16 Now it happened, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much profit by fortune-telling. 17 This girl followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying, “These men are the servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation.” 18 And this she did for many days.
But Paul, greatly [d]annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.” And he came out that very hour. 19 But when her masters saw that their hope of profit was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace to the authorities.
20 And they brought them to the magistrates, and said, “These men, being Jews, exceedingly trouble our city; 21 and they teach customs which are not lawful for us, being Romans, to receive or observe.” 22 Then the multitude rose up together against them; and the magistrates tore off their clothes and commanded them to be beaten with rods. 23 And when they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, commanding the jailer to keep them securely. 24 Having received such a charge, he put them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks.
Good morning and welcome
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen

Good morning everyone. Sitting at 43 degrees this morning. I guess autumn is officially here.
Looking forward to that first overnight frost that puts the grass to sleep and the mower stays in the garage.
Isn't that the truth. I am so sick of mowing by the end of the season.
I'm still waiting for fall to show up! We've been in the 80s for over a week. Normally, we've already experienced our first frost by now.
They are saying we'll have a low of 31 degrees next week. That's light up the wood fire cold.
Good Morning. God Bless All Here Today.

..... Victim or Victor
Wednesday, October 9, 2024
We live in a victim culture where few take responsibility for their lives. People live as victims of their parents, their society, rejection, abuse, or of behavior they can't control. Even God's people often walk around with lifelong hurts, wounds, self-pity, and blame. But Proverbs 18:14 reads, "A man's spirit sustains him in sickness, but a wounded spirit, who can bear?" So, when you walk around feeling sorry for yourself, dwelling on what's been done to you, you're carrying a wounded spirit. And a wounded spirit will make your life and your burdens heavier and keep you from joy, peace, and fulfillment. That's not God's will for your life. Don't go through this life as a victim. Don't live according to how people treated you and start living according to how God treated you. What people did is nothing compared to what Messiah did on Calvary. That's everything. You're not a victim - you're a victor. In fact, you're even more than a conqueror. Live like one.
From Message #314 - Wounded in the House of My Friends
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:57
Today's Mission - Today, move away from your past and how people treated you and live solely according to how God has treated you in salvation.
Amen to that.
2 Corinthians 4:17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.
Paul saw the purpose of Satan, so turned to the demon, not the girl, and commanded it to come out and it did so.
Good morning. God bless you all!
