JESUS CHRIST’S BLOOD SAVES

IMG-20190928-WA0017.jpgJesus Christ’s SUPERBLOOD DNA 2,000 years ago dripped on Adam’s creation site below. Jesus was buried but He rose again Jesus’ BLOOD DNA ran through stone wall fell on Adam in Jerusalem. Jesus cried out in loud voice gave up His Spirit that moment curtain of temple tore in two from top to bottom. Earth shook, rocks split, tombs opened in Matthew 27:50-51 the dead came out alive seen by so many people. An earthquake on day Jesus died made Jesus’ BLOOD drip through cracks in walls. Romans crucified Jesus who died for world’s sins has SUPERBLOOD DNA UNIQUE does not contain Y male chromosomes He was conceived by Holy Ghost miracle of God so doesn’t match human DNA Turin Cloth. Jesus’ Priceless BLOOD God created is incomparable to human’s DNA.20190928_184352.jpgUNIQUE Jesus’ BLOOD shed for mankind for forgiveness of sins on the Cross is a miracle! So Father God FORGIVES ALL sins as Jesus is raised from death in Jerusalem many people saw this wonder working Power of BLOOD of Jesus. Jesus said, “Father Forgive them for they do not know what they were doing.” He forgave Barabbas, chosen by “CROWD FROM ALL NATIONS under heaven in Jerusalem for Passover feast celebration. Barabbas is in Gospels of Matthew 27:15–26; Mark 15:6–15; Luke 23:18–24; John 18:40 Jesus forgave. IMG-20190928-WA0018.jpgThe trial of Jesus by Pontius Pilate a Roman governor confirmed Jesus is innocent so not worthy of death in Luke 23:15. Pilate knew Jesus hated by chief priests influence crowd to chose Barrabas in Mark 15:10 looked for a way to release Jesus. Pilate’s choice was for crowd to release innocent Jesus or Barabbas a murderer in Luke 23:19. In Matthew 27:25 but ALL PEOPLE rejected Jesus so said “HIS BLOOD be on us and on our CHILDREN. ALL PEOPLE FROM ALL NATIONS FORGIVEN by Jesus whether Jews or Gentiles all forgiven. 15696931614245162818366070061888.jpgReplacement theology lies Church replaced Jews but no one can replace Israel CHOSEN BY GOD JEHOVAH. Modern generation Jews had NO control over choice of predecessors. CHOOSE LIFE NOT be victim of death curses of the past. Choice of Barabbas a simple ‘yes’ answer but they further invoked death, “Let His BLOOD be on us and our CHILDREN. So modern generations pay the price for their past choice. GOSPEL’S GOOD NEWS IS JESUS FORGAVE same DAY! CLAIM FORGIVENESS BREAK FREE from the ancestors death curse Jesus ALREADY HAS FORGIVEN multitudes.15696930762004127569221499745546.jpgMatthew 27:25, His BLOOD be on us and our children misused by Christian anti-Semitism distorts God’s truth to promote racism. The Bible says the sins of the fathers will not be visited on their children not guilty of death of Jesus. The fathers will no longer eat sour grapes so the children’s teeth is set on edge. PEOPLE FROM ALL NATIONS under heaven in Jerusalem chose Jesus to be crucified not Jews. Future generations wrongly blamed in Matthew 27:25 hated by the Church but who made you a judge? On the Day of LORD they will be judged by KING of kings Jesus Christ. IMG-20190928-WA0015.jpgError of invoking SUPER SACRED UNIQUE DNA BLOOD OF JESUS blames His death on Jews but ALL PEOPLE FROM ALL NATIONS in CROWD sinned. Matthew 27:25 is misused to mislead people ignores the FORGIVENESS of Jesus. Jesus forgave Barabbas PRAYED for FORGIVENESS FOR ALL NATIONS present at Jerusalem. Receive FORGIVENESS Jesus paid the price for your sin so shed HIS PRECIOUS SHED BLOOD. Israel is not RESPONSIBLE for Jesus’ death on the Cross so is NOT replaced by Church or Nations. Adam DNA inherited natural sin in all humans God FORGIVES but you must accept Jesus or punished by God. 15697718851878301714933286254255.jpgPeople on Passover pilgrimage in Jerusalem  travel three times a year: Parthians, Medes, Elamites, Mesopotamians, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus, Phrygia Pamphylia, Asia Egypt, Libya Cyrene, Rome, Jews, proselytes, Cretans, Arabians people under heaven in Jerusalem. With resident Jews in Bible, “dwelt in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from all nations under heaven.” Some Jews by birth but among the crowd was Gentiles converted to Jewish faith and its CHRISTIAN follower Judas Iscariot who betrayed Jesus!!! Devout Jews together and proselyte Gentiles Christians present in crowd from all nations under heaven celebrated passover in the crowd.15696931104693004769993702182808.jpgIn Matthew 27:25 ALL THE PEOPLE said His BLOOD BE ON US why attack or blame Jews by antiSemitism. All PEOPLE of all NATIONS need FORGIVENESS OF JESUS whether Jew or Gentile. Replacement Church theology lie  must stop because nobody replaces Israel’s Covenant CHOSEN BY GOD JEHOVAH. Teach and educate people living history of the BLOOD OF JESUS and break curses of death. Heaven’s and earth’s cloud of witnesses say CHOOSE life blessings not curse CONSEQUENCES that lasts GENERATIONS in Matthew 27:25. Jesus BLOOD gives LIFE but Abel’s blood cries out for God’s vengeance punishment in Hebrew 12:24. IMG-20190928-WA0016.jpgGod is COMPASSIONATE FORGIVES by MERCY, GRACE RECONCILES us to Jesus who prayed to FATHER God FORGIVE THEM for they know not what they are doing. On Cross Jesus FORGAVE is OFFER you CANNOT REFUSE or be punished by God on Judgement day. The crux of matter is ACCEPT the FORGIVENESS of JESUS MESSIAH LORD AND SAVIOUR’S GIFT OF ETERNAL LIFE. Its spiritual death if sin separates you from God by rejecting Jesus no other name will save you.15697634998624618490773650867844.jpg20190928_180959.jpg Christ is the Hope of GLORY don’t hate Jesus or kill God’s MESSENGERS sent to SAVE you in anger by hating Israel. Israel lost children of Jesus’ generation of 0-2 years old Herod’s jealousy slaughtered coast to coast in all the twelve tribes in Israel. Some prefer hatred of Jews hate Jesus angry He didn’t save Jews from Roman bondage. Scribes, leaders hate Jesus due to fear of His popularity of crowd. Jealous, Jesus’ large crowds wanted to make Him King will take power from them. Paid people to lie chose Barabbas set free pardon granted on compassionate grounds yearly.15696927527911641221047547043538.jpg Precious BLOOD of Jesus is Holy so Sacred not ordinary blood passing sin to 300 generations if punished by God. BLESSINGS for families to the 1000th generation sin of fathers not transferred to descendants from the past. New generations weighed down heavily by DNA encumbered sin God forgives by SACRED BLOOD OF JESUS. ALL NATIONS are FORGIVEN by JESUS SAVED from curses of sin of death over their future children. Those who target Jews need to understand ALL nation implicated in CROWD that day all nations under the heavens in Jerusalem. Crucifixion of Jesus is a corporate punishment by association implicates ALL NATIONS present in Jerusalem. REPENT to CHOOSE LIFE not death of innocent Jews accused of Jesus’ BLOOD shed. Jesus is giving His BLOOD to save, heal, clean all sins do not live in error to perish in Jesus Name.15696928877838231693452752180389.jpgEarthquake on day Jesus died dripped blood on Adam’s site is promised Seed of woman sent by God Jesus. God says MY PEOPLE perish for the lack of knowledge sin forgiven by Jesus GIVES FORGIVENESS GOD’S GIFT TO ALL NATIONS. Attacking Israel against God’s plan is judged by Yahweh for harassing Jews. God CHOSE Israel as HIS role model to bless to all nations on the earth. Make informed choice don’t follow crowd to sin against Yahweh Elohim Jehovah CHOOSE LIFE for you/r CHILDREN in Deuteronomy 30:19 WORDS have CONSEQUENCES to generations. As said crucify Him let His BLOOD be on us and our children in Matthew 27:25 Jesus’ BLOOD is giving eternal LIFE unlike the blood of Abel in Hebrew 12:24 crying out for God’s vengeance. FEAR GOD WHO KILLS THE BODY AND SOUL there is no rest for the wicked souls in hell fire. Be EDUCATED in BIBLICAL HISTORY to help you make better decision for you/r familly. In Isaiah 62:7, God said, Give HIM NO REST day or night to MAKE JERUSALEM A PRAISE ON EARTH.

