Wednesday's Words To Live By For February 29th – March 6th 2012 "Don’t Let The Spirit of Deception Deceive YOU”





Here is your Wednesday's Words to Live By for the upcoming week:

Scripture: 1 Peter 5:8-9 (www.biblegateway.com - NLT)
8 “Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. 9 Stand firm against him, and be strong in your faith. Remember that your Christian brothers and sisters all over the world are going through the same kind of suffering you are.”

This week’s message is especially for women; although, everyone can benefit from it. Don't be so desperate for a husband that you overlook the warning signs God is showing you!!! Follow the warning from the Spirit of discernment! Discern, discern, discern! The spirit of deception is on the loose looking to deceive silly women who are seeking a husband!! Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteous and then everything else will be added. The Bible says a man who finds a wife finds a good thing, not a wife. Don't be in a hurry! That spirit of deception is trying to take you out; this is nothing to play with.

I can tell you about this spirit because the person it was using contacted me a week ago and God delivered me out of its grasp. I knew something was not right, that was the Holy Spirit warning me, but I allowed him to keep talking and later I begin to seek God as to who this guy was and I had my friends praying with me and for me. Because I literally felt that the words he was saying was drawing me to him and I am like, “wait a minute, something is definitely not right.”

See, if I would have listened to the flesh and allowed myself to get caught up in what he was saying, I would have been through, finished:). That night, I had two of my friends pray with me, I had to get serious with this spirit and I wanted God to stop this before I got any deeper, oh I had only been talking with him for ONE week. See how fast that spirit move and try to suck you in? The next day, God showed me who this guy was, and I cut the ties between us. Just that quick, I had formed an emotional soul tie with him, in one week. Why, because he sent me 72, yes 72 emails in one week. That might not be a lot to you but it is to me:). He was texting me all during the day, saying, he miss me and asking me how was my day. All those enticing words were going where, into my soul. I did not even have to think on them, once I read them and heard them, they went into my being. That is why I am revisiting these sociopaths because the devil never gives up, he just go away for a season and come back (Luke 4:13). I have been divorced since July 2006, and since then I have been actively seeking God for God to do whatever need to be done in my life and to do what He called me to do. Now, about six years later, here comes another sociopath.

I was just going to post Donna Andersen’s web site (www.lovefraud.com) which explains fully about sociopaths on Facebook, but God wanted me to share with you the realness of sociopaths also and let you know that sociopaths are the prime candidate for a spirit of deception to use. Why? Because sociopaths has no conscience; they will not think twice about allowing the spirit of deception to use them to totally the destroy you. That should not be a surprise to you, that's what the devil do: steal, kill, and destroys BUT Jesus came that we might have life and life more abundantly (John 10:10).

Jesus is the good Shepherd, and He protects His sheep (John 10:7-10)! Thank You Jesus for snatching me out of the wolf’s mouth! I thank God for saving me from this spirit of deception and yes I have forgave the person. God let me know no matter what people do to us, we must forgive them. As I was forgiving him, I actually felt sorry for him because he was lost, going around trying to deceive God’s people. So I prayed for his salvation also; I was obedient to God’s Word in Roman 12:14; Luke 6:28; Matthew 5:44-48.

Roman 12:14: “Ask God to bless everyone who mistreats you. Ask him to bless them and not to curse them” ” (www.biblegateway.com – Contemporary English Version).

Luke 6:28: “Ask God to bless anyone who curses you, and pray for everyone who is cruel to you” (www.biblegateway.com – Contemporary English Version).

Matthew 5:44-48: “44 But I tell you to love your enemies and pray for anyone who mistreats you. 45 Then you will be acting like your Father in heaven. He makes the sun rise on both good and bad people. And he sends rain for the ones who do right and for the ones who do wrong. 46 If you love only those people who love you, will God reward you for that? Even tax collectors love their friends. 47 If you greet only your friends, what's so great about that? Don't even unbelievers do that? 48 But you must always act like your Father in heaven” (www.biblegateway.com – Contemporary English Version).

Through this experience, I am writing another book, entitled, “After the Abuse, After the Recovery, Now What?...Moving On With Your Life.” In this book God told me to explain to women the importance of seeking Him BEFORE they decide to get married. God has delivered them, restored them, and taken them through their recovery process, now they “feel” they are ready to get married again but are they really?

Are they so ready that they will overlook the warning signs that God is showing them about that person who came into their lives, saying, “I am a man of God and I love God” but all the time their spirit man is not agreeing with the person?

