John, Doves and

1 Corinthians 10:31 

Thank you 1Corinthians 10:31 for your kind words. I think a lot of us wonder if anyone sees our notes since there are too many to respond to.

But when someone does respond, it gives wind to our wings. Thank you for your refreshing note!

I wish I could take credit for any of its' contents, but because I try to be led of the Holy Ghost, I'm praying He is the motivation in all my letters to 5 Doves.

Yes, you are correct.

My reference to demons out of the pit in Rev. 9

was not accurate in timing. I should have  caught that before pushing the send button.

"Humility is endless"--

T.S.Eliot

It was my perception of how overwhelming their tactics are against us, that I associated it with the quantity in Rev. 9.

My particular demons, you asked ? Well, no major drama...it's those many straws that break the camel's back type of thing.

Every morning I ask God to help me fight the good fight of faith, for I know the demonic forces will try to set road blocks in my way. With God's grace I win a little, and because I'm human, I fall down too.

It isn't the falling down that counts...it's the getting back up again and to be willing to try harder next time that matters. As Pastor Greg Laurie always says, "Fall forward."

And be assured I will add you to my prayer list for protection from "those flesh and blood puppets of the devils who so willingly do their bidding."

I hate to say this, but in rare cases ( when we participate in demonic activity) then devils can take human form.

I say this because devils are fallen angels, and since good angels have appeared in Scripture in bodily form, then it stands to reason that bad angels can appear in bodily form too. 

But a person would have to attract them through their willfullness to sin in order for that to happen. 

Saints do not seem to see bodily demons, but we are tempted and harassed by them often. 

God is our shield and our exceeding great reward. Gen. 15:1. 

I hide under His wings Psalm 91:1-4.

Thank you for your wonderful note, and yes I will look forward to our chats at your mansion up above.

Aren't you glad we will meet ALL the Doves up in heaven and have a joyful time together? How I thank God---and John Tng---for bringing us all together.

John must work arduously

to put 5 Doves Online with so much harmony in fellowship as in Psalm 133:2... "The precious ointment upon the head".

***I never underestimate the labor of love he performs for all of us.***

Take care 1 Corinthians 10:31 and keep you letters coming. We enjoy them all.

P.S. I agree wholeheartedly about respectful clothing.