Life in less perfect world is full of offence but God FORGIVES IN CHRIST so forgive yourself and others. Respond in love forgiven by God’s pardon of sin to forgive all who hate you. With God,“all things possible” in Matthew 19:26. Stop stress plaguing people by an unforgiveness for forgiving stops stress says Dr. Don Colbert, MD. Choose to forgive for your physical and mental wellbeing stop toxic stress by an unforgiveness harboured. Refuse to live in anger, bitter hatred, projecting racism on others in Jesus Name. In John 10:18, Jesus said none took His Life from Him He laid it down Himself by POWER  to lay it down and POWER to take it again as received of HIS FATHER GOD ALMIGHTY. Jesus said if He liked He could command God hosts of armies to defeat the people but HE GAVE HIS LIFE to redeem us in HIS BLOOD and FORGIVE us all.15696927527911641221047547043538.jpg In precious BLOOD of Jesus Collosians 2:12-19 says you are baptised in Christ risen in Him by faith in God from death. 13 In Christ your sins and all trespasses FORGIVEN. God BLOTS OUT 14 handwriting of ordinances contrary against you taken out of the way NAILED it to His Cross. 15 Spoiled principalities and powers He made a show of them openly triumphing over them. 16 Let no man judge you in meat, drink, respect of holyday, new moon, sabbath days. 17 These are shadows of things to come in the body of Christ 18. Let no man judge you of your reward in your humility worshipping God intrude in things they don’t vainly puffed up by fleshly mind. 19 Christ the Head of the Church joins His body bride knit together increase in wisdom and favour of God.

