WHAT IS LOVE?

According to the Bible Dictionary, the word “Love” means, unselfish, loyal and benevolent intention and commitment toward another. The concept of the love of God is deeply rooted in the Bible. The Hebrew term chesed refers to covenant love. Jehovah is the God who remembers and keeps His covenants in spite of the treachery of people. His faithfulness in keeping His promises proves His love for Israel and all humanity.
(NLT) Jer. 31:3 Long ago the Lord said to Israel: I have loved you, my people, with an everlasting love. With unfailing love I have drawn you to myself. (NLT) John 5:20 For the Father loves the Son and tells him everything he is doing and Son will do far greater things than healing this man. You will be astonished at what he does.
There are many meanings written in the bible about love.
1) (NLT) 1 Cor. 13:4-7 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud 5 or rude. Love does not demand its own way. Love is not irritable, and it keeps no record of when it has been wronged. 6 It is never glad about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. 7 Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
2) (NLT) 1 Cor.13:13 There are three things that will endure- faith, hope, and love- and the greatest of these is love.
3) (NLT) Gal. 5: 22-23 But when the Holy Spirit controls our lives, he will produce this kind of fruit in us: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, and self-control. Here there is no conflict with the law.
4) (NLT) Deut. 6:4- 6 “Hear, O Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord alone. * 5 And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength. 6 And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands I am giving you today.
I encourage all Christian believers to read your Bible, especially read scriptures pertaining to love. You will find the true meaning of love is a long suffering. Yes a LONG SUFFERING.
Just think for a minute, if all of us had a true meaning about love toward one or another, I truly believe, this world of ours would have less problems. Don’t you all agree with me? If you agree with me, say Amen!!!

I pray these messages are very informative to you.

IS CURSING GOOD OR BAD?

In the Bible, there is much written about “Cursing.” The word “Curse” sometimes means misfortune to another person. (NLT) Luke 6:27-28 But if you are willing to listen, I say, love your enemies. Do good to those who hate you. 28 Pray for the happiness of those who curse you. Pray for those who hurt you. (NLT) Rom. 12:14-15 If people persecute you because you are Christian, don’t curse them; pray that God will bless them. 15 When others are happy, be happy with them. If they are sad, share their sorrow. (NLT) James 3:9-10 sometimes it praises our Lord and Father and sometimes it curses those who have been made in the image of God. 10 And so blessing and cursing come pouring out of the same mouth. Surely, my brothers and sisters, this is not right!
When someone has bitterness against you, pray for them, so God will speak to their mind and heart. Spiritually, we are all brothers and sisters in Christ. The Lord said if you love me, then how can you have a curse within your heart against your brothers and sisters? Don’t you all agree with me? If you agree with me, say Amen!!! So brothers and sisters in Christ, the bottom line is do not curse anyone in this world.
I have witnessed, when someone has bitterness within his or her heart, his or her blood pressure may rise so high that it may develop into a heart attack or even stroke. When you think about it, something may have to give. For example, inside our hot water heater is a pressure and temperature relief valve, if the water temperature exceeds the normal temperature, it will release the pressure and the hot water. We as humans don’t have a relief valve like a water heater does; therefore, we must pray on forgiveness, so love may enter into our hearts. Are you with me so far? I feel this is the same scenario. In Hawaii, we say “Aloha” to everyone, meaning love to everyone. So brothers and sisters in Christ, does it make sense to you? If it does, say Amen!!!
 
I pray that this question is very informative to you.

