He IS encouragement and hope!

Good Evening,

As an addendum to this morning's post, when I was checking out the order of the Ten Commandments (ie for the 9th Commandment), the book mark, which happened to have the Ten Commandments written on it, was 'resting' in Job 42: 10. I have several bookmarks (but only one, with the Commandments!) in the Bible, but this one 'happened' to open immediately to Job 42! That has occured a number of tid times to me; and this particular passage gives me wonderful tidbits of encouragement!

Also, received this illuminating article from our dear friend. This bittidz is so true. A heartfelt and special 'thank you' to him.

Spiritual Harassment
by Os Hillman

"Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour" (1 Peter 5:8-9).

I was twenty years old when I approached the first tee of the sectional qualifying round of the Professional Golfers Association US Open, one of the most prestigious golf tournaments in the world. I was a college golfer and was teeing it up with the world's best golfers. I was competing against many of the tour players for only a handful of spots available to get into the tournament.

I was called to the tee and teed up my ball when something unusual happened. As I am looking down at my ball I notice the shoes of someone standing no more than two feet from where I am about to tee off. I am thinking to myself with great irritation, "Who in the world is standing this close to me!?" I look up and it is Sam Snead, still one of golf's greatest players. This man was known for intimidating tactics. But this was beyond belief. Here he was trying to intimidate a young college player. I proceeded to ignore his presence and hit the ball straight down the fairway.

In the spiritual realm we deal with spiritual harassment from Satan and his legions. The Bible says "our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms" (Eph. 6:12). It is important to recognize when we are coming against these forces. Satan attempts to distract us from our calling and destiny in life. We often trivialize the reality of the spirit realm of evil.

Paul tells us we must set our minds to deal with the spiritual realm of evil when it impacts our lives. "Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. (Eph 6:13).

The next time you feel obstacles have been placed in your life designed to distract you from your God-ordained mission, remember Paul's words and stand firm in Christ."


Oh! Forgot to mention also this bittid! This past Wednesday, I had a first time glimpse of the ministry of Pastor Benny Hinn. I 'happened' to turn on the TV and it was as if I was being being 'directed' to listen to his dynamic message. It was most enlightening!

In closing, he makes mention of Psalm 91; 1-3. (I referred to Psalm 91, in my December 13th post of Prayer and your daily walk! so again, there are NO coincidences). Since I only saw the last few minutes of the program, I just tuned into his online ministry to watch and listen to his insights. ie. THIS IS YOUR DAY Dateline Israel, Part 3

I felt as if I was 'right tidbit there' on the shores of Galilee! In our dreams, Alan and I would love to go on a tour to the Holy Land! Wow! And to simply have the magnificent gift to dip our bit feet into the Sea of Galilee and walk where Jesus walked! Wow!
In his powerful message (and I mean powerful!), Pastor Benny Hinn refers to Matthew 12: 43-45, Very knowledgable and helpful about DISCERNING between God and ever present lurking demons. All the more vital, for us to put on the whole armor of God (Esphesians 6) as we must always be steadfastedly on the alert!

This is Pastor Benny Hiinn's site, with a tidbitz of info.www.bennyhinn.org/
To quote: "This memorable broadcast from Gadara, on the shore of the Sea of Galilee, features Pastor Benny Hinn’s powerful teaching on the demon-filled young men who lived in that area 2,000 years ago. Citing Mark 5 and Luke 8, he describes how the night would be filled with howling and screaming. Then one day Jesus came by and set the man free! What happened to change everything for this young man? More importantly for you, how can you and your loved ones be set free from any bondage that may be holding you back? Get ready for this powerful teaching on deliverance!"

Tidbit - Always Seek Him and wisdom. "Seek and ye shall find."

Bittid - The TRUTH sets you free! (ie being indwelt by the Holy Spirit!).

I love this photo image, which appears to be at dusk! It looks so restful, radiating such a quiet and comforting calm!

Whomever reads my posts, may they receive several tids and bits of encouragement and inner strength for each and every day.

Peace and God Bless.
