Native Americans, Washington by US History.com

This morning I woke wondering more about the natives, the land and the people of the Kitsap Peninsula where we live. Kitsap is said to be a sub-arm of the larger Olympic Peninsula located west of Seattle. The S'Klallam Tribe is the name of the first people recorded on the peninsula, of which I also found some interesting reading below. This article I found quite informative. More will be coming as I plough through and find some points of interest about the land where we now call home...it seems to me there is need for a me to really look at the history- the native people lost a lot to the europeans who came here - reading this makes me sad but it is important to know our history - so these mistakes can be acknowledges - prayed about - repented of (especially as I am now a Europrean living on the peninsula!

The word S'Klallam means "the strong people." Aboriginal S'Klallam bands inhabited present-day Washington State's northern Olympic Peninsula. Clallam County, whose northern edge is the shoreline of the Olympic Peninsula, is named after the S'Klallam.

The tribe was a distinct group whose villages were unified by intermarriage and language. The S'Klallam tongue is a member of the Salishan family of Indian languages. Village sites existed from the Hoko River on the west to Puget Sound on the east, and villages flanked both shores of the Strait of Juan de Fuca. A S'Klallam village once flourished at what would become downtown Port Angeles.
Like their neighbors, the S'Klallam relied heavily upon the rich Northwest waters to harvest salmon and other finned species, as well as shellfish. The Elwha River was a customary waterway for subsistence, but also for inter-village get-togethers. They moved to upriver villages as they followed the seasons. Families also trekked over the Olympic Mountains to gather plants and berries, and hunt for large game. The S'Klallam venerated the mountains, which they held to be sacred.

Englishman Robert Duffin's arrival on a longboat expedition from the west coast of Vancouver Island in July 1788 marked the first recorded encounter between Europeans and the S'Klallam.
The early explorers were unwitting carriers of smallpox, measles, influenza and tuberculosis, to which the indigenous people had no immunity. Entire villages withered in a massive social dislocation as waves of epidemics swept through.

Top Korean doctor reveals why he believes in spiritual healing

Top Korean doctor reveals why he believes in spiritual healing and is now dedicating his life to investigating miracles that cannot be explained medically - by Dan Wooding - www.assistnews.net

Dr. Joonha Hwang, a top South Korean doctor who graduated from medical school in in his homeland, has a medical license as well as a PhD in Neurophysiology, has revealed why he believes in spiritual healing.

Dr. Joonha Hwang

In an interview during the 8th Annual Christian Medical Conference held in Brisbane, Australia, from June 11-12, 2011, he said that he has given up his medical practice to dedicated his life to investigating miracles that cannot be explained medically.
Dr. Hwang, who is vice-president of the World Christian Doctors Network (WCDN), based in Seoul, South Korea, the group who organized the gathering that attracted some 220 doctors and medical professionals from 30 countries, said that it is important that medical data be examined about claimed miracles as quite often medical people are skeptical about whether they are real or not.
“We have uncovered many testimonies of how the power of God has healed patients and when doctors hear this kind of news, they become curious,” he said. “They want to know if it true or just a story that someone has made up.
“So that is why we put on these ‘Spirituality and Medicine’ conferences each year and then present medical data before and after the patient got prayed for. As far as I know, we at WCDN are the only Christian medical organization that invites doctors to come and hear from other doctors and are then able to openly discuss the evidence of divine healing.”
Dr. Hwang is now fulltime in the WCDN ministry and so I asked him about how it began.
“WCDN held its first conference in in Korea in 2004 and since then we have gathered each year in various countries around the world which have included India, the Philippines, the United States, Norway, Ukraine and last year in Italy,” he said.
Why was Australia chosen for the latest conference?
“Australia,” he replied, “is a very westernized and secular country with what we first thought were just a few doctors who were interested in divine healing.

Nations to 'give back territory'

 I just saw this statement on a twitter:

'President Obama wants Israel to return to its 1967 boundaries...isn't that like asking the U.S. to give Texas back to Mexico?'

Interesting for me as I just saw in BBC News yesterday that President Obama is pushing for the UK to hold talks with Argentina RE : UK to return sovereignty of the Falklands Islands (Malvinas Islands) to Argentina, to read more  Click Here

Port Stanley - Falkland Islands

In the BBC News report above, I also read this in the comments:

I don't see the USA that keen to hand back Guam to Spain, or any other historical outpost.....do you ?

Humm- similar to the thoughts on Texas above regarding the Israel debate.

I am from the UK and my husband is from Argentina: Some interesting dinner time discussions - coming up :) What is it with the American Nation, that it seems to be ok to demand that other countries give up territory, yet I feel quite sure President Obama would not be told by another nation about which territory America should give up.

I'm not saying the Falklands should remain British. However, if the greater population living there want to remain British, is it not the Islanders choice and right to be governed by the country they vote for, and not the government of the USA or any other nation to decide?

Interesting days ahead I think!

Jason Upton - Lion of Judah

Amber Brooks - Mighty Rushing Wind

Sweet Wind - David Ruis

I posted this song on the blog on Pentecost Sunday 2011- Strange that as I was looking for the 'We Can Ride' song I then came across the above song, that I also remember from my days as a baby Christian ( I was born again 1995) Many of these songs were brought forth from the revivals taking place in the USA and other nations. I played the song all evening along with Ride with Me.. I was so excited again remembering the days when I knew no politics of church, and no 'is this God or not God' It just seemed all so much fun around these people. I felt determined to experience this and more than this again as I worshipped, sang and romanced My Jesus.

