Yesterday I talked about spiritual warfare, I want to go a little further today. Rev. David Wilkerson made this powerful statement that we all need to remember:
"Here is the principle God wants us to lay hold of: Our Lord is interested in much more than simply making us victors. We’re to emerge from battle with wagonloads of resources. This is what Paul refers to when he says, “Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us” {Romans 8:37}.

We need to come out of the battle not only victors, but we can be rich in spiritual resources. For me, I can tell you that every time I go into a spiritual battle, I have learnt something so special from the Lord. My desire to serve Him is greater than it was before I went into the battle. As we grow in the Lord, He draws us to Him.

Some refuse to accept the trials that God puts us through, but others learn that if Jesus suffered for us, we will suffer for Him and what His Word stands for. Just because we are saved does not mean that we will not have struggles, but we emerge even stronger than when we went in. I am a conqueror for the Lord, I will tear down the walls that Satan tries to build and the destruction he tries to cause for in 1 John 4:4, His Word tells me: "..."because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world."

Recently I talked about "spiritual warfare", but many do not understand what that truly means.

The late Kenneth Hagin shared a story many years ago. In a dream he was walking with the Lord, they were talking and all of a sudden, Satan showed up and made all kinds of noise so that Kenneth could not hear what the Lord was saying. Kenneth turned to the Lord and said, "Lord make Satan stop so I can hear you", the Lord made a powerful statement that he never forgot. The Lord said, "I have done all I am going to do, I have given you power and authority, if you want to stop Satan, do so." {Luke 10:19, “Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.”} Immediately Kenneth started doing warfare against Satan immediately Satan left.

God wants us to know how to fight the Devil, go on the offense, don't allow the Enemy take our family or "territory" that God has given us. N\He has given us that power to stop Satan and we need to learn how to use it to squelch the Enemy and his kingdom. When I have a need for someone or our family I get angry and I stand against Satan, commanding him in Jesus Name to remove himself from the situation.

Remember: "Satan knows if we know who we are in Christ and if we know how to use the authority God has given us." We can tear down the "walls" that Satan tries to build against God's people.

I had posted this many years ago, but since so many are fighting spiritual battles, I felt the timing was right to share it again...

Satan’s Garage Sale
Once upon a time, Satan was having a garage sale. There, standing in little groups were all of his bright, shiny trinkets. Here were tools that make it easy to tear others down for use as stepping-stones. And over there were some lenses for magnifying ones own importance, which, if you looked through them the other way, you could also use to belittle others, or even one’s self. Against the wall was the usual assortment of gardening implements guaranteed to help your pride grow by leaps and bounds: the rake of scorn, the shovel of jealousy for digging a pit for your neighbor, the tools of gossip and backbiting, of selfishness and apathy. All of these were pleasing to the eye and came complete with fabulous promises and guarantees of prosperity. Prices, of course, were steep; but not to worry! Free credit was extended to one and all. “Take it home, use it, and you won’t have to pay until later!” old Satan cried, as he hawked his wares.

The visitor, as he browsed, noticed two well-worn, non-descript tools standing in one corner. Not being nearly as tempting as the other items, he found it curious that these two tools had price tags higher than any other. When he asked why, Satan just laughed and said, “Well, that’s because I use them so much. If they weren’t so plain looking, people might see them for what they were.” Satan pointed to the two tools, saying, “You see, that one’s Doubt and that one’s Discouragement — and those will work when nothing else will.”

John 10:10
"The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly."

The signs all around us show us we are in the End Times. Satan is having a hay~day, but God is still on the Throne and as we stand against the Powers of Darkness, we will see the Enemy defeated.

We must fight Satan with every breath we have, give him no territory and go on the offensive. I do not give the Evil One, one inch. My husband tells a powerful story of how we let Satan in. It is like a little puppy trying to get into a home, if he gets his nose even a little in the door, he is coming in. We give Satan any place in our life, he will come in with all his evil co~horts.