Are these women who say they love God and want God’s will to be done in their lives going to overlook what God is saying to satisfy the flesh? Something to think about! I am not going to give you too much of a glimpse of my book:) you have to just wait until it is released. In spite of everything that happened to me last week, I am glad that I had that experience because through it, God has strengthen me so much.

It was hard to get rid of that emotional soul tie, I felt like something was being ripped out of me and when I first stop communicating with this guy, I felt like a part of me was missing. WOW, this stuff is nothing to play with; the devil wants to jack you up so that you get so deep in bondage that it takes a long time to come out of. But he is a liar!!!! Thank God for coming rescuing me! But if I had not prayed and my friends had not prayed for me, by now, I probably would have been so deep in the devil’s control; it would have taken me back into the bondage of domestic violence and abuse.

Therefore, use my experience to not be so quick to get into a relationship. I don’t know what the world happened in my case:). I just answered the guy back after he sent me an email (in 2008 I had posted my info on a Christian web site , yeah I know now:) and I had not really thought of it since) and I responded. From there, it turned to a full pledge “hot mess” leading to him wanting to marry me:).

Another thing, in my opinion, those dating web sites is not a good thing. Anyone can sign up on a Christian web site and pretend to be a Christian; just saying! I know they are not for me! Anyway, as one of my ex-Pastor’s said, “how in the name of God and good sense” did this happen? These sociopaths are smooth operators but they are not smooth enough to fool the Holy Spirit! Thank God for the Holy Spirit in me recognizing who that guy was when he came into my life. But I gave him the benefit of the doubt! Do not do it! When God reveal the person to you, get out then don’t be fooled! I gave the guy the benefit of the doubt because he said he wanted my friends to pray with us to make sure God approved the relationship; yeah right!

I went to that web site and deleted my profile, AFTER deleting every email, text, chat, picture, poems, etc. that he sent me. Then I had to pray to God and go to the deliverance team at my church for deliverance AND denounce every soul tie formed. It is not worth it! Listen to God the first time He speaks! When you get the first red flag, stop it then, don’t try to give the person the benefit of the doubt; that spirit came to steal, kill, and destroy.

Remember, if you desire to get married you must prepare yourself for marriage! A good web site that can help you prepare is Karen Jantzi’s blog site:

Watch Out for the Spirit of Deception!



Ladies, it is time to WAKE UP! Don't be so desperate for a husband that you overlook the warning signs God is showing you!!! Follow the warning from the Spirit of discernment! Discern, discern, discern! The spirit of deception is on the loose looking to deceive silly women who are seeking a husband!! Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteous and then everything else will be added. The Bible says a man who finds a wife finds a good thing, not a wife. Don't be in a hurry! That spirit of deception is trying to take you out; this is nothing to play with. I will talk more about this later.

Wednesday’s Words to Live By For February 22nd–February 28th “Nothing Shall Separate Us From God’s Love”

Here is your Wednesday's Words to Live By for the upcoming week:

Scripture: Romans 8:35-39 (www.biblegateway.com - NIV)

“35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36 As it is written:

“For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”

37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

What you go through does not dictate who you are and it does not mean God is not with you or that He does not love you. God is and will be forever present in your life. Psalm 46:1 lets us know that God is our refuge and strength an ever-present help in time of trouble: God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” God said in Deuteronomy 31:6: “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” Therefore, God is there with us whether we feel His presence or not; during the good times and the bad times.

As the “Footprints” poem says God carries us during the bad times (paraphrased) – He picks us up in His loving arms and carries us through as a soldier would pick up his wounded comrade and carry him off the battlefield. God loves us sooooooo much – more than we could ever imagine.

We cannot allow what we go through to define us; God is in total control of our lives – He knows what He is doing in you. A lot of things we go through, God is getting something out of us. Therefore, we are not always going to feel that He is with us. Remember, faith is not a feeling! Faith is trusting God even when you cannot feel Him. Faith is trusting in God’s Word to know that He will do what He said He would do in our lives.

Right now, today, make that choice to not allow ANYTHING to separate YOU from God’s love. Storms in your life are going to come and go, people in your life are going to come and go but God will NEVER leave you nor forsake you. Rev. Timothy Wright let us know this in the song, “Troubles Don’t Last Always.”

No matter what you are going through, God there, and if you allow Him He will bring you through this battle, this storm, this unforgiveness, or whatever it is. There is nothing too hard for God (Genesis 18:14); just believe in Him! Give God your heart and take on His attributed.

You are going to make it! Just grab hold to God and hold on. The ride might get a little bumpy but hold on for dear life because YOUR life depends on it!

Shalom my friends and I am putting more videos in this week’s teaching to help encourage you.

