“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be save.” (John 3: 16-17, King James Version [KJV]).
“For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;” (1 Timothy 2: 5, King James Version [KJV])
Greetings In The Holy Name Of Jesus,
My sisters and brothers, think about Jesus and all he has done for you. I am more than just a little bit sure when I say folks spread rumors about other folks. Perhaps, the gossip did not get directly right back you. You found yourself laughing along as you heard the things said, not even knowing that they spoke about you.
Intrigued nonetheless, you said, still laughing it off because you thought the Christian folks were talking about someone else, Are you talking about me? You did not recognize the descriptors they spoke of to describe the person as descriptors, of you, the truth of you.
Of course, your heart sank way down deeply hurt for now you see their perceptions of you undoubtedly expressed in the way they treated you, was their reality. Who planted those seeds of hate against you, lies coming out of the abyss of hell, standing against your good name, your reputation?
Most importantly the naysayers stood to deny you and your good faith works. Yes, we know the demons that played their parts in the destruction of your reputation. Is envy one of those demons? What about covetousness, greed, and jealousy? The person they made you out to be was not the new creature, in Christ Jesus, reborn, leaving the old man behind to become a new man quickened in the faith of Christ. Moreover, your creator, God Almighty Yahweh, did not leave you back.
More importantly, those misgivings coming out of hate try to say you must let them rebirth you out of death. You do not need God or His power to convert to the faith of Jesus. In fact, they spent so much time destroying you, they forgot to build you up, in their perception of what the new you should act like, feel like, and stay like because they are now the head of you and you belong to them. Christian folks, let me tell you, you must not twist and turn the Word.
Understandably, we perceive life coming out of death, which is a sad reality, indeed. We notice each season of change. How the growth of life on Earth slows down and goes into dormancy? I must tell you, God did not make man out of death.
Our living God Yahweh breathed life into man making man a living soul. As much as the plants die out each year and come back to life, the plants were not even created out of death. Let us clearly think about our premise, Out of death comes life. This is a most damaging cruel reality of destroying a person’s life when you rally the troops together to plot the destruction of a fellow Christians’ life.
For as many lies that you put out there to stand against a fellow Christian are the beginnings of destruction of a person’s life not just the lifestyles lived. We know lies grow, the words in tell-all stories change to establish history of even more new lies. As they say, it is hard to keep a good man down. It is hard to keep a good woman down. Let me tell you it is hard to keep a lie down and there is not one goodness coming out of it.
Interestingly enough, the backsliders and hypocrites just love this foreplay against the children of God. God let Satan test Job. Are you God Yahweh? Satan tempted Jesus in the wilderness. All that because, man could not would not accept Jesus as the Son of God, just the son of man. When we speak of world domination, we speak of the weaknesses of the flesh to test, some call it checking a person. Howbeit, the Godman still became who he is, Our Lord and Savior, the only begotten Son if God. What say ye of Babylon’s Nebuchadnezzar and his quest to dominate the world? God turned Nebuchadnezzar into a beast of the field with eagles feathers and talons bird claws yet we often think of him as a wolf howling at the moon [Daniel 4: 32-33, King James Version (KJV),
“The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty? While the word was in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken; The kingdom is departed from thee. And they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field: they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.”
Perhaps we think of the King of Babylon Nebuchadnezzar [According to Daniel, the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar suffers from a mental illness, and lives isolated for seven years, until he acknowledges the power of the one God.Apr 21, 2019
https://www.livius.org › bible › dani...”; Shapeshifting to the form of a wolf is specifically known as lycanthropy, and such creatures who undergo such change are called lycanthropes. ... While the popular idea of a shapeshifter is of a human being who turns into something else, there are numerous stories about animals that can transform themselves as well.

“] howling because holy scripture says, Jeremiah 51: 8 King James Version (KJV), “Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: howl for her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed.” Who do we suppose we are or who do we suppose we become under the scrupulous rigors of leadership? We find folks discuss leaders sometimes as shapeshifters that change from the human animal to a beast of the field. Do we see ourselves as we behave in leadership especially the perceptions even lies spread as the perceptions might surely be in the pressures of domination in particular world domination? Henceforth, we can only say given that the world had problems accepting Christ Jesus Yahshuah, as the Son of God, Godman, we know some folks weary to think of the King of Babylon Nebuchadnezzar as a beast man.
