Ever since moving to Hot Springs, Arkansas I’ve had a string of weird things happen to me. I had a guy who never met me before in a place I was applying at to work (and I was nice and respectful) ask me where I was from. Then said “let me give you a suggestion, head on the highway head south and get the hell out of town!”
I had another weird experience; where I threw away trash in a “private dumpster!” ” that is in the world! I have Ephesians 6 armor too! (Ephesians 6:10-18) And no weapon formed against me shall prosper! (Isaiah 54:17)
The latest experience was on Friday evening. This lady I had never seen before was sitting on an air-conditioning thing across the street from where I stay, she said something weird like she was looking to get into a place before 7:00 pm. I asked her if she was homeless, if she didn’t have a place? She asked “why?” she kept talking and saying weird things, I was a distance from her, she called me over. I walked over. Then she didn’t flat out say it, but she indicated that she was prostituting, she said she is “good at everything.” She smiled about it. I politely told her “no thank you” “I don’t believe in sex outside of marriage.” I walked away.
I had seen prostitutes walking the streets before, but I never had one trying to pick me up. the looks of this lady you would never guess she was one either. If she really needed a place I might have considered helping her out with money, if I had it, but definitely no services! I wasn’t really disgusted, I was saddened. There was no temptation at all there, some men there would be. I just love my future wife too much to do such a thing! You can love your future spouse even before meeting them! This is why I made a commitment to stay a virgin until marriage at a young age! I also just love myself and God too much. Paul said we are temples of the holy spirit! (1 Corinthians 6:19 “Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;”) A lot really don’t grasp the implications of that! God’s holiness/perfection exists within us! We’re not perfect, but God is perfecting us. His power, His word, His promises, His holiness, exist right in us! We can do what He can do and have what He promised us and do what His word said we can do. I almost sound like Joel Osteen here! But, God is really beginning to show me this. He wants us to respect our bodies. Not sin in them. No sin! Because He has called us to holiness and perfection. I often wonder why it’s hard for some Christians to grasp Christians having and being influenced by demons? Are we perfect yet or 100% clean or whole yet? no. But, His spirit dwells in us, but we’re not 100% clean yet? think about it! By the way we’re a three part being (1 Thessalonians 5:23 “May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.”). God owns our spirit, but our mortal bodies are in this world! Our mind is too! Our mind is a process! (Romans 12:2 “Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.”)
I also know this young lady (no names mentioned in respect) about one to two years younger then I am in this town, she goes to all the places in town that help you out, (feeding, clothes, etc), she admitted to me recently running into her walking down the street that she has been homeless in Hot Springs going on two years in October! She said she grew up here and really knows no where else. I’ve over heard her discuss her sex addiction. Though she doesn’t call it an addiction, I do from what I heard out of her mouth! On many occasions. I’m sure if I was like most men again it wouldn’t be hard! For whatever reason I feel empathy towards her, I’ve ran into her several times. In some ways we can relate in our family circumstances. I’ve been trying to be her friend. At times she ignores you when you ask her something. Or she can be really nasty! I ignore her! I feel led to help her! The Lord will show me how. Right now it’s just being her friend. A lot don’t realize who meet her, but she has a few really dark foul demonic spirits. I’ve seen them manifest somewhat, and my spiritual discernment I know what it is. Most people are no threat to the enemy and really don’t have the holy spirit, so they don’t stir up her spirits. This is the case with most Christians in the church too, they’re ignorant of anyone who really needs healing and deliverance! And are oblivious to demons and people with demons right in-front of them! Demons are as common today as they were in Jesus’ day. Maybe even more common with how sinful the world is! No one really was stirring them up then either in Jesus’ day, except Jesus! They feared Him! I want the devil and demons to fear me! And no who I am and be frightened of me!
If I had sex outside of marriage, I don’t know if I could live with myself! I’ve met many married Christians who got married and told me how hard it was to tell their spouse that they didn’t wait. Sex isn’t just sex when you really truly are in-love and marry the person God wants you to marry. It is so much deeper then that! Paul describes it as a mystery. Married couples understand this mystery! Also Paul compares marriage to Christ and the church! (Ephesians 5:22-33)
I know another young lady (another person I’m trying to be friends with) in town who’s just lazy really doesn’t need as much deliverance or healing, as just doesn’t really believe in themselves (I think they listened to people too much!) and lives in a mental health group home in-town. Those places are bad news! I was in one not here in this town, though. Before the Lord started healing and delivering me of my own mental illness! They never acknowledge spiritual warfare, most of the church doesn’t either! Nor generational curses or proper healing from the holy spirit. I know about this stuff first hand, but it took years in and out of “churches” to find the truth! Most don’t even really have the holy spirit, or get filled by Him either. Most of the church from my experiences are dead and asleep and also very religious (modern day pharisees and sadducees)! Helping no one! It is quite sad! Look at what Jesus said?:
Matthew 10:8 “Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.”
Wow! Where’s the church/the body? Sometimes I too feel weak spiritually to do such things, but the holy spirit exists in me! The holy spirit in you is the power, we are God’s hands! I also wonder where the church is when there is no preaching about trials, tribulations and storms in life? Also many “Christians” who never experienced any?!?!?! What’s the deal? I think it’s just religion and “church”. Jesus warned us about persecution, trials and tribulations quite heavily in the word. Just last week on Myspace and Facerbook I put my status as “Greg is coming out of the wilderness into his promised land.” I got so much confirmation in my spirit that that was true! After I posted it! Sometimes it’s our beliefs and speaking things into existance as well, we have his holy spirit! I’ve been through 8 years of tests, trials and tribulations! I’ve been compared to Job in the bible countless times! I can’t wait until that last chapter of Job!
