“FROM EVIL”

By topray

http://ourprayejournal.spaces/live.com  FROM EVIL – THE EVIL ONE. (evil is live twisted backward) Question who is it that would twist life out of you? Lived reversed spells Devil.  “I pray that you would keep them from evil.” (Our Lord prays Jn.17:15) “He ever lives to make intercession for us.” (Heb.7:25)  “And fear not them that kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul; but rather fear HIM which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” (Mt.10:28)  Our adversary, the devil, satan, the deceiver, a tempter, a liar, an accuser of the brethren;  A slanderer, insulter, complains, criticizes, blinds, devours, destroys, kills, a murderer.  He tares down, he bites, hinders, harms, hurts.  He steals, divides and separates.  RECOGNIZE Him!  “You are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father you will do.  He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him.  When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.” (Jn.8:44)  Pilot in the fog illustration:  Compass?  What is true?  (instruments do not lie)  Flying on fact or feeling?  “. . . . for the accuser of the brethren is cast down, which accused them day and night.” (Rev.12:10)  A lie lies in your head – the liar attacks your mind (believer); emotion (feeler) and your will (chooser) – your real identity. Know who you are “IN CHRIST” and whose you are “CHRIST IN YOU”, no matter how you feel you can bank on that and you will land right!  DELIVER US FROM EVIL  JUDE: Vs.4. ungodly men; 5. fallen angels; 6. filthy dreamers, defile the flesh, hate authority, speak evil of dignitaries; 9. slanderers of angels; 10. speak abusive; 12. shepherds who feed themselves at your expense; 13. raging, foaming, wanderers; 15. ungodly deeds, harsh words; 16. murderers, complainer, lustful, boastful, flatter to their advantage; 18. mockers; 19. sensual, separate themselves.  Murmurers, destroyed by the destroyer. (I Cor.10:10)  “Be sober, be diligent because your adversary the devil as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour; whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.” (I Pet.5:8,9)  “Wherefore we would have come to you, even I Paul, once and again; but satan hindered us.”: (I Thess.2:18)  “For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter have tempted you, and our labor be in vain.” (I Thess.3:5)  “And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the devil, and satan, which deceives the whole world: he was cast  out into the earth, and his angels with him.” (Rev.12:9)  “FROM EVIL”  Deliver us. “In whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.” (II Cor.4:4)  We are accused of “BE”ing less than Christian. Fear of people and failure at times is overwhelming. We are exposed and even embarrassed of not “BE”ing Holy. Overcoming evil is our desire to “BE” like Jesus, (Bread of life) with major mistakes (Bad decisions) sins confessed, forgiven, forsaken, forgotten and receiving His robe of righteousness. “I AM” not afraid to face my Savior, Lord God and Master. “I AM” Holy because He is Holy.” I AM to worship, honor and glorify Him. Praise you “OUR FATHER” for deliverance from the evil one. I AM forgiven of the accusers blame and shame game and I AM not fearful of offenders judgment or gossip. They are not party to “OUR” Masters solutions of Salvation; “BE”ing made righteous. The truth is – sins of forefathers visited upon us, “OUR” sins are removed far to be remembered no more, buried deep where no one can bring them up again to chew on; not by us (regurgitating), satan or anyone else,  especially those with false lies (accusations). May we get it in “OUR” mind that, that sin is settled on the cross, hid behind His back, removed as far as the East is from the West. Now we see clearly by the eye salve of His Word, that we are as good as gold, refined in the fire, restored to the original creation, born from above again, “BE”ing conformed into the I AM AGE of His Son. “OUR” white robe. (For a Laodicean last church age Rev.3:18) I AM Holy because He is Holy, by the “washing of the Word.” Glory to God!

