• HOW TO KNOW GOD'S WILL FOR IMPORTANT DECISIONS IN YOUR LIFE. Part 5 of 6.
    How God Makes Known His Will for Specific Decisions and Needs. Continued.
    God is under no obligation to fulfill the promise in James 1:5 to give us wisdom unless we are willing to meet the conditions for obtaining it. Moreover, God declares that He only answers prayer when the motive is right, and that mere asking is not sufficient (Jam. 4:3). Frequently the Christian prays for guidance, or a revelation of God's will about some matter, but already has his mind made up as to what he wants to do, or how he would like for God to answer. Some people have been known to lie awake all night pleading with God to answer their prayer with no higher motive than the desire to persuade Him to come over to their side and give them their own way.

    Therefore, it is just as great a fallacy to emphasize the notion which is so popular today that prayer is the solution to all our problems, as it is to neglect prayer, using it only in an emergency. That is to say, we find the unscriptural idea being promoted on every hand that mere prayer is supposed to be the panacea for all our needs. In every time of crisis, when problems or troubles arise, when a difficult or seemingly impossible situation confronts us, the first thing most people advise is prayer.

    "Have you tried prayer?" they will ask. Or we are told, quite sincerely, "Did you know, prayer changes things?" They do not tell us, of course, just how prayer will change things, nor do they
    teach us how to pray about the problem confronting us. We are not advised, furthermore, as to whether or not God requires anything from us in the matter. "Just pray" we are told, "for prayer usually helps."

    However, as we have seen, God clearly states that He does not answer every prayer, in fact, He emphatically declares that He does not even hear our prayers unless they meet the conditions
    He has set forth in His Word. One of the most important conditions we must meet when asking for divine wisdom and guidance is that we must ask in faith, believing, without any reservations, that God will answer our request. This is clearly stated in James 1:5-7: "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraids not; and it shall be given him. But how? Let him ask in faith, nothing doubting; for he that doubts is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord."

    The prayer of faith is simply a prayer of expectation. What God tells us here in James 1:5-7 is that when we ask for divine wisdom and guidance we should pray expecting Him to grant
    our desire.
    Moreover, the prayer of faith is to be offered but once, for Jesus tells us in Mark 11:24, 'What things soever you desire, when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you shall have them." Faith asks but once for God to fulfill a promise. To continue to pray, pleading with God to answer, is our confession that I do not really believe that He has answered when we pray as He tells us to do (Mark 11:24).

    In view of this fact, if we pray ten times for the same promise, we have prayed nine times in unbelief, for faith knows when to stop praying about the promise and start praising God for the
    answer. There is a time to stop praying or you will pray yourself out of faith. When is this? You should always stop praying for a promise when you believe you have received the answer. Since
    Jesus tells us to believe we have received when we pray, quite obviously we should do our believing and receiving when we pray. Then we should cease praying for the answer and begin
    praising God that the manifestation of the answer is on the way.

    Jesus does not say in Mark 11:24 that the symptoms will improve immediately when we pray, or that the circumstances will show immediate change, but that we are to believe that He has both heard and granted our petition when we pray and that we shall have it. Faith keeps a distinction between accepting the answer and receiving it to our sight. We are to accept the answer when we pray (believe that God has granted our petition), and we shall have it (manifested to our sight). Merely because we do not see it immediately does not mean that God has not heard our petition and granted the answer, but only that He has not manifested the answer as yet.

    The question often arises concerning the widow and the judge in Luke 18, as to whether or not Jesus here approves of repetition in prayer for the same thing. This is not, however, an instance of repetition prayer, for Jesus would not contradict Himself elsewhere, but here He is stressing the need of persistence and perseverance in prayer; that is, holding onto a promise by faith, reaffirming daily, by praise and thanksgiving, that we believe that He has heard and granted our petition. In Matthew 6:7-8, Jesus condemns repetition prayer as typical of the prayers of
    the heathen, saying, "But when you pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking," but "when you pray believe that you receive" (Mk. 11:24).

    Our first concern, therefore, when guidance from heaven is needed is not merely to resort to the shallow suggestion we so often hear today that one should "try prayer" as it may help, but
    it should be a time of searching the Word, and then our hearts, to see if we are fulfilling the conditions for God hearing our prayers and granting our petitions.

    As A. W. Tower once remarked, the popular notion that God always answers prayer (with "yes" or "no") is a device of Satan to deceive the carnal or indifferent Christian whose request was not answered because of his failure to meet God's conditions. To think that God always answers prayer, even if He says "no," is to take God's refusal to answer a disobedient Christian as the answer itself, contending, "Well, after all, God did answer me - He said 'no'." Such a view of prayer is contrary to Scripture, for God clearly states that He does not even hear those prayers which are not in harmony with His will (1 Jn 5:14-15; Ps. 66:18). Moreover, if an individual erroneously believes the popular notion that God always answers any prayer, and that "no" can also be an answer, then this person is never challenged to face the fact that his failure to receive an answer was due to his disobedience, lack of faith, or his failure to meet some other condition.

    I can personally testify to the fact that when we are careful to meet the scriptural requirements, then God delights in directing our steps, giving divine guidance and wisdom concerning those
    matters we place before Him. Thank God it is true, if any man lacks wisdom he may ask of
    God and it shall be given to him. Do you need wisdom or guidance in some important matter?
    Have you tried asking God, and in faith expecting Him to answer you? You are invited to do so in James 1:5.

    By Direct Revelation;
    As stated at the beginning of Chapter 2, there are eight scriptural methods by which God's will is revealed - three are active, in which we take the initiative, and five are passive, whereby we become the recipients of divine revelation concerning God's will for us. Passive revelation always comes to us unsought.

    Direct revelation may be either by vision, as in the case of Paul's vision in Acts 16 which was revelation of God's will for him to carry the Gospel into Europe; by direct voice, as seen in the case of God's call of Samuel (1 Sam. 3); by angelic visitation, as, for example, in the angel's visit to Mary and his revelation to her of the birth of Christ; or by dream, as we find, for instance in God's revelation to Daniel of the establishment of His Kingdom (Dan. 7).

    Jesus promised to continue revelation to the Church after His ascension, saying, Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself, but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak; and he will show you things to come (Jn. 16:13).
    When the Church lost the experience of the baptism in the Holy Spirit, she closed the channel and source of revelation. As a consequence, the Church changed her theology to conform
    with her experience, and there arose the erroneous concept that God purposed that all revelation was to cease with the apostles in the first century. It is interesting that there is not a word in the Scriptures to support this theory, but, on the contrary, God clearly states in 2 Corinthians 12-14 and Ephesians 4:11 that He has set in the church the gifts and ministries of revelation. In Romans 12:3-6 and 1 Corinthians 14 He admonishes us to ask for and use the gift of prophecy. In Joel 2 He clearly promises that in the last days "I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams" (2:17); While He promised in John 16:13, quoted above, to continue revelation to the Church through the Holy Spirit whom He would send. The various methods by which He would give His people direct revelation are stated to be by means of prophecy, vision and dream (Num. 12:6; Acts 2:17-18; 1Cor. 12; 14), by direct voice and vision (Jn. 16:13), "speak"' and "show" and on occasion, by angelic visitation (e.g. Luke 1; Acts 10:12; 27:23-24; cf. Heb. 13:2).

    It is important that we understand that although God occasionally uses each of the passive methods of revelation to unveil His will to us when He so chooses, we should not seek guidance by these means.

    Why does God choose the direct means of revelation, as, for example, through visions and dreams as a method of communication of His will and purpose? Why does He not merely illumine our minds as to His will as we pray or read His Word seeking guidance?

    Among other reasons, occasionally He must speak directly to us because of the urgency of the matter about which we are seeking guidance which must be dealt with immediately, or in a certain way, often contrary to what our wisdom and logic might tell us to do. At other times He speaks directly, imparting instruction or guidance, not concerning some matter about which we are praying, but about some important purpose which He wants to accomplish in or through us, which could only be made known to us by direct revelation. Again He speaks to us in visions for the obvious reason that one picture is worth a thousand words.

    God sometimes communicates His will to us through dreams, inasmuch as the state of sleep has certain definite advantages. At this time the conscious mind is at rest and is free from distractions. The spirit, of course, remains awake and can accept without analyzing and questioning what God desires to impart to us. Moreover, through the medium of vision and dream God can impress upon us revelation which transcends the sense realm and the ability of the intellect alone to comprehend. In some instances, God speaks directly in an audible voice
    in order to instruct us or reveal His will in some matter.

    By Indirect Revelation:
    God speaks to us occasionally by direct means, but generally He communicates His will to us indirectly. It may in the form of an inward knowing or witness in our spirit, or it may come as an inner witness to our spirit, or it may come as an inner witness from the Holy Spirit. At other times the Holy Spirit may give the guidance we need by the illumination of our minds to understand and interpret some portions of scripture which He will direct us to, or by giving the necessary wisdom and insight we require to make the correct decision concerning some matter about which we have prayed for direction.

    It is in the realm of indirect revelation that the importance of being completely yielded to the Holy Spirit is so evident, as was pointed out in the first chapter. To the extent one is yielded to the Spirit will he be sensitive to His voice when He speaks, and to the extent one is sensitive to His voice will he be able to respond. Moreover, there are many voices seeking to influence the believer, some of which are from God and some are not. Unless one is fully yielded he may be insensitive to the voice of the Spirit, or be deceived and ensnared by that which is false. A small puppy will respond to anyone who calls or offers it a crust of bread, but a well trained mature dog will not do so. It is sensitive only to the voice of its owner. It did not get this way by spending all its time running and playing with the other dogs, but it is the result of devoting long hours in discipline and training, learning to obey and respond to the voice of its master. We become sensitive to the influence and leading of the Spirit in the same manner.

    God is preparing His children for spiritual warfare ahead which will consist of men and women who will be so sensitive to the voice of the Spirit they will respond immediately and obey without question. Like a computer, they will be able to filter out that which is false and sense any error immediately. They will not have to call the pastor and ask if this or that doctrine is scriptural, or whether the prophecy which they heard is true or false, or whether or not some task they feel led to undertake is from God, the flesh, or the devil. However, the only way the believer will become sensitive will be through total consecration to Jesus and fully yielding to the Spirit.

    At present we find Christians so untrained in the Scriptures and so insensitive to the voice of the Spirit that many frequently will reject what God is saying and allow themselves to be deceived by that which is false and unscriptural, just as Jesus predicted would occur in these last days (Matt 24; 2 Tim 4:1-4). Again and again we are hearing of those who are falling victim to various errors, such as ultimate reconciliation where God will save everyone regardless if they repent or not including the devil and his demons, false hyper-grace gospel where a Christian does not need to confess sin after he is saved or does not need repentance to stay in fellowship with God, errors on the Godhead where they deny that the Father, Son, Holy Spirit are co-eternal and co-equal, once saved always saved that it does not matter how a person lives his life after salvation, we are all sinners even after salvation and no need to live a consecrated life, the give to get carnal prosperity gospel where you give me money and 100 fold comes back so you will be rich. Or the heresy taught by some that Jesus had to become a sinner on the cross to redeem us and suffered three days in hell tormented by demons.

    We find others, in a time where we are witnessing the revival of all forms of the occult, being deluded by believing everything supernatural is from heaven, and everyone who prophesies, has a vision, or predicts the future is from God. We find men and women calling themselves Apostles and Prophets commonly now who were never appointed or anointed from heaven but self-appointed deceiving many. As Jesus said, take heed lest YOU be deceived. (Matt 24:4)

    DISCERNING THE VOICE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
    AND RECOGNIZING THE WITNESS WITHIN;

    In order to mature in faith and become effective instruments in God's hands so that we will be in the right place at the right time, doing the right thing, it is necessary for us to learn how to
    recognize the inner witness of the Spirit, as well as discern the voice of the Holy Spirit. These are the two basic ways by which God leads and directs His people, whether in answer to some prayer for guidance, or in order to fulfill His will and purpose in their lives. We find that God frequently endeavors to speak to His people by means of the voice of His Spirit in order to
    direct guide, teach, or influence them along some line, but since they have not been taught how to discern His voice He often goes unheeded. Jesus said, "My sheep hear my voice and they follow me" Jn. 10:27). How can they follow Him if they do not know how to discern His voice? He certainly did not mean that He intended to shout down out of heaven in order to direct them, but He did promise that He would speak to them by His Spirit which would be within them: "Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you in all truth" (John 16:13), and "he shall teach you in all things" (14:26).

    Some Christians are waiting for God to give them a revelation through a vision or prophecy concerning His will for them, or regarding some important matter about which they are praying,
    when, if they only realized it, God is already trying to communicate His will to them by His Spirit within them. If they would spend a little more time in His Word and in prayer, and be willing to get still before Him for a while, then they would begin to discern His voice and hear Him speaking inwardly to their spirits.

    The inner voice of the Holy Spirit is the voice of God speaking directly to your spirit in order to guide, admonish, teach, warn, or influence you concerning some matter (about which you may or may not be praying).

    God also enables us to know His will regarding some matter about which we are praying, or about some question which concerns us, by means of a witness within. This is an inward
    knowing in your spirit that a certain contemplated action on your part, or some doctrine, or revelation, for example, is right or wrong. Not only is the Christian the temple of the Holy Spirit,
    Who abides within to speak the direct revelation of God's will to him (Jn 16:13; 1 Cor. 2:10-13), but he also has, by virtue of the new birth, a new heart to discern spiritual things himself, and know the will of God intuitively by his own spirit (1 Cor. 2:14-16). He has received an anointing which abides in him and teaches him all things (1 Jn. 2:27).

    Thus, we find that it is also through his own enlightened spirit that the Christian is able by an inward knowing or witness to discern whether or not something is right or wrong. Let us say, for example, that you are praying about some matter about which you must make a decision, such as whether or not to buy a certain piece of property, marry a particular individual, or accept an invitation to speak to some religious group. If after thinking and praying about the question you find that inwardly there is a positive confirmation in your spirit to go ahead in the matter, or, you find that you experience a sense of uncertainty, reluctance, or heaviness of spirit, then this is an inner witness in your spirit informing you of God's will in the matter.

    In the former instance, your spirit was witnessing to you to go ahead, and in the latter, it was a warning not to take the proposed action. The witness within is an inward knowing intuitively, through the enlightened spirit of a Christian, that a certain contemplated action, a doctrine, some individual, or a ministry, for instance, is right or wrong, whereas the inner voice of the Holy Spirit is God speaking directly by His Spirit within you concerning some matter. It must be stressed, however, that the inward witness and the inner voice of the Spirit are not merely some "feeling" we may have about a matter. They have nothing to do with what one feels either with the physical senses or the emotions. It is either an inward knowing (inner witness) that something is right or wrong, or it is an inner awareness that the Spirit of God is speaking directly to our spirit about some matter (inner voice of the Spirit).

(Matt 24:4) DISCERNING THE VOICE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND RECOGNIZING THE WITNESS WITHIN; In order to mature in faith and become effective instruments in God's hands so that we will be in the right place at the right time, doing the right thing, it is necessary for us to learn how to recognize the inner witness of the Spirit, as well as discern the voice of the Holy Spirit. These are the two basic ways by which God leads and directs His people, whether in answer to some prayer for guidance, or in order to fulfill His will and purpose in their lives. We find that God frequently endeavors to speak to His people by means of the voice of His Spirit in order to direct guide, teach, or influence them along some line, but since they have not been taught how to discern His voice He often goes unheeded. Jesus said, "My sheep hear my voice and they follow me" Jn. 10:27). How can they follow Him if they do not know how to discern His voice? He certainly did not mean that He intended to shout down out of heaven in order to direct them, but He did promise that He would speak to them by His Spirit which would be within them: "Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you in all truth" (John 16:13), and "he shall teach you in all things" (14:26). Some Christians are waiting for God to give them a revelation through a vision or prophecy concerning His will for them, or regarding some important matter about which they are praying, when, if they only realized it, God is already trying to communicate His will to them by His Spirit within them. If they would spend a little more time in His Word and in prayer, and be willing to get still before Him for a while, then they would begin to discern His voice and hear Him speaking inwardly to their spirits. The inner voice of the Holy Spirit is the voice of God speaking directly to your spirit in order to guide, admonish, teach, warn, or influence you concerning some matter (about which you may or may not be praying). God also enables us to know His will regarding some matter about which we are praying, or about some question which concerns us, by means of a witness within. This is an inward knowing in your spirit that a certain contemplated action on your part, or some doctrine, or revelation, for example, is right or wrong. Not only is the Christian the temple of the Holy Spirit, Who abides within to speak the direct revelation of God's will to him (Jn 16:13; 1 Cor. 2:10-13), but he also has, by virtue of the new birth, a new heart to discern spiritual things himself, and know the will of God intuitively by his own spirit (1 Cor. 2:14-16). He has received an anointing which abides in him and teaches him all things (1 Jn. 2:27). Thus, we find that it is also through his own enlightened spirit that the Christian is able by an inward knowing or witness to discern whether or not something is right or wrong. Let us say, for example, that you are praying about some matter about which you must make a decision, such as whether or not to buy a certain piece of property, marry a particular individual, or accept an invitation to speak to some religious group. If after thinking and praying about the question you find that inwardly there is a positive confirmation in your spirit to go ahead in the matter, or, you find that you experience a sense of uncertainty, reluctance, or heaviness of spirit, then this is an inner witness in your spirit informing you of God's will in the matter. In the former instance, your spirit was witnessing to you to go ahead, and in the latter, it was a warning not to take the proposed action. The witness within is an inward knowing intuitively, through the enlightened spirit of a Christian, that a certain contemplated action, a doctrine, some individual, or a ministry, for instance, is right or wrong, whereas the inner voice of the Holy Spirit is God speaking directly by His Spirit within you concerning some matter. It must be stressed, however, that the inward witness and the inner voice of the Spirit are not merely some "feeling" we may have about a matter. They have nothing to do with what one feels either with the physical senses or the emotions. It is either an inward knowing (inner witness) that something is right or wrong, or it is an inner awareness that the Spirit of God is speaking directly to our spirit about some matter (inner voice of the Spirit). Edited. Shared. To be Continued. ❤️ God willing, more will be posted soon. All glory to Jesus alone.

