http://koti.phnet.fi/petripaavola/Goliathf...powerofGod.htmlPower of the flesh and selfish men and those who are full of their own carnal power can’t have anointment of God and no blessings of God, as we know this truth through life of Saul.Because David was a little and small man, humble and weak anointment of God and His blessing rest above David. As David made sin, so he also always made repent of those sins in his life. The own men of David have said; that David is fond more, those who hate David as those who loved David. David loved Saul as love of God, although Saul intended to kill him. David loved God and word of God. David trusted more God’s power as on his own power. All these features made David such kind of man whose mind was pleasing God. God calls also you to follow an example of David's life. Love and fear God and anger sinful things, but love sinner, so then you are also pleasing God. This is desire of God for us. Do you allow God’s loving and truthful Spirit, through word of God make you a man who is pleasing loving God?

Pray to the Lord. Read the Word. Base all you believe upon the Word and not mans words. When evil thoughts enter then put on the armour, the helmet of salvation, the breastplate.....Satan will always attack us, even the best man on earth is at times his victim. Have faith and seek the truth asking God to lead you to His glorious truth.

Pray. Don't lay around the house doing nothing all day. Don't masturbate. Turn your mind away from any inappropriate thoughts as quickly as possible when they happen. Perhaps say, "I love you God", and move on when it happens. Remove various magazines and videos and the like from your life. You will know if you have ones that need to go (and don't kid yourself about it). Also, it could help to talk with an upright Christian man and hear his counsel.Pray.:pray:

Adam and Eve did indeed sin, but that isn't the "fruit" (like apple and oranges) They also ain't the first people that sinned.Lovest thou in Christ Jesus (Yahushua) our Lord and Saviour.

Dear Le Britt--Do you realize there are millions of galaxies, perhaps billions and that the cosmos is constantly expanding and the "space" into which it expands didn't exist before, and the whole thing keeps moving and changing into "places" that didn't exist before?Our Father in Heaven is this Cosmos and more. He is love. He has always loved you. Dont think for a second this vast and amazing Father is disturbed by your efforts to deal with your loneliness. He doesn't find fault with you. What you think are failures are just that, your thoughts. Jesus said the whole law was Loving God, loveing all humans, striving to forgive others for their trespasses and to not judge others. Paul confirmed this. If you really are an evangilist, follow that command--the Law. Be consumed with love for God and others and stop being consumed with keeping track of what you think are your sins. The are forgiven before you have committed them IF you allow God's love to flow into and through you by forgiving other just as freely. Perhaps your feeling bad is God telling you to stop condeming yourself and start giving to others. It's not the acts of masturbation or sex He wants you to stop. God is all positive, He wants you to be happy. You can only be happy when you start giving of yourself to God and others-- the Law of Loving is about OTHERS. Get out of your rooms more. Find more of your pleasure outside with others. When you're with others, at least give some of your effort to find out what their needs are--it could be as tiny a thing as giving your seat up, standing back and letting others on the elevators, give a quarter to that beggar, even if your not sure he isn't just lazy. The opportunities will grow as you grow.You're not alone. In one manner or another we have all been in your shoes.antonio

Because David was a little and small man, humble and weak anointment of God and His blessing rest above David.
Who told you he was a small, humble and weak? Bible described his as that when he was still a little boy. As a man - David was a strong, good size man. He was Saul's Armor Bearer!!! Armor was of a very heavy weight back then! 1 Samuel 16:21 (Whole Chapter) So David went to Saul and began serving him. Saul loved David very much, and David became his armor bearer. 1 Samuel 17:38 (Whole Chapter) Then Saul gave David his own armor—a bronze helmet and a coat of mail. 1 Samuel 17:39 (Whole Chapter) David put it on, strapped the sword over it, and took a step or two to see what it was like, for he had never worn such things before.“I can’t go in these,” he protested to Saul. “I’m not used to them.” So David took them off again. Saul was a very tall, huge man, and when David put on Sauld's armor he didn't say 'It's too big on me, I can't walk in this, or it's too heavy'. He walked around in it and said: I am not used to it.... So, that shows us he was a decent proportion man....

