1st Timothy 3:6....A mans evil pride will cause him to fall into Satan's condemnation story. Pride is a sin we must all repent of if we possess it. Then we must flee from it, even to the washing of one anothers feet. But deno I am to proud to stoop so low wash someones feet. Friends Jesus stepped out of heaven, stepped down off He and His Fathers Majestic Throne. Came and was born into our world. Then in His humility, He bowed down before men and washed their feet, even preferring them before Himself. The Cross Proves It.

LIKE LIGHTNING SATAN WAS CAST OUT OF HEAVEN. GOD WAS FURIOUS WITH LUCIFER. HE SINNED AND REBELLED AGAINST 100% GOODNESS, 100% LOVE. 100% UNSELFISHNESS. 100% PURE LIGHT. 100% HOLINESS AND PEACE.....SATAN WENT CRAZY IN HEAVEN IN A SELF CREATED RAGE OF JEALOUSY AGAINST GOD AND OTHERS. YOU CANNOT LIVE IN HEAVEN IF YOU REFUSE TO WALK HUMBLE WITH GOD AND BEFORE GOD. PRIDE AND THE DESIRE OF SELFISH VAIN GLORY IS THE WAY UNTO A GREAT FALL. ....LUKE 10;18) Jesus said. "I Beheld, I saw Satan as lightning fall from heaven.....
Denos Testimonies # 8) My Simplicity of Scripture Challenged...Denos Way of Thinking Warred Against
Every one of us since we were children have doctrines, beliefs, certain ideas about things and patterns of thoughts formed in us that we all embrace and hold to heart as very dear to us. As precious and sacred. Everyone of us since childhood have formations formed within us of a certain pattern and train of natural thought and of religious or spiritual thought, and most of us are very comfortable staying only in those familiar zones of our comforting thought patterns, what we think and believe about things.
By these beliefs and mental reasonings, (what we feel or think about things), we select our companionship and friendships with others whose hearts embrace the same or very similar thoughts, views and beliefs. Our personal relationships and even the worlds national constitutions and creeds are formed by the agreeing thoughts, beliefs, creeds and convictions of the people of that land.
But what do you do when a lot of your personal minds everyday patterns of thought and your hearts personal belief structure that has been formed in you since you were an infant is severely attacked and challenged by a wittier power. Will your train of thought and the foundations and cisterns of your hearts faith hold water when the pressure is turned up to find out? Or will that applied pressure test find or reveal to you that there exist a weakness, a crack, an opening, or even a major hole in your pattern of thought or in the structure of your belief system. Hmmm. I was soon to find out. I was soon to go thru all kinds of these pressure test in diverse ways and in different manners and friends I will admit to all of you, it was by no means a picnic, nor a peaceful walk in the park. I was soon to be undone crying out those woe is me words and tears, only so that grace in its season could build me up according to the will of God.
It would not be to long in, (Gods timing of things, to me it seem to take forever), when this simple, easy going teenage boy, a son of a most loving Preacher man; a boy that just wanted to hang out and to have fun, was going to have to enter into a fight that he did not know was even going on though it is going on constantly to the worlds numbness. I was going to have to learn to fight a fight I did not choose. War in a warfare that I had no idea even existed that was full hostile forces and enemies of the Cross Of Christ and arrayed with squadrons of the rulers of the darkness and of the blindness of this worlds spiritual sight, understanding, and vision.
Severely attacked and even wounded I was going to have to become a spiritual combat fighter and fight back against a heartless merciless adversary and against even my own personal wrong patterns of spiritual thought, thinking and beliefs that were deeply formed within me.
In this war and in this fire that was raged against me I was going to end up coming face to face with the fact that some of what I formerly had believed and thought about heavenly things was weak and beggarly and when those spiritual storms came, and those howling winds blew and did beat against this house of my personal thoughts, and thinking, and beliefs about certain things, my inner world and inner atmosphere was going to feel every bit of that storms weight, rage and effects. My heart, mind, soul and even my life was going to feel the sharp sting of the fiery darts that spiritual ignorance and blindness had opened my life up for and unto and gave place to the evil one to launch at me his mean and wicked intent.
For a while I admit it, those darts stuck in me. They hit their target. They hit and stuck in me (HELLO) because I was void of needful spiritual wisdom and of Gods armor that He gave us to fight with. This would continue unto and until an up and coming change was wrought and a victory won. This change, this victory would eventually come and be won, but I had to fight for it. I had to go to war in a warfare that this world knows not of. (I didn't....Do you?). I had to learn to put on what the apostle Paul preached was the whole armor of God(Ephesians 6:10-18), an armor which at the time I had no idea existed. I had to also learn to take up some weapons that I had no idea were even invented and given to men to stand against the wiles of the devil......
