When I was in grade 8 I had a teacher who seemed to always go out of her way to embarrass, demean and ridicule me in class and I had her for three subjects, so this went on throughout my days. I put up with it for months until Mom started noticing that I wasn't eating or sleeping properly and mostly because I stopped talking. I often would withdraw into myself when I was having difficulty dealing with harsh things.
Mom started gently questioning me and I finally blurted out, "My teacher is out to get me!" 😥
Mom paused, then said,
"I don't mean to doubt your word, Laura-Lee, but you do tend to be paranoid. Are you sure she's out to get you personally?"
My response,
"Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean she isn't out to get me."
Mom agreed and then she told me to tell her all that I remembered of my mistreatment. Even ME she didn't believe without some kind of EVIDENCE❗️
We are now in an unprecedented period of time when the Ministers, Elders and Leaders of our churches are actually sent by Satan to subtly infiltrate our congregations and teach us "doctrines of demons".
"The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons."
(1 Timothy 4:1)
These people aren't just slightly off or misguided they are ACTIVELY trying to deceive us and lead us astray. We can no longer just accept people and take their word at Face Value. We must be (slightly) paranoid or at least suspicious and demand that they back up what they say with PROOF and that their lives are a reflection of Jesus, whom they claim to serve.
I wish it wasn't this way but it is. Your only defense is Bible, Bible, Bible and Prayer, Prayer, Prayer.
OR
get ready to be led down a path of destruction, which is ALWAYS Satan's ultimate goal.
WORDS of JESUS
"The thief [Satan] does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly."
(John 10:10)
Now you know and once again I have told you...
The Truth with Love
Always Laura-Lee
