196.  DO BAD THINGS SEEM TO FOLLOW YOU MOST EVERYWHERE YOU GO? If this is true then be advised that there is only one reason.  The deceiver of all mankind who is Satan is the reason precious soul! The Holy Bible, which is only the King James Version and no other (per)version, says in John 10:10,
          "THE THIEF COMETH NOT, BUT FOR TO STEAL, AND TO KILL, AND TO DESTROY: I AM COME THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE LIFE, AND THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE IT MORE ABUNDANTLY,"
    In this portion of holy Scripture we see that indeed the thief who is none other than the devil or Satan is out to steal, kill, and to destroy your life and mine.  Also in Psalm 23:1-3 in the Holy Bible states,
          "THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD; I SHALL NOT WANT.
          HE MAKETH ME TO LIE DOWN IN GREEN PASTURES; HE LEADETH ME BESIDE THE STILL WATERS.
          HE RESTORETH MY SOUL: HE LEADETH ME IN THE PATHS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS FOR HIS NAME'S SAKE."
    Now in these beautiful verses of holy Scripture we see that when you are a Christian that "Jesus" is your Shepherd and since Jesus is your Shepherd then He makes you lie down in green pastures and He leads you beside still waters.  Also He restores your soul and most of all He leads you in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake. 
    The bad things that are following you are indicative of Satan and his evil emissaries doing their best to destroy you.  If you are not a Christian know that the devil is planning out your doom in some way.  It is the devil that causes most of the car accidents we hear about and it is the devil that plants in your mind to leave at a certain time so the timing will be just right for your next bad occurrence on the road or wherever. 
    The devil does not lead a person in the paths of righteousness but the devil leads a person in the paths of unrighteousness and destruction.  The devil does not make a person to lie down in green pastures but rather the devil makes a person to lie down in fields of hatred, fields of evil and fields of thorns and pastures of drought.  The devil does not lead a person beside the still waters but rather Satan leads a person beside raging waters and violent storms.  The devil does not restore your soul but rather the devil destroys your soul. 
    With the increase of the population and the increase of cars on the road we all need Jesus the Shepherd to lead us and to guide us in our daily walk with Him so the timing will be just right so as to miss the next accident on the road and the next Satanic trap or scheme to destroy us.  God's timing is perfect.
    Now if you are a Christian and you are out of the will of God for your life or have got willful sin in your life know that sin brings the devil and the devil is setting up your next accident or destruction.  Always remember that sin brings the devil. God bless you now!

    197.  DO PEOPLE GOSSIP ABOUT YOU SINCE YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN? If so then don't get mad and upset but just rejoice and shout for joy.  People gossip about me all the time everywhere I go and that just makes my day glorious and complete.  I don't want them to stop either.  The Holy Bible says in Luke 6:22-23,
          "BLESSED ARE YE, WHEN MEN SHALL HATE YOU, AND WHEN THEY SHALL SEPARATE YOU FROM THEIR COMPANY, AND SHALL REPROACH YOU, AND CAST OUT YOUR NAME AS EVIL, FOR THE SON OF MAN'S SAKE.
          REJOICE YE IN THAT DAY, AND LEAP FOR JOY, FOR BEHOLD, YOUR REWARD IS GREAT IN HEAVEN: FOR IN THE LIKE MANNER DID THEIR FATHERS UNTO THE PROPHETS."
    We see now in portion of the WORD OF GOD that in fact when people gossip about you and separate you from their company, go ahead and leap for joy and rejoice for your reward will be great in Heaven.
