Full Moon (Good intentions that turned into a nightmare)
The story of the Full Moon has already been posted to my website, because it truly is the beginning of my story. I used scripture to help people understand that what happened to my neighbor can happen to anyone. For instance, Make no provisions for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts” (Romans 13: 14) “First they are small harmless desires But they grow stronger and they can control us” (Romans 6; 16) IT IS EASIER TO RESIST THE FIRST EVIL DESIRE THAN TO SATISFY ALL THE ONE'S THAT FOLLOW. ( People have lost their jobs, kids aren't in school, so now molestation and domestic violence are on the rise. Please ask God to control your desires and your anger.

In Psalms139: 15,16 says, “My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in a secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.”

There are over 7000 promises in the Bible. God's promises come alive in our lives only when we claim them by faith. For every problem you may encounter. There is a verse in the Bible that will comfort you. Again the key that unlocks the door is faith.
2 Peter Chapter 3 states that God “is not willing that anyone should perish, but that all should come to repentance.”
(Ecclesiastes 7:14) says, " Enjoy prosperity whenever you can, and when hard times strike, realize that God gives one as well as the other... So everyone will realize that nothing is certain in this life." (Revelation 1:3) which says, " Blessed is the one who reads the words of this prophecy and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near."
(2 Peter 3:9-10) says, “The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare."
(Matthew 7:21-23) " Not everyone who say to me, ' Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is heaven." Many will say to me on that day, " Lord, 'Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?" Then I will tell them plainly, " I never knew you. Depart from me, you evildoers!"
(Deut. 29:19) “I will be safe, even though I persist in going my own way. This will bring disaster.”
(Isaiah 30:1) “Destruction is certain for my rebellious children,' says the Lord. 'You make plans that are contrary to my will. You weave a web of plans that are not from my Spirit, thus piling up your sins.”
(Revelation 1:3) which says, Blessed is the one who read the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near.
(Deuteronomy 4:2 NIV) says, “Do not add to what I command you and do not subtract from it but keep the commands of the Lord you God that I give you.” And (Deuteronomy 12:32 NIV) Says, “See that you do all I command you; do not add to it or take away from it.” (Proverbs 30:5-6) “Every word of God is flawless; He is a shield to those who take refuge Him. Do not add to His words, or He will rebuke you and prove you a liar.” And in (Jeremiah 26:2-3 NIV) “This is what the Lord says: Stand in the courtyard of the Lord's house and speak to all the people of the towns of Judah who come to worship in the house of the Lord. Tell them everything I command you; do not omit a word. Perhaps they will listen, and each will turn from his evil way. Then, I will relent and not bring on them the disaster I was planning because of the evil they have done.” (2 Corinthians 11:13-15 NIV) says, “For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, masquerading as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.”
(Revelation 22:18-19). It states, “I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book; if anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book. And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.”
(Romans 16:17-19 NIV) which says, “I urge you brothers to watch out for those who cause divisions and puts obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them. For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery, they deceive the minds of naive people. Everyone has heard about your obedience, so I am full of joy over you; but I want you to be wise about what is good, and innocent of what is evil.”
(Matthew16:4) “ A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign shall be given to them, except the sign of the prophet Jonah.”
(John 3:19-21 NIV), “This is the verdict; Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of the light, because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.
(Romans 1: 18-20 NIV). “The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities- his eternal power and divine nature- have been clearly understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.”
“It is powerful because the wrath of God is being revealed to us through visions seen by the Apostle John, 'who testifies to everything he saw- that is the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ.'”(Revelation 1:2)
My First of many studies in the book of Revelation
After that, she told me to turn to chapter 4. She read the whole chapter and I followed along. After she finished reading, she said, “The Sea of glass, in verse 6, probably represents God's holiness, which “sets Him apart even from those who dwell in Heaven.”
Then she said, “It would also have the effect of reflecting the brilliant, gem-like light around the father and magnifying the awesome blaze,” which is told in verse 3.
After that we read chapter 6. Then she stated, “The first time I read chapter 6, it made me sad because 'the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and every slave and every free man hid in caves. Instead of repenting, they called to the mountains and the rocks to fall upon them, so that they would be hidden from He who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb.”
Then, in verse 7, the fourth seal gives power to the rider of the pale horse over 'one fourth of the earth to kill sword, famine, and plague, and by the wild beast of the earth.'
After that I said, “You would think that after the 6th seal, they would have gotten on their knees and repented, especially after 'the sun turned black like sackcloth, the moon blood red, and the stars fell from the sky.'
“The imagery of the four horsemen in 6:2-8 comes from Zechariah 1:8-17, 6:1-8. An in the Old Testament, horses were rarely used for peaceful purposes; they suggested war to the Jewish mind.”
“Before the seventh seal was opened, the angels of the four corners of the earth were instructed in a loud voice in chapter 7 verse 3 'Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God.'” Then she looked at me and said, “The 144,000 were from the tribes of Israel, and they were selected by God to warn people of the seven bowls of God's wrath that was yet to come, and that they could escape His wrath by the repenting of their sins.”
“Why did God instruct His angels to use trumpets in Chapter 8 verse 6?” Ezekiel 33:2-6, which states, “Son of man, speak to your countrymen and say to them: 'When I bring the sword against a land, and the people of the land choose one of their men and make him their watchman, and he sees the sword coming against the land and blows the trumpet to warn the people, then if anyone hears the trumpet but does not take warning and the sword comes and takes his life, his blood will be on his own head. Since he heard the sound of the trumpet, but did not take warning, his blood will be on his own head. If he had taken warning, he would have saved himself. But if the watchman sees the sword coming, and does not blow the trumpet to warn the people, and the sword comes and takes the life of one of them, that man will be taken away because of his sin, but I will hold the watchman accountable for his blood.'