  • DEMONS IN MULTITUDES OF CHURCHES
    KUNDALINI


    .

    THANKS TO GERALD W THOMAS


    .

    KUNDALINI
    THE FALSE HOLY SPIRIT
    THE FALSE RUACH HAQODESH
    THE FALSE SET-APART SPIRIT
    HAS INFILTRATED MANY CHURCHES


    .

    Yoga IS a Religion, and its purpose is to awaken one's Kundalini. What is "KUNDALINI"?

    In Hinduism, KUNDALINI is actually a goddess that resides at the base of the spine and is awakened by the practice of Yoga. In other words, it is a demon.

    YOGA is simply an invitation to demonic possession.

    The KUNDALINI SPIRIT gained access to the Western world from India through New Age teaching. It is popularly known as Yoga. Don't for a minute think that Yoga is harmless. Yoga is an inherent part of Hindu philosophy which teaches man and nature are one with divinity.

    In KUNDALINI Yoga, there are seven sensitive points (chakras) that have a serpent at the base of the spine. The serpent works through each chakra that is open until it reaches the penal gland (which most consider the third eye), until you then realize you are a god…does this sound familiar?



    And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:

    For ELOHIYM knows that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as elohiym, knowing good and evil.

    RE’SHIYTH (GENESIS) 3:4-5 Eth Cepher



    Signs one's KUNDALINI has been awakened:
    Involuntary jerks, tremors, shaking, itching, tingling, and crawling sensations, especially in the arms and legs



    Energy rushes or feelings of electricity circulating the body
    Intense heat (sweating) or cold, especially as energy is experienced passing through the chakras



    Spontaneous pranayama, asanas, mudras and bandhas



    Visions or sounds at times associated with a particular chakra



    Diminished or conversely extreme sexual desire sometimes leading to a state of constant or whole-body orgasm


    Emotional upheavals or surfacing of unwanted and repressed feelings or thoughts with certain repressed emotions becoming dominant in the conscious mind for short or long periods of time.



    Headache, migraine or pressure inside the skull



    Increased blood pressure and irregular heartbeat



    Emotional numbness
    Antisocial tendencies
    Mood swings with periods of depression or mania



    Pains in different areas of the body, especially back and neck
    Sensitivity to light, sound and touch



    Trance-like and altered states of consciousness
    Disrupted sleep pattern (periods of insomnia or oversleeping)



    Loss of appetite or overeating
    Bliss, feelings of infinite love and universal connectivity, transcendent awareness



    If you know anything about spiritual warfare and exorcism, many of these symptoms are red flags for demonic possession. So, should a Follower of Messiah practice Yoga?

    A better question is: Do you want to invite demons into your body and break the First Commandment by practicing a religion that believes there are elohiyms (gods) other than the ELOHIYM of the Scriptures?

    Now let's look at KUNDALINI in :THE TORAH/TANACH

    You shall have no other elohiym before me.

    SHEMOTH (EXODUS) 20:3 Eth Cepher



    KUNDALINI is an anti-Messiah spiritual counterfeit of the RUACH HAQODESH (Set-Apart (Holy) Spirit).

    We need To Bind This Serpent Spirit, Cast It Out, and for every Scripture Preacher And Teacher to Discern this Spirit and close the church doors to its Occult Operations.



    Scriptural passages that do mention stuff like shaking, crying, laughing, and so on cannot be interpreted into the “fruits” that MASHIACH speaks about since fruits rather refers to acts of repentance (LUKE 3) and Spiritual fruits like love, joy and peace (GALATIONS)

    Scriptures DO show how False Spirits Mimic The RUACH HAQODESH (Set-Apart (Holy) Spirit), like when Pharaoh’s Wizards turned their staffs into Snakes just like Moses did through The Power Of YHWH. If you just focus on the outer appearance you can Mix The True with The False.

  • Hello chat, I don't why on earth I'm not able to catch a break since 2026 started. To begin with, in the month of February, I'd got viral gastroenteritis which I got rid of in a month or two. Surge over to the month of the June, I came to realise that I have worms and parasites in my stomach. I got rid of them in July but got a leaky gut due to the parasites eating up my gut lining. I took the necessary supplements to send the symptoms into complete remission. Now finally in the end of July, I met with an accident which has somewhat torn my knee tendon. Please pray for me that I recover from this and maybe also tell me why God is taking away my health bit by bit and if he promises to restore twice of what he's taken from me, alluding to Job's story.

    Return to your stronghold, O prisoners of hope; today I declare that I will restore to you double.

  • Gods Creation, 100 / evolution, 0
    I came across this question again today. A lot of atheists present it like it's a gotcha:

    "If God is so good, why would He allow cancer?"

    But if we're really interested in the answer, the Bible gives us a clear explanation.

    The first thing we need to understand is that cancer isn't something we should blame God for. When God finished creating the world, He called it "very good"(Genesis 1:31). There was no death, disease, or suffering in His original creation.

    Everything changed when sin entered the world. "Through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin"(Romans 5:12). Because of the Fall, all creation was subjected to corruption and now groans under the effects of sin (Romans 8:20-22). Cancer, disease, and death are symptoms of a broken creation, not evidence that God delights in suffering.

    The amazing part of the gospel is that God didn't abandon us in that brokenness. Jesus entered our world, suffered with us, died for our sins, and rose again to defeat death itself (1 Corinthians 15:54-57). One day, Christ will make all things new, and **"He will wipe away every tear... there shall be no more death, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore" (Revelation 21:4).

    So we shouldn't blame God for cancer. We should recognize that we live in a fallen world that desperately needs the Savior God has already provided. Christ came not to create the curse, but to conquer it.

  • Good morning, brethren.
    1. Morning devotion for today.

    MD.i. MORNING TEA
    THE WORD FOR TODAY
    MONDAY AUGUST 3, 2O26.
    " WHAT IS A PARENT TO DO?"

    'But his sons did not walk in his ways...’ 1 Samuel 8:3 NIV

    AT TIMES every parent despairs over their child’s decisions and actions. ‘I did my best to bring them up correctly; did I fail as a parent?’ Failure is a fact of life—and of parenting—and nobody does it perfectly! Parents assume a heavier load of guilt than they deserve. Consider some Bible examples of real-world parenting: Isaac had, at best, a 50 percent success rate with his sons, Jacob and Esau. Aaron struck out completely with Nadab and Abihu. Manoah’s boy Samson didn’t win the ‘son-of-the-year award’! And Samuel, a recognised moral and spiritual giant, watched his sons reject his example and teaching and pursue lives of bribery and shame. Since Adam, children ‘doing their own thing’ have broken their parents’ hearts! So what is a parent to do? 1) Realise you’re not responsible for their decisions. They make their own choices. Condemning yourself just discourages you, and it undermines your ability to be the parent they need. The Bible says, ‘…Salvation is of the Lord’ (Jonah 2:9 NJKV). He saves and delivers—not you. 2) Pray for them and give them to God. Anxiety and frustration will only make you the kind of parent they don’t enjoy being around, and who can’t enjoy them. You’re not built to carry such a load; your heavenly Father is, and He wants to carry it for you! (1 Peter 5:7). 3) Remember that God loves them more than you do!

    *JESUS: THE LORD OVER ALL* 🫵🏽🏽‍🏽‍🏽🏽‍🏽🏽

    ```TEXT:LUKE 4:33-44```

    ```KEY VERSE:``` _*"Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them" (LUKE 4:40).*_

    *The Greek word for "Lord" translates to _Adonai_ in Hebrew. In modern parlance, it means "supreme Lord", an incommunicable name of God, and the substitute for Jehovah, a name the Jews would not pronounce. It is in this sense that Christ is 'the Lord, the Lord of lords, the Lord God'. Lord, in the sense in which God alone can be Lord speaks of His dominion over all things. Christ validates this in Capernaum.*

    *Stepping out of Nazareth with defiance, Christ came into Capernaum with singleness of mind to pursue his tripartite ministry of teaching, healing and preaching. In the synagogue, on the Sabbath day, Christ stood tall as the Conqueror of sin, sickness and Satan; the Controller of demons and fallen angels and of course a compassionate consummate Saviour who speaks peace and hope to humanity.*

    *In His towering yet meek posture, power meets with pity and that resulted in a stream of miracles, which confirmed His divinity. He stood as the Lord over all. The tone of authority and sternness rested fully in Him. He has pity on the convicted who sincerely seeks redemption and with the same breath turns to unclean, defiling spirits with a poignantly severe countenance. Even the acknowledgement of His divinity as "The Holy One of God", or "Jesus of Nazareth", or "Christ the Son of God" were not dignified with any form of approval. He will not have His name soiled by such lips.*

    *Significantly, for you as a Christian pilgrim today, Christ's ministry in Capernaum is a model on which authentic ministries and ministrations must be built. First, since Jesus placed an uncommon emphasis on the preaching of the word, so must you do today and so walk in His steps. It is the word that converts sinners, edifies saints and wings the power that heals, delivers and liberates from satanic yokes. Secondly, since Jesus unswervingly devoted Himself to His mission to preach the Kingdom of God (Luke 4:43, 44), so must every Christian who is a beneficiary of the atonement at Calvary. Thirdly, just as Jesus resisted every distraction from His central calling, so must you also remain undistracted by the miracles, signs and wonders of the day. The Great Commission coupled with holiness of life must tower over and above every other concern, legitimate or otherwise. Finally, the agency of miracles then and now remains the same. It is always the spoken word, NOT water, oil, candle or garments, gymnastics or any hocus-pocus. Cling to Christ's model and He will be Lord over all in your life, family and ministry.*

    *PRAYER PATTERN* 🫵🏽🏽‍🏽‍🏽🏽‍🏽🏽

    ```TEXT:MATTHEW 6:5-15```

    ``` MEMORY VERSE:``` _*"But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly" (MATTHEW 6:6).*_

    *A spiritual legend, John Wesley says: "God does nothing except in response to believing prayer." God, our Creator has given us all things that relate to our lives and godliness. However, our prayer must follow a godly pattern for it to be acceptable and potent. Those who engage in prayer and fasting for show like the Pharisees cannot please God, and their prayers are worthless before Him.*

    *The state of your heart is very important when you pray. You should never make prayer a thing of competition as the Lord will reject such. Praying to God in secret indicates a practice of privacy and intimacy with God. It goes with total surrendering of your life, actions and dealings to God. Prayers with anger and malice are abominable before God.*

    *Remember, the Lord is interested in a prayer from a broken and contrite heart. It is important to note that God does not answer the prayer of a sinner, except if it is a prayer of repentance. Do you have a relationship with God? Repent of your sins for your prayers to be effective.*

    ```QUOTE:``` _*Follow a godly pattern.*_

    ```CHALLENGE:``` _*Build a consistent relationship with God.*_

    *"STUDY TO BE QUIET"* 🫵🏽🏽‍🏽‍🏽‍🏽🏽‍🏽

    ```1 THESSALONIANS 4:11,12```



    ```Key Verse:``` _*"And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you" (1 Thessalonians 4:11).*_



    One of the reasons for going to school is to study; to learn what you do not know and what will be beneficial to you in future. You will be very ignorant if you have not attended a school and studied.

    You study many subjects, but they all combine to make you one "learned" person. However, we do not study everything from school. There are some habits or virtues that you must teach yourself.

    Today, we learn on the need to be quiet, do your own business (assignments), work with your own hands, and not disturb others. Quietness is a good habit we must learn or study if we are to grow up and be responsible adults.

    It is not others that cause you to disturb; or not to keep quiet and pay attention. It is because you choose to show undue interest in what others do or say. It takes a great deal of self-control to be quiet and remain so. Some children keep quiet and concentrate on their work only for a moment.

    Of course, you must be quiet before you can work well with your own hands. You lose attention or concentration immediately you begin to talk about other things, except about what you are doing. That is why your teacher always insists that you keep quiet in the class.

    *You will run into many problems if you fail to obey the instruction of the Bible: "study to be quiet". You will end up being a busybody. You will not be able to gainfully use your time, work hard and succeed. From this moment, listen more, talk less!*



    ```rayer:``` _*Lord, bless me with quiet and hardworking hands.*_ 🏽

    *PROOFS OF THE ULTIMATE POWER AND AUTHORITY OF CHRIST*

    *TEXT:* LUKE 4:33-44.

    33 And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice,
    34 Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God.
    35 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not.
    36 And they were all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying, What a word is this! for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out.
    37 And the fame of him went out into every place of the country round about.
    38 And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon's house. And Simon's wife's mother was taken with a great fever; and they besought him for her.
    39 And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and ministered unto them.
    40 Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.
    41 And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art Christ the Son of God. And he rebuking them suffered them not to speak: for they knew that he was Christ.
    42 And when it was day, he departed and went into a desert place: and the people sought him, and came unto him, and stayed him, that he should not depart from them.
    43 And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent.
    44 And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee.

    *Timeless Truth:*
    _"That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father"_ (Philippians 2:10,11).


    *INTRODUCTION*

    Courts naturally assume a witness called by the defense is meant to help the accused. When that witness instead supports the accuser, the testimony is viewed as inherently honest because it goes against the witness's apparent allegiance. It completely destroys the specific line of defense the witness was brought to prove, leaving the accused’s story isolated or contradicted. The prosecution can heavily rely on this testimony during closing arguments to show that even the defendant’s own chosen witness knows the truth of the charges. The ministry of Jesus Christ was marked by undeniable demonstrations of His supreme power and divine authority. The fact that even demons, diseases and every force of darkness are all confessing to the power and authority of Jesus are strong and undeniable proofs that Jesus is truly Lord over all.

    *1. Honest Confession of the Demons*

    a. Right there *"in the synagogue there was a man who had a spirit of an unclean devil"*. This man was in the synagogue. As long as there was no fire of the Holy Spirit in the Synagogue, the man was comfortably "worshipping". In some denominations of today, there are such people who are talented and appear zealous for God, but have evil spirits inside them because the church is void of the fire of the Holy Spirit. Such people, in cooperation with demons, do a lot of undetected havoc in the House of God. As Jesus taught in the Synagogue, the demon inside him started making cowardly and honest confessions. He, like the damsel possessed by the spirit of divination in Acts 16:16-18, started manifesting. He confessed, *"I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God."* He *"cried with a loud voice"* like a person manifesting the gift of prophecy. His confession was a combination of truth and falsehood as expected of corrupting demons. Jesus is truly the Holy One of God. However, the accusation that Jesus came to destroy them before their time was meant to put Jesus in a wrong perspective. The fact that Jesus did not destroy, but only cast them out, showed that the demon was actually ignorant or was deliberately lying. Satan is an incurable pathological liar who will always mix lies with truth so as to deceive the gullible. *"But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ."*
    b. It should not be surprising then that Jesus rebuked him and said *"hold thy peace"* though it appeared the demon was saying something positive about Christ. They will always try to win one's confidence with known truth before sneaking in poisons of errors. It is therefore, dangerous to base our doctrines and beliefs on the confession of those possessed with demons. The Word of God is the ultimate truth given to man on earth. It is the Word of God and His work that have been divinely decreed to glorify God and not unclean demons. Are these not the same demons who confess to the Lordship of Christ, but later go and deceive many that Jesus is not Lord? Are these not the demons that deceived a whole Jewish nation that Jesus is not the Messiah they were looking for? Our faith should rest only on the sufficient Word of God.
    Sadly, while demons acknowledged Christ's authority, many human beings still reject Him.

    *Question*

    Do you have the practical and experiential knowledge of Christ as the Lord of all, including you?

    *2.The Humiliating Christ's Dominion*

    a. The text is showing the total and absolute dominion of Christ over demons. It was a humiliating demonstration that if those demons have their way they would have loved to avoid such a scenario. Jesus commanded him to shut up and *"come out of him"*. Don't deal gently with demons; speak to them with the authority of Jesus. The demon had to surrender and come out shamefully. Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit with absolute authority. The demon obeyed immediately without resistance, proving that Satan's kingdom is completely subject to Christ's dominion. The people were astonished because His words carried divine authority unlike anything they had witnessed before.
    b. Christ's dominion is supreme over every demonic force, every stronghold and every work of darkness. No power can withstand His command. When believers use the name of Jesus to cast out demons, the demons must. *"At the name (or authority) of Jesus, every knee must bow"*, either in heaven, on earth or underneath the earth (Philippians 2:10, 11). All witchcraft, sorcery, evil works of darkness are all works of demons. Believers should learn to use the name of Jesus to deal with those forces of darkness with unwavering and persistent authority and faith.

    *Question*

    Am I living daily in the confidence of Christ's absolute authority over every power of darkness?

    *3. Healer and Conqueror over all Diseases*

    a. Modern medicine attributes all physical and mental illnesses to natural, biological, genetic and environmental causes. Medical causes of illness include pathogens, genetics and environmental factors.
    Also, psychosomatic effects such as high stress and emotional distress can manifest as physical symptoms. The fact that there are many medically incurable (or unknown cure) sickness and diseases, that are cured by simple prayer in the name of Jesus, is an indication that many sicknesses and diseases have spiritual undertones.
    Jesus rebuked Simon's mother-in-law's fever, just like He rebuked a demon and she was instantly healed and began serving others. Also, to Jesus were brought *all kinds of sick individuals to Him, and He healed them*. Though Jesus is not against medical healing, He never referred any sick to the hospitals of those days; He healed them all. No disease was beyond His power.
    b. His compassion matched His authority. Christ remains the Great Physician who heals physically according to His will, restores spiritually, and delivers completely from the bondage of sin. His power is sufficient for every need of His children. Has Jesus changed? (Hebrews 13:8).

    *Question*

    Have I brought every sickness, burden and impossible situation to the Great Healer in faith?

    *Prayer Points*

    1.Lord Jesus, strengthen my faith to recognize and submit completely to Your supreme power and authority .
    2.Father, give me spiritual fire that I will be a threat to demons and their works .
    3.Great Physician, let Your healing and deliverance touch be more manifested in my ministry .
    4.Let the power of the Holy Spirit manifest mightily in Your Church so that spiritually camouflaging people will not have a hiding place in the congregation .

