I believe that place is not on display for all to see. The heart behind each prayer must count some too"the prayer of righteous man avails much (James I think). We must have love, compassion and understanding as we pray. That's probably why I hear so much about how a mother's or grandmother's consistent prayer request for her children have come true. Who can question the love behind that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28637516.post-48483881767047224942006-12-30T11:32:00.000-05:002006-12-30T11:32:00.000-05:00Oh,uh, Phil,

(And he was right.) Plus, he knew he would need the Welsh archers if he was even going to have a chance with the Scots. (By the way, we forgive you guys for that. But we never would have turned on fellow Celts like that.)<br /><br />Son #2, Caleb, plays rugby for the Grand Rapids Gazelles and also at Lake Superior State University up in Sault Ste. Marie. Best game ever. I was in Scotland when we won the Five Nations back in the early '90s I think it was. We should plan a road trip for the Six Nations next time.

This has greatly affected my perspective on "spiritual warfare." I remember my first trip when I was amazed at the various manifestations of demons I saw. When I talked to the brothers there about the "spiritual warfare" they conducted on a daily basis they were surprised. They couldn't believe ministry wasn't like this in the US. They just called it "living the Christian life" in a wicked society. The difference between ministry there and ministry here still makes me stop and think.Shiloh Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00516285675816569740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28637516.post-58446905763897249532006-12-29T21:09:00.000-05:002006-12-29T21:09:00.000-05:00When I said 'confront them face to face," I meant ...When I said 'confront them face to face," I meant confronting the demonic powers without any humans being there.Webb Klinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09686751662694590781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28637516.post-84321613896019923702006-12-29T21:05:00.000-05:002006-12-29T21:05:00.000-05:00I think they work anywhere they must have an open ...I think they work anywhere they must have an open door to work. But you are right, Phil, that we can't say, "Look at the poor, ignorant demon-deceived heathen over there, let's go tell them they need deliverance." Perhaps they do work with the Pagans, but can anyone seriously say they don't work with churches? That's ludicrous. <br /><br />There has to be more deception within religious institutions than just about anywhere else. For the sake of those who don't believe in evil-supernatural manifestations, I will save my butt by not delving too deeply into my personal experiences, but I must say that some of the most horrific encounters I've ever faced happened at church. <br /><br />If we discern that there is a spirit at work in someone or something, then we should pray for wisdom, and if we feel it is necessary, we should go and confront the demonic powers face-to-face. We don't need to offend or alienate people. If we really love them, why would we want to evoke fear and anger in them?Webb Klinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09686751662694590781noreply@blogger.com
