No son,you're not older than anyone in spirit. We have people here that have served the Lord for years,we have pastors here,Sunday school teachers. I was in ministry for 20yrs, almost as long as you have been alive. If we add together all the years of ministry here it would definitely be long than you've been alive. Are you telling me you're as spiritually mature as saints that have been on the road 20,30,40 years?! I hardly think so. You have an unteachable spirit and you'll burn out fast if you don't learn to zip it and listen to elders above you. I have a wonderful preacher as my pastor and you know what? He says "I don't know it all. There are things you'll ask that I dont know the answer to,but we'll learn together." Teachable spirit. We all need to have one.If saints on the road longer than me haven't "arrived" how do you think you have? You're a pup in the Lord. And it would greatly benefit you to slow down,listen and learn from the wonderful saints here.It would also benefit you to respect your elders as the Bible says. And it would really benefit you not to threaten me,I don't take kindly to it.
HAH....
I have to be honest, I have little knowledge of the enemy, and I do not want to converse
or compare. I have one Lord and Him I follow.
Nothing stands in the way of the will of the Lord and that is all I need to know.
What I have learnt is if a believer gives the enemy authority or respect, it dishonours
our Lord and is sinful, breaking the link we have. The Lord can and does hand people
over to the enemy to show them what this means. So be very careful how you tread
in this arena.
In the Lords prayer Jesus says
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.
Matt 6:13
It is Gods authority by which we defeat the enemy and not our own.

Well now that is entirely up to you! Ive made friends here with people that didn't care for me in the least. Ive been on the road too long to play patty cake with folks. Now if you get real and show me some maturity and start talkin some sense we'll get along right fine. We might,gasp,agree. But again,that ball is in your court. Blessings

Thanks for the rep brother Tourist. Ive learned much from elder saints,whether here or in the everyday world.Nothing makes me more annoyed when young people disrespect elder saints. It shows just how spiritually immature they really are.Both you and Mrs. Tourist have shared your deep wisdom with us and we're all better for it.I cannot abide disrespect.
I sure am enjoying that clarity of thought and the light of way.
I shall greatly benefit from it and it will reward me
continually every moment of every night and day.
Never ceasing.
I felt it come upon me the very moment I read your post.
I knew I had it and was immediately made different by the Spirit of the Lord.
I think it is marvelous.
How about you? Did you get anything?
