"Virtuous Proverbs 31 women. 10 " A wife of noble character who can find? she is worth far more then rubies. 11 " Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value.12 She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life. 13 She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands.14 She is like the merchant ships, bringing her food from afar.15 She gets up while it is still night; she provides food for her family and portions for her female servants.16 She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard. 17 She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks.18 She sees that her trading is profitable, and her lamp does not go out at night. 19 In her hand she holds the distaff and grasps the spindle with her fingers. 20 She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy. 21 When it snows, she has no fear for her household; for all of them are clothed in scarlet. 22 She makes coverings for her bed; she is clothed in fine linen and purple. 23 Her husband is respected at the city gate, where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.24 She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies the merchants with sashes. 25 She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. 26 She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.27 She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.28 Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: 29 “Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all.” 30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. 31 Honor her for all that her hands have done, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate".

"Exposing The Mystery Of Iniquity" Pastor Gary C. Price
Today I was thinking about how many times I saw girls, "play around" in school suggesting they were boyfriend and girlfriend. Since I was in Kindergarten, girls acted like they were married at recess on the playground. It was mostly the girls that were best friends or really close that played that game in elementary school. I believed It became the devil's plan to get usto step into perversion while we were young. By the time I got into high school, things changed. It had nothing to do with just pretending to be best friends or being really close. Girls saw other girls as sex objects and sexually attractive to each other. Bisexual- Sexually attracted to both men and women
I remembered seeing girls at lunch time playing around and holding hands, acting as if they were a couple. Most of the girls had boyfriends and were beautiful girls, but for some reason they were attracted to one another instead of their own boyfriends. At the time, I couldn't put my finger on the situation and questioned, why was it A Bisexual Playground?
I've also notice girls putting on their Facebook "relationship status" that they were married to other girls. I even seen my own family members put on their status that they were married to one another. The meaning of that status is basically saying, "you are my wife".
I know the Word of God states, He made man to be with a woman and they should become one flesh. Genesis 2: 22-24 " Then the LORD God made a women from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. The man said, "This is now bone and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called woman, for she was taken out of man." For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh".
It is NOT funny to me nor to be taking lightly that girls would play around suggesting being married to one another. Ephesians 5:4" Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or course joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving".
Playing around suggesting you are married to another female or behaving like you're a couple, only opens up the door way for the devil perversion in your life. It's a lesbian spirit ready to take control over your mind. Being Bi, Gay, and lesbian is not a trend or life style to be proud of. It is written in the Word of God, as an abomination to our lord Jesus Christ. I've seen girls get hurt by boys and ended up turning to other girls in school for comfort and love. By the end of the week they were a couple. These girls thought it was funny and a game to act like they were a couple, they let the deception of the world influence them. The world Promotes, its okay to be a lesbian and its okay to love whoever you want to love. In our generation girls believe its okay to flirt around with one another, but its NOT! We can never find love from being attracted to the same sex! The only true love is in Jesus Christ and to obey His Laws. The Devil only wants to change young girls and flip their minds into a state of insanity, so they can be transform just like him in order to create a Bisexual Playground and pervert the very creation of God.
In God's kingdom, He has created Virtuous women. In order to love you as His bride and His daughter, He wants to transform us into His likeness. Virtuous Proverbs 31 women. 10 " A wife of noble character who can find? she is worth far more then rubies. 11 " Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value.12 She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life. 13 She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands.14 She is like the merchant ships, bringing her food from afar.15 She gets up while it is still night; she provides food for her family and portions for her female servants.16 She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard. 17 She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks.18 She sees that her trading is profitable, and her lamp does not go out at night. 19 In her hand she holds the distaff and grasps the spindle with her fingers. 20 She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy. 21 When it snows, she has no fear for her household; for all of them are clothed in scarlet. 22 She makes coverings for her bed; she is clothed in fine linen and purple. 23 Her husband is respected at the city gate, where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.24 She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies the merchants with sashes. 25 She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. 26 She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.27 She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.28 Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: 29 “Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all.” 30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. 31 Honor her for all that her hands have done, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate".
