“HOW TO REINFOURCE YOUR LIFE
AGAINS SATANIC ATTACAKS”
Copyright © 1998 by J.A.Mcbean. Library of Congress Washington.D.C.20559
D uring world, war two. Adolph Hitler knows that an invasion was coming. His greatest concern was where the Allied was going to launch the invasion. If he knows when and where the invasion was coming, he could move his armies there to counter it. The greatest problem with people, who are newly converted to Christianity, is that they are so caught up in the new found joy, that they are not aware that Satan and all his force are planning an attack. Knowing what arias of your life, Satan is going lunches his attacks, will give you the advantage. Failing to know what Satan is up to will only give him the advantage, and if he gets the advantage over you, you finish.
That will put you in great difficulties. As soon within the first few months of getting save, you need to remain with the group where you get save with. You need to keep seeking the lord to find out what he saves you and called you to do. We call this “the will of God” Do not run off on your own; do not leave that Church for another yet. When you leave, you insult those who laboured to bring you to the lord. The habits you picked up after conversion will follow you through your Christians walk, and will be hard to get rid of. Be careful of bad biblical concepts such as “Naming it and claiming it” This is bad rotten milk. Invest in a good bible, a bible dictionary, a bible commentary, and a bible concordance. In addition, get a New Translation, along with a Dake annotated bible. Above all, try to understand the doctrine of salvation so you can explain it to others.
2 Cor. 2:11 (KJV) Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.
(1) YOUR MENTAL FACULTIES.
Proverbs 14:14 (KJV)The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from himself.
The first arias of attacks, is going to be launches against your mind, by the backsliders in heart. These worship right along side of you in the church where you were converted. There are cliques in the church who is going to try to poison your mind, against other believers who can help, and natured you. They will give you a spirit of indifference, and passing on their offenses to you, so you start to feel resentful against other people. You will need to protect yourself against this spirit of slandering. If you can overcome these groups of bad mouths, you will be well on your way to be a great child of God.
Proverbs 13:20 (KJV) He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.
As soon as you come to the faith, you must starts to build up relationship around your self. Satan is going to launches an attack, and tries to cause you to fall into hard times.
Every truly born again child of God walk up and down this road. You are not going to be any different. You will need people. There is not a moment to loose in building up this wall of relationship around yourself.
Years ago: My wife and I buy our first home. As soon as we move in the community, certain people try to pull my wife into a little clique. We were told not to keep company with certain people, in the neighborhoods. I told my wife. “We just got here; we need time to know every body. We will talk, and visit whoever we want, we cannot malice people we do not even know, just because somebody else say so” Christ give us the ministry of reconciliation. We will malice no one, because certain people say so. You have to be aware of manipulators, and mind controlling people. These always drumming up support to cause others to fall. Do not join the fight until you know who the enemy is.
Philip. 2:5 (KJV) Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
Galatians 6:10 (KJV) As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
Proverbs 13:20 (KJV) He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.

CHRISTIANITY MUST NOT STRANGULATE YOU:
2 Cor. 3:6 (KJV) Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
It is important to understand the spirit of the law and not only the letter. Do not make holiness more holy that what it suppose to be, and sinfulness more sinful, than what it already is. Some of my ministers are so holy they will not even look at a bear can or a wine bottle, but would steal a bone out of a cat’s mouth. You are so holy; you would not even look at a woman, but are so sinful that you would molest a child.
(2) AN ATTACKS UPON YOUR GOOD NAME:
Ecc 7:1 A good name is better than precious ointment, and the day of death than the day of one's birth.
Pro 22:1 A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches; and loving favor rather than silver or gold.
The second attack that Satan is going to lunches against you is an attack upon your good name. If Satan manages to take out your good name, he can ruin your life. The job market and the church are loaded down with characters assignations. If you and I know what is being said behind our backs, we would fall over dead. You can feel the evil eyes looking at you behind your backs.
If they have no proof for the things that they are saying. They will talk behind your backs, and you can see it in their attitudes, but because it is false, they will not be able to confront you and try to contest it. However, your good name is what Satan Children is going to try to ruin. On one of my jobs, a mental health patient put another patient in choke hold. I had to put him also in the same choke hold to free his hands from the patient. He attacked me, and we both fell to the ground. In minutes it was all over the company how James was mauled, his back broken, his head was bashed in. Every thing they say was what they wished had happen. You had to ask. “Is that what happened are is that what you wished had happen?”
