I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

"RECOGNIZE THE REAL ENEMY" BY ANDREW WOMMACK
Jesus was not implying that Peter and Satan were one-and-the-same, but was referring to the fact that Satan had inspired Peter's statement. This type of metaphor was used elsewhere in scripture such as when God spoke to the serpent in the garden of Eden (Gen. 3:15) as though addressing Satan. The serpent was merely the vehicle of communication Satan used to tempt Adam and Eve, while Peter was the vehicle Satan used to tempt Jesus. Ephesians 6:12 reveals that our warfare isn't with people, but against the spiritual powers who inspire and use people. Jesus recognized that Peter's reaction to His prophecy about His death was motivated by His enemy, Satan, so He went right to the source.
Every Christian is at war. There is a perpetual struggle against Satan and his kingdom from which there are no "leaves" or "discharges." Our enemy goes about as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour (1 Pet. 5:8). Those who resist the devil will see him flee (Jas. 4:7).
Some of us believe that anger will put others in their place. But "the wrath of man does not work the righteousness of God" (Jas. 1:20). Anger against people makes us play right into the hand of the devil. The way to overcome the spiritual powers that come against us through people is to turn the other cheek (Mt. 5:39). This makes the demons flee in terror. We cannot win a spiritual battle with carnal weapons. We must realize who the real enemy is and fight with the spiritual weapons the Lord has given us. It is supposed by many that the higher echelons of the devil's spiritual authority take more power to rebuke or remove. That's not true. There is no demonic power, including the devil himself, that will not flee at the name of Jesus when faith is put in that name. What a wonderful name!
WE ALL WENT THROUGH THOSE YOUNGER DAYS OF SINNING. I WAS FORTUNATE TO FIND BILLY GRAHAM AT AN EARLY AGE AND GOD SAVED. I PREACHED IN A LITTLE BAPTIST CHURCH IN A LITTLE TOWN CALLED WHITWELL, TENN., AS A LAY MINISTER. WHEN I WAS TRANSFERRED TO D.C. I GOT AWAY FROM GOD FOR A WHILE. I, LIKE YOU, FOUND ANDREW WOMMACK AND HE BROUGHT ME BACK AND I HAVEN'T EVER LEFT. I HAVE LEARNED A LOT FROM HIM. WHEN I RETIRED AND COULDN'T SHARE JESUS WITH PEOPLE, I STARTED MY MINISTRY ON FACEBOOK AND HAVE BEEN DOING THAT FOR ABOUT SIX YEARS, WRITING A MINI SERMON EVERY DAY. THAT REALLY KEEPS ME IN GOD'S WORD. I POST ANDREW'S MORNING DEVOTIONAL EVERY DAY ALSO AFTER GETTING PERMISSION FROM HIS MINISTRY TO DO IT AND FROM KEN WITH INDIE GOSPEL. THEY HAVE BEEN VERY HELPFUL AND I APPRECIATE IT SO MUCH.
THANKS FOR YOUR COMMENTS AND HELP. LIKE I SAID BEFORE, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
YOUR FRIEND IN CHRIST JESUS,
DAVID
Way back when I was MUCH younger and going through the youth love game and not understanding why love was tainted yet I thought it was good, "And it takes two", I used to watch preachers on the television preaching the gospel. And later on in about 2012 I started listening to ANDREW WOMMACK. I admired his preaching.
As for what you wrote David this is absolutely true. Christ was obedient. He did not use the words of vanity or the words of slander and evil. He used and referred to God's Written Words and backed it up by example.
That is right Christ is/was saying that Peter's faith in fear came from the enemy. God did not give us a spirit of fear. Christ proved it! In fact God said that he will vomit out the weak, the ones that are neither hot or cold.
So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. Revelation 3:16
And in essence everything the lord wrote for the most part as far as revealed to us shows us that even the evil ones have or have had access to it. Even the fallen angels, and Satan knows the scripture. But he/his followers distort it. What Christ are they following? There are things as many have written about in history, that were destroyed in wars but they can not destroy the soul, or the word of God. Why! ?? because it is eternal. Christ said everything will pass away but NOT his word. When your mouths insults God's word, make NO MISTAKE you WILL BE HELD accountable by GOD! Christ said his word cannot be broken. You are only cheating yourself, and inspiring others to be like you. You will reap what you sow. Everyone will stand the judgment. Time to REPENT and CHANGE!
2 Corinthians 11:4 (CJB) For if someone comes and tells you about some other Yeshua than the one we told you about, or if you receive a spirit different from the one you received or accept some so-called "good news" different from the Good News you already accepted, you bear with him well enough!
Every Christian is at war. Even NON Christians and people of other faiths are at WAR. The great multitudes AGAINST GOD! At war to be one with this evil world. At they serve the evil one whom was a liar from the beginning. None of us are perfect and lots of us are sinful. No there is not even one. Christ said that. Not according to what God commands in his written word.
Instead of doing WORLDLY things TODAY start with reading God's word and FINDING OUT how do I submit myself to him and his teachings. Ask yourselves WHAT DID CHRIST TEACH and compare it with what you have been told, sold on, and taught. Seek!
I love gospel music, praise and worship. But it is apparent the whole word is under the influence of the evil one. and people are LOST IN ENTERTAINMENT! "I WAS TOO". They are lost in SIN!, REBELLION!, LUST!, VANITY!, CONNECTEDNESS, SLANDER, HATRED, DENYING GOD'S POWER! ETC
J ust like in the day of Naoh so it is written. Time for GOD'S WORD, SUBMISSION, and change. Only God can truly JUDGE a heart. man could attempt it but GOD is the ultimate judge.
Faith comes by hearing God's Word
Amen
Bless David!
