The following are the unedited words of me, Marsha ..
I have to slow down so I can hurry up! The spiritual battle, you know the one Satan a.k.a. Lucifer, has been fighting since he got kicked out of heaven with God, is increasing and God is revealing daily. Words matter, my words matter, because they determine whose side you are on; I am on God’s side.
Psalm 19:14 (KJV)
14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.
Even though I am writing to women, though men read my post as well, I need God’s approval. But, I also need to write with careful thought so that the reader understands how to be a woman of God in a world full of demoniacally influenced people. I did not name names or say that you were influenced by demons but there are many Christians who are.
I have been paying attention to what is happening in the world via non-traditional news sources that I can trust. I am also aware of what traditional news sources are saying, that is cable and network news. The Bible has the final say and my conclusion is: The spiritual battle that Satan has been fighting since he was kicked out of heaven has increased in intensity and God is revealing to the world who is on his side.
I see how many people who identify as Christian are actually being used by Satan. Now, the Devil is not omnipresent therefore he has assigned demons to influence people. I write influence and not possessed on purpose, by definition of the word you can figure out the difference.
Proverbs 3:5-6 (KJV)
5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
It is important to read your Bible, read your print Bible, and not one of those “revised” wishy washy Bibles that paraphrase God’s word. Side note: I love the Voice Bible for it’s poetic writing but it is not a reference Bible for me, it is a Bible commentary at best. I am currently reading the New American Standard Bible (NASB) a print copy, I just finished reading the English Standard Version (ESV), when I am finished I will read the King James again or perhaps my newist Bible the Legacy American Standard Bible and when I am finished that I will read one of my Bibles again – wash (with the word), rinse (meditate on the word), repeat (read the Bible again). Of course I have the Bible on my phone, my laptop and a few translations on my Kindle but I study with my Bible, pen and paper. I write this because there is a lot of reinterpretations of God’s word and many Christians are gravitating to the lie.
We are to read our Bibles and ask Father God to give us understanding. Proverbs says we are to “lean not unto thine own understanding’ Jesus said: Follow Me (Matthew 16:24, 19:21; Mark 8:34, 10:21; Luke 9:57-62, 18:22; John 10:27, 12:26). We are saved because of faith in Him not them.
To many people today are submitting their wills to them because: it is the way “I was raised”, it is “my culture”, it is trendy, it is whatever one else is doing it is easier. Satan is making many lives easy today but if you had read the first few chapters of Genesis everything that looks good “ain’t good for ya!”
This is my problem! And why I have not been posting lately: Many people find it easier to fit into the ways of the world. Jesus prayed for you:
John 17:13-19 (KJV)
13 And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
It is written: “For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.” (1 John 2:16 King James Version). There is nothing I can write to change anyone’s mind about how she, or he thinks, so I write to that one person who is seeking the truth. To you my sister I write: It is better to live alone on this eternity and spend your eternal life in the presence of Abba Father than to burn in hell forever.
1 John 2:14-17 (KJV)
14 I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.
15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