Psalm 35:11 (KJV) False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge things that I knew not.

(3) YOUR FINANCAL LIFE.
James 2:15 (KJV) If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
3Jn 1:2 Beloved, in regard to all things I pray that you prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers.
Every thing that the enemy will do, is to get you at the place where he can take down your financial life. If you cannot pay your bills, cannot buy food, cannot visit the doctor, and cannot buy medication, you will end up in destitution. This is where Satan wants to have you. You need to remember that there are hardly any more caves to live.
Hebrews 11:37 (KJV) They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;
Hebrews 11:38 (KJV) (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.

(4) BEWARE OF CULTS:
People do not get save by keeping any special day holy. Ephes. 2:8-9 (KJV)
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: [9] Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Col 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
As soon as a person are converted to Christianity, people coming from all over wanting to be your teachers. I am working right along side of people on a Saturday, and the person is preaching Saturday sabbaths keeping to me. “Good God miss what you doing here today? If it is that important to salvation, what you doing here today working on a Saturday, and you are preaching Saturday sabbaths keeping to me?”
Rom 14:5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
Rom 14:6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.
Learn to remain in your calling. Stay with the church, where you were saved in. God save you there for a purpose. Do not be too quick to run.

(5) CLEAN UP YOUR SPIRIT:
2Co 13:5 examine yourselves, whether you are in the faith, prove your own selves. Do you not know your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you, unless you are reprobates?
“GOD IS NOT GOING TO USE YOU UNTIL YOU PURGE”
2 Tim. 2:21 (KJV) If a man therefore purges himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.
GOD IS NOT GOING TO BE TENDERHEARTED TO YOU IF YOU ARE NOT TENDERHEARTED TO OTHERS.
Ephes. 4:32 (KJV) And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
Matthew 6:15 (KJV) But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Mark 11:26 (KJV) But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
Mark 11:26 (KJV) But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
SOMETIME ONLY JESUS CAN HELP US:
Matthew 6:33-AV But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Isaiah 55:6-AV Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: Isaiah 55:7-AV Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
LOOK AT THE BENEFITS OF BECOMING A CHRISTIAN:
How does a person become a Christian, and are sure that he/she is save? First the person must know that he/she is a sinner and need deliverance from the lord.
Romans 3:23 (KJV) for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Galatians 3:22 (KJV) But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
THE SINNER MUST BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A GOD:
Hebrews 11:6 NKJV But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
THE SINNER MUST BELIEVE THAT GOD IS READY TO FORGIVE HIM:
Isaiah 55:7 (KJV)Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
THE SINNER MUST BELIEVE THAT CHRIST DIED FOR HIM:
Romans 5:6 (KJV) For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
Romans 5:8 (KJV)But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
1 Cor. 15:3-8 (KJV) For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; [4] And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: [5] And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: [6] After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. [7] After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. [8] And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.
MUST BELIEVE THAT GOD CAN KEEP HIM:
Ephes. 3:20 (KJV) Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
Jude 1:24 (KJV) Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
PERFECTING THE SAINTS IS A WORK OF GOD:
1 Peter 5:10 (KJV) But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you.
THE SINNER MUST KNOW THAT ONLY JESUS CAN SAVE THEM:
Acts 4:12 (KJV) Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
THE SINNER MUST MAKE A DECISION TODAY:
Isaiah 1:18 (KJV) Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
2 Cor. 6:2 (KJV) (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)
BOW YOUR HEAD AND PRAY THIS PRAYER:
Lord I am a sinner and need your salvation. Forgive all my sins. I accept your son Jesus as my savior today.
We can sing with the song writer" I rise walk in heaven’s own light above the world and sin with heart made pure and garments white, and Christ en-throned with in. The cleansing stream I see I see I plunge, and O It cleans-eth me. O praise the Lord, it cleans-eth me, it cleans-eth me yes, cleans-eth me."
DROP ALL PRE-CONCEIVE IDEAS OF CHRISTIANITY:
Drop all preconceived ideas of Christianity because these conflict with the reality of Christianity. The lord will live the life through you day by day. You do not drop things from your life on your own. The spirit of God will walk you out of sins in his own time.
