PASTORS OUTLINE STRESS:
THE CHOICE WEAPON OF SATAN January 31, 1999 When God created man, he created him in the image of God, with a physical body, a soul and a spirit. Genesis 1:26-27; Hebrews 4:12 When Adam and Eve sinned, their spirits died, and from that moment each baby born is born with a dead spirit. That's why Jesus told us, you must be born again! 1 John 3:3-8; Ephesians 2:1-5 When God created the physical body of man, it was designed to survive in a hostile environment, crawling with germs and viruses. The endocrine system in the body is the masterpiece of this immune system. But the body is run by the soul. If the soul is sick, the body will break down. Proverbs 15:13, 17, 18, 22 SPIRITUAL TRUTH: Satan and his demons attack the soul of a man, but he is using people to attack the body of a man! 1 Peter 5:7-9 Satan has taught fallen men to use chemicals to block the soul and change the metabolism of the human body. Proverbs 20:1, 23,29-35; Hoses 4:11-14, 7:1-5; Habakkuk 2:15-17 Definition of the word "witchcraft:" To alter something in the physical world with Satan's spiritual power. The word for "drugs" in Greek is "Pharmakia," which also means "sorceries." Revelation 18:23 The Devil attacks the soul of a man with these weapons: UNBELIEF (Hebrews 11:6; James 1:1-8); DOUBT (Judges 6:11-24); DEPRESSION (Psalm 6:1-10, 42:1-11); GRIEF (Psalm 31:9-24); DECEPTION (II Peter 2:14); FEAR (II Timothy 1:6-10) PART B February 07, 1999 Satan has released his knowledge In this area to evil men, who through Rock 'n' Roll music and its beat will alter the flow of electricity in a person exposed to It. Also through deliberately creating strong electrical signals and magnetic fields, men can alter the electrical signals sent out by the soul via the brain to the body. Thus they can create disease or alter behavior. HOW TO GUARD YOUR SOUL The Word of God tells us, that God will not allow us to be tempted (stressed) above our ability to withstand it. I Corinthians 10:13-14 God is upholding the soul of a man - Psalm 66:8-10 When the soul is well, the body is healthy! Proverbs 16:24; III John 2 Jesus told us that He and the Father are dwelling in the believer: John 14:20-27,18:33; Romans 5:1-5 Recite God's miracles in your life - Deuteronomy 6:1-9 Move Into the supernatural realm of God on a daily basis Matthew 11:28-30; Psalm 23:1-6 WHO ARE YOU GOING TO PUT YOUR TRUST IN? GOD, YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER OR THE DEVIL WHO IS A LIAR???? John 8:44, 10:9-11 |
