ENTERTAINING THE DEVIL

llCorinthians 10:4...For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
5. Casting down imaginations, and everything that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; We can't entertain the devil, or the feelings of the flesh..I didn't use to understand exactly what this meant..and how to not do this...but God is teaching me to stop listening to the devil or entertain him...I find if I don't do this, it will cause me to be in a peaceful state of mind..so you can stay tuned into the spirit.
Romans 8:5..For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. When your mind is full of things that is bothering you, you can't be used by God much...All you do is set and worry and fret... The Bible says: if our mind is stayed upon the Lord, we will have perfect peace...sometimes we don't know how to do this, because our minds are flooded with troubles and worrys... I am learning everytime a thought comes to my mind, if it is about pass due bills, my husband, my children, what someone has done to me, how bad a shape the churches are in or, no one can live right anymore. What ever lie the devil is telling me, or something telling you to stop writing, that it ain't helping no one. Anything the the devil tells you , you can reverse it. If he tells you someone hates you and you hear that all time, that means they really love you. If you feel that you are doing no good, reverse it, that means you are. All these carnal thoughts are not God. Rom. 8:7..Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: Saten and your flesh is, trying to stop you from letting God use you. God speaks through the spirit. If you listen to those thoughts long, you will be controlled by them, and you will become bitter, and want to fight back, or fall in deep depression, or what ever spirit you are entertaining...and then you will be in the wrong spirit. Why because you entertained his lies? You invited him in for a cup of coffee, and listened to his lies, stop it when he first starts telling his lies. If you give him an inch he will take a mile. He will have you ready to give up and end it all. Start swinging the sword of the spirit. If you don't, God will have to send someone to minister to you, to get you to see what you have done, and free you from that spirit. I don't mean we can't think of nothing but God...He's not a hard taskmaker..He knows we have things to take care of in this world we live in..He wants us to enjoy life and be happy, what do you think the joy of the Lord is for. I'm not talking about enjoying sin. When you are planting your flowers or going to the grocery store or what ever, our minds don't have to be troubled, which causes us to look like we are about to die...Most everybody you see..you ask them how are they doing...and all that comes out of their mouths is murmuring and complaining, and sounds like they are about to die..and then when they meet someone they say, you need the Lord in your life like me...dear Lord if it makes you look and act like them, you probably figure that you are better off like you are...cause they look like they are about to die, and you feel bad enough as it is...I don't mean we can't tell each other things, that is bothering us, to edify and pray for one another other. You can tell if it's a cry for help, or a spirit of murmuring and complaining, which only will discourage you, if you listen to it long. One great example of a christian is a young brother, I know, he is the son of a Jesus name preacher...He is in a wheel chair and everytime you see him, you ask him, how are you doing? He always replies..."great man"...he never complains, even though he is in a lot of pain and in a wheel chair...he plays the drums for his dad in church and he's one of the greatest drum players and singers you have ever heard or ever will hear..he wares bands around his little hands to hold the sticks in his hands to play the drums...he never complains, the music in nashville wants him, he is so good..but he says no, he is playing for Jesus and not the devil...He was expected to die when he was small or be a vegetable, he was on the honor roll at school...he takes care of all his dad's business, extremely smart...One day he will walk and have a healing ministry...That I do believe, he is faithful and his dad has taught him will. A great warrior for Christ...and you can't get people with two good hands and legs, to do nothing but murmur and complain...
1Cor. 10:10..Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmur and were destroyed of the destroyer.You can't help what comes across your mind, but we have the power through the Holy Ghost to get rid of these thoughts and worrys. Bringing our thoughts subject to the Holy Ghost...If you wake up wondering how in the world you are going to pay your bills, reach over and pray over them, the spirit of God, is teaching me to do this. And go on about your business. If you believe and have faith..you want worry no more. If you start worrying go pray until you pray through, then read your Bible and fill your mind with the word ..you will if you are sick of worrying..I'm sick of it how about you...I want to work for God and be a light to people...I'm tired of listening to the devil and my fIesh, telling me lies....I don't want to look like a mule when, they see me coming and they have to step around the corner to keep from talking to me... I HATE THE SPIRIT OF MURMURING AND COMPLAINING... The more you entertain a thought, the bigger it gets, until you are so depressed that it will choke the life out of your little ...tender plant of peace you have sowed in your garden...it's crab grass, chop it down.. Stop listening to the feeling of the flesh..it has nothing to do with God...
