    Stacie First God made us with freedom of will so no it's not that you don't have

    A choice it's that God being all knowing knows who will not believe. That may

    Sound like a fine line but again he gave us freedom of will. When your born again

    You have his gift of holy spirit but it's up to you to do his will to work the gift by

    His help. Again you operate not controlled!

    S.Spencer. Devil Spirits are the messengers of Satan or his spiritual army

    And he's the head. In the gospels when Jesus Christ sent out the twelve to!

    Minister he beheld Satan fall like lightning because He and they were tearing

    Up his influences unbelief disease sin etc.
  • S Spencer - 2 years ago
    Does God use vessels of dishonour and nations to perform his will?

    I believe so, here's a few reasons why

    Romans 9:18-23.

    Habakkuk 1:5-11. Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you.

    For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess the dwellingplaces that are not their's.

    They are terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity shall proceed of themselves.

    Their horses also are swifter than the leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves: and their horsemen shall spread themselves, and their horsemen shall come from far; they shall fly as the eagle that hasteth to eat.

    They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup up as the east wind, and they shall gather the captivity as the sand.

    And they shall scoff at the kings, and the princes shall be a scorn unto them: they shall deride every strong hold; for they shall heap dust, and take it.

    Then shall his mind change, and he shall pass over, and offend, imputing this his power unto his god.

    Another question asked is there such things as demon possession?

    Here's what I believe and I'm not sure if it classifies as demon possession.

    I believe there's ministers of Satan.

    2 Corinthians 11:14-15.

    These are amongst us everywhere we go and can be identified as tares. Matthew 13:36-42.

    EVIL SPIRITS.

    Satan is the prince of the world and he influences the flesh. the natural man. and the nations.

    1 John 4:1-3.

    These tares may also be seen in Jude 1:1-25.

    You can't always identify these tares with their Doctrine, some of their Doctrine sounds very familiar, but what they "seem" to believe in doesn't humble them and in areas of baring fruit they seems to be lacking. This causes a closer look at their theology and you find them taking a sharp left on the path.

    1 John 2:19.

    God bless."

    S.Spencer. In continuation a preacher came back from Africa and supposedly

    Gave an explanation of how someone acted possessed. No instruction on what

    To do or not to do. A woman who heard his teaching went home and her young

    Daughter had a temper tantrum kids do that,. Her mother thought she was

    Possessed and beat her to death with a baseball bat. Obviously she was locked

    Up because they thought she was insane! I have heard Christian's tell me so and

    So is possessed and I ask them why would God tell you that if there's nothing your

    Supposed to do about also the love of God thinketh no evil. If the spirit is telling you

    Something there is a reason. So they absolutely exist but remember they can only

    Be defeated by walking by the spirit and authority in the name of Jesus Christ.

    God Bless

    S.Spencer. There is no question that devil spirit not demon(not in scripture)

    Absolutely is real. Years ago a guy known for being a good father and community

    One day started developing constant headaches all of a sudden went to doctor

    Physician found nothing. A week later was hearing voices and bought a rifle

    Went up to a water tower and shot and killed 5 people. When he was arrested

    They ask him why did he do it his reply what are you talking about. That's

    Spiritual and there is no other deliverance except believing in and accepting our

    Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ! Years ago I was alone sleeping in a bed and I was awakened and felt something trying to crush me into the bed. I opened my eyes

    And there was nothing there but the pressure continued, I called out the name Jesus

    Christ and instantly pressure stopped and there was absolute peace. These are

    Invisible beings i.e. spirit but manifest themselves in horrible ways. Another point

    This field is nothing to play with if the spirit doesn,t tell you to do something don't!

    To be continued.

    John 17.11 is as good as it gets , but the number is unlimited
  • Blackfoot - In Reply - 2 years ago
    People do care Lenora , more importantly God cares , He sees everything and knows the hearts of absolutely everyone . None of our evilness escapes Him , God says that He will repay . We must endure but our reward for our patience and faith is with Him . Stay strong in Him and follow that perfect example set by His Son .
  • GiGi again on Exodus 33 - 2 years ago
    Exodus 33 continued...

    God promised to drive out all of the inhabitants of the Promised Land for the Israelites. It would be HIs working. The Israelites would have to trust Him, believe Him, and not try to do it themselves apart from Him. We must do the same. I am thankful we have the Holy Spirit dwelling in us to be the one who defeats our enemies who oppose God and us, His precious possession.

    YHWH said that the land was flowing with milk and honey. There are 20+ Scriptures that use this phrase for the Promised Land. I have always wondered what this phrase actually means. I did a quick inquiry on line and found some good points to mention.

    1. The Land was filled with grasslands and vegetation to sustain their livestock, so the females would be calving and giving milk.

    2. The Land was able to sustain many colonies of bees, which require vegetation for nectar and in turn, the bees pollinate the vegetation. so there was good symbiosis in the land among the plants and animals abiding there.