I know Hot Springs is where the Lord has called me! I have a destiny, purpose and plan here. God recently told me not only has He called me but He had chosen me! I have these ministry ideas that I know are directly from Him! They’re going to come to pass cause it’s His will I’m just a vessel. In order for God to use us, He must mold us and shape us and let us die to ourselves and our flesh so He can use us properly! (see recent blogs by me about God’s will) This is the whole reason behind trials, tribulations and storms! I’m one person, one vessel in a small corner of the globe. I can’t do it all! I can only do my small part of what God has called me to do! What about you?
I don’t want you all to get the wrong idea of Hot Springs, it is a great place and I can speak highly of it in many ways, but there is also spiritual warfare and a need no matter where you go including a small town like here, apparently! There’s a lot of churches, but I wonder how many are really meeting the needs of the people and really doing the Lord’s work? I want to go where the Lord is working and He will bless the works of my hands, I have found a few places like that! I don’t just want to sit in church and get entertained, I get more out of ministering on the nearby street corner! I will go to the places where some won’t go, and the places that seem to be doing the greatest work, helping the homeless, the widows, the orphans. Sadly there is a men’s shelter in Hot Springs and it is bad news! I’ve been in 17 states and a lot of churches feel the same way! God is going to spew out lukewarmness (Revelation 3:16 “So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.”)! And how many times is Jesus turned away in “church”? Too much! Look at Jesus’ Parable/words!:
Matthew 25:32-41 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
I believe by Jesus’ words here if we have the truth in us and are born-again and do nothing, we are cast out of Heaven into Hell. Some may say they were never truly saved, maybe, that is a debate I won’t discuss here (maybe another blog), but it makes sense how can someone have God’s holy spirit and love in them, then sit idly on by and ignore people in need? Or turn them away or kick them out? Out of church! I’ve even had it happen to me a few times! I’m quite shocked over the years how most Christians and churches have treated me, to tell you the truth! Very sad!
A lot don’t see it but church is often not of God, and led by His holy spirit. Some churches are dead. In fact the churches grew during Hitler’s evil reign! Look it up it’s history! The Nazis took them over and they grew. Too many American churches today gave their rights away to our “Babylonian” government by making them 501 3Cs! What happens when there is Marshall Law?
I don’t know about you but I want to always be led by God’s holy spirit and do what He says to do and be who He says to be no matter if most get it, understand it, or if I’m persecuted or not! And if you have a prophetic gift it’s even worse for you! Prophets were never liked in the bible days either! I’ve been persecuted and attacked since day one of following Christ! It’s to be expected! But, great is my reward!
Matthew 5:43-45 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.”
Matthew 5:11-12 “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Matthew 5:14-16 “You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. 15Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.”
I try to always be nice and respectful and let my light shine, especially in such a small town like here! I may run into them again! And if someone insults me or is rather rude I should turn the other cheek! Jesus wasn’t always pouplar either and He is who I represent! But, if you know me or one of these people mentioned above! I’m sorry I’m staying, if you like it or not!
If you live somewhere else and are a believer reading this, I am one person on one small corner of the globe. Jesus is the hope and the light we carry to this lost and dying world, we carry Him in our bodies! He is that close, to draw close and comfort us (the holy spirit is called the comforter), and fellowship with us and talk to us and lead us and guide us and direct us. We are His hands, His feet, His legs, we carry His message, He is the head who we follow! He leads us! He is the hope! We’re in the last days, a lot need to be brought the hope! The message! (1 Corinthians 12:12-27)
HEAVEN IN THE REAL WORLD by Steven Curtis Chapman
I saw it again today in the face of a little child Looking through the eyes of fear and uncertainty It echoed in a cry for freedom across the street and across the miles Cries from the heart to find the missing part
CHORUS Where is the hope, where is the peace? That will make this life complete For every man, woman, boy, and girl Looking for heaven in the real world
To stand in the pouring rain and believe the sun will shine again To know that the grave is not the end To feel the embrace of grace and cross the line where real life begins And know in your heart you’ve found the missing part
CHORUS There is a hope, there is a peace That will make this life complete For every man, woman, boy, and girl Looking for heaven in the real world Heaven in the real world
BRIDGE It happened one night with a tiny baby’s birth God heard creation crying and He sent heaven to earth
CHORUS He is the hope, He is the peace That will make this life complete For every man, woman, boy and girl Looking for heaven in the real world
(Chorus)
I’m not a big fan of Jesse Duplantis, however I really liked his message this week! I feel like him towards the devil! Also it is very funny like Jesse Duplantis always is! Worth watching! “Boldness-The Forgotten Ingredient” Please watch!:

I’m amazed I still have almost 90 subscribers to my blog! Because, I haven’t posted a lot of blogs lately in the last several months, every now and then, though. I’ve also in a lot of ways have been more quiet then I used to be online. Partly because I don’t have internet access at home or a computer at home right now.
I’ve also posted a few bulletins in the last several months asking for prayer. Some in desparation. Whcih could jeopardize some friendships I(not real one’s though) I guess!
The last several months have been a real struggle and challenge for me. No one said God putting you through trials, tribulations, storms and the Refiner’s Fire was easy. But, He does it to strengthen and grow us!
I just turned 28 yesterday, yesterday May 9th was my birthday. I feel a lot older then the place I’m really at in my life. I feel like I’m just beginning to start life and figure out who I really am! Those reading this who are older say I’m still young, maybe, I know others who are younger in certain areas are ahead of me.
I moved to Hot Springs, Arkansas within the last few months, even the move was challenging and hard. God literally recently told me Cincinnati, Ohio where I last lived was my Egypt. No one said your Exodus and finding your call is easy, nor life is easy! I know I’m a stronger better person now!
