Peace as a weapon,1 of 2

11/30/2024

Hi all,

I've told the story many times, but it is important to this teaching. It is when Barb and I were first married and returning to her parent's home for the Thanksgiving holiday. Her parents were always in strife; theirs was a family of 'shouters'.

But it was more than that. Her mom would stand in the kitchen and angrily yell at her dad who was watching TV in the other room, and he would angrily yell back. Back and forth it would go, and we perceived a spirit was involved. It was more than a simple difference of opinion, something was enticing them to fight - that was a spirit of strife.

That first Thanksgiving holiday we stayed with them after we got married was a nightmare. Barb and I were soon in strife with one another too. It was a miserable weekend full of arguments and bad moods, punctuated by a few moments of peace here and there.

Once home we realized what it was - staying in their home we had unknowingly allowed ourselves to be submitted to the evil spirits in that home. We determined that would never happen again.

What the Lord showed me
Matthew 10:12-13:"When you come into a house, let your peace settle upon it if it is worthy. If not, let your peace return to you."

Jesus is talking about the traditional greeting at the door of someone's home:"Shalom aleichim" which means 'Peace to you'. The response would be 'Aleichim shalom', which is "To you peace." But Jesus said; "Let your peace settle on (the) house." I had never seen it expressed as a 'presence' that may be given out and/or taken back. The concept of letting my peace 'settle' upon a house was new to me.

Until that moment I had never been taught, never heard, never thought of peace as something I had control over. That God's peace in me, in my spirit, could be extended towards someone and their home, and if needed taken back, hit me powerfully.

Peace can be a weapon for good. Every teaching about peace I had ever heard or read about was defensive - 'Give me peace to get through this', for instance. Or in the midst of the storms of life I will have peace. Things like that.

I thought on what He taught me on and off for the year. The next Thanksgiving trip to her parent's house was different. Before we ever left our home for the 1200 mile drive (1931km) Barb and I did this:"Father, thank you for showing us we can let our peace from you dominate our time at her mom and dad's house. We let our peace settle on that house according to Matthew 10:12-13, in the name of Jesus."

"Now Satan. In the name of Jesus, we take authority over the spirits of strife and unforgiveness, and any other spirit in that house and command it to be silent while we are there. Our peace, the peace of the Lord, will dominate and settle upon that house."

That weekend was a good weekend. Her parents would have words a little back and forth, but the demonic fuel for strife had been silenced, and peace reigned. Barb and I were at peace throughout, as were the rest of her family. Wow, what a difference. Peace as a weapon for good!

Other uses
When I was on staff as the Bible school Director at a mega church we had regular 'Administrative Team' meetings on Wednesdays at 12:30. We were the 'elders' of the church - the local newspaper estimated it had about 13,000 attendees at the time. The 'A-team' as it was known, consisted of department heads, a Trustee, the Pastor and Associate Pastor.

Those weekly meetings were the 1 chance each department head had to talk directly to the pastor. One of the men in particular was always vocal about what he was doing, elevating his department above the others, taking lots of time to talk about how good he was and how much good he was doing.

Unfortunately, in elevating himself he criticized the rest of us. It was subtle, but it was regular. I would often pray about my day on Wednesday mornings, mentally going over the day while I prayed in tongues.

I would mentally walk through the day - coming through the office door around 7:30 - I oversaw about 35 people, so I imagined the morning, the classes I would teach in the morning, and then school was out at noon.

I shifted to the 'A-team' meeting and sometimes I would sense a negative witness in my spirit. I would 'hover' over that meeting in my mind, trying to discern what that negative was. It felt like a grievance, a pain, a heaviness, a sudden lack of peace. Very often it was a spirit of strife that I recognized would try to become involved in the meeting.

I would simply say:"In the name of Jesus I take authority over the spirit of strife and command it to be silent during the meeting." I would then ask the Father to let His peace be on the meeting, also stating 'I send my peace to settle upon that meeting like in Matthew 10:12, in Jesus' name.' I would then ask the Father to direct our conversation and decision making and so forth.

