I feel strongly everyone should leave all such things -the occult, mediums, tarot cards etc alone. Never get involved. 

Yet people think it is fun, harmless or even compelling if newly bereaved and wishing to contact the dead. 

It is so unwholesome on every level. Why meddle with forces one knows nothing about. They are never going to be good news! The Bible warns us but our own logic should anyhow. Why consult the dead about anything. 

People seem amazed that mediums can tell them true things. Yes they can i have been to one a long time ago before i knew better. The forces she was in touch with are very very real. I have also sensed bad spirits a few times when i first became a christian. They are here but cannot harm us if we focus on Jesus Christ and our faith in the light and power of God. It is essential to pray for help. 

At this season of Halloween people are celebrating all things evil. Why? Children and adults think it is fun. It's really not. We as followers of Christ know that. 

 

 

 

 

I agree with you .We don’t celebrate Halloween .true followers of Christ know that.

Amen.God is indeed faithful.

No matter what happens God is good.No matter how it happens God is still good.No matter why it happens God is very very good.To an all knowing God who designs the big picture and minute details,He is good all time.Thank You Jesus for choosing us as your children.Amen

Whoever has ears let them hear Amen..Praise Him in the morning.Praise Him in the night Praise Him in moments of affliction.Praise Him in moments of good times.Praise Him in every season and out of season.Praise the One who speaks to each one of us to draw us closer to Him not as the world thinking but according to His ways and thoughts as they are higher than our limited views.Amen.Shalom???

Every split second,a person dies.Every split seconds souls are crying for help.Every split second ppl are dying for remaining strong in Jesus.Every split second,ppl are being persecuted for their faith.Every split second something is turning ppl away from God or bringing ppl towards God in repentance.Every split second counts.What have we been doing in every split second?Thank You Jesus.Amen.

When our needs and desires no longer blind us to the needs of others, when our desire to help others becomes more than a desire but increases to an overwhelming desire and a great need, then we will understand the power of love, compassion and mercy. The hurt and pain of others must move us to great compassion, and the needs of others must move us to our knees, for by the power of prayer from a heart of compassion we shall be molded into instruments of the Lord’s mercy.

Agree

Praise God for His never ending unchanging love.Amen

Yes feathers will be ruffled.Spears will be thrown.Axes will be  placed at your neck.But be calm,keeping your eyes focussed on the giver of eternal life Jesus Christ and be the bold mouthpiece that He called you to be as time is short and the souls are many to reap.Steady,get set, move.Obey. Move in only the power and strength of God.Amen

God cares for each one of us.Even the minute details of our lives He is concerned and cares and is watchful.Look at the sparrows.Tiny creatures and yet God cares for them.Are you feeling very small in this big world?Are you feeling unworthy in this world which places worthiness in materialistic stuff?Are you feeling you have failed in everything you worked for?Are you shunned,mocked and ridiculed because you have nothing to offer?Take heart.You are precious in the eyes of God.Look away from the surroundings of the world that ask from more from you and look to the Only One Jesus Christ who gives everything to you.The world may have failed you but Jesus has never failed you and never will for His words last for eternity.Cheer up.Get Up and press on the amazing race.Will you?Thank You Jesus.Amen

I think by listening to a lot of stories about people's personal experiences, many become angered when they pray for something and feel God does not grant their request. It needs to be understood, that we must come to the Lord on His terms, with the understanding that His plans may not go according to ours. We can't always get our way with everything in life. It's just that simple. But a lot of people are immature.  

Solid food  instead of milk?.Then a person will be able to understand Let Your Will be done no matter what one’s flesh thinks so or wants so or desires so or covets so 

??What each one of us need is the guidance of the Holy Spirit who helps us to discern what is pleasing and not pleasing in the eyes of Jesus.?

