					<description><![CDATA[Redeemed, so true. Funny how things start up, oh so innocent and as time goes by it explodes into something sinister. I used to use Facebook in the beginning to keep in contact with family living in other countries...much cheaper than a phone call.

Then Facebook started to evolve. Now the youngster push that &quot;like&quot; button for the most horrible/satanic things. I asked about this and the answer was, &quot;But it is so cool&quot;, yet they don&#039;t actually know what they &quot;liked&quot;. And this is where the &quot;herding&quot; comes in as you mentioned. Satan is &quot;herding&quot; Gods&#039; people and before we know it he will have his own army.

This is scary stuff!!!!]]></description>

Micheline

Gosh, this is just like those chain emails one would receive when you are at work. Do this, pass it onto 30 people and something great will happen in 7 days, don&#039;t and you will lose both your arms and legs to a lion.

But these sms&#039; are worse, they land in the hands of children, where as the above chain emails mostly went to adults at work.  These sms&#039; are also very dangerous in the fact that you are not praying to God when you repeat this &#039;prayer&#039; but you are praying to Satan.  In the olden days, chain emails ended with, &#039;send this email off to 7 people in 7 seconds and you will win the lotto, if you don&#039;t you won&#039;t win anything ever again&#039; now-a-days these chain messages play on your &#039;love for God&#039; - they take you spiritually hostage and give you no ultimatum,  do this and you love God, don&#039;t do this and you DON&#039;T love God.  

A child who has any form of Christian upbringing in their life loves God, and will be trapped into Satan&#039;s web if lies and will pray this occult prayer.

As a parent I would explain to my child that this message is not a Christian message, because 

1) as a child of God, Jesus automatically protects you
2) as a child of God, God will make sure you have what you NEED all the time - He knows how many hairs you have on your head and He looks after each and every single sparrow&#039;s well being.
3) as a child of God we are not to demand material things, or anything for that matter from God, who do we think we are? We can ask yes, but it does not mean we will get it.  There is however someone who loves to give us material things to &#039;trap&#039; us and that is Satan... let&#039;s look at when Jesus went to the desert:

Matthew 4:1-11 
1.  Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness &lt;strong&gt;to be tempted of the devil.&lt;/strong&gt;
2.  And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.
3.  And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
4.  But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
5.  Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,
6.  And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
7.  Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
8.  Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain,&lt;strong&gt; and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;&lt;/strong&gt;
9.  &lt;strong&gt;And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.&lt;/strong&gt;
10.  Then saith Jesus unto him, &lt;strong&gt;Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.&lt;/strong&gt;
11.  Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.

&gt;&gt;  This prayer is so powerfull

This sms&#039; says that this &#039;prayer&#039; is very powerful, in other words, it&#039;s a SPELL, an incantation.  Who is powerful alone but Jesus Christ.  The words we say to God are not powerful.  

This is a test all right, from Satan to see who is &#039;unlearned&#039; enough to fall for his trap.

Your daughter has opened herself up to Satan by unbeknowning to her, praying an occult prayer to him.  She needs to go to Jesus Christ and ask for forgiveness for this and tell Jesus directly that she loves him, not through some silly sms which is a lie.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hi Debs,

I know this might be a little off topic, but it is cell phone related :)

Most of our children used cell phones these days, which from a mothers point of view is a blessing...I can speak to them when I need to; know where they are; etc.

However, this wonderful technology also comes with other stuff, as in they are now open to the whole world to &quot;market&quot; its version of God.

I have a teenager (yes, and a difficult one at that...not &quot;ugly&quot; difficult, thank goodness). She receives regular sms messages that reads like this:



&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;Read every sentence very carefully. To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did. When God takes something from your grasp, He&#039;s not punishing you but merely opening your hands to receive something better.

Concentrate on this sentence. The will of God will never take you where the grace of God will not protect you.

Something good will happen to you today. Something that you have been waiting to hear.

Please do not break. Just 27 Words, God our Father, walk through my house take away all my worries and illnesses. Please watch over me and heal my family. In Jesus name, Amen.

This prayer is so powerfull. Pass this to 12 people, including me. A blessing is coming to you in the form of a new job, a house, health, marriage or financially. Do not break or ask questions. This is a test. Does God come first in your life? 

If so stop what you&#039;re doing and send this to 12 people. If you love God send this to 12 people like I did and watch what will happen in 30 seconds.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;



A little background info:  We&#039;re in a situation where she desperately wants a car, an old car, not a second hand more modern one.  We have been fighting this &quot;war&quot; for about a year now. We believe an economical, trustworthy vehicle will be best for a student without an income.

The senario: She gets these messages and applies it to her situation, forwards it to us....and is now waiting for her &quot;wants&quot; from God, via us ofcause.

What would your take on these type of messages be?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Deborah!!You are back!! Praise the Lord, I have missed you so much!!

I agree the technology is just driving us further into the new world system. I doubt Jesus would have wasted His time with mobile phones..

I was reading something on a technology site where they said that soon the government(s) will be able to listen to you through your microphone on your computer, even when it is switched off! They can also track where you are with your mobile phones (cell)..and other scary stuff. Apparantley, Prince William has a chip in his hand, or arm, so that he can be tracked anywhere.

Anyhoo..so glad you are back Debs!!]]></description>
