We Don't Have to Act Wickedly

Narcissists attack conscientious people, knowing that their conscience desires to be righteous, they prey on these people, hoping to convince them that something is wrong with them. If they can convince them something is wrong, they have greater control over them.

When we trust Christ we can have discernment, knowing the tactics of the devil, able to see things for what they are, removing all power from the devil and those he uses, whose aim is to destroy us.

Thankfully we are not under the power of the devil and the people he uses, we have Christ, we can resist and carry on in joy.

We do not have to be under the wicked thumb of those who serve the devil. We can combat the feelings of frustration by praying for their souls while refusing to believe their lies.

There are many who lack empathy and the fruit of God's Spirit, they are what they are because they are sinful.

1 John 3:8
"The one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil."



Shame Brings Change

"There is only change when there is a healthy sense of shame." Dr. Simon


Talking or Walking

If you are walking the walk, then I will believe your talk.

Walk First Then Your Talk is Credible



God Does Not Hear A Rebellious Heart

We need nothing more than what God has given us in His Word the Bible. He will not give more to someone who won't obey what we already have in the Word.

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.…"

John 9:31 "31 We know that God does not listen to sinners, but He does listen to the one who worships Him and does His will."

Psalm 66:18
If I regard wickedness in my heart, The Lord will not hear;

Hosea 5:6
They will go with their flocks and herds To seek the LORD, but they will not find Him; He has withdrawn from them.

The Difficult is also Good


When things go wrong, do you ask God, "why me"?

When things go as we want them to, do you ask the same question? "Why me."

God Does Not Contradict Himself

God never contradicts His own Word. If we believe God is telling us something, then we had better know the principle in His word that confirms the decision.

Far too many people think they are hearing from God, but they act in ways that violate His Word, if this is the case then the one they heard from is the devil not God.
