Ask the Holy Spirit!

There is no excuse for believers to be unaware of what is needed, when we have the Spirit of the Creator of the universe living in us.

James 1:4-6 "…4 Allow perseverance to finish its work, so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. 6 But he must ask in faith, without doubting, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.…"

You Think You Know Better Than God?

Incredible arrogance to think we can know better than God and that He can "get it wrong." These people are placing themselves above God, thinking that He should do their bidding. Instead of realizing their own flaws, they assign flaws to God. Typical projection of narcissists is to blame others for their own sin and bad attitudes.

"I'M SO ANGRY AT GOD!" IS SATAN'S WORK!

I hear this all too often from people who feel they've been wronged by God for ignoring their prayers. This is the unfortunate and inevitable consequence of the false teachings of the Christian religion. It's become a very common practice that when a trial arises in a Christian person's life they respond to it by praying to God to fix it for them. And then when things don't go the way they would like they become angry with God for not hearing their prayers. They actually feel entitled to having their prayers heard based on what they've been taught at church. And what's been taught is if you simply say: "I believe," get baptized and show up for church each Sunday along with tithing the Lord will answer all your prayers. But instead their prayers are unanswered and they are left feeling disillusioned and angry toward God. This is Satan's work! To separate sinners from their Savior! Religion and it's false teachings serve mankind, not God. You would do well to see this truth and pay closer attention to EXACTLY what's written in your Bible rather than what you're hearing in church on Sunday. And to NEVER make the mistake of taking out your anger and disillusionment on God. You can trust He is doing everything He can to save you from yourself!

Self Reliance Doesn't Work

Self reliance only appears to work and only temporarily.

Sadly there are those who depend on "self reliance" to get them through life.

When we are reliant on Christ, we can speak the truth, live in transparency while the victory comes through Christ.

John 16:33 "33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”"

The Lord Prevailed, Hallelujah

Update on Rodger, after the casting away of the demons, he is on the mend. He feels a little tired and weak but the temperature is gone, the lymph nodes have diminished to almost no swelling, there were no night sweats last night and he was out watering plants in the yard this morning.

Praise the Lord for His mercy and protection. His recovery began immediately after the prayers against demonic activity and the next morning we saw a dramatic difference in him.

I cannot praise the Lord enough, it has been a long three weeks, God prevailed. Hallelujah!!!!

Psalm 34:19
“Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him out of them all.”
