The Witness of the Spirit...Combating Doubt.......deno.......share freely.

      When you know the Lord you need not others to approve or disapprove this knowing whether you know him or not. When His Spirit is in you you know this. His Spirit bears witness with our spirits that we are the children of God. This is an inward witness, and a inward verification from the Spirit of the Lord to and within our hearts that we are his and he is ours.... When that witness and that verification is real to you, other voices or other approvals we need not fetch. For My Sheep Jesus said hear my voice and I am known by them. This inward witness we speak of, it is as sure and clear to you as the knowing you have in your spirit or in your heart of whether you are married or not. It is that clear..
     Howbeit, in the mind which is often times the target and play ground of the father of lies and the prince of doubt and deceptions, if he can draw your attention out of the Spirit and into the flesh senses and flesh feelings and circumstances, and get you to start to interpret spiritual things and spiritual truth by what the flesh dictates to us and other wrong persuasions, if he can get us defining heavenly things and heavenly truths by what our flesh tells us, he can then cause even some of the most Spirit filled people that have ever lived to doubt truths, to question their true grace experiences, and things that are already established and true....
      Listen carefully.....Remember with me how John the baptist, how he was filled the Holy Spirit of God  from his mothers womb. He was so in tuned to the Spirit of the Lord that he lived a great sanctified life from his childhood because he knew, and he was fully sure in his heart that he was indeed GOD CALLED and God anointed. He even knew that the scriptures spoke of him and his calling and ministry and its purpose and knew exactly where all that light was in the scriptures about him and his calling. He knew he was the voice of the one crying out in the wilderness, prepare ye the way of the Lord, make a straight path for his entrance. And also John was taught from his childhood by the Holy Ghost all he was to do and preach. He even knew the voice of the Lord. The voice of the Lord told him one day, When you see the heavens open and the Spirit of God descending like a dove upon a man and remaining upon him, THAT IS MY BELOVED SON THAT YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING ON. "PROCLAIM HIM".....
      All that glory and grace happened to John just like Gods Spirit told him and taught him THAT IT WOULD. Then just a few months later after seeing, hearing, and experiencing those mighty grace events, Satan came against John and was messing with Johns head thru an arrest and thru threatening circumstances. This, the greatest Spirit filled prophet of the old testament (Jesus said that of John) that even exceeding in his calling importance above  Moses' pulpit, John the baptist, John was so negatively effected by the voices of the circumstances that had come against him and by the voices and the whisperings of the devil to his mind zone of his being, John, this most Spirit filled man and prophet of the old testament,  HE BEGAN TO HAVE GIGANTIC DOUBTS IN HIS MIND ABOUT JESUS BEING THAT PROMISED ONE though John had the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of God alive and dwelling in his heart  since he was in the womb and had great visions and visitations from the Lord who called him. (THIS MY FRIENDS SPEAKS TO US VOLUMES). 
        You see, by all these attacks of the devil, John was lured out of the Spirit where the true and divine witness had been teaching all things to John and got him over into the flesh and into the upper region of the mind by the application of anxiety works, and hardships, and threatenings, and that my friends is the devils delight and play ground where he is a master at making even the most Spirit filled people like John was to doubt God and even question doubtfully their own experiences of GREAT LEVELS OF GRACE...Even after all those visions of great visual witness that he saw, and even after hearing the voice of God clearly speak that Jesus just a few months earlier in the Jordan was GODS SON, John in prison with his head so full of demonic attacks against his peace, sent some of his follower to to ask Jesus afresh. Are you really the One or are we to look for another?..... 
       Friends, the more we really walk in the Spirit, the more we will hear God and experience for ourselves more of His inward Presence in us and with us and for us. But if Satan can get us over in the flesh and in the natural mind, he will certainly start toying with our heads and we could become as double minded and not sure about our salvation, our callings, what is divine truth,  and even wonder about the great grace experiences that God has given us as He did John the baptist. So do, obey, and stick with what the Word and Spirit of Jesus has said and you will be where Jesus is. Jesus is the Word. Amen....deno......share freely.

Solomons Cry..Solomons Lessons.....deno....share freely.

