Indwelling of the Holy Spirit

Get Delivered and Set Free This New Year!

THIS here is an addiction chart from Association of Biblical Counselors, part of the Biblical Counseling Coalition, of which I am a member.

Courtesy of A.B.C.

THIS addiction chart is for ANY type of addiction a person may have; it starts with the pride/lust for whatever it is that the person thinks they must have. Following the path of decline in the chart, unfortunately picking up more demonic strongholds along the way (because in REALITY, that IS what they all are, no matter HOW they got there, or WHO let them “in” to that individual), the person not only becomes weaker and more susceptible to becoming a prisoner of the addiction, in the end, there is ALWAYS remorse, guilt, and could lead to destruction/death of that individual, IF they do NOT recognize their need for DELIVERANCE of those addictive strongholds.

IN THIS NEW YEAR, I wanted to start putting posts up 1-2 a month (on my professional FB page and/or blog page), or as many as the Holy Spirit leads me to, about the many different ways humans allow themselves to have strongholds, and the several enticing paths that the enemy of our souls deceptively lead humans down, to become CAPTIVES of those strongholds, making them feel like there is no way out.

Those strongholds come into a person FIRST through the THOUGHTS in their minds–the FIERY DARTS (Eph. 6:16, KJV) that Satan and the demonic entities entice a person with. Those “fiery darts” most of the time are something of an “Achille’s heel” to a person, whether it be alcohol, drugs, sex, pornography, gluttony, etc.

The evil ones KNOW us better than we know ourselves. They have been here for several MILLENNIA, watching, observing, “taking notes”, and knowing just how to STRIKE at their “opponent”–the human being, BECAUSE we are made in the image of the Most High God (Genesis 1:26-27).

BUT FIRST, I must address a very GRAVE and serious issue that I have come to realize within the Body of Christ, when it comes to the written ✡️📖✝️Word of God.

It’s one thing for a human being that has no desire to believe or heed the Word of God. They automatically deny everything about the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit when that individual aligns themselves with any other god/cult/false religion that exists in this demonically infested world we live in.

The LORD God, since the days of Genesis and the Garden of Eden, HAS ALLOWED us human beings to CHOOSE whether or not we will give allegiance to HIM and His Word, or, to follow our own fleshly desires, and continue on the path of destruction, which unfortunately leads to what is called the eternal “second death” in the Lake of 🔥Fire (see Revelation 20:11-15).

THE ONLY WAY to escape that, is to ACKNOWLEDGE and REPENT of one’s sins, ACCEPT the LORD JESUS CHRIST as BOTH Savior AND LORD of their lives, and–very important–seek to be DELIVERED and SET FREE from any and all spiritual strongholds and bondages that have been in their lives, keeping them from living the purposeful life in Christ, that the LORD God destined for each and every human being.

EACH and every person MUST be tested, just like Adam and Eve were in the Garden of Eden. The LORD God Elohim ALLOWED that serpent–(HaSatan/Lucifer/the devil–see Isaiah 14:12-14, Ezekiel 28:13-16; Rev. 12:9) to TEMPT Earth’s first human beings.
What was now being disguised as a Serpent to Adam and Eve became rebellious in his service and ministry to the LORD God (he WAS an anointed Guardian Cherub of the rank of the supernatural entities called Cherubim in the Kingdom of Heaven)

I know that even many Christians cannot wrap their heads around the BIBLICAL FACT that the LORD God HAS ALLOWED the evil ones SUCH as HaSatan, to “roam about, seeking whom they may devour” (1 Peter 5:8). It is not only to TEST us, but to also see where our ALLEGIANCE lies–whether it be with the Most High God and taking Him at His Word, OR–aligning oneself to one or more of the gods of this world, that the LORD God told us in His commandments to “have no other gods before/besides Me” (Ex. 20:3); nor are we to have made any pagan carved images of those gods, and then pray and worship them (Ex. 20:4-5) instead of the Most High God. The LORD was very plain in His speech throughout the Old and New Testaments, that NO OTHER GODS were to come before HIM and usurp His authority in any way.

