I am so excited that our good friends came down to visit us for the July 4th weekend. We stayed up till 2a.m. playing Foosball and just cutting up. They arrived about 8:30p.m. We ate burgers and enchiladas. It was all so good. I get so excited when they come because I miss the fellowships we had when we were down there. We laugh more then talk it seems like, These are our best friends, friends that would drive up over 600 miles to visit.
I want to publicly say to them, Thank You For being our friends DeLeon's, We will miss you guys when you leave.

So much anger
It seems no matter were you are whether in the church house or in the streets there is much anger. My wife's cousin; a police officer with the Harlingen Police Dept. was shot multiple times in an ambush. We thank God that He is recovering well after surgery, but he is still awaiting more surgery to remove more bullet fragments from his body. Please remember him in your prayers, and not only them but all peace officers as well. Some are very critical of officers but most will not take there jobs. I have 3 friends in the Jennings Police force and I pray that God keep them safe.

Prayer request
I would appreciate you all pray for Tod, he went to the doctor today. He had suffered heat exhaustion and lost some electrolytes and it took a toll on his body. I am going fishing with him on Thursday and I need him healthy. Not for fishing but because I don't want to carry him through the bush, (get out of the bush). By the way Tod is Nicole's little friend,

A Jr Church
I preached Sunday morning to the Children yesterday on Death, Before I started to preach I asked the kids what they thought about what I was about to preach and to my amazement not one child wanted me to preach on that, they were so scared, But I told them I had to, Because it is a reality. I started with 2 Samuel 14:14 For we must needs die, and are as water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; neither doth God respect any person: yet doth he devise means, that his banished be not expelled from him.
This verse captivated my heart. I explained to those kids that when the appointment comes to die not even God will stop this appointment. This verse says that God will not make a devise to stop this death. Today Doctors try hard with many devises to keep a man alive, but no man can intervene,
Now I know of those that God healed at what seemed like the door of death, Those I believe were not appointments, and if it was then it contradicts scripture, and I believe that God does not go against his word.
It seems that sickness brings people closer to God, if only they stayed close once those they pray for get sick.
There are many today that try to find the fountain of youth, they spend countless amount of money to stay alive or live long, But Scripture says; Ecclesiastes 8:8 There is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither hath he power in the day of death: and there is no discharge in that war; neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it.
;Neither hath he power in the day of death: many today needs to come to grips with this day.
You see with out Jesus You will die and go to Hell, But when you get saved and that appointed time comes, I believe God will veil our eyes, give us what I can express as dieing Grace.
Now I preached different to what I just posted, but the thought has not escaped me, I guess this is why I posted this thought this morning.

THE SEA WAS ANGRY THAT DAY MY FREIND
We had what was probably the scariest time today, I am just glad that I am alive to blog about it today. We decided to go fishing late today, about 2pm to be exact. We got on Bro. Tweets boat with Cindy and off course the kids in Tod's boat, We got to the tree tops and fished a little and caught a few, nothing to brag about. And then the lighting came, and close and very loud. we untied and off we went, we were about 15 miles from the landing so we booked it. Tod was close behind, Then the rain came and it came down hard and thee lighting was fierce, it felt like rocks were being thrown at us, the rain was hard my friend, We could not go to the landing due to the 5 boats ready to get out and so we headed under the Mermetau Bridge for cover. We all tied down and waited, Well the Lighting was getting closer and louder, then a lighting hit a tree about 30 yds from us and the shock wave was loud and hard, we felt the bridge shake and fill with static, one lighting after another, we wuz scared, The rain let up and we headed for the landing and as fast as we could loaded both boats and went to the store in town to get some treats, bad mistake, we were there for a little bit, but enough for what happened next. We saw what was I can only describe as the thickest loudest lighting we have ever seen, and at that they were multiple bolts, I mean "BANG BANG BANG" WE TOOK OFF FOR THE CROSSING OF THE BRIDGE,
Mistake number 2, I didn't mention that Cindy was driving and as we approached the bridge we could see, and then the wind right in the middle of the bridge got so ferocious and the rain came down and hail all at the same time, we could not see nothing, we were in the back seat freaking out, Melinda was so scared," Why you say". because we were in the middle of the road in the pitch white rain and wind and hail, Tweet was yelling get in the side, she was like I cant see, Melinda was like were are the kids, I cant see Tod's truck, I was like Cindy listen to me and get on the side, we couldn't tell if a car or truck was coming on the other side, I from the back had to maneuver the vehicle with left, right , straight, slow down all the way down because I could see the ledge from the back window, We finally made it down and parked for about 20 minutes. needless to say we made it. What a ride.