      Is our hearts love, faith, convictions, and religion more about pleasing us or more about pleasing Jesus.? You know, King Solomon after God had appeared to him in a vision when he was a child when he received the promise of wisdom, wealth, honor, and riches from the Lord, for a while afterwards Solomon served the Lord, but eventually the world got in to him, unbridled non covenant gentile women got in to him, and the sin nature that we all have in our flesh took him down roads that when he was a child he thought he would never go down such roads contrary to the will of the God. 
       How many of us have done this very same thing as Solomon did? We started out loving the Lord. He was so real and beautiful to us. Our days were filled with His smile and His brightness blessings, but the tempter came and hissed at us hiding behind something or someone, and the next thing we know we are up to our neck in sin and disobedience and we start to live for our own good pleasure after the flesh again, instead of the Lords good pleasure after the Spirit,  a pleasure that we were created to give Him in the first place and when we backslid or fell in the temptations, we lost the joy of the Lord and His Manifested Presence that we were so deliciously tasting and enjoying. God has seen this over and over again in us the church and its many members.....
      Well for years God saw this same thing, this same kind of behavior in King Solomon, even to the degree of abominations. Solomon in his temptations and in his sin craving for relations with all those un-covenant gentile women began to take the wealth God put in his trust and hands, and he began to use that wealth to make those ladies who were IDOL WORSHIPERS temples for their Idols so that they could bow their knee to them, a thing which also Solomon did from time to time and that was the major sin of his sin legacy. The king of Israel that built the magnificent Temple of the Lord, went from that holy sacred place and built for his forbidden gentile wives TEMPLES TO for their idols to be worshiped in as well...
       Yet as time and age began to take its toil on Solomon he began his elder-ish level reflections of the life he lived on earth before God and before man. What he saw concerned him as it should have and as it should concern us all as we also look into the reflection of the real truth about us and about our lives on earth and how we have lived our life before God and before man. After all, the bible tells us that it is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the Living God, esp. when your not on his good side, and not possessing his favor, mercy, and approval. As it is written, He shall judge the world in righteousness....
      Well, Solomon as he was more seriously reflecting back on his life, he, if i may put it this way, broke down in tears at how so often he had failed God. He saw how so often he had put his interest and pleasures and lust above Gods interest and holy pleasure when God had been so kind and gracious to him in so many ways, even after the Lord had appeared to him......
      In his reflecting of times past, he remembered the 2 times that the Lord had Himself appeared to him about those forbidden gentile women that He had specifically told him and all the men in Israel, Do Not Go Into Them,  and all those temples he had built with the money and wealth that God supplied him from his youth as if they (those idols) should be compared to Jehovah, the one true God and the glorious temple in Jerusalem. He recalled how when the Lord appeared to him when he was in his sin crazed madness and was marrying the gentile women and built their idols temples after God had warned all of Israel including himself to NEVER DO SUCH ABOMINABLE things and told him of these greater sins of his, how that he refused to repent. Yes the bible says that after the Lord himself had appeared to Solomon and addressed to him about these sins and these issues, it says yet Solomon did not repent.(AMAZING). He said no face to face to God and lived to tell about it. God said, I will be merciful to him that I will be merciful unto. God was exceedingly merciful to Solomon mainly for King David his fathers sake....
       He began to reflect back on all those wine infested banquet parties he used to have as king of Israel and all that that strong drink caused to erupt in Israel from the kings headquarters and party feast.. It was a big time party in the days of the great king Solomon.....
       But now that life and age was wearing him down as it does us all in its season, Solomon became a more broken down man if i may put it that way, and his heart then was TURNED TOWARD HIS CHILDREN to plead with them from his own life's sins and mistakes, to warn them from his own experience and wisdom banks, of the two paths that exist in life. The path of life and real blessings that comes by living only for Gods good pleasure and obeying His Commandments, verses the path of death and shame, and hurt and dishonor that comes from knowing God but not living a life that honors and pleases God above everything else and above every one else....
      As we read all this GOING ON AS HE PENNED in the Proverbs and Ecclesiastes, we hear the heart of an aging Solomon crying out in his wisdom and from the deep depths of his experiences pleading with his sons and all his children to choose wisdom and life, over death and shame. Over and over again we hear him cry, Hearken unto my words my son and attend unto my sayings, for they are life to those that find them and they are health to all their flesh, and they will show you in their light the path that leads to life from the path of darkness and of death. He would preach, listen , read, study, cherish my words and my sayings; Bind them about thy neck and never depart from them and it will go well with you in the land of the living.....He finished the multi-paged cry with this. He said in Ecclesiastes 12:13-14) He said...Children, let us hear the conclusion of the purpose of all this that i have said and penned, and of its whole matter, We all from our youth should love and fear God, and keep His commandment and ways, for this is the whole duty of man. 14) Why? For God shall bring every work into judgement, with every secret thing whether it be good , or whether it be evil........
      The fire of God and the heart of a most beautiful consecrated christian lady who loves God with all her heart and soul has helped me to also more perfectly see and come to this life purpose and calling that God has called us all unto. Solomons' long, drawn out sermon written in the whole 2 books of Proverbs and Ecclesiastes combined called THE WHOLE DUTY OF MAN (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14-- the sermons beginning and ending text..There exist nothing in life more important, nor of higher achievement than this, than to love Jesus our Lord and our God and to believe and obey His Words. Keep His Commanndments. And Do His Will......Amen......deno.....please share freely.