Wednesday’s Words to Live By Feb 8th–Feb 14th 2012


Here is your Wednesday's Words to Live By for the upcoming week:
 
Wait on God! Let's not get in a hurry to do anything because the Bible lets us know in Philippians 4:6

"In nothing be anxious; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God".

We cannot do anything on our own - without God we can do nothing but with God all things are possible (Mark 10:27).

Remember, it is God who gives us the power to get wealth (Deuteronomy 8:18) and it is because of Him that we move, live, and have our being (Acts 17:28). Therefore, no matter how many times or how long you have prayed, or your present need, wait on the answer from God! Wait until He manifest what you need, don't go ahead of Him and provide your on way or lag behind Him; move when He move. Remember Saul? Lost his kingdom (1 Sam 13:14) because he got tired of waiting on Samuel to come and offer the burnt offering and peace offering (1 Sam 10:8). Saul was disobedient! He got tired of waiting and ran ahead of God. God might be telling YOU to wait! Therefore don't be disobedient and go try and make things happen (i.e. your ministry, business, marriage, house, vehicle, etc.). Wait on God! He has the perfect timing laid out for your life. God has ordered your steps!

Scripture for today:
 
Psalm 27:14: "Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD."

Wednesday' s Words To Live By For February 1st – February 7th 2012 “God Is Preparing YOU To Receive”


God do not wait until we go through something to work it out, He works it out before we go through it. He knows what is going to happen in our lives before it happens; He made us. But before He can give us what we pray for (if it’s His will), or bring us out, He first must prepare us to receive it. So we must open up and let God prepare us to receive all our stuff. We must not be so quick to say, “The devil is holding up my stuff;” no, God is preparing you to receive. The devil does not have the power to touch nothing that belongs to you without God’s permission (if you belong to God). Remember Job, satan had to ask permission to touch him (Job 1:6-12). 

God is about timing; He will never give you anything before the right time. You might think you are ready to receive but God is saying to you today, “Wait just a little longer.” If God gives you something before time, it might destroy you or cause you to turn from Him; just wait a while longer. Trust Him and it will be alright. Be willing to wait on the Lord to give you what you need; don’t get in a hurry. A good example is Saul; he disobeyed God when he was instructed to wait on Samuel for seven days so he could offer the burnt offering for the sacrifice (1 Samuel 13:7-23). 


8 “Saul waited seven days, according to the set time Samuel had appointed. But Samuel had not come to Gilgal, and the people were scattering from Saul. 9 So Saul said, Bring me the burnt offering and the peace offerings. And he offered the burnt offering [which he was forbidden to do]. 10 And just as he finished offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came! Saul went out to meet and greet him. 11 Samuel said, What have you done? Saul said, Because I saw that the people were scattering from me, and that you did not come within the days appointed, and that the Philistines were assembled at Michmash, 12 I thought, The Philistines will come down now upon me to Gilgal, and I have not made supplication to the Lord. So I forced myself to offer a burnt offering.” 

But Saul got in a hurry and offered the sacrifice himself and time he finished, Samuel showed up; he lost his kingdom because he could not wait (vs. 13-14):


13 “And Samuel said to Saul, You have done foolishly! You have not kept the commandment of the Lord your God which He commanded you; for the Lord would have established your kingdom over Israel forever; 14 But now your kingdom shall not continue; the Lord has sought out [David] a man after His own heart, and the Lord has commanded him to be prince and ruler over His people, because you have not kept what the Lord commanded you.
Saul lost out because he did not wait on God. However, look at the ones who did wait on God and received His blessings: Abraham, Moses, Joseph, Esther, Ruth, Job, David, and the list goes on and on of people who waited on God. Therefore, let us wait on God until He makes manifest what we need; let’s not move out of sync with Him. God knows exactly what we need and when we need it; let’s not be another Saul.
Scriptures to encourage you and help you wait until God move in your life: Philippians 4:6 says: “Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God.” 

Isaiah 40:31 says: “But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] shall change and renew their strength and power; they shall lift their wings and mount up [close to God] as eagles [mount up to the sun]; they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint or become tired.” 

Psalm 27:14 says: “Wait and hope for and expect the Lord; be brave and of good courage and let your heart be stout and enduring. Yes, wait for and hope for and expect the Lord.” 

1 John 5:14-15 says: “And this is the confidence (the assurance, the privilege of boldness) which we have in Him: [we are sure] that if we ask anything (make any request) according to His will (in agreement with His own plan), He listens to and hears us. 

15 And if (since) we [positively] know that He listens to us in whatever we ask, we also know [with settled and absolute knowledge] that we have [granted us as our present possessions] the requests made of Him.”
