Strife - Satan's Playground

Duane Sheriff teaches the danger and impact of strife in our relationships and spiritual lives. Strife is an issue that many people do not recognize in their lives, and it can be as destructive as sins like adultery. Strife can ruin marriages, churches, and personal relationships, causing confusion and hindering the manifestation of God's word in our lives.

Strife is often rooted in envy and pride, creating an environment where every evil work can flourish. James Chapter 3 illustrates how strife stems from self-seeking and bitter envy, leading to confusion and disorder. Strife and self-centeredness open the door to demonic influences and every evil practice. To overcome this, believers must learn to recognize conflict, avoid it, and pursue wisdom that is pure, peaceful, gentle, and full of mercy.

God's wisdom promotes peace and unity, recognized by purity, gentleness, willingness to yield, and mercy. In contrast, earthly wisdom is recognized by bitterness, jealousy, and strife. Believers should be God-centered and others-minded rather than self-seeking to nurture better relationships. Utilizing God's wisdom will avoid conflict in marriages, church leadership, and everyday relationships, manifesting heavenly blessings and peace. On the other hand, the earthly wisdom of this world is bitterness, jealousy, and strife.

Striving for harmony and rejecting divisive behavior are crucial. Love, as demonstrated by Jesus, seeks to avoid harm and create a conflict-free environment, allowing the Holy Spirit to move freely and bless the congregation. The unwavering commitment to God's principles of love, unity, and wisdom from above is the key to combating strife. #god #strife #wisdom

Perfect message at the perfect time. I heard it Sunday at Victory Life Woodland Park and so needed it! God gave me the scripture James 3:16 after the horrific death of my mother, and we were in so much strive for years before that! Thank you, can't wait till you are back to continue this!

The Globus Cruciger is a inverted egyptian Ankh, and if one understands the ordering of the elements and spiritual forces shown as a cross, one has a system of either being ordered by an outside authority figure or an inner understanding that is the foundation of your life. The essence of what i write here is extracted from scripture although by being interested in many more subjects than that, which surround such scriptures, needs to be taken into account. The christian scriptures tell you to overcome the elemental spiritual forces and become cognizant of their infuences, but alas, studying the words alone, like a recipe for making dough, does not get the bread baked. Collosians 2 : 20 - 23 Upon the celestial sphere pointed towards here Job 38:31-33 one can find Cephas, also known as Peter, also known as Cepheus upon the sphere and the Dragon written about in Revelation. Draco the Lawgiver. Hathor is El Shaddai, is the Dragon. Christ is King of all kings. John 8:12 Mashallah ibn Athari will shed light upon jacobs ladder and how through studying the signs in heaven how it effects human life. Take care, peace be upon you all.