God is spirit, we must learn that...you feel like sometimes you have nothing, and God is departed from you....thats your flesh...Hes still there..sometimes he don't manifest His self until He's needed...Why would he manifest His self all time to me..I walk by faith..I know he is there, I want to feel him all time, but I can't...Sometimes He seems to be a sleep...But the minute He's needed, or wants you to do something He will get your attention... I can't under stand why people are so easy to listen to the feelings of the flesh, including myself...God let me know this after, he woke me up this morning...Ministers have visitations, from God. And that makes them fear, and it lets you know how helpless you are. You are no match for God or the devil. You are weak flesh...the human forgets easy. So God has his ministers of fire to keep reminding you. If you ever have a visit, from not the Lamb, (that Jesus is,) but he is also the Lion of the tribe of Judea, when the Lion visits you, you will wake up. You are in the palm of his hands, you are going no where, and this you will see and feel. If you run or drown yourself in the sea, he will be there waiting on you, so if you are chosen, you may as well stop running, I have stopped running. I ran for a long time, because I was so frightened of his presence, when He introduced me to the other side of Him, THE LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDEA, not the meek and humble lamb. I was so scared that I dreaded to come home, afraid God would talk to me. Soon as I went to sleep, He would visit me, I could not get away from him. I loved the sweet humble Jesus, but The lion I could do with out. I use to tell him this, I'd rather you visit me as the humble Jesus, but it didn't work. I was going to see the other side of Him, like it or not. But you get use to Him, and wait for Him, I'm not so afraid any more. I'm getting use to his presence as THE LION...That will put the fear of God in you. When He would visit me in the night, I would cover my head up afraid to move. He has visited me in dreams and in visions, the visions I would see like a t.v. screen coming on the wall. I have lost my Bible before, and he would show me, in a vision where I had hid it. I had it under the mattress, in the bed room. The prophet told me I was chosen for the gospel and ordained by his word....I feel like a nobody, but I have to walk by faith no my flesh feelings. I have had two death experiences. And many visitations from God, but I am like moses WHO AM I.. The Lamb you will fall at his feet and cry, your heart out feeling his love and compassion.. The Lion you will fear for your life. Many little sheep have not been introduced to the Lion. Maybe never will, he only visits his chosen I guess. One thing people are going to see real soon, is his wrath poured upon this world....PEOPLE ARE NOT GETTING BY WITH ALL THIS SIN...The chosen has to reach out to the little sheep, that don't understand. Our flesh can't comprehend all this. Thats why he visits us, to remind us. IT'S A FEARFUL THING TO FALL INTO THE HANDS OF THE LIVING GOD. We may as well give up and come subject to his will for our lifes.
My sister runs to me for comfort and peace, when the devil is driving her crasy...she said she knows, if she can gets to me, everything will be alright, but at the same time the devil whispers, don't bother her, she is tired of helping you, if she listens to this lieing spirit, she will turn around and go back home...and she is feeling all this peace from me, and half the time I don't feel nothing...I just have to believe he is there. If I pray and read and obey him. If I'm not doing these things, then I have a reason to worry...She says everytime she gets on the road that comes up in the hollow, where I live she feels peace, all up the road, I smile, thats kind'a hard for me to believe...I feel like I'm nothing much...just a rejected cup that the master has put back together, if you feel anything, it's the Lord certainly not me..I am as filthy rags...but he that is in me is pure and holy..
