I will die in 17 days?

[dreamintonight]

God bless your Grandma for never doubting that you'll believe. Its like she never gave up on the worth of your soul. I would recommend reading the gospel of John, if you haven't done so already. I especially love John chapter 14. Also, if your going to learn the basics of the faith, you may want to chit chat with your grandma, she seems like a fiery woman to chat with too. Your story reminds me of how loving God is. All we have to do is have child like faith in him. Its not a requirement its just a simple act of love. I have put two and two together and I believe as told through other people, that we're living in a time when there is a battle for souls. No wonder why we ought' to pray all the time. Prayer supercedes natural law too by the way. Duh, cause if things are set in motion but then the Creator comes and intervenes on Earth then you know nothing is impossible with God. Okay now I'm babbling again. Well we concerned Christians of all backgrounds are glad to hear that your heart is open to the faith. Keep it up, because these days, many people are having doubts of which I blame on Satan- because if everyone knew just how loving God actually is, then who would want to turn away love for all eternity?? I really do not know the full scope of God's love but I believe in it. I have absolutely NO sympathy for the devil by the way. Why? Because it is vain to have sympathy in evil, it'll take you down with it. Satan hates everyone who is created in God's image and is not with him or unknowingly is being used by him (I have been used in the past- long story), obviously we know he has a short time on earth, Thank God, however he is wreaking havoc, its so obvious to me. I know they hate me cause I love God and want to warns others. I've had quite a few demonic nightmares, and I'm not sure how to stop it before it happens. Once I was levitated back and forth and back and forth, then the wretched, ugly, hateful voice said "Your going to die Bitch!!" Now that was the scariest thing. I analyzed. First, this demon was messing with my psyche for my brain is very sensitive. Then, it is trying to create a personal fear in me, by 1) dying in a short time 2) calling me a bitch. Now bitch means this according to wikipedia: "Generally, this term is used to indicate that the person is acting outside the confines of their gender roles, such as when women are assertive or aggressive, or when men are passive or servile..." Now that makes sense as to why it called me a bitch, I am rather aggressive and assertive in nature. I still haven't figured out why I let them (don't know how I let them) or why they are allowed to bother me (feels like a thorn on my side) but I know it hates me cause I know the truth.. Looks like I have to read more passages that deal with spiritual warfare, Paul speaks of it. I hope I did not scare you. Your grandma is kicking *** in the loving sense of it.
God bless your heart to believe

Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast,
it is not proud. It is not rude,
it is not self seeking, it is not easily angered,
it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil
but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes
always perseveres.
Love never fails. But where there are
prophecies, they will cease; where there
are tongues, they will be stilled;
where there is knowledge, it will come to pass away.
For we know in part and we prophesy in part,
but when perfection comes,
the imperfect disappears.
When I was a child, I talked like a child,
I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child.
When I became a man, I put childish ways
behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection;
then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part;
then I shall know fully, even as I am full known.
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love.
But the greatest of these is love.
NIV... I CORINTHIANS 13: 4-13

I looked up the Lexicon of 17, in the dream your grandmother said you would die in 17 days. The lexicon for 17 refers to Proverbs 23:29. I read all of Proverbs 29 and it talks about death but not you necessarily you dying and it also touches on other areas of life. I do not know if everything in Proverbs 23applies to you now but I hope it helps you. It may seem like alot to read but I found a site that breaks each verse of Proverbs 23 down for you to understand and there are also some illustrations for clarification.
God is just waiting for you to come to Him. I strayed when I was younger and there are things that I have done in my life that I thought I could never be forgiven for, but when I allowed God to be my Saviour, He changed me, my life and He FORGAVE me. He healed me of Lupus, high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, tumor in my head, rheaumatoid arthritis, reynauds disease and delivered me from alcohol (without going to AA or rehab). I am so glad that Jesus Christ was about His Father's business and died on the cross for sin, sickess, disease and that His death was so that each of us could live life and live it more abundantly! You must decrease so God can increase in you!

Proverbs 23

:1-3 …Be not desirous of his dainties: for they are deceitful meat.
This is the 6th proverb
It’s possible for a king to get you hooked on his style of living and use that to manipulate you and cause you to do certain things to maintain that style of living.
:4-5 Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.
This is the 7th proverb
(Pr 23:4-5 NLT) Don’t weary yourself trying to get rich. Why waste your time? {5} For riches can disappear as though they had the wings of a bird!
:6-8 Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye
This is the 8th proverb
evil eye – this is literally what the Hebrew says. But what does it mean? NAS – “selfish man”, NIV – “stingy man”, NKJV – “a miser”, The Message – “a tightwad”
It’s very similar to the one in Pro. 23:1-3, but here it’s the “stingy” man you need to be careful of.
:7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he
This verse has been used to say that you need to be careful what you think about, because you become what you think about.
The idea has been that you need to think positively about yourself so you become a better person.
But the verse has a context. It’s talking about the man who is stingy.
He may say nice things to you and tell you to eat all of his expensive food, but inside he’s wishing you’d go away and leave him to his food.
:8 The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up
You’d wish you hadn’t eaten a thing.
The last three proverbs all have to do with warnings about what you wish for.
Lesson Be careful what you live for
**When Daniel was carried off to Babylon to serve in the court of King Nebuchadnezzar, he was careful about what he ate:
(Dan 1:8 KJV) But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.
We think that his concern might have had something to do with foods that had been sacrificed to idols, or perhaps they were foods not on the list of “clean” foods.