But even Christians have allowed those demonic entities to fool them in one way or another, and deceive them into not only acknowledging, but some have even served AND worshipped, those demonic entities that parade around as gods TO THIS DAY. As absurd as it sounds, we see it happening all around us–many so-called faith leaders have done EXACTLY what the OT prophets, the Lord Jesus, the apostles John, Paul, and Peter warned us that they would do in the coming last days–depart from the true Faith, and be turned to idols, false teachers (2 Cor. 11:13; 2 Peter 2:1), false Christs (Matt. 24:24), false prophets (Matt. 7:15; 24:11; Mk. 13;22), and false gods (Jer. 14:22; 18:15; Zech. 10:2), leading them to their eternal death and destruction (Rev. 20:10-15).

WE ARE to TEST these spirits (1 John 4:1-3), to see whether they are true or false! It’s obvious that MANY human beings have to their eternal detriment, NOT tested those spirits, and have aligned themselves with such false teachers, prophets, gods, etc.

WE ARE LIVING in the days that 2 Timothy spoke about when it comes to having to preach the word when it is NOT welcomed in the increasingly demonic and fleshly-ruled world system we live in–“For the TIME is coming (and IS NOW HERE!) when people will NOT endure sound (spiritually healthy) teaching, but HAVING ITCHING EARS they will accumulate to themselves teachers (false teachers!) to SUIT THEIR OWN passions, TURNING AWAY from listening to the TRUTH (of God’s Word!) and wander off into MYTHS (lies of the devil)” (see 2 Tim. 4:1-5 for the entire passage in context).

Even church leaders from all the different splintered sects try and either dismiss God’s ✡️📖✝️written Word, ignoring what He has said, or worse yet, break the commandment written in Deuteronomy 4:2–“You shall NOT add to the word that I command you, NOR take from it, that you may KEEP the commandments of the LORD your God that I COMMAND YOU.”

In other words, DON’T PICK AND CHOOSE WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO BELIEVE IN THE WHOLE COUNSEL OF GOD’S WRITTEN ✡️📖✝️WORD (see Acts 20:27).

I would also like to add here, the warning given by the Apostle John in Revelation 18-19, which solidifies and backs up Deuteronomy 4:2–(I obviously added the emojis for effect):

(v18)”I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: ✨if anyone adds ✨to them, God will add to him the 💥plagues 💥described in this book, (v19) and if ✨anyone takes away ✨from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will 💥take away 💥his share in the Tree of Life and in the Holy City, which are described in this 📖book.”

The blatant disrespect for God’s Word, and the rebellious ways I have seen and heard some so-called “Christian” churches in the 21st century handle God’s Word (truly most of them are the Laodicean churches mentioned in Revelation 3:14-19!)–it is only BY the LORD Jesus’ blood that HE shed on the Cross for us ALL, that keeps certain individual church leaders ALIVE, allowing them to WAKE UP the next day, in order to REPENT before God’s mercy ENDS for them!!

Those rabbinical and church leaders seem to forget (and I won’t put all those biblical verses here–you can look it up for yourselves) just HOW MUCH they are going to be held RESPONSIBLE and ACCOUNTABLE for NOT heeding the Word of God themselves, AND also, for not TEACHING and PREACHING the whole counsel of God to their congregations! As the Lord Jesus Himself said, “Everyone to whom MUCH was given, of him MUCH MORE will be required…” (Luke 12:48).

Those servants of God who dared to preach and teach His Word, YET, who instead of led MILLIONS (and for those false teachers/prophets/cult leaders–BILLIONS) to their eternal death, BECAUSE they refused to HUMBLY ADHERE TO and PREACH the whole counsel of God, THEIR ETERNAL DESTINATION will be the LAKE 🔥of 🔥FIRE, UNLESS THEY REPENT.

I am making this a LONG post THIS time on purpose, in order take the time out to make you, the reader, realize HOW SERIOUS it is to take God’s Word AS TRUTH, especially if you call yourself a “Christian”. This will stay on my page, and I will also add it to my blog page (see my bio for link), so others can see and read it, in order to go back and reference all the Scriptural verses as I present many more posts that deal with all types of demonic doorways, infiltrations, infestations into people’s lives, vexations, obsessions, oppressions, and sometimes even possessions (that can only be dealt with the person being exorcised and delivered by professional exorcists and deliverance workers by that point).

The Holy Spirit is the one SINCE the time of PENTECOST (Acts 2), to DWELL IN and work THROUGH every person who TRULY has “called upon the name of the LORD to be saved” (Joel 2:32; Acts 2:21). It is HE, the same SPIRIT, Who works IN and through ME (see Act 2:38)–and every other true servant of the Most High God, BECAUSE that is the GIFT we all receive when we become true children of God. He SPEAKS to all those WILLING to HEAR what He has to say (see such verses as Eze. 3:27; Matt. 11:15; Mk. 4:23; Rev. 2:7, 11; 3:6; 13:9).