15696928877838231693452752180389.jpgEarthquake caused Jesus blood to drip down on Adam’s site of creation. Forgive, help and do good for total healing of mind, body, soul, Spirit in Jesus Name. Stop curse of BLOOD OF JESUS COVER AND BLESS YOUR CHILDREN IN JESUS CHRIST NAME. Judging or attacking the Jews or Gentiles is digging a pit to fall into because God CHOSE Israel HIS role model THEOCRATIC Nation to bless all nations. So have you been to Jesus for His cleansing power in Blood is God’s only GUARANTEED REMEDY for sin? Forgive the crowd and priests and elders who misled them vengeance belongs to God Yahweh. Salvation is the greatest miracle into eternal life in Christ so whosoever calls on the Name of the LORD shall be saved in Jesus Name. In John 3:16, For God so loved the world that HE gave Jesus HIS ONLY Begotten SON that whosoever believes in Jesus will not perish but have eternal life in God’s Presence forgiven of all sins in Christ.

God’s earth facing changes happening globally from Bible. In Isaiah 24 apocalyptic events happen to whole earth. 1. The LORD God makes earth empty to waste some places scattered inhabitants abroad. 2. Cataclysmic events shakes all people priests, servants, masters, maids, mistresses, buyers, sellers, lenders borrowers creditors, debtors 3 Land is empty plundered the LORD’s said. 4 Earth mourns, languishes, proud panic. 5. Earth is destroyed as inhabitants transgress God’s laws and breaks Covenant. 6. So curse devoures earth and some dwell desolate the inhabitants of earth burn so few left. 7. New wine fails, vines languishes, merry-hearted sigh. 8 Sound of tambourine ceases, noise of jubilants ends, joys of harp cease. 9 Will not drink wine with song, strong drink bitter to who drinks it. 10 A city of confusion, broken down, houses shut no one goes in. 11 Cry for wine in streets, joy, pleasures of land is gone 12 City is desolate its gates with destruction. Prince CharlesThe Queen’s prayer said for all nations as 13. Land shakes like olive trees gleaning grapes. 14 They will lift their voice and sing; People sing on balconies and majesty of the LORD is heard loudly from the seas. 15 Glorify the LORD at dawn of light the name of the LORD God of Israel is heard in coastlands of seas. 16 From ends of earth hear songs “GLORY to the righteous God. Some say, they are ruined ruined and the treacherous dealers dealing treacherously 17 Fear snares inhabitants of earth. 18 All who flee noise by fear fall in pit caught in snare. Windows on high open and foundations of earth is shaken. 19 The earth broken, splits opens is shaken. 20 The earth reels to and fro as the drunkard are shaken. Transgressions falls some not rise again. 21 Comes to pass that day the LORD will punish exalted ones on earth and kings of earth. 22  Some gathered prisoners shut in the prisons after many days are punished. 23 The moon changes Sun’s flares, for the LORD of hosts will reign at Mount Zion in Jerusalem with HIS people GLORIOUSLY on earth. Be sure God’s mercy reaches you so saved in Christ.