For the past several months that have been a real struggle and battle for me. I feel like things I want out of life and are hoping and believing and trusting God for are not happening when I want, sometimes I feel like they’re never going to happen, but I keep believing and trusting God, I guess I had to learn something first. Abraham had to wait 13 years for His promise in Isaac, so a year or two is really nothing in the overall general scheme of things! I know if God really said something it will be, though!
I look back at my life now and I can’t believe how weak I really was and how bad of shape I really was in! I guess I see it because I’ve gotten that much closer to God and that much stronger. And He hasv brought me through a lot and healed me of a lot!
My best friend other then Jesus said she knew the road hasn’t been easy for me! I’m embarassed by somethings that have happened or I’ve been through that it’s too hard to discuss! I’ve only been able to hold on sometimes because of my faith! My faith at times is all I had through the storms, trials and tribulations.
Jesus said apart from me you can do nothing. In so many ways I truly feel like that! I don’t know why at times God uses me in-person at the store, on the streets, online, etc. but He does. I really truly feel weak and a nobody without Him.
I don’t know why I’ve had faithful readers of my blog in the past and you faithful subscribers. I don’t know why some of you have cared what I had to say in certain Christian groups on Myspace. I don’t know why I’ve been a blessing, an encouragement and a light to so many! I don’t even know why some of choose to be my friends! Trust me folks I’m very weak! I’m honored anyways, but really christ gets the glory, He has really been crucifying my flesh so He can truly use me as a vessel!
All I know is I’m at a new place in my life and my walk with Christ and I have been given the blessing of a new start, a new beginning in a new place where God has called me! In some wyas I like Hot Springs, Arkansas in soem ways I don’t. All I know the doors really slammed in my face in Cincinnati and really opened here! Thanks, you folks are the real blessing, not me!
I’m looking forward to what God is about to do in the body of Christ and the church, what a blessing to just be part of it!

Forget about “New Years Resolutions.” Do you usually accomplish them?
Isaiah 64:6 All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away.
John 15:5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.”
If we hunger and thirst after righteousness and repent and turn from our wicked ways God will answer us and perform miracles and hear our prayers. Yes there is grace, God still can bestow it upon us. But, the wages of sin is death and we’re slowly dying and separating ourselves from God when we hold onto sin and our ways.
God desires to do a lot for us.
Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
If you want more of God in your life you need to get the leaven out of your life. Examine yourself and consider your actions in the past and learn the true character of your life. Examine your sins one by one and repent. And ask God to search your heart and reveal things to you and He will. We serve a good God.
Sins of Omission:
1. Ingratitude-those times when you did not thank God
2. Lack of love for God-have you given your heart to other loves above GOd?
3. Neglecting your bible reading-for weeks or months?
4. Neglect of prayer-not praying enough
5. Poor Spiritual Attitude-performing duties with a poor attitude
6. Lack of concern for unbelievers-a desire to see them saved
7. Sin of hypocrisy-is your practice of faith pleasing to God?
8. Neglect of family and private duties-hurried through duties and neglect to watch your conduct
9. Neglecting to watch over fellow believers-do you care about the state of their soul?
10. Neglect of self-unwilling to deny yourself a comfort for another.
Sins of Commission:
1. Worldly Mindedness-what is the state of your heart regarding worldly possessions?
2. Pride
3. Envy-of others
4. A critical spirit-bitterness and unforgiveness
5. Slander-speaking falsely against a brother
6. Lack of seriousness
7. Lying
8. Cheating
9. Hypocrisy
10. Robbing God
11. Bad temper
12. Hindering others from being useful
Hosea 10:12 Sow for yourselves righteousness, reap the fruit of unfailing love,
and break up your unplowed ground; for it is time to seek the LORD, until he comes and showers righteousness on you.
2 Chronicles 7:14 if my people, who are called by my name, will 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.
John 14:15 “If you love me, you will obey what I command.”
John 14:21 “Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him.”
John 14:23 Jesus replied, “If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.”
John 14:24 “He who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.”
Matthew 5:6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
Matthew 6:33 “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”
Yes I performed the checklist myself and had God search my heart.

I saw how big Myspace Prayer Chain was becoming so quickly! And I’ve seen how big it’s going to become! It’s going to open so many doors to other things like victims of abuse outreach. You name it! God’s spirit has been so strong upon me today I’ve been weaping. I’m amazed and awed to be part of something so huge reaching the world! This Myspace has so much potential and God chose to reveal it to me of all people? In less than a month we already have over 1000 friends! Incredible! God is doing something not me! I’m awed and amazed! He’s shown and revealed to me the next steps to take, a prayer chain is not the extent of it. HIS Space preaching the Gospel is one of the next steps! I’m blessed to be finding help, I can’t do it alone! I like to team my efforts up with others, others have many awesome ideas as well!

This is a question for all of my readers, plus I’ll answer it. What has been your very best memory of 2006?
Mine would have to be the day I met my best friend. And how we hit it off and got along and how they thought highly of me right off the bat, and God was the center of our friendship, always!

I wrote this blog because God keeps putting Christian women in my path who were victims. And I met someone online where we have discussed starting a website and Myspace to help hurting women. It really feels like a God thing! I’ve been praying an seeking God on it! I’m not a victim, but this is still very personal to me.
And sadly the victims, the abuse effects their everyday life more then they realize even into adulthood unless they are fully restored and healed by the power and name of Jesus! Which is possible and what God wants!
How often are children sexually abused?
* Research suggests that more than 300,000 children are sexually abused each year. (NISMART-2 http://www.unh.edu/ccrc/factsheet/pdf/CSA-FS20.pdf,
Finkelhor, D., H. Hammer, and A.J. Sedlak, Sexually assaulted children: National estimates and characteristics, in Juvenile Justice Bulletin. In press, Office of Juvenile Justice & Delinquency Prevention: Washington, D.C)
* As many as one in three girls and one in seven boys will be sexually abused at some point in their childhood, according to most reliable studies of child sexual abuse in the United States. (Briere, J., Eliot, D.M. Prevalence and Psychological Sequence of Self-Reported Childhood Physical and Sexual Abuse in General Population: Child Abuse and Neglect, 2003, 27 10).