    *HYMN:* Christ Jesus hath the power

    *BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:* JOHN 6-7.

    2. Morning prayer for today.

    MP.i. Morning Prayer

    Thy word [is] a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. ⏤ Psalm 119:105

    The Scriptures are God’s voice to us in our present hour. ⏤ A.W. Tozer

    Our Father, bless Your word to us, which we have read together this morning. We thank You that it brings us the very counsel of Your will. May it stay in our hearts all day. May it be a lamp to our feet and a light to our path as we go forth. May its truth shine within us, showing us Your will, what Your thoughts concerning us are, and what You would have us do. We thank You for this heavenly light You have given us. Without it, we could never find our way home through the tangled paths. Without it, we would not know that You love us or think of us. Help us to receive Your words always with meekness and humility. Help us to walk in the way You have made clear to us.

    We ask You to fill us with Your love this morning as we begin the day, so that wherever we go, our faces may shine with something of the light of Your face. We have no light of our own. Our lamps are empty unless You fill them. We ask You to give us Your grace, to fill our little lamps, that they may burn brightly. We do not want to be in darkness in this world—but desire to be lights, and we will shine if we have Your grace in us. Fill us with Your holy light.

    We yearn to be blessings today to each other and to everyone we meet. Give us something to carry to others—something of Your love and grace. Lay Your hand upon us and give us each a Father’s blessing, first for ourselves and then to share with our neighbors and friends.

    Keep us all from evil. Let us not sin willfully against You this day. Bring us all together in the evening when our work is done, if it be Your will. We ask all these favors in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

    Good morning, brethren. 1. Morning devotion for today. MD.i. 😀🌺🌹🎁🎀💝 MORNING TEA THE WORD FOR TODAY MONDAY AUGUST 3, 2O26. " WHAT IS A PARENT TO DO?" 'But his sons did not walk in his ways...’ 1 Samuel 8:3 NIV AT TIMES every parent despairs over their child’s decisions and actions. ‘I did my best to bring them up correctly; did I fail as a parent?’ Failure is a fact of life—and of parenting—and nobody does it perfectly! Parents assume a heavier load of guilt than they deserve. Consider some Bible examples of real-world parenting: Isaac had, at best, a 50 percent success rate with his sons, Jacob and Esau. Aaron struck out completely with Nadab and Abihu. Manoah’s boy Samson didn’t win the ‘son-of-the-year award’! And Samuel, a recognised moral and spiritual giant, watched his sons reject his example and teaching and pursue lives of bribery and shame. Since Adam, children ‘doing their own thing’ have broken their parents’ hearts! So what is a parent to do? 1) Realise you’re not responsible for their decisions. They make their own choices. Condemning yourself just discourages you, and it undermines your ability to be the parent they need. The Bible says, ‘…Salvation is of the Lord’ (Jonah 2:9 NJKV). He saves and delivers—not you. 2) Pray for them and give them to God. Anxiety and frustration will only make you the kind of parent they don’t enjoy being around, and who can’t enjoy them. You’re not built to carry such a load; your heavenly Father is, and He wants to carry it for you! (1 Peter 5:7). 3) Remember that God loves them more than you do! He gave His only child to save yours. He knows their heart, and how to reach it and turn it toward Him. So give your child to Him!

And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not. 36 And they were all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying, What a word is this! for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out. 37 And the fame of him went out into every place of the country round about. 38 And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon's house. And Simon's wife's mother was taken with a great fever; and they besought him for her. 39 And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and ministered unto them. 40 Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them. 41 And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art Christ the Son of God. And he rebuking them suffered them not to speak: for they knew that he was Christ. 42 And when it was day, he departed and went into a desert place: and the people sought him, and came unto him, and stayed him, that he should not depart from them. 43 And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent. 44 And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee. *Timeless Truth:* _"That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father"_ (Philippians 2:10,11). *INTRODUCTION* Courts naturally assume a witness called by the defense is meant to help the accused. When that witness instead supports the accuser, the testimony is viewed as inherently honest because it goes against the witness's apparent allegiance. It completely destroys the specific line of defense the witness was brought to prove, leaving the accused’s story isolated or contradicted. The prosecution can heavily rely on this testimony during closing arguments to show that even the defendant’s own chosen witness knows the truth of the charges. The ministry of Jesus Christ was marked by undeniable demonstrations of His supreme power and divine authority. The fact that even demons, diseases and every force of darkness are all confessing to the power and authority of Jesus are strong and undeniable proofs that Jesus is truly Lord over all. *1. Honest Confession of the Demons* a. Right there *"in the synagogue there was a man who had a spirit of an unclean devil"*. This man was in the synagogue. As long as there was no fire of the Holy Spirit in the Synagogue, the man was comfortably "worshipping". In some denominations of today, there are such people who are talented and appear zealous for God, but have evil spirits inside them because the church is void of the fire of the Holy Spirit. Such people, in cooperation with demons, do a lot of undetected havoc in the House of God. As Jesus taught in the Synagogue, the demon inside him started making cowardly and honest confessions. He, like the damsel possessed by the spirit of divination in Acts 16:16-18, started manifesting. He confessed, *"I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God."* He *"cried with a loud voice"* like a person manifesting the gift of prophecy. His confession was a combination of truth and falsehood as expected of corrupting demons. Jesus is truly the Holy One of God. However, the accusation that Jesus came to destroy them before their time was meant to put Jesus in a wrong perspective. The fact that Jesus did not destroy, but only cast them out, showed that the demon was actually ignorant or was deliberately lying. Satan is an incurable pathological liar who will always mix lies with truth so as to deceive the gullible. *"But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ."* b. It should not be surprising then that Jesus rebuked him and said *"hold thy peace"* though it appeared the demon was saying something positive about Christ. They will always try to win one's confidence with known truth before sneaking in poisons of errors. It is therefore, dangerous to base our doctrines and beliefs on the confession of those possessed with demons. The Word of God is the ultimate truth given to man on earth. It is the Word of God and His work that have been divinely decreed to glorify God and not unclean demons. Are these not the same demons who confess to the Lordship of Christ, but later go and deceive many that Jesus is not Lord? Are these not the demons that deceived a whole Jewish nation that Jesus is not the Messiah they were looking for? Our faith should rest only on the sufficient Word of God. Sadly, while demons acknowledged Christ's authority, many human beings still reject Him. *Question* Do you have the practical and experiential knowledge of Christ as the Lord of all, including you? *2.The Humiliating Christ's Dominion* a. The text is showing the total and absolute dominion of Christ over demons. It was a humiliating demonstration that if those demons have their way they would have loved to avoid such a scenario. Jesus commanded him to shut up and *"come out of him"*. Don't deal gently with demons; speak to them with the authority of Jesus. The demon had to surrender and come out shamefully. Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit with absolute authority. The demon obeyed immediately without resistance, proving that Satan's kingdom is completely subject to Christ's dominion. The people were astonished because His words carried divine authority unlike anything they had witnessed before. b. Christ's dominion is supreme over every demonic force, every stronghold and every work of darkness. No power can withstand His command. When believers use the name of Jesus to cast out demons, the demons must. *"At the name (or authority) of Jesus, every knee must bow"*, either in heaven, on earth or underneath the earth (Philippians 2:10, 11). All witchcraft, sorcery, evil works of darkness are all works of demons. Believers should learn to use the name of Jesus to deal with those forces of darkness with unwavering and persistent authority and faith. *Question* Am I living daily in the confidence of Christ's absolute authority over every power of darkness? *3. Healer and Conqueror over all Diseases* a. Modern medicine attributes all physical and mental illnesses to natural, biological, genetic and environmental causes. Medical causes of illness include pathogens, genetics and environmental factors. Also, psychosomatic effects such as high stress and emotional distress can manifest as physical symptoms. The fact that there are many medically incurable (or unknown cure) sickness and diseases, that are cured by simple prayer in the name of Jesus, is an indication that many sicknesses and diseases have spiritual undertones. Jesus rebuked Simon's mother-in-law's fever, just like He rebuked a demon and she was instantly healed and began serving others. Also, to Jesus were brought *all kinds of sick individuals to Him, and He healed them*. Though Jesus is not against medical healing, He never referred any sick to the hospitals of those days; He healed them all. No disease was beyond His power. b. His compassion matched His authority. Christ remains the Great Physician who heals physically according to His will, restores spiritually, and delivers completely from the bondage of sin. His power is sufficient for every need of His children. Has Jesus changed? (Hebrews 13:8). *Question* Have I brought every sickness, burden and impossible situation to the Great Healer in faith? *Prayer Points* 1.Lord Jesus, strengthen my faith to recognize and submit completely to Your supreme power and authority 🙏. 2.Father, give me spiritual fire that I will be a threat to demons and their works 🙏. 3.Great Physician, let Your healing and deliverance touch be more manifested in my ministry 🙏. 4.Let the power of the Holy Spirit manifest mightily in Your Church so that spiritually camouflaging people will not have a hiding place in the congregation 🙏. *HYMN:* Christ Jesus hath the power *BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:* JOHN 6-7. 2. Morning prayer for today. MP.i. Morning Prayer Thy word [is] a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. ⏤ Psalm 119:105 The Scriptures are God’s voice to us in our present hour. ⏤ A.W. Tozer Our Father, bless Your word to us, which we have read together this morning. We thank You that it brings us the very counsel of Your will. May it stay in our hearts all day. May it be a lamp to our feet and a light to our path as we go forth. May its truth shine within us, showing us Your will, what Your thoughts concerning us are, and what You would have us do. We thank You for this heavenly light You have given us. Without it, we could never find our way home through the tangled paths. Without it, we would not know that You love us or think of us. Help us to receive Your words always with meekness and humility. Help us to walk in the way You have made clear to us. We ask You to fill us with Your love this morning as we begin the day, so that wherever we go, our faces may shine with something of the light of Your face. We have no light of our own. Our lamps are empty unless You fill them. We ask You to give us Your grace, to fill our little lamps, that they may burn brightly. We do not want to be in darkness in this world—but desire to be lights, and we will shine if we have Your grace in us. Fill us with Your holy light. We yearn to be blessings today to each other and to everyone we meet. Give us something to carry to others—something of Your love and grace. Lay Your hand upon us and give us each a Father’s blessing, first for ourselves and then to share with our neighbors and friends. Keep us all from evil. Let us not sin willfully against You this day. Bring us all together in the evening when our work is done, if it be Your will. We ask all these favors in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. https://www.youdevotion.com/daily-prayer/miller/29/morning #taptapstudio #youdevotion.

  • What are the warning signs of a dying church?

    https://patrickryanlewis.com/2026/07/31/seven-symptoms-of-a-dying-church-and-the-hope-of-revival/

    Churches rarely drift overnight. More often, decline happens slowly as unhealthy patterns become normal. In this new post, I look at seven symptoms of a dying church—from continuous conflict and prolonged meetings to protecting traditions more than pursuing the mission of Christ.

    But this is not a message of hopelessness. A dying church is never beyond the reach of a living Savior. Jesus still calls His people to wake up, strengthen what remains, and return to Him.

    “Wake up, and strengthen what remains and is about to die.” — Revelation 3:2

    If you’ve ever wondered how churches lose their spiritual vitality—and how renewal can begin—this post is for you.

  • HOW TO KNOW GOD'S WILL FOR IMPORTANT DECISIONS IN YOUR LIFE. Part 2 of 6.
    God’s Basic Will for Every Christian. Continued.
    The Holy Spirit is for the purpose of enabling us to become “fruitful in every good work” (Col. 1:10), and this Jesus said, comes not by "doing," but by "dying." Until we learn this lesson, we may work our heads off in religious efforts and still never really be fruitful. God does not call us merely to do "good works" – every Christian is capable of this– but His will for us is that we should become fruitful in every good work. We can do good works and still not be moving in His will. Good works are acceptable in the sight of God only to the extent they are in harmony with His will and under His direction.

    The case of Saul is a perfect example of this fact. God had sent King Saul against the Amalekites commanding him to destroy utterly both man and beast because the Amalekites had ruthlessly attacked Israel when she had first come out of Egypt. In disobedience Saul spared King Agag alive and kept the best of the sheep and oxen for the purpose of offering sacrifices unto the Lord. Now, God had commanded the Israelites through Moses to worship Him with sacrifices and burnt offerings as King Saul well knew.

    Certainly Saul's intentions were good in his desire to offer sacrifices unto the Lord, but God rejected him from the kingship of Israel nevertheless, saying, through Samuel, "Has the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to listen than the fat of rams ... Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, he has also rejected you from being king" (1 Sam. 15:22-23). In Matthew 7:21 Jesus declared, "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father which is in heaven." He then makes clear His meaning in verses 22-23 stating that many who are engaged in performing "good works," will, nevertheless, be rejected at the return of Christ because they were not doing the "will of God." A good deed does not necessarily make one acceptable to God merely because it results in good being done to someone else; our works are acceptable to God only to the extent they are in harmony with the will of God and a fulfillment of His purpose. God has not called us merely to do good works, but to do His will and move under the direction of His Spirit.

    We must be willing to resign from the delusion of religious commotion and be still, patiently waiting upon Him as He teaches us how to become sensitive to His voice, in order that He might
    make us to be "fruitful in every good work." The Spirit is calling us to be crucified with Christ, for it is on the cross that He teaches us how to grow quiet in order to hear His voice; and it is here that He rids our hearts of all the wrong notions about God's will for our lives and how He intends to fulfill His greater purpose through the Body of Christ in this end of the age.

    It is upon the disciple's return to Calvary, when he has been crucified with Christ, that the Spirit will then begin to teach him how to-

    3. Speak to the Mountain.
    And on the morrow, when they were center from Bethany, he was hungry:
    And seeing a tree afar off having leaves, he came, if happily He might find something therein: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet. And Jesus answered and said unto it; No man eat fruit of you hereafter forever. And his disciples heard it. And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which you cursed is withered away. And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. For truly I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, be removed, and be cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he says shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he says. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever you desire, when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you shall have them (Mark 11:12-14, 20-24).

    The importance of faith in the life of the Christian is emphasized again and again in God's Word, for we are told that "without faith it is impossible to please him" (Heb. 11:6), and "whatsoever is not of faith is sin" (Rom. 14:23). The Christian has been called to walk by faith and to live a life of total trust in God. Sadly, however, the faith of the average Christian rises little above that of the world generally. Doubt and unbelief in the life of a Christian constitutes disobedience to the revealed will of God Who commands us to have faith and to trust Him implicitly in all things without reservation.

    Christians have an abundant inheritance provided for them by Christ's redemption. They are rich spiritually, materially, and physically, but too few are aware of this fact, believing instead that they are not to receive any of their 'inheritance now, or benefit from it in the present life, but only in the world to come.

    The Scriptures, on the contrary, declare that our inheritance belongs to us now, for God has promised that "all things are yours... whether the world, or life, or death, or things present, or
    things to come; all are yours" (1 Corinthians 3:21-22). Healing, for example, has been provided for the believer and promised to him in God's Word (Isa. 53:4-5; Mt. 8:16-17; Mk. 16:18, James 5:14-15). It should be obvious that such a promise has no meaning unless it is valid here and now, for the believer will not need healing in the hereafter, inasmuch as he will not be subject to sickness. And so it is with almost all God’s promises-they are for the present, for it is now, in this life, that we have need of food, clothing, shelter, healing, health, protection, deliverance from fear, oppression, and so on.

    The Scriptures are filled with divine assurances, rights, privileges, blessings, and promises given to the believer whereby God has made provision for our every spiritual, physical, and material need, as well as for the accomplishment of the work He has commissioned His Church to do in the fulfillment of His will. All these provisions and blessings are available to the extent that we are willing to press through by faith and appropriate them. Moreover, if we are willing to meet the conditions, then we do not have to beg or persuade Him to fulfill His promises to us, for God assures us that He has already said "yes" to every promise He has made (2 Cor. 1:20), and that He does not go back on His word (Num. 23:19).

    It is sad to see some Christians who have accepted this deeper message who, nevertheless, have no real faith to sustain them in it, teaching the same errors as the institutional churches that an important part of our crucifixion is the absence of material blessings and the acceptance of sickness and pain. Such a view is completely out of harmony with the Word of God, for healing and the promise of the supply of all our needs have been provided in the atonement, and promised again and again in the scriptures. They are to be appropriated by faith as a part of our inheritance. Failure to ask for healing when one is sick, and to believe for God's daily provision for our temporal needs, is to ignore His promises, frustrate His will and purpose for our lives, and make Christ's sufferings and death at Calvary to provide us these blessings all in vain.

    The crucifixion the Christian is called upon to experience is not that of physical sickness, pain, and poverty, but the crucifixion of self. One may give up all his possessions and still not lose his
    affection for these things. In giving up the self-life one loses his affection for material things as ends in themselves, and as a result God can, with confidence, bless him abundantly just as He
    has promised in Philippians 4:19, where the Apostle Paul declares that "My God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." Note carefully that God promises here to bless us richly by Christ Jesus which clearly means that all our needs (temporal as well as spiritual) were provided for in Christ's atonement, for all that we receive from God comes to us only as a result of Christ's work at Calvary (cf. 2 Cor. 1:20).

    Likewise, to contend that God sometimes uses sickness to make the believer more spiritual, or allows us to suffer occasionally in order to draw some lost or backslidden member of our family to Him, is in effect saying that we must add our suffering to that of Christ at Calvary. But the Scriptures plainly declare that "Surely he (Christ) has carried away our diseases, and borne our pains and with His stripes we are healed" (Isa. 53:4-5 Matt 8:17) Moreover, God draws your unsaved and backslidden loved ones to Him by the sufferings of Christ, not yours! Jesus' words in John 12:32-33 forever settle this fact: "And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, I will draw all men unto me". This he said, signifying what death he should die."

    Only the Christian that refuses to accept sickness and poverty, knowing that they come from the hand of Satan (Jn. 10:10, Acts 10:38), and who walks in total faith in God in these matters, can fulfill God's perfect will in his life. Otherwise, he will find that he spends a good part of his time disabled with sickness and unable to serve the Lord as he should. Furthermore, much time is wasted in concern for supplying his temporal needs, instead of seeking first the Kingdom of God and allowing Him to provide these things as He promises in His Word (Matt. 6:19-34; Phil. 4:19).