FIRST HUMBLING YOU:
Ephes. 2:8-9 (KJV)For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: [9] Not of works, lest any man should boast.
If you stop sins and get holy before God’s timing you will begin to boast how it is your own magnetism got you so far, then you became a source of discouragement to others. Therefore, you are going to stuck upon a sin or two. The sin always getting the better of you. This will push you to always accept God’s grace, and to see your own frailness.
1 John 1:8 (KJV) If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
TO CONTINUE GROWING IN GOD:
1 Peter 2:2 (KJV) As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
2 Peter 1:5-10 (NKJV) But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, 6 to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, 7 to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. 8 For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins. 10 Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble.
FINDING OUT YOUR CALLING:
When I was newly save, the believers always, ask me if I know the will of God for my life! I never really know what they were talking about. Every person that was saved had a mission and a gift. However, because you are just a babe in Christ you do not know any of these. As you go on with the lord his will for you will unfolds day bay day. Do not run off and make any big commitment. Your mate has to be tailor made for you by God. You are now a citizen of heaven. Heaven does not rule by democracy. You cannot serve God with democratic mind set.
WHAT YOU MUST DROP OFF:
Hebrews 12:1 (Living Bible) Since we have such a huge crowd of men of faith watching us from the grandstands, let us strip off anything that slows us down or holds us back, and especially those sins that wrap themselves so tightly around our feet and trip us up; and let us run with patience the particular race that God has set before us.
Ephes. 4:31 (Living Bible) Stop being mean, bad-tempered, and angry. Quarreling, harsh words, and dislike of others should have no place in your lives.
Col. 3:8 (Living Bible) but now is the time to cast off and throw away all these rotten garments of anger, hatred, cursing, and dirty language.
GET A GOOD BIBLE, AND FIND A GOOD CHURCH:
One of the best Bibles out there is the New King James Version. Dake’s annotated Bible is very good. Next, you need a living bible to make some thing simple.
Hebrews 10:25 (Living Bible) Let us not neglect our church meetings, as some people do, but encourage and warn each other, especially now that the day of his coming back again is drawing near.
PROTECTING YOURSELF FROM BEING SPOILED BY MAN:
Col. 2:8 (KJV)Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
Hebrews 13:9 (KJV) Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.
Seven Ways that People Can Spoil Christians:
1. Through philosophy (Col. 2:8)
2. Through vain deceit (Col. 2:4,8,18-19)
3. Through human traditions (Col. 2:8)
4. Through human religion and world principles contrary to the gospel (Col. 2:8,14-23; note, §Galatians 4:3)
5. Through circumcision (Col. 2:11-13; Acts 15:1; Romans 4:9-16; Galatians 5:1-11)
6. Through the law of Moses, demanding observance of the laws on meats, drinks, holy days, new moons, feasts, and sabbaths (Col. 2:14-17)
7. Through cults that puff up and imitate the gospel (Col. 2:18-23)
By all these means, unsuspecting souls are being carried off as plunder and booty by false teachers. The founders of false religions and human philosophies which pamper the flesh and give their victims elated feelings of importance make an appeal to them.
Christianity is loaded down with some false concept. Some little believe system, which are spread by false believers. One of such teaching is that you must “Look like Christians” How does Christians look? Genuine Christianity is not an external thing but of the heart and spirit.
Micah 6:8 (KJV)He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?
When cults capture a newly converted Christians, the cult first job on that new believer is to close their mind. Preventing the new believer from reading any material from other churches. So that new believer will never get out of their trap.
YOUR HORMONE DOES NOT STOP WORKING WITH CHRISTIANITY:
Philip. 3:20-21 (KJV)For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: [21] Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
Romans 8:23 (KJV) And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
Our bodies were not save at conversion. The work of redemption took place in your spirit man. Our body will be redeemed at the return of our lord. We are still waiting for the redemption of our body.
According to Philip 3:20-21 and Romans 8:23. You are still going to have urges. You have to present your body to the lord as a living sacrifice. Not dead one. Living sacrifice give trouble, you will have trouble keeping that body tied to the altar. However, as you and I grow in the lord what seem impossible will be quite possible.
