Ambush Essay 2

Topics: Ambush, Holy Spirit, Devil Pages: 3 (996 words) Published: January 12, 2010

Sunday, January 10, 2010 was an eye opening experience for me: our children’s Pastor preached and his topic was “Ambushed”. At hearing the topic my mind was reeling and still is with how the enemy deceives us. The enemy’s job is to steal, kill, and destroy. And most times we think death and that is it, but there is so much more! The word Ambush means to attack an enemy; it’s a military term; concealed attack An ambush is a long-established military tactic, in which the aggressors (the ambushing force) use concealment to attack a passing enemy. Ambushers strike from concealed positions, such as among dense underbrush or behind hilltops. Ambushes have been used consistently throughout history, from ancient to modern warfare. An ambush predator is an animal which uses similar tactics to capture prey, without the difficulty and wasted energy of a chase. (wikipedia). Satan’s Mission: (Steal, Kill, Destroy)

Steal
The enemy steals our joy (it amazes me still and I’m trying to figure out how the devil gets in our mind, why does he have access to our mind). The devil robs us of our time when our thoughts are not on God’s kingdom building business; when we don’t study to show ourselves approves; when we fail to think on what is right, pure. The devil steals our hopes and dreams when we fail to put what God has given us in action- when we push pause and put God’s work on hold; when we doubt he wants to use us to accomplish his work. KILL

The enemy kills our vision when we fail to push to the point of being uncomfortable and settle or comfortable because our dreams cost and we sometimes don’t want to pay the price to reach them we choose to give up and set back on comfortable and comfortable gets us nothing but heavier weights ( God wants us to lay those weights aside).

DESTROY
The enemy tries to destroy us by causing division in our marriages, homes, relationships. When we talk to one another and agree (not to mention pray together) it makes the...

... Evaluative Essay Fast food restaurants are extremely successful in today’s world, but which restaurant is really better? That may be an easy decision to make right off the bat, but looking into further detail may make one change his or her mind. When choosing a place to eat, evaluating certain criteria, like food quality and taste, service, prices, and overall atmosphere could assist in the decision-making process. Two of the largest, most popular fast food chains in America today are Wendy’s and McDonalds, so this essay will provide an evaluation of the overall quality of both. When going to Wendy’s or McDonald’s, the first detail one sees is the large, glowing neon sign that towers above the actual restaurant itself, screaming out, “Pick me! Pick me!” Then, there is the choice of pulling around through a “drive-thru” or parking and eating inside. Every Wendy’s and McDonald’s is generally the same in appearance. A Brown, brick building, large glass windows, men’s and women’s restrooms, a dining area, the front counter where orders are taken and the kitchen behind the front counter comprise basically every restaurant there is. Remodeling to the original appearances of each restaurant has been taking place over time though, to attract more attention and provide an update to the progressing technology of today. Some things have not changed yet, though. Wendy’s logo is and has always been a red-haired, freckled little girl wearing a blue...

...Michael Facey April 29, 2015 Professor Christian Heisler ENG-103(Argument Essay) Police Brutality has become a serious topic in today’s time being that every time you turn on the TV you see them mention another act of violence from the police and since that were in 2015, cellphone cameras are being used to capture every single second of it, so it won’t become he say, she say evidence. According to Salem Press Encyclopedia, police brutality is abuses of authority that amount to serious and divisive human rights violations involving the excessive use of force that may occur in the apprehension or retention of civilians. Police brutality has become the issue of today’s time with civilians of this country; recent examples of police brutality are Eric Garner, Freddie gray, Sean Bell and it’s sad that’s there even more incidents. Police has been advised that some shootings are unjustified and wrong but they find a loophole, finding the victim to be wrong instead of the police officer. Most of the time it has been minorities that have been the victim in these incidents, and that is why police and minority groups have been having major conflicts that effects the country. I agree with this article that police brutality is a major issue and I believe that it’s wrong and need to be put to an end. In this article, race has become a major factor in this topic being that people of color tend to believe that they are targeted by their color and are the prime target...

... The passage I read is called “I have finally found what I wanted to be when I grew up.” It is a personal success story about Shelia S. Webster’s journey to becoming a registered nurse. This passage is very relatable to what I want to be when I grow up because I would like to become a Pediatric Nurse. Being a Pediatric Nurse means that you devote your knowledge and skills to caring for children from infancy to late teen years, and their families. In this passage Shelia writes about how much work and time it took for her to become a nurse. Shelia first started in the medical field as a labor and delivery staff nurse in 1993, but a few factors of this job quickly had Shelia second guessing her career (Webster). One factor that made her job less appealing was the stress of working in a high risk environment (Webster). The second factor was the late hours, between work and school she hardly had any time to herself (Webster). The third factor that made Shelia want to change her career was the restricting care she could provide in her facility (Webster). All of that stress was making her reach her breaking point (Webster). While still in school, her first step to her career was signing up for the legal nurse consulting seminar and before the semester was over she knew that nursing was the job for her (Webster). She was willing to do anything to get herself into the nursing program, to achieve this she became a claims analyst at a malpractice insurance carrier (Webster)....