OUR LIFE IS VERY SHORT IN THIS WORLD

As I was ordering my breakfast at the drive in, usually on Saturday morning, while waiting for my order to be fulfilled, I noticed many retired men were talking among themselves, chit chatting and gossiping about others. Some of them read their morning paper and made their crossword puzzle while drinking their coffee.
I have observed for many years, one by one, some of them have died from the group and I pray that they are in the hands of the Lord Jesus. Of course, a new person gets into the group and it becomes a cycle again.
Some of the group died at 58, 65, and even past 70 years old or more. That is when I realized life is very short. We are borne, go to school, some even go to college, get married, start a family, find a job, buy a home, have grand children, retire, collect retirement and social security and wait for the Lord to take us home. (NLT) 1 Peter 1:23 For you have been born again. Your new life did not come from your earthly parents because the life they gave you will end in death. But this new life will last forever because it comes from the eternal, living word of God.
(NLT) 2 Peter 3:8 But you must not forget, dear friends, that a day is like a thousand years to the lord, and a thousand years is like a day. As I have mentioned in the past, a day in God’s time is a 1000 years of ours or 1 year of our time equals 86.4 seconds = 1.44 minutes in God’s time. For example: If a man lived to 58 years old, 58yrs. x 1.44min./yr. = 83.52 minutes in God’s time. Now when you think about it, it is not that long. Don’t you agree with me?
Jesus is a very patient Lord, he waits patiently for you to come over to him with his arms opened and you will be with him eternally. Wouldn’t that be wonderful? Amen to that!!!
When time permits, I do hospital ministry for patients that want prayer. I pray for them to give them comfort and remind them that Jesus still loves them. Some of the patients have terminal illness and some are crying and moaning with pain and agony. When I pray for them, some of them have a smile on their faces. Amen!!! Whenever you have an opportunity to visit someone at the hospital, do it and at the same time, you may be able to see some other patients and then you may realize how fortunate you are to have good health.
I know we are born on this planet and one day, in God’s time, we must leave this planet. While we are here, we must pray and have fellowship with the Lord Jesus. It is like a little vacation on this planet and then we go back to him. We cannot hurt others by taking something that doesn’t belong to us. Remember in (NLT) Revelations 20:12, I saw the dead, both great and small, standing before God’s throne. And the books were opened, including the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to the things written in the books, according to what they had done. (NLT) Mark 4:22 Everything that is now hidden or secret will eventually be brought to light. So what this means is: sometimes we can fool our brothers and sister in Christ, but not God. Nothing is free in this world, except maybe airline mileage plus; although, I am sure somebody is paying for it. Now, let’s get back to the words. Okay? I would rather pay for it now than pay for it in the lake of fire later. Don’t you all agree with me? If you agree with me say Amen!!!
May the Lord bless all of you, in Jesus mighty name? Amen!!!

