121 | Can the devil tune in to our thoughts? | Bible general Archive 3 | InGodITrust | 188636 | ||
Azure and BradK, Thankyou both so much, I love the poem, please keep myself and my two sons Derek and Daren in your prayers. Today I went to work, a job I have only had for five working days, then after our sales meeting, the owner called me into his office and said "it just won't work." He said I could make allot of money and make him money also, that I was a great guy but I irritate him and he just can't deal with me. Your fired... I pray God that my unwavering faith in God after loosing my wife 8 days ago of which he asked me "all the details of how she died in my 16 year old son's arms on the side of the highway," as I earlier this morning shared with him my faith in Christ. He said "I know your going through a lot right now but I don't need the irritation."... "You just rub me wrong and I don't have to put up with it." Yes........God is so very gracious and continues to be...God Bless His Name..... I know I had better honor my forum name of "InGodITrust," but had no idea that the Lord I serve would ask so much of me. InGodITrust...........Yes I will.......... Thank you and keep us in your prayers InGodITrust |

BradK, Yes, I agree, "why belabor," however, it would be better to, in this case, to give the enemy too much credit, than not too. "If" Satan can, I believe, it is better to have an awareness of the possibility than to ignore. "If" we take the position Satan "can not" it could cause us all to take an assumptive position that could lead to leaving ourselves vunerable. Do you understand what I am saying? I have heard many say he can not, so they assume their thoughts are "protected." If they indeed are not protected it could lead to confusion and allow the enemy to "take advantage of our ignorance." Please...........understand....in this case, my only prayer is that my fellow believers take a defensive posture. I love you all... I have been away from the forum for a week as my wife, Teena, only 55 years old died last Sunday May 6, 2007 God Bless all InGodITrust |

WOS, Thankyou for your response. Please forgive me if you think I put God the Father in the same category as "other spiritual creations." I certainly did not intend that interpretation. My thought was "all spiritual beings," including the Trinity. I was very careful to simply convey thoughts I have had over many years about how spiritual beings, those of the Christian view, communicate and/or obtain knowledge of human activity. Personally, circumstances in my own life lead me to believe that demonic forces can read our thoughts. I have experienced what I thought to be misleading answers to prayer because I had prayed silently, in my heart, then, to have circumstances go contrary to what I thought "God" told me. I have since learned to trust God whole-heartedly in circumstances. I am fully convienced that only God has full and absolute control over circumstances. I do not put faith in what others, nor anything else, say or do, in them selves. I always know how God is leading by and through daily circumstances. Again, personally, I do think demonic forces can read our thoughts. I absolutely make no claim that it is supported through scripture,just as I already stated. I would rather error on the side of caution and take the assumptive postion that thoughts can be read or understood by the enemy than to assume the enemy can not. I believe it is safe to "make the assumption" that it is so rather than make an assumption they can not. I believe the wisest position is never to trust the carnal mind with it's thoughts or obviously thoughts that come and go. I see no harm in taking this postion then to assume satanic forces can not read our thoughts as that would be to fail "to safe guard this vital area." As a rule of thumb anytime scripture is not "absolutely clear," it is wise to take the safest course available. Hope this clarifies why I brought all this up.... InGodITrust |

Matt 6:33, One of my favorite verses, Matthew 6:33.... I would like to add my thoughts to your question of, "can Satan read our thoughts." I realize the Bible does not specifically say yes or no. But think about it, only human beings have a mouth, tongue, vocal cords, and so on; spiritual beings do not of which Satan is one. Second Corinthians 4:4 states, "the god of this world has blinded their minds..." indicating that Satan can/has put thoughts in human minds. To me it is obvious that all spiritual beings communicate (or can) without the use of a "tongue." Well, how then do they communicate if they do not have vocal cords and a tongue? It seems obvious they communicate telepathically. If this is so, I would suggest they can read our thoughts, whether believer or unbeliever. I have walked with God over 40 years and am very conservative and cautious. This is strictly "my opinion" and just that, an opinion. However, I base this on many many years of observation with both myself and others. Again, it is just my observation; But, how else do "spiritual beings communicate?" And, are we also going to say that "God can not or does not read our thougts?" The scriptures clearly say He does, and if so, there is nothing to indicate in scripture that other spiritual beings can not. Psalm 139:4 says, "even before there was a word on my tongue, behold, O Lord, Thou dost know it all." Interesting isn't it............? Your thougts? (or anyone else....) InGodITrust |

Ohop, Your in luck, or should I say "God's grace." It took me a few moments to find it but I thought all along it was the apostle Paul and it was. He loved his people the Jews so much that he wished himself accursed for their sake in that they were refusing to acknowledge Jesus Christ as their Messiah. Glad I could help, God Bless......