Several attempts to medically flush it in theatre intensive and critical care shifted the clot into his lung. Blood transfusion to help increase oxygen circulation due to his low blood pressure did not work. So clot lodged in his lungs, affected his breathing despite the air bag high tech ventilations. By the time a final attempt to flush it without bronschopy, using veins his exhausted body with low oxygen did not make it. If you read this article go for check up and do not be shy you are bothering doctor that is his job. If having a chest or back or leg pain with difficulty breathing get checked to be safe than sorry. If unable to afford medical bills or medication tell people around you to help with costs. If you hide illness it costs more to pay the funeral bills as same people for pay for burial ceremony. Above all, loved ones prefer you live to continue in this life as long as possible on earth. With medical advances do yourself a favour to get checked before it’s too late, prevention is better than cure. And listen to those encouraging you to get checked. Some willing to give you lift to appointments and accompany you if you ask them in advance to put you in diaries. And look after yourself and loved one’s priceless gift of life and value life. Foreign objects in lungs or other part of body unknown to person so get checked early and insist on scan even if reassured you are doing fine. Its your body that goes through the painful changes so if in pain or if feeling uncomfortable get checked early anyway.

In her words in an excellent book is found further details describing a narcissistic behaviour of people. Most people do not realize narcissistic relationships. So find out everything they thought about their relationship was a lie. Hard to look over your life in a long-term or a short-lived relationship to find out the person you thought cared didn’t have capacity to do so because of their personality disorder. Personality disorder hides under charm and charisma destructive to themselves and anyone involved. It hurtful to find out that you were only an object/tool to accomplish their own personal goals so you were depleted of resources needed for their personal gain. The book allows you to look at the seeds planted through life and the thought process that led so many people into this type of abusive relationship. This book has honest look at real life experiences and emotional damage. And the reality of the lack of awareness within our society of how such individuals operate and leave trail of destruction everywhere they go.61FOQhSbQYLPRAYER: Almighty Father God creator  of Heaven and all things on earth we humbly come before You with thanks giving in our hearts, asking for Your never ending mercy.

The working conditions in cocoa growing bring awareness of a fair trade by consumers. A researcher noted lack of evidence of ethical consumption among end-user improved situations of the child workers on West African cocoa farms. Consider questions on the rights of cocoa farmers and conditions faced by producers. Concerns of safety or well being ignored by its sold to government as sole buyer. Western countries ensure West African cocoa grown is harvested to Belgium and G7 countries but these workers are not afforded equal rights.

WE LOVE OUR BIG BODIES

We love our big bodies people call fat and able to do as much as we can by our talents and abilities. We work so hard to accomplish excellence in our fields of expertise yet our size seems to matter to some people more than getting to know us. We are ordinary people doing extraordinary things so enjoy life as much as possible. We decided to speak out on behalf of the people fatshamed to be miserable or to spend their whole life trying to be someone they are not. Some develop anorexia and bulimia by trying to be slim and control their weight. In the extreme cases lost their lives due to pressure to be stereotypical average size whatever that means. Magazine, TV, media, entertainment industry portray an unrealistic image of the majority of women. Young people look up to such images so refuse to eat properly. Photographer Alice Zoo speaks to six women on body positivity and fat activism to support people who face abuse daily go educate the public.

“I’ve been big from a young age. I was 10, I was diagnosed with underactive thyroid, so each year I’ve put on more weight. I was always really active, so it was strange. New lumps and bumps formed that I didn’t know what to do with. I was bullied a lot throughout my school years I hated my body absolutely hated it. It really affected my mental health. When I was in college, I went on a big, long-term diet and lost five stone. I was a lot slimmer though I was big but I realised I wasn’t a better person, I wasn’t beautiful, I wasn’t amazing. I was still same person, but a lot less happy. Then I discovered Instagram. I remember seeing the first girl that used a body positive hashtag and I thought she looked amazing. I remember seeing the first girl’s body positive hashtag so I thought she looks amazing. But one night someone commented on all of my pictures saying I was fat and looked like someone from Star Wars. I messaged her and asked her why she was doing it. Why she found it fun to hurt someone like that. She replied, and later admitted that she had hang-ups about her own body. She said she felt fat. It made me think that often people are just pushing their own insecurities out. Someone will look at me and think: ‘I don’t want to be that size, I wouldn’t be happy that size, so why should you be happy when you’re fat?’ It makes me sad to think about people struggling so much they think the only way to make themselves feel better is to put someone down. That’s not the way. You can’t be comparing yourself to other people. I know it’s not easy, but the sooner you start to see yourself, how great you are, the better. You won’t need to judge someone by their looks.

“I love the way I look and feel, because I’m comfortable, don’t feel any different from anyone else. I wake up and see myself as this normal person. I always tell people that I love my belly, I love my boobs. These squidgy parts might be seen as fat to someone else, but to me it’s just comfortable. There’s no-one out there who’s going to tell you that you’re not beautiful when you’re fat, simple as.