We as young ladies need to strive to become Virtuous women, Not whores and lesbians. We need to look up to such women as Esther, Mary, Ruth, Sarah and how they were obedient in their walk with God. Matthew 7:7 "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will opened to you".
John 8:32 "Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."

One night on the prayer line, I heard a brother in Christ pray about following Jesus Christ is a Race Of Endurance. As soon as he said that, I began to feel excited and strengthen. The more I seek God the more my mind gets clearer and clearer everyday. I known these past two mouths that God has been doing a work in my heart that I cant not explain. Its been wonderful and tough.
This is a race of endurance to follow Jesus Christ and NOT give up. I know its tough and I know that sometimes you want to give up, even myself. I had to realize really fast that I needed to grow some tough skin. We all have to continue to run the race and focus our minds and discipline our bodies on to the Lord.
1 Timothy 6:11-12 "But you, man of god flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance, and gentleness. Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses".
This past few weeks I was watching the Olympics. I noticed that how every swimmer, track player, tennis player, and gymnast trained and focus for years on getting a Gold medal. I said to myself "Lord Jesus if these people could train for years on getting a piece of medal, then I should be training and focusing more towards you to receive the award of eternal life".
1 Timothy 4:7-12 " Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives tales ; rather, train yourself to be godly. For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all thing, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come".
It takes Endurance for those athletes in the Olympics to strive to win a medal. So we all should spend more time and pressing on in towards the word of God.
Sometimes there's a spirit of lethargic that runs in my mind. I don't "feel" like reading my bible or praying. At times I'll wake up in the middle of the night knowing that God wants me to get up and pray. I noticed I can not rely on my "feelings", because I wont rely on God. I'll be relying on my own understandings.
Proverbs 3:5" Trust in the lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight".
As Paul said in 1 Corinthians "No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to
others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize". I have to beat my own flesh (sinful nature) that is against me to follow God. To wake up in the middle of night and pray even if I don't "feel" like doing it. Romans 8:7 "the sinful mind is hostile to God. It does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so".
That's why I plead the blood of Jesus over my mind, so that I can be able to focus on what God has for me and not what my flesh (sinful nature ) wants .
Everyday we have to strive, day by day. That's why I encourage you and myself, to keep on striving towards God. Running and never giving up. God is for us and wants us to follow him with all of our hearts and mind.
2 Timothy 2:10 "Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they may also obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory".
1 Thessalonian "May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ".

In Genesis chapter 19, the spirit of homosexuality was inflamed in the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah . God wanted to Destroy the city because of their perversion for the same-sex sexual interaction. Before God wanted to destroy the cities, He sent his two Angels to warn Lot and his family to leave the town. While the Angels were at Lot's house, Genesis 19:5" They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them". The Men of the Town wanted to have sex with the Angels. All of the Men in Sodom and Gomorrah, natural desires was not for women but for each other. Now in our Generation that same spirit of homosexuality is spewing all over the world more then ever today.
Leviticus 18:22"Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable".
One Morning, I was watching a movie called Madagascar 2 with my little brother. It was only 5 minutes into the movie and it quickly promoted the Homosexual Agenda. One of the main characters, King Julian is introduce in the beginning of the movie in part 2 showing him coming out of a cake, wearing a bra, and a skirt. I asked myself, why would the producers and directors characterize him as a transgender?
*Transgender- identifies with a gender, other that the biological one.
In the video you can hear him say," I'm a lady, I'm a lady", "which one of you are attracted to me?"
Now after watching that scene from the movie, I said, Wow! Look how the Devil put his sneaky agenda in a family animated movie.Why does 6 years old and 12 years old kids need to be entertained by this? Whats the point?
The point is to indoctrinate us with a homosexual and transgender spirit. Influencing my six year old brother and youths to believe, its okay to dress up as a Homosexual.
After I saw that scene in the movie, I thought about the guys who sag their pants. In our generation we see majority of the guys wear their pants in that fashion.
Colossians 3:5 "put to death therefore what is earthly in you:sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry"
I use to think it was normal to see guys dress that way, because I was so conditioned to seeing it. I never really knew what it meant.