The Holy Spirit, Who is GOD in the THIRD PERSON of the TRIUNE GODHEAD, is responsible for CONVICTING (see Jn. 16:8), teaching, correcting, chastising, comforting, encouraging, emboldening, etc. (see Jn. 14:16-17, 26; 15:26-27; 16:13) each and every CHILD of GOD that confesses Jesus as Lord (see Jn. 3:3, 5, 7; Jn. 1:12).

WE who confess to be children of the Most High God and our Lord Jesus Christ–our bodies become HIS TEMPLE (see 1 Corinthians 3:16-17; 6:19; Eph. 2:21) that the LIVING SPIRIT of GOD dwells in.

HOPEFULLY now you will realize how serious it is to not only call yourself a Christian, but more importantly, to BELIEVE and ACCEPT (even though we do NOT understand ALL that God says and does in His Word and in our daily faith walk with Him–we cannot possibly understand it all–see Isaiah 55:8-9) the WHOLE COUNSEL of His Word, TRUSTING that in time, the Spirit (if you give Him the opportunity TO speak to you) WILL teach and explain these things to you, that you do not comprehend in God’s Word.

IN ORDER for a person to completely be SET FREE and DELIVERED from any and all mental (because it always starts with those fiery darts!), emotional, physical, and obviously SPIRITUAL demonic bondages, a person MUST HUMBLE THEMSELVES, forsake ANY and ALL other false belief systems/pagan practices/gods, etc. –EVEN the false or exaggerated traditions that have transpired in certain Christian churches/circles, etc.–REPENT of our sins (see Romans 3:10,20, 23; 6:23) CONFESS those sins (Rom. 10:9-10), calling upon the name of the LORD to be saved (Rom. 10:13), and ALLOW the LORD God through the HOLY SPIRIT to CLEANSE you from your sins (see 1 John 1:9) through CONFESSION of them, WASH you in the WATER of God’s Word (see Eph. 5:26), rid you of all those evil, demonic strongholds that have been keeping you deaf, dumb, and blind to God’s truth in His Word.

ONCE you truly do that, you WILL be a child of God; you WILL have “put off the works of darkness and (have) put on the armor of light (Rom. 13:12), and MOST importantly, having the HOLY SPIRIT of God IN you, to work THROUGH you, you would have then “…put on the LORD JESUS CHRIST, and make no provision for the FLESH, to gratify its desires” (Rom. 13:14) in you any longer!!

ONCE an individual has “put on” and IN themselves, the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord of their lives, they THEN will receive the gift of the Ruach HaKodesh–the HOLY SPIRIT to DWELL IN them (and ONLY then, will they receive Him–that is how you know WHO truly is a child of the King–by the spiritual CHANGES that happen in their lives!). That person WILL allow their spirit, soul (mind, will, intellect), AND body (see 1 Thessalonians 5:23 to see that we ARE made up OF PRIMARILY, spirit, THEN soul, THEN our fleshly COVERING–NOT the opposite way like the demonic world makes humans think it is!) to come under the RULE of the HOLY SPIRIT, Who is ONE with the FATHER and the SON.

EPHESIANS 4:4-6 spell it out for us as well how we are to be ONE with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, AND HIS WORD–that CANNOT be left out–(after all, does John 1:1,14 tell us plainly that CHRIST IS THE literal and living WORD OF GOD?) –and I’ll end the post with this passage, and interject within the passage as well:

“There is ONE BODY and ONE SPIRIT (any other spirit that exists in a person’s body is a DEMONIC SPIRIT)–just as you were CALLED to the ONE HOPE (JESUS) that belongs to your call–
ONE LORD, ONE FAITH, ONE BAPTISM, ONE GOD and Father of ALL, Who is over all, and THROUGH all, and IN ALL (of His children).”

Allow the Holy Spirit to Convict, Chastise, and Deliver You!

Beloved— I cannot stress enough how vitally important it is not only to accept the Lord Jesus into your life, but along with having Him in your life as your Savior, you must accept Him as your LORD and MASTER of your life.

