From the Heart by B.Demaere

I must pinch myself…A while ago God showed me in the Bible that he would give me double the blessings for the troubles I have had in my life starting with those thoughts of suicide I experienced a couple years ago.  I believe now those thoughts were none other than attacks from the enemy Satan.  He wanted to destroy me and kill me.  That is what he wants to do in all of our lives.  No question about that, if you think that Satan has a gram of good in him, think again.  He disguises himself as the angel of Light. The reason I am sharing with you about the double blessing is that by faith I can almost taste it and it makes sense that if it is in the Bible for our own good.   God is so wonderful…why wouldn’t he not do that? Sometimes tough, we feel like we deserve double trouble because we like to think of God as a severe and angry God. But here in Isaiah 61:7 that is not what he says.   You see! God loves us so much that he gave us his Son and then h...

  As our son and family came for a visit, we also him and I got busy on nailing netting over the fence to keep the deer population out of our yard.   We thought that we had done a good job with it but to no avail.   One deer had still made it over the fence.   We have no idea how it made it over. Deer are well protected here in Canada. Is your armour sealed? I right away thought about my spiritual armour.   Is it completely sealed away from the attacks of the enemy or the world?   What about lust, anger and lack of love do those murmur in my spirit or my mind?   Is Satan whispering in my ears?   What are my beliefs about self or Christ?   Do they match what the bible teaches? You must start with your relationships.   Are they kept pure? Are you protected from any worldliness?   Satan wants to move slowly and steadily in our lives so that we are completely unaware of his attacks.   He is not called a “serpent” for no reaso...

  Opinions are just Opinions As I share with you my heart, I like to share my God.   It opens me to be honest with you and sometimes I may be seen by some of you as being opiniated but am I? I want to share the Bible and because of this I might share what I find in it as best as I can interpret it even if it does not agree with present society.   Yes, the Bible does not always agree with my opinions.   Opinions are only valid if they agree with the Truth of the Bible.   If opinions are lies, would you not agree that they need to be discarded. In Matthew 12:9-13 Going on from that place, he went into their synagogue, and a man with the shriveled hand was there.   Looking for a reason to bring charges against Jesus, they asked him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?” He said to them, “If any of you has a sheep and it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will you not take hold of it and lift it out?   How much more valuable is a person than a she...

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, So that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit (Romans 15:13) It has come to my attention that as a New Testament believer there needs to be more celebration happening in my life.   Although, there is a difference between partying and celebrating.   Partying can get out of control, but with celebration it must be done with order.   We seem to know how to celebrate different holidays.   I had just like to give it a different spin.   Life and hope must be celebrated during the holidays or any day of the year.   Whether we are believers or not, life and hope can always be celebrated because whether you like it or not you have both by the simple fact you are here alive and healthy.   God is so merciful to all of us because if he was not this whole world, we are on would not survive very long.   I am so fortunate to have his Mercy in my life.   Becau...

  So much suffering... yet God is good Even though God is good it does not stop the suffering in the world.  Humans are responsible for their own actions.  The killing of innocent lives? It is not God.  Abortions? It is not God.  The world dying of hunger and wars? It is not God.  God is all good, but just.  There is one in this world, the Bible says: Steals, kills and destroy...We must blame him. Satan, the devil.  He divides to conquer, he is smart but not as powerful as God.  God has given him until a certain time and then there will be a judgment on him and all his followers.  Sufferings also come on those who although may look to be innocent are doing evil.  God knows what is in the heart of every man and woman.  If you are evil, be warned that your days are also numbered.  You are not as innocent as you may think or anyone else for that matter. If you have never heard of repentance, here it is...It is being truly sor...
