The Deception





The concept of this photo shoot was two-fold.  One is to bring awareness of the occult symbolisms used in main stream media.  "Do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but instead even expose them." Eph 5:11  A friend led me to www.vigilantcitizen.com and www.pseudooccultmedia.blogspot.com, for which I am thankful.  The second is to profane the kingdom of darkness & its princes by bringing to light the deception of Satan and the demonic fallen angels.  By checking out the above mentioned website, you can gain an understanding of these symbolisms, so I'm not going to repeat those symbolisms here because vigilant citizen and pseudo occult media are more versed about such matters.  Also, by simply googling "illuminati" you can educate yourself on their agendas and who's involved.  

As Christians it's important that we are aware of what is going on around us.  Do not turn a blind eye of what is obviously mainstream information.  It's no longer a conspiracy theory when the theory is a reality.  We are to be a watchman and to be careful how we live, not as unwise men and women, but as wise, making the most of our time because the days are evil.  We, knowing the beginning and the end, should be the one to discern the sign of the times, but so many times we are afraid to look around and it takes someone else outside of the faith to direct us and show us.  Awake, o' sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you!  Stop being apathetic to what is going on around us.  These are the Last Days and we must be about our Father's business!  We must turn away from living our lives to please ourselves and we must turn to our neighbor and share the good news of eternal life.  We must pray like never before, we must ask God to give us strength and power and zeal to live for Him.  We must ask for discernment to not get caught up in the deception around us.  For even though we are in this world, we are not of the world, as Jesus prays for us in John17, to keep us from the evil one.  Let God's Word sanctify us so that we may walk in unity of love in Christ Jesus and God the Father.    
   
 Meanwhile, here are the meanings behind these pictures.  The black tiles is in a pyramid shape, except I've broken the black tiles only and torn up the black side of the umbrella to show that darkness and light, good and evil are not equal in power.  The broken pyramid suggests that this foundation will not stand.  It is a false and flawed foundation that will not stand before the judgment of God.  The puppeteer who represents Satan is shown as a weak (little girl's body) sadistic psychopath (joker's characteristic).  People have free will and they are giving themselves over to someone not worthy of them nor has any good planned for them at all.  People have chosen him to gain the temporary riches of this world.  In fact, those that have chosen him live in fear constantly when faced with the demonic forces they have given their lives to.  It's very sad knowing that they will be eternally separated from the God who loves them and created them.  However, it is not too late to denounce the devil and receive salvation. Those in the Illuminati that are ushering the AntiChrist are blinded and deceived into taking the devil's side.  Prepare yourself and see how the AntiChrist will come into this world so that when he comes, you too will not be deceived.  Read Daniel 11

As Christians we believe God is good, in Him there is no darkness at all.  Lucifer is a created being and God is the Creator.  A created being does not have equal power with the Creator.  Lucifer wanted to be like God in his pride and rebelled against the Lord.  As a result, he was cast down from heaven along with a third of the angels from God's presence to dwell on earth until the appointed time (see the Book of Revelation - a must read!).  Ever since Lucifer's fall, it is his agenda to deceive humanity.  He masquerades as an angel of light to deceive humanity out of his hatred for God and the people God has created in His image.  Lucifer's agenda is to bring them to the same ultimate end he knows very well he is heading to: hell!  Make no mistake, light excels darkness.  

Some people have played around with spirit guides and sense spirits and see freaky demons and wonder why they are depressed, oppressed, etc...  They talk about good spirits and bad spirits, making a distinction between them.  They become confused when their so-called spirit guide is angry or brings them fear or harasses them.  The reason for this is the deception that the demonic forces bring to the unsuspecting.  There are no good spirit guides, they are demonic angels masquerading as angels of light.  Once you've received a spirit guide, you have actually received a demon to guide you.  Except that they aren't there to be your friends, they are there to steal your soul and to destroy you.  The only good Spirit out there is the Holy Spirit sent by God to help overcome the evil one and to make Himself known to us, that He loves us and has a plan of good for us, to give us a future and a hope.   




