Sometimes after meditating on something i feel condemned for, after meditating on the problem, i will find that i am right in my thinking and satin deceives me. And i walk in faith some more. Then i will feel a sudden urge to fall on my knees and confess what i already decided was good. I almost do, but remember that i am walking in faith and even if i fail i do so in faith, hopefully following his word in faith. I think that if i fail god will humble and correct me and i will still have my faith, God willing. and hopefully the trial that will bring my humbling won't be to severe and test my faith beyong it's limits. And i walk in faith some more. And then i think Satin has many tricks. Faith overcomes the tricks of the mind. I think...

Faith to me, is it real?

An update, yes i felt convicted, yet i did't know if satin deceived me or if my conscience was witnessing against me. I still don't. But i have come to the conclusion that i have a beam in my eye and i wish to help others get the splinter out of theirs. I feel guilty of judging others. This is no satanic lie, i am guilty. Forgive me people i must humble myself. I am a sinner and unworthy of anything yet i think i am good sometimes. I confess this sin in hopes it will not accuse me anymore, for now. Praise the lord jesus, i am nothing but think that i am and this is why i need Jesus to save me. Praise jesus. And my faith does remain, thank you father in jesus name. Praise jesus i am a sinner.

To repent of our sins is the sign that true faith is found within. That Jesus leads you in all things and your conscious maybe like a lightened light instead of accuse you with your wrongs.

Take courage brother it takes the dying of self in sin to be His rightful child, be greatly encouraged even.:thumbsup:



Song of Battle.

The arrows streak their flame.
I'm under attack again!
Opening the treasures of my defence,
His loving Word my only chance,
Of surviving the fiery weather.

"Do, don't, eat, abstain, go or stay."
Is what my inner attackers say.
Scornfully throwing their hate around.
My sins sissing at their sound.
With my own misery they surround.

Now one grabs me by the throat.
My life his scornful gloat.
"How can you trust in God's grace,
When I rub this dirt in your face?"
He demands in accuser's tone.

In humble voice I bow my head.
Lord can You hear what they said?
Yet who can charge Your elect?
Jesus sacrifice makes us perfect.
Please give me faith to stand.

His sword streaks its flame.
Attacking my enemies once again.
His loving Word fells them all.
In the fire of His love they fall,
A wonderful happy ending.

For Jesus is victorious over my sin.
Eternal life He for me did win.
Praises to Him from my heart swells.
As His Spirit of Truth in me dwells.
All glory to Him!

Thanks brother.

Sometimes i wonder if to admit sin is vanity within me
I am nothing without god except a proad fool
walking by faith gives me light so i can see
A rocky road indeed, satin get behind me.
i am free not bound by sin
Gods grace sustains my faith, God rebuke thee

Pride is a weakness that satin likes to take advantage of. He tells me i should speak when i shouldn't. He tells me to be impatient when i should be patient. He tells me to sin and i listen because i am sinful. Satin tells me to hate because he tells me it's love and i believe him. Walking in gods love makes satins tricks disappear by real power. Walking in love and humility by Faith is stronger than satins tricks.

satan is the accuser of the bretheren! and acts as an angel of light causing us to think it is God who is angry with us! How could God be angry with us when He unleashed all of His wrath upon Jesus in our place for all of our sin's past, present, and future! And forever put them to death within His own Body and nailed them to that forever blessed tree?

Our sins are washed away. God forgives us for our sins and remembers them no more. God is good. He is love. Praise Jesus for dieing for this awful sinner. Even now i am a sinner. God makes me right in his eyes by faith. The law condemns me and Jesus saves me. Satin is the father of many lies. Our conscience does condemn us though. I must humble myself and ask forgiveness allot. Praise Jesus. No matter if satin accuses me or not, my sins are washed away when I confess them

I would like to share something i was thinking about the other day.
I was thinking about how TV was a weapon of Satin. It desensitizes someone to love and when they read the bible they are repelled by it because they have been programmed to hate which drives out love. Hate is judging anyone better than your self i think. TV trains a person to judge, it glorifies all type of sin, its a powerful weapon satin uses to keep someone even a saved person from knowing the meaning of Gods love. Love is the key so satin seeks to destroy love with brainwashing or programming found on TV. I'm not just talking about politics, I'm talking about the glorifying of sin through movies, TV, music and even commercials. And not just the obvious sins either, TV has them all, a trap around every corner. Even self riotousness is programmed into us from TV.

If anyone wanted to know gods love i think they would need to change. TV gets in the way of gods change i think. TV makes God seem ridiculous to some and powerless to others. TV is a weapon against atheists, Christians and everyone else. TV creates many false images of God also. The almighty God looks weak on TV when in reality he is the master of the universe, the living GOD and the creator. Satin is in us or with us always. Give no foot hold the satin, TV is a good foothold for satin. If satin is our father we speak like him. TV is one big lie. Satin the father of lies uses TV to desensitize us to gods love. TV Is a good weapon in satins arsenal and its full of tricks.

