Who Is He? According to the world, Satan; or as he is commonly known as the Devil is a Cartoon Character; a comic figure complete with horns, forked-tail and a red suit He is the mythical caretaker of a mythical Hell; yet he is worshiped world-wide In philosophy, Satan is merely an impersonal concept; intellectually regarded as the invention of a puritanical guilt-complex, and "enlightened thinkers" dismiss such a superstition as "unreasonable to the rational mind." In religion, Satan is a mystery. He is the object of both derision, and pity; he is either eulogized, or despised. Of evil, he is considered its Influence, and its victim. But Who Is He? His true identity is revealed only in the Holy Scriptures. He is the origin of all sin, the source of all misery, the center of all strife; he is the reason and sum of all sorrow, bitterness and grief. He is Satan, and he is alive and well His subtlety separated man from Eden's sublime estate and plunged him to the depths of despair; yet Satan conducts his business with scarcely a notice."The Devil"Men don't believe in a devil now, as their fathers used to do. They've opened the door of the broadest creed to let his majesty through. There isn't a print of his cloven foot, or a fiery dart from his bow, to be found on earth or anywhere, for the world has voted it so. But who is mixing the fatal drought that kills both heart and brain, and loads the earth each year with ten hundred thousand slain? Who blights the bloom of the land today with the fiery breath of hell? If the devil isn't or never was, won't somebody please rise and tell? Who dogs the steps of the toiling saint and digs the pit for his feet? Who sows the tares in the field of time when God is sowing pure wheat? But the devil is voted just not to be, and of course the thing is true... but who is doing the kind of work the devil is supposed to do? Won't somebody step to the front right now and immediately begin to Satan show, how the frauds and the crimes of the day spring up, for surely we want to know The devil was fairly voted out, and of course the devil's gone... but simple folk would like to know... "Who carries his business on?"

From the beginning, God has called leaders to serve His people. For God, Abraham left his homeland. Moses declined Egypt and its riches. Joshua destroyed Jericho. Elijah confronted King Ahab. Daniel faced the lions; and the James and John forsook their nets. Matthew left his customs booth. And Paul left a life of power and prestige. Despite their trials, these all found the venture satisfying. Paul's account of shipwreck, floggings, danger, and hardship glows with suffused excitement. He was having the time of his life What if he'd said no to Christ? Telling the Philippians about the things he had given up, Paul declared, "I consider them rubbish." And why? "That I may gain Christ and be found in him" Philippians 3:8-9. We enjoy the same perspective, for through His Cross; Jesus opened not only the door of salvation for all who would accept, but the privilege of service as well. Jew, Greek, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free...all may serve the Lord Christ. Some were apostles. Some, prophets. Some will be evangelists, some pastors and teachers. All are "for the equipping of the saints, for the work of service, to the building up of the Body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ" Ephesians 4:12-13. For the Minister of the Gospel, each day offers a new challenge. The phone rings; we are summoned to the bedside of a dying man. Later in the day, we help arrange a marriage. That evening, we counsel a soul in trouble. No other vocation offers such a wide span of involvement with mankind. Then when we stand to preach, think of it...in our weak and human hands we hold the truth of God, the supreme answer to the souls of man. The ministry of Christ is not a job, not a profession. It is a calling, and the noblest...the most demanding and at times exasperating, but it is surely the most satisfying and rewarding experience human life affords. With Paul, we can truly say, "I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, putting me into service" 1Timothy 1:12.Like the Christian life, the ministry of Christ is a relationship between the disciple and his lord. We serve Him; He develops and strengthens us. We must prepare ourselves first, then our sermons. The very fact that we are ministers will work against our spiritual life unless we are careful. We study the Bible, but for a text; we pray, but in front of a group or beside a hospital bed. While attending to these public ministries, our personal devotions may be neglected.Power in preaching comes in direct proportion to time spent in prayer and in the Word. Nothing...not speaking ability nor a forceful personality nor a persuasive manner...can take the place of the Spirit of God, filing and shaping and using the life committed to Him. Are we adequate to the task? Never. We have this treasure in jars of clay, but God accepts and uses our service nonetheless. Paul finally learned to accept his weakness, so "that the power of Christ may dwell in me" 2Corinthians 12:9. If the truth were known, few of us pray enough. We tend to rely too much upon our cleverness in programming and promotion, but not enough upon the power of God through prayer. Sadly, our churches show it. A definite time and place, preferably early in the morning, where one can shut out the world and feed upon the Word, unburden his heart, and commune with the Father will set the tone for the day and for a lifetime. The minister who keeps his appointment with God need have no anxiety about his work. In his daily walk, he will experience the unfolding hand of God bringing new power and effectiveness. He will see his life lifted to a new level he never dreamed possible, a level he could never have attained by himself. Pressed by the crowds, with such a short time to complete His task, Jesus still found time to pray. So must we.

