OF INFORMATION"

    Suppression & Obstruction of Information: Satan doesn't want people to notice or even be aware of his presence.  The devil tries to hide behind in the shadows.  In other wards, suppressing the truth. 

     The more that he can get people to deny his very existence, the better chance he has to work his evil deceptions in their lives. Look at the news media, (magazines, newspapers, radio and huge satellite systems.) World wide, they deny the Christian Gospel's knowledge of the reality of Jesus’ birth because of Satan suppressing the truth. 

     Luke 2:8-14 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.  And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.  And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.  For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. 

     And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.  And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,  Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. 

     He even suppresses the wonderful celebration of the Holy birth of Jesus Christ at Christmas time.  He uses the fantasy of Santa Clause to repress the reality of Jesus’ existence.   Satan uses sinners to repress all information of Himself.  People unwittingly give into the news media's campaign to sell Santa Clause as the spirit of Christmas.  Where is the true meaning of Christmas, Jesus Christ's birth?

     Some of the other ways that Satan suppresses and obstructs information is the lies that he tells people.  In today's society wrong seems right and right seems wrong.  It seems that things have gotten all mixed up and everything that people desire to do, society excepts as a normal way of life.  Living together is sinning in the sight of God, but the devil tells his lie that it is all right to do it.   He gets people to believe that everyone is doing it, so sleeping with someone not their spouse is excepted as normal.

     If Satan can get people to believe he is not real and only imaginary than who will be afraid of him.  Look at the scientific theories that are out about the creation of the world.  The devil  tries to get people to believe that Adam and Eve weren't our first parents but a monkey.  Why believe in a Heavenly Lord if people come from monkeys, and if they don't believe in a Heavenly Lord, than why believe there is a devil?  This goes against every Christian teaching that there is, yet people buy into at theory and Satan's suppression of the truth. 

     He suppresses the truth of the positives of God and gets people to dwell upon the negatives of life.  A POSITIVE ATTITUDE means saying, "YES I CAN DO IT."
It means having a good mind set with confidence and a productive attitude. It means having a healthy attitude of feelings and beliefs about yourself and the events happening around you. Having a good attitude knowing that the Lord is with you. That together you can get through life looking on the brighter side of things. It also means looking up and seeing the hope which is in Jesus Christ. It is keeping your mind and heart focused upon the good things about life with the Lord's help. The Lord really loves you.

     A NEGATIVE ATTITUDE means saying, "no I can't do it. "It means having a defeated attitude and a bad outlook on life with doubtfulness and real lack of faith. It means refusing to see the good in things. A negative attitude opposes the affirmative attitude that the positive attitude has.  Can you understand how Satan can use this negative attitude against everyone in the world.  He suppresses the truth of God's positives and fills people's heads with negatives.

      NEGATIVE ATTITUDE: You might say, "I can't, I'm so afraid! What if.......oh I'm so afraid that I have such fear! I'm really scared!" 

   POSITIVE ATTITUDE: The Lord says,  "I LOVE YOU. BE OF GOOD COURAGE BECAUSE I AM WITH YOU. THAT FEELING OF FEAR DID NOT COME FROM ME.  I WOULDN'T GIVE THAT TO YOU. "(If God didn't give us the spirit of fear.....then Satan did!)

     II Timothy 1:7 For God hath...not.. given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and love, and of a sound mind.

     NEGATIVE ATTITUDE: You might say, "I have such worries and fears. The problems that I carry are "SO" bad. All I do is struggle with stresses everyday. I do such foolish things and trouble just follows me."

      POSITIVE ATTITUDE: The Lord says,  "I LOVE YOU. BRING ALL OF YOUR WORRIES AND FEARS TO ME. I WILL CARRY THEM AND HELP YOU THROUGH LIFE'S TRIALS, IF YOU WILL FULLY TRUST ME."

     I Peter 5:7 Casting all of your cares on him; for he careth for you.

     NEGATIVE ATTITUDE: You might say, "If I give a full Tithe to the church, I will not be able to meet my needs. I can't put God first in my life, because then I won't be able to take care of myself and family. I am not able and strong in my faith to do that. I can't obey."

     POSITIVE ATTITUDE: The Lord says,  "I LOVE YOU. I AM ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF YOU AND YOUR FAMILY, IF YOU WILL TRUST ME. I WILL NOT LEAVE YOU OR FORSAKE YOU. TRUST ME! I AM SUFFICIENT FOR YOUR NEEDS. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS ASK AND THEN TRUSTINGLY BELIEVE"

    II Corinthians 9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.

     NEGATIVE ATTITUDE: You might say, "It is so hard to believe for my healing, I have such little faith for that stuff. I might pray in church, but I don't have the faith to believe like that."

     POSITIVE ATTITUDE: The Lord says,  "I LOVE YOU. DON'T JUDGE YOURSELF BY WORLDLY STANDARDS.   I HAVE GIVEN YOU ALL THE FAITH THAT YOU NEED WITHIN YOU. YOU JUST HAVE TO USE IT AND BELIEVE THAT MY WORD IS TRUE."

     We need to have good esteem of ourselves and we can do that when we have right standing with Jesus. When He is on the throne as Lord of our lives, then we "can" use the faith that He has given us to believe for healing. Apart from doing His will we can do nothing of ourselves. When our eyes are on Jesus then we can have a right perspective in using our faith. 

     We can have healing in our lives when we accept the Biblical truths about healing.  Satan lies, telling us that we can't be healed.  Jesus already took our sins, sicknesses on the cross with Him.  We just have to have strong enough faith to believe for it.  I have much more to say about "Healing" in my Bible Study section of Diana Gray Ministries' web site.  Here is the url address for the various studies including "Healing":   http://dianagrayministries.net/bible/index.html

     This world is so small compared to the glory of Heaven.  Snap your fingers and this lifetime is over, but eternity goes on forever.  Why hold on to anything that has no Heavenly value?  If it doesn't glorify God, why say, think or do it?  Now do you see how easily the devil Satan can suppress the truth about Jesus?  This is a spiritual battle and the world's souls are at stake.
