We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

The problem with conservative churches is not that they lack members. The problem is that many of those members are not converted. Millions of members of evangelical churches are absent from worship services each Sunday and are equally absent from Christian living during the rest of the week. Biblical illiteracy and unethical conduct by Christians seem to be on the rise. Many people who attend are indifferent to the truths of Christianity, and others are divisive, even mean-spirited.
Paul House

Too many of us [preachers] are earthly that seem to be heavenly, and mind the things below, while they preach the things above, and idolize the world while they call men to condemn it.
Richard Baxter

    The Devil Notes “THE DEVIL” Notes by Dave Perkins

    2 CORIN. 2:10-11 SATAN COMES AGAINST YOU WHEN YOU HAVE UNFORGIVENESS. JOHN 10:10 DEVIL STEALS FROM GOD. WE ARE GOD’S PROPERTY WHICH IS WHAT THE DEVIL WANTS. ISAIAH 14:12-17 EARLY BEGINNING OF satan. EVIL EXISTED BEFORE THE WORLD WAS CREATED. satan SAID THAT HE WOULD (REBELLION) RAISE ABOVE GOD. EZEKIEL 28:12-19 REFERENCE TO satan. V.13 – DESCRIBES him AS BEAUTIFUL. HAS BEEN AROUND FOR 6000 YEARS. His BEAUTY AND ABILITY TO CONTROL WENT TO his HEAD. EPHESIANS 6:10-13 THE devil IS LOCATED IN HEAVENLY PLACES. his THRONE IS IN HEAVENLY PLACES. satan ORGANIZED EVIL. EVIL SPIRITS CAN DO ONLY WHAT satan SAYS, THEY CANNOT MAKE THEIR OWN DECISIONS. JOHN 3:16-21 satan LOVES DARKNESS. 2 CORIN.4:3-4 satan IS SAID TO BE THE god OF THIS WORLD. HE LOOKS AT US AS A TRESPASSER. WE ARE NOT OF THIS WORLD. WE ARE ON ENEMY TERRITORY, SINCE ADAM GAVE UP EARTH TO satan. 1 PETER 5:5-9 GOD WILL ALLOW THE devil TO ATTACK YOU. IT IS FOR YOU TO LEARN AND BE TRAINED. satan GOES AROUND LIKE A ROARING LION, BUT IS NOT REALLY ONE.

    NOTE: AS PERTAINS TO CASTING OUT OF DEMONS, DO NOT CHASE THEM. PEOPLE BEGGED AND PLEADED WITH JESUS TO CAST OUT EVIL SPIRITS. DO SO ONLY WHEN PEOPLE ASK YOU AND GOD MOVES YOU.

    EPHESIANS 2:1-2 2 CORIN. 10:3-5 TAKE EVERYTHING TO CHRIST. NO NEED TO YELL OR SCREAM AT DEMONS, HUMILITY IS WHAT JESUS USED. THE devil HAS FORTRESSES FULL OF CAPTIVES. CAN BE SET FREE BY JESUS. GOD’S AUTHORITY ADMINISTERED THROUGH PRAYER.

    NOTE: THE devil CAPTURES YOU IN YOUR MIND (PART OF YOUR SOUL). THIS

    IS CALLED LASCIVIOUSNESS.

    NOTE: THEIR IS A PARTICULAR PATTERN TO EVIL, IT CAN BE SEEN. THE

    devil IS PREDICTABLE. 1 CORIN.2:16 WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST AND ALSO THE CARNAL MIND OF THE WORLD. THUS WE HAVE A BATTLEGROUND. WE HAVE A CHOICE. ROMANS 12:1-8 TRANSFORMED BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND. DON’T THINK TOO MUCH OF YOURSELF, HUMILITY IS A MUST. YOU CAN’T THINK YOU HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS. DON’T COMPARE YOURSELF WITH ONE ANOTHER. YOU MUST COMPARE TO HAVE PRIDE. EPHESIANS 4:17-32 CHRISTIANITY IS A RELATIONSHIP (PERSONAL) WITH JESUS CHRIST. JAMES 4:1-7 V.1 – TALKS OF SELF. V.7 – RESIST THE DEVIL (HOLD ON TO THE TRUTH), AND HE WILL FLEE FROM YOU.