GOD IN THE FLESH By the author named Luke

Luke was a medical doctor and he used his skills in observation and analysis to investigate the stories about Jesus. The purpose for doctor Luke was to present an accurate account of the life of Christ and to present Christ as the perfect human and Savior. (NLT) Col. 4:14 Dear Doctor Luke sends his greeting, and so does Demas, a Greek and Gentile Christian. He is the only known Gentile doctor and author in the New Testament. Luke was a close friend and traveling companion of Paul. He also wrote in the book of Acts, and the two books go together. Doctor Luke explained to us, every child borne is a gift from God; however, nearly 20 centuries ago, there was the miracle of miracles. A baby was born, but he was the Son of God. The Gospels tell of this birth, but Dr. Luke, as though he were the attending physician, provides most of the details surrounding this awesome occasion. With a divine Father and human mother, Jesus entered history - God in the flesh. Luke affirms Jesus’ divinity, but the real emphasis of his book is on Jesus’ humanity. Jesus, the Son of God, is also the Son of Man. His Gospel and book of Acts are reliable, historical documents.
Doctor Luke gives us a brief event of Jesus. (NLT) Luke 2:41-42 every year Jesus’ parents went to Jerusalem for the Passover festival. 42 When Jesus was twelve years old, they attended the festival as usual. Jesus discussed theology with Jewish teachers of the law at the Temple. (NLT) Luke 3:15,16 Everyone was expecting the Messiah to come soon, and they were eager to know whether John might be the Messiah. 16 John answered their questions by saying, “I baptize with*water; but someone is coming soon who is greater than I am- so much greater that I am not even worthy to be his slave. * He will baptize you with Holy Spirit and with fire. (NLT) Luke 3:21-23 One day when the crowds were being baptized, Jesus himself was baptized. As he was praying, the heavens opened, 22 and the Holy Spirit descended on him in the form of a dove. And a voice from heaven said, “You are my beloved Son, and I am fully pleased with you*” 23 Jesus was about thirty years old when he began his public ministry. From Luke 3:23-38 you will find that Luke traces Jesus’ genealogy on his stepfather Joseph’s side, through David and Abraham back to Adam, underscoring Jesus’ identity as the Son of Man.
(NLT) Luke 4:1-13 tells us Satan Tempted Jesus in the wilderness. (NLT) Luke 5:1-9 tells us Jesus Provided a Miraculous Catch of Fish. (NLT) Luke 5:10,11 His partners, James and John, the sons of Zebedee, were also amazed. Jesus replied to Simon, “Don’t be afraid! From now on you’ll be fishing for people! 11 And as soon as they landed, they left everything and followed Jesus. Luke 10:17-20 17 When the seventy-two disciples return, they joyfully reported to him, “Lord, even the demons obey us when we use your name!” 18 “Yes,” he told them, “I saw Satan falling from heaven as a flash of lightning 19 And I have given you authority over all power of the enemy, and you can walk among snakes and scorpions and crush them. Nothing will injure you. 20 But don’t rejoice just because evil spirits obey you; rejoice because your names are registered as citizens of heaven.
Luke described how God’s Son entered human history. Jesus lived as the perfect example of a human. After a perfect ministry, he provided a perfect sacrifice for our sin so we could be saved. Amen to that!!!
There are many good scriptures written by doctor Luke about our Lord Jesus Christ. I encourage every Christian to read and understand it.