    Eph. 4:26 “Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: . . “
    What is this supposed to mean? Is there a righteous anger? Is there ever any good in any anger? What is anger without any good end in it?
    Jas 4:1 “From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?”
    What would cause a 6ft., 250lbs. Son to shout and get on top and punch a 150lbs. Handicapped defenseless brother who is non-verbal and unable to shout a word of protest? Should these brothers go unprotected? Who can deliver us from this kind wrath? Who has part in the solution of deliverance?
    I Thess. 1:10 “And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.”
    Deliverance from righteous anger. . . (What is deserved) depends on Him. . . not in the one causing warring members. . . makes any sense!
    The evil impulses that grip the human heart cause Paul’s cry for deliverance:
    “What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?” (Rom 7:24). The answer to Paul’s cry is “Jesus Christ our Lord” (v. 25). All pleas for deliverance are answered by the person and work of Jesus Christ. He was delivered up for us (Rom 4:25) that he might deliver us from all that threatens us in this life and in the life to come.
    The ultimate deliverance for humankind is from the coming wrath of God on the final day of judgment. Here again, the people of God have hope in the “The Deliverer” (Rom 11:26) who will intervene and save them from the terrible fate reserved for the ungodly: “Jesus, who rescues us from the coming wrath” (1 Thess 1:10).
    What about forgiveness and tolerance to the evil one causing the hurt? “Forgive us this day. . .” Who is it that justifies?
    Heb 2:3 “How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;”
    So what is the conclusion? THIMK! (Got your attention? Misspelled on purpose to cause us to stop and think.)

    By Solly Ganor

    Five years ago I wrote a letter, which I called “Conversation on the Beach. ”
    In my letter I described my conversation with a young Palestinian
    student who in short precise terms explained how Islam will defeat the
    West. The conversation opened my eyes to a much larger picture in which
    Israel plays only a minor role in the Islamic game of conquest. Since
    then I tried to speak to some Arabs who come to pray at the Mosque, but
    they were not as outspoken as the student.

    Last week I had another conversation with an Israeli Arab construction
    boss by the unlikely name of Francis who was in charge of building a
    villa near our house in Herzelia. He told me that his family was
    Christian and his name was given to him in honor of the Franciscan
    monks. Our conversation was as interesting as the first conversation I
    had with the Arab student five years ago and I would like to share it
    with you.

    Francis frequently parked his car near our house and we would exchange
    polite greetings. About a week ago the water was shut off for repairs in
    the house he was building and Francis asked me if I could give him some
    hot water for his coffee. He was a tall man of about forty, with reddish
    hair and blue eyes. He spoke a perfect Hebrew and I, naturally became
    curious about him. I felt that he may the right person to exchange some
    views with. By his looks I assumed that he was either a Druze or from
    the Syrian region. He looked more like a teacher than a construction
    worker and as I later found out, he was actually a teacher by
    profession.

    Since my conversation with the student five years ago I was always
    curious to hear their side of the story, therefore I decided to invite
    him for a cup of coffee to our house. I saw him hesitate for a moment
    then he smiled and thanked me for my hospitality.

    While we drank our coffee he told me that he was from a small village in
    the Galilee called Jish, near the present Kibbutz Sassa. I remembered
    the village very well as I was one of the soldiers who captured the
    village while serving in the 7th Armored brigade during the war of
    Independence in 1948. I decided not to tell him about it because at the
    time we encountered some stiff resistance at that village and quite a
    few of the inhabitants were killed.

    While I was preparing the coffee he told me a little about himself. “For
    a while I was a teacher and I loved teaching, but I couldn’t make a
    living at it and I decided to join my father-in-law who is in the
    construction business.” Judging by the large Honda he was driving I
    figured that he didn’t do too badly changing his profession.

    Our conversation soon turned to the present situation in the Middle
    East, about Hamas winning the elections, the situation of the Israeli
    Arabs, and the last Lebanese war against Hezbolla. “As Christians we are
    in a difficult situation here in Israel. Unfortunately, the Moslems and
    especially the extreme Islamist section, are giving the tone here. My
    family who lived in Bethlehem probably since the Crusaders, had to flee
    for their life. The Moslems have been forcing us out, by threats and
    even murder. Bethlehem that was once predominantly Christian is now
    predominantly Moslem. Very little is written about it even in the
    Israeli press.” He sipped his coffee and gave me a long look. He seemed
    like someone who wasn’t quite sure whether to say what he was about to
    say. I gave him an encouraging nod.