Each time, and I mean every single time, we would get to the point in the meeting where I knew strife wanted to rear its ugly head, and there would be nothing there. Like a dragon breathing fire, suddenly the fire had gone out. The man described above had nothing, he held his peace or he refrained from attacking one of us.

Once again, peace was a weapon for good, and I learned more about how to let my peace settle upon a home, a meeting, an event. I became even more aware of Christ in me, the hope of glory.

Next week I'll share how I overcame fear and worry in prayer through peace, and more - until then, blessings,

Understanding free will, 3 of 3, Suffering

11/23/2024

Hi all,

Wrestling with God
In Romans 7:15-25 Paul expresses the struggles of all who seek God:"In my inner man I delight in the law of God. But I see another law working in my body making me a prisoner of the law of sin in my body."

This is the point we truly come to know the freedoms and limitations of free will. It is that wrestling with God that tests our desire to grow in Christ. When Jacob wrestled with God in Genesis 32:24-30, they wrestled through the night. We too wrestle with God and ourselves through our 'nights', our dark times. But he came out on the other side with a new name:Israel (Yisrael), which means 'God strives'.

We should note that when the Lord changed Jacob's name, He took His own perspective:"God strives". This reveals the Lord's willingness to strive with us, to wrestle with us. The fact He named him 'God strives' should be a great relief to us. It means He won't give up. It means He isn't angry when we fail again and return yet again to Him in regret and repentance. It means He willingly wrestles with us to work a new name, a new nature within us - He didn't give up on Jacob. And Jacob didn't give up on Him. He had hold of God and wasn't going to let go until he got the blessing.

The thing you think disqualifies you...
...is actually the thing that qualifies you. Our natural man (and church culture) tells us because in the past we did X, we aren't worthy of God's call. Or that because He called, we answered, then we wrestled ourselves into a ditch, we think we have missed Him to the point we are unredeemable.

Paul wrote in II Timothy 2:3-4 to be a good soldier in Christ. In that time, the Romans wanted as their soldiers the men who had the roughest life growing up. They wanted farmers, ranchers, fighters, and the like because they knew how to endure hardship. They had worked in all sorts of weather. They made the best soldiers, not those who had it easy all their lives. What you think disqualifies you, actually qualifies you to be used by the Lord.

Free will and the inevitable wrong decisions allow us to explore what we have within the boundaries of free will. Without free will we would not know the depths of sin, and therefore would not know grace.

Hanging on my office wall is the text from US President Theodore Roosevelt's 1910 speech 'Citizenship in a Republic.' This section is called 'The Man in the Arena.'

"It is not the critic who counts; nor the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly, who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."

Suffering
God the Father lives in the timeless realm of the Spirit. Then He created a physical universe, and created humans who can function both in His realm and the natural world to rule it. To do so meant giving humans free will to govern the physical world.

Knowing then that man would make the choice to know both good and evil means the Father can use that to help man know all that He has given them. That brings purpose to suffering. It brings purpose to experiencing the consequences of our actions. If we view free will as something to learn about life's choices, we can find our way to life and blessing, turning from curse and death.

It is why Paul said he; 'glories in suffering, for when I am weak, then I am strong.' It is why he wrote the Philippians that he wants to know 'the fellowship of His sufferings and the power of His resurrection.' II Corinthians 12:9, Philippians 3:10

Paul is describing the high and low of free will - the low is in the fellowship (sharing in common) with His sufferings, the glory being the power of His resurrection. Paul wanted to know the full range of free will, and part of that means suffering. Both elements are required to truly grow as a person and a person in Christ.

Free will is the ability to choose between different courses of action.
Free will is therefore directly linked to morality, responsibility, advice, argument, discussion and persuasion, deep consideration of actions, and setting boundaries.

As far as I know scripture, only actions done by free will get blame or credit. It is often the actions of others that damage our lives, so we are not to blame when we are the victim. It is therefore true that often God is not in the event, but He can be found in our response to the event. He holds us accountable for our own free-willed actions.

This again brings purpose to suffering, for He is faithful that all will be made right in the end. We must hold to the truth we are already in eternity. Ephesians 2:7 mentions 'ages to come'. We don't die and then pass into eternity; we are in eternity right now. Whatever happens in this life, it is in part preparation for the next age.

