*SIN GROWS THE WAY CHILDREN GROW*

God designed creation to teach us spiritual realities.

A child begins as a fertilized egg. Something invisible eventually becomes a person everyone can see.

Sin works exactly the same way.

James says desire conceives. Then it gives birth to sin. When sin matures, it gives birth to death.

Everything begins as a seed.

No one suddenly wakes up committing terrible acts overnight. The visible action started as an invisible thought.

The thought was entertained. The desire was welcomed. The seed was allowed to grow.

Many people wonder how someone ends up destroying their family, committing terrible crimes, or living in complete bondage.

The answer is not that evil appeared instantly. It was carried and fed.

This is why believers must become ruthless with sinful thoughts. Do not wait until the fruit appears. Destroy the seed.

The easiest battle to win is the one fought before the enemy has grown. The hardest battle is the one you postponed for years.

Do not allow sinful desires to develop into habits. Do not allow habits to become character.

Abort the process while it is still in the stage of temptation. That is wisdom.

"Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death." (James 1:15)

In this spiritual battle for victory and reigning in life we need to deal with that weapon the devil uses to delay our victories before we lose all hope and surrender in defeat and long time regrets.

May The Lord help us to deal with seed while it is still in it's infant stage.

Happy weekend!

Be VERY CAREFUL concerning the purchase or promotion of books authored by persons who are not widely known or deemed to be in variation to Scripture, within the larger community of Christianity.
DO YOUR RESEARCH !
It the contents do NOT 'Tally' or seem to contradict basic Scripture, leave well alone !
Satan will use ANY means of deceiving God's Children.
I could be specific but will resist the temptation. Here is a most interesting video.

He grew up in a pub and became a cabinet maker. He wrote one of the greatest hymns of faith walking to work. He didn't enter full-time ministry until he was 55.
Edward Mote was born in 1797 in Cripplegate, London — in rooms above his parents' public house. He later described his upbringing in striking terms: his parents were not churchgoers and gave him no religious instruction whatsoever. By his own account, he entered adulthood knowing essentially nothing of God or faith.
As a teenager, he was apprenticed to a cabinet maker and heard a sermon by a preacher named John Hyatt at Tottenham Court Road Chapel. That sermon broke something open in him, and his life changed entirely.
He remained a cabinet maker for decades — a respected craftsman, devout in his private faith, but not a minister or church leader. In his spare time he wrote occasional verse and devotional poetry.
One Sunday morning in the 1830s, he was walking through London to his workshop when words and music began forming in his mind without particular invitation. By the time he arrived, most of a hymn was already there:
"My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus' blood and righteousness. I dare not trust the sweetest frame, but wholly lean on Jesus' name."
He worked through the day — wood and words simultaneously — finishing both the cabinet work and the hymn before evening. That same Sunday, he visited a friend whose wife was gravely ill. The family were searching for something to sing together. He pulled the paper from his coat pocket and they sang his morning's work at her bedside.
He became a Baptist pastor at 55 years old — over three decades after his conversion, after a lifetime of faithful obscurity as a craftsman. He served Rehoboth Baptist Chapel in Horsham, Sussex for 26 years.
When his congregation tried to transfer the title deeds of the church building to him as a gift, he refused. He said the church belonged to Jesus Christ and it would be wrong to put anyone else's name on it.
He died in 1874.
"On Christ the solid rock I stand. All other ground is sinking sand."

A Deliverance Ministry for the Body of Christ.
I offer free help to guide Christians needing help with receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit, how to receive answers to your prayers, how to receive wisdom and guidance from God, how to receive Divine healing, speaking in new tongues, spiritual warfare principles, how to receive salvation and all God’s promises, how to get free from sins that allow Satanic attacks, deeper deliverance, occult deliverance, deliverance and renunciation prayers to receive freedom from fear, depression, anxiety, worry, doubt, unbelief, and demon oppression. I also offer free Biblical counseling to those who are serious.