This Is The Worlds Blindness.....deno.....share freely.

      People that do not really know God will hang out with any name, any spirit, any spokesman, any song and dance, any doctrine, any theory, and any beliefs other than Jesus Christ His Son...John 2:22-23) The scriptures say (and Jesus said the scriptures cannot be broken or err, they say), Who is a liar but those who deny that Jesus is the Christ. These are antichrist.....23) Whosoever denies and says that Jesus Christ is not the Son of God and the Christ, they do not have God and they are antichrist...
      God put His own period at the end of that truth just spoken above. Only the deceived and deceivers add to this.....When they do they suddenly preach that God has many forms and many faces and in every culture their cultures beliefs, though they differ greatly, is God talking to them... etc..
     This just said is the blindness of the world...Satan has constructed and formed this lie into the worlds heart and mind to keep them from seeing their need for the Cross of Christ which is the true way of God unto salvation. For Jesus died for our sins and rose again for our justification..But all that redeeming power does no one any good if not believed and received. So as long as they feel God has spoken to them in all their cultural forms, beliefs, and traditions since the founding of their nations they feel they have no need of Jesus. This is Satan's big trick in the worlds heart and mind.

Gods Storm Stopping Power In Promises.......deno.......share freely.

     If my tears and my anxieties were the key to God fixing my problems and meeting my needs every time, then I would have it made by now and all my mountains would be gone, and all the rough place made smooth. But I have learned and found out this sobering truth. God does not always move according to peoples needs, nor does our tears move Him to automatic action. In His love and mercy He sometimes responds to these, but in tears there is no guarantee or full assurance that He will. If that were the truth then no one would be sick or lacking food no where in all the world. This is a sobering truth.
      Faith which works by love is what moves God. I mean God wills that everyone be saved for that is every ones need. Its even the whole worlds greatest need. But more go to hell than heaven so the need itself needed does not solve the problem. The need itself does not automatically meet the need just as our need of salvation does not automatically save us. The real truth of this matter is WE MUST BELIEVE SOMETHING. We must believe His Sons WORDS & GOSPEL MESSAGE. Then and only then is the needed connection made and your salvation need met. And so it is with all the lesser needs. This to is a sobering truth.
       In Hebrews 4:2 we read that only by mixing our FAITH with Gods words, only then do we profit or gain. When you mix one thing with something else, there is an entrance, there is a blending. In Christ Jesus when our hearts believe, the hidden man of our hearts reaches his spiritual hands on to the Word & Promise of God and lays holt on to Gods presence, gripping His power on earth that is packaged and in-housed inside Gods Words & SENT TO US PROMISES. And if his (the hidden man of our hearts-1 Peter 3:4) FAITH HANDS are the strong type that grips and cleaves to God thru the counter attacks, that is he does not let go of those Words & Promises until whatever he is believing  God for comes to pass, then those words and those promises COME TO PASS.  Jesus truly truly said they were. The four gospels and the book of Acts are full of people like you and I that really did this, really believed and really receive. They all made THE BOOK, the bible.
      This FAITH TRUTH ABOVE is where a whole lot of spiritual wrestling goes on. Satan and his helpers are constantly fighting against us trying to pull those Words and Promises that we are believing out of the hidden man of our hearts hands which is our hearts faith. These dark forces wrestle with us- in spiritual warfare- desiring we give up under their many deceiving tricks that they launch against us in the fight of faith. hoping we throw in the towel and faith faint.
      Jesus told us in the faith battle that it is those who ENDURE IN FAITH UNTO THE FINISH LINE, they are the ones that shall be saved and shall receive what they are believing for. So in the storm  Jesus says and ask us what he said and asked his disciples when they were together on the boat in a mighty opposing STORM that had rose up against them. In the midst of the storm Jesus says to us all, WHERE IS YOUR FAITH ? (Luke 8:22-25). 
      Lets note this. When Jesus mixed HIS FAITH with that raging storm that was huge and threatening, he showed us that proper FAITH MIXING can solve any problem and bring peace in the most threatening situations. Jesus rose up. He faced the storm as one having authority. He believed in his heart. Then he spoke with his mouth his faiths purpose and his faith went forth and entered into that storm and the MIXING BEGAN and his faith after being MIXED with that storm totally put the brakes on it and the storm ceased to be. Scroll down....

