Have you ever been in a situation that you knew the hand of satan was behind it? I have and there was nothing I could do but pray and believe God would, in His time, intervene. In 1 Peter 5:8, God's Holy Word tells us: "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour."
I am sure we all have, but how do we handle those situations? Sadly, I have not always handled them well. I have become impatient, angry, yet I have never gotten mad at the Lord. I have to remember what Job went through, he suffered the loss of everything and everyone closest to him, except his wife who advised him "to curse God and die", but he did not do so. Yes, he asked questions, he even had friends say that he had to have done something wrong to be in the predictiment he was in. Yet, it had nothing to do with him sinning or wronging the Lord. Satan asked God to take His Hand of Protection off Job, so that God would see that Job was not the man He thought he was, but it did not happen. Job came through it all, a greater and stronger man spiritually and financially.
When we are put in the fires of affliction, we make a decision to follow Christ or collapse, blaming God for everything bad in our lives. We all know that Satan wants us to give up and walk away from our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Praise God many do not, they go through the "fire" and they come out unscorched, but wiser and more mature in Christ. Is Satan seeking you out? Is Satan causing you to doubt God and His Word? If he is, remember, God allowed him to come after you to show you how strong in Him you really are. Don't give up, God is there and He will pull you out of the "fire" before it is too late...He knows exactly where you are. Satan is a liar and the father of all lies {John 8:44}, never forget this.
Satan's hand can only reach as far as God allows...

Today there is a problem that is very real in the church and it is complacency. Many attend church yet, they are never moved by the Presence of the Holy Spirit. They go through the motions but, there is only shallowness and complacency in their heart. These churches are called "Church of the living dead". Some set up coffee and doughnut shops in the sanctuary to draw the people in. The pastor teaches a watered~down word that couldn't sustain you when Satan attacks and surely won't convict the heart of sin. What will it take to stir up that desire to seek out the Lord?
I have personally realized it takes me getting alone with the Lord in prayer and seeking Christ through His Holy Word to have that special fire in my spirit to keep me going for the Lord. When trials come, Satan wants to bring us down, to have us walk in depression, to want to walk away from what we know is godly, yet if we hold on, the Master will bring us through. This is a personal decision each individual must make as he or she walks with the Lord, no one can do it for you.
2 Thessalonians 2:3~4
"Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God."

Jude 16
"These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage."
Have you ever been around someone that constantly complains about everything or everyone that come in contact with? I have and the first thing I do is get away from them. Sometimes we have to cut our losses and move on. These people want someone to be in the "mulligrubs" with them, but I want nothing to do with this garbage. They are never happy with anything and if you ask them, they can do it better than the person that God has elected to do the job. I find these people offensive and I want nothing to do with them. I make them a matter of prayer and trust that God will touch their heart, changing them from the offensive person they are. I even find myself wondering if they truly know the Lord. Rather than complaining they would be better off to take time to get alone with the Lord and pray for those they murmur and complain about.
If you have people in your life that act this way, cut your ties, move away from them because if you don't, they will rub off on you...

In 1 Corinthians 5:9-13 "I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators: Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world. But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolator, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within? But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
Many find themselves in situations that God calls us to stay away from. They will spend time or fellowship with those that are living in sexual sin, yet, God is very clear concerning what we are to do. Sadly, they do not heed the Word of God. As searching the Bible for His Word to follow through with what God tells us to do:
1. In 2 Corinthians 6:17
“Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.”
God clearly says to stay away from those that choose to walk in error of the Word.
2. Ecclesiasticus 6:13
“Separate thyself from thine enemies, and take heed of thy friends.”
As Christians, it is important to search the scriptures and follow what God tells us to do, not what we want to do, but remember God gives us a "free choice" to do what we want, He never forces us. The Word is the guideline to live a godly and fruitful lifestyle, so I will love and pray for those that choose sin, from a distance...

Each and everyday we are blessed with a new day. How we enter into that day, depends on what kind of day we will have. The men of the Bible spoke something over themselves that honored the Lord. Psalm 19:14 states: "Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer." They trusted the Lord, we need to learn to do the same thing:
WHAT WOULD U SAY WHEN YOU START YOUR DAY?
● Moses would say, "Lord, if You don't go with us or before us, we are not going anywhere."
● Abraham would say, "The Lord will provide."
● Jacob would say, "I won't let go of You unless You bless me."
● Joshua would say, "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord."
● Samuel would say, "Speak, Lord, for Your servant is listening."
● Nehemiah would say, "The joy of the Lord is my strength."
● David would say, "The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want." and "This is the day that the Lord has made and I will rejoice and be glad in it."
● Solomon would say, "Trust in the Lord, oh my soul, and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your path."
● Isaiah would say, "Arise and shine for my Glory has come." and "No weapon formed against me shall prosper."
● Jeremiah would say, "The Lord has plans to prosper me and not to harm or fail me."
● Jabez would say, "Oh, that you may bless me and enlarge my territory."
● Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego would say, "We will not bow down to any image but will serve the Lord."
● Ezekiel would say, "Any dry bones in my life, live again."
Let your words make a difference in your everyday life...

