How Satan's Human Accomplices Are Draining The Life Out Of Americans

        The Bible warns us that we should not be ignorant of Satan's devices, lest he should get an advantage over us (see 2 Corinthians 2:11).  In that light, and in the light of all that Satan is doing to destroy our beloved country, working through his human accomplices in government, the medical system, the banking system, the media, and so on, it is time we expose a major demonic device that us increasingly afflicting many people today -- vampirism.

One does not have to look very far to see that vampires and vampirism have become popular phenomena in modern society.  In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the number of television and internet movies plus major motion pictures that use vampires as their main theme in one form or another.  Perhaps one way to accurately describe this is "art imitating death." As a result of this, police departments and other law enforcement agencies are reporting a substantial rise in vampire cult activities.

Now is a crucial time to shine The revealing Light of Jesus Christ on Satan's wicked device of "vampirism" helping others realize the actual reality, the true nature, of this very destructive and seductive spiritual weapon in Satan's arsenal.  This is such a critical time for this Truth, while the popular portrayal of vampirism, the folklore, and the superstitions regarding it, are all part of Satan's deceptive scheme, his effective means by which he distracts people away from what "vampirism" truly is...  one of his most divisive, yet subtle, tools against humanity. 

The idea that a vampire is some colorful little character with fangs and a cape is as wrong as thinking that the devil runs around in a red suit carrying a pitchfork.  Make no mistake, vampirism is real and has infiltrated the United States government, medical system, media, treasury department, and more, using the physical bodies of Satan's human accomplices, for the sole purpose of "stealing, killing, and destroying" the lives of everyone that it possible can. 

So what is a vampire? Webster's dictionary defines a vampire as "an unscrupulous person who preys ruthlessly on others, as a blackmailer or usurer." Webster's also defines vampirism as "the act or practice of preying ruthlessly on other people." The LORD Jesus Christ defines it this way, "The thief comes not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy:... (John 10:10)." Therefore, according to The LORD, a vampire is surely, and simply, one kind of thief. 

Quite important to note is the context of The LORD's remarks.  In the second part of the verse He clearly contrasts the works of the thief, including the vampire, with His Own works, saying, "...I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly (John 10:10)."  Jesus Christ brings Life that is abundant for those who want Him, who pursue and love Him.  Vampires, on the other hand, come to destroy the Abundant Life by stealing time and energy and, no matter how much they take, they are never satisfied.  We're seeing this unfold in America today.

A vampire is a human parasite, a human leech often-times influenced by a demonic accomplice.  They are focused solely on themselves to the point of depleting or draining the resources and life out of others to achieve or satisfy their own selfish objectives or cravings.  Another way of describing this is out-of-control selfishness.  A person who has succumbed to the spirit of vampirism would simply be one who is leading a misguided life of tearing down or using others in an attempt to exalt themselves.  We are dealing with wicked spirits seeking to fulfill the devil's mission, to steal, kill, and destroy the person who gives them place in their life.  And these same spirits attempt to use their victim to destroy anyone who becomes involved with that person.

While vampirism can involve both human and demonic activity, this is not always the case.  Unclean spirits must look for humans to influence, because that is how Satan's work of killing, stealing, and destroying is accomplished in the earth.  That is why the battle for the human soul is so brutal at times.  In order for a wicked spirit to gain legal access to the physical realm, it must first find and, through temptation, gain entrance into a willing host body in order to do Satan's bidding in the physical realm.

Observe the vast difference between a person who has been overtaken by a spirit of vampirism and someone who genuinely hungers for God.  People who truly hunger for God and have committed their lives to the process of daily being made One i-n Jesus Christ eventually enter the place where they "want" to die to their own selfish wants and desires in order to become an asset to those around them.  That is, they give away Life, the Life of Jesus Christ that is being newly-constructed in them by the working of The Holy Spirit.  Someone who is operating as a vampire, however, is always on the take, drawing the life out of those around them.

However contrary it is to natural thinking, the one who gives away Life grows, while the one who steals, kills, and destroys shrinks.  The lie about vampirism is that the vampire gets stronger by consuming the life of others, but, in truth, they are destroying themselves. 

"There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty.  The liberal {generous} soul shall be made fat {deep, large, rich}: and he that waters shall be watered also himself (Proverb 11:24-25)."

We pray that your passion is to always become an asset, a giver of the Life of Jesus Christ, to everyone you come in contact with.  The Apostle Paul said, "I have showed you all things, how that so labouring you ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of The LORD Jesus Christ, how he said, It is more blessed to GIVE than to receive (Acts 20:35)."  So, if we stand in front of "the mirror of this message" and do NOT see our reflection in it, we'll recognize that we have truly been blinded to the Truth concerning this matter.  On the other hand, if we stand in front of "the mirror of this message" and we DO see our reflection, then we are well on our way to becoming Life-giving assets to those in the body of Jesus Christ and to Americans as a whole.