The 3 day weekend
Had what could be the most packed weekend I have had here in Louisiana. It all started Saturday morning, we went fishing for the first time on a boat. A bass boat that is, Brother Tweet took us and his wife on his boat a Ranger boat with a 150hp and Diana along with John went with Tod on his John boat with a 40hp engine, it was awesome we all caught fish and Diana caught her first bass fish also. it was alot of fun, cant wait to go again. We went with Preacher and Miss Howard to the Pitt Grill were we ate buffet, laterTweet, Cindy and Tod joined us, after that we went to the river just to go park and have fellowship. Sunday was church time and it was good, God gave liberty and the Spirit of God moved. The whole church has been praying for Brother Bob, He had surgery last week on his hernia and it woke up a sleeping giant; Cancer, They found cancer spread to his liver and then crippled him down in ICU, Sunday during church the call came in that the cancer spread to his lungs and went in to organ shut down, after church me and the preacher went to Lafayette, to the hospital and met with the family, We prayed for him and wepted as well, he was able to recognize us and tried to speak to me and preacher, He saw me and called me Big John, broke my heart and prayed for him, I later went to see Brother Dickie who was praying in the chapel and my heart broke for him, Brother Bob was his favorite uncle, I can say that while he was in ICU he was witnessing to other patients and Doctors, He was in touch with the other world though because we heard him calling on Jesus, Just asking him for help, About 5p.m. he went on to be with the Lord. Please pray for his family, he does have children that are wayward and need the Lord. He was married for 3 months so please pray for his wife, she also lost her first husband to cancer and Brother Bobs 1st wife died of cancer too. The children of both sides need much prayer,
Well today ended the 3 day weekend, last week I had mentioned to Brother Steve, the one that plays piano and sings awesome, of the desire I had to take my son John shooting one day. Me and John do not do much together so I figured that this would spark an interest, well Brother Steve asked if we wanted to go with him shooting at the rifle range. We agreed and met today, off course me nor John have a gun but Brother Steve said he would lend us his 22 rifle. He brought a Ethica short 22 rifle that was a single shot, he also brought a pump action 22, it looked like a shotgun, that gun was awesome. and last he brought out a brand new Henry lever action 22 rifle. He taught John John the fundamental of shooting and John took off and did excellent. He shot alot of the targets. He made me proud and so did Brother Steve. Well afterwards as we were getting ready to leave Bro. Steve did an awesome thing, He gave me and John that brand new 22 rifle. Since we have moved to Jennings Brother Steve and his wife has been awesome to us and has blessed my family much, John has even become Sister Sharon's helper Sunday mornings for her before Sunday School. Brother Steve is truly a blessing to my family. And I want to publicly say thank you Brother,
Well this has been my weekend, it was filled with joy, sorrow, sadness, rewarding and Christian life growing.
Please don't forget to pray for the Charpentier Family.

The Lord Helped Me Through It
After 17 years I finally accomplished what I always wanted. I got my G.E.D. I am not sure what my scores are but the lady in the school dept. called and said I have excellent scores. I was expecting a letter in the mail but because she knew that I almost lost my chance to take the test due to work so she called me at work and gave me the good news. I was both excited and emotional that I started to cry. After the test I told my wife I didn't pass because it was so hard. I did do my best and answered to the best of my ability but I was not sure though, but I prayed and I believe that God interceded for me and gave me the ability too retain some knowledge that I learned at my night classes. My wife and daughter encouraged me alot by teaching me some algebra. You know what is so funny is that from th 6th grade till I dropped out in th 11th I never took one class of algebra not even beginners algebra. But thank you Lord for helping me.
I feel like a graduate now and not a drop out. I don't regret having to drop out because I did it to support my new family, but how great it is to finally catch up.

The Whole message on THE DOCTRINE oF DEVILS
God warns in the bible of these times. 1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
giving heed to seducing spirits; either to doctrines which are of a deceiving nature; or to men who profess to have the Spirit of God, and have not, but are evil men and seducers, deceiving, and being deceived; that lie in wait to deceive, and handle the word of God deceitfully; and by attending on the ministry of such persons, through hearing them, and conversing with them, the defection was to begin and spread; and therefore such should be carefully avoided, and their ministry shunned; nor should they be received, nor bid God speed.