Over the years, I have learnt we must fight Ole Slue Foot with every weapon that God has given us. We can not back down, we can not close our eyes, nor can we ignore the Devil's evil ploys. It is time we fight the Enemy with the weapons that God has given us and we will see the Devil defeated. In 2 Corinthians 10:4, God's Holy Word tells us:
“For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds.”

Through Christ, I will pull down all the strongholds Satan puts up, in Jesus Mighty and Precious Name.

Today is my husband's birthday, I want to honor the Lord today because we almost lost Joe, but God stepped in and removed the hand of Satan. I feel very humbled and honored that my sweetheart is still here.

My husband wanted to pass a message onto you:
"I thank God for your prayers, love, and blessings. There is nothing God cannot do when we stand together in love and prayer. I pray with all my heart that God will bless you and your family. Thank you so very much for your kindness. I felt your prayers and your love as I walked through this trial.
I am having to learn to walk since my muscles and legs suffered through this virus. Daily I am getting stronger and my mobility is becoming greater. Thanks again for all you love and prayers. I love you with all my heart!"

God Bless each and every one of you...our love...The Spivey's!

The message of the Church today is that God loves everyone, but what does the Word of God say. In Ecclesiasticus 12:6, the Word of God states:
“For the most High hateth sinners, and will repay vengeance unto the ungodly, and keepeth them against the mighty day of their punishment.” God will never turn His back on a repentant sinner, but those that blantantly sin against God, He hates. We tell people they can live anyway they choose to live and God will accept it. Sin has been made comfortable, do whatever you want and you will still go to Heaven. WHAT A LIE FROM THE PIT OF HELL!!!

When God says "Thou shalt not", He meant it. When He tells us what He wants us to do, He wasn't offering a heavenly suggestion, He meant for us to go and do. If you think God is going to accept the sinful ways of a so~called believer and that they are going to Heaven, you have surely misinterpreted the Bible. You can celebrate all the right things, but if your heart is not right with God, you have made a mockery of His Holy Word.

Is this the Truth? Is this a hard Word from the Lord? You bet it is, God's Word is to bring you to the truth and knowledge of His Word, living a life that is pleasing to the Master, not a life that will send you to Hell for eternity..wake up, quit playing games, for surely judgment is coming and then it will be too late...What excuses are you making to define and twist His Word to justify your sin?...

PSALMS 23:6
"Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever." What a wonderful story that will bless your heart

A mother was concerned about her kindergarten son walking to school. He didn't want his mother to walk with him. She wanted to give him the feeling that he had some independence but yet know that he was safe.
So she had an idea of how to handle it. She asked a neighbor if she would please follow him to school in the mornings, staying at a distance, so he probably wouldn't notice her. She said that since she was up early with her toddler anyway, it would be a good way for them to get some exercise as well, so she agreed.
The next school day, the neighbor and her little girl set out following behind Timmy as he walked to school with another neighbor girl he knew. She did this for the whole week.
As the two kids walked and chatted, kicking stones and twigs, Timmy's little friend noticed the same lady was following them as she seemed to do every day all week. Finally she said to Timmy, 'Have you noticed that lady following us to school all week? Do you know her?'
Timmy nonchalantly replied, 'Yeah, I know who she is.'
The little girl said, 'Well, who is she?'
'That's just Shirley Goodnest, 'Timmy replied, 'and her daughter Marcy.'
'Shirley Goodnest? Who is she and why is she following us?'
'Well,' Timmy explained, 'every night my Mum makes me say the 23rd Psalm with my prayers, 'cuz she worries about me so much. And in the Psalm, it says, ' Shirley Goodnest and Marcy shall follow me all the days of my life', so I guess I'll just have to get used to it.'
May Shirley Goodnest and Marcy be with you today and always.

The storms of life, come and go, but my eyes are fixed on the One that can bring me through.

We have all been through "storms" in our life and yet many of us have come through them with no problem, then there are times we have to fight for everything we do. I learnt something so powerful from the Book of Job, he was a man that followed God, a man that trusted God, and even in the midst of the storm, he continued to love God. Listen, this man lost everything, his children, his wealth, and even all his livestock. Yet, he still loved God even when his wife told him to "curse God and die". That is what I call great faith. I want to have that kind of faith that no matter what happens, I still Trust in God.