The white wings signify the beauty of God's creation.  When God created the world and the creatures, He said that it was good.  When God created man and woman, He said that it was very good.  There is nothing like humanity because the Bible says that we were created in God's image.  Even angels are there to serve us and to minister to us.  God has created us to have free will to choose Him or not.  Satan deceives people into choosing him and when they do, he oppresses them, takes them captives like prisoners, makes them feel like a nutcase, bipolar, dissociative and suicidal person until he's done using them, then he destroys them.  The Bible says that he is like a roaring lion prowling around seeking whom he may destroyed.  And, he has come to steal, kill and destroy.  Satan (meaning, adversary) is also known as the father of lies, he is evil, nothing good dwells in him.  The people will be surprised when they will see who they have allowed to deceive them and how easily they were deceived.  
Isaiah 13:15-17 says:
"Nevertheless, you will be thrust down to Sheol, to the recesses of the pit.  Those who see you will gaze at you, they will ponder over you, saying, 'Is this the man who made the earth tremble, who shook the kingdoms, who made the world like a wilderness and overthrew its cities, who did not allow his prisoners to go home?'"  




The dresser is shaped in a triangle signifying the pyramid.  What it contains are the dolls thrown in pieces inside the drawer which is  an example of how crappy and expendable they treat people. The lamp is empty of oil, signifying the unpreparedness of a lot of people for the Lord's return.  The sand timer signifies how time is running out.   The books title are significant in that they say:  "Father Knows Best"; "Unveiled At Last"; "Deliver Us From Evil" and "Restlesss Pilgrim".




The pink mask symbolizes how the devil will make himself very appealing, yet underneath, he is nothing but a dead demon walking.  You only need to read through the Book of Revelation to know what will his outcome be.




It is a case of hopelessness when we find ourselves under his influence.




Even the butterflies, God's creature, the devil has twisted for his evil purposes.  Satan is a counterfeit.  The metamorphosis to giving yourself over to darkness, will only lead to destruction, not beauty for who you were created in the first place.




Despair, sadness, hopelessness.






You can look into the www.vigilantcitizen.com and www.pseudooccultmedia.blogspot.com for the symbolism behind disney.






There is a cross over the "all seeing eye" in the mask because that's another lie.  Satan is not omniscient (all-knowing) or omnipresence (everywhere all at once).  In fact, he can only be in one place at one time, but he has been around for a long time, along with the rest of the demons, so he is very well studied on human behavior and how to influence humanity.   






The devastating end for those who continue to make the devil be their god is death.  The Bible talks about how each man is appointed to die once and after this comes the judgment (Hebrews 9:27).

So, now what?  I recommend you read the entirety of Isaiah 59, I will be just highlighting some of the verses.  "Behold, the Lord's hand is not so short that it cannot save; nor is His ear so dull that it cannot hear.  But your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God, and your sins have hidden His face from you so that He does not hear...Your lips have spoken falsehood, your tongue mutters wickedness...their feet run to evil...their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity, devastation and destruction are in their highways.  They do not know the way of peace...we hope for light, but behold, darkness, for brightness, but we walk in gloom.  We grope along the wall like blind men, we grope like those who have no eyes; we stumble at midday as in the twilight among those who are vigorous we are like dead men...Yes, truth is lacking; and he who turns aside from evil makes himself a prey. 

"Now the Lord saw, and it was displeasing in His sight that there was no justice.  And He saw that there was no man, and was astonished that there was no one to intercede; then His own arm brought salvation to Him, and His righteousness upheld Him.  He put on righteousness like a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation on His head; and He put on garments of vengeance for clothing and wrapped Himself with zeal as a mantle."



There is hope, because God sees and has the compassion that man is in need of a Savior.  Man is in need of a Savior from his own destructive consequences of sin, man is in need of a Savior from the injustice of the world, man is in need of a Savior from the forces of darkness that seeks to destroy man.  John 3:16-17 says, "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him will not perish, but have everlasting life.  For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him."  Above in Isaiah, we read that God saw no one to intercede, so He had to come Himself.  That's where Jesus comes in.  Jesus who was fully God and fully man came to be the Savior of the world.  The book of John, speaking of Jesus, John states, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  He was in the beginning with God.  All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being.  In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men.  The Light shines in the darkness and the darkness did not comprehend it.  ...There was the true Light which, coming into the world, enlightens every man.  He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him.  He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him.  But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.  And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth." 