And doctrines of devils; such as are devised by devils, as all damnable doctrines be; and all lying ones, for the devil is the father of them; and as are all the false doctrines introduced by Antichrist, for his coming was after the working of Satan; and particularly those doctrines of his concerning worshipping of angels, and saints departed, may be called the doctrines of devils, or of "demons"; being much the same with the demon worship among the Heathens, of which the devil was the inventor: unless by doctrines of devils should be meant the doctrines of men, who for their cunning and sophistry, for their lies and hypocrisy, for their malice, and murdering of the souls of men, are comparable to devils.
It is so prevalent it today of these evil gains today. I can’t stop to think that Jesus has to be coming soon. Israel celebrated their 60th birthday as being a nation this week. Some have thought that after the 1st generation or at the end of 45 yrs Jesus would have come. Now no Baptist preacher set 1993 as the return date but some did think on it. The bible clearly says that know man knows the time or the season but Jesus did leave some signs. I believe the J.W."s believed on the 93 date or the 94 but the claimed 64 and as for back as the late 1800s. I did a study on the Millerite charts and preached about it 2yrs ago in Abbeville. Now, no one knows the time but I like Paul and the other Apostles believe the time is soon. I have witnessed first hand people possessed by demons hear in Louisiana. I spoke to a young man last night that is so influenced by devils that he will go to hell convinced that God is just a energy and man just call this energy god. ALL this is the Doctrine of DEVILS!!!!!!Some of my family members died, I believe possessed by devils. The devil is a liar and the father of it. That old serpent is an adversary of God and man,1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:He is an opponent: or as the Greek writer would say,"An arch enemy of God."
It was Lucifer who said,” Isaiah 14:13-15 …….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. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
He said,” I will be like the most High”. In other words he wanted to be like God the Strong one. He wanted to be supreme or elevated above Others. Pride!!!
That old devil was not content to what he was created to be. A servant, A servant of the Lord.
It is unfortunate that most Christians in church are not content to their position. Most churches are run by deacons and committees rather than being led by the Pastor under the leadership of the Holy Ghost. And Jesus BEING THE HEAD OF THE CHURCH.
Most church’s are being run by the doctrine of devils.
Remender what I said earlier about this doctrine: being much the same with the demon worship among the Heathens, of which the devil was the inventor: unless by doctrines of devils should be meant the doctrines of men, who for their cunning and sophistry, for their lies and hypocrisy, for their malice, and murdering of the souls of men, are comparable to devils.
How many men today do you think are leading a congregation straight to hell?
This adversary, the devil is an opponent to you and God, an enemy.
The devil himself is the prince of devils: Matthew 12:24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.
The prince, meaning the magistrate or the ruler, the Bible calls him the:
Ephesians 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
Before we got saved this is who we walked by. It says the spirit that worketh in the children of disobedience.
Demon possession friend.
You just have to walk in to most schools today and see this so evident today.
Listen to what Jesus said in: John 14:30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.
thus plainly recognizing his rule over the earth. That he is a personage of rank and power we learn from Jude: "Michael, the arch-angel, when contending with the devil, he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing judgment, but said, The Lord rebuke thee" (Jude 1:9). He is also called the "god of this age" (2Co 4:4, margin), for men obey and worship him, even unconsciously, when they do not obey and worship the Creator.
The fallen archangel is moreover described as the "prince of the power of the air" (Eph 2:2), meaning wicked spiritual powers dwelling in the aerial heavens, for it seems the "Satanic confederation has its seat in the atmospheric heaven—in the spaces above and around our world" (Seiss). That the "prince of the power of the air" has power (when permission is granted) to wield the forces of the air we see in the history of Job; for at his bidding lightning fell from heaven to consume the flocks of the faithful servant of God, and he caused a wind to blow Job's house down and kill his children. In relation to his attacks upon the children of men the prince of this world is called the "tempter" (1Th 3:5), because it is his fiendish delight to tempt others from loyal obedience to God. And he is named "the devil" (1Ti 3:7)—a word never used in the plural, and always, and only, of Satan himself. "The Hebrew name Satan occurs in the New Testament thirty-five times interchangeably with the Greek Diabolos, which is also used thirty-five times. The word Diabolos signifies "separator and slanderer" (Blackstone), or "malignant accuser." Satan is the great separator, and he separates by slandering. He separated the race of man from God in Eden, and ever since he has been separating men from each other, with hatred, malice, envy and jealousy. He is especially named the "accuser of the brethren" (Re 12:10), and we find him also described as "the great dragon," the "old serpent," and the "deceiver of the whole inhabited earth."
