Sneaky Mediums

20 Listen to advice and accept discipline, and at the end you will be counted among the wise. 21 Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails. (‭Proverbs‬ ‭19‬:‭20‬ NIV) 

Loren to advice. Now remember - this doesn't men any advice. With any advice you are given, make sure you check it up with God's Word to see if it is correct. Satan also gives advice. He works through mediums you may not think would be harmless.  He may come through friends, your teacher, or even a cousin of relative! They might give you a sweet or a biscuit, advise a video game or something else. Once you receive it, the process begins. Satan now looks for ways to initiate you. He now has power over you because you have taken that 'gift'. How can you prevent this? Whenever you receive gifts from strangers or people who are not in your family, say no. If a church member or relative gives you something, pray for it before you use it, play it or eat it. Pray for everything you are given!

This means that we have to show our confidence and belief in Christ, before He comes into our hearts. He knows when we want to trick Him or not. So don't bother being cunning! Because wisdom comes from the Lord! So, if our human efforts cannot make faith to work, what can? (Zechariah 4:6) Our confidence and belief in Jesus! We just have to say, "Jesus, take care of this for me. I don't want to any more. I can't do it by my own power." Acknowledging that you can't do it alone, gives you the first step forward. Then comes the hard bit. When I mean hard, I mean HARD. Because most people people fall away aft...

Black = Normal post Bold = Question  "Call unto Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know." - Jeremiah 33:3.  Many people either don't believe in God, or become atheists, partly because of this question: Why doesn't God answer some of my prayers?  Answer: This is because of your heart.

Ask yourself these questions and their surely will be an answer.  But why must I ask myself these questions?  " So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart" - 2 Timothy 2:22    If we are not thinking good thoughts or have sinned by mistake or not, we have sta...
