Paranormal Statistics: Did You Know...

Reviewing my notes for week #3 of our study on spiritual warfare on Wednesday nights at Calvary, “The Dark Side.” This week we are diving into the paranormal, Dabbling with evil is destructive, seeking direction from God brings life. 

You probably didn’t know that in America, 71% claim to have had a paranormal experience, 34% believe in ghosts, 56% believe ghosts are spirits of the dead, 37% believe houses can be haunted and 55% believe psychics have real power! Don’t miss out on tonight’s lesson as we dig in to these phenomenons and thought processes. Hope to see you soon, free meal at 6:30, brig the family and enjoy a great night of fellowship and teaching at Calvary Assembly of God.

Evil Exists in Our World Today...

Don’t be ignorant of the things going on in this world, evil is a real thing, and this is just one of many examples in our area alone.
Police: Fayetteville Couple Starved Handcuffed Child As Punishment

The article goes on to say how the boy was forced to sleep on a trash bag while handcuffed to a table, he was skin and bones, only fed 3 nights a week and the mom threatened to cut him and leave him out in the cold. This is a quote from the staff at his school, "They said his eyes and cheeks were sunken and his skin tone changed. Staff also noticed the boy was eating from trashcans and hoarding and stealing food from other students."

Lord raise this child up and restore his health, body and spirit. 

“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” 
- Ephesians 6:12

Starting a New Study: The Dark Side

Looking forward to starting my new small group series at Calvary Assembly of God tonight, feel free to join me if you can make it! We will be diving right into, "The Dark Side." Evil is no illusion, and while it can certainly hangout in the hearts of people, the worst kinds of evil is most clearly seen in the one who seeks to inspire it: Satan. Whenever we engage in spiritual battle, whether our struggle is with demons, the paranormal, or fear, we need to pray and express our faith in the One with all the power. Only prayer moves us from relying on our own strengths (which are actually weaknesses) and trusting the all-powerful God. He provides us with spiritual armor and a battle plan because He desires to set us free. God has the power to do so, and Satan has already been defeated.

Here are some of the topics we will be discussing in the coming weeks and some scriptural backdrop for each; Satan (Revelation 12:7-12), Demons (Mark 9:17-29), The Paranormal (Deuteronomy 18:9-18), Fear Not! (1 John 4:1-6), Battle Armor (Ephesians 6:10-20) and Battle Plan (Matthew 4:1-10) among others.

Feel free to join us for our pre-service meal tonight at 6:30 p.m. - Chili Dogs or Frito Chili pies along with all the trimmings, hope to see you there! Please feel free to hop onto our website if you'd like to know more about Calvary at www.CalvaryFortSmith.com

Easier Said Than Done...

I know this is very much one of those, “Easier said than done” kind of a things, but put this Word in your heart and allow God to take “Easier said than done” and turn it into, “Done because He said it!”

““In your anger do not sin”: Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold.”