One day my Assistant Principal told the class, the real meaning behind "sagging". He told us that it was actually a prison code that indicated that the homosexuals who were "sagging" in prison were letting other men aware their were ready for sexual intercourse.
I used to tell the boys at my school the true meaning of sagging their pants, that they were actually giving a sign, wanting to have sex with other boys. Majority of them will brush me off and say "Man its not that serious", and some of them that knew would say "yes, I know but, I just have to wear it like that" .
After God brought this to my remembrance, I felt a sadness for the ones that knew, but they couldn't stop dressing that way. The devil has their mind bound for wanting to be accepted by the world. The devil only wants to depreciate you, when God wants to accept you and love you for Himself. The only reason why they can't stop or will not stop, because they have a Homosexual spirit running their minds and actions.
"Oh boy"! Now you see young men and even women using this Homosexual Style as a fashion trend. A fashion trend of "SWAGGING". Are we really that ignorant of Satan's Homosexual Agenda?
Most young men get this swag image from rappers and singers.Some of the artist I know like Lil Wayne and Kayne West are homosexuals. In the image below Kayne West is wearing a skirt, which boldly promotes a transgender spirit that is not of God.
The Devil Is A Lier!
Lil Wayne
Kanya West
Most of the young men I know are father-less.They have no father figures in the home to discipline or to show them how to be young men. So the Devil uses rappers and singers to shape and mold our generation of men into his likeness, a Homosexual Transgender. 1 peter 5:8-"Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour". God is a father to the fatherless.Psalm 68:5 "A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling".
Also girls are attractive to these boys really need to seek God and ask why their are attracted to the homosexual dress code? Homosexuals DO NOT LIKE women. Your are basically their competition,that homosexual spirit has a desire for men and NOT women. That's why you will get a guy that will curse at you or try to degrade you, because they do not have any interest in treating you like a virtuous women. As women we need to surrender ALL our desires to Jesus Christ and ask God to shape us into women that He wants us to be. He will send you a God fearing man, On His time and what He knows you truly desire.
God could mold you and shape you into a Man. If you repent unto God and ask him to forgive you for dressing that way and accepting the free of forgiveness. Ask him to cleanse you from a homosexual spirit.
Matthew 7:7-"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you".
Pastor Gary C Price- SWAG Part 1 & Part 2
Are you going to Follow the Devils Homosexual Dress Code or are you Going To Follow God's dress code and be a MAN?
"Do not love The world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him".
Recently a couple nights ago, there was a heavy dark spirit in my room near my bed. I felt as if there was something watching me. I couldn't see it, but I felt the demonic presence. I tried to ignore it and go to sleep but the spirit of Fear crept in my mind. My first reaction was like a 5 year old girl, I pulled the covers over my head with fear.
Then the Holy Spirit spoke to me " Stand Firm", I immediately questioned," God stand Firm ? but I'm scared"! He said, " No time to be scared, Get up! and pray over your room". I Got up and Plead the Blood of Jesus over my room, but I still felt like there was a spirit of fear that was still in my heart. So I went in my parents room and told them if they can pray with me.
We were praying and casting out evil spirits. Once my mother said, "Witchcraft sent to this house and room, I curse it in Jesus Name." I heard a windy noise go out of the window. While we were done praying and my parents went back to their room. I fell asleep with a peace, I knew by Jesus Name demons should be cast out.
During the middle of the week, the devil started bringing back thoughts of my past with old boyfriends and friends I used to hang out with, that was of the world. I started to bind the devil in the NAME OF JESUS! I felt righteously angry. I said to myself " I need to Get Angry, Get Tough, and Go Off at the Devil"!
I knew when I was in the world and someone was bothering me or bullying me, I'll fight them off me before I let them bother me again. So how come I couldn't be that way with the devil? The devil is just a bully tormenting you, always trying to find a way to distract you. After I realized I had to Get Angry, Get Tough, and Go Off at the
Devil, I immediately went into prayer! I asked God to give me strength
to overcome temptations, to give me a heart to please him, so that I
won't go astray, but to stand firm and to follow after Jesus Christ. I
asked God that he would build me up for war! War to fight for Jesus Christ!