I personally think much of our confusions are resolved if we spend time alone and quiet in the presence of the Lord. A place where he can minister and counsel and bring things to light in our spirit. There is a time to be silent and just wait in the presence of God, not waiting on something but just investing time spent alone and silent in the presence of God. Making our minds, our hearts our souls available for change. Much of Christianity has the burden of understanding and effort when the burden is supposed to be on God to make change in all areas. We need to make ourselves available for change and one part of that is stopping everything else and making every bit of ourselves available. A lot of people do a lot of work for him, but don't have enough contact with him and emphasis becomes their own efforts and eventually they go array in some area.

Yes i agree. The bible says some will go before god and say look at the good deeds i did in your name and he will say depart from me worker of iniquity i never new you. Theres more but that's what i remember.

TV to me is a weapon of satin. I screen everything i watch now and that don't leave much at first, but i do find allot of good stuff after i learn to weed out the stuff that gives satin a foothold in my thinking. There are all kinds of movies that i shouldn't watch. The screening part is important for me. TV is the work of satin through people, he controls their thinking and the stuff they create is a weapon for satin. But it can be for Good. All things work for the good of those that love god. All i need to do is not watch or think anything that makes me sin in my mind. As a man thinks so is that man. My scripture isn't an exact quote but still correct i think.

Yes brother GodIsreal36! Here is a parable of the false prophet called (((O Media))) of (((Tell-A-Vision))):
O Media...will you ever cease to Bable..on and Bable..on, O Babylon? From Babaling on and on about your "wars and rumors of wars", just so you can create the news for the next war!! So that you may have something else to Babylon about!! And then proceed to show us "earthquakes in diverse places" and "the waves of the sea roaring" due the tsumani's they are causing, and "nation rising against nation, and kingdom against kingdom" and "the distress and perplexity" these things are causing, and all " the famines and pestilences" and "the love of many growing cold because inquities abound!! Because the father of lies has raised up his mighty enemey (((The false good-news))) against the (((Gospel of GOD))) which is the (((True Good News)))!!!

So very true! These verses come to mind:Exodus 14:13 (KJV) And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.
Psalms 46:10 (KJV) Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

I went to bed with this thought in my head. TV is a weapon of satin however spending time with God does helps me allot in casting down these thoughts. If it were not for God, TV would have made me insane by now. I went to bed with that thought in my head, i felt the need to come back in here and agree with you again brother, someone has beat me to it. Praise Jesus friends. :)

Psalms 12:2-3 (KJV) Ps 2 They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak. 3 The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:

These two verses jumped out at me to day , as very profound! As to the deceit of satan which characterizes the political world today, and evangelical TV preachers of this day and time! Everyone, including myself at times, going about talking of nothing;but to "flatter" & be "flattered"! O Lord...how wretched i am! Save us O Lord from the body of this death!! Amen!!!

This is true brother but satin deceives us at times, accuses us when we only speak the truth. We probably all Flatter and seek to be flattered. I too struggle with this, wondering is it gods word in me speaking or is my sin talking? If i think it's satin talking i ask for forgiveness and help from God. Either way he knows the truth when i don't. But sometimes satin just wants you to shut up so he falsely accuses you of sinning when you don't, i think so anyways. If i use love as my guide when i talk, satin is at a disadvantage here, also Gods grace sustains me, my shield is strong against his arrows. You are right though brother, by all means Crucify your flesh. All i say is watch satin doesn't deceive you. If we speak the truth as much as possible for us in love, satin has no power i think. Love is patient and kind...you know the rest.

Maybe there is a right and wrong time for something to be said. Love decides when the right time is i think. Love is the greatest virtue and gift from God. If we have all the best gifts of the holy spirit but don't know love, we will fail. We will fail until we combine our gifts with love. I think so anyways.

It doesn't seem to make sense that our flesh seems to be more ready too believe the lies of satan than our spirit's are to believe in the truth of God's Word! Yet i don't give satan too much thought! Because...though he is real, yet i don't have to believe he is in my mind or entertain him within my thoughs, but believe by faith that Christ is continuously destroying his works in the Spiritual Realm for me, and giving all his mighty holy angels charge over me! Because to me worrying about satan or thinking that i'm continuously a victim in some way or another of his sceams! Seems to me to be superstituous, phobiestic type thinking & beliefs! Just a thought!

And then again...satan may be the very cause of the problem or may not! Either way,i am powerless over these realities,and must believe by faith that Christ is the One in Control of all of me,and every bad thing that His Grace see's fit to withdraw and allow me to say or do,and all the Good that His Grace by His Spirit Living within me allows me to do or say! That He is working (((all))) thing's...All of His Good & all of my bad, both of them together Only for my Good! Hopefully that wasnt to confusing! GOD Bless

no brother i understand you and totally agree. All things work for the good of those that love god. Not just a saying, its so true. Faith is our Shield when we're not sure, and god makes us sure in the end, thereby justifying our faith in him. He is good.