.......Now with these foundations of my testimony laid down. My up and coming writings will define and give image to the warfare that Satan waged against me. These thing are written to Glorify God and His Son Jesus Christ and I hope they will help all of you that read or hear of them. For these my friends are THE DAYS of last warnings and of vicious satanical wiles on the earth. We see alot of it already going on in our own nation. We see alot of shifts of power going on around the world for an anti Christ agenda. His evil feet need steps to walk on and the rebellious and the rebellion against the gospel of Jesus Christ in those of this generation have been at work in America and in the world to make a path for his entrance. He is backed by Satans power and satanical wit and forces of darkness. The church must be prepared for the final spiritual confrontations.
In the closing of this segment of my testimony I want to say to you, that all that I am going to share with all of you soon actually happened. This is not a fantasy story but the facts of my lifes events and encounters. I have kept these things mostly tucked away for various reasons, but now it seems Im being led to share them. God knows why. Folks what I will be telling you happened each and everyone of them. I lived them, breathed in them, cried in them, groaned in them, complained in them, murmured in them, sweat much sweat in them, was often tossed to and fro in them. Even one tough night alone in my room in Lakenheath, England I nearly thru in the towel of hope and gave up on life......But for some reason God would not let me and how I'm so thankful He held me up. He had a purpose. He had a plan. It was a long range plan but He had one. I was blind to it. I had no idea what the plan was. I knew strange encounters were going on. Unusual events were taking place of a heavenly kind. But I was still in a lot of ways ignorant and very carnal in my thinking. Even now, all these years later, in a great way Im still watching it more and more unfold. So much to tell you. So much to unveil.
Where do we start? In my next testimony #9, I will be sharing with you my VISION of the Veil. Yes A VISON. I have to learn to seek Gods honor only and not worry about what people say or think about me or all this. I will be standing before God one day, as you will, and I want to hear Him say, You told them Deno. Well done. You overcame your fears and you told them. Enter thou into the joy of your Lord and Savior. See you there in testimony #9.....deno....please share freely

ONE OF THE MOST DELICIOUS SPIRITUAL RESTAURANTS EVER GIVEN BY THE LORD HIMSELF TO US IN THESE LAST DAYS.....KENNETH & GLORIA COPELAND......THE BELIEVERS VOICE OF VICTORY......I'VE EATEN THERE OFTEN...... AN A #1 HEAVENLY WORD OF GOD STEAK HOUSE.......JOHN 21:12. JESUS SAID UNTO THEM, "COME AND DINE".......AND BE BELIEVING, JOHN 20:27
Jeremiah 23:4) The Lord speaking said....And I will set up shepherds over My sheep which shall feed them; and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, SAITH THE LORD.
Denos Testimonies #7) Satan Began His Counter Attacks after I experienced the rushing mighty wind of the Holy Spirit......Plus Gods light and my minds personal darkness was about to clash.
After my vision of the huge cross subsided, and after things returned to my personal normalcy, I had no idea how this great rushing mighty wind experience was going to effect my life. I mean it. I had no idea what to expect. I had no idea why one receives the baptism of the Holy Spirit, but I had. I was not a very spiritual minded person. Are you? I was not a deep person of the scriptures. Nor was I super Christian, but far from it. Even in so many ways.
Now I was a son of a wonderful preacher, pastor and evangelist who preached revivals now and then, but just because your a son of a great President does not make you a president, right? And just because your a son of a brain surgeon, by no means automatically makes you a doctor. Even so just because my dad knew Greek and Hebrew did not make me a spiritual Einstein of the word of God.
Deno was a simple son with a believing heart that justified me more than I knew or understood at the time. I knew mostly only John 3:16 of the scriptures. That was the only verse I had took to memory. Well there was one other, Jesus Wept, the shortest verse in the bible. Everything else that I knew mostly came from the child bible story books that I read from time to time in my childhood. But John 3:16 I believed and I believed that verse of the bible with all my heart. I believed that verse with all my soul, and I believed that verse in the bible with all my strength. I believed God loved us despite us and that He sent His Son into the world to save us from our sins and that God raised Jesus from the dead. I knew and believed that the bible was the Word of the Living God. I barely knew what was in it, but I believed it was the unbreakable rock given us from God. This was my faith. This was my religion. This was what I stood on and that got me born again.
That child like faith readied me (Ephesians 1:12-13) for the infilling of that which I have shared with you of the Spirit of Gods rushing mighty wind into my heart, filling my heart with power and fire from on High. But little did I know, yes my friends, little did I know that that great Spirit of glory (1 Peter 4:12-14) now in me and upon my life, was also attracting the attention of an old ancient foe, the subtle Serpent of Eves misery, and a roaring lion all at the same time.