On Monday morning I was sat at the computer, and heard a sudden howling wind... I looked out of the window and the trees at the back of our house were silvery white. As I looked at the wind, it was so strong, I could only see the underside of the leaves. I thought this strange as the day was calm with no cloud and no wind until that moment... Weird I thought...

Then I remembered the night before when I had been singing 'Oh Sweet Wind will Blow you over me' I sensed in my spirit the Lord was saying... He is here Like He promised and I will ride with him and I will know once again the power and majesty of His mighty rushing wind...

I shared this with a Lover of Jesus at our church and he sent this reply:

Yeah, I went on a break at work on Mon.   Quite often.  I will sit in my car, and seek my Lord.  I will see the wind rustle the leaves in the bushes and the trees. I have always thought, Yes , I thank you Lord.  A moment of  a reminder that He is here.  He hears our call to Him.

But on Monday,  The break I took was about 11: 40 am. The wind came up and was very strong.  You could hear the sound before the leaves even began to move on the trees.  It was different.   No clouds that would usually describe the type of wind to me,  could see no beginning, but could see the end.  The wind was from S to North I believe.  It seemed to end across the street.   The trees near the freeway, and near some of the homes were untouched.  

The sound got my attention. IN my spirit,I really felt something was different.  Some way, somehow, I took this as an answer to prayer. I was thinking about the song, Holy And Anointed one,  and will we ride. I realized that so many times, I say yes, but I hesitate.

I am believe this is just another confirmation... We are about to enter into a something HOLY and FIERCE.... the wind and fire of the Holy Spirit has not left... He is just stoking up for some more Holy Fun and Frolics.....  Thank Jesus for signs in the heavens and the earth X

Words For England, France, Middle East and America - Kim Clements

I am so encouraged with this word prophesied by Kim Clements    and sent out today by Elijah List .  It is so what I have been knowing is coming some day. Once I was caught up in an open heaven for many hours and didn't really understand what was happening. I was so drunk I could not stand with out wobbling or laughing, it was like I was in a bubble of thick serum and everyone was in slow motion, it was so strong my arms were floppy and useless.. That summer of 1997 or 98 I had prayed daily for the Lord to release 'an Open Heaven' and release a 'Portal of His Glory' over the summer youth camp... It happened to me on the last night... I will share about this again... but my point now is when I read this word below this morning I cried because I know God is going to do this 'suddenly'

Kim Clement:

Words For England, France, Middle East and America

Something is About to Be Born

Prophesied on May 10, 2011 from The Matrix:

The labor pains that you are feeling in America and all over the world are proof that something is about to be born. Something, I prophesy to you, is about to be born which will shake the earth – a move of the Spirit that will bring the Body of Christ to a place that it has never been before.

You are going to be a part of that, you and your house are going to be a part of that. Children who have gone astray are going to be a part of that; families that are broken up are going to be a part of that. Businesses that have fallen to pieces are going to be given back to you. But you've got to see it, and when you see it, open your mouth and say it, because the minute you say it, it is an embodiment of God's word to you.

Watch England, France and the Middle East

Prophesied on May 21, 2011 from The Den:

I believe, and I'm saying this prophetically right now, that somehow God's going to take somebody from England and from the United Kingdom and place them in that position. I don't know who it is – it's somebody high up that's in a very powerful position. And so there's a disruption in France right now because God wants to establish France with correct leadership, and He wants to do it in Europe.

Not only in the Middle East are leaders going to topple, but in Europe as well because there's a lot of corruption that's taking place in Europe as well. When God sends a prophetic word to France and to England and to these different places, you watch how leadership starts coming into line with it. That's the power of this word.

"I'm Placing a Mantle Upon Your Children"

Prophesied on May 28, 2011 in St. Louis, Missouri:

Listen – the Spirit of the Lord says, "I'm laying a mantle upon your children. It is the mantle of the prophetic. I'm placing a mantle upon your children." And even as I wrapped the mantle around a young man last night, so the Lord's going to wrap the mantle around your children, and your grandchildren, and your great, great grandchildren, says the Lord. "I will wrap the mantle around your schools, I will wrap the mantle around your nation, I will wrap the mantle around your kids," says the Holy One of Israel.

"I'm going to take this mantle and I'm going to cause it to go throughout the land and there will be liberty, liberty, liberty, liberty. I'll raise up Isaiah, I'll raise up Jeremiah, I'll raise up Ezekiel, I'll raise up Daniel. I'll raise them up," says the Lord. "I'll even put the Spirit of the Lord upon them like Samson. I'll raise up strong men and young women that will prophesy. Your nation will be free again, your nation will be free again."

The Lord clearly says that because of what has happened and because of the death, and the life that has been taken so easily, laws will change in this nation because of the states that were torn to pieces by the wind that blew.

For God says, "There is a funnel, literally, and in that funnel I am going to cause not to go up, but to come down. I have prepared something for this nation where certain laws will change. And they will say, 'Can the President not veto this?'" God says, "There is no one greater than the Lord God Almighty. For the kings to trust in their horses and the strength of numbers is foolishness."

But God says, "There is a remnant of people in this nation that have said, 'We trust not in horses nor do we trust in chariots, but we remember the name of the Lord.' A nation that forgets its history has no future. And it is you that I've called upon, oh Body of Christ, My people, to remind them of the past, to bring it back into existence. The law shall change in favor of the saints of the Most High God; laws will change in favor of the children of the Most High God, and the children of America, and the children of Asia, and the children of Europe."

God says, "I will defend them," says the Spirit of the Lord, "because this day, I promise you, that I shall stand and I will make the changes so the school systems suddenly will be enhanced and the educational system shall have a change," says the Lord. says the Lord. Rejoice!
