3) How do I know when I am saved?Newness characterizes the person who enters salvation. When there is a
transfer from a dead spirit to a living one our life begins to change. The new
spirit along with God=s spirit will
show us that the life we were living led to only harm and destruction. We will
find that the more we do what God wants us to do, the more joy and peace we will
have in our life. We may feel as if a great weight was lifted off of us, or we
may feel nothing at all. Salvation is a drastic change in one's
life. Salvation could be likened to the fresh painting of the inside of our
house. Not with the same color but a drastic change of colors. If 4) What if I have a strong spirit now? Do I still need to believe in Jesus?A strong spirit is no measure of our right standing with God. Satan is a
fallen angel and as such he knows the laws that govern spiritual things. Some
spiritual laws work for Christians and non Christians alike. Satan |
we left
all our furniture in the same place and painted the room black (from white) what
a shock the color would be! It would be evident to anyone who knows us and many
who don=t know us. It is just this
drastic of a change that takes place at salvation as though we are going from
black to white. Our transformation may be less evident to us than it may be to
others. The reason for this is that all or at least most of our furniture is
still in the same place (our personality is intact). But to others they can only
see the color change, and it is overwhelming.
does not want
children, he wants slaves. He accomplishes this by getting people to turn
themselves over to a "higher power.@
You empty your mind and will and receive his demons. Demons are spiritual beings
that are subject to satan. They can live in people or just hover around them.
They speak to people=s minds, many
refer to them as the voices in their heads. They are able to bring knowledge of
the spiritual, even telling you about other people=s
secrets (Psychics). Some even deceptively are called healing spirits. They carry
power and try to control non-Christians and true Christians. Therefore any
spiritual power that a person possesses that is not through Jesus comes from the
devil himself. It is common for satan to portray himself as a messenger of God
in order to deceive mankind. A spiritual Christian has power over any demon
spirit who is operating in a person, and the Christian has authority to cast out
these spirits.