I truly believe, we should all thank Dr. Luke for keeping these valuable records, so today we can trace the Son of God (Jesus’) history and we can appreciate much more about our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen!!! Think for a minute, if doctor Luke didn’t keep a good record of our Lord Jesus, today I believe we all would be lost? Don’t you all agree with me? As you can see Jesus entered history- God in the flesh. Amen!!!
Today, I have six questions for you. Are you ready? Sit down, relax and answer these questions. READY GO!!!

WHAT WOULD BE YOUR CALLING FROM GOD?

I truly believe that everyone has a calling from God, we must pray to God and find out what would be our calling. Perhaps, it could be becoming a Greeter, Usher, Deacon, Elder, Associate Pastor, Pastor or Reverend of the church, it doesn’t matter. We all can be in the body of Christ. Every one of us is precious in God’s eyes in the church. We must always pray to God from Psalms 51:1-19, it is a prayer from King David asking God for forgiveness. God looks into a person’s heart, not at the color of their skin. The true God’s temple is within our heart.
Be a good listener, because many times we talk too much and we don’t hear what God is trying to tell us. Sometimes, it may come into your dream while you are at sleep. Remember Joseph, the husband of Mary - mother of Jesus, he had a dream. Matt.1: 20 as he fell asleep, and an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream. “Joseph, son of David,” the angel said, “do not be afraid to go ahead with the marriage to Mary. For the child within her has been conceived by the Holy Spirit.
For me, I spent thousands of hours doing the Lord’s work such as Deliverance, Blessing and writing the “Golden Messages” for the Lord thru the Internet Church Topics and today, I am very happy and honored to do the lord’s work.
In the beginning of my early Christian life, I didn’t anticipate becoming a strong Christian believer; I was just an ordinary member in my church. The Lord had a plan for me; at that time I didn’t know what it was. When I was attending church, I didn’t anticipate God would elevate me up to becoming an Elder, Associate Pastor and Pastor of the church and even for me to enroll into a Bible College. He had a plan for me. Many years ago, I was told by an older Reverend to always listen and be obedient to God (Jehovah), the Lord Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit, so they will guide me throughout my life.
Many times, I had asked the Lord, “Why me, Lord?” they are many people who are far greater and smarter than me on this island, so I waited and waited for an answer and didn’t get any reply. One day, I was called to pray for a home in Hilo, Hawaii. As I was praying, the Lord granted me a vision of the Demonic Spirit, to make my work much easier, and I was surprised to see the Demonic Spirit. I must admit I was a little frightened to see the Demonic spirit with reddish eyeballs and an ugly, angry face. The size of the Demonic Spirit was bigger than me, probably about six feet in height and the weight was approximately 250 pound or more. It stared at me with a vicious look on his face and both of his hands were in strangulation position. Immediately, I bound the Demonic Spirit, in the name of Jesus and applied the precious blood of Jesus upon the Demonic Spirit and sent it to the pits of hell. Amen!!! Sometimes, these spirits may not show themselves and sometime they do, most of the time I would know, if they were present in the area.
Always pray to God that you have given him full permission and control over you and pray that he will use you as one of his vessels. Perhaps with patience and prayer to him, he will show you what will be your calling. This will happen all in God’s time.
Remember these three things: a) Never gossip b) Have love within your heart, because love is long suffering. c) Always pray to God from your heart, not from the corner of your mouth.
 