Child sexual abuse happens in all racial, religious, age and ethnic groups, and at all socio-economic levels. Since children are abused in homes across the country, adults need to learn what makes children vulnerable, how to recognize warning signs of those who may be sexually abusing children and what to do if sexual abuse is suspected.
Who sexually abuses children?
* In as much as 90 percent of child sexual abuse cases, the child knows the person that commits the abuse. (Finkelhor, D., H. Hammer, and A.J. Sedlak, Sexually assaulted children: National estimates and characteristics, in Juvenile Justice Bulletin. In press, Office of Juvenile Justice & Delinquency Prevention: Washington, D.C. http://www.unh.edu/ccrc/factsheet/pdf/CSA-FS20.pdf.)
The people who sexually abuse can be immediate or extended family members (fathers, mothers, stepparents, grandparents, siblings, uncles, aunts, cousins, etc.). They can be neighbors, babysitters, religious leaders, teachers, coaches, or anyone else who has close contact with our children.
Can people who abuse children stop?
* Studies show that treatment for people who sexually abuse children can reduce the likelihood that they will reoffend. Statistically, people who are held accountable for sexual abuse have a lower recidivism rate than people convicted of other major offenses. Even without treatment, recidivism rates for those convicted of sexually abusing a child are estimated to be about 15-20%. With treatment, many studies show an additional reduction in recidivism by as much as a third, to as low as 12%. (Hanson, R.K., Gordon, A., Harris, A. J. R., Marques, J.K., Murphy, W., Quinsey, V.L., & Seto, M. C. (2002). First report of the Collaborative Outcome Data Project on the effectiveness of psychological treatment for sexual offenders. Sexual Abuse: A Journal of Research and Treatment, 14 (2), 169-194).
Experts agree that with successful completion of specialized treatment, people who sexually abuse children can learn how to control their actions and become part of the solution of keeping children safe.
Do children abuse other children?
* Up to 50 percent of those who sexually abuse children are under the age of 18. (Hunter, J.A., Figueredo, A., Malamuth, N.M., & Becker, J.V. (2003). Juvenile sex offenders: Toward the Development of a Typology. Sexual Abuse: A Journal of Research and Treatment, (2003) Volume 15, No. 1).
* 20 to 50% of adolescents who have sexually abused children were themselve victims of physical abuse and approximately 40 to 80% were victims of sexual abuse (Hunter, J. and Becker, J., “Motivators of Adolescent Sex Offenders and Treatment Perspectives,” in J. Shaw (Ed.), Sexual Aggression, American Psychiatric Press, Inc. (Washington, DC, 1998).
Children who abuse others often have been victimized in some way themselves. Acknowledging and addressing the distress these children have already faced is a good way to help end this abusive cycle. Experts and parents agree that with specialized treatment these children can heal and diminish the risk for experiencing or inflicting further harm.
Why should adults question inappropriate sexual behavior?
* 88% of cases of sexual abuse are never reported to the authorities (Hanson, R.F., Resnick, H.S., Saunders, B.E., Kilpatrick. D. G., and Best, C. (1999). Factors related to the reporting of childhood sexual assault. Child Abuse and Neglect, 23,559-569).
Early interventions reduce the potential for harm and assure that everyone can get the help they need to keep children safe. Since children cannot protect themselves alone, adults must learn to recognize and inquire about behaviors that make children vulnerable or suggest that abuse has occurred. Waiting for children to tell about abuse leaves them to face the confusion and trauma on their own.

Child Sexual Abuse
No. 9; Updated July 2004
Child sexual abuse has been reported up to 80,000 times a year, but the number of unreported instances is far greater, because the children are afraid to tell anyone what has happened, and the legal procedure for validating an episode is difficult. The problem should be identified, the abuse stopped, and the child should receive professional help. The long-term emotional and psychological damage of sexual abuse can be devastating to the child.
Child sexual abuse can take place within the family, by a parent, step-parent, sibling or other relative; or outside the home, for example, by a friend, neighbor, child care person, teacher, or stranger. When sexual abuse has occurred, a child can develop a variety of distressing feelings, thoughts and behaviors.
No child is psychologically prepared to cope with repeated sexual stimulation. Even a two or three year old, who cannot know the sexual activity is wrong, will develop problems resulting from the inability to cope with the overstimulation.
The child of five or older who knows and cares for the abuser becomes trapped between affection or loyalty for the person, and the sense that the sexual activities are terribly wrong. If the child tries to break away from the sexual relationship, the abuser may threaten the child with violence or loss of love. When sexual abuse occurs within the family, the child may fear the anger, jealousy or shame of other family members, or be afraid the family will break up if the secret is told.
A child who is the victim of prolonged sexual abuse usually develops low self-esteem, a feeling of worthlessness and an abnormal or distorted view of sex. The child may become withdrawn and mistrustful of adults, and can become suicidal.
Some children who have been sexually abused have difficulty relating to others except on sexual terms. Some sexually abused children become child abusers or prostitutes, or have other serious problems when they reach adulthood.
Often there are no obvious physical signs of child sexual abuse. Some signs can only be detected on physical exam by a physician.