Why is hell so awful? One, it was created for satan and his demons. Secondly, because people don’t realize that hell is the absence of God. Revelation 21:8, "But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death."
There’s no air in hell...because God is a breath of life.
There is no peace in hell...because God is the prince of peace.
There is no comfort in hell...because God is the comforter.
There is no love in hell...because God is love.
Hell is darkness...because God is the light.
Without God life would be Hell on earth...

2 John 1:7
"For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist."
2 Timothy 3:5
"Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away."
There are churches that have no knowledge of what God's Word says and there are so-called ministers standing behind the pulpit that God never called to do so. If they were they would speak His Word, not their opinion. Recently, we were sitting in a service, the man behind the pulpit went on what we call a "rabbit trail", way off and far away. There was no biblical backing of what he was saying and Praise God most of the people in the church had enough knowledge of God's Word, that they knew his words were not of God. He was just speaking words that were appealing to him and not the true believer in Christ.
I want to know the Word of God enough that the devil cannot send a "ringer" in the Body of Christ or my life and bring deception. I want to live a life full of Christ, giving Him first place in all I say or do. If I do not know the Word, I can and will be deceived by false teachers...

A group of ministers were discussing whether or not they ought to invite Dwight L. Moody to their city. The success of the famed evangelist was brought to the attention of the men as a reason for inviting him.
One unimpressed minister commented, “Does Mr. Moody have a monopoly on the Holy Ghost?”
Another quietly replied, “No, but the Holy Ghost seems to have a monopoly on Mr. Moody.”
What does the word "monopoly" mean? It is "the exclusive possession or control of the supply of or trade in a commodity or service." No one can have a monopoly on the Holy Spirit, but they sure can have such a relationship with the Lord, that helps them to know and understand who the Holy Spirit is and how He operates. Many do not know who the Holy Spirit is, because as the scripture says in John 16:13, "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 shew you things to come." Anyone that is a Christian, can have a relationship where the Holy Spirit will lead and guide each of us.
When we submit ourselves to the Lord, we have access to the Precious Holy Spirit. I want that access, I want Him to lead me and guide me in the things of God, that I do not go in the wrong direction. Dwight L. Moody knew the Lord and the Holy Spirit guided him, because He gave His life to Him...

Many believe there is no Heaven or Hell. Heaven is a place for those that have accepted Jesus Christ as their Saviour and live a life pleasing unto the Lord. John 3:7, says it very clearly: “Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.” There is also a religion that believes that Heaven is a place where men will have many virgins, which is ridiculous. But today I want to talk about Hell, is it a real place or just a myth? Let's see what God's Word has to say.
For those of you that do not believe in God, or that there is a Hell, you are in for a rude awakening one day. Here are several scriptures:
1. Revelation 21:8
"But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death."
2. Revelation 20:15
"And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."
3. Matthew 13:50
"And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth."
Those that think that they can live any way they choose and still be with the Lord in Heaven have never read the Bible. I have given 3 powerful and thought provoking scriptures, yet there will be those that want to argue the point. Well, I will not argue God's Word, I stand on it and will not twist it or turn to appease anyone. I will tell you the Truth from God's Holy Word, then it is your choice to choose where you will spend eternity.
Hell is real...

I don't know about you, but I have been around people that honey oozes off their lips, making you believe they are the sweetest person in the world. Sadly, I have learnt that after getting to know them, I would rather spend my time alone, than have to be with them. They have no care for anyone but themselves. Sadly they do not have a giving or caring spirit in them, it is always me me me.
In Matthew 15:8 scripture tells us:
“This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.”
Do you know anyone like that?, sadly, I know many. There heart is so far from God, yet they say the right things, but their actions do not match their words. Those sweet syrupy words that they speak mean nothing to God as their life shows different. I try very hard to stay away from those individuals because they can bring you down spiritually. When we speak our actions and words should line up with the Word of God, if they do not, it may be time to get on your knees and ask the Lord to change you.
Matthew 12:37, “For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.” That is surely something to think about...