Soon I was going to but heads and come to a spirit against spirit, mind against mind, thought against thought combat with the enemy of all righteousness and I had no idea that he was coming to pay me a vicious and a most unwelcoming visit. I will be sharing this with you in the near future. I feel I must lay out a foundation first before I get to those confrontations.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Friends to be filled with the Power from on high which gives great light to the heart, but yet still have hundreds and maybe even thousands of layers & pages of darkness, misinformation, spiritual ignorance's of word of God blindness, strongholds, and misunderstandings in your mind and in your thinking, can be a very terrible, even awful combination and situation to be in. Light and darkness have nothing in common. Wisdom and ignorance have no place of common ground to fellowship upon. How can two walk together unless they agree says the bible? Well a mighty Holy Spirit of light and a mans mind full of bible spiritual blindness, ignorance, darkness and carnality are destined to clash and clash Gods Spirit and my mind did also in this temple that had become the Holy Spirits indwelling.
In that clashing of two opposites I ended up feeling I suppose the full impact of the enmity, of the friction between the two, between the mind of a Mighty Holy Living Spiritual God and that of a fleshly carnal teenagers mind. A mind that all its life had mostly been trained and taught to think contrary to Gods higher spiritual wit, wisdom and counsel and to go with the flow of the thoughts and the thinking of this evil generations mind, wisdom, counsel and anti holiness, anti God course.(See Ephesians2:1-3)
This condition plus an up and coming roaring lion(1 Peter 5:8-11) that wanted to sift me as wheat, was to bring upon me and my life what I refer to as denos double trouble in those days of my baptism into graces refining fires. This would in time create a cry from the inside of my heart and souls deepest depths unto God for deliverance and salvation from the heavy affliction that came upon me and my life because of my personal ignorance's of the deeper needful truths and things of Gods word and spiritual understanding and because of an enemies wrestling grips and moves that my ignorance kept giving him place to over and over again.
To be honest with you in those days I did not have a clue that there even existed such a thing as spiritual understanding, or spiritual wisdom and wit, or spiritual confrontations, combat and warfare. I did not know that the things the Holy Ghost teaches, the normal, natural mind of man cannot grasp or understand because such things to his way of thinking seems and appear as nothing more than foolish to him(Read 1 Corinthians 2:4-16).
Nor did I know Ephesians 6:10-18, where we read that we as believers wrestle with opposing forces, wicked vicious anti Christ, anti us mean spirits. Deno was ignorant about a lot of things in the bible and in life in general and that ignorance was going to cost me about 3 and a half years of fiery trials and bitter soulish tribulations. For nearly three and a half years I cried and cried tears after tears asking God, Why God? Why? Why am I so miserable? Why has my joy turned to sorrow and mourning? Why so much heat? Why so much pressure? Why so much affliction? Why is my soul cast down within me? How could so much delicious sweet be turned into such bitter?
Well as time went on things would be unveiled...more to come.....deno....please share freely

A WORD TO ENCOURAGE US FROM EVANGELIST REINHARD BONNKE....
JESUS
has time for nobodies, unknowns and common people, that the Pharisees
said were cursed because they did not know the law. But the Lord could
testify ‘The poor have the Gospel preached unto them’. He was their
champion. Like the Psalmist said ‘The lifter up of my head’. Whatever
the mental capacity of the woman with the issue of blood, He saw in her
the capacity for the greatest things in the
world, faith and love. ‘Whoever causes one of these little ones who
believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large
millstone hung round his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the
sea.’ Matthew 18:6. He had no time for Herod the King, but the first
person He went to when He left the grave was Mary Magdalene, because she
loved Him. That is an ordinary thing to say about Jesus – which makes
it so wonderful! It is so common for Him to lift people out of their
littleness into greatness, and make apostles of fishermen. One doesn’t
have to read between the lines of the Bible or delve into the Greek or
Hebrew grammar. It is written large in God’s book – Jesus loved the
unloved and unlovely. It is so usual, so normal and so workaday for
Him. He picks up with drab uninteresting people living grey little lives
and makes them special. In fact the whole Bible is full of it. God
choosing the unlikely people, the youngest sons, the barren women, not
many mighty and giving the nameless a name, putting His arms around them
and acknowledging them. That may be even you. God bless you. REINHARD
BONNKE
Why
always doubt the Word of God? Why not doubt the lies of the devil? Why
not having doubts about doubts and deciding to believe and trust Jesus?
If you do, you’ll soon receive heavenly assistance from the Holy Spirit.
Faith moves the mountains which doubt creates. God bless you today.