The scripture is clear how low the devil has been a sinner: 1 John 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
Just like the devil desired to have the apostles, he desires to have you: Luke 22:31 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:
But rest assured that thought the devil wants you God prays that you submit to Him: Luke 22:32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
What does the devil do today, He perverts the scriputures: Matthew 4:6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
He shall give his angels charge concerning thee. The enemy, like a false adviser, quotes from Ps 91:11 to justify his request, but he garbled the Scripture, leaving out "to keep thee in all thy ways," which follows the first clause. The promise is limited to those who walk in the way appointed to them.
That old serpent will try to hinder the Gospel: Matthew 13:19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.
2 Corinthians 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
Most are deceived today by his works of lying wonders: 2 Thessalonians 2:9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
Revelation 16:14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
That old devil walketh about trying to steal and kill. That walketh about is to litrally: Tread all around, Tread around you and me trying to find a weakness.
But I can rejoice that when I am weak we are strong with the lord.
1 Corinthians 4:10 We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised.
When I was lost the devils goal was for me to stay lost and on my to hell, but now that I am saved his goal shifted, you see I cant lose my salvation but I can lose my joy, my testimony, my ministry and the devil would love that.
To the world the Devil is pictured as a gross looking demon with horns and red and ugly; but that is contrary to scripture:
2 Corinthians 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
It may seem good and look good but be careful for that which you play with could hinder you in your Christian life.
What are some of the devils characteristics, well #1 he is:
Presumptuous, meaning; Bold and confident in what he wants, arrogant as well, thinking he will get what he wants.
Matthew 4:5-6 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
You remember what Jesus told Peter how the devil desired to have him. Oh but Jesus prayed.
#2 the devil is proud: 1 Timothy 3:6 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. Pride got the devil and pride will get you.
And you better believe he is powerful; Ephesians 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
My fight is not with you, we ought not to wrestle with one another, we are to be in one accord, for the sake of prayers to be answered; Matthew 18:19-20 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
It seems we have more of the fellowship of devils rather then the sweet fellowship of God, with all these divisions,
I can’t get along with you and you are this and that and yet we want God in the midst. All this bickering and divisions is nothing but the work of doctrine of devils.
The old devil is wicked and there is no happiness at the end of that road: 1 John 2:14 I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.
Now we are going to get to the remedy, but we have to continual in this lesson.
That old devil is also very malignant, meaning: 1. Malicious;Dangerous to life; as a malignant fever. Extremely heinous; as the malignant nature of sin.
MALIG'NANT, n. A man of extreme enmity or evil intentions.
He even questioned God on, “ why does Job worship you”. Job 1:9 Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?
Let me ask you today where is your service to the Lord today, I mean if you lost everything, you posses land and children, I know of families who loved God but when tragedy hit you couldn’t find that child like faith in them. I know of a family who lost their child to sickness but yet still was in church Sunday and doing their part, because as a father answered his son about there commitment,” There God is real to them”.
That devil is still walking about this earth, that devil is still searching whom to devour.
The devil hates you, hates me and this ministry! He is deceitful and very fierce and cruel.
If he could kill we all be dead as soon as we get saved, but he does not have that power, he has no keys not even to his own pit in hell.
Revelation 1:18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
I believe he still has that big owe key ring with him but I can rejoice that through Jesus I lose nothing.
How cruel is the devil? Cruel enough, Luke 8:29 (For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.)
Luke 9:39 And, lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth again, and bruising him hardly departeth from him.
Luke 9:42 And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tare him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father.
1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
That old serpent is seeking: of uncertain affinity; to seek (literally or figuratively); specially, (by Hebraism) to worship (God), or (in a bad sense) to plot (against life):--be (go) about, desire, endeavour, enquire (for), require, (X will) seek (after, for, means).
So what is the remedy? James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Submit; to obey:--be under obedience (obedient), put under, subdue unto, (be, make) subject (to, unto), be (put) in subjection (to, under), submit self unto.
