I am still in tears after reading Valeries testimony. That is really awesome and I am so glad to hear she has been set free.
I believe I promised my own testimony, and I let school and family issues crowd out what I should have already done. I find myself wondering if college online is a way to keep me so busy I put God last, and if it is the case, it will stop and i can achieve what God wants me to do His way, not mine.
I come from a broken home, and raised by my grandparents who were very loving people. My life changed, for the worse when my Mom married and brought me to Texas to live with her and her husband. At the age of 12, I was molested by him, in the sleeper of his truck when Mom went into town in the pickup. This behavior continue several years as he would use threats against my Mom etc to get me to do what he wanted. Needless to say, that shot out any dreams I had at such a young age of serving God.
I am so glad He did not give up on me and sent ways of letting me know to hang on. For years I listened to Jimmy Swaggart, Kenneth Copeland etc, and went to church. Little did I know that what I was going through was also a doorway to let the demons enter, the spirits of depression, and who knows what else I had to deal with. I am glad I never turned to alcohol due to seeing what it did in my family.
I felt ugly, used, like a piece of trash to just throw away when they were finished wsith you. I married twice, the first ending in divorce after the birth of my oldest daughter, and the 2nd passed away after 15 years. I still held on to going to church to try and stay close to God, I knew he was there although I never learned the truth a that time ofa personal relationship we could have with him. After my 2nd marriage I started learned when I went to a nondenominational church for several years and really got hungry for the Word. Even then I had the demons still, and just did not know it. I do know I would try to hurt myself when I was depressed, if I had the fake nails on, I would literally scratch my face with them, or my arms.
God led me to friends who would help through those times, and eventhough they fought demons, they never seemed to pick up that may be my problem. The Lord finally sent me to another awesome church where they are anointed in this area of deliverence. After watching the movie the Passion, (it was time) twice in one week, they started manifesting at home ministry. Our group leader said he was shocked when they were praying for me and I growled, I woke up on the floor not knowing what happened until they told me. This went on for several more fridays, and on saturday I would be so wore out I would sleep all day.
One friend said she had enough and started praying, it seems a person who kept walking being me praying got one of the demons irritated, they said I foamed on that occasion. I finally went to a deliverence weekend after reading ‘Shadow Boxing.” It shows the doors that satan uses to worm his way in when we do not expect it. As I write this, I want to remain calm so I can write clear, and I am so glad to hear about Valeries deliverence. God is good and He loves us so much.
I don’t want to write a book and will write my other expriences later, I am just crying so hard and still trying to keep cool, which is hard to do.
God be with every one and I hope this helps someone else. Valerie stated how her experiences had her seeking out others, me, I turned inward and hated being touched by anyone, so being married that was somethinhg to be overcome in time.
In His Name.

Then Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, left the Jordan River. He was led by the Spirit to go out into the wilderness, 2 where the Devil tempted him for forty days. He ate nothing all that time and was very hungry. 3 Then the Devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, change this stone into a loaf of bread.” 4 But Jesus told him, “No! The Scriptures say, ‘People need more than bread for their life.”
5 Then the Devil took him up and revealed to him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. 6 The Devil told him, “I will give you the glory of these kingdoms and authority over them – because they are mine to give to anyone I please. 7 I will give it all to you if you will bow down and worship me.”
8 Jesus replied, “The Scriptures say, ‘You must worship the Lord your God; serve only him. ” 9 Then the Devil took him to Jerusalem, to the highest point of the Temple, and said, “If you are the Son of God, jump off! 10 For the Scriptures say, ‘He orders his angels to protect and guard you.
11 And they will hold you with their hands to keep you from striking your foot on a stone.” 12 Jesus responded, “The Scriptures also say, ‘Do not test the Lord your God.” 13 When the Devil had finished tempting Jesus, he left him until the next opportunity came.
