THANK YOU CHARON, AND GOD BLESS YOU!!!!!!!
YOU KNOW WHAT? I HAVE HAD THAT "CALM BEFORE THE STORM" FEELING EVER SINCE TRUMP WON.
I CANNOT HELP IT. I'M WAITING FOR THE OTHER SHOE (ACTUALLY "BOOT") TO DROP.
SOMETHING IS UP. SOMETHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN.
OH WELL, WE CAN REST ASSURED THAT GOD IS IN CONTROL OF EVERYTHING, AND ALLOWS TERRIBLE THINGS TO HAPPEN...BUT THEY ARE ALLOWED BY HIM OR DONE BY HIM FOR HIS OWN PURPOSES.
WE'LL NEVER UNDERSTAND WHILE IN OUR EARTHLY BODIES. BUT WHEN WE MEET HIM FACE TO FACE, WE WILL HAVE THE ANSWERS TO EVERY THING WE QUESTIONED WHILE HERE.
BECAUSE "GOD IS GOOD."
IT DOESN’T MATTER IF WE THINK IT'S ATROCIOUS. HE IS HOLY AND IS UNABLE TO SIN. EVERYTHING HE DOES OR ALLOWS IS FOR HIS GLORY, AND FOR THE GOOD OF THOSE WHO WORSHIP AND OBEY HIM.
MY OLDER COUSIN ALWAYS SAID: "I DON'T HAVE TO LIKKKKKE WHAT HE ALLOWS. BUT I KNOW HE KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING, SO SINCE I CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT GOD CHOOSES TO DO, I JUST NEED TO SHUT UP."
HE SAID THAT LAST SENTENCE A BIT DIFFERENTLY; ADDING A COUPLE OF WORDS THAT ARE OBVIOUS.
HE'S RIGHT. WE CAN'T FIGHT GOD. NO PERSON, NOR ANGEL, FALLEN OR NOT, CAN.
SATAN KEEPS TRYING, BECAUSE HE IS UNTEACHABLE. HE IS DEFINITELY NOT STUPID. HE'S A GENIUS. BUT HIS THINKING IS FLAWED BECAUSE OF HIS PRIDE.
HE HAS NOT YET LEARNED THAT EVERYTHING GOD ALLOWS HIM TO DO, WILL END UP AS GOD'S PLAN. EVERY SINGLE TIME!
HE THOUGHT KILLING JESUS, WHICH IS THE WORST THING ANYONE COULD EVER DO, WOULD "GET GOD"!
AND JESUS DYING WAS THE VERY BEST THING EVER TO HAVE HAPPENED! IT WAS GOD'S PLAN ALL ALONG, SO THAT HE COULD REDEEM US!
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
I DON'T WANT TO TANGLE WITH SATAN, OR ANY DEMONS. DURING THE TIME JESUS WAS ON EARTH, HE NEVER HAD A CONVERSATION WITH SATAN OR ANY DEMONS.
WHEN SATAN TRIED TO TEMPT HIM, JESUS ANSWERED HIM ONLY USING GOD'S SCRIPTURE.
HE TOLD DEMONS TO BE QUIET. HE DIDN'T HAVE CONVERSATIONS WITH THEM.
WHY BOTHER? SATAN DOESN’T HAVE THE ANSWERS. HE IS NOT PRIVY TO EVERYTHING GOD IS DOING.
HE IS THE FATHER OF LIES, AND SPEAKING TO HIM, OR HIS DEMONS, IS A BIGGGGGG MISTAKE. IT IS ALLOWING THEM A "FOOTHOLD" OF YOU. IT IS KEEPING THEM NEAR YOU, AND NO WE DON'T WANT THAT!
EVEN MICHAEL THE ANGEL, WHEN CONTENDING WITH SATAN OVER MOSES' BONES, DARED NOT SAY ANYTHING, EXCEPT "THE LORD REBUKE YOU."
I DON'T BELIEVE MICHAEL WAS AFRAID OF SATAN. MICHAEL HAD WISDOM. THERE IS NOTHING WE NEED TO DISCUSS WITH SATAN OR DEMONS.
"RESIST SATAN AND HE WILL FLEE FROM YOU."
FLEEEEEEEEE! THAT DOESN'T MEAN TO SAUNTER AND SHUFFLE AWAY IN SLIPPERS.
IT MEANS: "GET THE HECK OUT OF THERE AS FAST AS YOU CAN!"
"BE AS WISE AS SERPENTS, BUT AS GENTLE AS DOVES."
WE LEARN FROM CHRIST...NOT FROM AN ANGEL WHO BLEW IT BIG TIME, AND IS SO BLIND TO THE POWER AND GLORY OF GOD, AND KNOWS HOW LITTLE TIME HE HAS LEFT.
HE IS JEALOUS, AND DESPISES US. SO HE AND THE DEMONS STAND BEFORE GOD AND ACCUSE US EVERY DAY. HIS GOAL IS TO HURT GOD AND HE KNOWS WE ARE PRECIOUS TO GOD...SO HE ATTACKS US.
KIND OF LIKE THE MAFIA OR OTHER CRIMINALS. THREATENING THE PERSON YOU WANT TO SEE SUFFER, BY HARMING THOSE THEY LOVE.
THOUGH HE DOES KNOW HIS FATE, AS DO THE DEMONS.
AND THEY ALL DEFINITELY BELIEVE IN GOD!
YEAH...THEY'VE DEFINITELY "MET!"
AND "THEY TREMBLE IN FEAR"!!!!!!!
LORD GIVE US ALL STRENGTH TO FACE THE END TIMES, AND GIVE US ENDURANCE, AND FAITH, SO THAT WE CAN CONTINUE WORSHIPPING YOU, OBEYING YOU, AND BEING AN EXAMPLE OF CHRIST SO THAT OTHERS WILL COME TO KNOW HIM, HAVE THEIR SINS CLEANSED, AND HAVE THEIR ETERNAL SOULS FREED FROM SIN! AND ALSO GIVE US YOUR SPIRIT DAILY, HOURLY, AS WE WAIT UNTIL THE TIME YOU RETURN FOR US! AND IF WE DIE BEFORE YOU COME BACK, "IN YOUR PRESENCE IS FULLNESS OF JOY"!
GIVE US YOUR ARMOR AND HELP US, BECAUSE PAUL WAS CORRECT!
EPHESIANS 6:10-24
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.
11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;
18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—
19 and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel,
20 for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
21 But that you also may know my affairs and how I am doing, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, will make all things known to you;
22 whom I have sent to you for this very purpose, that you may know our affairs, and that he may comfort your hearts.
23 Peace to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
24 Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.
IN JESUS' PRECIOUS NAME, AMEN!
