You have proven yourself to be an exceptional person. Not so much by your own doings, but by allowing Almighty God to do his wonderful work of giving you a new life. You suffered through the pain of change, as you died out to the old you. You labored in prayer time after time, until the change came with power and joy in the person of the Holy Ghost! Now you can rejoice in that you are a true child of God.

Indeed, continue to rejoice, but stay alert, because your adversary is still on the prowl. As a Christian, although you are not of the world spiritually, you are still in the world physically. Therefore Satan has his sights on you. He is called “the god of this world” in 2 Corinthians 4:4. That is because he knows how to manipulate the minds and hearts of people, on all levels of society. You can find “Satan’s fingerprints” on almost everything that communicates: be it music; movies; video games; cell phones; news media; and even “church”.

                                                     1 Peter chapter 5
v8-“ Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:”
v9-“ Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.”
v10- “But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.”

         Jesus is our refuge, spiritually speaking, our shelter from storms!

Hebrews 6:18b-“… we might have a strong consolation (comfort), who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:”

                                               It’s a spiritual happening!
                         [The “Enter God’s Workshop” process shows how.]

                  Yes, “church” can be hazardous to your spiritual life also!

                                   2 Thessalonians chapter 2 (excerpts)
v3-“… that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin (religious leaders influenced by Satan) be revealed, the son of perdition.”
v4-“…so that he (Satan in religious leaders) as God sitteth in the temple (in the midst of churchgoers) of God, shewing himself that he is God.”
v9-“Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,”
v10-“And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.”
 v11-“And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:”
v12-“That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”

So, ramp up your prayer time, and your personal Bible study in the New Testament of your Bible. Personal Bible study is more critical than ever in these days. Reason is, most churches and ministries have succumbed to the prophetic “falling away” from biblical Christianity. It is very bad! Scrutinize all ministries that you might see on television or YouTube, using the Bible. Yes, check this ministry out as well. Although, after working at it for about 44 years, and after being called to ministry directly by Jesus Christ, I am sure you will get pure Bible. The eternal destiny of all of us is on the line!

                                                      2 Timothy chapter 3
v1-“This know also, that in the last days perilous (dangerous) times shall come.”
v5- “(churches)Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.”.

[They don’t even believe that God has the power to change a sinner into a saint! Then they wouldn’t have the faith to help you!]

2 Timothy 2:15- “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing (understanding) the word of truth.”.

Ephesians 6:11-“Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.”
