Seeing The Unseen ch. 2

Hello hello one and all! I hope and pray all is well out there. My parents and Jim Corner made it home safe and sound yesterday afternoon. Thank you all for praying for them. They all had a great experience in Cameroun.
I read chapter two in Seeing the Unseen today. It covers What is Satan's Master Strategy For Destruction?. Beem says that Satan's master strategy for destruction is lulling us into believing lies and sudcing us into sin. We need to be truth seekers. We need to actively read our Bibles and seeking godly counsel from trusted Christian friends about what's on our hearts and minds. Because, if we don't the devil will surely trick us, and plant something in our hearts, and make us think that it's God that put it there. Second Thessalonians 2:10-11 our scary versus: "They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness". And also Ephesians 4:18-19 unviels the devil's strategy for destroying us. Saten darkens our understanding. When that happens we harden our hearts. Then we lose sensitivity. Then we are immersed in sensuality. And lastly and fatelly, we reach spiritual destruction. It's all a snow-ball effect. If we don't understand something and don't seek God out, then the devil comes in and clouds up our understand even further, and it spirals out of control from there. That is all on Seeing The Unseen for today. More to come tomorrow. This is one scary book. It is certainly one that is very telling though. Please go out and buy it. If you can't find it at a Christian bookstore, look up amazon.com and type in Joe Beam or Seeing The Unseen. Great book. Very thought-provoking.
I recieved the Sunset International Bible Institute alumni magizine in the mail today. I was looking through it and saw a man who graduated some years ago whom I had as a Bible professor at Harding. By his name it says, "training men to train men". That is what SIBI is great at as well as Harding and all of our Christian colleges and schools of preaching. Please pray for those who aspire to preach who are attending SIBI or any and all of our Christian colleges and preaching schools. Thank you! I make it a point to as well. I'm aspiring to attend SIBI in 2008 in the Fall and either be an Outreach minister or be a Missionary in the Northeast US.
It's my pray that this will work out. God bless you all in Jesus' name!
Zack
