For the sake of others who might read this string I will answer your question about protection. I remember a verse or two in Psalms about our protection.
Psa 18:2 Jehovah is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; He is my God, my Rock; I seek refuge in Him; He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.
Psa 59:9 O my Strength, let me look to You; for God is my strong tower.
Psa 61:3 For You have been my shelter, a strong tower before the enemy.
Psa 94:22 But Jehovah is my tower of defense; and my God is the rock of my refuge.
Pro 18:10 The name of Jehovah is a tower of strength, the righteous runs into it and is set on high.
My point is that Father protects us from the enemy. I think that in the practical application of this concept we must remember to keep our head on straight and stay focused on God. We will likely be attacked when we leave the tower of His strength. We venture out in our own "strength" and then expose ourselves to things that are not of God. We begin to believe lies and are easily deceived. Think of your relationship with Father as that of a child. How do children stay safe? They obey their parents and stay close to them. The wolf does not attack the sheep closest to the shepherd but the one farthest away.
Well welcome to the forums anyway regardless of your personal attack to Cattle, which by the way was highly uncalled for.
Wrong about what? Read Mark 16? I gather you did not study my post on page 7 which went into great detail about that very passage? Since you think I am wrong and apparently you think you are more spiritual then the rest of us, then Please demonstrate where I violated the Grammatical Hermeneutic.
Let's address your post to Cattle. Any CAPS are for emphasis only since we cannot adjust fonts here.
You said: cattleman.
i dont know what your problem is but you come accross as a dogmatic religious follower.
many like yourself know bible scripture but only a very few are spiritual here.
WALTER: Really? How do you know this? Are you God and can look into our hearts and minds and spirit and make that "JUDGMENT"? Are you comparing yourself to others? If you are do you realize how prideful that is?
Oh...I get it....you mean those that agree with YOUR way of thinking are the "spiritual ones".
PURE: until you have both the knowledge and the spiritual sence of this walk of faith you will have not reached your full potenial in the Lord
WALTER: If you had made this a general application and included YOURSELF within the context I would agree that we ALL have to strive daily in this. However you addressed Cattle personally and have placed yourself over him as a "Judge".
PURE: how will you win lost souls if you dont come down to a persons level to reach them at the level of faith there at..
isnt that showing love!
think before you write anything here and love each one you meet here the way jesus showed love.
i disagree with the ones that say you know it all!!
you may of had a hard life but many have here...have some simpathy please!
in the book of romans it talks about christians who are walking in the flesh as babes are and spiritual christians walking in wisdom.
which one are you?
WALTER: So please show us where your love was in this attack to Cattle? In your profile Marion you said that you are "VERY POLITE". Is this what you call being "very polite"? I would hate to see what rude is. Here is a really good passage that came to mind that deserves serious reflection.
Mat 7:1 "Judge not, that you be not judged.
2 For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.
3 And why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye?
4 Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me remove the speck from your eye'; and look, a plank is in your own eye?
5 Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye. NKJV
pure that was the quote i said to you before you came at me.. it was a welcome and an agreement with you about jesusfreaks post..
i think youre not from here but the words here here means agreement here.. it wasnt anything bad to you.. maybe you thought it was meant to be bad.. i dont know but..
your words here

i'd like to go into the topic of mark 16 verse 15 when jesus came out of the tomb he was annoyed by the stubborn refusal of believeing him because of there lack of faith.
he said and i quote.....if you believe in me....in my name you will drive out demons and of course the rest .
he commanded it!
did you know that if you have allowed anything into your house thats not of the Lord meaning some sort of worldly thing that someone gave you and they before hand put a curse in it ....well that very thing being a material thing can affect your life and your walk in jesus ....it can blind your eyes to see the truth and also make you very sick.
believe me demons are very real and people still to this day put curses on people all the time.
its up to us as christians to adhere to the soft small voice of the holy spirit to know all things in jesus so we can know how to pray on all different occasions for all sorts of things.
satan will always come ...in a different way to trick us.
usually never the same way twice ....unless its a beautiful woman!!
if someone lays a curse on you ..are you just going to sit around and do nothing about the demons on your shoulder attacking you.
we are commanded to deal with these isues in our lives.
ehpesions6:6
some christians think this is a happy holy walk,,,24%7
well reality is satan is looking for a victim and hes always ready for an easy target.
its important to be spiritually awake so as we can pray in the spirit against the firery darts in the spiritual realm
if your not spiritual you wont understand this method of praying!