M.Royal, I have been looking at all the responses you've gotton since your initial question. I think they and perhaps you have strayed from the context of 1 Timothy 6:3....... Secondly, do you have a specific question regarding the context of 1 Tim 6:3? The context of 1 Tim 6:3 is basically the first two verses. This has to do with Christian respect and obedience to our (today) employers since none of us today are slaves. Verse three would say to us today to obey and loyally respect our employer as if we are serving Christ. The warning in 1 Timothy chapter six is not to pay attention to false teachers who would tell us, or give us, teaching that goes against what Christ taught regarding or service to those in charge or over us. As far as other verses related to "the doctrine of Christ," these have to do with His deity or Lordship in salvation. With regards to all the teachings of the Apostles, as others have indicated (especially in our day and age) your "best foot forward" is all God would ask of you or any of us. Is all the various doctrines taught today confusing and many misleading? "What an understatment!" As others have indicated, the Holy Spirit and much prayer is all that is required. God is not asking us to fret over whether or not "all our doctrines are PERFECT." If you are His child, He will lead you and does not require all you know and do to be "flawless." Hope this helps, did not intend to get in the middle of all this, but when trying to understand Scripture it's "context, context, context." Let me know, InGodITrust |

136 | Michael ; Isarael's protector? | 2 Thess 2:7 | InGodITrust | 188108 | ||
Greetings Mark, I do not know whether to agree or disagree with the web site, just thought you might find it intriguing. Thanks for the comback, seems there may be no clear cut answer for 2 Thess.2 InGodITrust |

137 | Withdrawn or taken out of the way? | 2 Thess 2:7 | InGodITrust | 188085 | ||
Searcher, Ok, I'll go along with that. This whole area is very intriguing, seems as if there is a vast number of opinions. Once I started reading up on it I realized I knew nothing about it at all. As I told Mark the web site has a very lengthy lesson on all of this and it is very interesting. http://endtimepilgrim.org/restrainer.htm Thanks for your input, InGodITust |

138 | Michael ; Isarael's protector? | 2 Thess 2:7 | InGodITrust | 188084 | ||
Mark, No, I am not saying that, nor does it appear that the church is the restrainer, nor (specifically the Holy Spirit) but those "in the know" seem to think Michael the archangel, based on Daniel, seems to be. I can not explain it as this whole area of study is new to me. That is why I gave you the web site: http://endtimepilgrim.org/restrainer.htm There (seems to be) some agreement among those who have studied this particular area that Michael has specific duties concerning Israel. I am completely out to lunch when it comes to discussing this subject, just thought it very compelling what that web site had to say. God Bless, InGodITrust |

139 | Michael ; Isarael's protector? | 2 Thess 2:7 | InGodITrust | 188044 | ||
Mark, You missed my post to you as Searcher56 responded. I just got through going over a very interesting web page that you may want to look at. I had never thought of Michael the arc angel as being the restrainer. I think we (all) have misunderstood who or what the restrainer is or does. Since we are discussing the "the tribulation" and Michael has always been Israel's protector (of sorts) then it may make perfect Biblical sense that if he (Michael) withdraws his protection Israel will be vunerable. As we know Isreal "is front and center" during the tribulation and the fore front of Satanic attack. Something to think about. Check out this web site: http://endtimepilgrim.org/restrainer.htm It appears the web site is sponsored by Messianic Jews......or friends thereof. I found it very interesting in light of what you said the genders of "he" are in 2 Thess 2:7. As I said, we gentiles may have thought of the restrainer "in a general way," while the Jews and tribulation days are clearly in the spot light (144,000); God's climax with Israel prior to the 1000 millennial reign. What do ya think? InGodITrust |

Searcher, It was just a thought; I see a picture there, I stated it was not "an interpretation," just a thought I was sharing with skccab. There are many such beautiful prophetic pictures throughout scripture. I am not trying to be doctrinal, just sharing. Blessings, InGodITrust |
