It is written: “I [Jesus] am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” -John 8:12
"For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds; Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; -1 Corinthians 1:19
"'For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways.' declares the Lord. 'As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.'" -Isaiah 55:8, 9
(Also known as psychological warfare) There is a war ON for your mind!Strongholds in the mind are a reality.
A precious brother in the Lord from South Africa, Winston
Riddles (now deceased), shed some valuable insight on spiritual strongholds in
the mind: "A stronghold is a demonically induced pattern of thinking - an
entrenched (to establish firmly or solidly) pattern of thought, ideology,
value, or behavior that is contrary to the will of God."
The only way to renew your mind with the help of the Holy Spirit is to understand how change works. Born again When one idea or belief is displaced (not believed), it must be replaced with a new idea or belief! The Lord desires that people are conformed to His image of love- Each individual must choose to embrace by faith the Word of the Lord. In time it'll prove true!
“You know, it was a common Communist story that they promoted, telling people that [Christian] believers were crazy, misguided, and dangerous. It was the only way they could explain away the faith that kept people strong in the face of persecution."

"The great strength of the totalitarian state is that it forces those who fear it to imitate it." -Adolph Hitler Threat Duress Coercion
It is written: "Since the children have flesh and blood, he too [Jesus] shared in their humility so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death- that is the devil- and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death." -Hebrews 2:14
Plight of the
Dissidents, The Burlington
Free Press, Sunday, July 22, 1984:
”It was nearly two decades ago that critics say the Soviets started referring perfectly competent and healthy dissidents to psychiatric hospitals where they were diagnosed and treated as mentally ill. Such actions remove the troublesome dissidents from public view and cast doubt on the soundness of their passionate politics.”
Drugs. The liberal use of anti-psychiatric drugs is common. The drugs cause drowsiness, depression and even hallucinations. Most dissidents are diagnosed with a catch-all mental illness called "sluggish schizophrenia," developed by famous Soviet psychiatrist Dr. Andrei Snezhnevsky, the theory holds a person can be mentally ill even though his or her behavior is normal.
[Those protesting the treatment:] "We urge you to use your psychiatric expertise for healing, rather than for political purposes..."
Here's a verdict that ought to really make you scrutinize (examine minutely) a Judge's wisdom and application of law:
"Because of what appears to be a lawful command on the surface, many Citizens, because of respect of the law, are cunningly coerced into waiving their rights, due to ignorance." -U.S. v. Minker, 350 U.S. 179, 187
The following law definitions (Black's 6th Edition) have a direct and immediate application to our present times:
Black's Law Dictionary, 6th Edition
Artificial: As opposed to "natural", means created or produced by man. Created
by art, or by law; existing only by force of or in contemplation of law.
Humanly contrived. (Tom's example: State Legislation)
Artificial Persons: Persons created and devised by human laws (emphasis
added)
for the purposes of society and government, as distinguished from natural
persons (emphasis added). Corporations are examples of artificial persons.
Now it is absolutely necessary to keep in mind that God created natural persons ONLY! Take Ronald the clown- he is created by the imagination of man. Whether Ronald be in animated cartoon form, or in likeness to human form (a natural man wearing a suit that looks like Ronald), he, nevertheless, is a creation of man. It would be a lie to say that God created Ronald the clown, for he is not "natural". To make clear the point, no woman in the natural has ever given birth to a clothed clown... it just cannot happen! Apply the same logic to corporations, and governments (contracts, rules, and laws dictating obedience) created by mere men. It is from the natural man that these are created. Corporations and governments take many forms consisting of building structures, assets, and internal hierarchy (personnel with rank above another) to accomplish a common purpose. The truth in fact remains, however, that they too like Ronald, in whatever form, result in nothing more than the creation of men; that is, artificial persons. It would be a lie to say that God created corporations or any governmental hierarchy stemming from this example. (Do not confuse man's hierarchy within such manmade entities with the positions of leadership of God's Church and family structure, thank you. Jesus did not appoint presidents, nor did He create lawyers and their bar association, lobbyists etc..)