Many people tell me, they make copies of these Topics for their reference. Amen!!!

Today, I have three questions for you. Are you ready? READY GO!!!
1) Is it true Jehoahaz was twenty years old when he became King, and reigned in Jerusalem for three months? True or False
Ans. 2 King 23:31
2) Is it true Giants were called Anak? True or False
Ans. Num. 13:33
3) Is it true, God promised to bless Job and make his descendants into a great nation? True Or False
Ans. Gen. 12: 2

GOD’S STANDARDS ARE MUCH HIGHER THAN OUR STANDARDS

Yes, God’s standards are much higher than our standards, because God doesn’t have any blemish or even one black spot; he is totally pure and perfect. In our standards, it may seem like it’s all right or okay, but in God’s standards, it is not acceptable, because in God’s standard, even one small tiny, tiny sin is sinful. Like I have mentioned, he is totally pure and perfect. We as human beings cannot accomplish being pure and perfect in this world like God. No matter how hard we try. The only way, we can do it is to pray to his Son Jesus Christ. (NLT) John 14:6 Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.” Now pray from your heart, meaning one to one with the Lord Jesus and have relationship and fellowship with him. I believe the joy of the Lord will enter into your heart and tears of joy may start to flow from your eyes. There will be no time limit. It could be 15 minutes, 30 minutes, one hour even or more. For example, I am sure we all have experienced when we have lots of fun, or something is very interesting, the time sure goes by fast. Don’t you agree with me? This is the same scenario. Are you with me so far? Amen!!!
Pray from your heart and ask Jesus to forgive you. Forgiveness is your answer. Ask the Lord to apply his precious blood upon you. Then you can become clean and pure for the moment or more, until such time as, you and your inner spirit comes back to this world again.
For me, I am not claiming that I am perfect. NO! I am not perfect, I am the same like everyone else. No exception! Everyday, I have been praying on forgiveness by praying on (NLT) Psalm 51:1-19, it is a prayer from King David, asking God for forgiveness.
Whenever I write these topics for the Lord, the time goes by very fast. For example, let’s say I started to write this topic at 3:00 AM this morning, after writing part of this topic, I looked at my clock and it was 6: 33 AM. I know this topic will take me between 5 and 6 hours to complete. Praying and researching, it takes time. Many times, I feel like going to sleep or do something else, rather than writing these topics. But whenever I receive people’s emails, saying that when they have read my Internet Church Topics, they begin to understand the bible much more. Some have even said, they have gotten saved and feel much better and much lighter within their body. Praise the Lord. All Praises and Glories go to our Father God. Amen!!! Some said their outlook of their lives has been changed. With that in mind, it has encouraged me to continue to write more. I told the Lord, my time was well spent. Amen to that!!!
Now let’s get back to the words, we as a human being have a lot of sins. (NLT) Psalms 51:5 For I was born a sinner-yes, from the moment my mother conceived me. For example, let say a thief stole something from another person, whether big or small, in the eyes of God that thief has committed a sin. In the human world, if the law caught that thief, he or she may end up in jail or prison for a period of time, depending how serious the crime he or she had committed. In our world, the thief may serve one, two or more years in jail or prison; however, with God, it could be eternally in the Lake of Fire. Are you with me so far? Amen!!! Does it make sense to you? (Hawaii’s local style of saying) No touch, no belong! Meaning, do not touch, that doesn’t belong to you. In God’s eyes, he or she may not be able to enter into heaven; also he or she may not be able to have their names recorded in the book of life. (NLT) Revelation 20:12 I saw the dead, both great and small, standing before God’s throne. And the books were opened, including the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to the things written in the books, according to what they had done. So as you can see, unless he or she confessed all of his or her sins to God and asks him for mercy, it will be very difficult for the thief to accomplish the goal to enter into heaven. (NLT) Revelation 21:8 But cowards who turn away from me, and unbelievers, and the corrupt, and murderers, and the immoral, and those who practice witchcraft, and idol worshipers, and all liars- their doom is in the lake of fire that burns with fire and sulfur. This is the second death.
Brothers and Sisters in Christ, I am sure no one would like to be there. For me, I don’t mind being in a hot tub to relax my body, but not in the lake of fire. I truly believe it is very uncomfortable and painful to be there. There will be no one or angels to help you, and the demons will continue to torment you eternally. “No break time!” (NLT) Luke 13:5 No, and I tell you again that unless you repent, you will perish, too. So brothers and sisters in Christ, we must always ask God to forgive us and repent for all of our sins and ask God to have mercy upon us. When God forgives you, I truly believe he will forget and look at the good side of you. Why? He is a loving and forgiven God. Praise the Lord!
My good friends, Carl Okuyama and his wife Amy in Hilo, Hawaii have the love of God so much within their hearts and they dedicate themselves to the children of Hawaii. They truly believe everything starts at home. When you think about it, it is very true. For brother Carl and sister Amy, I truly believe God would use them very much. I believe they have a big mission for God. Their mission is called, “IT STARTS AT HOME” Praise the Lord!!!