This is in part why James wrote in 1:2 to '...count it all joy (a fruit of the spirit, not an emotion) when you fall into various trials, tests, temptations, knowing that the trying of your faith exercises consistency. And if you let that consistency have its complete work, you will (come out of the trial) complete and lacking nothing.'

If we value growth in Christ as our #1 priority, that which drives us every day, then we tell the world to 'do your worst', for we know free will, we know how to fight for it. We know how to let the things of Christ in us have their full work, and we realize we battle from the position of having already won, from being seated with Christ in the heavenlies, with Him and our Father forever. We have already overcome this world!

Understanding Free Will, 2 of 3, the devil made me do it

11/16/2024

0 Comments

Hi all,

Back in the 1970's there was a US comedian who created a character named 'Geraldine', and her punch line was "The devil made me do it." The skit was always how Geraldine committed a sin but didn't want to be held responsible for it. So 'the devil made me do it.'

Your will is stronger than the devil
The devil couldn't make Geraldine do anything - she just wanted to escape responsibility for her own life. She wanted to blame her troubles on the devil or others. But our will is sovereign. Neither God nor the devil nor anyone else can make anyone do anything.

Consider that every year millions of unsaved people all over the world get delivered of addictions and sinful habits they recognize as destructive, just by an act of their will. They get out of demonic strongholds just be setting their will not to do that thing which has held them in bondage for years:Drugs, s*x, addictions, emotional disorders, depression, gambling, etc.

Many of these are the same sins for which Christians call out for prayer to help them overcome, or blame the devil for their latest fall into sin. One of the most subtle deceptions of the devil is getting Christians to think they are powerless. Not only do we have Christ in us and the authority to use His name to command demons away from us, but like every human being, our will is sovereign. The devil had to tempt Adam and Eve; he couldn't make the decision to sin for them.

You can't rebuke the devil with success unless you deal with the fact you like that sin. Determine that isn't your life anymore. Be like Moses who valued more highly heaven than the riches of Egypt and passing pleasures of sin*. Crucify that lust (lust is any desire for sin that resists control). Once we set our will, then and only then does any rebuke of the demonic have any power. *Hebrews 11:25-27

"These signs will follow those who believe in my name...they will cast out demons." That requires an act of our will to use our free will and authority to command demons away from us. Mark 16:17

Neither Jesus nor the disciples prayed for a person under demonic attack
They cast out the demon. Command the thing its boundaries. Tell it to leave. If someone has a demon but they don't want set free, at least use the Name to command it to be silent when you are around the person. If a neighbor has a demon and it is using them to attack you, just command that spirit to stop its attack, and then pray for that neighbor.

Jesus (and the apostles) only dealt with demons He and they came into direct contact with. You can't take authority over ever demon in the world, and there is no evidence we can command demons over cities or territories. But if you come into contact with a person with a demon, then you have authority. You have no authority over someone's human spirit, but you do authority over a demonic spirit.

Freewill is a gift from God that you'll never know how to use until you fight for it.
That includes resisting temptation, fighting for your right to righteousness and holiness. In a visitation the Lord was teaching me about decision making. Suddenly a small pond appeared a short distance from us, and in the Lord's left hand a small stone, which He tossed underhanded, gently into the pond.

Where the stone hit the water, ripples went out in perfect circles, and then the scene froze and an X appeared on one of the outer circles. The Lord continued:"Where the stone hit is a decision a person makes that is not my will. Each ripple is 1 year, and the X is an event, sometimes a tragedy, that happens even 5 years or more after that wrong decision was made."

He went on to talk of how a person wonders why God allowed it. It was the 2nd time in all my visitations He repeated that He and the Father are just and right (true) in all things, and on that day all will be revealed. But still, many of us who have had a tragedy in our lives are unable to see the decisions we made sometimes years earlier, which resulted in the current outcome.

Sometimes the result of a decision is revealed quickly,
...like we decide not to get a step stool, choosing a nearby chair instead, and fall and injure ourselves. That is easy for us to connect the dots as to why something happened. But let's say we miss God and make the wrong decision and start down that path. When something happens 1 or 5 years later, we don't always remember back to that fateful decision made years earlier.

