I wanted to write some useful information that I have learned over the summer 2011. This information comes from experience and all-knowing wisdom given to me through God.
MIRRORS
Your eyes are the windows to your soul, Jesus speaks about this in the New Testament. That if you look into someones eyes you can see the light of who they are or the darkness that has consumed them. I don't need to give a biblical reference to this, seek the information in the New testament, because it is there. Look in the four gospels and you will find the quote.
So if the eyes are the windows to your soul, can they be used as portals through mirrors for demons/evil spirits to come through when you look at your eyes in the mirror. Have you ever got the eerie feeling when you looked in the mirror at yourself, and felt like someone was watching you or that wasn't you looking at yourself but someone else looking at you. Quite eerie if you ask me.
Remember the story of Bloody Mary, it is a myth legend I have been told. Well, if you say Bloody Mary three times while looking at yourself in the mirror then Mary comes to life. Where do you think this story was originated? If she can come alive through the mirror then it would be considered a portal.
In the old Hebrew tradition when someone dies they cover the mirrors for a year of mourning. In Celtic tradition they also cover the mirrors, the English sometimes did this as well. Do you believe there is a reason they covered the mirrors?
I believe mirrors can be used as a portal for entry into the room.
If the mirror connection is not closed then the demonic force can use this mirror to their advantage. I am telling you, to bless all of your mirrors for this reason to close any portals that could be open. I believe demons can use this to jump from one location to another also.
CROSSES
Christians use a cross for decoration and for affirmation to society that they are a Christian. The secular world wears crosses for the pure pleasure of the symbol. The cross itself signifies the cross that Jesus died on for us. He shed his blood on the wooden cross he was nailed to, too save us from living in the darkness of eternity, so we will dwell within the light of his presence and love.
The cross is one of the most significant symbols in the world. Well, the cross can be used as a protective medallion against evil forces or negative forces you encounter. Through your faith in wearing the cross it can become more than just an accessorie but a protective shield for you.
Priest use crosses and rosaries when they pray. When a pastor blesses you, normally there is a cross present. The significance of the cross has been lost. There are also different shapes of the cross that are more identifiable to the negative forces and more useful.
This style of cross seem to be the most useful cross symbol I found. I drew this cross on a piece of paper and posted it backward on the mirror for protection. I haven't found the significance of the different crosses designs and what they project to the enemy, but it did ease my mind that we were able to find such a strong symbol that repels negative energy.
ANOINTING OIL
Anointing oil is another very important item to always have at your disposal. Oil is used to bless your children, bless your house, bless and object, bless a vehicle, ect. Anointing Oil was used by the Levitical priest to consecrate a person or thing in the old Testament.
I have heard Holy Water works too, but I have never used Holy Water, because I am not Catholic. I know the Catholic church keeps Holy Water available to the public and they use Holy Water to Baptize a baby. I haven't done much research for this element of the Catholic rituals. However, I have never read in the Bible about Holy Water or where the Catholics come up with Holy Water. I must do some research on this.
PRAYER BOOKS
Sometimes we just do not know how to pray or even what to say. I would suggest that everyone should obtain a Prayer Book or 3 or 4 of them. Prayer books are usually set up based upon subject. They are scripture based with the scripture intertwined within the prayer. This is also a way, to memorize or meditate on scripture through the day.
Prayer is the most powerful tool you have. When you pray your faith is empowered with the ability to bring healing, prosperity, strength, hopefulness, and love when your prayer is focused on God. With God all things are possible, the three greatest things you can possess are faith, peace and love.
Prayer brings fulfillment into your life and can alter the outcome of any situation, because you putting your trust in the Lord. You have to trust He will fulfill the promises He has given, You must trust that His words transcend all generations. You must trust that He loves you and adores you beyond compare and that through your faith in Him everything works for His glory and Honor not yours.
BIBLE
Your Bible is God-breathed words that He gave to mankind, you must search, seek, ask, and you shall find the mystery of Him. I cannot emphasize enough how much biblical reading is, because it is the foundation of what you believe and why you believe it. It is the concrete evidence of God our Creator. This manual is not just a history book, but it is a lifetime manual that gives you the answers to your questions and the tools to succeed in this life so you endure till the end.
The Bible teaches that life is TEST, TRIAL, AND TEMPORARY. If you learn anything within those pages these would be the most valuable lessons.
DEVOTIONAL BOOKS
Devotional books are useful because our lives are so busy, that sometimes we just need a pick-me-up that is uplifting and encouraging. Devotionals can be rewarding because they are one page reads that emphasize a specific topic or subject for that day for you to meditate on. I would suggest reading a Devotional Book with your Bible and Prayer books, utilizing them in conjunction with one another.
I am going to switch topics to another area of interest.
THE WITCHING HOUR
I am calling it the witching hour because people will know what I am speaking of. In the Jewish laws the day was divided into 6 a.m. - 6 p.m at Day and the Nighttime had Four watches. 6 p.m- 9 p.m.; 9 p.m.- midnight; midnight to 3 a.m and 3 a.m. - 6 a.m.
The first watch is normally when the sun goes down and people are done working for the day. Normally activity is still prevalent.
The second watch people that are night owls are beginning to stir, whereas the nightclubs are becoming crowded.
The third watch is when the nightly activity begins and statistically proven more crimes occurs during the third watch. Jesus also prayed during this watch prior to being arrested by the soldiers. This is also the most active part of the evening for the spiritual world. Many people wake suddenly between 2-3 a.m. with no reason. Also, the majority of deaths occur in nursing facilities withing this watch.The activity in the third watch seems to be very active.
The fourth watch is when priest normally pray by tradition they believe God roams the earth during the fourth watch and he hears their prayers during this watch. People are beginning to awake from their nights sleep.
This is just factual information that can be checked out. I am not going to reference my information, because there is no need. I just want you to be aware of the third watch and the activity that transpires withing this watch.
I hope this information is helpful. These are common objects that a priest, or Christian believer has within their grasp at all times. You may percieve this as ritualistic and that may be true, but very common in the possession of clergymen.