Find those who treasure and appreciate you and tell others how good they make you feel. Don’t be a person who always demoralises someone, or always being judgmental, because you have flaws. All have things they need to work on body.

“I have been waiting to be thin most of my life – to lose weight. I’ve put a lot of things on hold. When a kid growing up in Poland, I was quite sickly with upper throat infections and had to go to places we called sanatoriums to get better. Every time I went to one, they would put me on a low-calorie diet. They were always saying that I had to lose weight. Nowadays, when I look at photos from childhood, I don’t see anything wrong. I wasn’t skinny, but I wasn’t fat. But I was made to feel that there was something wrong. A few years ago, I started feeling a growing sense of anger so consuming a lot of feminist blogs and podcasts, and they talked about body positivity and self-love. I got to point where I thought, ‘There’s nothing wrong with the way I look, there’s nothing wrong with the way anyone looks. I’m just going to live my life.’ I stopped waiting to buy nice clothes, I just bought the clothes that fitted me. I started going on holiday. I started wearing a swimsuit and going swimming, which I always used to love when I was a kid. Now my attitude is:
‘Don’t like what you see look elsewhere else!’ N
o longer trying to change myself to fit society so trying to change society so it can fit me. Body positivity is not for fat people or skinny people it’s for everyone. Body positivity is the freedom that comes with being able to be happy with yourself. It gives you so much time to do other things, to travel, to think, to write, to make friends without having to worry about how you look all the time. Everyone could use a bit of body positivity in their life.”

“I was on a flight recently and I asked for a seat belt extender, I’m totally comfortable asking for – it doesn’t bother me. I was told I would have to pay for it. I said, ‘No thanks’, and they just ignored it, so I went without a seat belt from London to Morocco and back again. People think being fat is our fault. I struggled with not feeling desirable as a teenager. I thought I would never find a partner, that nobody would love me in the body I had. I look back at the time where I hated myself the most and I’m like – I was so cute. Why would anyone think these things? I do feel sensitive about desirability, through relationships and especially the way men have treated me as disposable. But I know that I’m hot. I know that I’m a worthy human being so it has nothing to do with my size. I know my body is some people’s greatest fear, to confront that is uncomfortable. To confront me being happy and living life and feeling healthy whatever that means threatens people’s desires to fit into beauty norm. I think it scares people you exist in the way you haven’t been told you can.”

“Sometimes being fat is awesome, and sometimes it’s difficult. Spaces aren’t designed for larger bodies. And public transport is a nightmare. You need two seats on an plane. But a big body has just as much right as a smaller body.I think as I’ve got older, I just care less. Or I care more about myself and less about what’s expected of me. Being fat feels rebellious. Being fat and loving yourself is something completely different. I used to hate it. I wouldn’t eat. I wanted my skin to be lighter, so when I was in primary school, cover myself in talcum powder. Now, of course, I realise there’s nothing wrong with me. It would help if there were fat dolls out there for kids. Dolls like Barbie, have an unattainable shape. For everyone – of any size, race, whatever it’s not manageable. As I’ve got older, I’ve grown into my body. That’s the best way to say it. It kind of grew on me. When I finally became happy with where I was, when I stopped always trying to improve, that made a big difference. My partner helped loads as well. People think that if you’re fat then you can’t be healthy. You can be really big, and not as healthy as you should be. But then you’re happy, so it’s about weighing up what’s more important. When I’m smaller, I’m a state. I’m a happy size, and a healthy size, for all of me. For my mental health and my physical health, which are almost the same thing.”

“When I was a kid, I didn’t feel happy in myself. I felt that I was ugly and my self-worth was really low bullied a lot. I developed and came out of myself a bit in my later teens. But it wasn’t until I found out about fat acceptance and fat positivity that I really came into my own. I was able to start looking at my self-worth as being more than whether or not I’m aesthetically pleasing to wider society. Now, some days I think I’m beautiful, other days I don’t. I have the knowledge that when things aren’t great, I can actually break it down and think OK Sharon, it’s not because you’re fat, it’s not because of you, it’s because of society’s impression of you.’ Because you’ve absorbed so many images from the media. There’s nothing wrong with you, it’s just the way that you’ve been made to feel. I’m a lot more in control of how I feel about myself. Fat activism is liberating fat people from social norms, and the discrimination and negativity that comes alongside that. We want society to accept us as human beings whose worth is not defined by weight, appearance or health. The biggest thing is to not make assumptions about why fat people are fat, or that they’re unhealthy. Just ask us. Ask us how we feel about our bodies. Be open-minded.”