    3. The Land had nutrient rich soil (re: the cluster of grapes that was so large that two men were needed to carry it). the soil would yield bumper crops of food.

    4, Being a coastal region, the Marine climate from the Mediterranean would bring ample rain to provide water to drink and to grow food.

    5. In this time, the Land of Promise was most likely less desolate that today. It was well forested, which would require more rain then there is today.

    6. The reference to milk indicates that the land was suitable for farming and raising livestock to sustain the people's food needs.

    7. The reference to honey indicates that the land would provide beyond mere sustenance, but much delight and ease of living.

    These thoughts may help us understand the phrase better. I don't believe that the Scriptures ever defines this phrase.

    YHWH says that He will not go among the people on their journey, lest he consume them for being a stiff-necked people. The Angel would go with them.

  • Stacie - 2 years ago
    Are we truly predestined by God and I names written in the book of life and if so, then does this mean that no matter what we do or believe will not change our out come in wether we are chosen for heaven or hell or that our names are or are not written in the book of life? Also if so where do those who believe in God but their predestination was not by God for the book of eternal life then do those people just go to hell no matter how they much the believe or do?

  • Jo Ann Anderson - 2 years ago
    I am going to talk to a niece who is saved and hearing voices and changed over night. She doing things she would never do. Could this be satan and his angels making her walk on streets naked and shouting at strangers. I am a Christian and praying

    God can use me to help her. I have cancer and am not suppose to travel but I feel I need to do this. I live in

    New Mexico and she in California. Just
  • GiGi on Exodus 33 - 2 years ago
    Exodus 33

    Today I praise the Lord for His goodness!

    In this chapter we read what comes after the incident of the golden calf where we learned that sin, especially idolatry requires that God bring judgment upon the sinners. It is the most serious thing in all of creation because if God acted on His righteous judgment, humanity would have ended with Adam and Eve's sin in the Garden of Eden. They thought they would be like God and know how to direct their own life. We see in Exodus chapter 32 how the Israelites thought they could direct their own ways, too, and made an object that they thought could truly represent YHWH or even BE Him. How little did they know YHWH! We can fall into this same mindset if we do not increase our knowledge of God in Christ. We should endeavor to know Who God is from what He has revealed to us in His Word, in history, and especially in Jesus. Idolatry flourishes when true knowledge of God is limited. If one is not reconciled to God through Christ and not in the Word to learn of Him, one will have an inaccurate (and most often, too human-like) view of Who He is. We begin to think that He is altogether like us because we are made in His image. But such an image of Him, even in our thoughts, is idolatry.

    Yet we also learned in Ch. 32 that God accepted the intercession of Moses because He already had accepted the sacrifice of Jesus to atone for sin before the foundation of the world) and in doing so, showed mercy to this nation He brought out of Egypt.

    In Chapter 33, YHWH tells Moses to get up and move on into the way God directs them. YHWH says that they will go to the land He promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Despite the resistance and stubbornness of these people, YHWH was still going to fulfill his promise to these patriarchs. He will always be true and faithful to what He promised. His will will be done!

    He also promised to send His Angel to go before them and drive out the peoples between their location at Sinai and Canaan.

  • Jesse - In Reply on Revelation 2 - 2 years ago
    Jag,

    In revelation 2:5, Instruction is given to the church in Ephesus. It starts off by saying "Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen," Secondly, "and repent," and thirdly, "repeat the first work." So go back to the beginning in your approach to the things of Christ.

    Repentance means to make a decision for change. So, he says if you've lost the Lord as your number one priority, go back to the beginning and start over. You better evaluate where you stand. Repent. Repeat the first works in your surrender to Christ. Obviously it was not true repentance.

    And then in this same verse, we see the condemnation: He says or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove the lampstand out of its place, except you repent. The church at Ephesus was destroyed. There is no church in Ephesus, nor anywhere near Ephesus. They did not repent!

    Donna,

    Thank you for this great report on the work of our Lord in your life, in Daniel's and in Tasha's. I am so happy to hear that all of you have been ministered to by our Lord in great ways. I will continue to pray for Tasha and Daniel.

    Glad to hear that your breathing is so much better. I can say the same. Since I have not had a respiratory infection since I left my teaching job, I have rarely needed to use my rescue inhaler and have stopped taking the steroid inhaler. I do have a chronic cough that is more of an irritation than a concern. I can take cough medicine for it and then I am fine. It comes and goes. It is part of my asthma syndrome (cough variant asthma). But one the whole, I am, too doing much better.

    I am glad you have been able to stop smoking. I grew up in a smoking household and really hated being around it all the time. But as an adult, I avoid smoking environments as the smoke does cause my airways to react.

    Donna, I am so glad Tasha received such a good healing. I am glad Daniel completed his rehab. I am glad that you shared these victories rom the Lord. Hallelujah!
