If not God, then who?

Every time I get into a spiritual warfare/debate with someone who is demonically influenced the question and answer usually stops when the Lord has me ask a question blatantly calls out what they are beating around the bush to say.
Understand that if it's not God doing something then it has to be someone else, and if it's not you doing something then it has to be the devil if it is not good.

Understand also that this is a very dangerous way of thinking because in this thought process we let the devil have A LOT OF POWER AND AUTHORITY. Claiming that God doesn't do a mighty work, yet the work happened not of your own hands gives the work up to either the devil or if some is completely in delusion they could just blame it on mother nature. Something or someone has to be accomplished, that is why there are courts in heaven, for the judges to sit, judge, and rule the nations in love and accurate discernment.
So again if not God then who? Who is the one who tore down walls of Jericho? Who is the one that caused the flood? Who is the one that split the Sea and then drowned the Egyptians in it? Who is the one that sent the plagues to Egypt?
Again if not God, then who? If we give the devil credit then we give up all authority and power. But what if we see these things in the light of Christ?
The flood in Genesis was a picture of baptism, we are emmersed in water as a sign of being dead to sin, washing the filth off of us and coming back up a new creation, a new earth.
The splitting of the sea to free Israel from bondage and slavery under the Egyptians, again we are baptized showing we are free in Christ from slavery and hard labor.
Jericho's walls falling down, is a picture of our walls falling down when we come to Christ, being open to his love, his encouragement, his life to run through us.
The plagues, a picture of all the torment that we go through when we do not listen to what the Lord says to do in wisdom, love and a pure heart.
So let's stop giving Satan all of our power and authority which has been given to us by God and start asking the Lord to shine his light into things we have a hard time understanding. He wants you to understand who he is and what his love for you is and what your life is all about. He shines, so also should you.

God Bless

Discernment of The Lord!

Many of us have had those moments where something doesn't sound right or even look right. First of all I encourage you to seek the Lord on these matters because he could be drawing you to learn how to discern in the Godly way. What is discernment? Discernment reaches into many aspects of the holy spirit and differentiates between what is holy and what is not. It helps us to know when someone is lying to us or when they are speaking out of a spirit of death. There are various factors to pull into discernment, 3 of them that have helped me out a lot are the Helmet of Salvation and "being quick to listen and slow to speak" and "out of the belly flows rivers of living water". We will focus on each of them separately. The helmet of salvation is here for us to know between Godly righteousness and death or the knowledge of good and evil apart from Godliness. The helmet keeps us safe from ALL deception and knowing what to do and what not to do. For those of us ...

Uni what?

So i had been questioning a group of Universalists for a short bit in a facebook group and I am willing to admit they put up some scriptures that are understandable as to why they believe in universalism, but I am not saying that they converted me. I knew that yes they used scripture to defend themselves but there are also scriptures that tear down the universal belief. Lots of scriptures that a universalist will provide usually say something about God in ALL of us, or THROUGH all of us. They take the “ALL” to mean everyone in the world. Those that are not new to cherry picking can, for the most part, read the context around each scripture and realize that taking the “all” to mean everyone in the world is very faulty, and here is why.  I was seeking the Lord on this and he showed me something very simple to understand about the epistles and the letters to the churches. He showed me an orientation room like the theme park “universal”. He showed me that in an orientation for a job th...
