Authors Statement The purpose of my writings is to save lives. I want to generate dialogue all around the country from people reading my books, men and women alike. I want women all over the world to change their behavior. It is extremely important that men and women know God so they can teach the love of God and the love of their fellow man to their children, the two greatest commands of God. Loving and taking care of your fellow man will change this country. When the Thanksgiving and Christmas season is upon us do you not see an outpouring of love and generosity? My long term goals are to stop men from cashing in their wives, to stop women from being murdered while on vacation; reduce the rate of adultery and fornication in this country, increase the amount of money spent on crime prevention, bring to zero the number of rape kits not processed, increase the criminal investigation of Jane Does buried in this country; reduce the number of women being sold in this country; reduce the number of motherless children occupying our nations foster care homes; reduce the number of women and children murdered during visitation; reduce the number of men

murdered by irate husbands and ex husbands, reduce the number of children murdered for revenge against the mother, reduce the number of non related males living in homes with children, and most of all, reduce the number of women and children forced into prostitution in this country. These are all topics covered in my books. My handling of these subjects I believe is unique and will cause men and women to examine their own behavior as it relates to violence in the home and in violence the community. Ask yourself this question: if nine out of ten women are murdered by men, and nearly a 100% of our nations population is raised by women where does the desire or need to murder women originate? In order to go from a violent society to a non violent society, change must take place in the hearts and minds of people. In order for change to take place people need information and they must see a need to change. I wrote books to provide this information. All my books are all non fiction. The books are only sold on the Internet as fundraisers for charities, during meetings, and conferences or during the Womens Art Exhibit. Much of the money earned from sales is used to elevate women from poverty or to protect women and children. I thank

you for purchasing and reading my book. It is my sincere wish that you read the material with an open mind and put many of the verses provide from the Bible into your mouth so that the spoken word can come forth as a creative force when you need it. God Bless. To find more books by this author visit http://www.touchedbythelight.info

The Battle For Your Life Will Be Determined By What Your Enemy Knows and What You Do Not Know Psalms 138:7-8 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life; you stretch out your hand against the anger of my foes, with your right hand you save me. 8 The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me; your love, O LORD, endures forever do not abandon the works of your hands. There is a beginning and ending to your existence and there is purpose to your life. The world makes you believe that you are insignificant, that your life is of no consequence. You are told because your picture is not in the paper, you cannot play basketball and you have never won a beauty contest. But there is a reason for your

existence and there is a purpose to your life. You may not see your purpose because you are being blinded to your purpose by the enemy of God. Gods enemy d oes not want you to know that your purpose in life can be found in what you do best. Whether or not you get an opportunity to live out your life as God designed depends on how well you get to know God and how well you get to know His adversary. You must know the characteristics of God and the Devil. Gods original purpose was for man to attend to the development and growth of the Garden of Eden. Psalm 115:16 The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lords but the earth He has given to the children of men. God created a mate for man to help with this purpose. This purpose was forestalled by the Devil. The Devil was infuriated with his status in the universe. The Devil wanted control of heaven and hell. He wanted more power; therefore he decided to interfere with Gods purpose for man and to attack the gospel of Jesus Christ. To accomplish this goal the Devil knows he has to destroy man and bring God to heel. He wants to defeat God. He successfully interfered with the purpose of God when he got Adam and Eve to eat the apple causing them to disobey God. Since this ploy was successful the Devil uses deceit over and over again to get man to disobey God. In

order to win the Devil has made us his instruments. The Devil knows the only way to defeat God is to destroy Gods purpose for us. Every time we disobey God our disobedience brings us closer and closer to the Devil. The Devil is effective because the Devil knows God better than man knows God. Whenever we fail to understand Gods purpose for our life we demonstrate we do not understand God. The key to understanding God can be found in the book of Hebrews. The way to please God is through faith and obedience . Genesis 22:15 The angel of the LORD called to Abraham from heaven a second time 16 and said, I swear by myself, declares the LORD, that because you have done this I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed me." Abrahams faith made God swear by himself. Is that not a great thing for a man to get God to do? Abrahams behavior made God swear by himself. What can you get God to do by your faith? The Devil knows in order to win he must destroy our faith and control our minds to get us to do what he wants us to do at any given time, which is to lose confidence and

to disobey God. John 10:10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. If the Devil can keep you doubting yourself, and hating yourself, he can keep you from fulfilling your dream and Gods purpose. If you are constantly complaining and hating your wife for keeping you from fulfilling your dream, the Devil is succeeding in your life. When you do not take time to teach your children about God the Devil is succeeding in your life. The Devil knows man was created to be a creator in the likeness of God. Man was placed in the garden to create beauty, not tragedy. Genesis 1:26, 28 Then God said, Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likenessthen God blessed them, and God said to them, Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth. How can man do these things when he is embroiled in controversy through uncontrolled emotions of jealousy and envy? Anytime the Devil can turn mans efforts into a tragedy, desolation, or pestilence the Devil is successfully hurting God. The Devil

wants man to be a disappointment to God. The Devil knows it grieves God to see man in pain. The Devil wants you to forget the words of Psalms 115:12 The Lord has been mindful of us; He will bless us; He will bless the house of Israel; He will bless the house of Aaron. The Devil is elated when we forget this passage and feel sorry for ourselves. The Devil uses two tools to undermine man to cause man to doubt and to lose his countenance. He uses fear and he uses suggestions. Making suggestions to a mans mind is a great tool. The Devil has caused men to commit suicide based on suggestions. He makes men doubt the love of their wives based on suggestions. He makes men commit adultery based on suggestions and he also makes men leave home based on suggestions. Satan wrecks or destroys millions of lives every year through the use of suggestions. Suggestions are the bedrock of his attack. The suggestion causes doubt, and perverts the promises of God. The Devil wants men to take a second thought, to doubt their identity, and to doubt Gods commitment to man. The Devil also wants man to doubt Gods promises. The Devil kno ws man is Gods glory. This is why God fought for man. This is why He sacrificed His son for man.

God could have destroyed man and man would have been no more. Have you not notice that the Philistines are no more? The Devil does not want us to remember God repopulated the earth. He wants us to focus on our current state of emergency, fearing the worst. The Devil does not want you to prophesize good fortune into your life. He wants you to let fear take hold. He wants fear to fester in your mind every day; where the fear becomes so great that it takes over your very existence. Fear is defined as a state of anxiety or dread, uneasiness or concern, an unpleasant feeling of perceived risk or danger, whether real or imagined. Fear is one of the basic emotions. Fear can be learned (fear conditioning). Associated with fear are specific physiological responses through the sympathetic nervous system where epinephrine and norepinephrine are released. These visceral responses are measurable and can cause an increase in heart rate, breathing, constricted blood vessels, and the tightening of muscles. A continued state of fear can lead to obesity, drinking, smoking, and selfmedication. Fear is a state of being that causes harm to the body and can destroy man. Fear has degrees - terror, fright, paranoia, horror, dread, persecution. Caution

is considered a mild stage of fear. Fear is dangerous when the emotion causes an organism to take flight rather than stand and fight. Just as faith is a gift from God, fear is a gift