To convey an urgent message, Washington D. C. was incorporated May 3, 1802. It is an artificial person regardless of how many buildings, assets, or personnel it employs. This manmade Union is created for the purpose of $$ Capitalism $$ offering its employees certain benefits. (*Remember money is not natural to planet earth, it is a creation of men- see Money category on this website). This corporate union may make reference to Biblical teachings to pacify the religious or to get political power utilizing Jesus' principle teachings, but it does not presently reflect the Law of God or the hierarchy of God's Holy Church, nor does it pursue the righteousness of the Heavenly Kingdom. This corporate government is a graven image in defiance of God's Holy Word:
"You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments." -Exodus 20:4
This publication details some of the investigations and inquiries, major changes and reforms CCHR has helped to bring about. That psychiatry has become a "rotting ship" is solely because of its own crimes and inhumanity towards others. Now open to public scrutiny as a result of CCHR's work, it is no longer tolerated by men and women of integrity and goodwill.
This "weeding out" system is chillingly reminiscent of that used by Nazis who plucked Jews, gypsies and other ethnic groups, including both children and the aged, labeled them as mental misfits and then disposed of them in a holocaust unparalleled for its inhumanity. That is was Nazi psychiatrists who provided the "scientific" justification for this mass destruction is a less well known fact.
Psychiatric drugging of school children was of principle concern to CCHR when in 1986 it discovered that more than 1 million children in the United States alone had been prescribed a highly addictive amphetamine-type drug, Ritalin, for a spurious condition called "Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder" (ADHD). Normally a stimulant, the drug acts as a tranquilizer in children with frightening results: insomnia, anorexia, stunted growth, sleeplessness, headaches, addiction and psychotic reactions. The withdrawal symptoms of the drug include severe and prolonged depression which can cause a child to commit suicide.
Under the so-called diagnostic criteria published by the APA, any normal child can be labeled as having ADHD. This criteria for this bogus childhood "illness" consists of fourteen points, including "has difficulty playing quietly," "often talks excessively," and "often loses things".
The labeling and drugging of children by psychiatrists is nothing less than the genocide of our future generation.

Never have
incidents of injustice been more evident than in the mental health field,
where laws have empowered psychiatrists to seize people and, without trial,
not only deprive them of their liberty, but commit heinous acts upon them.
Committed by anyone else in society, these acts would result in charges of
false imprisonment, assault, manslaughter, murder and rape.
Psychiatrists claim the title of "medical
practitioner," in order to give their pronouncements legitimacy. But
this is a misnomer similar to a Nazi Gestapo officer claiming to be a rabbi.
While they are required to attain a medical degree as a prerequisite to
entering the specialty of psychiatry, they have, in fact, bitterly betrayed
that honorable heritage and the ancient yet still valid Hippocratic oath to
"do no harm".
The lives of millions of men, women and children who
may have otherwise fallen into psychiatry's hands have been saved by CCHR's
efforts and achievements. Thousands of victims have been rescued.

Supreme Court of the United States Girouard v. US, April 22, 1946
"The victory for freedom of thought recorded in our Bill of Rights recognizes that in the domain of conscience there is a moral power higher than the State. Throughout the ages, men have suffered death rather than subordinate their allegiance to God to the authority of the State. Freedom of religion guaranteed by the First Amendment is the product of that struggle."
Religion- Man's relation to Divinity, to reverence, worship, obedience, and submission to mandates and precepts of supernatural or superior beings. ...imposing rules of conduct, with future rewards and punishments.
Deprogramming- as the term has become known, is the process whereby individuals
who are members of certain religious groups are subjected to a scheme of brain -washing or mind control in an attempt to dissuade them of their religious beliefs. Baer v. Baer, D.C.Cal., 450 F.Supp. 481, 485 (Important note: Evil people are looking for weak minds- those who do not embrace the truth and power and love of Christ Jesus!)
Conflict of personal laws- Term used to describe conflicts within a particular state arising from application of general law to racial and religious groups which have their own laws, e.g. tribal laws of the Indians. (For emphasis: Christianity is specific aggregate [sum of the parts] law governing ALL aspects of life. Learn from Jesus!)