Right now, in the Name of Jesus Christ, call on The Holy Spirit and ask Him to meet with you in the pages of God's Holy written Word.  Begin reading slowly, pause periodically and listen.  Slowly read a bit more, pause, and listen.  Repeat this until you hear the sweetest sound of all, the wonder-full Voice of The Holy Spirit...  uploading to your spirit the things that God gives to Jesus Christ to relay to The Holy Spirit to give to you, personally.  Isaiah 40:31 tells us, "But they that wait upon The LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."

God makes us a great promise in His written Word, "If my people, which are called by My Name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land (2 Chronicles 7:14)."

If you have not yet invited Jesus Christ into your heart to be your Lord and Savior, now is the time!  Or, if you gave your heart to Jesus Christ at some time in the past, but have strayed away from Him, pray the following prayer, right now, right where you are.  Then, relax, and watch what God will do in your life.  "Father God, in the precious Name of Jesus Christ Who is The King over all kings and The LORD that is over all lords, I lay my life at Your Feet.  I come to You, and confess that I am a sinner, and I ask for You to please forgive me of all my sins--those that I know I have committed as well as those that I am not even aware I have committed.  Lord Jesus Christ, come into my heart and be my Lord and my Savior.  I lay my life, and everything in it before You and I ask that You and The wonder-full Holy Spirit begin the miraculous process of removing my old sinful nature and building Yourself in me.  I ask that You redeem the time that have wasted, and allow me the opportunity to become exactly what You had predestined me to be, from before the foundation of the earth.  I commit my life to You now, and thank You for receiving me as Your own.  In The wonder-full Name of Jesus Christ I pray, Amen."

WELCOME HOME!

If you just prayed this prayer, we want to congratulate you for making the greatest decision that you can ever make!  By accepting Jesus Christ, or rededicating your life to Him, as your personal Lord and Savior, you have begun the wonder-full process of being made One i-n God, Jesus Christ, and The Holy Spirit, and being grafted into God's Royal Family.

We would like to invite you to contact us so that we can send you information that will help you begin growing in your daily walk with The Holy Trinity.  We would encourage you to begin attending a Holy-Spirit-filled, Bible-believing church right away.  If you do not know of a good church in your area, first and foremost ask The Holy Spirit, in Jesus Christ's Name, to lead you to people who do know.  Some of the most wonderful times in our lives have occurred after asking The Holy Spirit to lead us to, or educate us, on how to locate good strong believers in Jesus Christ.  If you ask Him, He will do the same for you as well.

We advise you to begin reading your Bible daily, whether you understand it or not.  Always remember, God's written Word, The Holy Bible is like no other book that has ever been written!  Why? Because, though many use it as a text book, The Holy Bible is much more than that.  The Holy Bible has been preserved by God through the ages to be "a place of meeting" with The Holy Spirit.  When we find a quiet place, open our Bible, and ask The Holy Spirit, in Jesus Christ's Name, to meet with us in its pages, He comes and teaches us what God had in His heart when He gave each verse to His prophets to write down, as well as he can spring board off of any passage to speak to us, in real time, whatever God wants us to know or be comforted by at any given time, and in any situation in our lives. 

Early in our walk with God, Jesus Christ, and The Holy Spirit, there are Bible teachers on television, on the internet, and on the radio that can help us begin to receive teaching and encouragement in the things of God right away.  Although informative, these programs are never to be a substitute for close relationships with people, Christian friends, who love, pursue, and walk with God, Jesus Christ, and The Holy Spirit as a passionate lifestyle.

At times, your new journey of being made One i-n Jesus Christ will be difficult, you will be tempted to go back to your old way of living.  It is during times like those that knowing people who truly love Jesus Christ is crucially important.  There really IS strength in numbers! 

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places (Ephesians 6:12)."

"For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare [are] not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds)  Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled (2 Corinthians 10:3-6)."

We pray that all we have shared above will help you better realize what we are seeing happen to our beloved fellow-Americans right now, and why.  Always remember, "Though God has won the war for us already, there will be various skirmishes we will have to fight through along the way.  Be encouraged...  the BEST is yet to come!"

HEADS UP ... Be Justified or Condemned

          Concerning "each word" that we allow our mouths to speak, Jesus warns us, "But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by your words thou shalt be justified, and by your words thou shalt be condemned (Matthew 12:37)."

Proverb 18:20-21, "A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled. Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof."

