Hi Roy. I haven't lived your life exactly, but I know what you are talking about. The truth is setting me free from a lot of the old world stuff too. The teaching and scripture Kat and Marques shared are the things you most need to know.
There IS spiritual warfare, and you may well meet him or one of his messengers if you haven't already. Greater (Bigger, stronger, tougher) is He that is in you than he that is in the world. The serpent's head is crushed under the heel of Christ. That's pretty tough, no matter where you come from. With the Spirit of God, we can be spiritual 'snake handlers', though being a full time rattler-wrangler is a specialty, I think. :D
Don't give the devil more respect than he is due. Frankly, I don't think he's due much respect at all. Christ said, "Get thee behind me, satan." That sounds an awful lot like "Get out of my face." to me.
He may not be everywhere at once, but his Doctrine is, his lies are, and his children are.
Don't be defined by your enemies, though. It's God who tells us who we are. His children will be our Father's children one of these days, just as you and I are becoming. And knowing and holding to Truth will deal with the rest in defense. On the attack? That's another thread. I'm looking forward to that one. :D
God bless you, man.

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

Thanks Kat,
I think that Kat makes a valid point in the above. Through the repetition of reading,
re-reading, meditating and asking further questions on Ray's material helps in the
process of retaining the meaning of all these long and many topics.
I have read every one of Rays Topics at least once and some of them multiple times,
but as Kat mentioned, we might forget some of the material. Sometimes I have personal
discussions with Forum members through the telephone making reference to a point I
remember from Rays material, but forget what topic it came from.
Also, I have at least 50% of Rays material printed, so I can study at work on occasion.
All of the Forum members have different circumstances in regards to available time for
study, deeper research and the level of understanding and ability to retain information
varies amongst individuals. Of course, God is in total control as to how much understanding
each and every one of us receives.
Another point to consider, some of us(including me) MIGHT be focusing on certain areas
of Truth more heavily than some of the other Topics in order to master an understanding
in these particular areas; Examples: The myth of Free will, The true meaning of certain
Greek and Hebrew words, some difficult passages of Scripture; etc, etc.
The Moderators, Rodger, Beloved and others have a much deeper understanding than I
do and regardless of a list of reasons as to why, the facts are the facts. I get great
benefit from reading some of the responses of Marques, Rodger, Kat, Joe Hillsbororiver and
others on topics that I personally haven't had time to examine more thoroughly.
Thanks to those Spiritual heavy hitters mentioned above for the time they devote to
adding insight on different topics for the benefit of the Forum.
Kind Regards, Samson.
Roy Martin:
Thank you Kathy,
Your compassion made me cry,I mean really, but my story isn't about me or for me.Its about God working in me and us and through us.Yes my past was very painful and this might sound strange but I wouldn't change a thing about my past if I could. God worked it all out for the good.Now I thank Him for the trials and hardships I went through.
I see you have a wonderful heart.Its nice to meet you.
God Bless
Roy Martin
Roy Martin:
I thank all of you for your input and sincerity.I am overwhelmed by the love I sense. I have seen and felt more love and compassion and willingness to help and teach in just your responses to my question than I did in going to the church buildings for 10 years.This is what its all about.Man! this is church to me.
Love, peace and joy and all that's good to all of you,
Roy Martin
