EdB, I only gave passages. Nowhere in my answer did I say, "We can bind Satan." Satan will be bound sometime after the Rapture (Revelation 20:2). We can bind the works of Satan, in the Name of Jesus (1 Corinthians 10:13; Jeremiah 1:10). We can also plead the blood of Jesus over ours lives and others, taking the authority over the devil that was given to us when we were filled with the Holy Ghost. In Jude 9, Michael rebuked Satan by simply saying, "the Lord rebuke you." Let's understand revile: it means to "downtalk" or "slander." We, as children of God, don't have to downtalk or slander Satan (or anyone else), it's a waste of time and breath, since he's already defeated. 2 Peter 2:10-14 is a good example of how worthless it is to downtalk or slander spirits of the devil. Again, they are already defeated. Luke 10:19 is when the disciples were given power for what Jesus had charged them to do. But we, as children of God, have also been given power, through that of the Holy Ghost, to do what He has charged us, which is no different than what the disciples were given (Mark 16:17-18). Remember, EdB, when we are no longer bound by the power of sin and death, the devil becomes our enemy. We are not fighting against people and circumstances anymore, we are now in a spiritual war against the devil and his spirits (Ephesians 6:12). You might ask "what are we in a war over?" We are fighting to keep our souls saved and our eternity with God secure and God has given us the power and authority to do so. In no way will Satan walk all over a child of God who knows Whose he/she is and who he/she is in Him. If you think I'm getting too much junk, please pray for me. WalkingTalkingBible |

Salvation is eternal? So are you saying, once saved always saved? What about backsliders? Will they go to the kingdom of God just because they were once saved? So God has Satan on stand-by and everytime we "mess up" He let's him get us (a little to bring us back to humility)? If Salvation is once and for all, why are we in a spiritual warfare? Why do we have to worry about the flesh and its desires if Salvation is a "one-time deal?" Knowing that Jesus IS our protector and mediator, why, then do we have trials and tribulations? Because we're being punished for something we've done? The works of the devil are unbound through sin. Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed for its sin, why then is that same sin present today? Isn't it more than just the flesh and it's desires? I want to encourage a deeper, Holy Ghost led - study and understanding of the truth for all of us (especially me, as I am learning something new everyday). WalkingTalkingBible |

While Salvation is a gift (and a Wonderful gift indeed!), it is a conditional one. Understanding that Salvation, or deliverance, is only through Jesus, we have to acknowledge what He is offering deliverance from. First, there's the deliverance from the bondage of sin. You hit it on the nose: Satan can only present, but we have a choice whether to sin or not. Also, we are empowered by the Spirit of God, Who now dwells in believers, not to sin. Before we are saved, we are overcome by the power of sin. We had no power, in ourselves, against it. Now that we are saved, we have power, not in ourselves, but through Jesus, who now lives in us. In John 10:28-29, Jesus spake of His sheep in eternity past (My Father, which gave them to Me - this is before He even went to the cross, so Salvation hadn't been offered to Gentiles, yet there are going to be both Gentiles and more Jews that will be added to the sheepfold). Which brings us to the second thing we are delivered from and that's death, or eternal separation from God. This is what makes Salvation eternal. Matthew 10:22b says, "but he that endureth to the end shall be saved." This is why we must die daily, if we turn from righteousness and return to sin, we are no longer considered delivered (Ezekiel 18:26-28). However, Salvation is offered to all who are willing to turn from sin and submit to the will of God. We have to continue to submit ourselves to the will of God. As far as Satan and rebuking, binding, what have you, sin is the power through which Satan works. Yes, he is limited by God on what he can do, because he is not in control, God is at all times. But God is the Power that works in the believer against the powers of Satan. 2 Corinthians 10:4-6 tell US to pull down the strong holds . . . Who is it that present these actions? Yes, Satan! This is who we now have the power, through Jesus, to fight. It's not the people who come against us (and sometimes each other), it's Satan and the spirits that follow him (Ephesians 6:12). Jesus didn't suffer, die, and resurrect so that He can have power over the enemy, He already has it. He did it for us. WalkingTalkingBible |

