Plus, as it is written, even when He leaves us, we are left with the Holy Spirit.

Anyone know where the golden circle articles are?

one verse?

God is doing such amazing things in my life, in my community, and in the world, oh, HE IS amazing! Love you all! 😊

Didn;t you just cite one verse to say the Bible speaks of many Gods?

Colossians 2: 16

Sorry - busy right now

He preached to the captives in the underworld. He took the keys of Hell and Death - He bruied the head of the Serpent. Satan still has active control - but he knows his time is short

bruised

I highly recommend the Experiencing God workbook from Blackaby Ministries, it's done amazing things in my walk with God: http://www.blackaby.net/store/products.php?product=Experiencing-God-Work-Book-Revised-and-Updated-%28Paperback%29#.WqiSZBvF9Lo.twitter

I used to work with a guy who was a jehova's witness who first introduced me to the idea that this was "Satan's kingdom" for now...it is an interesting concept

Look I am just going to throw this out there....growing up in a catholic home - devout at that - Catholics aren't the best known for reciting verses from the bible - we celebrate the bible through readings in church on sundays - but you KNOW that satan is ever present in your life - that is why we all look forward to the second coming of Jesus...

Are you saying that Messiah did NOT defeat Satan by His death, burial, descent to Sheol, Rsurrection and Ascension? That is what the scirptures teach my friend

You have gained a rank @William Brewster, you just advanced to 2 . Thanks for all you do Patriot!

so to say "defeated" maybe in some ways - but still very much influential...

defeat is not destruction unfortunately

He is allowed to maintain control for the current time until Messiah returns to put all things under His Feet.

one can be dealt many defeats without being destroyed...in fact often one becomes more vial and more cunning with each defeat

so that is not exactly defeat. in our terms here - in what we are dealing with, now is it?

CORRECT > Defeat - is like he is found guilty - but has not been brought to prison yet.

Kin dof like HRC 😉

in fact...more than kind of haha

EXACTLY like HRC..

who would have thought that possibly the anti-christ could be a Female???

*raises hand*

of all things females could possibly want to be first at....smh...lol

In the end Satan will be completely destroyed in the Lake of Fire. That is after the 1000 reign of Messiah on earth.

looks around...no? no one else?

ugh

*puts hand down*

not completely destroyed because he will be let out yet again

Mueller said he could wrap up probe by Sept. 1 if he can interview Trump by mid-July, Giuliani tells Fox News

Lucky Pyrate I spent 14 months in Korea 9 on the DMZ, reading the Constitution and Bill of rights, nearly every day.I have personally known our Lord since I was 10, when He saved me from drowning 3 times in one day. I had died at the age of six falling from a tree. and the many other times I have been near death I attribute to His hands in my remaining here.

I appreciate your background and suggest you probably should stay away from water and trees moving forward. I was in the Army from 01 to 08 and served overseas myself for most of that time. I have seen the evil of men and the absence of God.

I realize that last bit probably sound strange to people and even inconceivable...but believe me when I tell you there are places in this world where God is not present, and even less welcome.

I would like to think we left the places I have been better than we left them...but sometimes seeds take a long time to bloom.

I remember one time we were waiting for exfiltration from a place in Afghanistan and I was sitting on my bag reading my Bible and my interpreter asked me to read him something. I read him something from the Gospel (I can't remember what now) and he looked at me and told me it was the most beautifult hing he ever heard and begged me to read more for him.

That really touched me as a powerful moment where the Spirit used me to reach that mans heart, across language barriers and everything

@Gilaad That's very true. Dear Lord, let light come to darkness, let people who have never known You have the opportunity to know You, and O dear Lord, please heal the minds and hearts of those who have seen such evil, for it is in a dark world that You are most glorified, in Jesus' Name, Amen! ✝