Because as it is 📖written there is both a SPIRITUAL REALM and a PHYSICAL REALM in this universe-we are stuck in an ongoing spiritual battle.
Hence the necessity for the Holy Spirit to enter into you, to cleanse and deliver you from the evil, for the spiritual good of your soul and spirit.

HOWEVER— without a true commitment and total surrender of every aspect of your life so that the Holy Spirit can start to work in you— meaning if you do not commit to read, learn, study, meditate on His WORD—in a biblical way, allowing the Holy Spirit to lovingly CHASTISE and CORRECT whatever wrong teachings or practices you were taught or heard about—He cannot completely DELIVER YOU from any and all demonic infestations, influences, etc. that have been in you up until the time of your salvation and new birth in Christ.

SINCERELY ASK the Holy Spirit to help you CONFESS all wrong thinking, lies and deceit of the enemy, ungodly lifestyles, mannerisms, etc. that you have allowed to become part of your life. Plead the BLOOD OF CHRIST over your life, and REBUKE the evil spirits that have kept you bound and in spiritual strongholds up until this point in your life.

Have the Holy Spirit cast out of you all that evil—it may take some time (and a LOT of effort, prayer, and patience on your part)-whether it’s weeks, months, etc— if you commit to having the Lord Jesus, deliver you from any and all sins, HE WILL DELIVER YOU!🙌📖❤️✝️

If you need prayer, guidance, counseling or more information about being delivered from any past sins, etc.
please do not hesitate to contact your local parish priest, biblically based pastor, one of the really excellent exorcists like Monsignor Stephen Rosetti, who has online deliverance zoom sessions, or even a deliverance minister like myself. The Lord has equipped some of us to deal with such issues, so we can lend a helping hand in having the Holy Spirit deliver people, and set them free in the name of Jesus!🙏🙌❤️✡️📖✝️🕊️

Are You Willing to Finally Trust in God‘s Word in Order for Him to Set You Free?

I can’t tell you how much of a blessing it is to be used by the Lord God to attempt to help those suffering with spiritual bondages and demonic strongholds to BREAK FREE through the power of God’s Word, the Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.

I have written about and shared many of my spiritual experiences in my life, the good, the bad, and the ugly ones! The Lord allowed certain spiritual experiences to happen to me so it would ready me for the calling He had on my life. Once I finally accepted that calling, He continued to prepare me even more with the knowledge, understanding, even more personal experiences, so that one day I would finally be as ready as I could be to help those who suffer with spiritual issues and demonic bondages.

BUT— the biggest obstacle that stands in the way from a human being having that supernatural breakthrough and those chains off of them mentally, emotionally, behaviorally, and physically—is finally ACCEPTING the REALITY of the SPIRITUAL REALM in this world, and realizing that MOST of the continual issues and struggles that we humans go through, are of a SPIRITUAL NATURE.

Why spiritual? Because we are CREATED beings, that are primarily SPIRIT—that have a SOUL (mind, will, intellect), and are covered with a fleshly BODY.

The LAST THING that the devil, his angels, and the demonic unclean spirits that roam about this world, “SEEKING WHOM THEY MAY DEVOUR” want us humans to realize and accept, is that THEY ARE REAL REAL, and THEY are the ROOT of most of our problems in this world!

If we decided to take the Word of God seriously, and even believe and accept all that is said about the spiritual realm in the Scriptures— even the very things that the Lord Jesus himself spoke of— we would then have a greater understanding and opportunity to COMBAT these spiritual evil forces within our own individual lives, as well as what is going on in this world, and finally we would be able to DEFEAT THEM WITH THE POWER AND AUTHORITY THAT WAS GIVEN TO US IN GOD’S WORD BY THE LORD JESUS CHRIST!!

No matter what that spiritual stronghold is, we would be able to defeat it, and be overcomers in the name of Jesus! Little by little, us humans could finally take back our lives and live victoriously and confidently in this world, having God’s 📖Word leading and guiding us, and protecting us from those evil ones!!

But the sad truth is — most people, even Christians, refuse to acknowledge what the Bible says about the spiritual realm, and basically call the Lord God a LIAR by NOT TAKING HIM AT HIS📖WORD.

What about you? Are you finally willing to accept God’s 📖 Truth, and take back your life and be SET FREE from those spiritual bondages? 🙏✝️

LISTEN to the Voice and Teachings of the Holy Spirit!

