We believe in a personal devil, Satan, who, along with all his angels, called demons or evil spirits, are destined to spend eternity in hell. They seek to deceive people, defeat believers, and destroy the work of God. They can be resisted by believers, who are protected by God and the intercession of Jesus Christ our Lord.
I wanted to respond to this from the Statement of Faith. It calmed me down to know I was not crazy. I have a question.
Since I became a Christian Satan has been harassing me. Three months after surrendering to God I was homeless. I moved in my son and he beat me. I left and was homeless again. I will spare you the others stuff and just say I have not given into him and my faith is STRONG. Am I getting all this attention because I am being tested by God or is Satan is trying to break me and my faith.
P.S. The Holy Spirit talks to me and I feel the energy and love. A lot of people ask me how do I know it is the Holy Spirit, so I created this criteria.
Criteria for Message from Holy Spirit and not Satan . . .
1. The instructions must be loving. It is not from God if the feeling tells me to do something mean or cruel.
2. It must not be selfish. If it benefits me it must also benefit others. Writing benefits me because it is fun but my writings are always to help people.
3. The feeling is uplifting. It will make me feel good. If I am judging myself or others I am not listening to the right feeling.
4. It should bear fruit. Whatever is said will lead to something wonderful. A change for the best or some kind of blessing.
P.S.S. This is how I know I am in the right place and the other Christian forum was not.
