Even one of the worst case scenario's in the Bible, the man possessed by the Legion, unable to come to Christ on His own, Jesus was led to Him. And He recognized His redemption, and God helped Him to run to Jesus, where, even though the Legion of devil's was temporarily speaking, seemingly having control, one command of Christ, expelled them all, and the man was restored whole and sane.
The challenge of spiritual warfare that I struggle with, is learning to direct God's power against the oppressing sources and not at the person. Spiritual warfare is very dangerous and requires divine help and help from those who are experienced.
The Lord is coming to redeem the saved, find the lost, and lead all souls to heaven, especially those in most need of God's mercy, who call upon the Lord even in the final hour.
It would be helpful for people to post supporting scriptures.
I have come to understand that people like me who have lived on the edge of sanity and the dimmest light, are called to reach out to all souls, especially those in most need of God's mercy, which takes teamwork.
Spiritual discernment belongs to the Divine, not human intuition, for the Bible says, "judgment belongs to the Son..." (verse?)

Hello Herald, good to see you. I am sorry that finances are not what you'd like or need them to be. I really enjoyed your crow clip. Ugh@broken glasses. They are sooooo expensive. I had to replace a pair not too long ago.
I like your reasoning, but this really stood out to me.

Yes, judgement and salvation are truly His.
Hey, it has been a pleasure seeing you again.

Infant baptism is a commitment on the part of the parents and the whole church to raise a child as a Christian. Then when they are of age they can be confirmed and join the church. I think that Christians have been Christians all their life and they become elders when they are 40 years of age. Otherwise we do not become an elder until we have been a Christian or saved for 40 years. At least that is what my personal experience was. I was surprise after 40 years how much more I was able to understand. We know that Israel had to spend 40 years in the wilderness before they were able to cross the Jordan and enter into the promised land. Moses spent 40 years in Egypt - 40 years in Midian and then 40 years leading the people. Even then he did not enter into the promise. I am sure we could find lots of 40's in the Bible.