I did not expect this post to be this long when I initially was sharing this video, but when the Holy Spirit has something to say–I don’t hinder Him from “speaking” through me via these posts, so here you go…

https://youtube.com/shorts/0mezsV0-kxg?si=-LIylbFwi8SatRJV

As the late great Dr. Michael Heiser stated, the early Church fathers knew the truth and TAUGHT it, yet somehow down through the centuries the traditions took over = the church leaders got sloppy with no longer properly exegeting biblical texts, in order to interpret them correctly according to CONTEXT.

FOR EXAMPLE, what is being spoken about in this very short video–
The erroneous notion of fallen angels being the demons is widely known, taught, and accepted within many Christian sects of the Body of Christ.

BUT–it is WRONG. Just because they taught it to you, doesn’t mean you blindly accept it. YES–the church leaders (whatever title they fall under–rabbi, priest, pastor, bishop, etc.) ARE and WILL BE HELD RESPONSIBLE and ACCOUNTABLE for NOT properly teaching the Word 📖of God–the WHOLE✡️📖✝️WORD of God–from GENESIS through REVELATION!!

BUT we who PROFESS to be Christians, are ALSO held equally responsible for reading and studying God’s Word on our OWN! Some church leasers down through the millennia, have discouraged reading the Bible because of how one may wrongly interpret the passages; other leaders used it to control their congregations (let’s be honest!), and only taught them what they wanted them to know!

📖If one looks at such verses as Luke 12:12, John 14:26, 15:26, 16:13, and pretty much all of the book of ACTS, one will see just how much the HOLY 🕊️SPIRIT was saying, teaching, and doing WITHIN the BORN AGAIN BELIEVERS of the Church after Christ’s resurrection and ascension into Heaven. It was and IS, HE that continues to teach and guide the person who confessed Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior (Rom. 3:10,23; 10:9-10, 13), became a child of God (Jn. 1:12) and who received the Holy Spirit (Jn 20:22; Acts 1:8; 2:4, 33,38) in order to become BORN AGAIN (Jn. 3:3,5,7) SPIRIT-FILLED believers of God.

OH–and as far as “interpretations” and “versions” of the Bible that many people use as excuses to either NOT read or study, or say it all lends to confusion and division of the Body of Christ–you’re partially correct–the devil and his angels (Matt. 25:41), along with those demonic entities that “roam about, seeking whom they may devour” (1 Peter 5:8) know that if you do NOT resist him in your FAITH (1 Peter 5:9), wearing the armor of God daily (Eph. 6:10-18), and USE the authority given to you the believer by the Lord Jesus Christ to tread on those demonic serpents (like the one in Genesis 3!) and scorpions (see Luke 10:19), you WILL be deceived into thinking that there are errors and contradictions in Scripture, and will end up NOT taking God’s 📖Word as TRUTH (Jn. 17:17; see also Ps. 119:9-11, 105). REMEMBER–God’s Word is “firmly fixed in the heavens” (Ps. 119:89).

SO– humbly learn His Word via HIS HOLY🕊️ SPIRIT (even if there was no one to teach you, as I had no one in my family or anyone good enough in my parishes as a child–so 1 John 2:27 came into play for me, until I sat under good biblical teaching many years later), learning to “rightly divide the Word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15), because as the Apostle Paul wrote, “All Scripture is breathed out (pneuma/ruach) by God and profitable for teaching, for REPROOF, for correction, and for TRAINING in RIGHTEOUSNESS, that the man/woman of God may be COMPLETE (perfect), equipped for every good work” (2 Tim. 3:16-17).

BECAUSE–IF one is NOT fully surrendered and wholeheartedly following the Lord Jesus Christ, confessing Him as Savior AND Lord of their lives, living that faith life out, and filled with the HOLY 🕊️SPIRIT–it is guaranteed and confirmed via SCRIPTURE that OTHER evil spirits (which are 👿DEMONS who NEED a human BODY in order to carry out their evil works!) ARE or WILL be in a human being–whether that person is a baby, child, teenager, or adult. To the demons, IT DOESN’T MATTER who they are in–as long as they can “steal, kill, and DESTROY” (Jn. 10:10) human beings in order to spite the LORD GOD and what He allowed His Son to do for us on the Cross–which IS the ONLY WAY back to the Father (Jn. 14:6).