Jesus was the Word of God who became flesh, lived a sinless life, and accomplish the will of the Father to bring salvation to mankind by taking on our sins and dying in our place on the cross.  "But God raised Him up again, putting an end to the agony of death, since it was impossible for Him to be held in its power." Jesus says in John 11:25 "I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die..."  Romans 5 says, "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."  So, what must we do then to be saved?  If you recognize that you are in need of a Savior, you must go before God and ask Him to reveal Himself to you.  Go in prayer and repent of your sins and acknowledge your need to Him.  Tell Him as you would speak to a Father who loves you of all you've been through, your hurt, your pain, your part in living for your own selfish need.  Pour out everything that is in your heart.  For those who have received a demonic spirit, a spirit guide or if you think there is a spirit oppressing you, repent of your part in that.  Then after you have emptied yourself of your sorrow, immediately ask the Lord Jesus Christ to come into your heart and fill you with His Love.  God is Love and He will fill you with love and peace and show you the joy of His salvation.  These are the fruit of His Holy Spirit.  Where the Light of Christ comes, the darkness flees.  Receive the free gift of salvation and when you do, you will live on in eternity in God's presence where we all belong as His children and He will give you power and strength through His Holy Spirit to live your life here on earth.  He has overcome the evil one and because His Spirit is alive in you, you too will overcome the evil one.  Greater is He (Jesus) in you than he (the devil) that is in the world.  

Acts 2:36-41
36 "Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ."
37 When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, "Brothers, what shall we do?"
38 Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
39 The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off--for all whom the Lord our God will call."
40 With many other words he warned them; and he pleaded with them, "Save yourselves from this corrupt generation."

Jesus in Isaiah 61 & Luke 4 says, "The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me because the Lord has anointed Me to bring good news to the afflicted; He has sent Me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and freedom to prisoners."  If this description fits you, come to Jesus, friend of sinners.  He has made Himself ready to reconcile you to God and bring you freedom.  For where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty for your souls.

i saw the LORD!

In the year of King Uzziah’s death I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, lofty and exalted, with the train of His robe filling the temple...
“Woe is me, for I am ruined!
Because I am a man of unclean lips, 
And I live among a people of unclean lips;
For my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts.”
Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a burning coal in his hand, which he had taken from the altar with tongs.
He touched my mouth with it and said, “Behold, this has touched your lips; and your iniquity is taken away and your sin is forgiven (atoned for).”
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?”
Then I said, “Here I am.  Send me!”
Isaiah 6:1-8
In the same way, we like Isaiah have had our sin forgiven or atoned for by Jesus.  Look at Isaiah beforehand, he saw the Lord and he thought he was going to die!  He saw who he was as compared to the Lord, one that is sinful, unworthy, unholy, unable to stand before a consuming fire, our pure and Holy God.  He saw where he was from, amongst people just like him, sinful, unholy, unworthy to stand in God’s presence without being consumed.  He brought nothing except his unworthiness to God’s presence and rightly said, “Woe is me, for I am ruined!”  Or, how I would say it, “wahh!”  It’s amazing he didn’t drop dead immediately!  It’s amazing he could even talk!
But God’s mercy and grace came in a form of a coal from the altar and touched Isaiah’s mouth, forgiving him his sin.  God granted him holiness and purity. 

“Who may ascend into the hill of the LORD? And who may stand in His holy place?  He who has clean hands and a pure heart.”  Psalm  24:3-4
Now, he is able to stand in the very presence of God, and the Lord spoke and still he wasn’t consumed.  All of a sudden he is a different man altogether!  He heard God asked who should He send, and Isaiah had the audacity to eagerly volunteer himself!  
Though he should have been consumed in the very presence of God, now He stood before God a confident man, but not just that, a new man now intimately acquainted with the Lord, and because of that intimacy and justification of holiness, he was able to eagerly and boldly volunteer to serve God in whatever He wanted done.  
We in the same way have had our sin atoned for.  We have fallen short of the glory of God, and He has saved us by taking our punishment for our sin by dying in our place on the cross.  We have been granted holiness to stand before the very presence of God without being consumed.  We have that privilege now to stand before a Holy God because of His love for us.  And more than that, He gave us the right to be called children of God.  
Notice Isaiah, in the very presence of God.  He stood blameless and eager to serve.  That’s what happens when we draw near to God, He draws near to us.  When our eyes are focus on Him, when we are constantly being filled by His Holy presence, we eagerly desire to do His will, no matter what it might be.  Notice how Isaiah is not even thinking about who he once was, because in his holiness he’s so full of joy.  Perhaps that’s why he is so eager to volunteer for the Lord.  “In His presence is fullness of joy and treasures forevermore.”    
If we want to experience the joy of the Lord, Jesus says to abide in Him in John 15.  He tells us these things so His joy may be in us and our joy may be made full.  When we abide in Christ, we see His holy character, and we not only desire to be like Him in His holiness, but He also enables us to be holy.  Because we are His children, He already calls us holy, “You shall be Holy, for I am Holy.”  1 Peter 1:16.  So therefore, He tells us in His word to be holy in all our behaviors.  “But like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves in all your behavior.” 1 Peter 1:15.
Isaiah had no idea what God wanted done, he only heard that God is planning to send someone to go for Him.  Isaiah didn’t know where, how and why.  He  only knew that to be in God’s presence is to experience purity and holiness.  To be in God’s presence is to desire to please and follow God.  He felt great confidence and boldness, able to do anything.  We are given the same gift, “I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.” And, “the joy of the Lord is my strength.”