EdB, sorry, I don't mean to ignore the other issues, I don't remember what they are, so I can't say that I agree or disagree. It doesn't seem like you are seeking understanding. It seems more like you are trying to prove me wrong. I say that because I have given you scriptures on everything but "pleading the blood," and you have chosen not to accept what was given. I pray that your understanding will be opened, and I hope you are truly praying for me with the best interest of my soul at heart. While we are all on different faith levels, it is not of God to slander one another, or judge one anther based on what we think we know. No one will get a "diploma" in holiness, we're all trying to make it to be with God. When I see someone is unable to understand at the time, I don't keep plucking away at them. I know "some sow, some water, but God gives the increase (1 Corinthians 3:6-8)." Neither do I say that they are being falsely taught because I don't know their hearts, only God does. I don't know everything, so I can't say what everyone else is saying is false, unless it is not according to Scripture. If you carefully read my answers, you will find that I never said anything about "saints binding Satan." I haven't found the bible to directly say, "plead the blood," but I know that I am saved by the blood of Jesus - no one else's blood was good enough. I know that there is power in the Name of Jesus. If you read Mark 16:17-18, you'll see that believers will be enabled to do the works that Jesus did. Jesus says in John 14:12, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father." In the beginning of Acts, the Holy Ghost was poured out on believers. After that, throughout Acts, we see miracles, healings, and demons being cast out. They worked many "miracles and signs." Well, we have this same power through our faith and commitment to Jesus, who was God in the flesh. Casting out demons is a process which includes binding. Demons do not work apart from Satan, so what they do are his works. That's where the phrase, "bind the works of Satan" comes from. I know that whatever you do against the enemy, you must be covered by the blood of Jesus and I know that every spirit is subject to the name of Jesus. I wouldn't try to bind and rebuke anything without having Jesus living in me! If you are filled with the Holy Ghost (with the evidence of speaking in tongues as the Spirit of God gives utterance) then you have the same power (through Jesus). If the Old Testament can be applied to our lives, why is it so hard to apply the New Testament to our lives? WalkingTalkingBible |

Hank, I put that in there (with the evidence of speaking in tongues as the Spirit of God gives utterance) because there are many that speak in tongues but the tongues are not from God. Speaking in tongues is the initial sign to the other people of God that the believer has received the Holy Ghost (Acts 2:4; 10:44-46; 19:6). The believer knows that the Holy Ghost is dwelling in them because there is a change in the way of life. And I agree, the fruits of the Spirit are far better evidence of the indwelling of the Holy Ghost than tongues. I know some people who spoke in tongues when they were filled with the Holy Ghost and then they went back to their worldly ways. Some churches today have tarrying services to help "seekers" receive the Holy Ghost. I don't really agree or disagree with it, but I know you can receive the Holy Ghost anywhere and not just in a tarrying service. Speaking in tongues, other than the gift, has nothing to do with your spiritual walk. WalkingTalkingBible |

Backsliders are ones who were once living according to the will of God and turned again back to their worldly and carnal ways. "Believe" means more than "what one feels is right" or what one's beliefs are." To spiritually believe is to be fully committed to, fully accept, to fully trust (look up the greek word for "believe" in the concordance) God. You have a choice to live according to the will of God or not. Someone who has returned from following God back to the "world" is considered a backslider. Israel received the label "backsliding" because they had turned from the ways of God to serving idols and practicing sin. If salvation (being delivered) was a one time deal, then we wouldn't need the Holy Ghost. We wouldn't need to die daily to ourselves. We wouldn't have to resist the devil. We wouldn't have to abstain from every appearance of sin. Eternal life in John 3:16 means that those who are committed to (and remain committed to) the Word of God (Jesus) will have eternal life. But if you return to practicing sin, and you die (or the Rapture takes place) you will still have eternal life, just not with God. (Proverbs 14:14; Jeremiah 2:19; 3:6,8,11-12,14,22; 5:6; 8:5; 14:7; 31:22; 49:4; Hosea 4:16; 11:7; 14:4; Ezekiel 33) WalkingTalkingBible |

I'm sorry (and very concerned) that you can't agree with what I've written about tongues, which were Scriptures. Please ask God to fill you with the Holy Ghost (we can never get too much). Also, Morant61 has given you the correct interpretation of the Scriptures you use to justify your stand on tongues. Kalos has given an excellent website with questions and answers about tongues and the Holy Ghost. Please read and ask God to open up your understanding. Don't miss out on the fullness of the Holy Spirit! WalkingTalkingBible |

