Satan and omni present

Heidi:
Hi there George......Roy Martin is a newbie and I thought that the mods did an excellent job of pointing him in the right direction.  Plus, it was good to reread the material again.  Never forget where we came from......endure to the end.  If Roy Martin does not take this advise and study what has been given to him, then it is between him and God.......and also remember my brother in Christ, millions of people read this site as well........good stuff for them to read or what!  ;D

Roy Martin:
Thank you everyone for your answers,
I'm sorry that my question seems to be a little unimportant.
The last time I was in church, the pastor was talking about stewardship of money, and our time.He said he had to make a decision that was unpopular about his time because people were stealing his time from doing more important things.Well I haven't been back and will never go  back but not just because of that.Ive been set free from that with the truth.
My step father use to molest me when I was 7-8 years old. My mother was murdered when I was 13. I ended up in a reform school a few months after her death.I had a hate in me that I carried until just recently of coming to bibletruths.In just one night a few weeks ago I had a dream or a visit from God and he took that hate from me and put in me a love I never had.Now I don't hate my past step father or the homosexual.
I grew up in the drug world starting at age 15.I'm now 55 years old or young.I grew up on the streets as some put it.I ended up being rated by the FBI and DEA as one of the top 10 marijuana growers in the nation.
One of the many things one learns to survive in that world is to know your enemy,and I mean every little thing because its that one thing that seems unimportant that will take you down. I had to be a warrior to get where I was and to stay on the top.Well now I am still a warrior that wears the armor of God and He is my strength but I still need to know my enemy.I might be wrong about this and need to give up this kind of thinking as I have many things still to battle and overcome.The good thing is Im all for truth or I wouldnt be on this forum or reading bible truths or left the church.
Im very thankful for all of you.Im glad you are here.
Love
Roy Martin

Roy Martin:
Hello George,
After giving it some thought,it might be that your right that I should search and study more before asking questions. Too often I tend to seek answers from people rather than counting on the Spirit that is in us to give me the answers. Every time I stand on the promise of the comforter and say,"I need this answer from You,You promised us this and I expect to receive it,well I usually get it, but most of the time it takes meditating a lot and suddenly there it is.I have also found out though that just out of the blue while talking about God and His word or just listening to someone talk about God,or a testimony that an answer would come to me or a revelation of some kind.It always makes me feel so good when this happens.
  For 45 years I lived and saw everything in the flesh,carnal.Just 10 years ago I thought I didnt even believe in God but at times would catch myself cursing Him.I thought that if there was a God that He was mean and cruel.I thought  I had it made with all that cash from my pot fields and such, but over night God brought me to my knees and shattered that world,(understatement).I started crying out to God in complete torment that took many years before God took away the pain,a pain that I cant even describe. There is much more to this story but we dont need to go there.I ended up in prison during this hardship,but still kept seeking God and it was while I was in prison that God used me the most.People that didnt even know me would come to me and just start opening up to me and say they could see something good in me and felt like they could talk to me.For a while I didnt know how to except this but I always would say, "its not me but the Spirit that they were drawn to.Some would ask questions and some wanted to share their heart with me.Most of the time I didnt have a clue as what to answer or say but God would always put the words in my mouth.It was a wonderful feeling,not a puffed up thing but wonderful.I seldom can remember what came out of my mouth half the time. The neatest thing was that  what God said to them was also revelation to me and answers to things I was dealing with. There have been times when some one would start talking to me and be asking questions when I didnt want to hear them and then suddenly I would realize that it was God that sent this person to me and I would start to listen and wow there's that wonderful feeling again.I will give you one more story of prison time.
I noticed this man a few feet from me as I was playing guitar with a few other men.I sensed that he was trying to get my attention or was waiting for a chance.I ignored him and went about my business.Later that night I felt terrible about it.I asked God to forgive me and to give me another chance.I knew I had to make it right so I found him sitting alone at a table. I sat down next to him and said, "I cant keep from feeling that you want to talk to me.He swelled up with tears in his eyes and said he had been trying to get near to me for several days to ask and talk about God and some promises he made to God but didnt keep his promise and other things that was hurting him.I dont know what I said to him but he left with a smile on his face as if a giant load came off of him.We became to be very good friends and did alot of fellow shipping.My point is, his blessing was my blessing and it was more than wonderful.I have many stories like this that I will share as I grow more in Christ.
I know that when some one has a question or just wants to share with me, that Im being tested and am about to be blessed.I love to be used by God.It gets a big Wow! feels good thing that you want more of.
Peace my new friend
Roy Martin

Ninny:
Oh WOW! Roy, you have been through so much pain in your life! I am glad you have found peace and healing. My prayer for you would be that God will continue your healing and will use you in fantastic ways you couldn't begin to imagine! I know that what WE think God may do in us is not even CLOSE to what God really wants to do in us! ;D
Keep growing in Him!
Kathy :D

But George, that is what we are here to do... discuss Ray's teachings.  Even after reading through all of Ray's articles, can we remember all that we have studied in them?  I know I retain only a small portion of what I read, of course going back to reread is very helpful. 

Another thing is, I know it is difficult to find where Ray has spoken on a particular thing,  so people need help locating what they remember but can't find. 

And there are little bit and pieces more that can be filled in, from the Scriptures, from what Ray has in him articles.  I know until I looked up all those Scriptures and studied that part of Ray's paper, this subject was not real clear to me.  So now I have a much better understanding of it.

I think you can see what i am getting at.  We are all helping each other along here, those that ask and those that answer, and those that just read.  I think the more we go over a subject the better we understand it.  Just thought I would share my thoughts on what you were saying.

mercy, peace and love

Thank you Kat, you have expressed my very thoughts articulately.  In fact, before even reading this thread and because I had started a similar thread, I recalled hearing/reading exactly what Roy Martin said:

I totally got beside myself in my first message and forgot my subject of Satan and omni presence
Some one asked me or commented that Satan couldn't be in all the churches at the same time,that he can be in only one place at a time.I have never seen this in scripture. I know nothing of Satan on this topic. Can someone give me some insight?
Thank You
Roy Martin

And since BT is the only place I read, I spent quite some time searching for this and could not find it.  My point is, you are correct when you say sometimes people read things don't retain all the details and then can't find where they read it in the first place.  Happens to me ALL the time.

Someone showed me this google search.  In the search box I put the topic or words I am looking for and then "site:Bible-truths.com" to search what I am looking for within the BT site only.  For example:  

Does satan exist site:bible-truths.com

This brings up all of the threads, emails, papers etc that contain the topic Satan within bible-truths.com.  It works beautifully and there is Soooooooooo much information to be found.  

Hope that helps some to find what they are looking for.
