Thank you Sister, It has been a battle and I know I will be victorious because God is so wonderful.I'm not saying we do not get spiritual attacks, I know we do. But Scotty you have faced so much the last few weeks and you are greiving etc. I pray that in real life there be those who will listen, pray, support and encourage you through this time.
No friend I am not talking about me being in danger of being lukewarm, I am speaking to the people who are sitting comfortably in their walk with God.I don't see you are in any danger of being lukewarm. Perhaps the opposite, burning yourself out.
Our reward in heaven is friendship with God, everything else is secondary. The parable of ill gotten mammon being wisely spent is a metaphor for spending your time doing things that are appreciated by other people, not necessarily doing religiously prescribed tasks.
Eph 6:12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms
I am here for ya if you need to talk Friend . I am also praying for you JAM2bThank you for sharing this Scripture reference! I needed to read that right now.
You are never a burden Friend and please do if I can help you at all :]Thank you! I almost sent you a private message, but I changed my mind because I don't want to burden you when you have so much on your plate.
I can have a hiatus of a month or two and slowly the devil starts working again. If you are truly born again you should be able to rebuke the demon/devil/Satan in the name of Jesus. There is power in the name of Jesus for we who are in Christ Jesus and He in us. Never try to remove this on your own but through the power of Jesus Christ.
Ummm, the double minded man comes to mind, living one foot in the world so to speak. Satan dwells there and is able to sneak in through a crack in your armor. Read James 1:8, the Lord gave me this verse for myself a couple of years ago.
Luke 10:19-20I think people should reconsider rebuking the devil. Yes, Messiah did that, but we are never told to do that ourselves.
Jude 1:9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke you.
I personally can't imagine any circumstance in which I couldn't talk to the Father or His Son rather than to the devil. When I have felt spiritually attacked it has helped me many times to simply say, "Thank You Abba that I know that greater is Yahushua" aka Jesus "Who is in me than he who is in the world." It works fine for me anyway. Every time.
James 4:7 Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
I pray you will be cautious, though, Scotty. You have such good intentions, but Proverbs tells us to be discrete in evil times. Messiah told us NOT to give what is holy to the dogs and NOT to cast our pearls before the swine. Now some who seem holy are not and some who seem like swine or dogs may be redeemed. How can we ever tell which are which? Well, we usually can't. But the Holy Spirit can. I pray that you, and all of us, will be guided and protected by the Holy Spirit.No friend I am not talking about me being in danger of being lukewarm, I am speaking to the people who are sitting comfortably in their walk with God.
Jesus says He didn't come to bring peace, But division and so we should expect to be persecuted for our faith. [those powers and principalities] Notice how the world is in rebellion against the Word of God.
People are satisfied with the status quo and that to me is sad. There are people who need saved so let's go get em!!
Born again believers have the authority to use the name and power of Jesus to send Satan or more likely his minions fleeing ( Satan is not omnipresent, he has forces and demons though, lots of them). We can also just agree with God on matters that are bothering us that may be from the dark side. Just aligning with God is sometimes rebuke enough. I thought in my other post or posts that I made it clear, It is not us rebuking but Jesus Christ..I think people should reconsider rebuking the devil. .
I agree, but how do I go into jails and prisons and know the difference? I just love on them all and try and help them as best as I can. The ones released will often come to church and try, Some fall away and some are doing great, There is just noway to know, so I give everyone equal treatment and it bites me in the tail oftentimes lol. I had to learn some valuable lessons over the years that, Not everybody is really completely honest, lolI pray you will be cautious, though, Scotty.

Well, if the Holy Spirit leads you to go into jails and prisons, ya gotta go. When He leads He knows good will come of it. And if you are loving on them, you are doing just what He wants.I agree, but how do I go into jails and prisons and know the difference?

I pray and study the Word as Eph 6 says and ask the Holy Spirits guidance and protection every day, But the evil hasn't been fleeing lately so I hope I haven't done something wrong and I really hope it is as a minister prophesied " a "strengthening process"