    Thus, he must waste a good deal of his prayer time, which could be utilized for others, praying for, and concerned with, himself, instead of the work of the Kingdom. Very obviously "self" is not crucified when one spends so much time ministering to itself. It is only by walking in total faith, appropriating God's provisions which He has promised, do we have the health, strength, time, and provisions to fulfill His will in our lives.

    Are you concerned with fulfilling God's will in your life? God's will can be accomplished in the life of the Christian onIy to the extent he is willing to trust Him. Did you know that God has pledged Himself to direct each step of your life? The condition, however, is faith - total trust in God in all things without reservation. The promise is found in Proverbs 3:5-8: Trust in the Lord with all your heart; and lean not unto your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your paths.

    There are three conditions of faith in this promise which the Christian must meet if he expects such divine direction of his life: (1) total trust in the Lord ("Trust in the Lord with all thine heart"); (2) lack of trust in oneself ("and lean not unto thine own understanding"); and (3) a constant confession of these two facts ("in all thy ways acknowledge him").

    (1) Total trust in the Lord.
    Many Christians today reveal their great lack of faith in that they have no real confidence in God to keep the promises He has made them. This is reflected in their unwillingness to ask in faith what He has provided for them and promised to them; or when they do ask Him to fulfill a promise to meet some need, they condition their prayers by saying, "Grant this request Lord if it
    be Your will." Prayer conditioned with "if" for something God has promised is not a prayer of faith, and is one's confession that he is not sure God will be faithful and fulfill what He has promised to do.

    It is a terrifying thought to most Christians to suggest that God expects them to trust Him alone for their health, healing, finances, employment, protection, and so on. As a result they carefully
    arrange their lives so that they will never have to suffer the embarrassment of having to depend solely on Him in case of accident, sickness, financial distress, or some other emergency. Unlike the saints of old, who had only God to rely on for their provision, deliverance, and protection, the pampered saints of our generation have surrounded themselves with many fleshly substitutes
    for faith, while the financial institutions, together with the medical and accident insurance companies, are growing rich as a result of their doubt, fear, and unbelief.

    The life of faith means simply to "trust in the Lord with all your heart." Faith knows nothing of alternatives, substitutes, helps, or exceptions. Total trust in the Lord is to confess with the Psalmist: "I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in Him will I trust" (Ps. 91:2.). Total trust in the Lord is based upon the confidence that God is faithful to do all He has pledged Himself to do; thus, the Scriptures encourage us to "hold fast to the confession of our faith without doubting; for he is faithful that promised" (Heb. 10:23).

    The lack of true faith among professing believers today stems largely from the fact that people have been taught so many wrong ideas about the Biblical promises concerning such things as divine healing, the baptism in the Holy Spirit, speaking in tongues, the presence and activity of demons, provision for our temporal needs, the miraculous and supernatural. So many half-truths have been taught about God's promises that Christians today do not know what to believe. The trouble with a half-truth is that people usually believe the wrong half. I have found in my ministry of teaching what faith is that before I can get Christians to the place that they can once more begin to appropriate the promises of God and start living on the level of their inheritance, I must first of all get them to see that there are certain things concerning the Christian faith which are just not debatable, and that the Word of God is clear on these things.

    Moreover, when human opinion contradicts the plain teaching of the Word, then we must flatly reject man's interpretation of God's promises and take a stand with the Word. His promises are generally clear enough and need no special interpretation or explanation, which often robs them of their validity and effectiveness for this day. When we are promised that "the prayer of faith shall heal the sick,” and that "My God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory," that "there shall no evil befall you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling," that "if any two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven," that "what things soever you desire, when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you shall have them," and that God "forgives all your iniquities; (and) heals all your diseases," then the Word is clear enough and needs no interpretation, but is simply to be acted upon in faith. There are literally thousands of such promises in the Scriptures which may be appropriated by faith. We find that Christians today, who are willing to lay aside men's opinion concerning God's Word and trust in the Lord with all their hearts, discover that Jesus is indeed the same yesterday, today, and forever (Heb. 13:8), and that God will not fail to fulfill any promise which He has made (Num.23:19)

    (2) Lack of trust in oneself.
    The second condition to meet, if we are to expect divine direction for our lives, is stated thus: "lean not upon your own understanding."
    How many times have you prayed for guidance concerning God's will in some matter about which there was no specific revelation of His will in the Scriptures, but already had your mind made up as to what you desired to do and how you wanted God to answer your prayer? Do you at times, as you pray, wish to reserve the right to refuse the path God shows you in the event the cost seems too great, or in case His will is not in line with what you really wanted to do? In such instances are you not actually saying that you believe your wisdom and understanding concerning your need is greater than God's and is not such prayer in reality little more than an attempt to obtain God's approval on the course of action you have already decided to take?

    Again, we often see the substitution of human understanding for faith in God when a specific promise in His Word has been asked for, such as a promise of healing, provision of some special need, or the salvation or deliverance of a loved one. When the Christian is required to suffer a trial in connection with obtaining the answer, or when the circumstances seem to get worse for a time, then we find that many times he will begin to rely on his own wisdom in an attempt to "help" God provide the answer or solve the problem. So many are willing to trust God
    only up to a certain point, but then begin to panic if the symptoms become worse, or when the money they prayed for has not arrived by the deadline, or if the alcoholic husband or backslidden daughter they had prayed to the Lord for seems to be getting more hopeless daily. It is then that they will often seek to force open some door before it is God's time, or seek to change the adverse circumstance in some way. Leaning on one's own understanding results from a lack of trust in God, and invariably hinders Him in answering the prayer, often making it impossible for Him to help such individuals. We cannot expect divine direction of our lives unless we are willing to humble ourselves and admit that our fallible wisdom and intellect are incapable of solving the complexities of life or in fulfilling God's perfect will in our lives.

    (3) Constant Confession.
    The third condition for receiving divine direction for our lives is stated as follows: "In all your ways acknowledge him." This is the constantly saying that we are not leaning unto our own understanding, but are trusting the Lord in every detail of our lives. To acknowledge Himin all our ways means that we will speak God's blessing, protection, and guidance at all times, and not boast, as so many do, of our own achievements, nor say of how "fortunate" we were in receiving the unexpected raise in salary, or how "lucky" we were when no one was injured in the recent accident.

    Acknowledging God in all our ways is in reality a statement of faith in Him. If we genuinely believe that He is directing our every step, it will be reflected in our daily conversation. Sadly, Satan has somehow brought about the sad situation where we find that very often Christians seem to be acknowledging the enemy in all their ways, instead of the Lord. If you do not believe this, then just listen to the conversation and talking of the average Christian day to day.

    In reply to the simple, friendly greeting, "How are you today?" you may be surprised how often Christians immediately begin to confess that Satan has the victory over them. We hear
    such replies as, "Oh, I'm not feeling too well today," or "I believe I am trying to take the flu. "When asked to help in some aspect of the Lord's work, not infrequently Christians will decline, saying, "I would be afraid to attempt that," or "Perhaps you should ask someone else, as I am sure I would fail." Another laments, "If the cost of living keeps going up, I just don't know what I'm going to do. I suppose my wife will just have to go to work to help make ends meet." "I committed the problem in my marriage to the Lord several months ago," one discouraged wife tells another, "but the situation shows no marked improvement, and I must say that I am just about ready to give the whole thing up."

    ❤️HOW TO KNOW GOD'S WILL FOR IMPORTANT DECISIONS IN YOUR LIFE. Part 2 of 6. God’s Basic Will for Every Christian. Continued. The Holy Spirit is for the purpose of enabling us to become “fruitful in every good work” (Col. 1:10), and this Jesus said, comes not by "doing," but by "dying." Until we learn this lesson, we may work our heads off in religious efforts and still never really be fruitful. God does not call us merely to do "good works" – every Christian is capable of this– but His will for us is that we should become fruitful in every good work. We can do good works and still not be moving in His will. Good works are acceptable in the sight of God only to the extent they are in harmony with His will and under His direction. The case of Saul is a perfect example of this fact. God had sent King Saul against the Amalekites commanding him to destroy utterly both man and beast because the Amalekites had ruthlessly attacked Israel when she had first come out of Egypt. In disobedience Saul spared King Agag alive and kept the best of the sheep and oxen for the purpose of offering sacrifices unto the Lord. Now, God had commanded the Israelites through Moses to worship Him with sacrifices and burnt offerings as King Saul well knew. Certainly Saul's intentions were good in his desire to offer sacrifices unto the Lord, but God rejected him from the kingship of Israel nevertheless, saying, through Samuel, "Has the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to listen than the fat of rams ... Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, he has also rejected you from being king" (1 Sam. 15:22-23). In Matthew 7:21 Jesus declared, "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father which is in heaven." He then makes clear His meaning in verses 22-23 stating that many who are engaged in performing "good works," will, nevertheless, be rejected at the return of Christ because they were not doing the "will of God." A good deed does not necessarily make one acceptable to God merely because it results in good being done to someone else; our works are acceptable to God only to the extent they are in harmony with the will of God and a fulfillment of His purpose. God has not called us merely to do good works, but to do His will and move under the direction of His Spirit. We must be willing to resign from the delusion of religious commotion and be still, patiently waiting upon Him as He teaches us how to become sensitive to His voice, in order that He might make us to be "fruitful in every good work." The Spirit is calling us to be crucified with Christ, for it is on the cross that He teaches us how to grow quiet in order to hear His voice; and it is here that He rids our hearts of all the wrong notions about God's will for our lives and how He intends to fulfill His greater purpose through the Body of Christ in this end of the age. It is upon the disciple's return to Calvary, when he has been crucified with Christ, that the Spirit will then begin to teach him how to- 3. Speak to the Mountain. And on the morrow, when they were center from Bethany, he was hungry: And seeing a tree afar off having leaves, he came, if happily He might find something therein: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet. And Jesus answered and said unto it; No man eat fruit of you hereafter forever. And his disciples heard it. And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which you cursed is withered away. And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. For truly I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, be removed, and be cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he says shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he says. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever you desire, when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you shall have them (Mark 11:12-14, 20-24). The importance of faith in the life of the Christian is emphasized again and again in God's Word, for we are told that "without faith it is impossible to please him" (Heb. 11:6), and "whatsoever is not of faith is sin" (Rom. 14:23). The Christian has been called to walk by faith and to live a life of total trust in God. Sadly, however, the faith of the average Christian rises little above that of the world generally. Doubt and unbelief in the life of a Christian constitutes disobedience to the revealed will of God Who commands us to have faith and to trust Him implicitly in all things without reservation. Christians have an abundant inheritance provided for them by Christ's redemption. They are rich spiritually, materially, and physically, but too few are aware of this fact, believing instead that they are not to receive any of their 'inheritance now, or benefit from it in the present life, but only in the world to come. The Scriptures, on the contrary, declare that our inheritance belongs to us now, for God has promised that "all things are yours... whether the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours" (1 Corinthians 3:21-22). Healing, for example, has been provided for the believer and promised to him in God's Word (Isa. 53:4-5; Mt. 8:16-17; Mk. 16:18, James 5:14-15). It should be obvious that such a promise has no meaning unless it is valid here and now, for the believer will not need healing in the hereafter, inasmuch as he will not be subject to sickness. And so it is with almost all God’s promises-they are for the present, for it is now, in this life, that we have need of food, clothing, shelter, healing, health, protection, deliverance from fear, oppression, and so on. The Scriptures are filled with divine assurances, rights, privileges, blessings, and promises given to the believer whereby God has made provision for our every spiritual, physical, and material need, as well as for the accomplishment of the work He has commissioned His Church to do in the fulfillment of His will. All these provisions and blessings are available to the extent that we are willing to press through by faith and appropriate them. Moreover, if we are willing to meet the conditions, then we do not have to beg or persuade Him to fulfill His promises to us, for God assures us that He has already said "yes" to every promise He has made (2 Cor. 1:20), and that He does not go back on His word (Num. 23:19). It is sad to see some Christians who have accepted this deeper message who, nevertheless, have no real faith to sustain them in it, teaching the same errors as the institutional churches that an important part of our crucifixion is the absence of material blessings and the acceptance of sickness and pain. Such a view is completely out of harmony with the Word of God, for healing and the promise of the supply of all our needs have been provided in the atonement, and promised again and again in the scriptures. They are to be appropriated by faith as a part of our inheritance. Failure to ask for healing when one is sick, and to believe for God's daily provision for our temporal needs, is to ignore His promises, frustrate His will and purpose for our lives, and make Christ's sufferings and death at Calvary to provide us these blessings all in vain. The crucifixion the Christian is called upon to experience is not that of physical sickness, pain, and poverty, but the crucifixion of self. One may give up all his possessions and still not lose his affection for these things. In giving up the self-life one loses his affection for material things as ends in themselves, and as a result God can, with confidence, bless him abundantly just as He has promised in Philippians 4:19, where the Apostle Paul declares that "My God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." Note carefully that God promises here to bless us richly by Christ Jesus which clearly means that all our needs (temporal as well as spiritual) were provided for in Christ's atonement, for all that we receive from God comes to us only as a result of Christ's work at Calvary (cf. 2 Cor. 1:20). Likewise, to contend that God sometimes uses sickness to make the believer more spiritual, or allows us to suffer occasionally in order to draw some lost or backslidden member of our family to Him, is in effect saying that we must add our suffering to that of Christ at Calvary. But the Scriptures plainly declare that "Surely he (Christ) has carried away our diseases, and borne our pains and with His stripes we are healed" (Isa. 53:4-5 Matt 8:17) Moreover, God draws your unsaved and backslidden loved ones to Him by the sufferings of Christ, not yours! Jesus' words in John 12:32-33 forever settle this fact: "And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, I will draw all men unto me". This he said, signifying what death he should die." Only the Christian that refuses to accept sickness and poverty, knowing that they come from the hand of Satan (Jn. 10:10, Acts 10:38), and who walks in total faith in God in these matters, can fulfill God's perfect will in his life. Otherwise, he will find that he spends a good part of his time disabled with sickness and unable to serve the Lord as he should. Furthermore, much time is wasted in concern for supplying his temporal needs, instead of seeking first the Kingdom of God and allowing Him to provide these things as He promises in His Word (Matt. 6:19-34; Phil. 4:19). Thus, he must waste a good deal of his prayer time, which could be utilized for others, praying for, and concerned with, himself, instead of the work of the Kingdom. Very obviously "self" is not crucified when one spends so much time ministering to itself. It is only by walking in total faith, appropriating God's provisions which He has promised, do we have the health, strength, time, and provisions to fulfill His will in our lives. Are you concerned with fulfilling God's will in your life? God's will can be accomplished in the life of the Christian onIy to the extent he is willing to trust Him. Did you know that God has pledged Himself to direct each step of your life? The condition, however, is faith - total trust in God in all things without reservation. The promise is found in Proverbs 3:5-8: Trust in the Lord with all your heart; and lean not unto your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your paths. There are three conditions of faith in this promise which the Christian must meet if he expects such divine direction of his life: (1) total trust in the Lord ("Trust in the Lord with all thine heart"); (2) lack of trust in oneself ("and lean not unto thine own understanding"); and (3) a constant confession of these two facts ("in all thy ways acknowledge him"). (1) Total trust in the Lord. Many Christians today reveal their great lack of faith in that they have no real confidence in God to keep the promises He has made them. This is reflected in their unwillingness to ask in faith what He has provided for them and promised to them; or when they do ask Him to fulfill a promise to meet some need, they condition their prayers by saying, "Grant this request Lord if it be Your will." Prayer conditioned with "if" for something God has promised is not a prayer of faith, and is one's confession that he is not sure God will be faithful and fulfill what He has promised to do. It is a terrifying thought to most Christians to suggest that God expects them to trust Him alone for their health, healing, finances, employment, protection, and so on. As a result they carefully arrange their lives so that they will never have to suffer the embarrassment of having to depend solely on Him in case of accident, sickness, financial distress, or some other emergency. Unlike the saints of old, who had only God to rely on for their provision, deliverance, and protection, the pampered saints of our generation have surrounded themselves with many fleshly substitutes for faith, while the financial institutions, together with the medical and accident insurance companies, are growing rich as a result of their doubt, fear, and unbelief. The life of faith means simply to "trust in the Lord with all your heart." Faith knows nothing of alternatives, substitutes, helps, or exceptions. Total trust in the Lord is to confess with the Psalmist: "I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in Him will I trust" (Ps. 91:2.). Total trust in the Lord is based upon the confidence that God is faithful to do all He has pledged Himself to do; thus, the Scriptures encourage us to "hold fast to the confession of our faith without doubting; for he is faithful that promised" (Heb. 10:23). The lack of true faith among professing believers today stems largely from the fact that people have been taught so many wrong ideas about the Biblical promises concerning such things as divine healing, the baptism in the Holy Spirit, speaking in tongues, the presence and activity of demons, provision for our temporal needs, the miraculous and supernatural. So many half-truths have been taught about God's promises that Christians today do not know what to believe. The trouble with a half-truth is that people usually believe the wrong half. I have found in my ministry of teaching what faith is that before I can get Christians to the place that they can once more begin to appropriate the promises of God and start living on the level of their inheritance, I must first of all get them to see that there are certain things concerning the Christian faith which are just not debatable, and that the Word of God is clear on these things. Moreover, when human opinion contradicts the plain teaching of the Word, then we must flatly reject man's interpretation of God's promises and take a stand with the Word. His promises are generally clear enough and need no special interpretation or explanation, which often robs them of their validity and effectiveness for this day. When we are promised that "the prayer of faith shall heal the sick,” and that "My God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory," that "there shall no evil befall you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling," that "if any two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven," that "what things soever you desire, when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you shall have them," and that God "forgives all your iniquities; (and) heals all your diseases," then the Word is clear enough and needs no interpretation, but is simply to be acted upon in faith. There are literally thousands of such promises in the Scriptures which may be appropriated by faith. We find that Christians today, who are willing to lay aside men's opinion concerning God's Word and trust in the Lord with all their hearts, discover that Jesus is indeed the same yesterday, today, and forever (Heb. 13:8), and that God will not fail to fulfill any promise which He has made (Num.23:19) (2) Lack of trust in oneself. The second condition to meet, if we are to expect divine direction for our lives, is stated thus: "lean not upon your own understanding." How many times have you prayed for guidance concerning God's will in some matter about which there was no specific revelation of His will in the Scriptures, but already had your mind made up as to what you desired to do and how you wanted God to answer your prayer? Do you at times, as you pray, wish to reserve the right to refuse the path God shows you in the event the cost seems too great, or in case His will is not in line with what you really wanted to do? In such instances are you not actually saying that you believe your wisdom and understanding concerning your need is greater than God's and is not such prayer in reality little more than an attempt to obtain God's approval on the course of action you have already decided to take? Again, we often see the substitution of human understanding for faith in God when a specific promise in His Word has been asked for, such as a promise of healing, provision of some special need, or the salvation or deliverance of a loved one. When the Christian is required to suffer a trial in connection with obtaining the answer, or when the circumstances seem to get worse for a time, then we find that many times he will begin to rely on his own wisdom in an attempt to "help" God provide the answer or solve the problem. So many are willing to trust God only up to a certain point, but then begin to panic if the symptoms become worse, or when the money they prayed for has not arrived by the deadline, or if the alcoholic husband or backslidden daughter they had prayed to the Lord for seems to be getting more hopeless daily. It is then that they will often seek to force open some door before it is God's time, or seek to change the adverse circumstance in some way. Leaning on one's own understanding results from a lack of trust in God, and invariably hinders Him in answering the prayer, often making it impossible for Him to help such individuals. We cannot expect divine direction of our lives unless we are willing to humble ourselves and admit that our fallible wisdom and intellect are incapable of solving the complexities of life or in fulfilling God's perfect will in our lives. (3) Constant Confession. The third condition for receiving divine direction for our lives is stated as follows: "In all your ways acknowledge him." This is the constantly saying that we are not leaning unto our own understanding, but are trusting the Lord in every detail of our lives. To acknowledge Himin all our ways means that we will speak God's blessing, protection, and guidance at all times, and not boast, as so many do, of our own achievements, nor say of how "fortunate" we were in receiving the unexpected raise in salary, or how "lucky" we were when no one was injured in the recent accident. Acknowledging God in all our ways is in reality a statement of faith in Him. If we genuinely believe that He is directing our every step, it will be reflected in our daily conversation. Sadly, Satan has somehow brought about the sad situation where we find that very often Christians seem to be acknowledging the enemy in all their ways, instead of the Lord. If you do not believe this, then just listen to the conversation and talking of the average Christian day to day. In reply to the simple, friendly greeting, "How are you today?" you may be surprised how often Christians immediately begin to confess that Satan has the victory over them. We hear such replies as, "Oh, I'm not feeling too well today," or "I believe I am trying to take the flu. "When asked to help in some aspect of the Lord's work, not infrequently Christians will decline, saying, "I would be afraid to attempt that," or "Perhaps you should ask someone else, as I am sure I would fail." Another laments, "If the cost of living keeps going up, I just don't know what I'm going to do. I suppose my wife will just have to go to work to help make ends meet." "I committed the problem in my marriage to the Lord several months ago," one discouraged wife tells another, "but the situation shows no marked improvement, and I must say that I am just about ready to give the whole thing up."