Um, Who were the first people who sinned? Satan? He wasn't a person, he's an Angel. So, Adam and Eve are the first people to sin! Romans 5:14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. 1 Corinthians 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. And another thing: What do you mean they didn't eat fruit. What else grows on trees? Bible clearly states that God told them not to eat a FRUIT !!!Genesis 3:2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: Genesis 3:3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. Genesis 3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. The best and most accurate sourse - BIBLE itself!!!!

Yes, Lucifer/Satan is the first person/angels that sinned. Angels are referred to men as well. The Devil sinned along before Adam was born in a flesh body. How else am I suppose to put this in context.John 8:44 - Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.Adam is the first man in a flesh body that sinned. This is and still in the second earth age. Because we are in a flesh body.--------------------------------------------------------------------------(Tama)
And another thing: What do you mean they didn't eat fruit. What else grows on trees? Bible clearly states that God told them not to eat a FRUIT !!!Genesis 3:2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:Genesis 3:3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.Genesis 3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
The serpent there is NOT referring to a literal snake...but Satan the Devil.Revelation 12:9 - And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.Revelation - And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,The "trees" are not exactly trees there. And the fruits are not exactly fruits.Let's start with the "fruit" Adam and Eve did not literally eat the fruit (apples and oranges, bananas etc), but they spiritually eat the fruit (The works of darkness, aka, Satan's/Lucy's work.)Now the "trees", are not exactly trees there. There are people actually.Genesis 2:9 - And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.Let us think shall we? We got the the "ordinary trees". We got the "tree of life" and the "tree of knowledge of good and evil".Let's start with what God says to Adam first.Genesis 2:16-17 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.That is the instruction of what God says.Now we go to the "tree of life" What is this "tree of life" I wonder? Let's look at the truth.Genesis 3:22 - And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:Proverbs 3:18 - She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.She there is referring to wisdom.John 14:6 - Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.Ah, makes sense that the tree of life is Our Lord Jesus Christ.And the tree of life is the power and wisdom of God in below scripture.I Corinthians 1:24 - But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.Christ is the ultimate soul winner in below scripture.Proverbs 11:30 - The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.--------------------------------------------------------------------------The "tree of good and evil" is another title for Satan/Lucy. Lucifer knows good because he once serve God...He knows evil, cause he rebell his own Father.Isaiah 14:12-14 - How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.Lucifer wants to be God, but won't be.Isaiah 14:15 - Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.To prove that Satan was at the gardenof Eden... is this...Ezekiel 28:12-13 - Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.Yet he is the only one that is eternally damned to Hell. It was not made for man...but since (if they choose to go against Him) they don't want Him, Man, too will go there.That is why Lucifer is the "tree of good and evil." Ever wonder why Cain was not in Adam's bloodline...because Cain is in the Devil's bloodline.Lovest thou in Christ Jesus our Lord and Saviour.P.S. The "ordinary trees" are people. We are trees.

1. I am not a tree, I am a daughter of God! I am His creation that was created in His image on the 6th day! Trees were created before then. 2. Cain is in Adam's blood line because Bible says he was! Genesis 4:1 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD. (King James Bible)So, let's see, Adam and Eve concieved a child and he was of devil's blood? He was a regular man who was already capable of sin because his father Adam sinned and caused us (people) became of a sinful nature. If Cain was of Devil's blood how can he birth Enoch who was so loved by God? 3. Devil is not a man, the first man was created in image of God on a 6th day of cretion. God called him Adam. Yes, devil disobeyed God and sinned before Adam did, but Bible crearly states that Sin entered this world thru Adam! Sin had no power in this universe untill Adam and Eve ate the forbiden fruit. Yes the FRUIT. 1 Corinthians 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. 1 Corinthians 15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul....How can you argue this?