Many today don't really understand or know that it is God's will to heal. It's sad that they suffer so many things needlessly just because they lack this knowledge.Some believe it is God's will to heal in some cases... so they pray, "Lord, if it be Your will then heal me" ... while others believe that God healed back in the days of the Bible but He doesn't heal today.We must realize what took place at Calvary, realizing that Jesus didn't suffer only for our sins.Yes, Jesus took our sins upon Himself. He shed His blood for the remission of sin, but He also suffered for our healing. The stripes that He bore on His back, from the whipping they gave Him, were for our healing. So you see, it was there on that cross where the price was paid for our sins and where the price was paid for our healing.If you can believe that Jesus has forgiven you of all your iniquities, that He died to save your soul, why can't you believe He bore stripes on His back that all your sickness and disease could be healed?

The premise of this training guide and manual is not based on workouts alone, but on educating those individuals that are concerned about their health and wellbeing, and the proper way to have a healthier lifestyle. My entire adult life has been devoted to improving my mind, body and spirit, but the only way my Life-Style can be balanced is by ensuring that my Immune System protects me against any form of disease, such as High Blood Pressure, Diabetes, Hypertension, High Cholesterol, etc. Now, I don't claim that with this Life-Style change you will live any longer than the next person, but what I am attempting to convey is that with change you live much healthier, have more energy, and be more alert to enjoy the many blessings that the LORD has promised in HIS Word The reality is that you do not have to use steroids or muscle enhancing drugs (steroid derivatives) to achieve a great body, so stop listening to those "so-called" personal trainers who are just trying to sell you those expensive training sessions looking like they eat cheeseburgers and french-fries for breakfast, lunch and dinner If a trainer's body does not appear as though he/she works out regularly or they look like they came straight out of a fitness magazine, be careful because all that glitters isn't gold

To get your prayers answered you must understand what helps and what hinders. You will find that this will be the most unusual manual you have ever read about prayer. We will deal with many different subjects that affect whether or not your prayer is answered.True prayer must be from the heart, to receive the desired answer you must also live your prayer. This is what "Time To Pray," is dedicated to explaining how you can accomplish this great detail.This manual we have given to you is part of Kingdom of God Fellowship Church's Evangelistic Mission to America: Winning Souls to Jesus Christ. Will you be a part of winning lost souls to Christ and helping Christians to understand how to get all of their prayers answered? There is more to prayer than just bowing your head and saying a few words. "In prayer there is a connection between what God does and what you do." "If you refuse to do your part, you cut yourself off from God's part." Matthew 6:14-15.Throughout this manual, with the help of the Holy Spirit, our heart's desire is to explain to you what "your part" is, and the "connection between what God does and what you do," in getting an answer to every prayer you pray. I assure you, if you willingly read every page in this manual, you will have a clear picture of how it is possible that "you cut yourself off from God's part," and conversely, how to always stay connected to God.Satan, the enemy of your soul, is constantly trying to put negative thoughts of unbelief into your mind and heart, telling you that God is not concerned about your problems. But the truth is, God is always thinking about you and watching everything that concerns you. Remember that with every care you have, whether large or small, God is always ready to answer your prayer and "supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus." Phil 4:19
