One Comment on “Is The Devil Lion Testing You? Hugo Talks”
We are walking on stony ground carrying water, up hills and down valleys. The more Truth we carry the fuller the vessel so the greater the chance to falter and spill that Truth. We are each individually complex, as God made us. Each with our own strengths and weaknesses, which God knows as his own hand. What use to focus on the strengths when the weaknesses are the things that cause us to falter?
There is currently a concerted effort to remove the teaching of Paul from the minds of spiritually thirsty people. Paul the man charged by God to build a bridge between righteous Jews and Gentiles. Paul to me is a very interesting man and it is very apt to consider his life in your current thought pattern. Paul was a very intelligent man (which many people told him, and he himself knew). I do not wish to talk in a disparaging way about anyone and especially not a man of God but intelligence can be a two edged sword. It can be a great strength but also lead to ego and pride. Paul understood this and wrote about it, his troubles with it and even the consequences of it.
1 It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
2 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.
3 And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;)
4 How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
5 Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities.
6 For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me.
7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.
8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.
9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
11 I am become a fool in glorying; ye have compelled me: for I ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing am I behind the very chiefest apostles, though I be nothing.
12 Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds.
13 For what is it wherein ye were inferior to other churches, except it be that I myself was not burdensome to you? forgive me this wrong.
14 Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not yours but you: for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
15 And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved.
16 But be it so, I did not burden you: nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you with guile.
17 Did I make a gain of you by any of them whom I sent unto you?
18 I desired Titus, and with him I sent a brother. Did Titus make a gain of you? walked we not in the same spirit? walked we not in the same steps?
19 Again, think ye that we excuse ourselves unto you? we speak before God in Christ: but we do all things, dearly beloved, for your edifying.
20 For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found unto you such as ye would not: lest there be debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults:
21 And lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed.
2 Corinthians 12: 1-21
I currently struggle in my journey but I want to do what is right, even if I can not achieve that hoped for. I will continue to try hard and not give up the fight falling deeper into unrighteousness, this is my struggle and no one else’s.
Philippians 1
satan hates us all, even those that worship him, he wants us all to suffer and die. We were made in GODs image, not his. Please get out now, accept Christ Jesus and repent your sins it is better to die clean than to die hearing satan laughing at you.