          Whatever our storm is we can take the promise of God that God spoke and filled with His Storm Stopping Authority and Power that covers our need or desire and fill our hearts with its spiritual substances and light, believe it is true for us in our hearts, and pray and speak in faith (as our Master & Teacher did) those words, letting the mixing of faith begin and put the brakes on our storms until the light of life, salvation, healing, the desire of our heart, and more abundant living dawns into our worlds reality...

By Deno Smith

     In a nation that has become a mass of many different cultures and beliefs, I understand that a President should not nor cannot publicly choose sides and that is understandable, but he damn well better choose this, and that is to enforce the Constitution that is the law of the nation that says we all must respect one another's religious differences without blood shed, and not fight for minority beliefs to over ride, control, and dictate over the majority conviction in a democratic society.

        For those that would murder in cold blood as to behead another on the basis of religious differences is far from true light, love, righteousness, and holiness, and is nothing less than a devils habitation hiding behind the face of a religious purpose and cause to murder and cause blood shed to their beliefs opposition(John 8:44-45)......

      When our founding fathers established for us in America the freedom of religion, none of them set this freedom in stone so that Satanism or Atheism could be RELIGIONS in America. Satanism, nor Atheism that the courts have now also redefined,  entitled, and re-titled as RELIGION, they were not included in the religion list that the founding fathers considered when addressing the purpose for the freedom of religion right. No matter how the Constitution is bent and twisted by the crooked, deformed, and twisted mind, these both were considered by our founding father as enemies of the state and of Americas Religious Liberties.....

      But now people hearts have become so cold to God and so warm and welcoming to lies, deceit, delusional thinking, and to sin that they sit on thrones as Supreme Court Judges over this nation and they have themselves opened the door to Satanic Wiles to be every where in the land and the atheist now are using their new found platform in America and are bullying and pushing THERE BELIEFS on us all everywhere all across America shutting down God and Prayer in government, in schools, and if they can get away with it, they will also push their beliefs inside the walls of the church's to hold the pulpits in bondage to fear of what they can preach by LAW SUITS......

      I'm sorry but this is the absolute truth and it is the REAL UNCONSTITUTIONAL works that are being now allowed and perpetrated on us in America. But thank God for the American Center for Law and Justice.....Their Fighting Back For Us And For The Truth That These Words Speak.......Please Join and Support Them......deno........share freely.

P.S. Unbelievers want Jesus shut down in America. Many Jews still want Joshua shut down in America. The Muslims want the Christians shut down in America. Lucifer and Satanism want their enemy Jesus out of America. Atheist want God and Jesus shut down and forgotten in America. Well guess who else wants Jesus shut down and cast out of America? All these peoples power and backing, THE ANTICHRIST AND HIS SATANIC SPIRIT. Folks this is the raw, root truth of this whole matter.