DISSENSION

In the dictionary, dissension is defined as disagreement or quarreling. Satan and his followers are working very hard to cause dissension at homes, churches, and even our work places. We must not fall into the hands of Satan’s plot; he will use you to the maximum by causing dissension in homes, churches and etc., until such time as he has no use of you, then destruction may come upon you or your family. At that time, we cannot blame anyone, but ourselves. So why do we give Satan the chance? Remember, he was defeated at the time of the cross, when Jesus said, “IT IS FINISHED!”
We as Ministers, Pastors or Reverends, must help those who are weaker in faith by guiding and leading them to the Lord Jesus Christ. For example, let say a child fell right before you, instantly we would normally help the child to his or her feet and if there is any dirt or rubbish on their clothes, we would try to dust it off. Am I right? Now, let’s get back to the words. Let us all say Amen to that! I truly believe the Lord will bless the Ministers, Pastors and Reverends for helping and saving the lost souls. I know it is very difficult to do; however, with the Lord’s blessing, we can do it. “WITH GOD, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE”. In other words, we can do the possible and he can do the impossible. Do you agree with me, that he is an awesome God? Don’t you all agree with me? If you agree with me, say Amen!!! The Angels will sing and Heaven will rejoice!!!
We must pray to our Lord Jesus Christ and have fellowship with him. Ask him for his blessing and protection on all of us. We all have a body- each looks different; each has different strengths and weaknesses, but as physical, earthly bodies, they are all alike. All believers are promised life after death and a body like Christ’s, a resurrected body. (NLT) 1 Cor. 15:48-49 48 Every human being has an earthly body just like Adam’s, (I called it our space suit) but our heavenly bodies will be just like Christ’s. 49 Just as we are now like Adam, the man of the earth, so we will someday be like Christ, the man from heaven. Don’t you think that is wonderful? There will be no more tears in our eyes nor any sickness, but laughter, smiling and fullness of joy. Amen!!! (So be it)
Once again, we must not fall into the hands of our enemy, (Satan). It is much better to fall into the hands of our Lord Jesus Christ and trust him. Are you with me so far? Amen!!!
So Pastors, Ministers and Reverends, our accountability with God is so great, we cannot afford to be caught in Satan’s plot. The consequence are so great, it could be very rewarding or punishment to the maximum. (NLT) Matt. 25:41 Then the King will turn to those on the left and say, ‘away with you, you cursed ones, into the eternal fire prepared for the Devil and his demons! I know no one is perfect in this world, except the Lord Jesus Christ, so we must always ask God for forgiveness. For example, let say we offend someone with the intent to hurt that person, it is much better to tell that person, I am very sorry, please forgive me, than having a sin upon you.
As men and women of God, the accountability will be much greater than for the members of the church. Why? In God’s eyes we are the leaders of our flocks, so the responsibility will be ours. Do you agree with me? For example, let’s say a police officer committed a crime and he got caught and he faced the judge at the court, I believe the judge would say to the police officer, you should know much better than a criminal, because you are representing and upholding the law. You should know what is right or wrong. Like the old saying, the judge may throw the book at him. I am sure you have heard those phases. Are you with me so far? So the bottom line is do not cause any dissension or offend anyone in your home, church or your work place. We are all children of God and if we hurt someone, it is like hurting your brothers and sisters in Christ. We as parents or grandparents, must help our younger children, so when they grow up in this world, they will be able see what is right and wrong, such as avoiding taking drugs or doing sinful things. Like my good friend, brother Carl has always strongly believed and said, “EVERYTHING STARTS AT HOME!!!” If you agree with me, say Amen!!! May the Lord Jesus bless Carl and his family and all of us. Have a joyful and wonderful day. Remember, “The joy of the Lord is our strength in our life.” I pray these messages are very informative to you.

I CHOSE PROVERBS

I chose Proverbs, because it applies to many of our daily lives. The word proverb comes from the Hebrew word that means, “to rule or govern.” Solomon was a son to King David, Kings of Israel. Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived, left us a legacy of written wisdom in three volumes: Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Songs. In these books, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, he gives practical insights and guidelines for life. I encourage all Christians to read Proverbs and understand that knowing God is the key to wisdom. Read and understand the thoughts and lessons from the world’s wisest man, so you will be able to apply these truths to your life. Amen!!! When we choose God’s way, he will grant us wisdom and knowledge, so we can live in a Godly way and make the correct decisions for ourselves.
(NLT) Prov. 1: 7 Fear of the Lord is the knowledge; only fools despise wisdom and discipline. In other words, when you fear God, that will be your salvation and if you don’t fear God that will be your damnation. Surely brothers and sisters in Christ, we don’t want damnation. Don’t you agree with me? If you agree with me say, Amen!!!
(NLT) Prov. 2:20,21,22 Follow the steps of good men instead, and stay on the paths of the righteous. 21 For only the upright will live in the land, and those who have integrity will remain in it. 22 But the wicked will be removed from the land, and the treacherous will be destroyed.
Do not co-sign a loan. (NLT) Prov. 6:1-5 1 1 My child,* if you have put up security for a friend's debt
or agreed to guarantee the debt of a stranger—
2 if you have trapped yourself by your agreement
and are caught by what you said—
3 follow my advice and save yourself,
for you have placed yourself at your friend's mercy.
Now swallow your pride;
go and beg to have your name erased.
4 Don't put it off; do it now!
Don't rest until you do.
5 Save yourself like a gazelle escaping from a hunter,
like a bird fleeing from a net.