Hi Ken John, along with what Prazn has answered, the Holy Ghost that was poured out on souls in Acts is the same Holy Ghost today. What has changed is the church. The in-dwelling of the Holy Ghost - the Spirit of God living inside the believer - empowers the believer to do the ministry that God has called him/her to do. Also, the Holy Ghost empowers the believer to serve God spiritually as opposed to doing what one thinks is right, or the best one can do (Acts 1:8). I've visited churches where people go through the routine sermon, sing some songs, take the offering, and go home. There's no power in religion. But I pray that you get a chance to get a relationship with God - one that's above knowing all of your Bible and theology (the devil also knows the Bible), but a genuine relationship where you actually get to know Him. He's a living Being! You'll find that the presence of God is unlike anything else in the world! Today, most of the time people speak in tongues is when they are rejoicing and praising and letting God have His complete way with them! It happens to me! There are believers, today, who have the gift of tongues and believers with the gift of interpretation. There's just no way you can have the presence of God Almighty and all you do is nod and clap your hands. God says in 1 Thessalonians 5:19, "Quench not the Spirit" and that's what has happened today. The Holy Ghost, that Fire, has been put out in many of the souls today. These walk around with their theology and knowledge of what the Bible says, dignified and prompt, but no real knowledge of who God is. They only know what the "book" says, they've never experienced anything. Although many teach that 2 Timothy 3:1-4 is talking about unbelievers, it is actually speaking of those who claim to believe. Verse 5 says, "Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away." Verse 7 of the same chapter says, "Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth." Jesus says in John 14:10-12: "Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father." Notice He says, "he that believeth on Me" which refers to all who believe (commit to, trust, accept). We as believers have to choose to grow spiritually, God won't MAKE us do anything. We, as children of God, are responsible for bringing souls to Christ and the Holy Ghost is willing to empower us to do so, if we are willing to allow Him. (I guess this is why I was called a "false teacher" by many in this forum because I told of binding and loosing and casting out devils. I understand, now, that without the Holy Ghost, none of this can even be understood, let alone performed. Anyhow, I pray for the souls of all and say, "Let God be true and every man a liar") Your Sister in Christ, WalkingTalkingBible |

Thanks, jcsav, and you're right, the True Church hasn't changed. That's why when a spiritual truth is spoken, it is causes much persecution. But I rejoice! Broad is the way. . . and I'm going to stick to the truth as opposed to what I think and what theology and religion says. I believe that after the truth has been given, it's up to the individual to choose. I agree, also, that God always will have a Witness. Many are called, but few are chosen. WalkingTalkingBible |

Hi, Rowdy, how is the Holy Ghost different in the apostles as in other believers? "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father." - John 14:12 There's only one way to get power from God and that is to have Him living on the inside and totally yield to Him. Humans don't have power, all power comes from God (Matthew 28:18). Even the apostles were powerless until they were filled with the Holy Ghost. Faith moves God, period, and without faith, it is impossible to please God. Who can God use today to work miracles and do as Jesus did? True believers who are willing to believe and be used by God. God doesn't discriminate, He doesn't have favorites. He loves us all and whoever is willing to do His will are the ones He'll use. There's nothing new under the sun, the same issues then, we have them now. People are in need of deliverance, but there are too many professing that will sit back and say, "I'll pray for you" or quote some Scriptures instead of getting their hands dirty and leading these souls to Christ. There are many souls who we come in contact with: oppressed , depressed, sick, and tormented; the Holy Ghost is much too powerful and loving to only give these people the Word. God knows that it takes more than giving the Word and praying for some, that's why He promised to live in believers. Anyone can quote some Scriptures - even satan knows the Word of God. When was the last time he layed hands on someone to heal them? Probably the same time some of the professing only s-aints. It's sad how today's religion and intellectual theologists have put God "in a box." All of a sudden, the Holy Ghost is powerless and the works done in the early church no longer exists. I invite every professing saint to ask God to fill them with the Holy Ghost and give them the mind (or heart) to have compassion for these souls out here - to be willing to do more than talk the Word, but also do the Word. You'll find that your relationship with God is much more rewarding when He's using you for the purpose He created you. WalkingTalkingBible |