Sexually abused children may develop the following:
* unusual interest in or avoidance of all things of a sexual nature
* sleep problems or nightmares
* depression or withdrawal from friends or family
* seductiveness
* statements that their bodies are dirty or damaged, or fear that there is something wrong with them in the genital area
* refusal to go to school
* delinquency/conduct problems
* secretiveness
* aspects of sexual molestation in drawings, games, fantasies
* unusual aggressiveness, or
* suicidal behavior
Child sexual abusers can make the child extremely fearful of telling, and only when a special effort has helped the child to feel safe, can the child talk freely. If a child says that he or she has been molested, parents should try to remain calm and reassure the child that what happened was not their fault. Parents should seek a medical examination and psychiatric consultation.
Parents can prevent or lessen the chance of sexual abuse by:
* Telling children that if someone tries to touch your body and do things that make you feel funny, say NO to that person and tell me right away
* Teaching children that respect does not mean blind obedience to adults and to authority, for example, don’t tell children to, Always do everything the teacher or baby-sitter tells you to do
* Encouraging professional prevention programs in the local school system
Sexually abused children and their families need immediate professional evaluation and treatment. Child and adolescent psychiatrists can help abused children regain a sense of self-esteem, cope with feelings of guilt about the abuse, and begin the process of overcoming the trauma. Such treatment can help reduce the risk that the child will develop serious problems as an adult.

Excerpts from Your Child on Sexual Abuse
Many parents are unsure or squeamish about bringing up sexual matters, especially with their children. Yet, there are ways of laying the groundwork so that you can talk to your child without scaring her. Establish an open dialogue about sexual issues early on. If you introduce the subject of sex in a discussion of abuse, there is the danger that the idea of sex may become automatically linked in your child’s mind with danger and anxiety.
If you have fostered in your child a sense of ownership regarding her body, she will likely have an instinct about what is okay for her body and what is not. You build on her natural sense of ownerships of her body by letting her pick out her own clothes or wash herself in her own way. Also, avoid pushing her to kiss or hug other adults when she clearly does not want to.
Finally, when parents treat their children’s bodies with respect, children tent to demand that others treat their bodies in a similar manner. Children who are consistently hit, grabbed, or physically punished at home may feel that adults are entitled to misuse their bodies simply because they are bigger.

Ten Facts about Sexual Abuse of Boys and its Aftermath
1. Up to one out of six men report having had unwanted direct sexual contact with an older person by the age of 16. If we include non-contact sexual behavior, such as someone exposing him- or herself to a child, up to one in four men report boyhood sexual victimization. (1, 2)
2. On average, boys first experience sexual abuse at age 10. The age range at which boys are first abused, however, is from infancy to late adolescence. (1, 2)
3. Boys at greatest risk for sexual abuse are those living with neither or only one parent; those whose parents are separated, divorced, and/or remarried; those whose parents abuse alcohol or are involved in criminal behavior; and those who are disabled. (3)
4. Boys are most commonly abused by males (between 50 and 75%). However, it is difficult to estimate the extent of abuse by females, since abuse by women is often covert. Also, when a woman initiates sex with a boy he is likely to consider it a “sexual initiation” and deny that it was abusive, even though he may suffer significant trauma from the experience. (1)
5. A smaller proportion of sexually abused boys than sexually abused girls report sexual abuse to authorities. (3)
6. Common symptoms for sexually abused men include: guilt, anxiety, depression, interpersonal isolation, shame, low self-esteem, self-destructive behavior, post-traumatic stress reactions, poor body imagery, sleep disturbance, nightmares, anorexia or bulimia, relational and/or sexual dysfunction, and compulsive behavior like alcoholism, drug addiction, gambling, overeating, overspending, and sexual obsession or compulsion. (3, 4)
7. The vast majority (over 80%) of sexually abused boys never become adult perpetrators, while a majority of perpetrators (up to 80%) were themselves abused. (1)
8. There is no compelling evidence that sexual abuse fundamentally changes a boy’s sexual orientation, but it may lead to confusion about sexual identity and is likely to affect how he relates in intimate situations. (3, 4)
9. Boys often feel physical sexual arousal during abuse even if they are repulsed by what is happening. (4)
10. Perpetrators tend to be males who consider themselves heterosexual (5, 6) and are most likely to be known but unrelated to the victims. (3)

I kind of every year do not think the holiday/Christmas season is the happiest. They say it is. But is it? Even Christmas songs say this. But, we have less hours of daylight, this time of year and it’s also colder. They say mentally this makes people more depressed and tired, there’s something that they call it. Plus everyone is rushing around and stressing out to buy things for their friends and family. And a lot of people at least in America get in debt and lavish up on their gift buying. They think they have to buy something nice or expensive otherwise people will be disappointed. And prices can be raised on items this time of year. Which is messed up! Also, what about the poor and needy? They can’t be lavishing it up, but some of them are content. Not all of them. They also say more suicides happen this time of year. It’s because a lot of people don’t have close friends or family to celebrate this season with. This is more common then we think.

I now have 70 subscribed readers to my blog including three pastors and more people reading it daily then just that! Pray God continues to use me and His spirit guides me. I do not want to say something that contradicts scripture nor say something that is not sound doctrine. I have a huge responsibility now. At least I feel I do! Pray God always speaks through me and His gifts are always for His glory. So far by replies to my blogs people have learned or were inspired by something I wrote. That’s awesome praise God, that He’s using me! Wow! I don’t want to ever take that for granted!
Someone asked if I was Jewish by my recent Chanukkah blog. No, I’m in fact not. I just like to read and study up on anything biblical and the Hebraic roots of Christianity are so there and they interest me as much as anything of God and the bible. There’s a lot there Hebraicly that a lot of Christians miss! This is studying the culture of the bible. I also like to study up on the language the bible was first written in. I also like to study up on the gifts and fruits of the holy ghost and fasting and praying. Anything biblical or related to God in any fashion I like to read up on! I am very blessed by several ministries and their teachings, I’d like to introduce you guys too. I’m going to start posting video, audio and pictures more in my blog too. If you’re open minded there’s some pretty cool stuff out there! Stuff I’d like to share with you guys. If you’re interested! And by all means share stuff with me, or teach me. I want that! We all can learn from each other! A lot of what I know I learned from others! And then I just passed it along. Like a recent blog “Did God Promise You Something?” I said who gave me that main verse. It blessed me so I passed it on and it blessed a few of you as well! God is good like that! His word does not come back void! And in fact I learned a bit by replies from you guys to some of my recent blogs. That’s awesome! God is good!