We've got to understand that the flesh is a gainst God, it cannot understand the ways of God, nor does it want to. That is why we have to crusify it. Your flesh is your enemy, think about it. All it wants to do is watch the late show and pop popcorn. And be at ease. We have to force it, to come subject to the spirit of God. It's like trying to tame a stubborn mule. And the mules tongue is like deadly posion, which can only be tamed by the Holy Ghost. You can train your self to stop entertaining the devil or the flesh...it's dangerous to entertain the devil, how do I know, cause I've done it a hundred times and have to pray my way out of it. And if I have to spend all my time praying and struggling to stay free, how am I going to help anybody else..see what I mean..there's no use to worry about nothing, you're only killing your self, depression and worry is the number one cause, for sickness. Joy doeth good like a medicene. THATS THE MEDICENE WE NEED. It also hinders the spirit from flowing through you..You become dead and dried up, a stumbling block.
THEY SAY WHY DOES YOUR GOD MAKE YOU SO MISERABLE. It's not God causing it, it's our disobedience. I tell my sister, she is sick so much, bless her heart. She will say, I feel like, I don't have nothing. I tell her over and over, just because you're sick don't mean you don't have the anointing...that is your flesh it has nothing to do with God....For example..she may say, I don't know how I have up lifted you today or how you could feel the spirit in me to help you...because I am so sick, I have just about had it....see going by the feeling of the flesh...I tell her, IT'S THE SPIRIT IN YOU NOT YOUR FLESH, just because your flesh is sick don't mean your spirit is...GOD IS A SPIRIT...we worship him in spirit and in truth...don't forget the TRUTH...People are following the prophet and wanting the Kingdom Power, but they are forgetting the little foxes that spoil the vine. If we can't concur the little foxes how on earth, do we think we can run after, a man of God and obtain the Kingdom power. I SAY WE ARE WASTING OUR TIME...less stop wasting the man of God's time also.
We've got to learn to separate the feelings of the flesh, from the spirit. Endure hardness as a good soldier...humble your self and be willing to let God, bring those thoughts under control...stop wanting to fight back and defend your self...Thank God for your mean husband or wife...cause they may be, the only reason that we seek God so hard half the time..If it wasn't for them we probably would get slowful..Less stop acting like angels, we were all borned with a old rotten dirty spirit..and we have to let the Holy Ghost crusify it...kill it...so the man child can come alive inside of us...and help the ones that ain't dead get dead, if we are so dead.. Stop teasing the devil...better stop listening to him...if you listen long he will have you..you will have all kinds of spirits a hold of you...get a pure mind..get a Christ mind. We can do it but we have to work on it...if we mess up, don't quiet and say, It don't work for me..keep doing it over and over and pretty soon, it will come natural, you will instantly go and get rid of the bad thoughts and worrys that you have...pretty soon you want even have to pray...you will just not worry...you are learning to trust the Lord...Don't waste precious time, worrying about your trouble marriage...just give it to the Lord...get rid of the tormenting thoughts..and trust Him to work it out, we our selfs sometimes just make it worse, you say I can't, I say you can, we can do all things through Christ, that strengeth us...we are like children, we learn each day in our walk with the Lord, we can't get it all over night. It takes years, walking with him daily....Getting one bit at a time. If you can't get the thought out of your mind by your self and you wrestle with it..He will send someone by, that will help free you from it. Cause he does me..If He see's we are determined to fight for that PERFECT PEACE...REMEMBER FAITH DON'T WORRY...I'M LEARNING TO DO THIS DAILY...I'M LEARNING TO LEAN...WE CAN IF WE REALLY WANT TO....I'm tried of worrying, how about you...we don't have too, you know. With a little work we can do it through, CHRIST....you have to really want it..don't do it one day and say it didn't work for me...keep working on it, keep hoeing your garden if the crab grass comes back (thoughts, worrys), take the Holy Ghost hoe and chop it down..we die daily you know....stop worrying about when and how long it is going to take God to heal you...just thank him for healing you, start confessing it. And be about your Fathers business, work with all your might, with what ever he has, given you to do.....when He gets through with you He will move you to another position...maybe if you wasn't in prison, you wouldn't be willing to do what he is giving you to do...you would be running way ahead of him, trying to do some great thing, and fogetting about Him...all God's work is great and important...I want to do greater things sometimes, but I have to be careful, cause if I"m not faithful with what I'm doing now, I wouldn't be with the greater things. Besides there is nothing