An evil spirit
Deborah-Leigh:
Dwight
I read somewhere that Ray prays for all of the Forum members.
I recall your email to Ray and not soon after you joined and added to our fellowship so for this reason I feel confident that you are in Ray's prayers too because you add and build and encourage the fellowship here.
This response from Ray from a person who also is suffering I believe can also touch you and be also for you too as much as the hem of the garment of Christ, though passing by, also was reached for and became the passage through which some poor believing soul received the nourishment of the power of Christ. May this be to you too as you read these words from Ray to his friends
Prayers Please

Note: Timothy Littleton was a Baptist minister who was forced out after
he learmed the Truths of God and began teaching them. We have been friends
for some years now since our Fort Walton Beach Bible Conference.
Hello Ray just asking you and the bible-truth family to keep us in your
prayers. I had to put Ruby in the hospital last week and just brought her home
today.She is doing fair. Hope you and your family are blessed. God bless you.
Timothy
Dear Timothy and Ruby: Our prayers are for God to bring peace and health to your home.It does us well to remember Paul's faith when facing great trials as these:
"For we would not brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia [the Seven Churches were in Asia, and WE are in spiritual Asia today], that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life: But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raises the dead: Who DELIVERED us from so great a death, and DOES DELIVER: in Whom we trust that He will YET DELIVER US" (II Cor. 1:8-10).
God be with you both,
Ray

Hello Dwight,
That situation (of God taking HIS spirit from me and replacing it with an evil spirit) is the scariest thing that I could imagine right now. I actually can't even begin to think that He has brought us this far just to have His spirit taken from us... surely His goodness shall follow us all the days of our lives!
His peace to you and our prayers are with you and your family! Keep us updated on how everyone is getting along, especially you! Your other family is here... :D

Hi Jackie,
Saul lived his life according to the purpose God intended. He was the first king of Israel and in the beginning he was pleasing to God, how he lead Israel. But later it was God's will that Saul serve another purpose and for that He sent an evil spirit. Saul was never converted, without the knowledge of the resurrection of Christ no one in the OT will be in the first resurrection, they will all be judged in the Lake of fire.

Ok Thanks Kat, so there may be times we believe we are not in the will of God but we are living as God intended?
Is there ever a time when we are not living life as God intended?

Ooops what happened to my post? ???
Thanks Kat,
This makes sense about all in the OT.
I remember asking someone a few years ago why John the baptist was not in heaven?
Their reply was oh he is... even though the scriptures says he isn't.
Does anyone recall where scripture says there was no greater man than John the baptist yet he had not ascended to heaven?
Kat:
Hi Jackie,
Here is the scripture you were looking for.
Mat 11:11 Truly I say to you, Among those who have been born of women there has not risen a greater one than John the Baptist. But the least in the kingdom of Heaven is greater than he.

Simply put, if God is sovereign then nobody can ever go against His intentions.
But to give you a little better perspective on this here is an email of Ray's.

Dear Ray,
I read with interest your paper about 9/11. However, I do have a question.
You wrote:
"Isaiah 30:1-3, 6-7”"Woe to the rebellious children [Israel], says the Lord,
that take counsel, but not of ME: and cover with a covering [Heb: make an
alliance or ratify a covenant, but not of MY spirit [Heb: against
My will], that they may add sin to sin ...
"And they reject the counsel of God. They go against Gods will in these
matters ..."
I thought no one COULD go against God's will. Please explain.
God bless,
Sandy
Dear Sandy: People go against God's will ALL DAY LONG. That's what most people's lives consist of--going against God's will.
It is God's purpose, plan, and intentions that absolutely no one has ever or ever will go against.
Listen: It is God's purpose and plan that people GO AGAINST HIS WILL. He purposes for people to go against His will. It is God's will that we all become PERFECT as He is perfect, but it is in His sovereign plan that we all live very imperfect lives before God begins to change us into perfecion.
God be with you,
Ray