In these emotionally-charged times, "verbal judgments" are increasingly hurled, like flaming arrows, between people with differing viewpoints.  We must constantly remind ourselves of the dangers of speaking before we think, constantly be intentional about taking our thoughts captive.  The FACT is... one of Satan's most subtle yet deadly deceptions is blinding people to the reality that we WILL be judged by the same degree with which we judge others.

Galatians 5:23 encourages, "Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law."

Jesus Christ, Himself, said, "Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, you shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam [is] in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye (Matthew 7:1-5)."

Proverb 25:28, "He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls."

1 Peter 4:7, "But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer."

1 Peter 5:8-9, "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:  Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world."

Bottom line?  We MUST stop and think BEFORE we speak, remembering continuously what so often forgotten, the Truth that God will judge our every word... Every word "that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by your words thou shalt be justified, and by your words thou shalt be condemned (Matthew 12:37)."


We are grateful for the wonderfully fruitful opportunities The Person of The Holy Spirit is blessing us with, to glorify the Great Name of our Father and Lord Jesus Christ.  These are opportunities we simply could not take advantage of if not for the passion and support of our Toward The Mark partners to magnify Jesus Christ and send us into this final hour's harvest!  On behalf of the two of us, and those we are reaching, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for taking part in our work here, our friendship, and all our family of faith has been doing to encourage and reach this end time's generation with The Gospel of Jesus Christ... and with The Gospel Jesus Christ preached!

It's Not About Holding The Line... It's About Advancing It!

In times like we're in now, we must remember how "practice" does not make "perfect" but, only, "perfect practice" makes "perfect".  I (Keith) often look back on the time when I was privileged to play college football, remembering all that went in to being prepared to play in just one 1-hour game on the weekend.  I remember practicing for four grueling hours a day, five consecutive days a week, plus daily studying the playbook and watching game film in the classroom at night, preparing for that one 1-hour game on the weekend.  I often see the comparison of that to our being prepared to work with The Trinity to gather this end-times harvest of souls.  The perfect practice we must do is in prayer and meeting with The Holy Spirit in the pages of our play book, God's Holy written Word, every single day.

We have a question for you. If you were asked to draw a parallel between the intense, fatigue-inducing opposition, and the oppression we are fighting against in the spirit realm now, and something you have had to fight through in the natural realm to achieve a landmark victory in your life, what would that be?

For me (Keith), it would be the dreaded two-man practice sled in football. The two-man sled is an extremely valuable piece of resistance training equipment used for building the strength and endurance of football players. It is a brutal piece of training gear by which no player can make a team's roster without mastering, first.

The two-man sled is usually constructed of iron and weighs about five hundred pounds. Add to that the weight of one 250-300 pound line-coach standing on it.  And what you have is around 800 pounds of dead weight, weight that two players wearing 40 pounds of equipment are required by their coaches to hit and push with all their might until that line-coach blows his whistle to end the drill. Unlike any other strength and endurance training equipment available, there is none more physically, mentally, and brutally draining as the two-man sled.

I have actually seen coaches award players a position on their teams, not because they were tremendously talented but, because a coach saw a passion in them to put their whole heart into whatever he called on them to do. In short, the two-man sled was a great place to start when it comes to determining whether or not a player truly wants to play the game.

Much like the intensity of the two-man sled in the natural realm, we have been pushing against intense opposition in the spirit realm for many years now, due to the increasing moral decline of those in government and in our churches. And like you, we sure would like to hear God's Great Trumpet blast about now. However, until God chooses to blow His Trumpet, we will continuously "press" toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God i-n Christ Jesus, as individuals and as a ministry team for the sake of others who do not know Christ.

Personally, as I war in the spirit realm against wicked forces that sometimes feel like they are going to defeat me, The Holy Spirit is faithful to bring back to my mind experiences when I have fought through to victory. As young aspiring football players, we eventually learned the benefits of the brutal two-man sled. During those early pre-season training camps we were oblivious to those benefits, but would come to realize them in the weeks to come. Just the same way that we would get stronger with each hit we made against that training sled, with each hit we take in the spirit realm, we are presented with another opportunity to have built in us, by the steady Hand of the Great Physician Jesus Christ, His strength and endurance that will, in turn, better equip us for the hits to come on the spiritual field of battle.

In the beginning of our conditioning during pre-season camps, two players all-but passed out pushing the two-man sled just fifteen yards, but would soon be able to push it thirty yards without even breaking a sweat. And, by the end of the football season, those same two players would have built up enough strength and endurance to push that thing around the entire practice field with three coaches standing on it, and still have energy to spare. So, in the natural realm, resistance training is crucial in developing one's physical and mental strength, and endurance. The same way in the spiritual realm, resisting our enemy whenever he hits us, is crucial for developing Christ's strength and stamina in us. James 4:7 says, "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."

