Bible Verses

And it came to pass men begin to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them. That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair and they took them wives of all which they chose. (Genesis 6:1–2)

The interpretation of Genesis 6:1–4. The interpretation of Genesis 6:1–4 is difficult and controversial. The debate centers on the interpretation of the phrase sons of God. Who are they? The crucial question concerns whether the phrase refers to human beings or to spiritual beings (demons).

The Lord speaks of his people as jewels. (Malachi 17 KJV)

And he cried out with a mighty voice saying, Fallen. Is Babylon the great she has become a dwelling place of demon and a prison of every unclean spirit, and a prison of every unclean and hateful bird. (Revelation 18:2)

And another angel a second one followed, saying Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, she who has made all the nations drink of the wine of the passion of her immorality. (Revelation 14:8)

Revelation 18:24. After this, I saw another coming down from heaven having great authority, and then earth was made bright with His glory. He called out with a mighty voice, Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great. She has become a dwelling place for demons, a haunt for unclean bird, a haunt for every and detestable beast. For all nations have drunk the wine of the passion of her sexual immorality, and the kings of the earth have committed immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth have grown rich from the power of her luxurious living. Then I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her my people lest you take part in her sins lest you share in her plagues, for her sins are heaped high as heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.

Thus says the Lord God, This is Jerusalem I have set her in the center of nations with countries all around her. And she has rebelled against the nations and my statutes more than the countries all around her for they have rejected my rules and have not walked in my statues. (Ezekiel 5:5–6)

They were nations about which the Lord had told the Israelites You must not intermarry with them, because they will surely turn your hearts to their gods Nevertheless, Solomon held fast to them in love. (1 Kings 11:2)

Surely the Lord does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophet. (Amos 3:7)

Introduction

This book is introduced to the crack addict, alcoholic, heroin addict, prostitutes, and all those that are addict to sex. I invite you to read this book that is design by God to let you know He has not forgotten you even though you made bad choices but were stepping stones. There is no failure just lesson to learn.

In the book of Genesis, it speaks how sons of God looked at beautiful women, and they took the women of men and went to bed with them. These women bore children unto them. This was a sin. These angels were disobedient angels who left their position, which was there spiritual body. God cast them into dark places for judgment, and Satan who became the head over these angels got crafty and summit drugs, which is witchcraft, and cause you to break the law of God and Christ and steal your soul through the birthing of the women who bore children unto them.

I know God chains them in darkness and destroys that generation of those who became giants after these women who bore children unto them, but He did not destroy those angels. Using drugs, Satan took us to darkness with him. He carried our spirit into darkness, which he needed our body to perform his dirty works, stealing, lying, cheating, and so on. We would say we were bless when we trick someone out of their money with the craftiness of Satan. But the Word told us to try the spirit by the word of God and tried the word by the Spirit.

The book of Revelation 2:9 and Revelation 3:9 show how God is calling those to repent and come out of Satan's synagogue, and that is how it all happened. God had impregnated some of you with the same message He has given me to conceive and give birth. But some of you probably aborted the child, believing that it was not of God. We intend with these angels by using drugs and sinning, which we separated our self from God, but there was light in darkness because of God planned for Jesus Christ to break the curse of those who intend with these disobedient angels from us through His Son Jesus Christ, who is, in darkness, shining so we could see what God is showing us.

I know there were men who were very old, living in darkness with drugs for a long time, and that is how God's light showed me who they were. Jesus is waiting for all those who believe He is the Son of God, so these angels would be chained down forever and destroy once God get all His children out of the darkness.

I remember there was a time the court put me in a shelter for ninety days, and after