With that said, we give it to the film industry, the planet of the apes, which depicted leadership of the world under the auspices of an ape population, foregoing the evolution of man that did not permit man to remain as an ape. Do you believe in the Ape man? Do you think of yourself as evolving from an ape to man? [“All of the groups have similar characteristics, but there are characteristics that separate us. Great apes (humans, chimps, bonobos, gorillas and orangutans) generally have larger brains, larger bodies, and no tail. ... There are many different species of monkeys, and what are known as 'lesser apes'.Jun 27, 2018
https://news.janegoodall.org › chim... Chimps, Humans and Monkeys: What's the Difference?”;
“The concept of the man-ape relationship has also enjoyed a long-standing history, its origins being traced somewhere between History and Legend. It has always been implied but rarely precisely described, that man and ape, regardless of the sub-species of ape, shared more than the air they breathed. ... This human-ape relationship remained hidden mainly because the result was degrading and demeaning. Actually, to the public opinion, any kind of kinship with apes is degrading and demeaning. In 1860, Thomas Huxley, a loyal defender of Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution, debated Archbishop Samuel Wilberforce over "The Origin of the Species". The best line was uttered by a woman who wasn’t even allowed to attend: "Descended from an ape? Let us hope that it’s not true, but if it is, let us pray that it will not become generally known". Such a degradation could very well be a punishment from God: According to one Jewish legend, three classes of men built the tower of Babel, one of which was turned to monkeys as a punishment from God, starting a line of thought that yields the possibility not only of evolution from ape to human but also of degradation from human to ape. From the same source we read a Muslim fable that tells of the ancient Jews who lived in Elath and were turned into monkeys as a punishment from Allah for having fished on the Sabbath11.”, [Hippokratia. 200https://www.ncbi.nlm.njh.gov/7 Apr-Jun; 11(2): 92–94. PMCID: PMC2464272
PMID: punned/19582186]. Albeit dandy to now recently think of the human relationship between ape and man, African-Americans living in the United States of America never saw the genetic connection between Ape - man just the foregone conclusion that of the human species the talk was more that the connection was between the African-Americans than any of the other minority groups living in America.
Was this theory justified based on evidence? We now see ourselves thinking-out-loud, Godman, beastman, and apeman. Do any of those descriptors knock on your door? Do you find yourself with behaviors similar arising out of genetic disorder or culturally practiced misbehavior?
Throughout history, we find the devil, Satan shapeshifter to a snake and/or a dragon. The film industry frequently used shapeshifter snake and dragon images to depict Satanic madness, with the possessed persons going back and forth from snake to man. Do you see yourself as a snake man with behaviors of a snake? [Revelation 12: 9, King James Version (KJV), “And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.”; Revelation 20: 2 King James Version (KJV), “And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,”]. Furthermore, In our research of holy scripture, the Word of God says, “Deuteronomy 32: 33 King James Version (KJV), Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps.” [“Psalm 140: 3, King James Version (KJV),
They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison is under their lips. Selah.”; “Ecclesiastes 10: 11 King James Version (KJV), Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment; and a babbler is no better.”; “Jeremiah 8: 17, King James Version (KJV), For, behold, I will send serpents, cockatrices, among you, which will not be charmed, and they shall bite you, saith the Lord.”].
With all that said we simply want to know is Satan a Shape shifter ? [“truefreethinker.com, Is Satan a shape shifter? The concept of morphing, of shape shifting is very popular today and is generally applied to ghosts, aliens as well as angels and demons. That old serpent called the Devil and Satan (Revelation 12: 9 ; 20: 2) is not an angel nor a demon; is not a fallen angels but rather, a fallen Cherub (Ezekiel 28: 14) and Cherubim and Angels are different categories of beings. For whether Satan approached Eve in the literal shape/body of a serpent see the article:
On Satan, divination and metal
In view within this article is what, appears to be, a very straight forward statement about Satan being a shape shifter.
2 Corinthians 11: 14 states that Satan does that which has been variously translated as follows:
ASV fashioneth himself into an angel of light.
HNV masquerades as an angel of light.
NIV masquerades as an angel of light.
KJV is transformed into an angel of light.
NKJV transforms himself into an angel of light.
YLT doth transform himself into a messenger of light;
DBY transforms himself into an angel of light.
WEB is transformed into an angel of light.
NLT disguises himself as an angel of light.
ESV disguises himself as an angel of light.
HCSB disguises himself as an angel of light.
NASB disguises himself as an angel of light.
RSV disguises himself as an angel of light.
