The document discusses resisting evil and the devil based on passages from the Bible. It describes the devil as a deceiver who tempts humans to sin and doubts God. The devil's goal is to steal, kill and destroy. However, Christians have power over the devil through faith in God and by putting on spiritual armor like truth, righteousness, salvation and prayer. Believers can stand against the devil and attack his strongholds through prayer and godly action.

____________________________________________________________________
Are You Ready to CRUSH IT? You can do so with Christianity!
How can you Crush this journey called "Life" if Heaven is never realized?
How does "no Heaven" = Victory? It's doesn't! Losing team, right? Right!
Is it true only so-called "Good" people make it to Heaven?
Can You know for sure you will make it to Heaven? You can Know!
In this course, I’m going to take you step-by-step through a success formula which will not leave you the same person. Nor will it leave you standing on the outside of Heaven’s gates when this thing is all said and done.
No my friend! This course is going to show you the narrow way to life. Life without discovering life is not success, is it? By no means!
So, the first step: We’re going to talk about “having ears to hear.” This is necessary if you are going to make a right assessment regarding who you are, why you are here and where you are going. The only personal transformation which will matter in the end is a new creation! I’m going to show you how to get there and I’m confident you will have the ears to hear as we go over, together—this all important information for those who have ears to hear.
The second step involves changing your mind. Any person who is truly wise understands from where this wisdom comes. They adjust their thinking in order to be aligned with this wisdom. In step 2, let’s celebrate wisdom together as I encourage you to change your mind regarding its important aspects.
Once we get into Step 3, it will be time to get serious about your soul to make sure you are not gambling with it. Did you ever here, “craps!” Well, if you have or haven’t, you don’t want to come up short and bust out when it comes to your soul. You will be encouraged in this step to make the right decision—regarding your soul—in this formula of success.
Step 4 brings you to a place of reality-checking. We look over what is required to have success in the way of transformation and heaven. Taking a leap of blind faith isn’t required when you have good, solid evidence and reasons to take an active step of trust. You do it every day and in this step, you will be encouraged as I get into the trenches with you so you can surface, shining like gold!
Finally in Step 5, we’re going to make sure you proceed in a manner which will guarantee your success. Success involves victory and having a game plan. This step will give you that game plan.

Updated! Pay attention throughout all the slides, and the hidden keys within.
Put all the jigsaw puzzle pieces of gold together. You might miss the hidden messages at first so keep going over the slides very carefully, you will be surprised by what may suddenly jump out at you. Be your eyes opened. From Kenneth Andre of Spirit. And remember this, everything I do is for a reason!
The Destruction of America::"Behold, the name of the Lord cometh from far, burning with his anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devour-ing fire. And the Lord shall cause his glo-rious voice to be heard, and shall shew the lighting down of his arm, with the indig-nation of his anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, and tem-pest, and hailstones" (Isaiah 30:27,30).
"Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the Lord" (Jeremiah 8:7).
America is going to be destroyed by fire! Sudden destruction is coming and few will escape. Unexpect-edly, and in one hour, a hydrogen holocaust will engulf America—and this nation will be no more.
It is because America has sinned against the great-est light. Other nations are just as sinful, but none are as flooded with gospel light as ours. God is going to judge America for its violence, its crimes, its backslid-ings, its murdering of millions of babies, its flaunting of homosexuality and sadomasochism, its corruption,its drunkenness and drug abuse, its form of godliness without power, its lukewarmness toward Christ, its rampant divorce and adultery, its lewd pornography, its child molestations, its cheatings, its robbings, its dirty movies, and its occult practices.
In one hour it will all be over. To the natural mind it is insanity to come against a prosperous, powerful nation and cry out, "It's all over! Judgment is at the door! Our days are numbered!" The church is asleep, the congregations are at ease, and the shepherds slumber. How they will scoff and laugh at this mes-sage. Theologians will reject it because they can't fit it into their doctrine. The pillow prophets of peace and prosperity will publicly denounce it.
Jonah 1:1-3. Jonah told by God to go preach to Nineveh
Went by boat to Tarshish instead
Storm came up, Jonah thrown overboard
Swallowed by great fish, then spit out on land
Jonah told again to preach to Nineveh
Jonah tells God he didn’t want to preach to Nineveh because he knew God would forgive them if they repented
They repented and God forgave them
Jonah was angry & went outside the city to see what would happen
God caused a gourd to grow up and give him shade
A worm caused the plant to die & Jonah was angry
God asked Jonah if it was right for him to be angry about the plant, Jonah said yes
God said, should I not pity the 120,000 souls in Nineveh