  • SATAN'S STRATEGIES AGAINST CHRISTIANS UNVEILED IN THE SECOND HEAVEN

    by Moses Lushiku 6

    Let me give a brief statement about my call and vocation from the Lord. It happened one day as I
    was laying down on the courtyard of my house when suddenly a force took over me. As a result, my
    spirit went out of my body and I was taken to the sky. When I got there in the atmosphere I saw the
    Lord Jesus Christ.

    Beloved, when you meet the Lord Jesus Christ you will know that you are standing before God
    Himself. It is automatic when the Lord Jesus Christ set His eyes on you. His anointing will be
    transferred to you and your understanding will be renewed and enlightened instantaneously and you
    will be connected to the supernatural.

    The Lord said to me, "Look at the earth."
    When I looked at planet Earth the Lord said, "When you divide the earth into three portions that are
    the proportion of humanity that will be saved through your message and your ministry."
    The Lord said, "You are an end time servant. I will use your ministry and others to bring about the
    rapture of the church. Your ministry will be prophetic in order to prepare My people for the
    rapture."
    A few weeks later I was convinced by the Spirit of the Lord to spend some time in the church for
    prayer. As a result, I began to spend most of my time in the church in prayer. In fact, I left my house
    in order to sleep in the church for prayer. I spent eight consecutive months in the presence of the
    Lord. This was not a result of an audible voice recommendation but a simple conviction of the Holy
    Spirit.

    I was sleeping in the church. Later I was joined by members of my church. They were touched by
    the fact that I have left behind my house in order to pray and sleep in the church for many months.

    Then one day in the morning after prayer something happened. I was talking to a member of my
    church when suddenly I saw three beings of extreme beauty dressed in white garments of luminous
    glow. These tall and robust angels were not touching the ground. These were supernatural entities.

    The first angel introduced himself to me and said, "I'm the Archangel Michael. I work in the field of
    spiritual warfare. It is written that the angel of the Lord encamps around them that fear Him (Ps
    34:7). I am the one who encamped around the children of God. I will reveal to you the secrets about
    the kingdom of Lucifer in spiritual warfare. I will tell you the secrets about the devil because I
    know him. I was the leader of the regiment that cast him out of heaven."
    Rev 12:7-9 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the
    dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in
    heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which
    deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

    The second angel introduced himself to me as Gabriel. He said to me, "I am the one who appeared
    to your sister Mary in order to announce her the good news about the birth of the Savior. The Bible
    says, "God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth a city in Galilee. The angel went to a virgin promised
    in marriage to a descendant of David named Joseph. The Virgin's name was Mary. When the angel
    entered her home he greeted her and said, 'You are favored by the Lord. The Lord is with you.' She
    was startled by what the angel said and tried to figure out what this greeting meant. The angel told
    her, "Don't be afraid Mary you have found favor with God. You will become pregnant and give birth
    to a son and name Him Jesus. He will be a great man and will be called the Son of the Most High.

    The Lord God will give Him the throne of His ancestor David. Your Son will be king of Jacob's
    people forever and His kingdom will never end." (Luke 1:26-33)
    Beloved, when I heard the Archangel Gabriel calling Mary the mother of the Lord Jesus Christ "My
    sister" I felt a special feeling, a feeling of pride and prestige. Then Gabriel said to me, "I am the one
    who gives believers messages in dreams and visions. When they are in deep sleep I will reveal a lot
    of things to them."
    Actually, the Archangel Gabriel revealed to me 100 secrets contained in Jesus' parables. Then the
    Archangel Gabriel said, "We come to your churches and to your houses and we walk by your side
    yet you people are so busy with everyday preoccupation which has reduced your spiritual
    sensibility. Therefore you cannot sense our presence around you and you cannot see us although we
    are everyday around you. But the fact that many of the children of God are seeing us these days it is
    an indication that the event of the return of the Son of God is at hand. I will reveal to you secrets
    about life beyond the grave and the end of time."
    The third angel seems different from Michael and Gabriel. He introduced himself as Marvelous. He
    said, "I am the angel that appeared to the mother of Samson. The Bible says, "A man of Zorah
    named Manoah from the clan of the Danites had a wife who was childless unable to give birth. The
    angel of the Lord appeared to her and said, 'You are barren and childless but you are going to
    become pregnant and give birth to a son. Now see to it that you drink no wine or other fermented
    drink and that you do not eat anything unclean. You will become pregnant and have a son whose
    head is never to be touched by a razor because the boy is to be a Nazarite dedicated to God from the
    womb. He will take the lead in delivering Israel from the hands of the Philistines." (Judges 13:2-5)
    The angel Marvelous said, "I work in the field of salvation." And at the end times, this angel with
    the name of Marvelous was the Lord Jesus Christ Himself.

    After this first encounter, the next four days were days of angelic visitation as the whole church was
    able to hear the voice of the angels of the Lord.

    On the fifth day of angelic visitations, something happened. It was on the 10th of February 2007 at
    5:00 p.m. The Archangel Michael who promised to reveal to me secrets about the devil and spiritual
    warfare came and he held my right hand.

    Immediately my spirit left my body. Michael held my right hand. We took a speedy flight. We
    began to ascend in the speed of light and we found ourselves in the atmosphere and over there in
    space the Archangel asked me, "Do you know where we are going?" I was about to respond when
    he said, "Lucifer has summoned a meeting in the 2nd heaven which will start in a few minutes. The
    kingdom of heaven has chosen you as their representative to take part in that meeting and reveal the
    contents of this gathering to the world."
    A few minutes later we arrived in the second heaven. Then we entered the auditorium which was a
    huge oval hall. This place was between heaven and the earth. The chief angel Michael said to me,
    "Fear not and don't panic. You just stand by my side. You must observe and listen to everything.

    You have been commissioned to tell the world everything you will see and hear."
    Actually, as I was attending this gathering in the 2nd heaven the Lord Jesus Christ had entered my
    body that was left on the earth and He took complete control of my senses. He was addressing the
    people of God in the church while my spirit was attending this summit in the atmosphere.

    Back in the auditorium in the second heaven, I noticed that the hall was full to capacity. Demons of
    all kinds and people from all nations were waiting for the prince of this world, the devil. Once we
    got in the meeting hall the chief angel Michael said to me, "Very soon you will see our enemy
    which is your enemy." We were hovering over this auditorium when suddenly I heard a thunderous
    explosion. This detonation was the arrival of Lucifer. The devil did not arrive like everybody else
    but in a thunderous explosion.

    SATAN WITH DOG HEAD

    I saw Satan for the first time on the 10 of February 2007. Immediately after landing in the oval
    auditorium the devil transformed himself. I mean his head turned to that of a dog. Then he said to
    the participants, "Do not be surprised by my emblem of a dog head. I took the appearance of the
    dog because I want to demonstrate to you that I am God. The reason that I summoned you today is
    that I heard the other One claiming that He is God and that He wants to save humanity."
    The devil and demons of Hell don't quote the name of Jesus Christ for fear of adverse effects. The
    devil refers to Jesus Christ as "The Other One." Then with a hand sign, the devil removed the
    sealing of the oval Hall and he caused the assistants to rise beyond the ceiling of the auditorium.

    I saw the assistants suspended in space and observing planet Earth. I have to admit that I managed
    to recognize some faces of the assistants. Then I saw the devil pointing a particular section of the
    earth. He actually zoomed to a section of the earth. As a result, we saw people getting on with their
    lives in that section of the earth but strangely all the people on that section of the earth had dog
    heads just like Lucifer himself.

    Afterward, the devil zoomed to another geographic section of the earth and we saw the human
    population of that part of the earth with dog heads. Then the devil zoomed to still another section of
    planet Earth and we saw people in different churches. We saw pastors, we saw evangelists, church
    singers, deacons in the church with dog heads. Churches were full of believers, preachers, and
    singers with dog heads.

    Afterward, the devil got the assistants back in the auditorium. Then he said to the participants, "You
    saw with your own eyes 80% of the world population with dog heads which is my emblem. You
    saw with your own eyes many believers preachers singers with my emblem of a dog head. They
    have my image and my likeness. They look like me yet the other One who claimed to be God the
    savior of humanity has only 20% of the world population. The question every one of you is to ask
    and to answer is this, 'Who is God - Him or me?' He has only 20% of the world population. Who is
    powerful - Him or me? It is written in their law that the dog has returned to what he has vomited.

    When the devil said this I remember the passage in 2 Peter 2:21-22, For it had been better for them
    not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy
    commandment delivered unto them. But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The
    dog has turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.

    Then I saw the devil still with his dog head. He vomited on his pulpit and then he consumed his
    vomit. Then he said to the assistants, "It is thanks to my power that 80% of the world population are
    sinners and the majority of the believers have backslidden. Any Christian that has backslidden has
    adopted my emblem of the dog head. He has my image."
    At that moment I saw the assistants that were made up of demons and humans falling down on their
    knees worshipping the devil and declaring him God. The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 4:4, 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.

    The assistants were worshipping the devil and saying, "You are God because 80 percent of the
    world population resembled you. They have your image and your emblem. You are more powerful
    than the other One who has only twenty percent of the world population."
    Dear believers every time we are living in sin we are adopting the emblem of the devil which is a
    dog head. The Bible says whosoever practices sin is of the devil.

    He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose, the
    Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. (1 Jn 3:8)
    I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. Blessed are they that do
    His commandments (“Blessed are they that wash their robes.” - other translations), that they may
    have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. For without are dogs,
    and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh
    a lie. (Rev 22:13-15)
    As the worship of Lucifer was going on, the Archangel Michael and I stood in a diagonal position to
    the pulpit of the devil and then the devil started the meeting which was to last four months. In the
    firmament, he began to unveil his 80 strategies against humanity in the church. His words were
    automatically printed on a book called "Techniques and Tactics." That book is also called a "Traps
    Trigger" which means how to set a trap for the foolish man and the imprudent.

    The gathering in the firmament lasted four months. Basically every time the devil was unveiling a
    strategy he was adjourning the meeting in order to deploy demons to execute the new strategy in
    various regions of the earth and sometimes demons were traveling in a dimension beyond our
    physical world.

    In the meantime, the meeting would be suspended and the participants would be waiting for their
    return and their report. These demons were traveling to many parts of the earth that were in night or
    day times. They were traveling long distances in a split second or very few minutes and they were
    traveling to several countries, continents, and cities. They were also traveling to the marine
    kingdom, the subterranean kingdom and even to the firmament. And every time these demons were
    traveling to the cosmos I had to follow them in order to see what is happening and how they were
    executing their missions.

    I was ordered continuously by the Archangel Michael to follow them. As a result, I have been to
    many invisible kingdoms of Lucifer and I have accumulated knowledge of the tactics and strategies
    of the enemy. In this message, I will bring you words of Lucifer exactly as he said them so that
    everybody would understand the kingdom of darkness. As it is written, "You will know the truth
    and the truth will set you free." (John 8:32)
    Then the devil started to address the assistants with arrogance. He said to the participants, "I have
    gathered you today because we have an opponent. I heard Him saying that He wants to save
    humanity. That is why I have gathered you today so that we can prevent that from happening. Today
    I will deliver a few strategies in order to cause His followers to become weak and vulnerable so that
    our kingdom will grow on the earth."

    THE LAW OF REPETITION AND RESISTANCE

    Then Lucifer started to enumerate and elaborate on his strategies which were a total of 80 points.

    The devil disclosed the first strategy that he called vaccine or the law of repetition and resistance.

    He said, "Through this strategy, we will impose law in the lives of born-again Christians. Basically,
    the followers of Jesus Christ have a luminous ring of fire above their head and this orbit of fire
    above their head is potentially destructive. It can neutralize us, therefore, I want to underline that
    you should not come close to Christians as long as their ring of fire is shining and burning. We must
    initially put out the fire of that ring of light before engaging them for fear of defeat."
    "Let it be clear if you come to report to me after being wrecked because of the ring of fire I will be
    left with no choice but to destroy you. Do not come close to Christians as long as their fire is
    burning and glowing. You must observe and monitor them before taking any action against them.

    On the other hand, it will be apparent that when these people commit sin, the fiery ring of light will
    go off. Their light would be put out as a result of sin. It is only that way that they will become
    vulnerable. In fact, your mission is to get born-again Christians to commit sin in order to turn off
    the ring of fire and light above their heads."
    Dear believers, there is a ring of fire above the head of each born-again Christian which is self
    generating electric energy of God. The Bible says you are the light of the world (Matt 5:14). A
    Christian is full of divine and electric energy and the electricity charges from God are running all
    over his system. That is why a demon would not come close to a Christian.

    Then the devil said to the assistants, "You must use the method of surveillance and monitoring. I
    order you to watch them and their families in order to mount a surveillance system around born
    again Christians. Do not do anything against them before mounting a system of surveillance and
    monitoring and when they sin you will notice that their light and fire emanating from the luminous
    ring and orbit of fire will go off. The moment a born-again Christian commits sin, you will report to
    me because this is the best time to attack them. On this basis, you have to understand that sin is our
    gospel and sin will be our gospel. Sin is the mechanism by which the luminous flame of the believer
    goes off."
    And I saw the devil instructed his demon to report to him every time a Christian sinned because that
    is of a critical moment to strike him. I come today to beseech you Christians to keep your flame
    luminous. Every born-again Christian has the responsibility of keeping his luminous ring of fire
    turned on. The Bible says that John was a burning and shining lamp and you were willing to rejoice
    for a while in his light (John 5:35). The Satanic world is desperate to get Christian fire and light to
    go off. They can do nothing against believers as long as the ring of fire is burning and shining. It is
    sin that turns off the light of the believer inducing in him a time of vulnerability and fragility.

    After explaining this strategy, I saw the devil summoning eight demons to step forward and he gave
    them syringes. The devil said to them, "Every time a born-again Christian is caught in the act of
    sinning you will inject this vaccine called the law of resistance and repetition in him. When a
    Christian is caught in sin, you will surround him and you will pray. You will summon me in the
    following prayer, "O supreme master Lucifer this is your victim who has listened to your voice and
    he has obeyed your order and instruction. Come and enter his body which is your temple." When
    you say this prayer I will come in a speed of lightning and I will enter the body of this believer and I
    will vaccinate him with the law of resistance and repetition. As a consequence, he will fall
    repeatedly in that sin despite his fasting despite his decision to abandon his sin. The victim will
    always fall in that sin because he is vaccinated with the law of repetition. Even if the believer
    confessed his sin but as he is injected with the law of repetition he will become a slave of that sin.

    He will repeat that sin again and again despite his remorse despite his will his fasting and his
    determination.

    Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. (John 8:34)
    Then the devil said to eight demons standing before him, "After you vaccinated the victim seven of
    you will leave him but you will stay and be stationed around the victim. You will monitor and
    surveil this Christian in case this believer feel the guilt and he is manifesting the will to repent and
    abandon his repetitive sin. I order the demon stationed around him for monitoring him to call the
    other seven demons. Once they joined you the head, you will call me again in this following prayer,
    "O supreme master, this is your victim who wants to rebel from you and escape your bondage." At
    that moment I will come down at the speed of lightning. I will enter his body in order to shake the
    vaccine in him. As a result, the victim will weaken and will have the tendency to return to that sin
    despite his will to escape."
    Then I saw on a pulpit of the devil a mirror. The devil did an incantation prayer. As a result, this
    mirror was multiplied. It was distributed to the assistants. The devil said, "Before attacking a
    Christian you must make sure that he is visible in the mirror."
    Beloved when a demon is coming to fight you, he is coming with information and precision. He is
    well informed about your condition.

    The devil said to the assistants, "That Fellow (Jesus) has branded me the prince of this world. If
    only one of them affectionate himself with the things of this world his profile will be visible in the
    mirror. Some of their attitudes are my nature like anger, animosity, envy, and hate. Those who are in
    these things belong to our kingdom automatically. But remember to check in the mirror before
    doing anything against them. If they appear in the mirror it means that they are in a state of
    weakness and their weakness and sin are my nature."

    ATTACK THE AREAS OF THEIR NEEDS

    The next strategy is called: NEED.

    Lucifer said, "We must watch and analyse the emotions and the feelings of Christians by observing
    their 3 needs: Marriage, Finance, and Ambition."
    He continued, "If you have been fighting one of them, and failing because of their holiness, and
    righteousness, just give up but focus on their marriage. Wait until when they will think about getting
    married. You will work to inject suggestion in their head to get them to make a false choice. It is
    from here that upright people will fall when they make a wrong choice, and we get them to marry
    our representative, by investigating their criteria, and preference."
    Lucifer said, "As we have many enterprises and corporations on earth, you will be arranged so that
    they end up working in our companies and businesses, and they will be surrounded by our agents.

    They will be paid salary with our bewitched money and they will sign contract with us without
    knowing. I asked my demons to give them initiative so that they can expand their business, as a
    result, they will always be focused on the material world."
    The devil always fights the marriage because this is a covenant that makes people one in marriage.

    There is a law called the law of fusion which make 2 people 1. And the devil likes it so that he can
    unite wheat and tares together to create fusion and confusion.

    CONDEMNATION DUE TO WORDS COMING OUT OF OUR MOUTHS

    My dear believers, I am here to bring words from the enemy exactly as I heard it in his meeting in
    the firmament. I heard the devil unveiling one strategy after another. Then he unveiled a strategy
    against the church called condemnation.

    He said, "My agent demons followers and demons observers, you have a very important role to
    play. Your purpose is to observe and listen to what comes out of the mouths of believers. You're
    gonna have to be patient. You must follow them and listen carefully to words coming out of their
    mouths. Actually, these humans claimed to have been created in the image and the likeness of God
    but this is what we will do to them. We have five strategies in order to condemn them on the basis
    of what comes from their mouth."
    The first strategy is during the TIME OF ANGER. The devil said to demons observers and
    followers, "In the time of anger humans don't control their words and they don't control their
    decisions nor their actions. Therefore, this is a critical time in order to capture their words and
    condemn them."
    Beloved, you must understand that when you are angry there are demons assigned by the devil to
    observe you and to capture words from your mouth and decision you make. Therefore when you are
    angry you must learn to hold your tongue. You must not sleep with anger and you must forgive. The
    Bible says death and life are in the power of the tongue and those who love it will eat its fruit.

    (Proverbs 18:21) The devil will use your words to condemn you.

    The second critical moment is the TIME OF CHOICE as the devil said to his demons, "Condemn
    people pronouncing a word of love. When you hear a human saying to his partner, "You are my
    angel," his guardian angel must leave on the basis of his own word. As a result, his partner will take
    the angel place. He is condemned by his own word. When someone says I will only marry this or
    that type of man this is verbal government binding him. He is inviting the spirit of singleness."
    Beloved, people are binding themselves in covenants through words spoken from their mouth. It is
    necessary to cancel negative words. There are words you say that will destroy your life as they are
    captured and brought to pass by demons.

    The third tactic is in TIMES OF HUMAN SUFFERING. The devil said to his demons observers
    and followers, "In a time of suffering and hardship I always hear humans saying, 'Oh I am
    miserable. I am unlucky in my life. Everything I do is not working.'" The devil orders these demons
    to bring to pass those words and sentences spoken by humans during their hard times as many
    cursed and condemned themselves through their own mouths.

    CAUSING BELIEVERS TO BE LAZY AND HEAVY

    Then the devil unveiled an additional strategy that will cause believers to be heavy so that they
    won't be able to pray or read the Bible or attend the church. As a result, they will become an
    ordinary human being. The devil insisted to the participants by saying, "Do not let them pray. Do
    not let them read the scripture. Do not let them go to church. Do not let them tithe."
    Then I saw the devil summoning a demon that looked like Superman. This demon was dressed in
    red and blue just like Superman but the devil called him superhuman. He said to him, "I have
    chosen you to visit Christians at home in the days of their church service. You must be informed
    about their church program five hours before it starts. You're gonna blow on them the bluish smoke.

    As a result, they will become heavy and they will feel like not going to church. They will feel
    uncomfortable." The devil said to him, "Blow your bluish smoke even on their cars. As a result, the
    unexplained breakdown will happen. They will seek justification not to attend church and they will
    have them."
    Lucifer said to the superhuman, "You shall move from one Christian house to another and you shall
    blow your bluish smoke. As a result, there shall be procrastination. As a consequence, they shall be
    incapable of praying even if they set the clock. The same thing with Bible reading. They will have
    the feeling of doing something relaxing instead of going to church."

    PERSON NAMES AS A TOOL TO DESTROY THEM

    Then the devil unveiled another strategy called name. The devil said, "We will use people's names
    as a tool of manipulation in order to destroy them." It is clear that the devil is always seeking ways
    to destroy humanity and he said to the demons, "You will make sure that their lives have become
    their names."
    Beloved, in the Bible, when God called people He changed their names. If you do not have a
    positive name you better change it now. The Bible says in Gen 32:28, Thy name shall be called no
    more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.

    I heard the devil saying the spirit of homonym (words with the same sound but have different
    meanings) will follow the hominin (all humankind).

    Examples of homonym are Bat - an implement used to hit a ball / a nocturnal flying mammal
    Bright - very smart or intelligent / filled with light
    Circular - taking the form of a circle / a store advertisement
    The second issue about a name is that when you name yourself or your child after a family member
    or a friend the nature of that person can be transferred to you or your child through the channel of
    the name and there are these demons, followers, and observers. Their job is that every time your
    name is called they have to transform you into your name. Every time your name is called they will
    get meaning of that name to come to pass and fulfill in your life so that you become your name.

    BEWITCHMENT THRU BEAUTY AND HYGIENE PRODUCTS

    The devil announced another strategy called beauty and hygiene products. I saw the devil order 30
    demons to travel back under the ocean and while these 30 demons were leaving the oval auditorium
    heading underwater, the Archangel Michael order me to follow them. This was our secondary
    journey beneath the ocean and this time around the devil sent these demons to meet underwater
    sirens so that they can design beauty and makeup products. When we were leaving the oval hall the
    devil interrupted the meeting in order to wait for the contingent of 30 demons to bring back beauty
    products.

    When we arrived underwater it's like the water siren and goddess Lamaze who knew already what
    Lucifer wanted. She could also read the mind of these demons. In fact, every time the devil think
    about something he can transfer his thought quickly to his collaborators. The devil possesses a
    network that allows him to inject thought to his followers. When Jesus said to Peter, "Get thee
    behind me, Satan," He was dealing with a thought from the devil that he transferred to Peter's mind.

    That's how the devil work.

    I saw demons of all kinds under the ocean. I saw sirens under the ocean who were very beautiful
    women. They were extremely beautiful as though they were changing faces. I remember their
    names such as Alice and Jacqueline Sol Ange Lily Liliane Juliet. Then I saw their great lady,
    the Queen of the Coast manipulating the sand beneath the water and turning them to beauty
    products.

    I saw powder, lipstick, lotions, soap and many more. There were tons of these beauty products. I
    saw a siren in the name of Juliet printing her face and her name on the wrapping and embossed on
    the soap. This soap called Juliet is still used in our region and our country. When you use that soap
    the power of seduction of Juliet will be at work on your appearance which is artificial beauty.

    Therefore you must pray for these beauty products as the Bible says to pray ceaselessly even in
    little things. And then the devil said, "We will dressed women with a mask of ugliness and old age
    in order to undermine their marriage and cause their husbands to be tired of them."
    The 30 demons transported these beauty products from the underwater to the oval meeting hall in
    the second heaven. As the hall was oval they placed them in the middle of the hall. There were
    lipsticks, soaps, lotions, deodorants, fragrance, and others. Then the devil resumed the meeting and
    I watched as the devil began to curse these beauty products.

    The devil said, "We will spread demonic smells on women or men that are using our deodorants and
    fragrances. The moment their sweat mixed with our deodorants they will smell like some of our
    demons."
    Actually, demons have their smells and I know these smells. Some demons smell a mixture of
    deodorants and sweat. Other smells like acid.

    Then Lucifer said, "Women using our products will have artificial beauty. They will have the beauty
    of my servants the sirens and mermaid printed on their face. It is this way that we will spread
    fornication on the earth. When women use these beauty products they will become irresistible."
    The devil said, "Every time a human will envy these women because of the beauty of my servants
    the sirens and mermaids they will be admiring and worshipping images of the things under the sea
    which are sirens and mermaids."
    As far as the devil is concerned, the pictures of sirens and mermaids on makeup products are equal
    to building an image of things from under the sea. These beautiful faces of sirens and mermaids that
    are printed on the makeup and beauty products are a representation of sirens and mermaids as it is
    written you shall not make for yourself an idol or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the
    earth beneath or in the water under the earth. (Ex 20:4)
    Now the question is, "Should women use beauty products?" Yes, women can but they should also
    have discernment and pray. We should learn to pray for everything. I mean everything we buy in the
    market we need a life of ceaseless prayer (1 Thess 5:17). When I was in the marine Kingdom I saw
    sirens designing beauty products and they were printing their faces on these different lotions and
    beauty products.

    I heard Lucifer saying repeatedly, "Let fight. Let not slow down. Let continue to work in order to
    separate believers from their Master."

    FORGETFULNESS TO DAILY SACRED DUTIES

    Then the devil unveiled a new strategy called forgetfulness. He said to the participants, "We must
    work to get believers to forget their daily sacred duty and obligation. As a result, they will be in
    discord with their Master. Their Master is supposed to be the central and a cornerstone of their lives
    but we must work so that their Lord will no longer be the central focus of their existence. Firstly let
    get them to forget praying, as a result, they will lack spiritual strength."
    Beloved when I heard this from the mouth of Lucifer, I understood that prayer gives believers
    spiritual strength and even the Bible says to pray ceaselessly (1 Thess 5:17). Then Lucifer said, "We
    must give them to forget about going to church by confusing church schedules. As a result, they will
    be without anointing."
    By these words, I understood that attending the church gives believers more anointing as it is
    written in the psalm of David, "Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell
    together in unity! It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even
    Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments. As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew
    that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life
    for evermore." (Psalms 133:1-3)
    The devil continued and he said, "Let them forget reading the Bible." Then the devil drew the
    attention of the participants by saying, "Be careful of that book. It is magical and powerful. They
    must not read it otherwise they will have the knowledge and they will uncover our actions."
    The devil continued and said, "Let them forget paying tithes so that we can ransack and plunder
    their houses and finances. We will send them hardships and sicknesses and cause them to spend
    beyond their means."
    These words made me understand the importance of tithing. Tithe protects our business and our
    finances and the scriptures says in Malachi 3:10-11, Bring you all the tithes into the storehouse, that
    there may be meat in my house, and prove me now herewith, said the LORD of hosts, if I will not
    open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough
    to receive it. And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of
    your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, said the LORD of
    hosts.

    Then the devil said again, "Let them forget their law so that they can sin. It is only after they sin that
    we can remind them of their law so that they can be in guilt."
    He continued to let them forget to take care of the leaders financially.

    HEREDITARY

    Then the devil announced another strategy that he called hereditary. Then Lucifer said, "For God
    loved the world so much that He gave His one and only Son so that everyone who believes in Him
    will not perish but have eternal life (John 3:16). This is humanity's favorite passage that I am
    reversing. For Satan so hate the world that he gave his own son Beelzebub so that whoever fell in
    his trap shall not be saved but perish forever."
    Then the devil exclaims and said, "I love Beelzebub because of his mission. He is gonna assist me
    to bring forth a great posterity. My great family is in the making. Behold I have so many people
    resembling me."
    Beloved, the Bible said that Jesus branded the high priests as the children of the devil because of
    their behavior. Jesus said, "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He
    was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him.

    When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar and the father of it." (John 8:44)
    The devil said, "I am branded as the father of lies, therefore, I need more children who are liars and
    who resemble me. That is why I order you Beelzebub to trap anybody practicing lies and
    incorporate them into my family. When any man would be deliberately lying in that very moment
    you get a hold of him to bring him inside my family. Indeed I am called the father of lies and liars
    are my children. Whatever their confession and profession whether they are pastors evangelists
    priests deacons, bring them to me for they are my children."
    Then the devil said to Beelzebub, "Incite people to pride because I am the father of pride. As a
    result, I will have many children. You're going to incite men to sin because it is written that I sinned
    right from the beginning and the more they are sinning the more children I have."
    "Beelzebub, I have always been treated as the opponent and the adversary so you gonna make sure
    that the whole world is in sin so that they would be opponents and adversaries of God and the more
    they are sinning the more children I have."
    "Beelzebub, they must despise the church and prayer. They must despise men of God. They must
    despise the holy things. They must oppose Bible traditions and values. They must denigrate
    Christianity."
    The devil said, "You Beelzebub my prime minister I charged you to combat the Word preached in
    churches all over the world."
    Actually, Lucifer has a global government and Beelzebub is the prime minister of his global
    government. The devil said to Beelzebub, "Let the Word preached in churches all over the world be
    without Revelation. Let their preaching be without edification. Let these preachers lose their fire
    and anointing. Let them be limited. Let them be focused on miracles. Let them be focused on
    prosperity. Let them be focused on the spectacular things."
    Beloved the devil wants the church to focus on earthly things and temporary things. Then Lucifer
    said, "It is written in their Scripture and their law that your Word is lamp unto my feet and a light
    unto my path and the moment the revelational Word which is the light is replaced by accessories
    and the materials items then there will be no more be light left in these churches but there will be
    darkness and as consequence the church will be my synagogue. If they continued and said the word
    of their Master and Lord has branded me as the Prince of Darkness it will be like a curse in these
    churches as I will be the Prince of these churches that are in darkness as a result of the corrupt word
    preached there."
    The devil said to Beelzebub, "You must stifle their leaders and preachers financially so that they
    lack the basic necessities. As a consequence, they will be overloaded with problems and setbacks.

    They will focus their attention on how to get by instead of spending their time on the Word and
    prayer.

    Beloved churches must organize in order to support the ministry so that the pastor can deal with the
    Word in order to spare him from working and taking care of himself.

    Then the devil said, "Let's target the pastors' wives so that there will not be harmony in their homes.

    As a result, the pastor will be demoralized with stress and sickness." The devil said. "Let's work so
    that we will send women to these pastors to get them to fornicate. As a result, they will become
    ordinary humans and carnal and it will be a defeat for the church."
    Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body, but he that committeth fornication
    sinneth against his own body. (1 Cor 6:18)

    OCCULTISM

    The devil unveiled a strategy called occultism. He said, "The purpose of this strategy is information
    gathering about believers. We will operate through two sectors. Firstly we will use animals as an
    instrument then we will use art objects. Concerning animals we are gonna use domestic animals
    closer to humans like dogs and cats. We will use dogs and cats as a camera in order to get
    information about these believers. These animals will be initiated into spiritism and they will be our
    instruments."
    We must underline that animals do not have a spirit but their bodies can be used as instruments or
    vehicles by the human spirits and demonic spirits.

    Lucifer said, "We are going to use sculpture and statues as instruments." Actually many statues and
    sculptural representation of occultic masters and the spirits of these masters dwell inside these
    statues and people who buy these objects and take them home will be under the influence of spirits
    dwelling in these art objects. Occultists want to enter your house through the object of art, a statue
    or sculpture. These spiritual masters double themselves and send a part of their spirit into the statues
    and when people buy these statues they are bringing a foreign presence in their homes. These
    strangers are represented through statues and they are observing and gathering information about
    you.

    PUTTING OUT THE CHURCH

    Then Lucifer announced a strategy called putting out the church. Lucifer then addressed the
    auditorium and he said, "This is the commission I am giving you witches and wizards. You must
    join churches and be stationed there permanently and you must combat the spiritual growth of local
    churches at all cost. But in case these churches are still growing then forget about spiritual methods.

    Resort to physical methods and subject these churches to criticism and foster divisions among
    them."
    Beloved, every time a local church is characterized by division, slandering, backstabbing, these are
    symptoms of witchcraft activities. I just want to underline that the church will grow only when a
    vision given to the man of God is fulfilled. The church will grow through the support of the
    members who must adapt and align to the vision of the man of God and they must bring their
    assistance and financial contribution.

    Then Lucifer said, "Let's make sure that in every single Church on earth there is at least one witch
    so that he can gather information and report to us." Then the devil said, "Let my servant witches and
    wizards that I assigned to churches be of good standard. You must have a good attitude and be
    closer to pastors in these churches. You must gather information about every local church on the
    surface of the earth and every Saturday at midnight I want you to report containing information
    about what is happening in these local churches."
    Then the devil says to them, "If you fail in your assignment then I will have to send female spirits of
    the sea. They will migrate to the surface of the earth and they will take human shape and they will
    join these churches. They will do your job." The devil insisted, "You must be permanent in these
    churches facilities. Your mission is to bring distraction through dialogue laughs and jokes
    socializing and fornication. You must wake up early before their prayer and bewitch the place of
    prayer so that intercessors will be heavy and will fail to pray effectively. The devil said, "For
    witches, it is enough to bewitch the church facilities. You just need to metamorphose to insects and
    blow the bluish smoke in order to change the atmosphere in the church facilities and prayer room.

