    The Devil thought he was special (you too?)

    Hi there, So after being on drugs and nearly losing my mind, I came back like the prodigal son. In the process, I noticed something about the Devil, that you can't usually tell: I realised that the Devil wasn't ready to let me go, because in his heart, he thought himself to be special. The...

    The Devil makes himself an angel of light, he also gives false emotion and erroneous instruction (on guard?)

    Hi there, So yes, just to give you a little strength for your armory: the Devil not only has masqueraded as an angel of light (letters, from memory), but is able to create false emotion and erroneous instruction. That means we need to know our Bible, but also how our Bible is shared amongst us...

    Could Jesus, be left behind? (faith?)

    Hi there, So, listen, I will be upfront with you, my faith has wavered a lot and I still have a taste for the controversial, and sometimes I dream something up, that I think I know that it will get a reaction. Here's something like that: I really don't know what to say up front, I would prefer...

    "Jacob I have loved, Esau I have hated" ("but I have loved Jacob, far more, than I have hated Esau"). Discuss.

    Hi there, Ok so, we have this verse, where it looks like God is separating wheat from chaff (Malachi), but actually upon reflection, it is not clear that God is playing favourites, so much as extending a distinction - that brings contrast. The key point of fact, is that God does not say "I...

    The Devil is quick to leave Heaven, but gradually he loses the strength (selah)

    Hi there, So just a little thing to edify you with: the Devil has limitations. This is meant to encourage you; if you can resist the Devil, even more and more, you can be delivered of the suffering of this world. So what limitations does the Devil have? Primarily, he is impatient. God says in...

    The Devil is against you, being on this Earth!

    Hi there, So as if you needed to know, when you already believe we are called to be in the world but not of the world: the Devil doesn't want you here! The whole problem of original sin, is that we have come into conflict with Creation, when we should have been serving it, under the Mighty...

    If the Holy Spirit teaches and brings to remembrance, the Devil will refuse to remember or be taught (thoughts?)

    Hi there, So there is a simple observation to make here: if the Holy Spirit teaches and brings to remembrance, the Devil will refuse to remember or be taught. As a going concern, that will make things quite difficult for the unbeliever and even for the believer, to the extent that they are in...

    Time occurs, in the space provided for God's Spirit - no space provided for God's Spirit, no time (discuss).

    Hi there, So I guess it behoves me to set out why it is that refusing to give God's Spirit space, is not wrong. Refusing to give God's Spirit space, is not wrong: if you all the work of the Holy Spirit to be finished. The point is, if you haven't given God's Spirit space, you should wait until...

    If they tell you that you will never get well, hand them over to the Devil permanently - that they learn not to persecute your mental health

    Hi there, So yes, to be plain, there is a way for a psychiatrist to keep you scrambling for self defence: use conceit. What is the conceit that they use? For starters, that they are the psychiatrist, not you; secondly, that there is no reason for them to change their diagnosis, if what you do...

    When the Devil doesn't know, which way you'll go: you become the first enemy (selah). Discuss.

    Hi there, So this is a simple bit of wisdom, that I just want to tease apart a little, and see what it means: The Lord struggled with this, always telling people not to talk about Him, asking His Disciples to wait for His resurrection before they told people about what they had seen (from...

    Paranoia? The Devil’s Tricks?

    I haven’t posted in a while, and I’ve been thinking about how to word this for a while too. I have anxiety, I take medicine for it, and pray for God to help me cope with it. I went on an Anxiety Message Board to ask about this a few months back as well(The answer they gave me, was, it was is a...