I want that peace that surpasses all understanding. These words in John 14:27, let's us know that God has the ability to give us His Peace: "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."

I want that peace and I want His Great Faith...

In the last few days, my faith has been tested to the max. I could not change what took place nor could I close my eyes to it, thinking that everything would just go away, because it did not. When I awoke from my sleep, nothing had changed. I can say with a true and solid heart, one thing had changed and that was me. What I thought I could not walk through, God has brought me through, "the valley of the shadow of death". I wanted God more than anything in my life. He lovingly and faithful stirred up in me something I did not know I had and that was the Faith to believe whatever happened God was there and He would bring me through.

I didn't ask God for anything specific, I asked that He would help me Trust Him even more without any expectations. In the end it would be His Call, His Way, and His Plan. I didn't know that God had placed such faith in me to completely lean on Him, but Praise God, He did. That "Great Faith" has changed the way I think, giving me peace. In Philippians 4:7, "And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." What an amazing, loving, caring, compassionate God I serve.

You will never know what kind of faith you have until your faith is tested to the max. I never want to be without Him....EVER!!! I know I am stronger spiritually today, than I was yesterday and yes, that is a good thing....

An act of kindness is always rewarded with the Love of God...1 John 4:7, "Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God."

"APPLES"
A few years ago, a group of salesmen went to a regional sales convention in Chicago. They had assured their wives that they would be home in plenty of time for Friday night's dinner.
In their rush, with tickets and briefcases in hand, moving quickly through the airport terminal, one of these salesmen inadvertently kicked over a table which held a display of apples. Apples flew everywhere. Without stopping or looking back, they all managed to reach the plane in time for their nearly missed boarding.

All but one! He paused, took a deep breath, quickly assessed the situation -- and experienced a twinge of compassion for the girl whose apple stand had been overturned. He told his buddies to go on without him, waved good-bye, told one of them to call his wife when they arrived at their home destination and explain his taking a later flight. Then, he returned to the terminal where the apples were still all over the terminal floor.

The man was glad he did. The 16-year-old girl running the stand, he discovered, was totally blind! She was softly crying, tears running down her cheeks in frustration, all the while helplessly groping for her spilled produce as the rushing crowd swirled about her, no one stopping and no one caring for her plight.

No one else, that is. The salesman knelt on the floor with her, gathered up the apples, put them back on the table and helped organize her display. As he did this, he noticed that many of them had become battered and bruised. These he set aside in another basket.

When he had finished, he pulled out his wallet and said to the girl, "Here, please take this $40 for the damage we did. Are you okay?" She nodded through her tears. "I hope we didn't spoil your day too badly," he said.

As the salesman started to walk away, the bewildered blind girl called out to him, "Mister..." He paused and turned to look back into those blind eyes. She continued, "Are you Jesus?"

He stopped in mid-stride, and he wondered, stunned by the words. Then slowly, he made his way to catch the later flight with that question burning in his soul: "Are you Jesus?"

The Word of God tells us in Proverbs 18:21, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue." What comes out of our mouth can either bring life or death.

I tell individuals to cautiously watch what they say against anyone, for our words are so very powerful. Mere words can bring death and destruction to people's lives or they can bring life everlasting. Don't let your anger overtake you. A good example was the other day I received a letter that I should not have received from an individual, there was no truth in it whatsoever, but I have learnt over the years, the hearts of many are evil and vile, but I still need to love the unloveable. Anyway, I responded to the letter, I called and tried to talk to the individual, that was a mistake, I should have just left it alone. I didn't say anything ugly, but I couldn't believe someone could be so cold, callous and heartless, but she was. I hung up and knew immediately I should have said nothing, but I allowed myself to be goaded by the Enemy and responded. I went to the Lord and asked Him to forgive me, I know He did, but I pray the next time Satan tries to set a trap for me, I don't walk right into it.

