2 Corinthians 4: 1. Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; 2. But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. 3. But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4. In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. 5. For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. 6. For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 7. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. 8. We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9. Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; 10. Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
We are in a transition period for those in Christ.
It's not a new thing, as Paul says We are troubled on every side.
For all of us, I believe we face personal battles that are stronger than ever.
The Thread that was posted before this one is a example, the attacks are real.
Now more than I realized that the Shield of Faith, is our most needed weapon.
I cannot think of Bible verses that apply any better than 2nd Corinthians ch.4.
Those of us who can need to stand in the gap for the weaker ones.
For anyone who denies the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, I urge you to seek God's truth.
Without the Holy Spirit in full manifestation , and with a Spirit of rebellion working in your mind, you are going to be tried and will question your Faith in God.
I personally do not care what your Denomation teaches, I know what the Bible teaches and that is the foundation of our life.
Christians today remind me of Israel when they began to fall away, in the Book of Judges.
They never recovered, they were put in bondage and suffered for their idolatry.
They could not see the Messiah, or read the Scriptures that clearly foretold His coming.
Many missed God with us, and many to this Day hold on to their religion.
You may not like this Word of Faith Fourm, remember it's much better than what life will be without like believers.
Wake up and look around.