The word in question is metaschematizo (Strong's G3345) which refers to “to change the figure of, to transform.”]. We do not see what seeds are actually planted in us when folks speak to us. I recall a person possessed of a spirit asked me, What is your age? I could see the spirit that possessed her. She said, I am 71 years old. Quickly. I moved away from her for that was the right age of the spirit that I saw in her.[“answers.com, Wiki User, October 10, 2016 4:52AM: Contrary to some naysayers, shape shifters are actually demon spirits. Demon spirits often manifest as "familiar spirits," also known as ghosts. The Holy Spirit through the Apostle Paul, in Ephesians 6: 12, revealed the four classes of fallen angels; the angels whom threw their lot in Lucifer in eternity past, to usurp the Sovernity of the Almighty GOD. "Principalties," is the first class of fallen angels; the Greek word is arche which means first rule; despotism is a proper contemporary word meaning absolute ruler. "Powers" is the next class, Greek exousia meaning a spiritual potentate or governor. "Rulers of darkness" is the third class, Greek skotos, meaning spiritual blindness to the Light of the Gospel of CHRIST. The fourth class is a distinct class, "spiritual wickedness in high place," and this class are demon spirits, not fallen angels. They "kept not their first estate (as fallen angels), but left their own habitation (their spiritual bodies..." Jude 6; Gen 6: 1-5. This begat demon spirits, disembodied spirits; JESUS referred to these spirits in Mat. 12: 43-45.”].
Where do shapeshifters come from? Therianthropy is the mythological ability of human beings to metamorphose into other animals by means of shapeshifting. It is possible that cave drawings found at Les Trois Frères, in France, depict ancient beliefs in the concept. The most well known form of therianthropy is found in stories concerning werewolves.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org › wiki
Therianthropy - Wikipedia. Are Shapeshifters human?
The creature known as The Shapeshifter is specifically a human who can willingly take the physical form of one to several animals while maintaining their human consciousness. ... Some Shapeshifters of this kind can transform into multiple animal forms while others can only transform into a single form. https://www.gods-and-monsters.com › ...

In closing, obviously the world did not speak much about shape shifters because those imbued with such talents kept to themselves in closed communities but now we find shape shifters in mainstream lifestyles mingling and in cohabitation with those who do shape shift. This, of course, leaves man in constant temptation to live life on the edge trying to understand all the sensory phenomenon going on around him, especially the diets of such shape shifters comes in mind [“crystalink.com, Shape shifting is the transformation (mentally or physically) of one's self into an animal. A 'theriomorph' is a shapeshifter; a being who can assume an animal as well as a human form. A spiritual theriomorph is someone who at least sees aspects of animals in his or her personality and actions, and those aspects shape who he or she is. More so in the meaning of a spiritual shapeshifter, being able to assume animal as well as human form in spirit (or a mix of the two).There are two types of shapeshifting; changing your light body in the astral to power animal, and changing your physical form on the earth plane into an animal. Perhaps this is where the lycanthropy legend actually began. Very adept shamans are said to be able to change their physical human forms into that of animals.
During certain ritual dances, humans can be possessed by the animal spirit. Although they outwardly do not become the animal, their body may contort or move in the fashion that the animal is most comfortable. Vocalizations are also heard, such as the cry of the Eagle, scream of the Falcon, etc.These power dances are not harmful, as long as they are done within some type of sacred circle. Inwardly, the individual melds with the animal. The human's sense of smell or sight may be heightened, there could be increased dexterity in the limbs, or a feeling of savage power that the animal may represent. Depending on animals for food and fur for warmth, primitive man knew that his destiny was linked with that of the beasts. His almost religious fascination with the creatures he hunted is evidenced by cave drawings found as far apart as France and Australia. Many early civilizations revered animals as the incarnation of gods; in ancient Egypt, for example, both the cobra and the cat were objects of worship. It is not surprising that stories of humans turning into beasts, has become deeply ingrained in the popular imagination. Often such metamorphoses are associated with fear and terror.In central and eastern Europe, for example, a belief in the bloodsucking vampire that condemns its victims to a living death has persisted into the 20th century. In West Africa until recently, members of a secret society called the Leopard Men believed that simply wearing the leopard's distinctive spotted skin would magically imbue them with that animal's fearsome strength.”].Yes, the world is a scary place. Our Father God Yahweh in heaven says, Fear not, I am with you [“Isaiah 41: 10 King James Version (KJV),
Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.].. Let us pray: Lord, I thank you. I love you, Lord God. My soul loves you. I look to you for the promises of salvation that each day holds for the sufficiency of well-being. For you are my God, O holy, holy God, of power and might supply my every need, Jehovah Jireh. I know you will provide when no one else will, for by your will, Lord, we are saved from the terrors that lurk around looming over, behind, right next to us, to snatch away life, a life they could not create but seize every opportunity to steal, kill, or destroy. Lord, keep us. Lord have mercy. Lord save us. In the Holy Name if Jesus Yahshuah, we pray for intercessory power to stand in the gap of faith to bridge over troubled waters to take the leap of faith to lean on you, Lord. For the way is straight and narrow and was it not for the love of God the way would not exist and all things would not be possible but because of you Lord God Yahweh there is a way, all things are possible and the light of Christ Jesus is more than a lamp on our feet to lead the way through darkness but a lamp in our hearts to show the world we are Christ Jesus, your children, your family. Christ be with you. God bless
