I think we also need to remember, by God's grace, that this world is not our home. A thousand years from now, in God's kingdom, will it matter that you didn't get accepted by that social group? That you didn't get that job you so desperately wanted? That the guy/girl you wanted didn't like you? These things don't really matter, they are really just distractions in our walk with God. Has He not said He will provide for our every need if we make Him and His kingdom our first priority? That He will give us the desires of our heart? Do we believe Him? Then chill. ALL things work together for good to them that love Him. He is faithful Who promised.

Success with God ain't it so good, ain't it so fulfilling, ain't it a long term satisfaction,ain't it stay in mind, and ain't it bring true peace...

There is this funny thing. Witches requires blood sacrifices in order for things to happen. If not all, a number of christians fear them greatly(I can't refuse I was one of them). However this brings a contradiction to what we believe. We believe that God is almighty and yet we fear these pple:'powerfull', 'unfathomable' pple . Most fear these witches more than they fear God.What thing do we know about them ? They require sacrifices to work!Note SACRIFICES! While us there ain't other sacrifice except than that was shed on that old rugged cross. We have a great God that loved us so much as to come down from Heaven and decend onto earth, took the form of man His creation and lived and was crucified on that cross. We have a great God, a caring father, a loving father.Only trust(pro 3:3-5), obedience(1 Samuel 15:2) and faith(heb 11:6). His Kingdom runs not on daily sacrifice, but on MERCY(Lamentations 3:22-23), LOVE(Lamentations 3:22-23, ps 100:5, Rom 5:8),GRACE(Ephesians 2:8-9), that comeforth from that one very sacrifice. So chose Whom do you truly believe !?

What hogwash! I don't fear witches! Speak for yourself!

Edit. I have aplogized for this. I'm sorry.

Jesus was sacrificed ONCE for ALL. That's it. He is all we need. I could tell you so many stories of our missionaries who have gone to foreign countries and had to deal with people possessed of demons, or confronted by witches, and who was afraid? Not the missionaries! They cast out demons in Jesus' name, they heal the possessed, and the witch doctors end up converted and baptized.

There is a ve...ry big secret hided in ps 23, and it also can be linked to Jeremiah 2:13.
•Psalms 23:2,
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake
•Jeremiah 2:13
“My people have committed two sins:
They have forsaken me,
the spring of living water,
and have dug their own cisterns,
broken cisterns that cannot hold water.
-Look at this two lines:
"beside quiet water" and "forsaken me, the spring of living water and have dug their own cisterns, broken cistern that cannot hold water"

This is a saddening one:
John 14:31, John 14:29
The devil was reffered to as the 'prince of the world' not King. YWHW is the King of all. He reigns above all. When man was created, he was meant to be the sole prince of the world to have dominion over all, but when he fell the role was lost and the devil snatched the title .
The devil was coming to make Jesus to suffer as much as possible even to death so that Jesus would disobey His Father so He,Jesus, would fail in whatever mission He was sent to accomplish without knowing that that same suffering was what the son was sent to accomplish.He had actually been used by God to accomplish Jesus' mission.
Jesus was informed of the devils arrival. Hence said those verses. He even said the same thing that the devil was sent to show Jesus' obedience to the father and to show us Jesus' love to the Father, mind you love means to obey as taught by Jesus in the previous verses .Jesus obeyed God even if it meant death trusting in Him.How much more should we obey God if we are truly following Christ example. What is that which HE told you to do/ not to do???