Someone asked if I celebrate Chanukkah do I no longer celebrate Christmas. The origins of Christmas are very pagan. But, I’m aware Christians, well actually first Catholics then general Christians made it Jesus’ birthday celebration. I was raised celebrating Christmas. And my family does so I do. I’m not totally against it. I kind of celebrate both. Chanukkah I celebrate because I want to and I want to honor and obey God and what He told me. And to each his/her own, you can do what you want. And some things God may tell me to do and not you and vise-versa. I mostly celebrate Christmas because of my family.
See with my blog I just openly share what God gives me. And if you’re open to it maybe you can learn something from God and God gets the glory! I personally think the Jewish festivals and what they really symbolize is very interesting. You in fact will too, if I teach you about some of the other one’s some things you may not be aware of! Am I trying to go back under the law no. Am I saying celebrate them, no. I’m just saying lets learn about God and the things of God. Believe me we as an American culture miss a lot even in the bible unless you go to reliable sources and read up on it!
I’m going to share with you soon how Pentecost in Acts chapter 2 is the beginning of the church age and how Gentiles were grafted in. And how Pentecost started from Ruth who was of Gentile ancestry and she married a Jew and how those go together how God married the church, it’s fascinating.
I’m going to share with you the future prophetic events and how the festivals of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur and Sukkot/The Feast of Booths/Tabernacles play together with that. I’m going to share with you more on prophecy as a whole in the bible, from Isaiah to Jeremiah, to Ezekiel to Daniel, etc, etc. I’m going to share with you more about the holy ghost and the gifts. I’m going to share more with you about spiritual warfare. I’m going to share more with you what’s going on in the world today! See, I just study and write what I’m interested in and what I study, then I eventually put in my blog to share with others. And if it touches or ministers to others glory be to God! I’m going to share with you the code of the priest, the mystery of the temple, the mystery of giants, a lot of things!
One of my subscribers read in my recent blog how I said I’ve been able to interpret dreams and they asked me if I could for them. I can if God gives it to me it’s His gift and He chooses to give me insight when He chooses to give it to me! According to His will. I told them one mistake I used to make is asking people for words and different people said different things and this left me confused. And some people I shared with used my words against me. I had to do a study on true and false prophecy, when I did I wrote it then added it to my blog. I just didn’t want my friend to make the same mistake I did. I reminded them that he bible says “seek ye first the kingdom of God”. I think a true anointing and gifting that comes from God is God’s spirit doing it. And if God wants to manifest and minister He does. Sometimes He wants us to wait and have faith and trust in Him. I’ve had God give me interpretations other times He hasn’t. He may gift me an interpretation for this person and He may not! I’ve asked and prayed if He would. Maybe He will if I wait a bit. Most of the time it’s waiting in silence and stillness that you hear his voice. At least that’s been the case with me. And I think it’s scriptural. Huh? Something to study about and write about I guess.
I’m also going to post more writings and poetry by me and more about my life! I’m going to post pictures of me and videos of me on here. Some may not know but one of my many hobbies is juggling. Look for some video of me doing it soon. Also God gave me a gift for art, look for some of my art here soon as well! Also I’m going to post some of my favorite recipes here. I’m a gourmet chef. This blog is going to be wide and diverse as I am. lol

My friend wanted to go to a different church tonight. He felt led to check it out and visit. When I walked into that place the holy spirit hit hard! Also exactly the message I needed to hear on vision and dreams and hopes. And the Lord’s call and purpose and will! It was powerful! I love how the Lord does that gives you the exact message that you need to hear at the right time you need to hear it! The Lord is good! God is good all-the-time!

For those who are just getting to know me. I will post a blog more about me soon. And I’m in the process of writing a blog of my testimony. How I was saved, became born-again, how I was healed of bipolar/manic depressant disorder! How I’ve come to some of my views theologically by my experiences. What I’ve been through. I’ve been through a lot that may surprise some of you! Especially for someone so young, but I know God has a huge purpose and calling for me! And He was putting me through school, sometimes I feel the more you go through the more huge of a calling He has for you! I’m nobody without Christ. I’m so undeserving. But, He loves me and died for me and chose me anyways! God is God! I do not like to boast about myself, but every once in awhile in my blog I inform people what’s going on with my life so they can know and pray for me and I just think it’s good for my readers to know. I was going to post this last night, but I got busy.
First of all for those of you who don’t know I was raised in Phoenix, Arizona all of my life. I’ve only lived in Cincinnati since July 13th, of this year. This is where I feel the Lord has called me to. My mom was raised in Toledo, Ohio, so I had been to Ohio before when I was a kid just never Cincinnati. At first it was rough to start living here, I wasn’t familiar with the town, and I had no family, no friends, no job. But, the Lord is good He has provided. And He has opened doors. It is a long story why I live out here now, it will be part of my testimony. I had a friend encouraging me to move out here, and I had other friends telling me to go for it! I’ll get more in-depth about this when you read my testimony.
I work at Radio Shack part-time in a mall in Cincinnati, Ohio walking distance from my home. I also own my own business it’s trade named Loucks Enterprises (Loucks is my last name). This business is filed with the IRS and all of that other legal stuff. Right now, I run an Ebay business. I’ve been reading up on real estate, a lot of hard work is involved, but a lot of money can be made. I do not worship money. Money is just a necessity in life to live. I have so many ideas, goals and visions, the Lord has recently given me. And some of it will take money, but I believe the Lord provides! I just want to bless so many others! And share Christ with people!
