I like Parker on Gold Fever and Parker's Trail.  I like that they all seem to have dogs.  I'm too old to take up another obsession.  ?

I have a confession to make: I am addicted to the gold shows on the Discovery Channel.  I watched Bearing Sea Gold near Nome, Alaska last night.  In Australia, they have a much different approach to the mining in the Yukon, Alaska or abandoned mines in the lower 48.  They rely on metal detectors.  I've been watching all the shows.

What a breath of fresh air this thread is, compared with the one about rock'n'roll that I've just left.  Music is for praising God!  Hallelujah!

Made me chuckle...:)

All things are lawful for us but not all things edify

God bless you

I'm not near an ocean, but there's plenty of rivers with sandy shores to try as well as civil war battle fields.

Awesome...if you do enough research you can find where people used to live, old settlements etc and search for relics...Sometimes if you keep an eye out you can see the tell tale signs of where people used to live like fruit bearing trees that seem to be out of place..

My wife and I found quite a few unbroken geodes in the creeks in Illinois.

Gotta love those things..i always wanted to go look for those but whenever i used to have a holiday i would go to the goldfiels and detect, there is a story that emus like shiny things and when they see gold will swallow it, this may or may not account for loner nuggets ..:)

God bless

And this one

Great point!

Strongholds are a mental result of thoughts being formatted in one's minds repeatedly against the truth of God's Word. Thoughts can develop strongholds in our minds for the enemy of our soul. We can control our thoughts by bringing "every thought" into the obedience of Christ (God's thoughts). But only by the power of the Holy Ghost. Shalom.

Awesome thank you

Also i realised I probably should have started with what a stronghold is...basically it is a place like a fortress that is secure and can be defended...God is our stronghold and we can find security in Him...

However it seems the enemy can build strongholds in us if we let him...and when he has built his fortress will defend it...i think this can be seen sometimes where bitterness and anger and strife is the fruit!?...Some people even use the 'oi vey' button! as harmless as it might seem i think the intent is to hurt..and may be an evidence of something within that needs to be addressed, maybe a stronghold of the enemy or the beginnings of one, but certainly not nice ..

The best defense against the enemy forming a stronghold is to identify the moment he attempts to infiltrate our armor and stop him immediately...zero tolerance in my opinion...I am confident the enemy is always present always trying to influence our thoughts, and then when we do not take captive that thought we speak it and a rumor is started or a hurtful remark is made...So lets be swift to hear and slow to speak...We have two ears and one mouth for a reason..

We need to be mindful of our every word and who the audience is....is the audience listening with open ears or defensive ears?.. i myself forget who i am addressing sometimes and  what i consider wise words is taken as insult... ...if we are not careful we can bring the enemy into the body of Christ when  we are careless with what we say/do...  I think we should stop the infection as soon as we notice it before it enters and becomes a stronghold whether we notice it in ourselves or the Body we share...

God bless

...

So many good ones..Like this one too

Then sings my soul,
My Savior God, to Thee,
How great Thou art!
How great Thou art!
Then sings my soul,
My Savior God, to Thee,
How great Thou art!
How great Thou art!

As a geologist, I usually use other people's money to find buried treasure.

Never used a metal detector in the field though.

Hi teddyv

Would love to have been a geologist..slightly off topic,  i don't know much about them but dig rocks too...i think of each strata as another page in Gods book...Used to pick up any rock that was out of place..

Be blessed

What do termites eat out in the desert?? ?

Hi Shel

Good question, i actually thought the same thing at the time and looked it up...apparently these ones eat the spinifex grass, also the mounds are made from the surrounding soil mixed with the spit of the little guys...these mounds provide food and shelter for lizards ...Apparently a study was done where x amount of mounds were dissected and every mound had at least 1 lizard sometimes a lot, and i think the report showed the mounds attracted pythons..i often see them partly pulled apart and i think that might be from echidnas burrowing into them..

I bought a Radio Shack kit for my father and he regifted it to me.  I built it and it did work.  I don't remember finding anything of value and now the metal detector is gone.  

Oh i see...I think i remember those ....I wonder if they still have them or similar?...Now a days a new and better metal detector is released for sale every couple of years or so...i haven't actually gone to the goldfields for many years..But last weekend i went down to the beach to have a quick detect because  a storm had just gone through...the tide was still too high but it was really fun regardless...i found two 10 cent coins.. :)  i haven't really had time to do it for such a long time...

God bless

Yes they were spirit guides, but I know they're evil now.

I have some tarot cards, I could get rid of them. 

What if I don't know any Christians in real life, and I can't get to a church because my parents won't let me and I don't think I'll be able to get away with it, could it be done online?

Yes I was abused ritually, terribly, by evil people who knew things they couldn't know, like even what I thought sometimes, they might have been doing witchcraft or some sort of magic arts to be able to abuse me the way they did. Could they have had something to do with this happening?

Thank you so much for helping me.

Thank you.

 

And thank you all for praying for me, we'll see if this helps.

Hi JaneLee

Some good advice here. and as already mentioned by others be careful who you speak to......Things could get worse if you start following a lie you need to be familiar with the word ..satan is the father of lies and would have you believe anything other than you are possessed or if you are a Christian oppressed...Read the bible it is the Word of God, this is your sword to defend yourself, just as Jesus showed us when He was tempted by the devil..He rebuked the enemy with scripture, this is our example to follow...

Matthew 4 :1-11 "Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. ² And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He was hungry. ³ Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.”