not fair!

I went to the store one day
and there with my eyes I could see
Snickers, M&M’s & Lollipops too
Oh my, so many candies 
I didn’t know what to do
I looked to my mom & dad
did my best to look very sad
“Pleeaase, just one of these,” I said
“No!” they exclaimed instead
“An apple, banana or strawberry
will make mommy & daddy’s face look merry
so go & grab one of those fruit
drop that candy......now go on, scoot!”
Sometimes the unfairness of life shines...
Ugghh, how I hate those grocery lines!

War of the Flesh

Why do I act the way I do
Why do I go back to the same thoughts of you
What part of my heart needs the comfort that I seek
What part of my soul do I think you will feed
Let me tell you what I see
Perhaps you can see it too
Because I know you seek the same
And think the same of me as I you
The devil purposes testimonies
For me and for you
To be destructive in nature
When we do the things we ought not do
This void inside of you and me
Longs to be filled by what we see
But don’t believe in what our eyes
Have told our hearts it so desires
It’s nothing but lies you see
A cunning enticement by the enemy
If I were never around, sadly it would be
Someone else who would take the place of me
No need to hide away
From these longings deep within
They are real, as true as it can be
Only the answer
Is not found in you nor in me
So why do I drink you in
Like a thirsty dying man
Why does my heart spin a tale
When our eyes meet afar to dance
Our flesh wars mightily
Aided by the strength of our enemy
Still by God’s love we stand
Planted in His victorious hand
Then one day soon the war will end
Our souls will finally rest
And we will live on in eternity
Under the purity of God’s best

sin

Sin...
why do you come around again
why do you entice me
dancing so seductively
before me
luring me with your eyes
ravaging me with lust
pulling my fleshly passions
and desires from the past
tempting me with words
so easy to hear
persuading me with songs
to come and draw near
Sin...
how I hate you
I despise your cunning ways
your convincing powers
covets my heart to sway
how do you manage
to be so strong
alluring in your presence
as I fight against your throng
your seductive powers
are wise beyond me
torturing my nature
to draw it out free
how I love to give you
what my heart desires
to play zealously alongside
your growing fervent fires
Sin...
you afflict me unawares
as you spin your web of lies
you lead me to death
through my very own desires
how I hate you
I despise your cunning ways
your convincing powers
covets my heart to sway
even in victories
you crouch at the door
waiting to grab me
to show me once more
how lovely your way
how amazing, how true
if only I would give
my life over to you
Sin...
your lips are smooth and sweet
you know just what to say
filling me with longing
I long to be taken away
how I hate you
I despise your cunning ways
your convincing powers
covets my heart to sway
Sin...
I’ll be free of you yet
don’t stand there in pride
though you’ve got me today
I am on the winning side

set my eyes

Jesus, here I am again
To set my eyes on You
To let go of the things You want me to
I have taken pleasure
In the sin of my heart
Not wanting to let go
Though You’ve set me apart
Grant in me a willing spirit
To turn my eyes away
From that which captivates me
And leads my devotion astray
For in Your presence Lord
It’s plain for me to see
The sin which I found pleasure in
Is no longer enough for me
You wash me whiter than snow
And now it’s easy to do
As You fill my heart with love
To bow down and worship You
I set me eyes on You, Jesus
Letting go of the things You want me to
But one thing You’ll still  find in me, my Lord
Is I’m never letting go of You

prison cell

I can’t stand this
anger seething through
can’t stop it
must set it free
where do you come from
why do you imprison me
let me go
Life...
i don’t understand
how do i go on
why do i need to
what’s the purpose
of this and of that
one cell to the next
always on the move
you think freedom draws near
but it’s a mirage
it’s nothing but another prison cell