Resist; to stand against, i.e. oppose:--resist, withstand.
Will flee; apparently a primary verb; to run away (literally or figuratively); by implication, to shun; by analogy, to vanish:--escape, flee
Flee from Who. The word you in this verse is singular meaning this remedy is for you, individually
giving heed to seducing spirits; either to doctrines which are of a deceiving nature; or to men who profess to have the Spirit of God, and have not, but are evil men and seducers, deceiving, and being deceived; that lie in wait to deceive, and handle the word of God deceitfully; and by attending on the ministry of such persons, through hearing them, and conversing with them, the defection was to begin and spread; and therefore such should be carefully avoided, and their ministry shunned; nor should they be received, nor bid God speed.
And doctrines of devils; such as are devised by devils, as all damnable doctrines be; and all lying ones, for the devil is the father of them; and as are all the false doctrines introduced by Antichrist, for his coming was after the working of Satan; and particularly those doctrines of his concerning worshipping of angels, and saints departed, may be called the doctrines of devils, or of "demons"; being much the same with the demon worship among the Heathens, of which the devil was the inventor: unless by doctrines of devils should be meant the doctrines of men, who for their cunning and sophistry, for their lies and hypocrisy, for their malice, and murdering of the souls of men, are comparable to devils.

It was Lucifer who said,” Isaiah 14:13-15 …….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. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
He said,” I will be like the most High”. In other words he wanted to be like God the Strong one. He wanted to be supreme or elevated above Others. Pride!!!
That old devil was not content to what he was created to be. A servant, A servant of the Lord.
It is unfortunate that most Christians in church are not content to their position. Most churches are run by deacons and committees rather than being led by the Pastor under the leadership of the Holy Ghost. And Jesus BEING THE HEAD OF THE CHURCH.
Most church’s are being run by the doctrine of devils.
Remender what I said earlier about this doctrine: being much the same with the demon worship among the Heathens, of which the devil was the inventor: unless by doctrines of devils should be meant the doctrines of men, who for their cunning and sophistry, for their lies and hypocrisy, for their malice, and murdering of the souls of men, are comparable to devils.
How many men today do you think are leading a congregation straight to hell?
This adversary, the devil is an opponent to you and God, an enemy.
The devil himself is the prince of devils: Matthew 12:24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.
The prince, meaning the magistrate or the ruler, the Bible calls him the:
Ephesians 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
Before we got saved this is who we walked by. It says the spirit that worketh in the children of disobedience.
Demon possession friend.
You just have to walk in to most schools today and see this so evident today.
Listen to what Jesus said in: John 14:30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.
thus plainly recognizing his rule over the earth. That he is a personage of rank and power we learn from Jude: "Michael, the arch-angel, when contending with the devil, he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing judgment, but said, The Lord rebuke thee" (Jude 1:9). He is also called the "god of this age" (2Co 4:4, margin), for men obey and worship him, even unconsciously, when they do not obey and worship the Creator.
The fallen archangel is moreover described as the "prince of the power of the air" (Eph 2:2), meaning wicked spiritual powers dwelling in the aerial heavens, for it seems the "Satanic confederation has its seat in the atmospheric heaven—in the spaces above and around our world" (Seiss). That the "prince of the power of the air" has power (when permission is granted) to wield the forces of the air we see in the history of Job; for at his bidding lightning fell from heaven to consume the flocks of the faithful servant of God, and he caused a wind to blow Job's house down and kill his children. In relation to his attacks upon the children of men the prince of this world is called the "tempter" (1Th 3:5), because it is his fiendish delight to tempt others from loyal obedience to God. And he is named "the devil" (1Ti 3:7)—a word never used in the plural, and always, and only, of Satan himself. "The Hebrew name Satan occurs in the New Testament thirty-five times interchangeably with the Greek Diabolos, which is also used thirty-five times. The word Diabolos signifies "separator and slanderer" (Blackstone), or "malignant accuser." Satan is the great separator, and he separates by slandering. He separated the race of man from God in Eden, and ever since he has been separating men from each other, with hatred, malice, envy and jealousy. He is especially named the "accuser of the brethren" (Re 12:10), and we find him also described as "the great dragon," the "old serpent," and the "deceiver of the whole inhabited earth."