14 Then Jesus returned to Galilee, filled with the Holy Spirit’s power. Soon he became well known throughout the surrounding country. 15 He taught in their synagogues and was praised by everyone. 16 When he came to the village of Nazareth, his boyhood home, he went as usual to the synagogue on the Sabbath and stood up to read the Scriptures.
17 The scroll containing the messages of Isaiah the prophet was handed to him, and he unrolled the scroll to the place where it says: 18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, for he has appointed me to preach Good News to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim that captives will be released, that the blind will see, that the downtrodden will be freed from their oppressors, 19 and that the time of the Lord’s favor has come.”
20 He rolled up the scroll, handed it back to the attendant, and sat down. Everyone in the synagogue stared at him intently. 21 Then he said, “This Scripture has come true today before your very eyes!”
22 All who were there spoke well of him and were amazed by the gracious words that fell from his lips. “How can this be?” they asked. “Isn’t this Joseph’s son?” 23 Then he said, “Probably you will quote me that proverb, ‘Physician, heal yourself’ – meaning, ‘Why don’t you do miracles here in your hometown like those you did in Capernaum?’
24 But the truth is, no prophet is accepted in his own hometown. 25 “Certainly there were many widows in Israel who needed help in Elijah’s time, when there was no rain for three and a half years and hunger stalked the land.
26 Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them. He was sent instead to a widow of Zarephath – a foreigner in the land of Sidon. 27 Or think of the prophet Elisha, who healed Naaman, a Syrian, rather than the many lepers in Israel who needed help.” 28 When they heard this, the people in the synagogue were furious. 29 Jumping up, they mobbed him and took him to the edge of the hill on which the city was built. They intended to push him over the cliff, 30 but he slipped away through the crowd and left them.
31 Then Jesus went to Capernaum, a town in Galilee, and taught there in the synagogue every Sabbath day. 32 There, too, the people were amazed at the things he said, because he spoke with authority. 33 Once when he was in the synagogue, a man possessed by a demon began shouting at Jesus,
34 “Go away! Why are you bothering us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are – the Holy One sent from God.” 35 Jesus cut him short. “Be silent!” he told the demon. “Come out of the man!” The demon threw the man to the floor as the crowd watched; then it left him without hurting him further. 36 Amazed, the people exclaimed, “What authority and power this man’s words possess! Even evil spirits obey him and flee at his command!”
37 The story of what he had done spread like wildfire throughout the whole region. 38 After leaving the synagogue that day, Jesus went to Simon’s home, where he found Simon’s mother-in-law very sick with a high fever. “Please heal her,” everyone begged. 39 Standing at her bedside, he spoke to the fever, rebuking it, and immediately her temperature returned to normal. She got up at once and prepared a meal for them.
40 As the sun went down that evening, people throughout the village brought sick family members to Jesus. No matter what their diseases were, the touch of his hand healed every one. 41 Some were possessed by demons; and the demons came out at his command, shouting, “You are the Son of God.” But because they knew he was the Messiah, he stopped them and told them to be silent.
42 Early the next morning Jesus went out into the wilderness. The crowds searched everywhere for him, and when they finally found him, they begged him not to leave them. 43 But he replied, “I must preach the Good News of the Kingdom of God in other places, too, because that is why I was sent.” 44 So he continued to travel around, preaching in synagogues throughout Judea.
Be Blessed!