We need to put on the Full Armor Of God!
Ephesians 6:10-17
The Armor of God
"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God". Our War is not a Carnal War, but a Spiritual War!
Ephesians 6:12 "For Our Struggle is not against, Flesh and Blood, but against the rulers, against authorities, against the power of the dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms".
We all need to stand up! Not to be satisfied by comfort, but to go out and Tell the world about God! 2 Timothy"For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline". "I know we all have the ability to" Get Angry, Get Tough, and Go Off at the Devil"!
At times when I need some encouragement I always take a look at this video from Don Johnson "Overcome" .
*Ephesians 6:10-18- " Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.
Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the
schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood,
but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic
powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil
in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness".
*Philippians 4:13- "I can do all things threw Christ who strengthens me".
While I was reading the Book of John 12: 20-36 "Jesus Predicts His Death". Jesus was speaking to Philip and Andrew, John 12:23"Jesus said, The hour has come for the son of man to be glorified".It was the hour for the Son of God to be glorified for giving up his life, to set us free. I thought, well if God could do this for me then I should work on doing the same. It says inJohn 12:25 "The man who loves his life will lose it, while the man who hates his life in this world will keep it for Eternal life".
I realized if God is telling us this, It's something important for us to know, we should have no desires to love this world. If we do, we will lose our Eternal Life and be sent to Hell. A person who hates his life in this world would receive something so much greater, Eternal Life in Heaven with Him.
I look back and noticed the damage I did to my mind while having
"F.U.N" with the Devil. It is only by the grace of Jesus Christ that He
kept me from dying and going to Hell. Even at times when I went back to
the vomit (the world), God still made a way for me to come out and to repent! So that's why we owe God our time and life.
Once I started seeking God, I was not ecstatic about the concept, we will probably have to give up our lives for Him one day. I was actually terrified of the thought of being persecuted for believing in Jesus Christ and Professing," He is the savior of the world". So I began to turn away from God.
Matthew 13:21-"But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away".
Yes! I quickly fell away from Gods word because, I didn't have any root in Him. I wasn't seeking God with all of my heart and mind. Deuteronomy 6:5"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all you". I still wanted to have control over my life. I didn't want to surrender to God with complete Obedience. Giving him ever aspect of my life. I was full with fear knowing persecution will come. Family and friends will turn you in and curse you because of professing Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. I knew I was being selfish by trying to save my own life.
Even though, I was fearful and selfish God still had mercy and began to speak to my heart, "I died for you on the cross because, I love you". I struggle to surrendered and I realized I MUST give up all my desires, so He could fill me with His desires for my life. We all was brought with a high price and called to receive Eternal Life. It says in John 3:30 “He Must become Greater ; I must become less”.
I believe many people run away from God's word because their scared
to face the reality of being a True Christian. Giving up all that we
have and desires. For example, it is easy to say we're Christians but
harder to actually live the life of complete obedience to Him. In 2 Timothy 1:7 "For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love, and self-discipline". The Lord already insure us that we have His Spirit to overcome everyday as we walk towards Him, to make us perfect in Him.
It says in John 15:13-14"Greater love has no one than this, that they lay down his life for his friends.You are my friends if you do what I command".
I asked God one night, if he would take away my own pleasures and help me become fearless of the days of persecution. so I could become a friend to Him and to keep His commands.
In
order to receive the gift of Eternal life and to keep his commands, Our lives should be lead by His Spirit and Word. I have learned to keep away from the desires of the world and to focus in living a
righteous life. We need to become Fearless, live up to what God has for us and share the gospel to others.
John 17:3"Now this is Eternal Life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent"
We are NOT called to be entertained
by Music, Shopping, Partying, watching t.v, or hearing the latest gossip, but we are called to glorify God! We need to start living up to doing signs and miracles. John 14:12 "Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do
the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than
these, because I am"
John
17:23" I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity
to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you
have loved me".
This school year, I was struggling with Tenth-grade math and American literature class. I noticed that I wasn't very attentive. I thought to myself, what's going on? I'm usually focused and I'm not as easily distracted. For some reason I had a hard time focusing.
