I flew out to Burbank, California and participated in a new movie called “Angels and Demons - Are We Along?”. I left Detroit the morning after a major March snowstorm. The flight was an hour delayed due to de-icing the planes. Once we were in the air it was probably the best flight I ever had. I had a window seat and watched below the snow covered earth turn from snow to green fields, to all colors of gold and orange crossing over the desert and mountains. I wondered for a moment if there were aliens flying over would even know this planet was inhabited. At 37,000 feet you hardly see cities, imagine if you were much higher looking down.
The plane landed in Dallas and almost everyone got off except for a handful of us. The plane refueled and continued on to California. As the plane once again took off... my thoughts then went back to the interview topics I would be discussing the next day in the movie.
After I landed at the Burbank airport, I took a shuttle bus to the hotel. It was warm outside, flowers everyway and beautiful. I got to my room, turned a view channels on the television, walked over to the window and marveled at the scenery. It is 2:00 in the afternoon; I called my husband, and the producer to let them know I arrived safely. I went outside and saw two cab drivers talking and I went up to one and said I want to see the tourist sites. The cab driver was not sure what I was asking and I repeated my request. I said drive me around the city to see things people come here to see for under a hundred dollars. So off we went. Two hours later the cab driver brings me back to my hotel.
I spent the rest of the evening going over a question and answer session about angels and demons in my head in preparation for my interview I would have the next day. Some time around 7:30 that evening I fell asleep because my mental time clock was still on Detroit time.
The next day I get a phone call telling me Leah would be picking me up at 9:15 to drive me over to the studio. As soon as we arrived at the studio I got very nervous. My nerves settled down a bit once I was in the make up chair. Natalie, the make up artist... who was doing my make up and hair filled me in about her life as a make up artist and some of the television stars she did make up for.
The time has come when I went over to the designated chair for my interview in front of the lights and camera. I was fine until the producer asked me the first question. The sweat started beading up above my upper lip. The make up artist between each question came over and dabbed my face with fresh makeup and wipe the sweat from my face.
The first question was about demons and I don’t remember my answer or any answer after that to any of his questions. I remember however telling him the story about my “angel of death” incident when I was 21, everything before and after that is a blur. After the interview was done, I felt an overwhelming amount of pressure leave my body. At that point I felt, now, I was ready to do a good interview. I wish I could of done it all over again. I really don’t think there is a way to prepare for the first time to do something like this other than doing it.
In the near future you can purchase the new movie on DVD at:

Is All Mankind Filled With Demons?
IS MANKIND FILLED WITH DEMONS?
I believe we find the appearance of demons more prominent in the New Testament writings because the “Gospel” is being presented to mankind for their salvation. In the Old Testament writings we have irruptions of evil angels that took place during the time of Noah, and Lot. In the Old Testament writing the demons are more so in association to the gods that were being worshipped. Images of gold, silver, wood and stone were representation of existing persons or beings to worship. Mankind continued to worship idols rather than the living God. Civilizations were enslaved by their idols. Many civilizations had gods or goddesses of war, love, the moon, the sun, the wind, and rain just to name a few. All these idols came forth from a birth and were exempt from death. Sacrifice was given more so to the evil ones to soften the blows of evil and destruction at hand.
During the time of Jesus the events of demons were not a figurative language but rather real events in time. The Scripture speaks to us about the temptations, afflictions, and condescension and attacks on the nature of mankind. If the fallen angels have no recourse to return to their first estate, there is no reason they would stop their evil course of actions warring against God in full fury to gather as many people to remain with them in that fallen state as themselves. They have nothing to lose by being evil. We are told we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, in Ephesians chapter six verse 12.
[12] For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
We know of their existence and their presence by the fruit that each human being brings forth from the trunk of their tree. I believe after the fall of man, God clothed Adam and Eve so that they would not be a vehicle where demons could dwell. However, we can see in Scripture that demons do and can dwell in man. The human body in it’s fallen state can house demons and not only one but many and as many as a legion.
We give evil beings permission to work and to use us to stir up their mischief and commit their evil actions to harm others. We steer our ships into stormy seas by night and wonder why they are ship wrecked by morning. We allow evil in the universe one person at a time.
We may be at a loss to explain it perfectly, but our fruit is not hidden. The Light reveals it all to clearly. The work of evil angels simply put is a process of degradation to that of the condition of the “evil one”. Look at what Jesus says found in the book of John chapter 8 verse 44.
[44] Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
This is a very strong statement. I do believe however he was talking to the evil spirits that were present in the people at the time when he said “ye are of your father the devil”. Of course the people hearing this were quite offended. Many of them were going through the motion of doing what is good and attending gatherings at Temple at set times according to that belief system. In the Bible 646 times the word wicked is used to describe many generations from Genesis to the book of Revelation. It was a terror to the demons to have someone able to address them individually and reveal their presence.
The Lord said to Cain “why is your countenance fallen?” If your countenance is lifted there is a sense of peace about you. In the case of Cain the Lord detected an underlying anger and resentment in his heart, an unhealthy desire. The Lord explains to Cain his choices of doing well, or not doing well. He continues to tell him if he does not do well, he will become one with iniquity, he will open himself up to receive it. The key to opening our self up to receive these evil beings is evil intention. One draws the other like two becoming one at a wedding. Sin and the sinner is an act of intercourse. In the story of Cain the fruit that was produced from this manner was murder. The earth received the blood of Abel and that became his prosperity.
Evil angels being in a wretched state, they are in are refrained from their full power, but indeed still do have the power to raise havoc. These evil beings do have a “prince” with great powers who drew the multitude of them to him. He exercises his authority over them and they are agents of mischief worldwide. In reality, the demons are more numerous than mankind who watch who they can devour and seduce men to complete ruin. People if not falling to the persuasion of evil spirits are falling to men who have fallen under the persuasion of evil spirits. Evil begets evil.
By explaining the existence of evil, we can avoid it. There is power in knowledge toward good.
By allowing evil spirits to live within us, these evil beings who hate God, we share in the great ruin and final forewarned sentence. There is no secret at what that is. Mathew chapter 25 verse 41 and verse 46.
[41] Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
[46] And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
Let us remember what David said in Psalms chapter seven verse 11.
[11] God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.
The good news is we have the power to resist. There is a terrible doom that is prepared for Satan and his evil angels.
So the question is—is all mankind filled with demons?

Wishes Do Come True
I know of a little girl that told me once... "my wishes never come true". Where are all the fairy godmothers... or guardians... for our children? Wishes do come true!
If a name begins with God: i.e. godmother, godfather, godchild... doesn't that express to you one filled with love and freely gives from the heart!
The fairy godmother is... a good and faithful friend! ... an angel in disguise? ... one who is filled with loving-kindness... one who comes in a time of need... and one who brings joy.
Webster’s dictionary says the definition of a "Friend" is "a person attached to another by affection, regard, or esteem, an ally."
The Bible, says, a friend is someone to speak intimately with (Exodus 33:11), someone to be kind to and receive kindness from (Job 6:14), someone who can be closer to us than our family (Proverbs 18:24), someone to share our sorrow and troubles, to comfort us and mourn with us (Job 2:11), someone to rejoice with (Luke 15:6), someone who loves at all times (Proverbs 17:17).