    As a consequence, everybody will be heavy during the prayer." And then the devil said to the
    participants, "You must oppose revelational preaching and teaching."
    The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you! Amen.
    SATAN'S STRATEGIES AGAINST CHRISTIANS UNVEILED IN THE SECOND HEAVEN by Moses Lushiku 6 Let me give a brief statement about my call and vocation from the Lord. It happened one day as I was laying down on the courtyard of my house when suddenly a force took over me. As a result, my spirit went out of my body and I was taken to the sky. When I got there in the atmosphere I saw the Lord Jesus Christ. Beloved, when you meet the Lord Jesus Christ you will know that you are standing before God Himself. It is automatic when the Lord Jesus Christ set His eyes on you. His anointing will be transferred to you and your understanding will be renewed and enlightened instantaneously and you will be connected to the supernatural. The Lord said to me, "Look at the earth." When I looked at planet Earth the Lord said, "When you divide the earth into three portions that are the proportion of humanity that will be saved through your message and your ministry." The Lord said, "You are an end time servant. I will use your ministry and others to bring about the rapture of the church. Your ministry will be prophetic in order to prepare My people for the rapture." A few weeks later I was convinced by the Spirit of the Lord to spend some time in the church for prayer. As a result, I began to spend most of my time in the church in prayer. In fact, I left my house in order to sleep in the church for prayer. I spent eight consecutive months in the presence of the Lord. This was not a result of an audible voice recommendation but a simple conviction of the Holy Spirit. I was sleeping in the church. Later I was joined by members of my church. They were touched by the fact that I have left behind my house in order to pray and sleep in the church for many months. Then one day in the morning after prayer something happened. I was talking to a member of my church when suddenly I saw three beings of extreme beauty dressed in white garments of luminous glow. These tall and robust angels were not touching the ground. These were supernatural entities. The first angel introduced himself to me and said, "I'm the Archangel Michael. I work in the field of spiritual warfare. It is written that the angel of the Lord encamps around them that fear Him (Ps 34:7). I am the one who encamped around the children of God. I will reveal to you the secrets about the kingdom of Lucifer in spiritual warfare. I will tell you the secrets about the devil because I know him. I was the leader of the regiment that cast him out of heaven." Rev 12:7-9 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. The second angel introduced himself to me as Gabriel. He said to me, "I am the one who appeared to your sister Mary in order to announce her the good news about the birth of the Savior. The Bible says, "God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth a city in Galilee. The angel went to a virgin promised in marriage to a descendant of David named Joseph. The Virgin's name was Mary. When the angel entered her home he greeted her and said, 'You are favored by the Lord. The Lord is with you.' She was startled by what the angel said and tried to figure out what this greeting meant. The angel told her, "Don't be afraid Mary you have found favor with God. You will become pregnant and give birth to a son and name Him Jesus. He will be a great man and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give Him the throne of His ancestor David. Your Son will be king of Jacob's people forever and His kingdom will never end." (Luke 1:26-33) Beloved, when I heard the Archangel Gabriel calling Mary the mother of the Lord Jesus Christ "My sister" I felt a special feeling, a feeling of pride and prestige. Then Gabriel said to me, "I am the one who gives believers messages in dreams and visions. When they are in deep sleep I will reveal a lot of things to them." Actually, the Archangel Gabriel revealed to me 100 secrets contained in Jesus' parables. Then the Archangel Gabriel said, "We come to your churches and to your houses and we walk by your side yet you people are so busy with everyday preoccupation which has reduced your spiritual sensibility. Therefore you cannot sense our presence around you and you cannot see us although we are everyday around you. But the fact that many of the children of God are seeing us these days it is an indication that the event of the return of the Son of God is at hand. I will reveal to you secrets about life beyond the grave and the end of time." The third angel seems different from Michael and Gabriel. He introduced himself as Marvelous. He said, "I am the angel that appeared to the mother of Samson. The Bible says, "A man of Zorah named Manoah from the clan of the Danites had a wife who was childless unable to give birth. The angel of the Lord appeared to her and said, 'You are barren and childless but you are going to become pregnant and give birth to a son. Now see to it that you drink no wine or other fermented drink and that you do not eat anything unclean. You will become pregnant and have a son whose head is never to be touched by a razor because the boy is to be a Nazarite dedicated to God from the womb. He will take the lead in delivering Israel from the hands of the Philistines." (Judges 13:2-5) The angel Marvelous said, "I work in the field of salvation." And at the end times, this angel with the name of Marvelous was the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. After this first encounter, the next four days were days of angelic visitation as the whole church was able to hear the voice of the angels of the Lord. On the fifth day of angelic visitations, something happened. It was on the 10th of February 2007 at 5:00 p.m. The Archangel Michael who promised to reveal to me secrets about the devil and spiritual warfare came and he held my right hand. Immediately my spirit left my body. Michael held my right hand. We took a speedy flight. We began to ascend in the speed of light and we found ourselves in the atmosphere and over there in space the Archangel asked me, "Do you know where we are going?" I was about to respond when he said, "Lucifer has summoned a meeting in the 2nd heaven which will start in a few minutes. The kingdom of heaven has chosen you as their representative to take part in that meeting and reveal the contents of this gathering to the world." A few minutes later we arrived in the second heaven. Then we entered the auditorium which was a huge oval hall. This place was between heaven and the earth. The chief angel Michael said to me, "Fear not and don't panic. You just stand by my side. You must observe and listen to everything. You have been commissioned to tell the world everything you will see and hear." Actually, as I was attending this gathering in the 2nd heaven the Lord Jesus Christ had entered my body that was left on the earth and He took complete control of my senses. He was addressing the people of God in the church while my spirit was attending this summit in the atmosphere. Back in the auditorium in the second heaven, I noticed that the hall was full to capacity. Demons of all kinds and people from all nations were waiting for the prince of this world, the devil. Once we got in the meeting hall the chief angel Michael said to me, "Very soon you will see our enemy which is your enemy." We were hovering over this auditorium when suddenly I heard a thunderous explosion. This detonation was the arrival of Lucifer. The devil did not arrive like everybody else but in a thunderous explosion. SATAN WITH DOG HEAD I saw Satan for the first time on the 10 of February 2007. Immediately after landing in the oval auditorium the devil transformed himself. I mean his head turned to that of a dog. Then he said to the participants, "Do not be surprised by my emblem of a dog head. I took the appearance of the dog because I want to demonstrate to you that I am God. The reason that I summoned you today is that I heard the other One claiming that He is God and that He wants to save humanity." The devil and demons of Hell don't quote the name of Jesus Christ for fear of adverse effects. The devil refers to Jesus Christ as "The Other One." Then with a hand sign, the devil removed the sealing of the oval Hall and he caused the assistants to rise beyond the ceiling of the auditorium. I saw the assistants suspended in space and observing planet Earth. I have to admit that I managed to recognize some faces of the assistants. Then I saw the devil pointing a particular section of the earth. He actually zoomed to a section of the earth. As a result, we saw people getting on with their lives in that section of the earth but strangely all the people on that section of the earth had dog heads just like Lucifer himself. Afterward, the devil zoomed to another geographic section of the earth and we saw the human population of that part of the earth with dog heads. Then the devil zoomed to still another section of planet Earth and we saw people in different churches. We saw pastors, we saw evangelists, church singers, deacons in the church with dog heads. Churches were full of believers, preachers, and singers with dog heads. Afterward, the devil got the assistants back in the auditorium. Then he said to the participants, "You saw with your own eyes 80% of the world population with dog heads which is my emblem. You saw with your own eyes many believers preachers singers with my emblem of a dog head. They have my image and my likeness. They look like me yet the other One who claimed to be God the savior of humanity has only 20% of the world population. The question every one of you is to ask and to answer is this, 'Who is God - Him or me?' He has only 20% of the world population. Who is powerful - Him or me? It is written in their law that the dog has returned to what he has vomited. When the devil said this I remember the passage in 2 Peter 2:21-22, For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog has turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire. Then I saw the devil still with his dog head. He vomited on his pulpit and then he consumed his vomit. Then he said to the assistants, "It is thanks to my power that 80% of the world population are sinners and the majority of the believers have backslidden. Any Christian that has backslidden has adopted my emblem of the dog head. He has my image." At that moment I saw the assistants that were made up of demons and humans falling down on their knees worshipping the devil and declaring him God. The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 4:4, 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. The assistants were worshipping the devil and saying, "You are God because 80 percent of the world population resembled you. They have your image and your emblem. You are more powerful than the other One who has only twenty percent of the world population." Dear believers every time we are living in sin we are adopting the emblem of the devil which is a dog head. The Bible says whosoever practices sin is of the devil. He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose, the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. (1 Jn 3:8) I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. Blessed are they that do His commandments (“Blessed are they that wash their robes.” - other translations), that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. (Rev 22:13-15) As the worship of Lucifer was going on, the Archangel Michael and I stood in a diagonal position to the pulpit of the devil and then the devil started the meeting which was to last four months. In the firmament, he began to unveil his 80 strategies against humanity in the church. His words were automatically printed on a book called "Techniques and Tactics." That book is also called a "Traps Trigger" which means how to set a trap for the foolish man and the imprudent. The gathering in the firmament lasted four months. Basically every time the devil was unveiling a strategy he was adjourning the meeting in order to deploy demons to execute the new strategy in various regions of the earth and sometimes demons were traveling in a dimension beyond our physical world. In the meantime, the meeting would be suspended and the participants would be waiting for their return and their report. These demons were traveling to many parts of the earth that were in night or day times. They were traveling long distances in a split second or very few minutes and they were traveling to several countries, continents, and cities. They were also traveling to the marine kingdom, the subterranean kingdom and even to the firmament. And every time these demons were traveling to the cosmos I had to follow them in order to see what is happening and how they were executing their missions. I was ordered continuously by the Archangel Michael to follow them. As a result, I have been to many invisible kingdoms of Lucifer and I have accumulated knowledge of the tactics and strategies of the enemy. In this message, I will bring you words of Lucifer exactly as he said them so that everybody would understand the kingdom of darkness. As it is written, "You will know the truth and the truth will set you free." (John 8:32) Then the devil started to address the assistants with arrogance. He said to the participants, "I have gathered you today because we have an opponent. I heard Him saying that He wants to save humanity. That is why I have gathered you today so that we can prevent that from happening. Today I will deliver a few strategies in order to cause His followers to become weak and vulnerable so that our kingdom will grow on the earth." THE LAW OF REPETITION AND RESISTANCE Then Lucifer started to enumerate and elaborate on his strategies which were a total of 80 points. The devil disclosed the first strategy that he called vaccine or the law of repetition and resistance. He said, "Through this strategy, we will impose law in the lives of born-again Christians. Basically, the followers of Jesus Christ have a luminous ring of fire above their head and this orbit of fire above their head is potentially destructive. It can neutralize us, therefore, I want to underline that you should not come close to Christians as long as their ring of fire is shining and burning. We must initially put out the fire of that ring of light before engaging them for fear of defeat." "Let it be clear if you come to report to me after being wrecked because of the ring of fire I will be left with no choice but to destroy you. Do not come close to Christians as long as their fire is burning and glowing. You must observe and monitor them before taking any action against them. On the other hand, it will be apparent that when these people commit sin, the fiery ring of light will go off. Their light would be put out as a result of sin. It is only that way that they will become vulnerable. In fact, your mission is to get born-again Christians to commit sin in order to turn off the ring of fire and light above their heads." Dear believers, there is a ring of fire above the head of each born-again Christian which is self generating electric energy of God. The Bible says you are the light of the world (Matt 5:14). A Christian is full of divine and electric energy and the electricity charges from God are running all over his system. That is why a demon would not come close to a Christian. Then the devil said to the assistants, "You must use the method of surveillance and monitoring. I order you to watch them and their families in order to mount a surveillance system around born again Christians. Do not do anything against them before mounting a system of surveillance and monitoring and when they sin you will notice that their light and fire emanating from the luminous ring and orbit of fire will go off. The moment a born-again Christian commits sin, you will report to me because this is the best time to attack them. On this basis, you have to understand that sin is our gospel and sin will be our gospel. Sin is the mechanism by which the luminous flame of the believer goes off." And I saw the devil instructed his demon to report to him every time a Christian sinned because that is of a critical moment to strike him. I come today to beseech you Christians to keep your flame luminous. Every born-again Christian has the responsibility of keeping his luminous ring of fire turned on. The Bible says that John was a burning and shining lamp and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light (John 5:35). The Satanic world is desperate to get Christian fire and light to go off. They can do nothing against believers as long as the ring of fire is burning and shining. It is sin that turns off the light of the believer inducing in him a time of vulnerability and fragility. After explaining this strategy, I saw the devil summoning eight demons to step forward and he gave them syringes. The devil said to them, "Every time a born-again Christian is caught in the act of sinning you will inject this vaccine called the law of resistance and repetition in him. When a Christian is caught in sin, you will surround him and you will pray. You will summon me in the following prayer, "O supreme master Lucifer this is your victim who has listened to your voice and he has obeyed your order and instruction. Come and enter his body which is your temple." When you say this prayer I will come in a speed of lightning and I will enter the body of this believer and I will vaccinate him with the law of resistance and repetition. As a consequence, he will fall repeatedly in that sin despite his fasting despite his decision to abandon his sin. The victim will always fall in that sin because he is vaccinated with the law of repetition. Even if the believer confessed his sin but as he is injected with the law of repetition he will become a slave of that sin. He will repeat that sin again and again despite his remorse despite his will his fasting and his determination. Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. (John 8:34) Then the devil said to eight demons standing before him, "After you vaccinated the victim seven of you will leave him but you will stay and be stationed around the victim. You will monitor and surveil this Christian in case this believer feel the guilt and he is manifesting the will to repent and abandon his repetitive sin. I order the demon stationed around him for monitoring him to call the other seven demons. Once they joined you the head, you will call me again in this following prayer, "O supreme master, this is your victim who wants to rebel from you and escape your bondage." At that moment I will come down at the speed of lightning. I will enter his body in order to shake the vaccine in him. As a result, the victim will weaken and will have the tendency to return to that sin despite his will to escape." Then I saw on a pulpit of the devil a mirror. The devil did an incantation prayer. As a result, this mirror was multiplied. It was distributed to the assistants. The devil said, "Before attacking a Christian you must make sure that he is visible in the mirror." Beloved when a demon is coming to fight you, he is coming with information and precision. He is well informed about your condition. The devil said to the assistants, "That Fellow (Jesus) has branded me the prince of this world. If only one of them affectionate himself with the things of this world his profile will be visible in the mirror. Some of their attitudes are my nature like anger, animosity, envy, and hate. Those who are in these things belong to our kingdom automatically. But remember to check in the mirror before doing anything against them. If they appear in the mirror it means that they are in a state of weakness and their weakness and sin are my nature." ATTACK THE AREAS OF THEIR NEEDS The next strategy is called: NEED. Lucifer said, "We must watch and analyse the emotions and the feelings of Christians by observing their 3 needs: Marriage, Finance, and Ambition." He continued, "If you have been fighting one of them, and failing because of their holiness, and righteousness, just give up but focus on their marriage. Wait until when they will think about getting married. You will work to inject suggestion in their head to get them to make a false choice. It is from here that upright people will fall when they make a wrong choice, and we get them to marry our representative, by investigating their criteria, and preference." Lucifer said, "As we have many enterprises and corporations on earth, you will be arranged so that they end up working in our companies and businesses, and they will be surrounded by our agents. They will be paid salary with our bewitched money and they will sign contract with us without knowing. I asked my demons to give them initiative so that they can expand their business, as a result, they will always be focused on the material world." The devil always fights the marriage because this is a covenant that makes people one in marriage. There is a law called the law of fusion which make 2 people 1. And the devil likes it so that he can unite wheat and tares together to create fusion and confusion. CONDEMNATION DUE TO WORDS COMING OUT OF OUR MOUTHS My dear believers, I am here to bring words from the enemy exactly as I heard it in his meeting in the firmament. I heard the devil unveiling one strategy after another. Then he unveiled a strategy against the church called condemnation. He said, "My agent demons followers and demons observers, you have a very important role to play. Your purpose is to observe and listen to what comes out of the mouths of believers. You're gonna have to be patient. You must follow them and listen carefully to words coming out of their mouths. Actually, these humans claimed to have been created in the image and the likeness of God but this is what we will do to them. We have five strategies in order to condemn them on the basis of what comes from their mouth." The first strategy is during the TIME OF ANGER. The devil said to demons observers and followers, "In the time of anger humans don't control their words and they don't control their decisions nor their actions. Therefore, this is a critical time in order to capture their words and condemn them." Beloved, you must understand that when you are angry there are demons assigned by the devil to observe you and to capture words from your mouth and decision you make. Therefore when you are angry you must learn to hold your tongue. You must not sleep with anger and you must forgive. The Bible says death and life are in the power of the tongue and those who love it will eat its fruit. (Proverbs 18:21) The devil will use your words to condemn you. The second critical moment is the TIME OF CHOICE as the devil said to his demons, "Condemn people pronouncing a word of love. When you hear a human saying to his partner, "You are my angel," his guardian angel must leave on the basis of his own word. As a result, his partner will take the angel place. He is condemned by his own word. When someone says I will only marry this or that type of man this is verbal government binding him. He is inviting the spirit of singleness." Beloved, people are binding themselves in covenants through words spoken from their mouth. It is necessary to cancel negative words. There are words you say that will destroy your life as they are captured and brought to pass by demons. The third tactic is in TIMES OF HUMAN SUFFERING. The devil said to his demons observers and followers, "In a time of suffering and hardship I always hear humans saying, 'Oh I am miserable. I am unlucky in my life. Everything I do is not working.'" The devil orders these demons to bring to pass those words and sentences spoken by humans during their hard times as many cursed and condemned themselves through their own mouths. CAUSING BELIEVERS TO BE LAZY AND HEAVY Then the devil unveiled an additional strategy that will cause believers to be heavy so that they won't be able to pray or read the Bible or attend the church. As a result, they will become an ordinary human being. The devil insisted to the participants by saying, "Do not let them pray. Do not let them read the scripture. Do not let them go to church. Do not let them tithe." Then I saw the devil summoning a demon that looked like Superman. This demon was dressed in red and blue just like Superman but the devil called him superhuman. He said to him, "I have chosen you to visit Christians at home in the days of their church service. You must be informed about their church program five hours before it starts. You're gonna blow on them the bluish smoke. As a result, they will become heavy and they will feel like not going to church. They will feel uncomfortable." The devil said to him, "Blow your bluish smoke even on their cars. As a result, the unexplained breakdown will happen. They will seek justification not to attend church and they will have them." Lucifer said to the superhuman, "You shall move from one Christian house to another and you shall blow your bluish smoke. As a result, there shall be procrastination. As a consequence, they shall be incapable of praying even if they set the clock. The same thing with Bible reading. They will have the feeling of doing something relaxing instead of going to church." PERSON NAMES AS A TOOL TO DESTROY THEM Then the devil unveiled another strategy called name. The devil said, "We will use people's names as a tool of manipulation in order to destroy them." It is clear that the devil is always seeking ways to destroy humanity and he said to the demons, "You will make sure that their lives have become their names." Beloved, in the Bible, when God called people He changed their names. If you do not have a positive name you better change it now. The Bible says in Gen 32:28, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed. I heard the devil saying the spirit of homonym (words with the same sound but have different meanings) will follow the hominin (all humankind). Examples of homonym are Bat - an implement used to hit a ball / a nocturnal flying mammal Bright - very smart or intelligent / filled with light Circular - taking the form of a circle / a store advertisement The second issue about a name is that when you name yourself or your child after a family member or a friend the nature of that person can be transferred to you or your child through the channel of the name and there are these demons, followers, and observers. Their job is that every time your name is called they have to transform you into your name. Every time your name is called they will get meaning of that name to come to pass and fulfill in your life so that you become your name. BEWITCHMENT THRU BEAUTY AND HYGIENE PRODUCTS The devil announced another strategy called beauty and hygiene products. I saw the devil order 30 demons to travel back under the ocean and while these 30 demons were leaving the oval auditorium heading underwater, the Archangel Michael order me to follow them. This was our secondary journey beneath the ocean and this time around the devil sent these demons to meet underwater sirens so that they can design beauty and makeup products. When we were leaving the oval hall the devil interrupted the meeting in order to wait for the contingent of 30 demons to bring back beauty products. When we arrived underwater it's like the water siren and goddess Lamaze who knew already what Lucifer wanted. She could also read the mind of these demons. In fact, every time the devil think about something he can transfer his thought quickly to his collaborators. The devil possesses a network that allows him to inject thought to his followers. When Jesus said to Peter, "Get thee behind me, Satan," He was dealing with a thought from the devil that he transferred to Peter's mind. That's how the devil work. I saw demons of all kinds under the ocean. I saw sirens under the ocean who were very beautiful women. They were extremely beautiful as though they were changing faces. I remember their names such as Alice and Jacqueline Sol Ange Lily Liliane Juliet. Then I saw their great lady, the Queen of the Coast manipulating the sand beneath the water and turning them to beauty products. I saw powder, lipstick, lotions, soap and many more. There were tons of these beauty products. I saw a siren in the name of Juliet printing her face and her name on the wrapping and embossed on the soap. This soap called Juliet is still used in our region and our country. When you use that soap the power of seduction of Juliet will be at work on your appearance which is artificial beauty. Therefore you must pray for these beauty products as the Bible says to pray ceaselessly even in little things. And then the devil said, "We will dressed women with a mask of ugliness and old age in order to undermine their marriage and cause their husbands to be tired of them." The 30 demons transported these beauty products from the underwater to the oval meeting hall in the second heaven. As the hall was oval they placed them in the middle of the hall. There were lipsticks, soaps, lotions, deodorants, fragrance, and others. Then the devil resumed the meeting and I watched as the devil began to curse these beauty products. The devil said, "We will spread demonic smells on women or men that are using our deodorants and fragrances. The moment their sweat mixed with our deodorants they will smell like some of our demons." Actually, demons have their smells and I know these smells. Some demons smell a mixture of deodorants and sweat. Other smells like acid. Then Lucifer said, "Women using our products will have artificial beauty. They will have the beauty of my servants the sirens and mermaid printed on their face. It is this way that we will spread fornication on the earth. When women use these beauty products they will become irresistible." The devil said, "Every time a human will envy these women because of the beauty of my servants the sirens and mermaids they will be admiring and worshipping images of the things under the sea which are sirens and mermaids." As far as the devil is concerned, the pictures of sirens and mermaids on makeup products are equal to building an image of things from under the sea. These beautiful faces of sirens and mermaids that are printed on the makeup and beauty products are a representation of sirens and mermaids as it is written you shall not make for yourself an idol or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth. (Ex 20:4) Now the question is, "Should women use beauty products?" Yes, women can but they should also have discernment and pray. We should learn to pray for everything. I mean everything we buy in the market we need a life of ceaseless prayer (1 Thess 5:17). When I was in the marine Kingdom I saw sirens designing beauty products and they were printing their faces on these different lotions and beauty products. I heard Lucifer saying repeatedly, "Let fight. Let not slow down. Let continue to work in order to separate believers from their Master." FORGETFULNESS TO DAILY SACRED DUTIES Then the devil unveiled a new strategy called forgetfulness. He said to the participants, "We must work to get believers to forget their daily sacred duty and obligation. As a result, they will be in discord with their Master. Their Master is supposed to be the central and a cornerstone of their lives but we must work so that their Lord will no longer be the central focus of their existence. Firstly let get them to forget praying, as a result, they will lack spiritual strength." Beloved when I heard this from the mouth of Lucifer, I understood that prayer gives believers spiritual strength and even the Bible says to pray ceaselessly (1 Thess 5:17). Then Lucifer said, "We must give them to forget about going to church by confusing church schedules. As a result, they will be without anointing." By these words, I understood that attending the church gives believers more anointing as it is written in the psalm of David, "Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments. As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life for evermore." (Psalms 133:1-3) The devil continued and he said, "Let them forget reading the Bible." Then the devil drew the attention of the participants by saying, "Be careful of that book. It is magical and powerful. They must not read it otherwise they will have the knowledge and they will uncover our actions." The devil continued and said, "Let them forget paying tithes so that we can ransack and plunder their houses and finances. We will send them hardships and sicknesses and cause them to spend beyond their means." These words made me understand the importance of tithing. Tithe protects our business and our finances and the scriptures says in Malachi 3:10-11, Bring you all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in my house, and prove me now herewith, said the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, said the LORD of hosts. Then the devil said again, "Let them forget their law so that they can sin. It is only after they sin that we can remind them of their law so that they can be in guilt." He continued to let them forget to take care of the leaders financially. HEREDITARY Then the devil announced another strategy that he called hereditary. Then Lucifer said, "For God loved the world so much that He gave His one and only Son so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life (John 3:16). This is humanity's favorite passage that I am reversing. For Satan so hate the world that he gave his own son Beelzebub so that whoever fell in his trap shall not be saved but perish forever." Then the devil exclaims and said, "I love Beelzebub because of his mission. He is gonna assist me to bring forth a great posterity. My great family is in the making. Behold I have so many people resembling me." Beloved, the Bible said that Jesus branded the high priests as the children of the devil because of their behavior. Jesus said, "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar and the father of it." (John 8:44) The devil said, "I am branded as the father of lies, therefore, I need more children who are liars and who resemble me. That is why I order you Beelzebub to trap anybody practicing lies and incorporate them into my family. When any man would be deliberately lying in that very moment you get a hold of him to bring him inside my family. Indeed I am called the father of lies and liars are my children. Whatever their confession and profession whether they are pastors evangelists priests deacons, bring them to me for they are my children." Then the devil said to Beelzebub, "Incite people to pride because I am the father of pride. As a result, I will have many children. You're going to incite men to sin because it is written that I sinned right from the beginning and the more they are sinning the more children I have." "Beelzebub, I have always been treated as the opponent and the adversary so you gonna make sure that the whole world is in sin so that they would be opponents and adversaries of God and the more they are sinning the more children I have." "Beelzebub, they must despise the church and prayer. They must despise men of God. They must despise the holy things. They must oppose Bible traditions and values. They must denigrate Christianity." The devil said, "You Beelzebub my prime minister I charged you to combat the Word preached in churches all over the world." Actually, Lucifer has a global government and Beelzebub is the prime minister of his global government. The devil said to Beelzebub, "Let the Word preached in churches all over the world be without Revelation. Let their preaching be without edification. Let these preachers lose their fire and anointing. Let them be limited. Let them be focused on miracles. Let them be focused on prosperity. Let them be focused on the spectacular things." Beloved the devil wants the church to focus on earthly things and temporary things. Then Lucifer said, "It is written in their Scripture and their law that your Word is lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path and the moment the revelational Word which is the light is replaced by accessories and the materials items then there will be no more be light left in these churches but there will be darkness and as consequence the church will be my synagogue. If they continued and said the word of their Master and Lord has branded me as the Prince of Darkness it will be like a curse in these churches as I will be the Prince of these churches that are in darkness as a result of the corrupt word preached there." The devil said to Beelzebub, "You must stifle their leaders and preachers financially so that they lack the basic necessities. As a consequence, they will be overloaded with problems and setbacks. They will focus their attention on how to get by instead of spending their time on the Word and prayer. Beloved churches must organize in order to support the ministry so that the pastor can deal with the Word in order to spare him from working and taking care of himself. Then the devil said, "Let's target the pastors' wives so that there will not be harmony in their homes. As a result, the pastor will be demoralized with stress and sickness." The devil said. "Let's work so that we will send women to these pastors to get them to fornicate. As a result, they will become ordinary humans and carnal and it will be a defeat for the church." Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body, but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. (1 Cor 6:18) OCCULTISM The devil unveiled a strategy called occultism. He said, "The purpose of this strategy is information gathering about believers. We will operate through two sectors. Firstly we will use animals as an instrument then we will use art objects. Concerning animals we are gonna use domestic animals closer to humans like dogs and cats. We will use dogs and cats as a camera in order to get information about these believers. These animals will be initiated into spiritism and they will be our instruments." We must underline that animals do not have a spirit but their bodies can be used as instruments or vehicles by the human spirits and demonic spirits. Lucifer said, "We are going to use sculpture and statues as instruments." Actually many statues and sculptural representation of occultic masters and the spirits of these masters dwell inside these statues and people who buy these objects and take them home will be under the influence of spirits dwelling in these art objects. Occultists want to enter your house through the object of art, a statue or sculpture. These spiritual masters double themselves and send a part of their spirit into the statues and when people buy these statues they are bringing a foreign presence in their homes. These strangers are represented through statues and they are observing and gathering information about you. PUTTING OUT THE CHURCH Then Lucifer announced a strategy called putting out the church. Lucifer then addressed the auditorium and he said, "This is the commission I am giving you witches and wizards. You must join churches and be stationed there permanently and you must combat the spiritual growth of local churches at all cost. But in case these churches are still growing then forget about spiritual methods. Resort to physical methods and subject these churches to criticism and foster divisions among them." Beloved, every time a local church is characterized by division, slandering, backstabbing, these are symptoms of witchcraft activities. I just want to underline that the church will grow only when a vision given to the man of God is fulfilled. The church will grow through the support of the members who must adapt and align to the vision of the man of God and they must bring their assistance and financial contribution. Then Lucifer said, "Let's make sure that in every single Church on earth there is at least one witch so that he can gather information and report to us." Then the devil said, "Let my servant witches and wizards that I assigned to churches be of good standard. You must have a good attitude and be closer to pastors in these churches. You must gather information about every local church on the surface of the earth and every Saturday at midnight I want you to report containing information about what is happening in these local churches." Then the devil says to them, "If you fail in your assignment then I will have to send female spirits of the sea. They will migrate to the surface of the earth and they will take human shape and they will join these churches. They will do your job." The devil insisted, "You must be permanent in these churches facilities. Your mission is to bring distraction through dialogue laughs and jokes socializing and fornication. You must wake up early before their prayer and bewitch the place of prayer so that intercessors will be heavy and will fail to pray effectively. The devil said, "For witches, it is enough to bewitch the church facilities. You just need to metamorphose to insects and blow the bluish smoke in order to change the atmosphere in the church facilities and prayer room. As a consequence, everybody will be heavy during the prayer." And then the devil said to the participants, "You must oppose revelational preaching and teaching." The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you! Amen.