**We could apply these verses to the things that the world wants to put in front of us, things that Satan would want us to get hooked on, things that Satan might use to trap us:
Jesus said,
**(Luke 21:34-36 NLT) "Watch out! Don't let me find you living in careless ease and drunkenness, and filled with the worries of this life. Don't let that day catch you unaware, {35} as in a trap. For that day will come upon everyone living on the earth. {36} Keep a constant watch. And pray that, if possible, you may escape these horrors and stand before the Son of Man."

**Jesus met a fellow who had had tasted some of those kingly “dainties” …
(Mat 19:16-26 NLT) Someone came to Jesus with this question: "Teacher, what good things must I do to have eternal life?" {17} "Why ask me about what is good?" Jesus replied. "Only God is good. But to answer your question, you can receive eternal life if you keep the commandments." {18} "Which ones?" the man asked. And Jesus replied: "'Do not murder. Do not commit adultery. Do not steal. Do not testify falsely. {19} Honor your father and mother. Love your neighbor as yourself.'" {20} "I've obeyed all these commandments," the young man replied. "What else must I do?" {21} Jesus told him, "If you want to be perfect, go and sell all you have and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." {22} But when the young man heard this, he went sadly away because he had many possessions. {23} Then Jesus said to his disciples, "I tell you the truth, it is very hard for a rich person to get into the Kingdom of Heaven. {24} I say it again--it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God!" {25} The disciples were astounded. "Then who in the world can be saved?" they asked. {26} Jesus looked at them intently and said, "Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But with God everything is possible."
When you set your heart on the wrong things, your relationship with God is the thing that suffers.
:9 Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words.
This is the 9th proverb
Some people just won’t listen to reason.
:10-11 Remove not the old landmark
This is the 10th proverb
Removing the landmark means changing the geography of a place, changing the title deed to a piece of land. It would be a way of cheating your neighbor out of some of their land.
**(Prov 23:10-11 ICB) Don't move an old stone that shows where somebody's land is. And don't take fields that belong to orphans. {11} God, their defender, is strong. He will take their side against you.
:13-14 …Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell. hell – sh@’owl – sheol, underworld, grave, hell, pit; it could refer to hell or simply death.
This is the 11th proverb
A child isn’t going to die from being spanked. Even if they claim they’re going to die. The goal is discipline. The goal is to keep them from going down the wrong paths in life, paths that lead to hell or simply a stupid death.
:15-16 My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.
This is the 12th proverb
:17-18 Let not thine heart envy sinners
This is the 13th proverb
**(Prov 23:17-18 NIV) Do not let your heart envy sinners, but always be zealous for the fear of the LORD. {18} There is surely a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off.
It’s a dangerous road to start being envious of things that aren’t healthy for you. Don’t let your heart go there.
:19-21 Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thine heart in the way.
This is the 14th proverb
**(Pr 23:19-21 The Message) {19} Oh listen, dear child—become wise; point your life in the right direction. {20} Don’t drink too much wine and get drunk; don’t eat too much food and get fat. {21} Drunks and gluttons will end up on skid row, in a stupor and dressed in rags.
:22-23 Hearken unto thy father that begat thee…
This is the 15th proverb
Make wisdom a priority in life.
:24-25 The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice
This is the 16th proverb
Doing good things makes a parent proud.
:26-28 She also lieth in wait as for a prey
This is the 17th proverb
**(Prov 23:26-28 ICB) My son, pay attention to me. And watch closely what I do. {27} A prostitute is as dangerous as a deep pit. And an unfaithful wife is like a narrow well. {28} They ambush you like robbers. And they cause many men to be unfaithful to their wives.
I think that most men like to be tempted. If sin weren’t so much fun, we wouldn’t want to do it. But you need to see down the road where it’s leading you.
:29-35 Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? …
This is the 18th proverb
contentions – madown – strife, contention; NLT – “who is always fighting”
:30 They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine.
(Prov 23:30 NLT) It is the one who spends long hours in the taverns, trying out new drinks.
:31 Look not thou upon the wine when it is red
I think of how wine connoisseurs will look at a glass of wine, swirl it, sniff it, and sip it.
:33 Thine eyes shall behold strange women
(Prov 23:33 NLT) You will see hallucinations, and you will say crazy things.
:34 Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea
(Prov 23:34 NLT) You will stagger like a sailor tossed at sea, clinging to a swaying mast.
:35 …they have beaten me, and I felt it not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.