Everyday was a struggle to stay focus, all I kept saying was "Math is boring and so is English".Why is it so hard to focus"?
I knew that this wasn't normal, so I had told my mom about it. She actually found a website: www.h2gogreen.com/deliverance/ deliverance booklet called, (Evil spirits of arrested development), arrested development is one of the largest areas of attack on the mind, will, and emotions. If the enemy can weaken or damage just one of these three, the entire chain is weakened. Therefore it is important to work diligently in each of these three areas to purify and cleanse ourselves of enemy infiltration and strongholds". One spirit that was discuss was Dyscalculia: problems with mathematics. Another spirit is Dysgraphia : written language, grammar, and spelling-writing legibly.
The spirit of Dyscalculia couldseize your mind so bad that you could have difficulty remembering multiplication facts and have a hard time trying to remember" the steps" of formulas in order to solve math problems. The spirit of Dysgraphia couldalso capture your mind, because writing a simple school essay could become hard, forgetting proper grammar and spelling writing structure.
For example, the concept of (SMS) Short message service, which we call Text messaging was invented by Friedhelm Hildebrand, a German engineer and a technical writer. He came up with this idea in 1985. The way teenagers use the concept of text messaging, doesn't really benefit our writing skills. That idea was a simple door way for the spirit of Dysgraphia to come into our souls. It "dumbs down" the way we write. We tend to write a simple word like "what"" and spell it in a text message "wat". I even noticed this style of writing was affecting my school work. I would write how I would text my friends, my teachers would get frustrated, not only towards me but towards my classmates as well. After I was informed about these spirits I realized the different strong holds affecting our learning abilities.
Furthermore, I really started to question myself, what else could have captivated me in order to not focus and achieve in school.
When I was in public school before I was enrolled in homeschooling, I noticed that my classmates would get easily distracted. We would instantly stop doing our classwork and start to rap or sing songs like, Super Bass and other secular songs.
I came to my own conclusion, my 6 year old brother had more focus then some of my classmates and even myself. We knew the lyrics of songs more then we knew our multiplication facts. I noticed that the music we were listening to had an impact on our souls and it effected us in class as well.
If your listening to music like, Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj for example, then what you hear and take in your soul, is what you will think and how you will behave. I had to come to the conclusion myself, do I still want to keep listening to this type of music or Do I stop! and seek God? "Super Bass" by Nicki Minaj and "Drop the World" by Lil Wayne promote lust, oral sex, hate, self-worship, premarital sex, Death, and of course foul language. In the bible it says in:
Colossians 3:5 "Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry".
These two artist and many more,are corrupted with filth and so are there lyrics.
These two artist promotes music that fills your mind with confusion and corruption. As I stated in The Invisible War, we have to guard our minds with heavenly things! Their music hinders our thinking development.
I even experience the effect on my own mind from this music. I couldn't think or even express myself correctly, because their music and many other artist was down grading my thinking process.
By these picture I don't think you would want to follow in their lead.
Not focusing in school or even things in our daily lives we have to examine. Music was one of the issues God had showed me. Text messaging, was a problem causing me to forget how to write proper grammar. Their are spirits behind certain things that we are unaware of. We have to be able to focus and concentrate on Jesus Christ. He has everything to do with our lives and he would love to see us succeed in everything we do and give him the honor and glory.
We have to question ourselves, what causes us to have lack of concentration, in our school work, at work, or even reading our bible?
That is why we have to bind evil spirits that are causing confusion and lack of focus, In Jesus name!
Matthew 16:19 "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven”.
A lot of us might think once we get saved we're okay and we could make it into God's kingdom. We often say, "well I'm a good person, I obey my parents and I attend church every Sunday." But that is not even half of the walk with Jesus Christ.
There is an invisible war for our minds, a war that determines whether you will be with Jesus Christ or Satan. Ephesians 6:12" For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places".
