Placed on my heart

So sleep my beloved child in peace as you lay in the lap of the lord, feel each breath of life in rhythm with your heart. Hold close the dream that fills your mind and with will pursue it as your destiny. Eternity is within you, so draw it from the pit of your soul and align your life to reflect it. Sleep now my child and gain strength for what is about to come. Be well rested for when the time comes I will recruit you. As you were once a child you are now my soldier. For once you were a Christian you are now my warrior. Take my will and fight for the Kings heart. Become part of my revolution. Lead my uprising. Be the one I have chosen you to be. Come my army and fight on the front line for I have chosen you to do my fathers work.
-Lacey Dotson
I feel God put this on my heart and on my mind to say that the time of waiting is over....we need to get to work in fighting for his name...if no one else is standing for him we must do so!

a generation fighting the enemy...this is our enemy

José Luis de Jesús Miranda is the founder and leader of Creciendo en Gracia (Growing In Grace International Ministry, Inc.) a ministry that teaches the doctrine of Grace and is based in Miami, Florida USA. Miranda's followers believe that he is the reincarnation of God on Earth, Jesus, the apostle Paul, an angel and an archangel. He refers to himself as the Antichrist and exhibits a "666" tattoo on his forearm. He has also previously referred to himself as "Jesus Christ in the flesh".

Current movement
In 2007, the Dallas Morning News reported that Miranda "preaches to followers in some 35 nations, mostly in Latin America, and has 287 radio programs and a 24-hour Spanish-language TV network." Creciendo en Gracia has been described as a cult by cult expert Rick Ross, and others.

In early 2007, he acknowledged others' claims that he was the Antichrist and explained that the term is true. He says it applies because people are no longer to follow the Jewish teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, and start acknowledging his (Miranda's) mission on the cross. According to Miranda, "Antichrist" means "no longer following Jesus of Nazareth as he lived in the days of his flesh". Naturally, controversy has surrounded these declarations.

Most recently, followers have shown their support by getting "666" tattoos on their bodies. "666", Miranda explains, is not a sign of the devil (he preaches that the devil was destroyed), but the number of the Antichrist. The Antichrist, he says, is a term he accepts because "we are no longer supposed to follow Jesus of Nazareth, therefore we are antichrists."

His followers often shout at Catholics and smash statues of holy figures in front of Catholic Churches.

emotionaly distressed

i dont know where i stand
i am lost within myself
holding onto what is left
slowly losing grip
here i am alone again
i close my eyes and breath
take me away from here
rescue me from my defeat
you have stolen my heart
and captured me from my pain
all i need is you now
to pick me up and hold me close
i draw near to you
and surrender all i have
the light is still dim
yet it is getting closer
i fall back against you
leaning on you for strength
you hold me up and we make it through
i could not do any of this with out you