“For Satan himself transforms himself into an ANGEL OF LIGHT. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.” (2 Corinthians 11:14)
“Beloved, do not believe every spirit, BUT TEST THE SPIRITS, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.” (1 John 4:1-4)
“Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.” (Matthew 10:16)
“Go your way; behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves.” (Luke 10:3)
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.” (1 Peter 5:8)
“Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the mutilation!” (Philippians 3:2)
“Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of God.” (2 Corinthians 6:14)
“For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of the light … And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret. But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light.” (Ephesians 5:8)
“The righteous should chose his friends carefully, for the way of the wicked leads them astray.” (Proverbs 12:26)
“Do not be carried about with various and strange doctrines.” (Hebrews 13:9)
“If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor greet him; for he who greets him shares in his evil deeds.” (2 John 1:10)
“Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons.” (1 Timothy 4:1)
“For false christs and false prophets will arise and show great signs and wonders, so as to deceive, if possible, even the elect.” (Matthew 24:24)
“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits.” (Matthew 7:15)
“Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.” (Colossians 2:8)
“Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore do not be partakers with them.” (Ephesians 5:6)

5.DREAMS AND VISIONS
GOD WILL GIVE PEOPLE VISIONS AND DREAMS SO THAT (TO KEEP BACK HIS SOUL FROM THE PIT JOB CHAPTER 33: VERSES 14-24)
GOD GIVES EVERYONE THE OPPORTUNITY TO UNDERSTAND THE ROAD THEY ARE ON AND WE ARE ALL WARNED ABOUT HELL.
WE WILL ALL STAND BEFORE GOD ONE DAY AND THE ONES WHO DO NOT ACCEPT THIS FREE GIFT OF SALVATION THROUGH JESUS CHRIST WILL BE GOING THERE AND THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO STAND IN FRONT OF GOD AND SAY: BUT YOU NEVER WARNED ME!
THE NEW TESTAMENT REFERS TO OVER TWO HUNDRED AND SIXTY FOUR WARNINGS ABOUT HELL AND JUDGMENT THAT IS COMING!
LET’S LOOK AT SOME VERSES:
BUT YOU HAVE PROSTITUTED YOURSELF WITH MANY LOVERS, SAYS THE LORD. YET I AM STILL CALLING YOU TO COME BACK TO ME. JEREMIAH 3:1 NLT
COME BACK TO ME, AND I WILL HEAL YOUR WAYWARD HEARTS. JEREMIAH 3:22 NLT
“RUN UP AND DOWN EVERY STREET” SAYS THE LORD. “LOOK HIGH AN LOW, SEARCH THROUGHOUT THE CITY! IF YOU CAN FIND EVEN ONE PERSON WHO IS JUST AND HONEST, I WILL NOT DESTROY THE CITY” (CAN YOU SEE THE LORDS HEART?? HE DESPERATELY DOES NOT WANT TO ADMINISTER PUNISHMENT, BUT MERCY! JEREMIAH 5:1 NLT
I SPOKE TO YOU ABOUT IT REPEATEDLY, BUT YOU WOULD NOT LISTEN! I CALLED OUT TO YOU, BUT YOU REFUSED TO ANSWER!!! JEREMIAH 7:13 NLT
WHEN PEOPLE FALL DOWN, DON’T THEY GET BACK UP AGAIN? WHEN THEY DISCOVER THEY ARE ON THE WRONG ROAD….DON’T THEY TURN BACK? THEN WHY DO THESE PEOPLE STAY ON THEIR SELF-DESTRUCTIVE PATHS? WHY DO THE PEOPLE….REFUSE TO TURN BACK…EVEN THOUGH I HAVE WARNED THEM? JEREMIAH 8: 4-5 NLT
PERHAPS THEY WILL LISTEN AND TURN FROM THEIR EVIL WAYS…THEN I WILL CHANGE MY MIND ABOUT THE DISASTER I AM READY TO POUR OUT ON THEM BECAUSE OF THEIR SINS. JEREMIAH 26:3 NLT
IF YOU WILL NOT LISTEN TO ME AND OBEY MY WORD I HAVE GIVEN YOU. AND IF YOU WILL NOT LISTEN TO MY SERVANTS….THE PROPHETS- FOR I SENT THEM AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN TO WARN YOU, BUT YOU WOULD NOT LISTEN TO THEM—THEN I WILL DESTROY THIS TEMPLE. JEREMIAH 26-4-6 NLT
FOR THEY WOULD NOT LISTEN TO MY WARNINGS. JEREMIAH 36:31 NLT