...Shimoni Shah Dr. Graves EH 101-1EE 8 October 2014 Globalization through Multimodal Visuals: Is it Good or Bad? Has globalization made a big impact on the world? Is globalization a good or bad thing? Globalization has been a big part of the world. Images of globalization give off a greater understanding of globalization. It allows people to create their own opinion. The image and the multimodal video used to support Pico Iyer’s argument gives off two sides of globalization, along with the multimodal video to depict globalization. Pico Iyer’s essay uses the image to focus on the good side of globalization, whereas the multimodal video supports the bad side of globalization because of the visuals that are used. Pico Iyer views that the world is attaining a level of globalization that was only dreamt about. He talks about how Italian food is served casually in a Saigon restaurant and “burger joints” are popping up all over places like Japan. He describes the typical morning with examples of living in a multicultural environment. He also talks about how the dispersion of people becomes greater. For example, one new baby in every four is Arab. The author also brings light to some cities, like Hong Kong and Paris. They are becoming more and more globalized. Iyer is basically saying that the American culture is everywhere. Citizens of various countries, like Hong Kong, bring their own customs that contribute to globalization. Economic factors, such as capitalism,...

...Stefanie Parcher ENG-112 J. Metzger October 8, 2013 Getting Your Moneys Worth or Losing Your Self-Worth Today’s society has put a confusing spin on the need for higher education. Are we, as students, looking to simply walk out of the doors of a university and into a guaranteed job opportunity, or are we forgetting what the value of an education means? It seems to me that the lines between the definition of getting a degree and getting an education are very blurry. Another factor affecting our views on education is that society has changed; the downturn of today’s economy has affected many people’s choices, especially when it comes to choosing what path they choose for their future. Employers today are changing what they value: job experience or an education. Both of these choices will contribute differently to society. Also, the high cost of going to college will have you asking yourself, is the amount of money worth it, or a better question, am I worth it? We need to ask ourselves, what are you working for? Are you working for a degree to gain employment, or are you working for an education that gives you the many tools to becoming a vital citizen? All of these factors: the loose definition of what education means, our ever-changing society, and the rising cost of tuition, has forced students to re-think their futures as possible graduates. I would argue, to better our struggling economy, we need to be working to better ourselves in the larger sense of our...

...Landon j. English 22 The Ideal Society “Imagine there's no countries, it isn't hard to do. Nothing to kill or die for and no religion too. Imagine all the people living life in peace...” A small part of John Lennon’s song ‘Imagine’, written in 1971. He asks his audience to picture a world where things that divide people do not exists, a world where we can all live in peace, with no heaven or hell. Our society as a whole is widely effected by three controversial issues. The first being human nature, and the role greed and selfishness take in all human interactions. Second would be religion and its misleading beliefs. Then, lastly would be the false borders and country lines spread across our beautiful planet. If we eliminated these three things in all aspects of our society, it is only then that we can reach a Utopia. The most crucial role that would interfere in reaching a Utopia would be that of our own human nature. Although the majority of people have a very normal and sound set of morals and ethics there always seems to be that 10 percent of the population that wants to challenge the system. We will always have people who want more than what the normal human being would desire and or need. We see many of these examples throughout history. There are hundreds of historical tyrants that are in our history books today solely because of there greed and necessity to rule over a certain land or there sick need to control others. Individuals such as Joseph Stalin, Adolf...

...The Power of Belief in Habit Changing All of us have formed habits in our daily life. Even though some of these habits only exist in our subconscious and we cannot actually make sure whether they are real or only the conjectures. But it is undoubted that all of our behaviors are influenced by our desires on specific objectives. In the book, the power of habit, Charles Duhigg explained the definition of a habit as an effort-saving instinct. “When a habit emerges, the brain stops fully participating in decision making” (20). To support his opinions on habits, he introduced the three-step model of a habit loop, the theory of golden rule of habit, and the role of a craving brain and belief in the process of a habit changing. Through learning these theories, we can have a further cognition about the process to form different habits and how we did in the past to form our current habits. After reading the book, I have realized most of our previous habits will be convertible if we believe we have the ability to change them. The role of Belief in the process of a habit changing is necessary, due to the frustrations and inadaptation we may have to face in the process, what we need to overcome these difficulties is the firm Belief of dedicating in these specific tasks. The Belief enables us to keep an optimistic view and be brave to face directly to these hardships. According to Duhigg, the process within our brain is a three-step loop (19). The first part in this loop is cue,...