One man had no intention of having "R.I.P." (rest in peace) on his grave in Egypt. (Gen 50: 22-26). The mummy of Joseph was intended for export. Joseph knew the promises of God and what the future would hold, and he was determined not to be left out of it. Joseph, who died at the age of 110, wouldn't even be found dead in Egypt. He was the man “who lived tomorrow”. "By faith Joseph ... gave commandment concerning his bones" (Heb 11:22). He didn't want to lie quietly in the grave when the Red Sea and the River Jordan opened. When carried through the wilderness, Joseph’s bones did not rattle in the box, they rejoiced. There was more life in his bones, than in those who carried them. Joseph’s eye of faith saw the faithfulness of God fulfilling His word, that word which He had given to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob long before. In fact hundreds of years before it happened, Joseph shouted with the armies of men who, yet to be born, would bring down the walls of Jericho. Faith renews our youth. A man of faith, at the age of 110 years, is younger than a doubting teenager. So many of our young are "old" and futureless. They are the defeated crowd whose song is that of the Beatles: "Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away ... I believe in yesterday." Without God and without hope.” Where are the men of Joseph's battalion today? Faith gives life to the fearful. Faith mocks at that king of terrors, death, and terrifies he who has the power of death, even the Devil. "O death, where is thy sting?" (1 Cor 15:55). Ready? REINHARD BONNKE
Denos Testimonies #6) More on My Encounter With the Rushing Mighty WInd. Jesus was the way. Jesus was the how. He was my qualifications to receive the Holy Spirit. He was my Righteousness to receive Him. He was my access with confidence to the Throne. Jesus is All in All. Jesus My every good and perfect thing. Jesus. Jesus. Oh Jesus. There Is truly something wonderful about that Name.
......... After my encounter with the rushing mighty wind of the Lords Spirit in my car I learned something later about that experience from the Lord that I would like to share with you.
In my receiving the Holy Spirit that Jesus said that we who believe in Him should and could receive (John 7:37-39), there was no hard labor on my part to receiving Him. I did not fast to receive Him. I did not beg to receive Him. I did not throw childish tantrums to receive Him hoping that some how by those trantrums God would pay attention to me. All I did was ask in faith nothing doubting. No doubting was in my mind or any part of my atmosphere. It was like God Himself had personally tilled the garden of my faith since childhood. When I saw what that lady showed me in Gods Word I knew and believed that Word was as true as John 3:16 and so I mixed faith with Acts 2:1-4 and God as my witness it happened. To God be the glory.A problem with many in receiving the Holy Spirit is to much thinking about it. To much personal efforts trying to some how force God by your own name or goodness to fill you with the Holy Spirit. Folks what the bible cause a gift from God must be received. If you try to earn by your good deeds etc. etc. that which is already sent and already God given then you are unscriptural. Just like Jesus said, what has been given, all you need to do is ask in faith & receive it. The given things are to be asked for in faith nothing doubting. Other things yes you do have to earn or put some personal effort into like, Seek and you shall find. Those are things God wants you to learn and discover. Knock and the doors shall be opened unto you. Knocking yes is ones own effort. But to ask and receive is to receive the things that Jesus has already bought and paid for in full with all his personal hard labor on the cross and by the payment he made with his own precious blood and he has given all those things to us all as freely given so we are to freely receive.
Maybe you want hear the rushing of His mighty wind but believe that you receive Him and you shall have Him. We know Christ lives in us because we love him and walk in His truth and love by faith and his witness in our hearts tells us that Jesus is the Christ the Son of God. That he died for our sins and rose again for our justification. That He is the way, the truth and the life. And that there is no other Name under heaven that can save us. If your heart beats to this drum, Christ is in you and he is your hope and glory.......deno....please share freely....more to come
Denos Testimonies #5)..That Which is of Christ in your heart must rise up to the understanding of your mind or you will have blind spots in your spiritual vision and understanding or you may end up remaining Carnal Minded in your thinking.....deno
Do you know that just as a world of people can be blind to the fact that God gave the world His Son Jesus Christ to be sacrificed upon the Cross for our salvation and they not understand it; evenso Christians can have the Spirit of the Lord and His marvelous light in their hearts richly, but the other part of them (Their Minds) can be seriously blind to some of the many things of the Spirit and not understand alot of the speech of the Lord.
We must be believing and ask God to bring up the things of His Sons Spirit in our heart to the understanding of our minds. This is a major battle ground. This is where spiritual wars are fought, won or lost in peoples lives. In the realm of the mind.
Between the realm of the Heart and of our Minds exist territories that must be crossed by the believer. It is there Satan will wrestle you viciously in hope to keep your understanding in the dark of the riches of Christ in you. He does not want you to understand the power or the glory of riches of Christ within.....deno