I also go to school at a fully accredited online bible college called Christian Leadership University. It’s set to my own pace and I love it! I just don’t have time to go to school like a normal college school day, so it works for me.
I also volunteer at the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. And I am going to do youth ministry soon again like I did about a year ago in the inner city of Phoenix. It was such a joy and privilege and honor! I can’t wait! I love kids! I’ve been writing a couple books for a few years and I hope to at least self-publish, then I can sell my books online on Amazon.com and my Myspace as well! God inspired me with the ideas of the books. I also believe I’m called to be an evangelist traveling ministering for the Lord. I’m believing that will soon happen too! And I play guitar for my church worship team. I’ve been writing some songs. I’ve been in the process of creating a music Myspace and a sermon Myspace! You know ministries have Myspace’s now? I’ve found one’s for Joel Osteen, Joyce Myer, Andrew Womack, T.L. Osborne, Benny Hinn, etc, etc, with their sermons on there (lets not argue our views on these ministers not the point of writing it), it’s in the music section of Myspace but it’s sermons. I’ve found hundreds of ministries with Myspace’s!
I go to a very anointed prophetic house church. Where the glory and the holy spirit fall. Many miracle healings have happened there! Generational curses being broken, soul ties being broken. Healings taking place! Angels have been seen ministering. Many people have an anointing that go there that prophesy and speak words of knowledge and words of wisdom with accuracy! And they interpret dreams and visions. Being around them wears off on me. Which are the kind of influences you want in your life!
They’re very mature in the Lord there! We just want more of Him and less of us! We let the holy spirit do what he wants, not what we want! We don’t play religion or church. Like onetime we worshipped and prayed and repented and let God search our hearts until we were in unity and in one accord then the holy spirit fell, this was all the way up until 2 am, we pressed in until He showed up at 2am!
Hearing God’s voice is different and unique and scary. Sometimes you think it’s your voice in your head, so you don’t want act on it. But, in the last month, I’ve stepped out in faith a bit, I’ve spoken prophesies and interpreted dreams and interpreted visions with 100% accuracy. How do I know? It has been confirmed, like I said in a recent blog, words are confirmed by two or three witnesses, this is scriptural. All glory goes to God however!
Okay about a month ago. Something brought me into a restaurant a restaurant I don’t normally go to. Any how according to scripture we are to remain silent when we help out the homeless. But, I believe this is a bit different. A guy walks up to me crying. It seemed genuine and I’m not gullible but very discerning. My heart went out to the guy. He had been through so much trauma and was homeless. He wasn’t your typical looking homeless man either. He looked like he was well educated. His story was sad that he shared with me. My heart went out to him. He wasn’t hungry yet, but I gave him some money for food, the bus, to do his laundry, etc. I admitted to him though that that money won’t help him long term. I sat and ate while we talked. He agreed with me that the money wouldn’t sustain him long-term. It turned out he was seeking God. I told him about the churches I go to (I also go to a messianic congregation on Saturdays), he was impressed and interested.
I have connections like a friend is about ready to start a home to help out the homeless. I told him my friend would be willing to talk to him when he got off work. This guy had to go to the job referral place up the street before 5. But, I did something rather unusual. I let him come over I let him sleep in my bed until he had to leave at 4:30. I played a worship Cd he wanted to listen to while he slept. It was unusual. I mean I’m giving but letting a stranger in my place and in my bed. He just seemed different and at the time I couldn’t place my finger on it! And there was no hesitation in doing so.
Anyways I woke him up at 4:30, he said it was a great Cd and that was the best sleep he had in awhile thanks. He said he was going to go the job referral place then he agreed to come back when he was done so my friend could come over and talk to him. This guy seemed to really want the help. My Christian friend also felt real good about it when I talked to him on the phone! And was willing to meet with him.
Well, the guy never came back. And you know how you get this feeling? And then Satan shows you something like an attack from someone like he’s making it clear he’s upset. The same thing happened the night after being anointed with the gift of prophecy my occultic unbelieving dad writes me an email out of the blue telling me off and it had been months that we spoke.
Well, again Satan let it known obviously that he was mad he had someone be used by him. Also I had this overwhelming feeling that guy was one of God’s angels as some sort of test. That night my friend read Hebrews 13:2 “Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it.” I’m like what no way?!?!?!
That night I had the most pleasant peaceful sleep. It felt like a heavenly presence in my bed. Just like the night I was saved and other times the devil should be mad I had a nightmare. I never remember my dreams. Except on these occasions or when God gives me a dream. This nightmare and what it was about confirmed to me the devil was upset, and that God was about to do some great things and that guy indeed was an angel from God and was a test. And the devil was upset I did that, I opened a new heavenly door to my life!
I’ve had countless times received the same similar prophecy from different individuals. And the awesome things God was about to do, I won’t go into details about all of itat this moment in time! Well, since that day of helping out the angel unaware things have been different and better! I’m more at peace and closer to the Lord.
We had a guest speaker at our church. I guess he has some special breakthrough anointing from God. After he laid His hands and prayed for me I was even more different. God’s loud audible voice is so loud upon me. His presence and anointing is so strong. I weap, I tremble. My words are becoming more of His and not mine, I feel the holy spirit speaking through me. God gives me insight and revelations like never before. I’m just summing it up! but, this stuff has been wild and awesome God is good!