Sometimes we do. A person finds themselves 20 years into a horrible marriage and they think back with regret to their decision to get married to their spouse. They fooled themselves perhaps, thinking it was God, or thinking God would change them...the same in business, jobs, friends. We make the decision, then later bad things happen, then some blame God. Many times there is a heavy price to pay and we are angry at ourselves, at God, at another person...but our free will put it all in motion.

So what is the purpose if free will is trial and error?
"Don't be conformed to this world, but undergo a metamorphosis by renewing your mind. Then you will be able to prove the good, acceptable, and perfect will of God." Romans 12:2

The path along which we prove good, acceptable and perfect, is full of mistakes we make. This verse would suggest a trial and error process of finding the Father's good, then acceptable, then perfect will for us. What this is the purpose of free will if we so often struggle through the process?

And that brings us to next week, the purpose of trials and tribulations as it relates to exercising free will. Until then, blessings,

Understanding free will, 1 of 3

11/9/2024

Hi all,

"If your friends jumped off a cliff, would you jump too?"

I don't remember what I did, but I remember mom's stinging question. She was trying to make me realize I was responsible for my actions. She was telling me my free will combined with common sense and rightness were more important than what my friends were doing.

Angels and humans are spirit-beings created with free will
It seems from scripture that spirit-beings are eternal, have the ability for spontaneous speech rooted in their spirit, and have free-will.

This makes sense as Hebrews 12:9, Zechariah 12:1, Isaiah 42:5, Psalm 104:30, Job 33:4, and Deuteronomy 32:18 all state the Father God creates us by His Spirit. Therefore we are eternal like our Father, develop thoughts expressed in speech like our Father, and have free will. We are all created 'alive to God' like Adam and Eve were, naked and innocent, having to exercise free will on whether they wanted to follow life, or sin.

(This explains why the Bible says nothing about just ending Satan's or an unbeliever's existence. We are spirit-beings, a spirit cannot just be 'ended', as far as we have been told, because we were created from the eternal Father.)

We are therefore sovereign beings. During a visitation in which the Lord was teaching me about angels and demons, He asked:"When you see a demon, what does it look like?" As I described demons I had seen, large and small, how they seemed to be a rather shriveled shadow of some former self, the common trait I said was; 'They are always naked'.

He said, "Very well. And when you see angels what do they look like?" I described their various heights, skin colors, hair, robes and styles of those robes, and such, but the common trait was; 'They are robed'.

He said:"When Lucifer rebelled he and the angels who followed him were stripped of their righteousness, sealing their decision. The angels who stayed (retained their original) and were given robes of righteousness, being sealed in Me by their decision. Similarly, people who choose Me are sealed by the Father's Spirit and given robes of righteousness..." (II Corinthians 1:22; Ephesians 1:13, 4:30; Rev 4:4, 7:9, 13-14, 19:7-8, 14)

What the Father spoke to me about it when I was a teen
I had been reading Colossians 1:12-13:"Giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of His holy people in the kingdom of light. Who has delivered us from the authority of darkness and transferred us (translated us) into the kingdom of His dear Son."

He said:"Your body gives you authority in the earth as long as it lives. But when the body dies, your spirit and soul automatically become subject to the kingdom you're a citizen of." (Yes I know poor grammar, but I was a kid and that's how I talked, so that's what He said.)

There are many testimonies of people who have had near-death experiences, in the midst of the process of dying, in the last gasps of their body, being pulled downwards into darkness and terror, who remembered Jesus and called out to him. When they did, their downward motion immediately stopped. Sometimes they report a hand of light or a being of light, or Jesus Himself, pulling them back up and into their body, now to live and tell their story that others may choose to believe.

Your body gives you authority in the earth. But your citizenship is set by the 'condition' of your spirit. Either it has been recreated by the Spirit of God and you are now a citizen of the kingdom of light, or you are of darkness.

"For you were darkness, but now you are light. Live as children of the light live!" Ephesians 5:8

If all that happened were your sins were forgiven, you'd still go to hell.
That's because it isn't the forgiveness of sins only that allows a person to enter heaven. It is the cross AND the resurrection, which brings the recreation of the spirit.