"The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul. The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple. The precepts of the Lord are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the Lord are radiant , giving light to the eyes. The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever. The ordinances of the Lord are all together righteous. They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb. By them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward." -Psalm 19:7-11
Still under Construction below here:
IF you can honestly admit to yourself that:
1). you do not know the true meaning and purpose of life (and surely it's not
to promote war, hate, greed, slavery, misery, etc.), or
2). you do not know in whom to believe in (source for who really has the right
and TRUE answers concerning everything in life!), or
3). you do not know much about in whom you do believe and question why certain
rules and conduct are being required of you,
Then hear this: above ALL earthly men (good, evil, or indifferent), Jesus
Christ is truly who He says He is, and that Jesus is "The way and the Truth and
the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." [John 14:6] (also see
Christ Jesus category on this website). Lying to yourself in answering the
three possibilities above will get you nowhere but lost or confused further
than you are already; that is, you're stuck where you are by your own limited
human efforts and understandings.
I sincerely pray this very moment for you to go to the maker of the universe because He is PURE UNFAILING LOVE and desires to enlighten/educate you on life!!! Wherever you are, God who is Spirit, is standing ready at the door to your heart and soul (these are where the physical realm and the spiritual realm come together in agreement)!!! Nevertheless, even if you have heard of Jesus, there is no way He can enter your life until you open the door. This door has a door knob on one side only. Your side, which ONLY you control whether or not He enters in. Like a real gentleman, Jesus patiently stands there and waits to take up residency in your life never to leave you or forsake you! IF you have never heard of Jesus Christ or have never invited Him into your life as personal Lord and Savior, you ARE presently held captive by the imaginations of mere men! Men of evil minds who desire to keep you from knowing the True Jesus thereby causing you to be under their control to do with you as they please. My ministry is fulfilling what is written: "Having nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose[ing] them (Ephesians 5:11), and "Speak[ing] up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute." (Proverbs 31:8).
These Scriptures are critical knowledge in understanding spiritual warfare because nothing is new under the sun; meaning, men still use the same tricks of deception from generation to generation to usurp individual rights and beliefs. If you do not truly know what you believe, you are likely to fall as victim to evil doers!
"I have long been convinced that our Enemies have made it an Object to eradicate from the minds of the People in general a Sense of true Religion and Virtue." - Samuel Adams
It is written in Holy Scriptures: "my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge... Hosea 4:6. So get knowledge so that "Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming." Ephesians 4:14
(Warning: Not all law is
applicable to your situation! Learning about Sovereignty and jurisdiction is
well worth discovery.)
A Jurisdictional Plea will determine whether a Judge is judging for God Almighty
or is judging according to rules devised by men! When men blaspheme God
(See God's Word Category on this website), it is certain that corruption
exists!
Spiritual Strongholds (Truth versus Lies)
Greetings. Secular people and psychologists (mere men apart from God's/Jesus' truth) have a lot of different ideas about what people should think and what
constitutes "right thinking" and "right behavior", accordingly. Because the
mind of man is very powerful to create and manifest (readily
perceived; evident) any thing imaginable, it is absolutely necessary to grasp
the difference between truth and lies. Truth is indisputable
fact concerning Christ Jesus as the witness of the Character of God. Lies, on the
other hand, are false statements that men create purposed to deceive.
(Note: Without a person choosing a fixed or
established foundation in philosophy or religion, it is impossible to arrive at
anything more than one's own opinion at best, or futility (incapable of
producing a useful result) at worst. Any issue can be rationalized and debated
without end otherwise!) I speak from the truth and rationale of the Christian
God, Jesus Christ. The scope of the following discussion in regards to truth and
lies will pertain to people, government, and interactive relationships between
the two.
This is a loving,
but serious rebuke to America as a whole. Awake in Jesus name.
It should well be noted for the record that the late Pope John Paul II stated his "condemnation of Western materialism as a 'Culture of Death'". - source: The Week (magazine), April 15, 2005
The Native Indian culture that preexisted this present American culture , for perspective, could never have evolved into such a juggernaut (overpowering destructive force) because it chose/choose (they still are alive) a belief system which understood the natural order of the divine idea.