Pomegranate the Fruit for Health
Psalm 132 proclaims: "Your priests will wear righteousness and your kind ones will sing with joy." This recalls the pomegranate, which decorated the hems of the priestly robes in ancient times. The pomegranate is the teacher of the indwelling of God. The fruit itself is an abundant globe full of bright red seeds, like a world full of life. In this psalm, God announces a desire to dwell among human beings, nurture the hungry and care for the needy, establish a just government, and "clothe its priests in deliverance." These are all ways of acknowledging the Shekhinah. The pomegranate reminds us that we are always filled with seeds of light, and that our lives can be God's resting-place.
Other cultures have also embraced the heavily seeded fruit as well. The fruit being full of seeds readily lends itself to be a symbol of fertility, bounty, and eternal life. Ancient Egyptians were buried with pomegranates in the hope of rebirth. The Hittite god of agriculture is said to have blessed followers with grapes, wheat, and pomegranates. At Chinese weddings, sugared pomegranate seeds were served to guests and pomegranates were thrown on the floor of the wedding chamber to ensure a fruitful union. Pomegranates arrived in California in the 1769 with Spanish missionaries.
Pomegranates were offered as the fruit of paradise in the Quran. In ancient Rome, the rinds of pomegranates were tanned and used like leather.
Pomegranates became known as the royal fruit because the triangular sections folded back at the tip to look like a crown. Homer, Chaucer and Shakespeare wrote of the virtues of this fruit.
The Pomegranate fruit tree goes back to the Garden of Eden... that and the Fig tree. The Fig tree is the Tree of Knowledge in the Old Testament... Adam and Eve became one with what they embraced (ate), therefore being in essence the fruit of the fig... God dressed them with fig leaves. This is looking at the Garden of Eden and the garden and the tree is literal, not the symbolism of it, not the spiritual aspect of it.
Note on figs: "The remains of parthenocarpic fig syconia (edible figs) have been discovered in archeological sites of the Jordon Valley that date back to 11,400 years bp. The carbonized syconia are clearly parthenocarpic because the drupelets are without embryos or seeds. Wild populations of Ficus carica are gynodioecious with male trees (caprifigs) and female trees. Edible figs are produced on female trees only if they are pollinated by fig wasps (Blastophaga psenes) from the syconia of male trees. The male syconia contain wasps and pollen, and are generally not eaten. They were named "caprifigs" because they were commonly fed to goats." (Krislev, M.E., Hartmann, A. and O. Bar-Yosef. 2006. "Early Domesticated Fig in the Jordan Valley." Science 312 (5778): 1273-1275. 2 June 2006)
Medical Research: It's believe that pomegranate has anitoxidant, anti-viral, anti-cancer and anti-tumor properties. Also, that it helps maintaining healthy cholesterol and tryglyceride levels, etc. Recently, pomegranates have emerged as a super food, full of fiber, potassium, vitamin C, niacin and cancer-fighting properties. Recent studies suggest that the juice offers three times more antioxidants than green tea or red wine.
The benefits of pomegranate include reversing atherosclerosis, a disorder that often occurs in hypothyroidism, reducing joint degeneration and inflammation in osteoarthritis, promoting liver health, and protecting the cardiovascular system from diabetes-induced damage. In addition, pomegranate is currently being studied for its ability to alleviate the pain and discomfort of arthritis and support optimal brain, dental, skin, and liver health.
If you do not have the benefit going to the store to purchase the pomegranate fruit..., then go online and purchase Pom Pomegranate juice. Some of your local grocery stores do carry this as well. It taste good and it is good for you!

Angel Visions and Dreams
Would you like to share your angel visions and dreams? This is one of my angel visions:
In 1993, I heard a sermon in church about angels. That night in a vision, I was standing before the throne of God, facing in the direction of the earth. There were angels that would come right out of the darkness into the light coming from another dimension of time. There were voices coming from the throne.
Below the throne was like a platform of darkness where the angels stood. There were angels all in rows. It looked like a stadium of angels. There were several rows of angels wearing the same color garment, as though they belonged to a certain Order. You could see them as far as the eye could see. These angels were dressed in illuminating colors.
The angels nearest to the throne were angels wearing garments of war. They stood and did not move or talk. They appeared in a position of being on guard. These angels were very tall. I am only 5 feet tall and these angels were twice as tall if not taller looking like ancient warriors.
Standing beyond the warring angels were rows and rows of angels in robes of a specific color. Below them were angels in robes that looked like white light. They were also standing in rows and this Order would descend toward the earth one row at a time. From where I stood, they looked like falling stars. The rows of angels that left before them looked like a meteor shower. When I woke up, I called what I saw "A Gathering of Prayers".

Do you believe in angels?
God made His angels spirits, and made them mighty in strength PSALM 103:20. He adorned them with the supernatural gift of his Divine grace and heavenly beauty. They were created to be in God's presence MATTHEW 18:10 assisting at His throne for "thousands of thousands ministered to Him, and ten thousand times a hundred thousand stood before him," DANIEL 7:10 and executing His orders throughout the rest of the creation PSALM 103:20.