Don’t believe me? LOOK 📖up what the LORD JESUS said when referring to evil spirits needing a “home” (= host human body) in Matthew 12:43-45 and Luke 11:24-26. The FACT that both MATTHEW and LUKE recorded it in their Gospels should make you realize how serious this is. It’s also interesting how the Lord Jesus says at the end of that passage, “SO ALSO WILL IT BE WITH THIS EVIL GENERATION” (Matt. 12:45). OH how true that is TODAY!! But much is covered up by calling such demonic infestations, vexations, oppression, obsessions, and possessions, “mental or behavioural health” issues…🙄😣🙁 Thank God for the few good exorcists and deliverance workers that are out there, recognizing the demonic workings in people, and are hard at work setting these people free from their 👿strongholds!🙏❤️✝️

📖IF one looks closely at Genesis 6:1-4, and with proper reading of the ancient languages (Hebrew, in this case, and Greek in the Septuagint), studying each word and putting the pieces of the Scriptural 📖🧩puzzle together along with other passages that speak of the rebellious angels and their OFFSPRING, the Nephilim, and also the Rephaim (just to name a few: Num 13:32-33; Deut. 1:4; Genesis 11 paired with Deut. 32:8 and Daniel 10; 2Peter 2:4 along with Jude 1:6 and 1 Corinthians 10:20-22), AND coupled with reading the ENTIRE Bible–WITH the help and guidance of the Holy🕊️Spirit, a diligent Bible student can and WILL start to see a very SPIRITUAL picture form within what initially can seem and feel like, a very shocking and unnerving discovery of what REALLY is, and always has been, in God’s Word that has NOT been taught by most modern Judeo-Christian synagogue/church leaders.

Some churches ignore the majority of the Old Testament, and only preach what is in the New Testament. By doing that, the lay church member has NO CLUE on the HISTORY of ISRAEL, for example, and how the LORD God commanded Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob to lead their people to the Promised Land that GOD HIMSELF gave them! That’s like telling God that half of what He had His people share with us down through the ages was JUNK!😱🫢

Many church leaders think that books like 1 and 2 Maccabees and 1 Enoch have no spiritual weight to them, and discourage their congregations from reading or studying such books.
But if one were to go ahead and read those books, they would find a plethora of information on not only Israel’s history and leadership, especially dealing with the 400 years of “silence” between Malachi and Matthew, but also when it comes to the book of 1Enoch (NOTICE how I am mentioning 1 ENOCH–NOT 2nd or3rd), one would find passages in there VERBATIM to what was in Genesis 6!

And YET–the ignorance and shunning of such books continues throughout today’s modern, Western-thinking church services. Traditions of some churches have as the Lord Jesus put it, “You leave the commandments of God and hold to the TRADITIONS of men” (Mark 7:8). Elsewhere, answering the Pharisees again, Jesus stated, “…thus making VOID the Word📖of God by your tradition that YOU HANDED DOWN…”(Mk. 7:13).

Not all tradition is bad; some of it is very good. Paul tells us in such passages as 2 Thessalonians 3:6 to “keep away from any brother who is walking in idleness and NOT IN ACCORD WITH THE TRADITION that you received from us.” What tradition is Paul talking about? The testimony he gave in 1 Corinthians 15, for example, how “Christ died for our sins IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SCRIPTURES…” (1 Cor. 15:3).

KEEP asking the Holy 🕊️Spirit to OPEN your spiritual EYES, EARS, HEART and MIND, to learn and UNDERSTAND “what the Spirit is saying” (Rev. 2:7), by having “ears to hear” (Matthew 11:15) HIS VOICE over what man may be teaching or preaching in error. ASK for DISCERNMENT so that you can know the TRUTH, and avoid following the ERRORS that have been handed down to us.

THAT way, the Scriptures that seem like a daunting, billion-piece🧩🧩🧩 puzzle😖may then start to be put together piece by piece for you, with the help of the Holy Spirit leading and guiding you (Jn. 16:13) as you read and study God’s 📖Word–ALL of God’s Word.

THEN–one day, the Scriptures that seemed to be an enormous 🧩puzzle, no longer will be so confusing and intimidating to you, as you begin to RECOGNIZE the PICTURE😉that God painted on the tapestry of His Biblical LOVE Story that He longed to share with us. BUT–you MUST read ALL of it–OT and NT; you must learn to seek out WHICH apocryphal (like 1 and 2 Maccabees) and pseudepigraphal books (like 1Enoch) to read IN ADDITION to (and NOT substituting for) the entire Word ✡️📖✝️of God.