I sent out a prayer request as a bulletin on Myspace asking for prayer recently, with great response. Then out of my heart, I felt led to create a prayer list in Microsoft Word with all of my friends and family in-person and all of my friends on Myspace. So, I can remember them all and pray. I believe in the power of prayer, I’ve seen the evidence of it in my own life! I sent out a bulletin on Myspace “Any Prayer Requests Out There?” I got huge response! I added their specific needs to my prayer journal in Word. I told them I was indeed praying. Then I sent out a bulletin titled praying for you guys and told about my prayer journal. People were impressed. Then I saw the great need there.
God quickened me to an idea. I sought no one on it. I just was going on the flow of the holy ghost, I created a Myspace profile Myspace Prayer Chain.
Someone sends in a prayer request in a private message, that prayer request is added to the blog within 24 hours anonymously. Friends of the profile can add a comment we’re praying or we’re willing to give you advice. It’s up to the individual whether or not to take them up on it. Each prayer request is numbered. So even though the prayer request remains anonymous they can track it.
I chose to leave the advice out of it initially. Because we sadly can get in a lot of legal trouble in this day and age. We added a disclaimer we’re just a prayer site, if you need 24 hour prayer or if you need professional counseling please contact so and so. I don’t want many to know it’s me, but you faithful readers I want you to know. You are friends and I want all glory to go to God. Should I share it’s me on there or not? I’ve thought on that and went back and forth someone suggested I should. More people might feel comfortable submitting prayer requests if they knew who was running it they said. Would they though? In some ways I feel the opposite. I also don’t want glory I want that all on God! But would people submit prayer requests more if they at least knew who was running it? Or not?
I’ve been inviting everyone I knew who was Christian on Myspace and I’m not even done. Not even close! Also please invite your friends. I’ve met several of these Christians on Hardcore Christians Group and a lot of other places. I know hundreds! It’s awesome how us believers re taking over Myspace!
When it was first created I just invited a few and no prayer requests were submitted just what it was going to be, and all of my friends on there thought it was a great idea! I sought my spiritual authorities on it and prayed and sought God on it! I got my answers and confirmations then I officially launched it late Saturday night. It’s brand new I had to work out a few kinks and pray to God about it, some doubt came in, but I knew it was the enemy. I’ve been told by a few friends some may disagree with it, but don’t let that discourage you, what matters is what God thinks and the day of judgment. I’ve received my confirmations a lot, and God seems to be doing something awesome there! At least starting to!
We’re in a day and age, the times we’re living in my brothers and sisters I believe we need each other the most. Times are getting hard before the soon return of Christ. I say put aside our differences, things we may not agree on, and denominations. But, lets be unified as one in the body of Christ. We all agree Jesus died for our sins and rose again on the third day and prayer works. We need to uplift each other and edify each other and pray for one another. Your messages to me are very valuable and important, sincerely I mean that!
I’ve invited several of you to be a reader of my blog and thanks for subscribing. You all have been an inspiration to me in one way or another! We may not have agreed on every issue we’ve discussed and maybe you or I have had our bad days when we’ve talked. But, we’re family in the kingdom of God. I don’t know about you, but I need your words of encouragement according to Ephesians 4:29, and I need your prayers. I believe strongly we’re in the last days and things will get worse. But, we have a hope in Christ. Lets stand together and fight a good fight and be unified instead of divided, we need each other!
I now have over 62 subscribers to my blog, praise God. I’m also subscribed to all of your blogs! I just see the potential Myspace has and the internet has as a whole. Myspace Prayer Chain is just simply going to be prayer requests. I don’t want fame or money with it, it’s about the belief in prayer! I have other ideas to make money with other Myspace profiles. And nothing wrong with it! We need to make a living And support ourselves! those are non-ministry in nature.
I invited one of my good friends to Myspace Prayer Chain, he said he doesn’t have time. I understand. Who has time? I technically don’t either, I’m doing a lot and taking on a lot. And by the grace of God my days have seemed to be elongated. I need to be able to do good time management and the Lord has been helping me with it. Please pray for me! I love to, just love to! take back the internet and Myspace for God and away from the devil, like many of you believers are also doing. I appreciate it incredibly! Your light and inspiration has inspired me and your messages are valuable to me I take the time to write back, and I love to. and thanks again to m friend Enoch who gave me that verse out of Romans where God’s call and gifts are irrevocable. I used it applied it to a blog, now it has touched others! Praise God! This is what I’m talking about unity one accord! Love, prayer! This is what we need right now and the times we’re living in!
Someone, a friend wants me to help them with a Myspace profile and web site that will help people as well. And see this can be advertised or connected with the Myspace Prayer Chain some how. and her idea is where my heart is as well!
I have a good friend trying to start a Christian group on Myspace, lets hook her up and connect her up too! She’s my friend and sister, I would love to!
Sometimes Christians it’s who we know. Someone might be skilled at one thing that we’re not. But, we don’t keep in touch enough to know someone can provide a service that we need or vise-versa. We need each other! This friend asked if I knew any Christian who knew how to build a website. I said yeah me. Someone else, a good friend recently found out I was educated in college as a PC tech networking guy, I guess if she would have known sooner I could have helped her with part of her college studies! Lets all stay in contact and unity and prayer for one another! We need each other! I guess by the grace of God I’ve been an inspiration and encouragement to a lot of people they’ve told me, but I’m nobody without Christ. (John 15:5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing., Isaiah 64:6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.) We’re in the last days! Lets make these last days count for something awesome for the Lord!
A few verses for you to close this out:
Hosea 4:6 my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge.
Hosea 12:10 I spoke to the prophets, gave them many visions and told parables through them.”
2 Corinthians 12:1 I must go on boasting. Although there is nothing to be gained, I will go on to visions and revelations from the Lord.
There’s a total of 96 references to vision in the King James and 103 in the NIV! It is very important to have it! (I know because of my bible program, Bible Works)
I’d like to write longer more in depth but this is summing it up until you read my testimony.