Yes you ain’t having an affair.Yes you didn’t go for one night stand.Yes to the clear cut sins you did not engage in.But have you been flirting with your ‘compromised harmless speech?Have you laughed it off as it’s harmless and it’s only a joke?The scripture has already clear cut said so.Ungodly speech even the intention of it ,the birth of it ,which the defiled heart birth to ,is already flirting.One can camouflage it as harmless but The Holy God has a different view to it.Watch and do not fall into the trap.Amen

Wow!    What a wise pastor to have prayed and confided for a moment with his Father before he did anything.  Proverbs 3:5-6 is an awesome teaching.  We must never trust in our own discernment until after we have had a chat with the Lord and asked for direction.  Our Father desires that we acknowledge Him; He wants to be involved in our lives.  When we do this, He will give us wisdom and will direct our paths.  
 

 

Agree

The things we do.The steps we take.The conversations we engage in.The motives behind decisions. The show we put on with the world.Every minute detail ,the calculation by humans will be wrong as they view with limited views except for the One ,all knowing God who created you.Motives can be miscalculated by the very people you are camouflaging from but no calculation misses the eyes of God.His calculation is accurate. ? Watch and pray and repent as motives are indeed weighed by God.Amen

There are other ways but there is only One Absolute Way The Way Jesus is The Way.No other way matches up to the loving God.If you had been getting shelter from other ways and are comfortable with them remember that those shelters are only temporary which are gone in a jiffy.Taking comfort in temporal shelters is nothing compared to taking comfort in Jesus alone.All other ways fail.Lean on the Absolute Truth and He will never fail you.Amen

Remain in The Only Vine.The world is becoming more polluted with right becoming wrong and wrong taking precedence as right.Doctrines and family values are compromised all in the name of acceptance and rationality. Boldness in the Spirit is watered down with sugar coated messages to appease ppl.Watch and pray that ye remain In The Only Vine.Only then can you discern the sheep ,the goats,and the wolves in sheep clothing.Do not be lured by the blind in the Spirit.The blind in the Spirit will definitely lure you to the pit of darkness.Walk  and speak boldly in the lord as prompted by the Holy Spirit.After all,the Judge can only be Jesus Christ who judges the intention of the heart.Amen?

God is good.What He has planned will take place.What He has purposed Will birth.What humans intend to,God thwarts.Everything is engineered according to His great plan coz He is the Greatest Engineer.Amen?

psalm 33

New International Version
The LORD foils the plans of the nations; he thwarts the purposes of the peoples

Praying mold me,use me,empower me without action is futile.Pray and activate your faith in Jesus.Is The Holy Spirit impressing you to move forward.What is stop you?The storm that you are surrounded in or the anxiety of leaving the comfort boat or stepping into the sea?Step out and step in to wherever God is calling you.According to the world you maybe doing something foolish but according to God you are stepping into His great plan.Put on your full armour.Obey what God has been putting in your heart.Step out no matter what is the storm .No matter who is laughing or mocking you.Keep your eyes focused on Only Jesus.Will you?
Thank You Jesus.Amen.

You know when you are convicted and the best humble thing to do is to ask forgiveness and turn away from doing it again. Rationalizing and acting smart or giving answers according to the world to get away or avoid will satisfy the flesh but it never will be able to heal your soul.Humility is something that certainly was missing from the devil and let’s pray that it will not be missing in our lives.Amen

Comment but comment in the guidance of the Holy Spirit.?

Does it really looking good with what you are seeing?Perhaps your friend’s spouse seem perfect?Your friend’s job sounds awesome?Your best friend has a beautiful house?Your childhood friend looks good?The list goes on and on,isn’t it?The pasture always seem to be greener than where you are stepping?Watch and be discerning.It may not look to be what you think it is.Start Thanking God for the pasture that you are in right now.There is a purpose that God has placed you to where you are suppose to be.Thank You Jesus.Amen

pls note that if you are here to argue with me,I’m afraid I can’t entertain that as the pasture has definitely a great harvest which needs more attention

shalom ?