Legally, hasn't the Father forgiven the sins of every person who has ever lived or ever will live? Yet how many millions are still rejecting Him, deciding for hell? Sins are forgiven, but that doesn't mean everyone automatically goes to heaven.

No, every one of us must decided, of our own free will, to believe in Jesus. What is it about that act of free will that allow us into heaven? It is the fact our spirit man is at that moment, recreated by the Holy Spirit, making us able to be a resident of that pure and holy place called heaven.

The cross paid for our sins; the resurrection provided the power to recreate our spirit man.
Both are required:"For we died and were buried with Christ by baptism. And just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory and power of the Father, now we also may live new lives." Romans 6:4

"That the eyes of your understanding would be opened, to know....His (Father's) great power to us who believe. It is that same mighty power (working in you) He exerted when He raised Christ from the dead and seated Him at His own right hand..." Ephesians 1:18-20

The power the Father exerted to raise Jesus from the dead, was set in motion at that moment in time some 2,000 years ago, and has never stopped. It has never lost its power, and is the same power working in you and I to conform us into the image of His Son. The angels said "He IS risen." That is an eternal condition - IS risen. The power that raised Him into that condition of eternal 'risen', is the power working in our spirit man to this day.

Let that sink in. The power that raised Jesus from the dead, is that exact same power working in your spirit right now. All we have in Christ. Every experience you've had in Him, every time you've felt His presence - all that Paul said, is the same mighty power from the Father that He exerted when He raised Jesus from the dead some 2,000 years ago - that same power is in us!

Next week will pick up from there, especially about our sovereign will and fighting for and learnig about our free will. What do we do with all that power in our spirit?

You are a sovereign being. You are eternal. The power that works in you is the exact same power unleashed on resurrection day and will continue until your own resurrection day, and beyond! Your spirit has been recreated by the Spirit of God. That makes you a citizen of heaven, and no man or demon has the authority or power to change that.

Until next week then, blessings,

God's rights as Creator 3 of 3

11/2/2024

0 Comments

Hi all,

We conclude this little study of how the Creator uses creation to try to reach mankind. He cannot violate free will, so He uses events in nature to try to get man's attention. This becomes especially true in the last 7 years of this age.

The disciples had asked In Matthew 24:1-8:"When will one (temple) stone not be left on another? And a second question:"What would be the signs leading up to your return at the end of the age?"

Those are 2 questions. Luke was led to answer the first in detail in Luke 21, which happened in the year 70 and Israel was dispersed into the nations. Jesus prophesied in v24:"And Jerusalem will be trodden down (controlled) by Gentiles until the time of the Gentiles is fulfilled." (Israel took control in 1967) Matthew however, was led to record Jesus' answer to the 2nd question about His return.

He answered:
"Nation will go to war against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in many places. But this is only the start of birth pains. (labor pains)" (v7-8)

We miss what every Jewish reader of Matthew would have noticed right away. In Judaism, the last 7 years of the age is called 'Birth pangs of Messiah', with various disasters on a smaller scale preceding the 'big contractions'. There are many Jewish names for that specific time, including 'The time of Jacob's Trouble' (Jeremiah 30:7), and 'the days of wrath'.

Paul wrote in I Thessalonians 1:10 and 5:9 that we are not destined for, and have been delivered out of, 'the days of wrath'. We don't realize when he uses that term he is talking about a specific 7 years at the end of the age. We miss that Jewish phrase for what we call 'the tribulation.'

During the birth pangs of Messiah we see the earth convulsing even more, with the reference to famines being about weather patterns changing. Earthquakes and volcanos are in the same category, so Jesus here puts increased activity around the time of the start of the 'tribulation'.

If we were spending time on Matthew 24
We would see it clearly:It starts in v8 where Jesus says these things are the start of the birth pangs of Messiah. In v15 the man of sin enters the temple, Jesus confirming the classic understanding of Daniel's prophecy that he betrays Israel 3 1/2 years into a 7 year peace treaty. The 7 year time ends in v29-31 with His return. Verse 8 is the start, v15 the mid-point, v29-31 the end.