Am I yet so confound? If Cain was in Adam's bloodline, he wouldn't have killed (murdered) Abel his twin brother. He was not sorry at all that he killed his brother. First offGenesis 4:3 - And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.Genesis 4:4-5 - And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering: But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.Cain did not follow God's order, but Abel did. Cain even lied to God, that he says that he didn't know where/what happened his brother at. He clearly knew what he did wrong.Genesis 4:8-10 - And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him. And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper? And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.God knew that Cain killed Abel...because Abelis obtained righteousness in the sight of God.Genesis 5 is the geology of Adam, yet Cain was not put there. Abel would be put in there, but since he's dead, Seth is the replacement of Abel. And Adam is the son of God.Luke 3:28 - Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God.Genesis 5 - And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:Christ was in the bloodline of Adam from the beginning. God knows that the bloodline must be pure...so that Christ can be born of a woman. And the bloodline from Cain is not pure. The bloodline of a Devil is very real. If there is no bloodline from the Devil, would there be any false teachings in this world. I say unto thee, Nay.There is a person name Enoch in Adam's bloodline. There is also a person name Enoch in Cain's bloodline. It means teaching.Enoch in Adam's bloodline means teaching of righteousness, and on Cain's...It means teaching of wickedness.Lovest thou in Christ Jesus our Lord and Saviour.P.S. When I say "We are trees" I didn't mean that physically but figureatively.Lucifer is an angel, while he is a Devil. And angels in the bible are being referred as "men"Did you know that, When we are going to be in our spiritual body, there is no such thing as a woman, We all (in our spiritual body) are men, It is gender neutrals.

Able wasn't his twin brother. Abel was born after Cain (younger brother)Who's theory is this? Blood line stuff. Let's stick to the BIBLE as our sourse and not guess things. Cain killed his brother because he came from Adam's blood. He was driven by his sinful nature. As all of us are! You and I both are capable of sin and that doesn't mean I (or you) have devil's blood line.

Who said Abel wasn't a twin brother...a twin can be a minute apart, even five minute apart. Just remember the Kenites (sons of Cain) is still very real today. And yes we are capable of sinning...but do you think most likely a devil would want to repent. I say nay. a devil would rather want sons of God to be with them, to deceive them. But it's possible that the Kenites (sons of Cain) want to repent to the Lord Jesus Christ.Let no man deceive you.Lovest ye in Christ Jesus our Lord and Saviour.P.S. Have you read the real sin of the study? If not True Sin Study

How do you come up with this stuff?

How can Cain be of a devil's blood line if GOD SAID IN THE BIBLE : Adam and Eve concieved a child Cain, and Adam said: A man from the Lord. Why are you so surprised that Adam's son sinned? We all sin! This is what Adam caused when he disobeyed! Bible has hundreds of places proving that! How can you say that Jesus came from a pure bloodline (adam's) if he didn't come from a man. Remember? Joseph didn't have anything to do with it. Mary's blood isn't playing any role in it. Woman's blood never mixes with baby's blood. It's completely separated. That's why Jesus was born with a pure nature - because he wasn't sharing an earthly bloodline.

Um, the Bible has many examples of brother killing brother. Brother's sin against their brother's. See what sin does to brother's?

Of course, Christ was born of a woman, without an earthly father...Noah and his family was the only family that didn't messed with the daughters of men.Notice the sons of God (fallen angels in this case) take the daughters of men to be their wives and God said...Genesis 6:3 - And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.God saved Noah and his family (eight souls) on the Ark, and that flood destroys many people. Noah, while a just and perfect man in his generation. (Genesis 6:9) Noah and his family was pure because they didn't be with the daughters of men...God needed a pure bloodline so that Christ can be born of a woman. You seemed surprised that God needed the bloodline so that His Son can be born in the flesh. (John 1:14)Lovest thou in Christ Jesus our Lord and Saviour.

No, but I've gone thru full length of a Bible School and Missionary school (3 years) and believe me - I learned alot and have lots and lots of Bible-study material.....Okay, No, Devil wouldn't want to repent, but we have a Holy Spirit that talks to our consciense and we repent. If you think that only a man of Devil's blood line can murder - look at David... He murdered someone and God still loved David.. Moses murdered someone. So, by your theory - if you commit a sin and don't repent you are of Devil's bloodline?
