Gifts and Talents

          Many people give our enemies too much credit for their problems and sicknesses. Sometimes the problems are our own fault. The wrong things we eat, the bad habits we have, and the bad choices we make. Every time we have a problem we blame the Devil and his demons. The Bible says He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.

      Lucifer was the most beautiful angel that God had ever created. Lucifer was covered with many precious stones such as sardius, topaz, diamond, beryl, onyx, jasper, sapphire, turquoise, emerald, and with gold. Because of his beauty, he lifted himself up and sinned. God cast Lucifer out of heaven and one-third of the angels went with him

      Lucifer (Satan - Devil) and his demons can put things on us, but we must choose to keep it or reject it. When we go around saying MY Sickness, MY Rheumatism, MY Disease, We are claiming them for ourselves. We are agreeing with Lucifer for that sickness. Our words are the most powerful weapon that we have. We can use it for fighting against the enemy or agreeing with the enemy.

      Demons and Angels are very different from us, but there are some things we have in common with them. They are not all knowing. They are not omnipresent. They cannot read our thoughts. They do not know our future. They rule over hell, but in the not too distance future they will become the residences of hell. They observe us. They see us going to church, reading our Bible and honoring God. They know to attack us because of their observing what we do and what we say. They hate mankind because we can be redeemed and they cannot. They will do anything to take us with them to hell.

      Another truth is that God has placed a hedge around us. God has sent His Angels for our protection and we have two angels to watch over us. One is always with us and one goes to heaven and back with our prayers and the answer to our prayers. Many times we don’t see the protection because we think that car that just missed us was a coincidence. There are no coincidences around God’s people. The enemy would kill us if they could. They cannot because of God’s hedge of protection.

     Everyone has gone through or will go through a time of testing. Even Jesus was tested. There are times of testing, but the enemy has to ask for God’s permission to attack us. But even in the times we are tested God still has a hedge around us. The enemy can go so far and no further. There are millions upon millions of people who were still-born or aborted or for some other reason they were not tested. At the end of the thousand years of peace with God, the enemy that was chained for a thousand years will be loosed to test those that were not tested and many will follow after Satan.

    We do not have power over Satan ourselves, but Jesus gave us the authority over our enemies. God said that if we resist the enemy he will flee from us. We are blessed and God fights for us. We can plead the blood of Jesus over us and our families. We need to start agreeing with God and not our enemies. We are blessed, and we are protected. Our God will fight our battles for us. We just need put our trust in Him and stand against the enemy, and he will flee from us.

      New King James Version
Matthew 5:45 "that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.

      New King James Version
Isaiah 14:12 "How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, You who weakened the nations!
13 For you have said in your heart: `I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation On the farthest sides of the north;
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.'
15 Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol, To the lowest depths of the Pit.

      New King James Version
Ezekiel 28:13 You were in Eden, the garden of God; Every precious stone was your covering: The sardius, topaz, and diamond, Beryl, onyx, and jasper, Sapphire, turquoise, and emerald with gold. The workmanship of your timbrels and pipes Was prepared for you on the day you were created.
14 "You were the anointed cherub who covers; I established you; You were on the holy mountain of God; You walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones.
15 You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created, Till iniquity was found in you.
16 "By the abundance of your trading You became filled with violence within, And you sinned; Therefore I cast you as a profane thing Out of the mountain of God; And I destroyed you, O covering cherub, From the midst of the fiery stones.
17 "Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; You corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor; I cast you to the ground, I laid you before kings, That they might gaze at you.
