Psalm 91:9-13
9 Because you have made the LORD, who is my refuge,
Even the Most High,your dwelling place, 10 No evil shall befall you,
Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;

11 For He shall give His angels charge over you,
To keep you in all your ways. 12 In their hands they shall bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone. 13 You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra,
The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.


Luke 10:19,20
19 "Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. 20 "Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven."


Mark 16:17,18
17 "And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18 "they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover."

Good morning dear Dawn.Have a blessed day!

HI, D.D PLEASE PM ME THAT LESSON ON BEING IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD. THANKS!

Are you sure you have a teachable spirit? Do you really know the true meaning of the word DISCIPLESHIP? Or do you feel offended when someone who knows more about God's word and wants to share and teach you but you declined. Well, below just a few of my views:

Sadly, the Church has forsaken discipleship, and has left its members to figure out these spiritual growth things on their own. In doing so, it causes many to give up on Christianity, while others become confused, calloused, or complacent, or they are swept away by false doctrines and cults because they do not know the difference. It is difficult for the non-Christian to except a Savior when they think they have to give up their rights. It is similarly difficult for the Christian to live a life that is truly surrendered and poured out to the sovereignty of God. Yet, true discipleship cannot begin until we learn one key important aspect of life: there is one God and you are not He! We must learn to yield to the Lordship of our God and not to the desires of our will. When we do this, the discipleship process can begin. However, when we refuse, we will be the strife and conflict that gives Christianity a “black eye.” We become the problem rather than the solution.

"Then He spoke many things to them in parables, saying: “Behold, a sower went out to sow. 4 And as he sowed, some seed fell by the wayside; and the birds came and devoured them. 5 Some fell on stony places, where they did not have much earth; they immediately sprang up because they had no depth of earth. 6 But when the sun was up they were scorched, and because they had no root they withered away. 7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up and choked them. 8 But others fell on good ground and yielded a crop, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. 9 He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

There are three main areas or principles in discipleship:

1. Relationships and Mentoring

2. Teaching

3. Service

YOU NEED TO BE DISCIPLED YOURSELF FIRST. YOU ARE NOT READY TO ENTER THE PRESENCE OF GOD. CAN YOU PRAY FOR MORE THAN THAN 3 HOURS OR MORE EVERYDAY WAITING FOR THE PRESENCE OF GOD?