V. OUR OWN COMFORT IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN OUR CONCERN FOR OTHERS

We’re Wrestling Who? - Ephesians 6:10-13David Turner
Our battles are not against flesh and blood. Our battles are against Principalities and Powers. These adversaries are much bigger than us and cannot be defeated by our own strength. In Ephesians 6:10-13 Paul identifies who we are really wrestling with and follows up with advice on how to compete to gain victory. For this and other PowerPoint Presentations go to www.Bibleguy.org.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

How can I resist evil?
1. How can I resist evil? This material is used with permission on www.mygospelweb.net
2. ‘ As far as God goes, I am a non-believer…but when it comes to the devil –well that’s something else …the devil keeps advertising….the devil does lots of advertising’ William Peter Blatty
3. Isaiah 14:12-23 "How you are fallen from heaven, O shining star, son of the morning! You have been thrown down to the earth, you who destroyed the nations of the world. For you said to yourself, 'I will ascend to heaven and set my throne above God's stars. I will preside on the mountain of the gods far away in the north. I will climb to the highest heavens and be like the Most High.' But instead, you will be brought down to the place of the dead, down to its lowest depths. Everyone there will stare at you and ask, 'Can this be the one who shook the earth and the kingdoms of the world? Is this the one who destroyed the world and made it into a wilderness? Is this the king who demolished the world's greatest cities and had no mercy on his prisoners?' "The kings of the nations lie in stately glory in their tombs, but you will be thrown out of your grave like a worthless branch. Like a corpse trampled underfoot, you will be dumped into a mass grave with those killed in battle. You will descend to the pit. You will not be given a proper burial, for you have destroyed your nation and slaughtered your people. Your son will not succeed you as king. Kill the children of this sinner! Do not let them rise and conquer the land or rebuild the cities of the world." This is what the LORD Almighty says: "I, myself, have risen against him! I will destroy his children and his children's children, so they will never sit on his throne. I will make Babylon into a desolate land, a place of porcupines, filled with swamps and marshes. I will sweep the land with the broom of destruction. I, the LORD Almighty, have spoken!"
4. Job 1 “ One day the angels came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan the Accuser came with them. "Where have you come from?" the LORD asked Satan. And Satan answered the LORD, "I have been going back and forth across the earth, watching everything that's going on."

6. “ Stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities…against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms” Ephesians 6:11-12
7.
8. ‘ The Devil only tempts those souls that wish to abandon sin…the other belong to him: he has no need to tempt them.’ Jean-Baptise Vianney 2. The early church fathers did
9. 3. Common sense confirms the existence of the devil Some say the devils’s been Some say the devil’s gone But simple people Like you and me Would like to know who carries the business on?
10. ‘ There are two equal and opposite errors into which our race can fall about the devils’. One is to disbelieve in their existence. The other is to believe, and feel an excessive and unhealthy interest in them. They themselves are equally pleased by both errors and hail a materialist or a magician with the same delight’ C.S. Lewis
11.

13. ‘ The god of this age [the devil] has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God’ 2 Corinthians 4:4
14. Genesis 3 Now the serpent was the shrewdest of all the creatures the LORD God had made. "Really?" he asked the woman. "Did God really say you must not eat any of the fruit in the garden?" "Of course we may eat it," the woman told him. "It's only the fruit from the tree at the center of the garden that we are not allowed to eat. God says we must not eat it or even touch it, or we will die." "You won't die!" the serpent hissed. "God knows that your eyes will be opened when you eat it. You will become just like God, knowing everything, both good and evil." The woman was convinced. The fruit looked so fresh and delicious, and it would make her so wise! So she ate some of the fruit. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her. Then he ate it, too. At that moment, their eyes were opened, and they suddenly felt shame at their nakedness. So they strung fig leaves together around their hips to cover themselves. Toward evening they heard the LORD God walking about in the garden, so they hid themselves among the trees. The LORD God called to Adam, "Where are you?" He replied, "I heard you, so I hid. I was afraid because I was naked."

20. How do we defend ourselves? ‘ put on the full armour of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes’ Ephesians 6:11
21. ‘ Stand your ground, putting on the sturdy belt of truth and the body armor of God's righteousness. For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News, so that you will be fully prepared. In every battle you will need faith as your shield to stop the fiery arrows aimed at you by Satan. Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.’ Ephesians 6:14-17