It is written, "There is no respect of persons with God." -Romans 2:11
Commentary on this verse meaning: you can give yourself powers, duties, and titles of position that exalt yourself above other people (sin of pride), even denying the existence of God as if you were god or a god; however, to God Almighty, you are still one created person who is accountable to Him! The word demigod is defined: a lesser or minor god: a deified mortal. Mere created men are NEVER god, and those who end up in powers of influence are easily tempted to fall into this deadly sin of thinking of oneself as demigod. To understand the TRUE relationship between God and man, know that He is Father and you are a child of His. Consider what is written: "But who are you, O man, to talk back to God? 'Shall what is formed say to him who formed it', ' why did you make me like this? Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for noble purposes and some for common use?" Romans 9:20, 21.For those who are aware of the G-8 (Global world leaders-supranational power of international coalitions of nations and multinational organizations), the sum total of them DO NOT SURPASS THE DEITY OF CHRIST JESUS!
"So kill (deaden, deprive of power) the evil desire lurking in your members- those animal impulses and all that is earthly in you that is employed in sin: sexual vice, impurity, sensual appetites, unholy desires, and greed and covetousness, for that is idolatry [the deifying of self and other created things instead of God]. It is on account of these [very sins] that the [holy] anger of God is ever coming upon (those who are obstinately opposed to the divine will) the sons of disobedience, ... -Colossians 3:5,6 Amplified Bible
This is why it is written: "Cease to trust in [weak, frail and dying] man, whose breath is in his nostrils [for so short a time]; in what sense can he be counted as having intrinsic worth?" Isaiah 2:22 Amplified Bible
Regardless who you are in societal position (rich or poor), this verse is for you: "If anyone says, 'I love God,' yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother who he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen." -1 John 4:20
For this reason it is imperative to believe on the name of Christ Jesus and His Holy Word: "Sanctify them through thy truth, thy word is truth." -John 17:17 It should be comforting to know that "God has not given us a spirit of fear, but power, and of love, and a sound mind." -2 Timothy 1:7. Jesus makes clear that "My [His] commandment is this: love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. You are my (Jesus') friends if you do what I command." - John 15:12-14
My explanation of strongholds is that they are lies, big or small, that rob any persons from daily function in experiencing a purposeful relationship with God and fellow human beings...Lies= (law:) falsehoods uttered for the purpose of deception = strongholds = blasphemy (law: willful and malicious attempt to lesson men's reverence of God by denying his existence, or His attributes as an intelligent creator, governor, and judge of men, and to prevent their having confidence in Him as such). Lies have a very similar effect in one's mind as does alcohol or drugs; that is, they cause confusion and poor judgment. Consider what is written:
"The scoundrel's methods are wicked, he makes up evil schemes to destroy the poor with lies, even when the plea of the needy is just." -Isaiah 32:7
As an educator of world peace, I pray in Jesus name for divine protection
over each living soul, over every nation, and over every community in order
that all may enter the eternal Heavenly Kingdom established from the
beginning of time. Forgive, Lord, us all for our many sins, whether
singly or corporately, that have been cause for others to stumble and cause
to miss the mark of your TRUE abundant life. AMEN. Thomas
Millington, Ambassador II Cor.5:20, Ambassador to Jerusalem
"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written: ' for your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep for slaughter.' No, in all these things we are more than conquerors...neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." -Romans 8:37-39
You are both a physical person and a spirit person. If you are like many, you feed your physical body 2-3 times daily; however, what do you feed your soul and mind daily to keep it alive and healthy? TV programming? Headline News? Mind altering drugs? Nothing? God plans a beautiful life for you, but it can only come if you feed your soul and mind with TRUTH found in the Holy Scriptures. Receive life anew! Get new purpose for life. Get God's healing and blessings for you. Jesus' shed blood at Calvary on the Cross made it all possible for you even today! It is written:
"God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope offered to us may greatly be encouraged. We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure." -Hebrews 6:18, 19
"Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever." -Hebrews 13:8
The Holy Bible is God's operators manual and blueprint (detailed plan of action) to abundant living. Loving every person on earth is His eternal plan. The best news is that this inheritance is NOT FOR SALE, nor can it be concealed or stopped by evil men. It can, however, be freely received as a gift! May God truly bless! Praying for you! T O M