    “I have to tell you something which very few of you seem to comprehend.”
    He continued. “Your bungling war against a few thousand Hezbollah
    fighters which you should have crushed no matter what, considering the
    importance of the outcome, has created a completely new situation, not
    only for this area, but global ly. Your inept leadership totally
    misunderstood the importance of winning this war. As a matter of fact,
    the whole Moslem world, not only the Arabs, simply couldn’t believe that
    the mighty Israeli Army that defeated the combined Arab forces in six
    days in 1967, and almost captured Cairo and Damascus in 1973, couldn’t
    defeat a small army of Hezbollah men.”

    “As usual the Moslems see things the way they want to see things. Most
    think that the present generation of Israelis have gone soft and can be
    defeated. The American bungling of the war in Iraq only added to their
    conviction that victory not only over Israel but also over the West is
    not only possible, but certain.”

    “The ramifications of these two bungling wars may bring an Islamic
    bloody Tsunami all over the West, not only in Israel. The sharks smell
    bloo d and these two wars gave them the green light to attack sooner than
    they had in mind. Your problem is that you are on the defensive and they
    have the option to choose the time and the places when and where to
    attack and there is nothing much you can do about it. When will you
    Westerners realize that half measures don’t work with people who are
    willing to die by the thousands for Allah to achieve their goal? In
    their eyes the Western World is simply an abomination on earth that has
    to be wiped out.”

    He spoke quietly and I could just picture him in the school giving his
    students a lecture. I poured him another cup of coffee and encouraged
    him to continue.

    “The Americans, the Europeans, and even you Israelis really don’t really
    know what it is all about, do you? During the last generation hundreds
    of thousands of children have been taught all over the Moslem world in
    Madrass schools to become martyrs for Allah in order to kill the
    infidels. These youngsters are not only ready to do it, but are actually
    in the process of doing it. Bombs are going off all over the world
    killing and maiming thousands of people, not only on 9/11 in the US, in
    London Madrid and Bali, but Africa, India, Bengla Dash, Egypt, Saudi
    Arabia and countless other places.”

    “The first signs of the Islamic Tsunami is already here, but the West
    doesn’t understand, or doesn’t want to understand what is coming. The
    Americans, instead of realizing that this is as bad as World War Two, or
    even worse, are going to pull out of Iraq, handing it over to Iran on a
    silver platter. Next may come the Saudis and the rest of the Gulf
    States.”

    “When dirty bombs will go off all over the Western towns who is going to
    stop the Iranians? Now is the time to stop them, not only because they
    are developing nuclear bombs, but because Iran has become the base for
    all Islamic terrorist. They supply, money, men and weapons to Islamic
    terrorist around the world, quite often through their diplomatic mail.
    Billions of petro-dollars that are pouring into Iran are being funneled
    into terrorist organizations worldwide. They believe, and perhaps
    rightly so, that the West will do nothing to stop them in achieving
    their goals. Is history repeating itself? Are the Iranians making the
    same mistake that Hitler made when he attacked Poland? Is the situation
    similar?”

    “As a history teacher who studied the subject thoroughly I can tell you
    that Western victory in World War Two was not all certain. Hitler could
    have won the war if he would have gone ahead with the atomic bomb
    development before the Americans. The Germans began working on it in the
    thirties, and it was Hitler’s decision to prefer building more
    conventional arms, as he considered atomic weapons sheer fantasy. Hitler
    made the wrong decision, but had he made the right decision the world
    would have been a different type of world today, wouldn’t it? The West
    won the war against Hitler by sheer chance. Very few people seem to
    realize that.”

    I must say that his last words shook me up quite a bit. Had Hitler made
    a different decision, I would have died in Dachau, there wouldn’t have
    been a Jewish state called Israel, and most likely there wouldn’t have
    been any Jews left in the world. The idea that the Western democracies
    in general, and the fate of the Jewish people in particular, could have
    hinged on Hitler’s one decision is a scenario of the worst nightmare.

    He notices that his last words had an effect on me and he smiled. “I see
    that my words are not wasted on you,” He said dryly. I nodded and he
    continued with his lecture. “Coming back to our time, the Iranians rely
    on the West doing nothing about their development of nuclear bombs. They
    also rely on their secret weapon: An inexhaustible supply of Islamic
    Suicide Bombers, some of them who are already planted all over the
    Western World.”