Deliverance and healing are the result of true repentance and salvation. If you're walking in truth and righteousness then you can believe God for healing and deliverance. Deliverance is no shortcut to living a separated life. A separated life is necessary to receiving the promises of God and all He has for you. 2 Corinthians 6:17-18 Therefore “Come out from among them And be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive you.” “I will be a Father to you, And you shall be My sons and daughters, Says the Lord Almighty.” 2 Corinthians 7:1 Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

You must be a Christian or become a Christian now to receive deliverance. Deliverance is only for God's children (Matthew 15:26; 1 John 3:10). You can still join this group if you are not a Christian and want to learn how God can set you free. Please read the "Christian Guidance; Receiving Freedom from Oppression" document below and follow the instructions in it. Also please read the links at the bottom of it and study them. It's necessary to receive your deliverance.
After saying the deliverance prayers, let me know, and I will intercede for you privately by myself and rebuke any oppression. Jesus is the deliverer. You do not have to read any information in any of the links in the Christian Guidance: Receiving Freedom From Oppression document until after I pray and intercede for you. It takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes to read the document.

CHRISTIAN GUIDANCE: RECEIVING FREEDOM FROM OPPRESSION.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/11Qw6uIMmoQFwUiRA3oTBNyo1JEIQ_Llf9s0JHio-1lg/edit?usp=sharing

We offer guidance on how to receive deliverance and Divine healing and answer people’s questions. We do not offer in person deliverance at this time or audio calls or video calls, maybe in the future. Also, many people do not receive deliverance from a quick prayer but need to learn what faith is and use it to believe God's promises in His word and not doubt. With proper teaching and instructions one can have heart faith and not head faith. The Christ the healer book by F.F Bosworth explains the biblical conditions to receive salvation, healing, and deliverance from Jesus. This free eBook is in the links section at the bottom of the "Christian Guidance; Receiving Freedom from Oppression" document we offer. We help those who are serious and want to meet the biblical conditions. It’s near impossible to help those who become defensive and unrepentant. Many want to stay in sin and not give up a worldly sinful life. They desire a quick fix from the consequences of their sin and then receive no deliverance. Many do not want to learn faith and believe God for His promises for healing and deliverance. This explains why they receive nothing or very little to start with. You can hinder your deliverance by not following what Jesus expects of you. The responsibility is on you to meet the Biblical conditions to receive salvation, healing, deliverance and answers to prayer. The responsibility is not on God but on you to believe all God has for you.

In person deliverance has its place. At times having hands laid on you to cast out demons can help. But you must be careful who you choose to go to. Ask questions and check out their ministry and what they believe and how they do things. As the Bible says, “lay hands suddenly on no man” (1 Timothy 5:22) because if you do not know them, their ministry or what they believe, and they lay hands on you, they could transfer an unclean spirit to you. We have dealt with this in people. There are many unscriptural ministries, self appointed apostles and prophets so caution must be used or dangerous results can happen even though your intentions were right. Remember deliverance is a walk not instantaneous at times. At times nothing comes right away or little. More and more comes over time as you use your faith, believing God's word and promises for your healing and deliverance. Many Christians do not want to meet the biblical conditions so they receive nothing and then doubt God's word if it’s even true today. Please take the time to read and get the Biblical teaching and instruction so you understand and can believe God for your deliverance and healing. All the promises of God are to be received by faith.

In heavy oppression cases, the person suffering heavy attacks must learn what faith is, how to use their spiritual weapons and constantly and consistently hold faith and the blood of Jesus to these demons until they release. Most will not but keep looking for the easy way out, going to this person and that person, thinking this is the answer, bewildered why God won't deliver them in spite of all the rebuking and prayer.

Carefully read the "Christian Guidance; Receiving Freedom from Oppression" document and books in the links at the bottom of it. This is a step by step process to total freedom. You must learn the importance of what you say, what you believe, how to resist the devil effectively when he attacks, what faith is and how to use it as a weapon to overcome attacks against you. You will see what changes need to be made in how you think, pray, resist, and speak so victory can come.

I specialize in helping people that have tried others and are not yet set free. You will learn spiritual warfare principles, how to resist the devil, live in faith, and walk out your deliverance and experience total freedom that often comes gradually over time. Almost all the work and reading is going to be done by you as it is your responsibility and no one else’s. You will learn how to keep your deliverance when you get it and not lose it.