The scripture is clear how low the devil has been a sinner: 1 John 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
Just like the devil desired to have the apostles, he desires to have you: Luke 22:31 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:
But rest assured that thought the devil wants you God prays that you submit to Him: Luke 22:32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
What does the devil do today, He perverts the scriputures: Matthew 4:6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
He shall give his angels charge concerning thee. The enemy, like a false adviser, quotes from Ps 91:11 to justify his request, but he garbled the Scripture, leaving out "to keep thee in all thy ways," which follows the first clause. The promise is limited to those who walk in the way appointed to them.
That old serpent will try to hinder the Gospel: Matthew 13:19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.
2 Corinthians 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
Most are deceived today by his works of lying wonders: 2 Thessalonians 2:9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
Revelation 16:14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
That old devil walketh about trying to steal and kill. That walketh about is to litrally: Tread all around, Tread around you and me trying to find a weakness.
But I can rejoice that when I am weak we are strong with the lord.
1 Corinthians 4:10 We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised.
When I was lost the devils goal was for me to stay lost and on my to hell, but now that I am saved his goal shifted, you see I cant lose my salvation but I can lose my joy, my testimony, my ministry and the devil would love that.
To the world the Devil is pictured as a gross looking demon with horns and red and ugly; but that is contrary to scripture:
2 Corinthians 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
It may seem good and look good but be careful for that which you play with could hinder you in your Christian life.
What are some of the devils characteristics, well #1 he is:
Presumptuous, meaning; Bold and confident in what he wants, arrogant as well, thinking he will get what he wants.
Matthew 4:5-6 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
You remember what Jesus told Peter how the devil desired to have him. Oh but Jesus prayed.
#2 the devil is proud: 1 Timothy 3:6 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. Pride got the devil and pride will get you.
And you better believe he is powerful; Ephesians 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
My fight is not with you, we ought not to wrestle with one another, we are to be in one accord, for the sake of prayers to be answered; Matthew 18:19-20 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
It seems we have more of the fellowship of devils rather then the sweet fellowship of God, with all these divisions,
I can’t get along with you and you are this and that and yet we want God in the midst. All this bickering and divisions is nothing but the work of doctrine of devils.
The old devil is wicked and there is no happiness at the end of that road: 1 John 2:14 I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.
Now we are going to get to the remedy, but we have to continual in this lesson.
That old devil is also very malignant, meaning: 1. Malicious;Dangerous to life; as a malignant fever. Extremely heinous; as the malignant nature of sin.
MALIG'NANT, n. A man of extreme enmity or evil intentions.
He even questioned God on, “ why does Job worship you”. Job 1:9 Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?
Let me ask you today where is your service to the Lord today, I mean if you lost everything, you posses land and children, I know of families who loved God but when tragedy hit you couldn’t find that child like faith in them. I know of a family who lost their child to sickness but yet still was in church Sunday and doing their part, because as a father answered his son about there commitment,” There God is real to them”.
That devil is still walking about this earth, that devil is still searching whom to devour.
The devil hates you, hates me and this ministry! He is deceitful and very fierce and cruel.
If he could kill we all be dead as soon as we get saved, but he does not have that power, he has no keys not even to his own pit in hell.
Revelation 1:18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
I believe he still has that big owe key ring with him but I can rejoice that through Jesus I lose nothing.
How cruel is the devil? Cruel enough, Luke 8:29 (For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.)
Luke 9:39 And, lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth again, and bruising him hardly departeth from him.
Luke 9:42 And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tare him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father.
1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
That old serpent is seeking: of uncertain affinity; to seek (literally or figuratively); specially, (by Hebraism) to worship (God), or (in a bad sense) to plot (against life):--be (go) about, desire, endeavour, enquire (for), require, (X will) seek (after, for, means).
So what is the remedy? James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Submit; to obey:--be under obedience (obedient), put under, subdue unto, (be, make) subject (to, unto), be (put) in subjection (to, under), submit self unto.
Resist; to stand against, i.e. oppose:--resist, withstand.
Will flee; apparently a primary verb; to run away (literally or figuratively); by implication, to shun; by analogy, to vanish:--escape, flee
Flee from Who. The word you in this verse is singular meaning this remedy is for you, individually

Its been awhile
Well I haven't blogged in awhile but I have been cautious about it. I have had alot on my mind concerning the rise of demon possession today. God warns in the bible of these times. 1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
giving heed to seducing spirits; either to doctrines which are of a deceiving nature; or to men who profess to have the Spirit of God, and have not, but are evil men and seducers, deceiving, and being deceived; that lie in wait to deceive, and handle the word of God deceitfully; and by attending on the ministry of such persons, through hearing them, and conversing with them, the defection was to begin and spread; and therefore such should be carefully avoided, and their ministry shunned; nor should they be received, nor bid God speed.