    “Besides the Islamic countries that supply these suicide bombers, a
    second front has been opened, and that is the Internet with more than
    five thousand Islamic web sites, brain washing and urging young Moslems
    to become martyrs for Allah. They especially target young Moslems who
    live in Europe and the West in general . The Western intelligence
    authorities consider these web sites a bigger threat than the Iranian
    atomic bomb. Al-Qaida recently issued a television broadcast that
    promised a devastating attack against its enemies this spring. As we all
    know, Al-Qaida doesn’t make empty threats.”

    “Actually, I don’t understand why the Iranians bother to develop atom
    bombs and bring the whole world down on them. Every suicide bomber is a
    potential atom bomb, or a biological, chemical or dirty bomb that can be
    no less devastating than an atom bomb. The Americans and Europeans have
    no defense against this type of war.”

    “What can we do against this type warfare?” I asked him. “Well, you
    Israelis, should better prepare yourself for another round against
    Hezbollah. It will be not long in coming. It depends on the Iranians to
    give the word. This time you will have to destroy Hezbollah no matter
    what the cost may be. Of course, your next round against Hezbollah may
    involve the Syrians and the Iranians against you. The Iranians declared
    that they will not allow Hezbollah to be defeated no matter what and may
    launch their missiles against you. So will the Syrians. What will Israel
    do? It is unlikely that Israel will accept its destruction and may use
    their nuclear arsenal if the West will not come to their help. Perhaps
    our Book of Revelations is not so wrong in describing that the end of
    the world would start at Armageddon, which we know as Har-Megiddo in
    Israel. The Book of Revelations describes the last battle would be
    fought at Armageddon between the ‘Forces of good and the forces of
    evil.’”

    “And who would you call the forces of good? Israel or Islam?” I asked,
    looking him straight in the eyes.

    He gave me a startled look. “If I were a Moslem, I would have no problem
    to name the forces of good and it wouldn’t be Israel. As a Christian, I
    would probably name Israel, but as a Christian Arab I would prefer not
    to answer.”

    We looked at each other. His answer made it clear where the Israeli
    Arabs stood, whether they were Moslems or Christians. And why should I
    be surprised? After all The Israeli Arabs call the establishment of the
    State of Israel their Nakbah. (Their disaster).

    “Is there a way to avoid the ‘Armageddon’?” I asked. “I think there are
    two ways to avoid it. One can be a major war, which the West can win. As
    in World War Two, had the West attacked the Germans in 1936 the war
    would have lasted not more than a month with very few casualties. Thei r
    procrastination resulted in World War II with all its consequences.”

    “Eventually, the West will have to tackle the Iranians. It is better
    that they do it now to avert a world catastrophe later. With Iran
    defeated the Islamic onslaught will lose its base, and it may be the
    turning point in history to defeat the menace of extreme Islam. The
    majority of the Moslems don’t want this confrontation anyway.”

    “You are painting a rather dark picture. When do you think we will have
    the next round against Hezbollah?” I asked.

    “I think they will attack again as soon as they are fully re-equipped
    and I think it will be during the summer, while Israel is still in a
    military and political turmoil.”

    For a while we sat in silence. He finished his second cup of coffee and
    got up. “I know what I am going to do. I am going to Canada to join my
    brother. This country is becoming much too dangerous for Christians as
    well, he said. He thanked me for the coffee and we shook hands.”

    “You said there are two ways to avoid ‘Armageddon,’”" I remembered to
    ask him. “Sure, all the West has to do is follow Putin’s ways. He
    assassinates his enemies without blinking an eye. Assassinate the four
    or five Mullahs who run the show, Achmenijad, and a few more Iranian
    fanatics, and the War can be avoided. It may be difficult to do, but not
    impossible. With today’s hi-tech technology I am sure that new weapons
    against individuals are being prepared right now. I think it would be a
    better way of handling the matter than an all out war against Islam.”

    The conversation with Francis was not more encouraging than the one I
    had with the Palestinian student five years ago. It was becoming clear
    that Israel may be on the forefront for the coming war of the West
    against Islam, unless we follow Francis’ suggestion to assassinate the
    heads of the snake, rather than going to war with Islam.