⁴ But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ”

⁵ Then the devil took Him up into the holy city, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, ⁶ and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it is written:

and,

⁷ Jesus said to him, “It is written again, ‘You shall not ^[a]tempt the Lord your God.’ ”

⁸ Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. ⁹ And he said to Him, “All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me.”

¹⁰ Then Jesus said to him, ^[b]“Away with you, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.’ ”

¹¹ Then the devil left Him, and behold, angels came and ministered to Him."......

This is the armour to put on daily to protect you from satan..

Ephesians 6: 10-18  "Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the [a]wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of [b]the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

¹⁴ Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, ¹⁵ and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; ¹⁶ above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. ¹⁷ And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; ¹⁸ praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—"......

The enemy  will try to deceive you but don't believe his lies, when you accept Jesus you are no longer a victim and you are not to live as a victim you are to lead a victorious life.. You have authority when you use the Name of Jesus...When you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior you are made free by the finished work on the cross..Covered by the blood of the Lamb of God, the enemy has to flee...

Be blessed

Blessings Everyone

   The more I read Topics here regarding Spiritual Warfare the more it troubles me to know that so so so many "Christians"Understand so very little,The really sad part is not that they understand little but that they continue to post as an authority or a teacher......notgood

   Everything one needs to know is in the Written Word of God and the most Powerful Weapon a Christian has is the Sword of the Spirit and of course,the Authority to use it in the Mighty & Precious Name Above every name,Christ JESUS (Given  us by Jesus Himself)

  Now I've heard about this book & that book,this website & that website and so on....and a whole bunch of other information that can put a Christian that is not well grounded in a lot of trouble,more trouble than they started with......it's as dangerous as sending a child out into a land mine & instructing him to dance like he's never danced before across that field-crazy!

   You may say,"Well what makes her such an authority"? I can give you a long winded testimony of the years I spent in the occult or as a practicing witch or even tell you some stories that would make your hair stand on end-but I won't because all the Glory belongs to God and there is much Power in the Tongue.So,I'll hold back the many words that needn't give glory wickedness & instead ,test whatever I share against Scripture.....God is the Authority,not I and though I have much experience,that experience compels me to point you in the right direction,Gods Word.....that you needn't make so many mistakes by being mis-lead

   Anyone who was ever born is born into an unseen world of Spiritual Warfare,anyone who breathes air is influenced by what is wicked ,evil & unseen,and everyone who accepts Jesus as Lord & Savior has a target put on them more so than any other......some people recognized they are being attacked  ,others do not.......its foolish to think your circumstance makes your ordeal worse than any other even if it includes hideous satanic rituals ,physical abuse or demonic voices 24/7......though it is ugly,horrible & in your face,it is BONDAGE.....it is the same as someone suffering of cancer & comparing them to the fellow that had little headaches to deal with.....we must shed our carnal "me" minds & Understand that we are not unique to suffering and stop "feeling" sorry for ourselves if we are to walk in Spirit & in Truth

  I know it may sound harsh & without compassion but I tell you these things because I love you.....when Jesus came across the cripple who lie by the pool at Bethesda for 38years did He Say"Oh poor thing,it must have been horrible for you"?

The point is,the Lord Knows your suffering and He Has Also Seen your Deliverance,HE Has Already Delivered you ,Jesus broke those chains,set you FREE as you waited for that Manifestation.....you might be saying" What does a cripple have to do with ME"?"What does that have to do with satan attacking me?" It has everything to do with it,because of Jesus YOU have been Given the Authority to step on serpents & scorpions.Jesus Has Healed all manner of sickness & disease on the cross,He was foresaken in your place,He even Conquered death & was a CURSE for YOU.....

  And with only a WORD.....

But before you can SPEAK with Authority & before you can put on the Full Armor of God & before you can fully Understand what you have you MUST know WHO you ARE in Christ.....

   Thats what I hope to do here,I hope to Encourage those that seek knowledge in this area to first get well grounded,find your footing on solid ground,a firm foundation,good solid doctrine. Once you Understand how much God Loves you,how very important you are to Him,how much was accomplished & finished on the cross & you Embrace the Grace of God-because it is YOURS!Thenyyou can move ahead with Wisdom & Understanding,you will be both productive & effective with great Joy & much Peace

   So,you will ask," What do I do right now since you say I dont know enough to DO anything"   Simple,when you were a small child & someone picked on you ,you were frightened,vulnerable & very small,lol-right? You ran into your Mothers Arms or stood behind your big brother ..............Stand behind Jesus,trust Him because the battle is not even yours,the entire WAR was Already WON,Stand on the Position of Victory ...dig into Gods Word seeking God with all your heart ,mind & soul- HE WILL BE THERE ,HE IS THERE

Learn the Power of your tongue

Please,stop talking so much about demons,their power,satanic rituals,things& people that go bump in the night & speak the Word of God

No need to entertain or argue with the enemy....."the Lord Rebukes you" is enough,trust Jesus!

Seek God,Trust God,Praise God,Give thanks,talk less...........focus more=JESUS

                                                                                                          With love-in Christ<Kwik

This is very good, Thank you...

As you have told me before we need to be aware and be mindful of what we speak "claim"...."i have" should not be followed with a negative from satan...but should be succeeded by words such as "authority" and "deliverance" etc in Christ Jesus...by saying "i have" you are claiming it like a pet that you love and take for walks(Kwiks analogy) ...So basically stop speaking what the enemy would have us  focus on and start speaking the promises we have in God by Jesus...If we give place to the enemy he can devour us and become large  and in charge of our thoughts and lives...We can't deny spiritual warfare and shouldn't let pride stand before us...We are not victims we are victorious in Jesus...Thank You Jesus

God bless you