THINGS GOD HATES:
Remember, in the Internet Church Topics I have written the topic called “We should always be grateful to God”. The numbers of 3, 7 and 12, I called them the biblical numbers; although, it is my own belief. These numbers mean something, don’t you all agree with me? Now, let us get back to the word. Amen!!!
There are six things the Lord hates; no, seven things he detests:
(NLT) Prov. 6:17,18,19
17 haughty eyes,
a lying tongue,
hands that kill the innocent,
18 a heart that plots evil,
feet that race to do wrong,
19 a false witness who pours out lies,
a person who sows discord among brothers.
As I mentioned earlier, read in Proverbs, there are many good guidelines for all of us to follow in our daily lives. There are many good scriptures written in the bible; however, Proverbs really tells us how to become good Christians, in a Godly way. Amen!!!

I pray that these messages are very informative to you.

DEMONIC SPIRITS

For many years, I have gone to many homes and places, when people call me. Some say they have seen their loved ones, sitting on the couch or walking in the house. I believe them. Usually, some of the young children or certain people may be able to see the spiritual realm, because they are innocent within their hearts or they have a special gift from God. It is a gift of vision.
Most of the time, it happens in the early evening or late at night and sometimes in the early morning. As I recollect, many years ago I had one incident early in the morning at about 3:10 AM. I had received a phone call and answered my phone with one eye open and the other eye hardly open and she tried to explain to me about the demonic spirit within a person in her family. So I washed my face, in order to be wide-awake and changed my clothes and drove to my destination. Before I reached my destination, I made a short prayer and asked God to put the “Whole Armor of God “ upon me. As I reached my destination, I was invited to enter the home. It was an elderly oriental man in his bedroom and he looked at me for a few minutes with half of his door closed. I approached the man and as I got near to him; he tried to close the door, so I instantly put my foot between the door and the door jam, so he couldn’t close the door on me.
With an unusually loud, low voice he told me to GO AWAY, before I get my walking stick and crack your head! I told the demonic spirit to go for it! In the mean time, the family told me that was not his voice. He looked at me with glassy eyes for a minute or so. He finally put his walking stick down. The next thing he mentioned to me with a low voice was to take his watch and go. I told the demonic spirit, I have a watch. I want you to get out of him and this house in “JESUS MIGHTY NAME!” Instantly, the man came to his senses and asked why is everyone here? Apparently, he had no recollection of what had happened to him. We had coffee and some toast, while having a small conversation with him. I checked my wristwatch, it was about 6:33 AM and I left the home.
As I have mentioned many times, the demonic spirits are master deceivers, they come to deceive, destroy and to kill you or destroy your family. We as Christians must believe in our Lord Jesus Christ with all our heart; without it, I know I couldn’t have defeated that demonic spirit.
Does it make sense to you? Of course it does! Now, let’s get back to the word. Amen!!!
(NLT) In Eccl. 9:5-8, 5 The living at least know they will die, but the dead know nothing. They have no further reward, nor are remembered. 6 Whatever they did in their lifetime-loving, hating, envying-is all long gone. They no longer have a part in anything here on earth. 7 So go ahead. Eat your food and drink your wine with a happy heart, for God approves of this! 8 Wear fine clothes, with a dash of cologne!
So brothers and sisters in Christ, what this means is the DEAD are DEAD. Do all of you agree with me? If you agree with me say Amen!!! Now as I have mentioned, the demonic spirits are master deceivers, they can transform into whatever they want to, in order to deceive you and your family. Sometimes, I am able to see many of these demonic spirits; they come in a very light gray or an off white like color.
God is for the living, not for the dead. Amen!!! In other words, while we are living on this earth, we must always worship, praise and glorify God, the Lord Jesus Christ and the Power of the Holy Spirit. Why? These three are one! Are you with me so far? If you are! Say Amen!!!