"LORD keep a watch over my tongue, and help me O LORD to listen to you and not allow my flesh to control me."

As believers, we cannot change God's Word, for His Word is settled in Heaven. In Psalm 119:89, "For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven."

Whatever we think or do, God's Word will never change, He will never compromise, nor will He accept sin as good. I know many want to believe that God will just close His eyes to the sin of the world or their evil in their own lives, but we must never forget what happened in Noah's time, when God destroyed the earth because of sin nor the time God turned Lot's wife into a pillar of salt for disobeying the Lord. His Word has been settled long ago and it will never change to satisfy the evil of the world.

His Word will never change!!!

God had anointed David to take over the Kingdom from King Saul, as Saul had sinned, because of his sin, God rejected him as King. As I read a passage of scripture I understood that King David was told, by God, that he would have to make restitution for King Saul and the innocent blood that had been shed during Saul's time as king. Listen to what the scripture states in 2 Samuel 21:1, "Then there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David enquired of the LORD. And the LORD answered, It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he slew the Gibeonites." David went to God and the Lord told him their was "blood on Saul's hands", yet Saul was already gone, but God wanted the wrong to be righted, by allowing a famine in the country for 3 years.

Everyone has had a "skeleton in their closet" at one time or another. Some people deal with them, others do not, later down the road after someone has passed away these "skeletons" raise their ugly head, thus the surviving family or those that take a leadership position after an individual has been replaced, must deal with them. Always remember, God is a just God. When a wrong has been done, He requires that it must be rectified.

I don't know about you, but if I had "skeletons" in my closet, I want to deal with them, bringing closure so that Satan cannot use my past against me, later down the road. If we deal with these "skeletons", God forgives and forgets. Sadly, there are always those that allow Satan to use them, trying to use these "skeletons" to malign or destroy God's Servants.

I love the passage of scripture in Hebrews 13:6, “So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.” So if God is the final say and the "skeletons in our closet" has been dealt with, what right does anyone have to condemn us?

I have had to face a lot of things lately and one of those things is that our life means nothing without the Lord. I already knew this, but it became even clearer as I watched my husband suffered with the Covid. In December, Joe and I will be sharing 43 years of marriage, I wasn't sure we were going to make this special day, but God had another plan. As we experienced this trial, that almost took his life, God put many things in our life to the test, we found that our faith in God has increased in all areas. What I thought was important, is no longer important, because Christ was not only the Center of my life, but He became the center of our marriage, in a new dimension. God has a way of getting your attention when things need to be balanced in your life.

I got to the place that I said, "Lord, it is not about me or Joe, but it is about you and your plan for our lives. No matter what takes place, I will put my Trust in You." God made a choice that Joe shall live and not die...I am so thankful that He did so, but whatever would have happened God would always be the Love of my Life and I will always serve Him with all my heart...

The Word of God covers many scripture that confronts filthy language and coarse pictures. Yet, many do not see the error of what they are doing, they have no guilt or shame in their actions. You can't say you Honor God and are a Christian, then let a stream of vulgarity out of your mouth. Either you serve God or the world. Very easy decision. God's Word is explicit concerning this subject"
1. Ephesians 5:4
"Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks."
2. Ephesians 4:29
"Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers."
3. Colossians 3:8
"But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth."
4. Exodus 20:7
"Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain."

If God dwells in us, how do we justify using filthy or coarse language? WE CANNOT! People tell me they are Christians, having posts on their Facebook page with filthy language or dirty pictures. Who do you think you are kidding?!?! You have not deceived God, for He knows the intent of the heart. LISTEN: YOU CANNOT SERVE GOD AND SATAN. It is like trying to mix oil and vinegar, it just doesn't happen. It is time we decide who we serve and start acting like it.

NO FILTHY OR VULGAR LANGUAGE SHOULD COME OUT OF ANYONE WHO CALLS THEMSELF A CHRISTIAN!!!
In Joshua 24:15
“And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve..." It is too late to play games and doing so is so dangerous for your Eternal Salvation...
