Not the ones that you used to imagine were in there; the ugly stuff from your past that you’ve tried to keep in a closet where you wouldn’t have to face it. See we’ve all got those monsters, stuff we think is too scary or too shameful to deal with, but that’s a mistake. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Life-That-Matters/Radio-Program/Halloween-He-s-No-Joker-8130 2008-11-07T11:48:25-05:00 I’m really grateful that Jesus exposed the single outcome that the devil’s really seeking in every life, including you and your family. He says, “The thief comes only to steal, kill and destroy” (John 10:10). Now make no mistake about it, that temptation in front of you, that compromise or detour that looks so good—it’s designed to steal everything you care about and to kill and to destroy any life that matters. http://bibleforchildren.org/PDFs/hebrew/The%20Start%20of%20Mans%20Sadness%20Hebrew.pdf 2008-09-29T11:55:07-05:00 Hebrew: Eve is tempted by Satan through the serpent. She takes fruit from the forbidden tree & gives some to Adam, who eats it. This 1st sin brings death. Adam & Eve are sent out of the Garden of Eden, & an angel with a flaming sword guards it. Their 1st son, Cain, kills their 2nd son, Able. http://peggiesplace.gospelcom.net/wordwalk18.htm 2008-09-06T14:16:28-05:00 Feeling heavy today? Oh, not with weight - forget the scales! I mean, with sadness, low self-worth, guilt, shame. Someone's hurt you.....you're feeling down....and what to do? Read this devo and be encouraged! http://circuitriter.gospelcom.net/article/?article_id=103 2008-08-26T22:43:53-05:00 Some people are easier to fool than others. Satan is an expert at how to fool you. Take a look-see as to why we need discernment. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Personal-Power/When-the-Target-s-on-Your-Back-4271 2008-08-21T11:26:38-05:00 The decapitation strategy makes sense militarily. If you can take out a leader, you've probably neutralized those who look to that leader. It's a strategy the devil has been using for a long time. Jesus knew what a rock, what a leader Simon Peter would one day be for Him. But on the eve of Peter's denial of his Lord, Jesus told him, "Satan has asked to sift you as wheat. But I have prayed for you..." (Luke 22:31-32) If you're serious about following Jesus, if you're in a position to influence others for Him, you can be sure Satan wants to sift you as wheat. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Hindrances/How-to-Banish-the-Darkness-4807 2008-08-20T11:35:44-05:00 Celebrate Jesus and you evacuate the devil, who can't stand even the name of Jesus. Because it is at that name that he and all his demons must one day bow in total surrender, because the devil's death warrant is signed in the blood that Jesus shed on the cross. So in those times when the darkness seems to be closing in, you can literally praise the darkness away. http://circuitriter.gospelcom.net/article/?article_id=70 2008-08-18T22:09:13-05:00 Foundation footings are important in spiritual life. The Lord works in your life starting with belief "footings". Without these footings Satan can rattle your house! http://bibleforchildren.org/PDFs/chinese_traditional/The%20Start%20of%20Mans%20Sadness%20ChineseT.pdf 2008-08-13T14:43:40-05:00 Chinese: Eve is tempted by Satan through the serpent.

God says This is My Son. The Holy Spirit leads Jesus into the wilderness where He fasts forty days. Satan the devil tempts Jesus 3 times. Jesus defeats him with the Word of God. Angels minister to Jesus.