And doctrines of devils; such as are devised by devils, as all damnable doctrines be; and all lying ones, for the devil is the father of them; and as are all the false doctrines introduced by Antichrist, for his coming was after the working of Satan; and particularly those doctrines of his concerning worshipping of angels, and saints departed, may be called the doctrines of devils, or of "demons"; being much the same with the demon worship among the Heathens, of which the devil was the inventor: unless by doctrines of devils should be meant the doctrines of men, who for their cunning and sophistry, for their lies and hypocrisy, for their malice, and murdering of the souls of men, are comparable to devils.
It is so prevalent it today of these evil gains today. I cant stop to think that Jesus has to be coming soon. Israel celebrated their 60th birthday as being a nation this week. Some have thought that after the 1st generation or at the end of 45 yrs Jesus would of come. Now no Baptist preacher set 1993 as the return date but some did think on it. The bible clearly says that know man knows the time or the season but Jesus did leave some signs. I believe the J.W."s believed on the 93 date or the 94 but the claimed 64 and as for back as the late 1800s. I did a study on the Millerite charts and preached about it 2yrs ago in Abbeville. Now, no one knows the time but I like Paul and the other Apostles believe the time is soon.
I have witnessed first hand people possessed by demons hear in Louisiana. I spoke to a young man last night that is so influenced by devils that he will go to hell convinced that God is just a energy and man just call this energy god. ALL this is is the Doctrine of DEVILS!!!!!!
Some of my family members died, I believe possessed by devils.
The devil is a liar and the father of it.

So Close
I am so close to getting my truck. The check I was anticipating finally got in today and that is all I needed. Now I just got to go see her and pay the money and I will be a Ford truck Man, that's right I said Ford.
These are the pics of my green truck with a camper (so cool) Melinda, though, says a truck with a camper is for old men, Well she does says, '' I married an old man." So there you have it. The truck I am buying is 1,000.00, I want to just thank the Lord for this opportunity to own my first truck. The truck is a 1993 Ford F150 with a 4.9 standard. Off course the truck is dirty, so when I get it I will clean it.(on a side note, '"Yes Melinda I will clean the van and the pathfinder also."

Hello
Well I haven't blogged in awhile and I have been cautious about it. But I want to say that I am still here. I have been busy working and other things. But I can rejoice that I am saved and on my way to heaven. It is a shame that many today woke up today not knowing were they would go if they died. Many today know there is a God, but the way to heaven they know not. I took a tour of hell the other day through the preaching of the word of God. And I want to say that Hell is still hot, Hell is still everlasting, just like you are saved for eternal life so are those that are burning today were the worm dieth not, Hell is still a lonely place, Hell is still a place of unanswered prayers. You proclaim today that if you have iniquity between you and God, He will not hear you, And it is true to the Lost and the back slider, but I say, ''What about those that are in hell today not wanting there loved ones here." What about that brother that today is burning in this hell Pleading that his little brother not come to this place, A son who is eternally falling who is burning pleading that his Dad not come to this place. But you see these pleading and praying will go unanswered. Luke 16:28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
I can honestly say that I got saved because I did not want to go to HELL!
I can honestly say that I got saved because I did not want to go to HELL!

HELP LORD!!!
This is were I am at today and it seems like no matter what God still helps. And even when I feel like I cant do it on my own God reminds me that I need Him. I am reminded of young Emma who one day when she was but 6 or 7 years old got a brand knew hand muff and she was so excited. She wanted to go outside and use it and asked her daddy if they could walk outside, daddy said sure and as they went she stuff her hands in the muff but daddy told her let me hold your hand, because it is cold and icy outside and she said no I can do it, Well sure enough she hit a patch of ice and fell, dad got her up and said let me hold your hand but she insisted that she wanted to keep her hands in the muff but agreed to let him hold her finger, and wouldn't you know it
she slipped again and fell after she got up she looked at daddy and gave him her whole hand. Aren't you glad that are Father which is in heaven knows what we need and there to provide. Even though we feel like we can it first on our own.
HELP LORD!!!!
