Through all the blasphemy and hate on R&S your lights are burning bright and people are feeling the affects of Gods love through you.
The enemy and his camp also feeling the affects and this is why the enemy is fighting so much harder.
Heb 10:24 And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works,
Heb 10:25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

What I define as the enemy are ALL those who reject the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the point of blasphemy and daily ridicule and promote paganism as a substitute or alternative, and the very spiritual realm of darkness that drives such people to behave in like manner, i.e. the devil and his angels.

Works for me! We are commanded to let our lights shine in a dark world and not to put them under a basket where they can't be seen.
The Apostle Paul said that we should consider it all joy when we meet with various trials because of the Gospel. Our reward is great in heaven.
Even though we are in a spiritual warfare, we have all the armor we need and the sword of the Spirit. We are promised that if we oppose the devil, he will flee from us in the end.
We are more than conquerors thru Christ. Be encouraged. I find that, even though we face opposition on this forum, our fellow laborers are always there to offer encouragement and edification to one another. Even though we may never have met one another, we are still all a part of the body of Christ and the love among us is evidence of that.
Have a blessed day!

I remember an occasion while ministering at a jail. We had discussed how that Joseph and Mary had left Jesus behind and later found Him at the temple about His Father's business, {Luke 2}.I had mentioned in the discussion that I couldn't remember for sure but I thought Jesus to be about 10.
After closing pray I started to leave.A young man came out from his cell who had not taken part in the discussion, but had been listening.He was angry and started in with some pretty ugly words.He had not appreciated me being there, or so I thought.I was reprimanded for saying that Jesus was 10, he let me know that Jesus was 12.
I think he expected an argument from me but instead I apologized for my mistake and encouraged him to please take part with us next time I came. I left disappointed and feeling inadequate to preach the word.I should have known how old Jesus was.I felt like a workman who had been shamed, and that is just what Satan had wanted me to feel.
That night this young man gave his heart to Christ.He called upon the guards to please let me know how sorry he was, and to let me know that he had excepted Jesus and would be at the next meeting.
We might have so little to give, but when given in the name of Jesus it can turn the world upside down.Praise the Lord!!!

Spiritual healing is a huge need in the Body of Christ. May we uphold each other in prayers and deeds.
Spiritual healing takes place in the "Tree of Life". We are the branches of His Body, until he returns.
Go...
"Go ye therefore, and teach ALL nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost." "Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen." Matthew 28:19-20 (KJV).
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that WHOSOEVER believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life."
John 3:16 (KJV)
"For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him."
John 3:17 (KJV)
Our deliverer promised NEVER to leave our side, so don't falter & weaken my beloved, stand strong & resist the enemy at the gates.
Resist & remain FIRM, planted on the promise of eternity with God....His mighty hand is on our side..... guaranteeing a total & complete VICTORY! Hallelujah!!

it is psychological slavery, this is a coping mechanism for an particularly harsh and actual existence. Manifesting in intolerance, violence and bigotry devoid of concern. each and every faith is susceptible to it, it is of their foundations and ensured by way of propaganda. each and each custom could look after itself in threat of a miles better one conquering it. The extra people you had united below one reason the extra ideal you would be, and therefor the safer your way of existence is. history shows monotheism to be somewhat a unifying tension, even nevertheless it finally isn't. via choosing a faith, you're choosing an component, and are not arranged to return to a compromise with different persons. this is an act of violence on it is very own, and is the muse to non secular wars and conflict, wherein each and each faith believes they comprehend "the actuality" and are therefor extra clever. something exterior of your convenience zones, and information is a possible threat. We worry what we don't comprehend. And worry turns to anger, anger to hate. those searching for a proof and an know-how into homosexuality in 3000 365 days previous scripture are failing each time. technology is coming to comprehend homosexuality, and society is slowly accepting it. people who're religious and conservative at the instant are not establishing themselves as much as new and extra suggestion, as while issues get too perplexing they motel to a e book that asserts "God long gone carried out it", or "God don't love it, and circulate away it at that. only, some all of us is extra soft not understanding what's certainly happening, because of the fact desirous to comprehend extra, will purely pose extra frightening questions. And so while a e book is coaching intolerance at a similar time as coaching people to stay extra clever lives, finished communities are caught in a particular thought formulated via a recommendations they're going to by no potential comprehend. the actuality of homosexuality is that it occurs needless to say, and so who're religions to assert it somewhat is unnatural.

Very encouraging. I do believe great things are happening. The Bible says that God's Word won't return to Him void. That's why so many questions on here command us not to answer with Scripture. Because it's convicting and will either soften or harden the hearts of the hearers. Keep up the good work. Remember.. The gates of hell will not prevail against Christs church., and that one day every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father. God bless!!

Amen brother, Ive stuck with this for about 16 months. I hope some good has come of it. Ever notice when you have an atheist over a barrel, he corrects your grammar or spelling? I think that is so funny.

This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine! LOL Thank you for the encouragement. Please remind our fellow Christians that we are not here to cast judgement. Often I see many fanatical christians damning people to hell. If we can refrain from doing this I think more non believers will take us seriously.

wow, finally a positive question on here. I was reading through a lot of these questions and answers on R&S and there was so much hate and blasphemy and it seemed so endless and hopeless that I was contemplating closing my account. I hate the blasphemous words being spoken everywhere on here, and I feel that no matter how much I may answer I may never make a difference. But thank you so much for your encouraging words.
GOD BLESS.