We are all sinners saved by God's Amazing Grace, yet there are those that sin and try to hide it. They have closed their heart to the fact that they have sinned against God and His Word. FACT: You can't hide anything from God, He knows everything. Numbers 32:23, "But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the Lord: and be sure your sin will find you out."
People try to rationalize that it really wasn't our fault or God will turn His eyes the other way, so my sin can be justified. Think about King David, he took Urijah's wife, Bathsheba, brought her to his bed and then to cover his sin, he had her husband murdered. The child he conceived with Bathsheba died, yet he never repented, but continued to cover his sin. It took the Prophet Nathan, to remind him of his sin.
Until we deal with our sin, there is no peace, no joy and surely there is no victory in our daily walk. God deals with the heart, but some refuse to listen. If you have sin that you have not dealt with, ask God to seek your heart and bring repentance in your life...He is waiting on you to come to Him....

So many have been deceived by someone claiming to be a Christian or a Prophet, but in reality they were nothing, but a servant of Satan.
How can we know for sure that we are not being deceived? One sure way is that when they speak, what they say lines up with the Word of God. Sadly, not everyone knows the Word, so that is what these deceivers are hoping for. They seek the innocent, unchurched, or unlearned in God's Word. I have found another way to know if a person is a Deceiver, is by their actions and attitudes. Eventually, what is in them, will come to the surface and they will expose themself. In Matthew 24:4~5, scripture tells us: "And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many." The Word says "many" will be deceived and they will walk in darkness instead of the Light of God's Word.
Many will run to a conference or a minister to get a "word" from them, when they could get in the Holy Bible, read His Words and let the Holy Spirit speak to your heart, guiding and leading in whatever we need to do. Remember, man will deceive you, but God and His Word will never do so...seek the Master instead of the words of a man...
Don't be deceived by the wolf in sheep's clothing...

Don't be deceived by the wolf in sheep's clothing...

The late Rev. David Wilkerson made this powerful statement:
"I don’t believe every misfortune that befalls a Christian comes from the devil. We wrongly blame him for a lot of our own carelessness, disobedience and laziness. It’s easy to blame the devil for our foolishness. That way, we don’t have to deal with it. There is a real devil present in the world today, though, and he is busy at work."
When things go wrong the first thing we do is blame someone else or we blame the devil, when really it is because we have made bad decisions. I know people do not want to hear this, but how true it is. How can we change this things that seem to go wrong in our life?, sometimes we cannot because we may have to go through them, so we can grow in Christ. Okay, I know I hear another "Oh No" or "I really didn't want to hear this", but we need to realize that God knows exactly where we are and what we are going through. He has not closed His ears to our prayers, He is allowing us the ability to mature. I truly believe it is not how we enter into a trial or tribulation, but how we come out on the other side. Have we learnt anything that will make us a better Christian? Have we allowed God to humble our hearts? Have we walked in Tust, believing whatever happens He is there.
Next time you go through a trial, ask yourself, did I cause this by my attitude, disobedience, carelessness, or laziness or is God taking me through a time of testing? If you Trust Him, you will come through better than you went in...Know for a fact, if you serve the Lord, Satan will come after you, be prepared!!!
Ephesians 6:10~11
"Finally, my brethren, be strong in the LORD, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil."

Julia Ward Howard was born May 27, 1819, in New York City, she was the 4th of 7 children. Her father was stockbroker on Wall Street and a banker. She was in the "lap of luxury", she had privater tutors until she was 16. Since her father was so successful, she would meet Charles Dickens.
In 1841, she would meet Samuel Gridley Howe, a physician that was interested in her sister, but by 1843, they would marry, even though there was an 18 year age difference. They would have 6 children, raising her children in Boston, but this was a very unhappy marriage, they would end up separating in 1852. She would find after his death in 1876, that he had made several bad investments with her inheritance from her father and most of her money was gone, but Samuel had never told her.
Her inspiration to write "The Battle Hymn of the Republic", was after a visit to Washington D.C. where she would meet President Abraham Lincoln. in 1861. After the song was published she became very popular, becoming involved with a literary magazine, "Northern Lights". Julia became involved in women's sufferage, trying to help women become able to get a better education. She would also promote Christian values.
On October 17, 1910, Julia would die of pneumonia at her home "Oak Glen", in Portsmouth Rhode Island. 4,000 people would sing "Battle Hymn of the Republic" at her funeral to honor her life, her work, and commitment. Her song will ever be in our history forever....