greater, if God is using you to do anything, It is great...we can't be happy preaching to three, we think we have to preach to three million. If you can't do the same with three, then something is lacking in you...and He will put you back in the fire, or you will lose out like Saul in the Bible...so many people lack this...instead of making the best of it, where ever they are, they become slowful...they either don't understand, that we have to be faithful in the little, before we can do more. Or they just want the praise of man....think about it...when you go through the fire enough you will be faithful..with the three....You are very special, most people wouldn't hold on to God and work with three....I SAY NOT MANY WOULD....you are very special, most people would just forget God..well I am in tears, because I just realized how special we are...most preachers that is over a large group of people, their hearts ain't right no way...If I can't be faithful with a million, father keep me where I am, cause I don't want to lose out with you....IT'S NOT WORTH IT......Oh how special a person is that is in bodily pain and still holds on to God, and keeps working for him...think about it...it's easy to work for God when all is well, but most can't when they are screaming in pain....COULD YOU.....SET AND THINK ABOUT IT...If we are a little depressed, we are ready to quiet..or someone hurts your feelings, or used you. Look at Job, could you do that....I know two that are in Jobs ash box, they are on my webpage....and I highly confident them and respect them....cause I know, they are willing to die for him..and there's not many...they can jump and shout, but honey when you are in the ash box, is when it really tells what you are made of....THEY WILL NOT STAY THERE FOR EVER.... YOU CAN REST ASSURE, HE WILL BRING THEM OUT. It's easy to have faith when the house is full of food...but what about when the meal barrels are empty...It's easy to preach faith when your'e not sick....it's easy to talk it, but not so easy to walk it....everybody is talking it....but when trouble comes they call 911. Your house hold is the ones that is going to come against you the most, then the church, then the sinners...I'm learning, whatsoever state I am in to be content....wait upon Him...don't get in a hurry, if you do you'll miss him... GOD BLESS ALL GOD'S LITTLE SHEEP..OH HOW JESUS LOVES US..AND WANTS US TO TRUST HIM AND ENTER INTO THAT RESTING PLACE WITH HIM...we don't have to be burdened down and troubled all time..less learn to trust our father....and remember don't let judging condemning spirit, take what we can have, with our father. You want be the loser, vengeance is mine I will repay saith the Lord..we want lose by humbling our flesh, and turning the other cheek...Less trust our Lord to death's door...we don't need doctors, all we need is Jesus...if I trust the doctors I get worse, but if I throw the pills away and trust my Father(Jesus) I get well, oh you may not at first, he will try you..but he will not fail you...MY FATHER DON'T FAIL HIS CHILDREN, THAT TRUST HIM..... Learn to live by faith, not what the devil or the flesh is telling you....walk in his word..for example if the word says, by my stripes you are healed. Don't listen to the devil and the flesh telling you, you will die, if you don't get to the doctor. Thats listening to the flesh and not the word. Don't entertain those thoughts, TRUST AND WAIT. We don't need doctors, we need to have faith in His word. If we believed the word like we did the doctors, we would get somewhere. You're not going to die. Most people that go to the doctors, get worse and die. They say I'm not against doctors, well I am, I don't need them, I need faith in God. If we can have faith for our salvation, why can't we have faith for our healing. I tell you why you can't because your preacher, goes to the doctor his self. Oh he will preach faith until, he falls over with a stroke and then he will call 911. I never seen so many people under a doctors care. Doctors are for sinners, we don't need them. If you take a certain medicene for so long, it want do you any good no way. You believe everything the doctor says, and nothing the Bible says. I have taken medicine before, and I would always get worse, when I would get sick of it and get some faith, then I would get well. It's hard to wait on God when we are in pain. But when God sees your faith, He will not fail you. I don't believe God heals through medicine's. If you go to the doctor, then give him the praise, not God. When you have a sickness unto death, the Lord has to heal you any way. Even if you are leaning on the arm of flesh (doctors) Or you will die, so why not just trust Him from the start.. All the doctors can do is numb the pain, in that case, give the Lord the praise, cause even though your faith was weak, God had to heal you any way, He does that sometimes too you know..if we cry out to Him when we have failed him. The woman with the issue of blood, spent all her living on doctors and grew worse...she just wasted her money...Jesus had to still heal her. He's so full of mercy, isn't He... If your'e not sick, you will be when they get done with you.
