THE SWAP MINISTRIES

For as the rain and snow come down from the heavens, and return not there again, but water the earth and make it bring forth and sprout, that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater, So shall My word be that goes forth out of My mouth: it shall not return to Me void [without producing any effect, useless], but it shall accomplish that which I please and purpose, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it. ISAIAH 55:10-11 Up to this time you have not asked a [single] thing in My Name [as presenting all that I Am]; but now ask and keep on asking and you will receive, so that your joy (gladness, delight) may be full and complete. JOHN 16:24

Satan, the devil is "the ruler of the kingdom of the air." Satan and his evil forces inhabit the region between earth and the sky. Satan is pictured as ruling an evil spiritual kingdom., with the demons and those who are against Christ! In the resurrection, Christ was victorious over Satan and his power. Therefore, Jesus Christ is the permanent ruler of the whole world! Satan is only a tempoary ruler of part of the world that choses to follow him. The fact that all people, without exceptioon, commit sin proves without Christ we have a sinful nature. We are lost in sin and cannot serve ourselves. Does this mean that only Christians do good?

Following a little pleasure and giving in to every senual desire leads to slavery. Many think freedom consists in doing anything they want. But following this path leads to a slavish addiction to senual gratfication. A person is no longer free, but a slave to what ever his or her body dicates. Christ freed us from these desires and gave us control over sin. When Christ saves us, we move from a life full of sin to one where we are led by God's Holy Sp irit. All our sins, not some of our sins, are washed away. Washing refers to water of baptism, which is a sign of salvation. In becoming a Christian, the believer acknowledges Christ as Lord and recognizes Christ's saving work. We gain eternal life, with all its treeasures. We are renewed by the Holy Spirit, and He continually renews our hearts. None of this occurs because we earned it or deserve it: it is all God's gift to us! Please Read: Titus 3:1-11 KJV

Don't think the devil won't hunt you simply because you've been wishing him well. For there's one thing I know: his sympathizers are his most victims. Choose to fight or resign to an ugly fate of eternal damnation. This is what makes him truly evil. This can't be overemphasized!