AGAIN AND AGAIN I SENT MY SERVANTS, THE PROPHETS, TO PLEAD WITH THEM. “DON’T DO THESE HORRIBLE THINGS THAT I HATE SO MUCH” BUT MY PEOPLE WOULD NOT LISTEN OR TURN BACK FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS. JEREMIAH 44: 4-5 NLT
FOR HE DOES NOT ENJOY HURTING PEOPLE OR CAUSING THEM SORROW. THE LORD HAS NO PLEASURE IN ALLOWING PUNISHMENT. HE DOES NOT AFFLICT FROM HIS HEART. HE DOESN’T WANT TO , BUT HE IS PERFECTLY JUST. THE LORD OVER AND OVER PLEADS FOR PEOPLE TO SIMPLY TURN BACK TO HIM FOR HE DELIGHTS IN SHOWING MERCY. LAMENTATIONS 3: 33 NLT
YOU MUST GIVE THEM MY MESSAGES WHETHER THEY LISTEN OR NOT. GOD ALWAYS WARNS BECAUSE HE IS PERFECTLY FAIR AND JUST. GOD ALWAYS WARNS BECAUSE HE IS PERFECTLY FAIR AND JUST. IT IS OUR CHOICE WHETHER WE LISTEN. EZEKIEL 2:7 NLT
DON’T YOU REALIZE HOW KIND, TOLERANT AND PATIENT GOD IS WITH YOU?? OR DON’T YOU CARE?? CAN’T YOU SEE HOW KIND HE HAS BEEN IN GIVING YOU TIME TO TURN FROM YOUR SINS? BUT NO, YOU WON’T LISTEN. SO YOU ARE STORING UP TERRIBLE PUNISHMENT FOR YOURSELF BECAUSE OF YOUR STUBBORNNESS IN REFUSING TO TURN FROM YOUR SIN. ROMANS 2: 4-5 NLT
IT IS THE DESIRE OF PEOPLE HOLDING ON TO THEIR SINS THAT ENDS UP SENDING THEM TO HELL…NOT REPENTING AND TURNING TO GOD FOR HELP…
ALL OF US NEED GOD BECAUSE APART FROM HIM WE CAN DO NOTHING!

What About The Devil?
August 25, 2008 by Tina

What about the devil? This is what the bible says
The seed that fell on the hard path represents those who hear the message, but then the Devil comes and steals it away and prevents them from believing and being saved.
The seed is the Word of God!
Joh 8:44 For you are the children of your father the Devil, and you love to do the evil things he does. He was a murderer from the beginning and has always hated the truth. There is no truth in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father of lies.
He lies to you…keeping you from the truth! Keeping you in bondage!
Ac 10:38 And no doubt you know that God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. Then Jesus went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the Devil, for God was with him.
Ac 13:10 “You son of the Devil, full of every sort of trickery and villainy, enemy of all that is good, will you never stop perverting the true ways of the Lord?
2Sa 22:3 my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the strength of my salvation, and my stronghold, my high tower, my savior, the one who saves me from violence.
2Sa 22:31 “As for God, his way is perfect. All the LORD’s promises prove true. He is a shield for all who look to him for protection.
Ps 2:12 Submit to God’s royal son, or he will become angry, and you will be destroyed in the midst of your pursuits – for his anger can flare up in an instant. But what joy for all who find protection in him!
Ps 18:2 The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the strength of my salvation, and my stronghold
.Ps 31:4 Pull me from the trap my enemies set for me, for I find protection in you alone.
You are in a trap but you can be pulled out by Jesus! Surrender yourself to God and put your trust in the one who holds the keys to death! He died on that cross for your sins and the sins of the world. Without Him we would not be able to come to God. He wants to save you from the pit of Hell. Do not turn away from your only Hope!
Ps 31:19 Your goodness is so great! You have stored up great blessings for those who honor you. You have done so much for those who come to you for protection, blessing them before the watching world.
The Devil has NO POWER to those who belong to Christ Jesus! We have authority over the Devil! Why? Because we have Christ living IN and THROUGH US!