Hi, Rowdy! My position, my point, my question is, How has the Holy Ghost changed? Why is it now believed that only the early Church was empowered by the Holy Ghost to work miracles and have spiritual gifts? "I am the Lord, I change not." - Malachi 3:6a Yes, I know many (one very personally) who God uses to heal, cast out, speak and interpret tongues, whatever means of deliverance the soul needs according to the leadership of the Holy Ghost. I don't know what "sherking" means and I am aware that there are many false teachers, but God is living! Is it because the Holy Ghost is not actually dwelling within, as some claim? It seems that if the we all had the Holy Ghost we would be all with one accord (granted there are different levels of faith). We would have the same concerns and compassion for others as God has. It takes more, for some souls, than giving them a word and telling them you'll pray for them. It takes more than a ministry that tells people what they should do, it takes deliverance and if the Holy Ghost dwells within, then the power needed is there. Maybe you're thinking of the TV evangelists that put on a big show, healing and doing whatever. I'm talking about bringing souls to Christ and helping them be delivered from strongholds and curses that they were bound to as unbelievers and wrestle with as believers. Tim Moran has given you some great points in his posts. I know, personally, that God doesn't live in us so we can sit back and do nothing in the lives of others. I, personally, get my hands dirty. I know that without God, I am nothing, but I can do all things through Christ, Who strengthens me! Like Tim stated earlier, people are doing things their way - programs and stuff. But the true Church will do things God's way! I've concluded, from some of the posts of other forum participants concerning miracles, signs and wonders, that: 1) they think little of God OR 2) they think He's different from the God of the early Church OR 3) they don't know God Many know what the Word says literally, but don't KNOW the Word. I'm concerned because the devil knows what the Word says but he will not put It into action! "But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost" 2 Corinthians 4:3 WalkingTalkingBible |

32 | when was lucifer kicked out of heaven | Genesis | WalkingTalkingBible | 117642 | ||
Revelation is not just a prophesy of the last days, it is the actual revelation of Jesus Christ, in whom all things were made (John 1:1-3,14). God doesn't have a beginning or end and Jesus is our beginning and end (which is God, His Word). Revelation 12 is a very good example of the summary of the beginning to the beginning of the tribulation period. The woman is the nation, Israel. The crown of twelve stars symbolizes the twelve tribes of Israel. The child is Jesus. This chapter tells us what went on in the beginning. Before the earth and heavens were created, all this had taken place, thus taking us to Genesis 1:2 where the devil had already been expelled from Heaven, he and a third of the host of heaven (Revelation 12:4). | ||||||

Satan is an angel, or spirit, created by God. How does Job 1:6 prove that Satan was not kicked out of Heaven? He came to present himself like the rest of the angels. The angels ascend and descend all the time (John 1:51). Satan is not in control, he has to also submit to God. WalkingTalkingBible |

38 | Can unbelievers pray to God? | Prov 28:9 | WalkingTalkingBible | 133196 | ||
Yes, God heard Cain's prayer, but this was in a different dispensation (Conscience). He wasn't dealing with man the same way He's dealing with us. The question was "Can unbelievers pray to God (not the prayer of Salvation) and have their prayers answered?" The answer is found in Scripture concerning the dispensation when Salvation is offered - now. There's no excuse (Romans 1:20) for a soul not to accept Salvation. This doesn't mean that God doesn't have compassion for the unbelievers, as He only knows what it takes to win a soul - but they have their choice as to what they want to believe. Although, God is merciful, He is also just. He turned His ear away from His own until they turned from their wicked ways (2 Chronicles 7:14). I'd have to stick with Scripture on this one. "For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and His ears are open unto their prayers; but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil." 1 Peter 3:12 WalkingTalkingBible |

I know what you, mean! I don't mind you being long winded, I love to hear testamonies on how God is giving the victory in others lives. You're right, I'm also God's witness. Yes, I have given her the verses on robbing God in tithes, offerings and the blessings (Malachi 3:8-12). I've also given her spiritual advice on believing in God which is trusting Him for everything and also on giving ungrudgingly. The problem I run into the most in teaching about tithing is that people say that they can't afford to tithe. What they don't understand is that they can't afford NOT to tithe! Thanks for your response. WalkingTalkingBible |