  • This on facebook from a much later 'Charles Parham'
    " I know I have written so many posts about healing, God's will about sickness and disease, and faith for healing. But I still see families with cancer patients, children with cancer, parents with cancer, and most are steadily losing the battle with their cancer and some even believe that it could be God's will that they die early and not stay and reap the harvest of the timespan they were born into. When death comes upon a young person it is because of the curse of the law overcoming that person due to some form of disobedience. It could be as simple as doubt that they ARE ALREADY HEALED or something hidden or even worse. But understand what the Bible says that Jesus did during His earthly ministry because that was God in the flesh. It says that He went about DOING GOOD AND HEALING ALL THAT WAS OPPRESSED OF THE DEVIL. Who did the healing? Jesus through the Holy Spirit. Who was causing the oppressive sickness and diseases? THE DEVIL. It can't be explained any simpler than this. There should never be any questions about whether healing was God's will or whether the devil's diseases are God's will. But if there is... Peter answered it in 2 Peter 2:24 where it says that by His stripes we WERE (past tense) HEALED. This means that we become healthy and healed the very second that the Holy Spirit enters into His Temple which is our body at salvation or Spiritual rebirth.
    It hurts me deeply for people especially children to have faith in who God is, what God can do, Who Jesus is, and the salvation He provided, and yet die looking at test results and feeling painful symptoms for months without ever having any faith that Jesus has already done His part and believe and start to act like they believe that they ARE HEALED ALREADY. We cannot believe what our flesh tells us. We cannot believe what someone else's flesh tells us, even if it is supported by medical science, if it is in direct opposition to what GOD'S HOLY WORDS SAY! FAITH IN GOD IS BELIEVING WHAT GOD SAYS OVER EVERYTHING ELSE THAT CONTRADICTS IT. IT IS BELIEVING WHAT GOD'S WORDS SAY OVER WHAT OUT BODILY SYMPTOMS ARE TELLING US. Faith is the substance of things hoped for.. which means in the greek "expected" the evidence of things unseen or unfelt. We simply know that Jesus has already healed us even though we may not see it or feel it, and we stop acting like or doing the things that a sickly person would be doing. Faith without works is dead!!! We have to start acting healed and stop asking God to heal us and start praising God for healing us. We have to make uncomfortable choices. We have to choose to be healed and believe it and act like we believe it. THAT IS FAITH IN HEALING. The best time to receive our healing is at a point of laying on of hands by someone anointed with the gift of healing which is one of the nine spiritual ministry gifts. If no one is around that currently has that anointing then any child of God with faith in it can anoint them with oil in the name of Jesus and pray a prayer of faith or agreement with them. But the one with the symptoms must believe that it is done! Completed, and they are healed from that moment and start praising God for the healing and stop begging God to do it over and over and over, like He missed something the first time. God has done His part... He sent Jesus! Jesus has done His part... He bled for us as the supreme sacrifice for All of our redemption. Faith that it was enough to do the job is OUR PART. BY HIS STRIPES YE WERE HEALED.
    As I was about to pray for someone with cancer I felt a need to ask God concerning that particular young man and the Holy Spirit told me that He was going to bring him on home to be with Him. I felt sad because I know that God is doing it because of a lack of faith. They have trusted in everything except what Jesus has already done. They trusted in millions praying for months, they trusted in medical science, new drugs, chemotherapy, and now they are nearing the end of his life and are just documenting everything. God would much rather use that young man as a testament to His healing and willingness to heal for all who would listen for years to come instead of him not being used as a testimony and him dying young. But Satan was given the ability to cause the problem due to some unknown reason and we don't need to speculate about that because that gets us nowhere. Putting blame doesn't help anyone. The solution is faith in God's healing according to His Word... Period. It's actually simple, free, and freely given by God's grace but just as it is a part of our plan of salvation that is often not explained nor received, it must be received by REAL TRUE FAITH... not some wavering religious beliefs that require God to do something else in OUR special case... because who are we to ask God to have Jesus suffer a little bit more to provide a healing that we can feel and see before we believe that we have it. That isn't faith and without faith it is IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE GOD. WHATSOEVER IS NOT OF FAITH IS SIN(disobedience)... Which is why the young man is going to be with the Lord rather than be healed unless he gets eyes to see and ears to hear the truth. I prayed for his peace, his strength, his faith for salvation, and for God to open his young spiritual eyes to see. To open the ears of his understanding. For strength and comfort for his family but not for God to heal him because He already did and it hasn't been received by real faith. Maybe someone who knows him will share the truth with him or his family. It's really hard to feel severe pain and have everyone around you talking about the disease YOU HAVE and to have real faith that you're healed of it at the same time enough to try to sit up in bed today, sit on the edge of the bed tomorrow, put one foot on the floor or even both feet the next day, and sitting in a chair the next, believing every day that the more you trust God to help you that the stronger you will become and the less symptoms you will have... until the devil has to flee because you are resisting him while submitting to God through faith in the finished work of Jesus.
    I wish I could explain it better... In a different way that people like that young man would understand so he would HAVE FAITH IN GOD AND TRUST IN HIM AND NOT LEAN UNTO HIS OWN UNDERSTANDING. I lost a daughter because she never saw where she wasn't in faith until it was too late. Believing that God can or will heal us doesn't get it done. We have to receive the anointing, believe that we are healed, and put some works into it. We have to act on our faith. I hate to see a young person die of something that his savior has already fixed so he doesn't have to die young... Letting the devil win just irritates me bad. Submit to God, do it His way, resist the devil and all his junk including disease, and he will flee from you or run in terror from the anointed power of the Holy Spirit. Saying you have something and acting like you have it is submission to it. Submit to God's Healing... Not the devil's diseases, temptations, and curse.