Jesus said famines (weather patterns changing) and earthquakes in particular would be greater than normal, identifying them as birth pangs of Messiah. The earth is travailing in birth even more as the time of His return approaches, and Creator is trying to get mankind's attention.

Let us look at the Creator's use of nature in The Revelation.
But first, a 'rabbit trail' to consider some man-made disasters and some questions to ponder:

In The Revelation 6:1-8 the 4 horsemen are released, and what they bring is strictly man-made:They are white, red, black and green (pale in some translations, but green in Greek) embodied in 1 person. He seems righteous, but brings war, which results in massive inflation, famine and death.

It should also be noted the method of execution in the Roman Empire was beheading for criminal citizens. It is stated in The Revelation 20:4 that is the method used in that area of the world in the last 7 years. Interesting in our day it is the method of execution used by militant muslims.

I'll also mention the 4 colors of the horses:White, red, black, green, are the colors of many nation's flags whose primary religion is muslim. (Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Libya, Palestine, Syria, Afghanistan, Western Sarah, Sudan, UAE, etc) Each color represents a past caliphate. I wonder if the apostle is seeing European federal government run by a European muslim who will at first appear peaceful, then turn aggressive to take over the EU? Pan-Arab colors - Wikipedia

Interesting to think about, but let's get back to the Creator using creation:
Besides the man-made disasters brought on by war:The Revelation 8:7 says fire will fall from the sky that will burn 1/3 of trees and grass. In 16:8-9 it says fire from the sun will burn people.

In The Revelation 8:8-13 the earth receives a double asteroid/comet hit. One appears to fall into an ocean and one on land. The result is 1/3 of fresh water sources become contaminated and 1/3 of sun, moon, and star light are blocked. It says 1/3 of day and night were darkened. We know in our times that would be a gigantic column of dirt and water thrown into the air, causing a world-wide cloud in the upper atmosphere that would block 1/3 of light from the sun reaching earth.

Consider the natural disaster! Crops will fail, global temperatures will drop. This part is not in Europe only, which is where the man of sin will rule. This is going to be a world-wide event. The end of chapter 8 says an angel will cry out "Woe, woe, woe to those on earth!" That's how bad this double asteroid/comet hit will be!

Chapter 9
9:1 starts where the angel crying 'woe' ends, continuing with the results of having this double asteroid hit. It describes in the first 6 verses a huge cloud of dust and dirt, a cloud that blocks the sun, 'like smoke out of a great furnace.' He sees disease that comes from that cloud which will affect people for 5 months. It will be very painful, so that those afflicted will cry out to die, describing pain in v6 like a scorpion sting. It's interesting scientists have speculated that in the case of an asteroid hit, it would throw massive amounts of dirt into the atmosphere, and that any number of bacterial diseases could afflict mankind as a result.

God the Creator, when men have rejected Him as their Creator, steps in to use nature to cause mankind to reconsider and repent. Remember again what I shared in part 1:Knowing Him as Creator is the most basic form of knowing the Lord.

Yet after all these disasters this is what is observed:
"And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood:which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:Neither did they repent of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts." The Revelation 9:19-21

"And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, who has power over these plagues:and they repented not to give him glory." The Revelation 16:9

"And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds." The Revelation 16:11

Repentance is the first word of salvation. It always has been. In Hebrews 6:1-2 it is listed as first in the foundational teachings of Christ. The earth has been delegated to mankind, and many have seen creation but refused to acknowledge the Creator. As Creator, He can't violate free will, but He can use what He has retained in His own power to get man's attention - the power of nature. In the last 7 years before the Lord returns, the Creator will show Himself as Creator, in the hope mankind will repent and acknowledge Him as God.

We are not yet in those last 7 years, so what we see is nature groaning in labor pains, longing to be set free from the sin it was subjected to. Earthquakes, storms, volcanos and more are the result of these birth pangs. But there is yet a time future, when asteroids hit, the earth's magnetic field fails, the sun will scorch the earth - and that will be the time for people to turn to the Creator in repentance.

Interesting times in which we live! New subject next week, until then, blessings,
