Unseen Demons and Cyber Space

I have been watching and learning. Today, we have so many avenues for the enemy to get to us so subtly. Many of us think that the internet is a wonderful tool, it is for those that chose and know how to use it wisely. What I am saying is that there are many people out there that have issues in their lives that are enabled by the use of the internet. Some men and women get to a point in their life when they are consumed by certain things. I believe that when people have issues in their lives that disrupt family life then the person needs help. When this happens I think that there should be some way to govern what they have access to on the internet. They need to be accountable for their actions.

My experience with people with addictions is , that they are compulsive liars. They lie to cover up one lie after another. Seemingly with no remorse for their behavior, or for the  hurt they caused to people  along the way.

My heart aches for all the people out there being hurt by this problem. If we all could take the time and pray for this plague to end, stand in agreement for this to end, then God can do his part.

This reminds me of the movie, Fireproof.  For anyone that has not seen this movie, and  they want to save their marriage. It is a great testimony  of how we can work problems out in our life if we are committed and let God be part of the solution.

HOW DID I GET HERE

Ahh for those lazy crazy days of summer.  Laying in the grass as an eight year old.  Dreaming and dreaming.  Preparing in a child's way of what my future was going to be.  Wanted to be a policeman.  Sounded like a great future.  Always played cops and robbers with the kids in the community.  Those shining toy guns and badges.  Got to 11 years old...maybe just maybe that was not my goal now.  Electronics became an attention.  Transistor  radio broke....soldering  gun and wire.  New goal now.  All the electronic magazines I could find and read and read.  But when I was 15 a different direction. While in a Sunday School classroom in my home Church in Hoyt...I felt the call of God.  The song "I will go where you want me to go dear Lord, over mountain or land or sea. I say what you want me to say dear Lord. I'll be what you want me to be."  The call of God to do his work.  Off to Bible School with the direction of doing Ministry.  Became an assistant Pastor and married.  Pastored the finest churches and greatest people in Summerside, P.E.I, Doaktown, N.B., Harvey Station, N.B., Honeydale, N.B. and West Old Town, Maine.  Had church growth and also building projects in each. Each turn had success in it with the praise given to God.  But then a sudden speed bump in life's road.  Ministry failure that brought a crashing effect to all involved.  Divorce and the tragic of failure.  This is not what I dreamed of as a teenager.  Depressed , I turned to addictive behaviour.  The screen play of life had changed.  Did not know how to react.  Thinking that I lost to God's plan I wandered and sank in my despair.  Nothing worse than an event like this.  Wandering with no sense of purpose and direction.  Each night I would lay my head on my pillow and wonder if God even cared.  But each night I could feel His Arms around me.   One of the blessing of Detroit was that I worked for a great company and had worked my way up to 15 out of 130 drivers.  And met this wonderful woman of who I married.  Then life came to a stand still three years ago when I was told I had cancer.  God has his hand still in the mix of life.  Before going into chem for my CLL I found out I had kidney cancer that was ready to bust.  God intervened.  It was a very painful time for that year.  Then I was told, you should go home to be with your family as you don't have much longer to live.  Shocked.  This was not in the script in my thoughts and plans of life.  A year and half ago, we packed and moved back to Hoyt, N.B.  Why am I saying all of this.  I came back to where I had begun the dream of life.

I read in the Bible about a man named Saul who was doing what he thought was his dream of life.  Then he got stuck down on a road and became blind.  Series of events happened that he became one of the greatest apostles of Christ.  "Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content."  Philippians 4:1.
