This question was taken from a small group bible study book by Neil T. Anderson called Freedom in Christ.
1. Think of someone you know who is not yet a Christian. What does the bible say about why he or she does not yet believe (see Romans 10:14-15; 2 Corinthians 4:4)?
A Lot Said....Our Intimacy with God
Our intimacy with God - His highest priority for our lives - determines the impact of our lives.
Nugget of Postive Thinking
A quote from Henry Ford, "Whether you think you can or whether you think you can't, you are right."
A poem:
If you think you are beaten - you are.
If you think you dare not - you don't.
If you think you'll lose - you've lost.
For out of the world we find
That success begins with a fellow's will;
It's all in the state of mind.
Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or the faster man;
But sooner or later the man that wins
Is the one who thinks he can.

War for a Soul
In reading Revelation 12 this morning verse 7 & 8 brought back memories of my grandfather's funeral.
I was recently saved and fervently praying for my grandfather who was diagnosed with cancer, a short time period to live and was not saved. A few months later I would fly home to attend his funeral. The day had been sunny and nice until my Uncle finished delivering the eulogy. We stood up, walked out from below the tent - as this was an outdoor funeral - and a tremendous dark cloud rushed in to abduct the sun and all the light and warmth created from it. The sky started turning black and a harsh cold wind started to blow, I knew in my spirit this was hell coming to claim my grandfather's soul. I became deeply troubled at the sight and feel of the drastic change. Directly above my head the ensuing darkness was met by a wall of light and beauty and a battle commenced. I prayed and hoped the light would win and as quickly as the darkness appeared the light drove it away reclaiming a once lost soul from the grips of the enemy. I visioned the hands of death pulling my grandfather down and then God gripping him and pulling him back.
Later that day my uncle would deliver me the message that my grandfather had accepted Christ a week before his passing. This message confirmed what I saw earlier in the sky and then is when I learned what it means to celebrate in death.
