Occult practices are apart of
our world. It seems that mainstream movies and books focus on the devil and
fear of demons, while an idea is promoted that the Holy Spirit of God, and His
angels of light, are either powerless against the devil, out of fashion for
today's modern culture, or not even mentioned, with little or no attention
given to His right arms--His mighty angels!
This trend is disturbing to me.
It breeds an idea that evil is scary and intriguing. But there is only One that
we are to fear, and that is God. A holy reverence for our Maker realizing that
He has the power to save our souls! And wants to save our souls so that we can
live life to its fullest and live in eternity with Him.
Which do you have a greater fear
of--the devil or God?
God has the ability to use what
was meant for evil for good, as one biblical author said "God works in all
things, And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to
those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose."
Romans 8:27,28.
But the focus has to be on God and His powers for true
deliverance. The things that we fear, the spirit of what we fear, must come
under the subjection of God. Whatever
we feed grows! Whatever we feed the most, dominates.
Their is only One God. One
denominator that has the ability to work in all things.
God is power! Through scripture we know that His power can be
administered by His very real angels of lights. We must testify of the power of
God, or the world will remain in darkness.
It should bring us comfort to
know that His angels are encamped around those who fear him, and he delivers
them (Psalm 34:7).
We must guard ourselves
against false perceptions that may root in our hearts that says science is
sanity, and only proven evidence should be deemed worthy of attention. Science
is evolving and may one day catch up with God's angels of light, on the subatomic
level, but more than likely not because Hebrews 11:1 states that "faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence
of things not seen." So the substance of faith, or the proof that God
exists, or the materialization of God and His angels, the "show me"
factor should remain a mystery, for we don't hope for things seen, we hope for
things not seen.
And when God chooses to appear those of us who
were confident in what we hoped for won't be surprised because we were the
enlightened ones all along! Beloved, take confidence in that!
We must guard our senses, for
what we allow in our hearts through our eyes and ears makes its way to our
heart. The eye is the lamp of the
body. When our eyes are healthy, our whole body also is full of light. But
if they are unhealthy, by watching
and listening to junk then our body also is full of darkness. (Luke 11:34)
Have you heard the claim that
the Word of God is outdated?
"Enlightened people" have grumbled that for centuries now, but think
about it-- presently the Bible is the number one most read book in the entire
world, traveling across time, eras and countless cultures to move on the hearts
of men. And today, men are still
getting saved! (Hebrews 4:12)
That's not passé'--that's
POWER!
Remember that GREATER is he that
is in you, than he that is in the world! 1 John 4:4
"For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper that any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart."
Hebrews 4:12
Hebrews 4:12
(Ex Satan Worshipper John Ramirez Testimony)
Praying for you and for me!
Love, Ashley
