\u00a0I have received appalling threats, curses, prayers to evil sources, and I&#8217;ve been\u00a0regularly\u00a0addressed\u00a0as &#8220;f***ing \u00a0c**t&#8221; by the sodomites. \u00a0There is no limit to their evilness because they are being controlled by Satan who wishes every Christian dead. \u00a0We are witnesses of Jesus Christ and Satan hates Jesus Christ. \u00a0If Satan could speak to me, that is exactly what he would say to me (or any other Christian who fights for the cause of Righteousness). \u00a0The misguided slaves of Satan are merely quoting their evil master. \u00a0They are the children of Satan, also called by God the children of disobedience; hence, the children of Satan &#8212; and they are slaves, they are not free. \u00a0Read this from the Word of God&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>[Ephesians 2:2-3] \u00a0Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air <span style=\"color: #c0c0c0\"><em>(Satan)<\/em><\/span>, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:\u00a0[3] \u00a0Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.<\/p>\n<p>However, we know that we know the following and are comforted and made fearless by the Word of God&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>[Luke 12:4-5] \u00a0And I <span style=\"color: #c0c0c0\"><em>(Jesus*)<\/em> <\/span>say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.\u00a0[5] \u00a0But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him<span style=\"color: #c0c0c0\"><em> (Satan*)<\/em><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>Not because Satan can direct his children to make threats towards us, even kill us, but because Satan is the evil one who will take a human gladly into hell for eternal punishment forever in hell&#8217;s flames. \u00a0But true believers, real bona fide Christians have nothing to fear because we read in&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>[Romans 8:1] \u00a0There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.\u00a0[2] \u00a0For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.\u00a0[3] \u00a0For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:\u00a0[4] \u00a0That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.\u00a0[5] \u00a0For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.\u00a0[6] \u00a0For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.\u00a0[7] \u00a0Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.\u00a0[8] \u00a0So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.\u00a0[9] \u00a0But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.\u00a0[:10] \u00a0And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.\u00a0[11] \u00a0But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.\u00a0[12] \u00a0Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.\u00a0[13] \u00a0For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.\u00a0[14] \u00a0For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.\u00a0<strong>[15] \u00a0For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.<\/strong> [16] \u00a0The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:\u00a0[7] \u00a0And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.\u00a0[18] \u00a0For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.\u00a0[19] \u00a0For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.\u00a0[20] \u00a0For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,\u00a0[21] \u00a0Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.\u00a0[22] \u00a0For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.\u00a0[23] \u00a0And 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.\u00a0[24] \u00a0For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?\u00a0[25] \u00a0But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.\u00a0[26] \u00a0Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.\u00a0[27] \u00a0And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.\u00a0[28] \u00a0And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.\u00a0[29] \u00a0For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.\u00a0[30] \u00a0Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.\u00a0<strong>[31] \u00a0What shall we then say to these things?