We have to reach a point in our lives when we realize within ourselves,that we are NOT too young, to understand the real truth of living a Christian life and to follow Jesus. I notice sometimes, we often over look certain things that are unusual in our lives and we either ignore it or do nothing about it. We have to start microscopically examine our surroundings as well as our emotions in order to guard our minds from the" flaming arrows of the evil one" Do you ever notice sometimes you feel either depress, angry or sinful thoughts will invade your mind?
What cause those sinful thoughts and weird feelings? They are evil spirits! *Evil spirits tending to cause harm, to destroy your mind, and to use your body for perversion. The Invisible War is in our "Mind:(inahumanorotherconsciousbeing)theelement,part, substance, orprocessthatreasons,thinks,feels,wills, perceives,judges,etc.:theprocessesofthehumanmind".
Our minds are very sensitive. It's like a computer that tracks thoughts, memories and even images. It is very important to direct our minds away from sin and hold it captive to heavenly thoughts. As we periodically virus scan our computers, we must periodically virus scan our minds, clearing it from evil spirits and downloading the WORD of God. We then can meditate on it day and night. Furthermore, Praying and fasting for God's wisdom, so we could understand what He has freely given us. ( 1 Corinthians 2-16). "For who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ."
We have to stand in the Lord and his Mighty power. Putting on the full "Armor Of God" (Ephesians 6:10-18) We need the Armor of God to go against evil spirits, to overcome them! This is Spiritual warfare,The Invisible War.
*Spiritual warfare-The Devil and Demons attempt to destroy your walk with Jesus Christ. "There focus is to get your mind back on (Earthly Things)."
1 Corinthians 15:58 "Therefore, my dear brothers,stand firm. Let nothing move you..."
James 4:7"Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you"
God came down from heaven. He died on the cross for our sins. He gave us a way out from destruction. Once we receive him as our lord and savior, He will help us and guide us. The more we seek Him, the more we will find Him. We will become a new creation.
2 Corinthians 5:17 "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come"
Lets make a bold stand to follow Jesus Christ, and separate from loving the world.
1john 2:15 " Do not love the world or anything in the world.If anyone loves the world,the love of the father is not in him
Lets Pick A Side!
We need more young soldiers to step out of the crowd. We need to guard our minds and resist the devil schemes.
This is an invisible War for our souls and minds. We are Never too young to serve Jesus Christ and join God's Army!
I use to always want attention from boys. Everywhere I went, I was in search of a "Boyfriend". I knew it was a demonic spirit that was in me, a spirit of lust.
Ephesians 6:12 "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places".
Lately, God has delivered me from lust. As Teenagers, (mostly girls) Lol. We focus so much on having a relationship, thinking or talking about a particular boy or girl that we like or admirer. God had to show me that, I had to give him every area of my life completely, including "Having a Boyfriend".
The first thing, God had reviled to me was, my dad is the only real earthly male presence I should have in my life, right now. My interaction with my dad will teach me how to be submissive to male authority and to fully understand the love of Jesus Christ. Then, I will be prepared for the husband God has for me.
I said, "sure, okay God, whatever you have for me, I'll wait".
Instead of humbling myself, I started to be prideful. My behavior and impression was like a 5 year old,"Stay away from me! you have the cooties"! LOL I did not want to interact with any boys anymore. I didn't need too, I thought, God would bring my husband. I wouldn't even say "hello". The thought in my mind was,"Stay away from me, you have the cooties"!
God had to show me that I was being very prideful. He brought back to my memory the times, I was in middle school and high school. I always got along better with the boys then girls. My experience with the girls in my school was all about gossiping or fighting, when I did hang out with the boys at lunch, it was less drama. I found it easier to talk to them about sports or laugh with them when they joke around in class.They would usually share their personal life situations with me; about issues at home. I never really understood why? Most of the times my guy friends would tell me, it was easy for them to talk with me, because they never got the impression, I was trying to be something I wasn't or throwing myself on them in a flirtation way, I was just being myself.
