When thus it shall be in the midst of the land among the people, there shall be as the shaking of an olive tree, and as the gleaning grapes when the vintage is done.
¹⁴ They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the Lord, they shall cry aloud from the sea.
¹⁵ Wherefore glorify ye the Lord in the fires, even the name of the Lord God of Israel in the isles of the sea.
¹⁶ From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs, even glory to the righteous. But I said, My leanness, my leanness, woe unto me! the treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously; yea, the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously.
¹⁷ Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth.
¹⁸ And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth do shake.
¹⁹ The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly.
²⁰ The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.
²¹ And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.
²² And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be visited.
²³ Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the Lord of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously.

25 O Lord, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.

² For thou hast made of a city an heap; of a defenced city a ruin: a palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never be built.
³ Therefore shall the strong people glorify thee, the city of the terrible nations shall fear thee.
⁴ For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.
⁵ Thou shalt bring down the noise of strangers, as the heat in a dry place; even the heat with the shadow of a cloud: the branch of the terrible ones shall be brought low.
⁶ And in this mountain shall the Lord of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined.
⁷ And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the vail that is spread over all nations.
⁸ He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord God will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the Lord hath spoken it.
⁹ And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the Lord; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.
¹⁰ For in this mountain shall the hand of the Lord rest, and Moab shall be trodden down under him, even as straw is trodden down for the dunghill.
¹¹ And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst of them, as he that swimmeth spreadeth forth his hands to swim: and he shall bring down their pride together with the spoils of their hands.
¹² And the fortress of the high fort of thy walls shall he bring down, lay low, and bring to the ground, even to the dust.

26 In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah; We have a strong city; salvation will God appoint for walls and bulwarks.

² Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in.
³ Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
⁴ Trust ye in the Lord for ever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength:
⁵ For he bringeth down them that dwell on high; the lofty city, he layeth it low; he layeth it low, even to the ground; he bringeth it even to the dust.
⁶ The foot shall tread it down, even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy.
⁷ The way of the just is uprightness: thou, most upright, dost weigh the path of the just.
⁸ Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O Lord, have we waited for thee; the desire of our soul is to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee.
⁹ With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.
¹⁰ Let favour be shewed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the Lord.
¹¹ Lord, when thy hand is lifted up, they will not see: but they shall see, and be ashamed for their envy at the people; yea, the fire of thine enemies shall devour them.
¹² Lord, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought all our works in us.
¹³ O Lord our God, other lords beside thee have had dominion over us: but by thee only will we make mention of thy name.
¹⁴ They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish.
¹⁵ Thou hast increased the nation, O Lord, thou hast increased the nation: thou art glorified: thou hadst removed it far unto all the ends of the earth.
¹⁶ Lord, in trouble have they visited thee, they poured out a prayer when thy chastening was upon them.
¹⁷ Like as a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain, and crieth out in her pangs; so have we been in thy sight, O Lord.
¹⁸ We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.
¹⁹ Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.
²⁰ Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.
²¹ For, behold, the Lord cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.

27 In that day the Lord with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.

² In that day sing ye unto her, A vineyard of red wine.
³ I the Lord do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day.
⁴ Fury is not in me: who would set the briers and thorns against me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together.
⁵ Or let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; and he shall make peace with me.
⁶ He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root: Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit.
⁷ Hath he smitten him, as he smote those that smote him? or is he slain according to the slaughter of them that are slain by him?
⁸ In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with it: he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind.
⁹ By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this is all the fruit to take away his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, the groves and images shall not stand up.
¹⁰ Yet the defenced city shall be desolate, and the habitation forsaken, and left like a wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof.
¹¹ When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off: the women come, and set them on fire: for it is a people of no understanding: therefore he that made them will not have mercy on them, and he that formed them will shew them no favour.
¹² And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall beat off from the channel of the river unto the stream of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel.
¹³ And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the Lord in the holy mount at Jerusalem.