There is coming a time when you will not be able to go to the doctors, when the mark sets in...so you had better some way get a hold of faith. Make up your mind, trust Him or die. HE WILL NOT FAIL YOU, don't let fear take hold of you. Don't listen to satens lies. Or the flesh saying if you don't get to the doctor you are going to die. Don't entertain your thoughts and fears. It works, I've been there. I'VE ALSO HEARD PREACHERS. GET UP AND TALK of how they live by faith and don't take medicine, and me knowing they do. Don't let this hinder you...all liars will have their part in the lake of fire. If a preacher goes to the doctor, I don't want him for a pastor, cause they are lacking faith. Cause I want some one to help me obtain faith. I've been in that kind of church before and they will drain all the faith in you out. I came off the death bed with no doctor or medicine, when I was serpent bit. Years after this, I started going to a church where the preacher didn't have this kind of faith. And when I stayed there for a while, listening to his unbelief and complaining, of why did God allow this to happen to him. I was drained of all my faith and started taking medicene to. But thank God I am getting my faith, I once had back. And I'm not going to set under a preacher again that trusts doctors. If God can heal me, when I was serpent bit, then there is no case to hard for him. This is to help, never to hurt, I don't have a spirit to hurt no one cause I have been there too. I am the most understanding person in the world, probably. But the word cuts like a knife, it's not me, it's the word and we can't compromise, no matter how it hurts us. It may make the flesh mad, but it will heal you if you let it.
LORD KEEP ME HUMBLE, WHAT EVER IT TAKES. Keep me on my knees...The mark is at the door, we better be praying. Oh God don't let me go to sleep, in the mid night hour. don't let me be like the foolish virgins..wake us up God, what ever it takes. If all the preachers fall away, and give in to the spirit of lust...don't let me....You can over come, that lust...it's up to you, we don't have to give in to these hellish spirits. God has given me victory over lust, it don't entice me an more, I have found something better. oh you say I'm never tempted, then you are lieing, if you are 16, 30 or a 100, you will be tempted. If you have lusting eyes for women or men, how can you help anyone else over come, when you are still entertaining lust and havn't over come it yourself, if you entertain it for one second you have not over come it. When you over come it you will stop it instantly, and rebuke that foul unclean sprit. Spirits don't fool me, God lets me feel a lot of spirits, I have prayed since a little girl, God please give me the gift of, discerning of spirits. So I want be decieved...I'm still praying for it. I don't know if he has given it to me or not, but he lets me know and feel a lot of spirits, that most preachers can't feel.
You will be tried in all points, you will be tried with money. A lot of people fall with these temptations, but we don't have to. We have the power to stand, if we want to, greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world.
WE CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST, WHICH STRENGTHS US. not through our flesh, for it is weak and frail.
IT'S UP TO US....God's not a toy to play with and put Him back on the shelf when we get done with Him.
It's a fearful thing to fall in the hands of the living God. Better stop playing church.
THINK ABOUT IT....