As I meditated on what God was showing me, I realized certain boys was able to talk to me, because it wasn't me they saw, but it was Christ light that was shining threw me that caught there attention, but I still refuse to talk to any boys in friendly conversation. Even though, I knew I would have to share the love of Jesus Christ to them. I thought to myself,"Stay away from me, you have the cooties"! that was my focus. I didn't understand at first, how I was being prideful. I just wanted to mind my own business and wait for what God has for me. But, I believe the Lord wants us to stay busy as we wait on Him for our promises. He told me that, I have to share my faith with everyone, BUT be wise. NOT, everyone you should talk too. As the Holy Spirit began to convict me, I was still bothered by the situation. My thoughts was still, "Stay away from me, you have the cooties"! I called My Aunt about the issue. I had to get another confirmation from someone who is in the faith. She told me that," God call us to share our faith with everyone and at times He will draw people to you". She continue to say, "I could probably be the planter who sow that seed in their hearts. It's not just sharing the faith but to pray for them. Do not run away from boys, but set an example of a virtuous Woman and they will immediately know where you stand".
After the conversation, I prayed about it, and it was true. I can not deny what God was showing me. I need to share the faith with everyone. The truth is, I have to make sure there is no blemish of lust found within me, because when I do talk with a boy, it should never gratify any lustful evil desires.
Colossians 3:5 "put to death therefore what is earthly in you:sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry"
This doesn't just go for girls, but for boys as well. If a girl comes to you with lust .You shouldn't allow it, but be very up front and tell the truth about Jesus Christ, Everything you say should be about Christ. You have to make sure your mind is guarded and set an example of a Godly man.
Galatians 5:16-"But I say,walk by the spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh"
We have to be wise,We shouldn't minister to anyone knowing our intentions are wrong. But we must make sure that we don't have any blemishes and we must let the Holy Spirit lead us in everything we do. It shouldn't even be a hint of lust in the heart, but a heart of purity and love.
I finally realized, I needed to stop playing the "cooties game". Every believers needs to share their faith. Salvation is critical. I thought it was amazing how God could show you about yourself in one single day, when you give him all of your attention. Even if you don't want to hear it, humble yourself.
Today, I woke up thinking about all of my "Friends" I used to talk too.They are doing the same things I did when I was in the world, sinning! I wondered if they were my Real Friends? They did say, that they were Christians? I started to really ponder on that thought.
How come they never told me stop doing all of my sins that was sending me on a path to Hell?
How come when i did sin they told me it was okay?
How come they never told me about Jesus Christ?
All of these thoughts raced in my head, before God showed me the Truth about Me and My "Friends" I felt as if," I'm saved now" so I could go back and talk to them about God. "Oh boy"
I thought wrong, when I shared with them that I was saved, I actually felt free for the first time, but all they said was "Leya" we are proud of you", and went off to a topic that had nothing to do with Jesus Christ. I thought to myself, shouldn't they be excited, shouldn't we both be crying right now. shouldn't we both be getting angry at the devil, because he's trying to destroy our lives at this age?
So for awhile, I separated myself from them because, every time we talked I will catch myself talking how I used too, my whole demeanor will change.God showed me, I had a soul-tie with every last friend I hung out with.
"Soul-tie: When another person soul joins yours; you pick up characteristic traits,or you grow completely attach to that person "
When I moved to Georgia from New York and Massachusetts, it was really hard. I had a hard time separating myself from my friends. At times, I longed to speak to them; to find out whats going on with them. I was still trying to be a part of their world.
What I learned from that whole experience was that; God was showing me to move on.That He has everything in control, that this is not who I am anymore.He told me " To leave them in his hands and to move on, to make sure I focus on what I have to do so, that I don't go astray".
Matthew 7:21-23 "Another disciple said to him, Lord first let me go and bury my father,But Jesus told him,"Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead.Then he got into the boat and his disciples followed him".
This scripture helped me understand that, God wants you to leave everything and follow him. I shouldn't be worrying about what my old friends are doing or concern about the latest rumors, but I have to stand strong and resist the temptations.
My old friends and I have nothing in common anymore, it was like I wanted to still fit in their world but "a right foot can't fit into a left shoe",I could never fit with them, because we live in two different kingdoms. A Kingdom for Christ and A kingdom for Satan, I live in God's Kingdom.
Who are your friends you call "My B.F.F'S"?and Which Kingdom you will choose to live in?