In the natural realm, I could tell how well or not-so-well our opponents had practiced based on each opponent's performance, physical endurance, grasp on the play-book, and ability to execute the plays.  I could tell if they had practiced "perfectly" or had merely practiced.  Having a passion to "practice perfectly" every day with the same intensity and dedication as we approach an actual game leads to our ability to persevere and perform at maximum efficiency.  And, as my Momma would say, "If you gave your all, did your best on each play, and lost, you still come away a winner."  So, even in times when we "lose" a game we still "win" when we persevere to the end, to the final whistle.  And, one definition we found for "persevere" is: "to continue without halting despite difficulties or setbacks". So, it would be safe to say that two common attributes of a winner is they practice perfectly and they persevere.

One outstanding example of an athlete who modeled the benefits of both "perfect practice" and "perseverance" for all of us who watched his career is Michael Jordan, NBA Hall Of Fame basketball player. I watched an interview in the '90s on a major sports channel where Michael Jordan was asked what his secret was for out-performing his opponents. His response, though simple, was profound. He replied, "I love to practice!"  He went on to say, "Since very early in my career, despite how I felt, I have approached each play during practice with the same passion and intensity that I do each play during an actual game."

Michael Jordan made the study and the practice of his sport his life's passion.  He loved what he did and it showed on the score boards. Playing basketball was not something he did, it was who he was, despite challenges and even heartbreaks he may have faced along the way in his life. He always brought his best to each practice and to each game. He pushed harder and further than most did, and he persevered to the end! In the eyes of so many fans, Michael was and still is a sports "hero", an example of the rewards of practicing perfectly and of persevering to the end.  Just as Michael Jordan's career set a lasting example of "perfect practice" and how to "persevere to the end" for all future athletes, the saints of God left their written accounts of "perfect practice" and what it looks like to "persevere to the end" for all of us to follow in The Holy Scriptures for a pattern of success in our lives. "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works (2 Timothy 3:16-17)."

Now is the point we have been looking forward to most:  pointing out true heroes who fulfill their calling of the highest order, above that of any earthly professional. Just as coaches of every sport, and owners of every business, look everywhere for aspiring people who work "with total abandon", God looks to and fro (2 Chronicles 16:9) for those who will work also "with total abandon", who will apply all of the gifts and talents He put in them to fulfill His plan and dream whole-heartedly... this is a "hero" in His eyes. God's hero's greatest fear does not come from the devil but comes by way of the mere thought of misrepresenting our Loving Father, Jesus Christ, and The Holy Spirit. This hero knows and loves The Holy Scriptures - "the play book" - and executes each passage as The Holy Spirit leads. This hero's heart is fixed on pursuing Oneness i-n God, through Jesus Christ, by the leading of The Holy Spirit.  This hero is passionate to magnify God.  This hero's passion is to see others come to our Father God, through Jesus Christ, and furthering their own mission of becoming one in Jesus Christ as well. God's heroes, no matter the hardships, sow selflessly of their life and all that is entrusted to their stewardship, working with The Holy Trinity, to persevere and to push through all resistance in order to display, in word and deed, the love, understanding, wisdom, knowledge, and compassion that Jesus Christ has so lovingly and generously built into each of us by way of His wonder-full Holy Spirit. This hero is a faithful member of The Body of Jesus Christ, equipped by his or her love for God and a passion to know His Holy Word to persevere i-n Jesus Christ through all manner of resistance, to the very end when His great Trumpet sounds!

"As we in The Army of Jesus Christ find ourselves in this final push just before the great trumpet sounds, we must take our thoughts captive, practice self-control, ask The Holy Spirit to meet with us in the pages of God's Holy Word, hydrate by the Living Water of His Word, which is The Scriptures interpreted to us by The Holy Spirit, and FOCUS on what He leads us to be honored to fulfill in our own calling as we encourage others in theirs.  Remember who we are, and remember Whose we are!  Though our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ has won "the war" for us already, we have isolated skirmishes left to overcome before He, The Great Conquering King, returns in ALL of His Glory, with The Mighty Host of Heaven at His Side.  Now it's time for all of us to put our ALL in the fight to finish our job, to work with pure Focus, Fearlessness, Love, Discipline, and every single thing we've got in us that God has given to... press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus!   Now Go!!

"Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you. Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing. Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample. For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto His glorious body, according to the working whereby He is able even to subdue all things unto Himself (Philippians 3:13-21).

  From the bottom of our hearts we thank you for loving us, teaming with us, and being ALL IN on this final harvest of the souls for the Kingdom of God.  By our praying for one another and being intentional to sow our individual life experiences, talents, time, and seed into our reaching toward the goals God has given, we will benefit, together, in the fruit and inheritance of our Father's Kingdom, in these final hours.