NOW go get your 📖Bible, pray up and ask the Holy 🕊️Spirit to lead and guide you in what you are about to read, and PUT more pieces of that🧩PUZZLE together! 😊🧩✡️📖✝️🕊️

NEW YEAR, NEWNESS of LIFE in CHRIST

Jeannette Elizabeth Geist-MarcelliLeave a comment

HAPPY New Year, everyone!

WHAT a year it has BEEN! I don’t know about you all, but the last four months or so were “nail-biting”—not knowing what the LORD God was going to allow the United States to go through—another four years of hell, sending us into a depression (we ARE in a recession NOW), or, would He have an extra dose of MERCY on the U.S, and allow a true leader who cares for our country, to finally (once again) take over?

No one really knew what to think for a while. But thankfully, many people made the right decision on November 5th, and in a few weeks, this nation will be in the hands of President Donald J. Trump once again, with First Lady Melania Trump at his side. Honestly, most of us in this nation (including many who never thought they’d vote for him, but they did because they love this country and the freedoms we have here!) will breath a BIG sigh of relief once the Trumps move back into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue!

As far as what has been going on SPIRITUALLY, in my short almost-60 years here on this planet, I have NEVER seen so much demonic activity as I have in these last four years!! What an uptick it has been since the time of the “lockdown” in 2020. When you deal with the supernatural as much as I do, you cannot help but notice those type of things. Some exorcists I follow online (FB, YT) have said the same thing—evil has definitely increased, and just because there will be a new “sheriff” in town at the White House, doesn’t mean that those who are propagating that evil, will take a few steps back and cool their jets. Unfortunately, it most likely will be the opposite that happens.

But nevertheless, the LORD GOD MOST HIGH is, and always been, ON His Throne, with His Son, the Lord Jesus at His right Hand, and the Holy Spirit dwelling in His true believers—those who have accepted Him as their Savior and Lord, and allow HIS SPIRIT to rule in and through them.

For those who walk in that “newness of life” in Christ (see pic), we know that ultimately it is HE-the HOLY SPIRIT Who not only reigns IN us, but works THROUGH us (Jn. 16:13; Rom. 8:9; 1 Cor. 3:16; 6:16,19; Gal. 4:6; 2 Tim. 1:14) in many different ways. It is THROUGH US, God’s children, that He works, to get His Word out there to the lost and dying evil world system that has engulfed humanity to the point of the evil ones seeking, killing and destroying (Jn. 10:10) every last one of us, IF those demonic entities could go so far. Thankfully, they cannot, because of the restraining power of the Holy Spirit (2 Thess. 2:6-8) that currently is in this world, UNTIL the “man of sin”—the AntiChrist, is allowed by the LORD God to rule for a short time at the End of Days.

The ONE main thing we children of God must remember on this, the first day of 2025 and going forward into this year, is what the Apostle Paul stated in the above verse from Romans 6:4. Christ’s death on the Cross led to Him being RESURRECTED, so that WE who are His (Ephesians 2:9-10; John 1:12; Galatians 3:26), have also been born again spiritually, (Jn. 3:3,5,7), made into a new creation in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17), and have His Spirit AND His Word IN us, in order TO keep us from sinning (1Jn. 2:1; Gal. 5:16; Ps. 19:12-13; 119:9-11). THEN, as we grow IN the Lord and have the Holy Spirit rule and reign within us, we WILL be victorious in walking IN that “newness of LIFE” that has been made alive in us by belief and FAITH in the Lord Jesus Christ and His 📖Word!❤️

I pray that 2025 will be a renewed time of grace, mercy, peace, health, and prosperity for each and every one of you. And for those who have yet to seek the Lord Jesus out, my prayer for you is that you SEEK and FIND Him TODAY, because when you DO diligently SEEK Him out, you WILL find Him (Deut. 4:29; 1 Chron. 16:11; Ps. 9:10; Jeremiah 29:13; Matt. 6:33; Heb. 11:6). Remember, as it is WRITTEN, “The LORD is GOOD to those who WAIT for Him, to the soul who SEEKS Him” (Lamentations 3:25). It is WHEN we truly SEEK Him we FIND Him, and only then when we will finally walk in that NEWNESS of LIFE in Him here, and for all ✨Eternity✨. 🙏🏼❤️📖✝️
