Reasoning Theorems of Success

Job 1 verses 7-10
7: And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
8: And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?
9: Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?
10: Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.

Yes, Satan walked by Job’s house, but God had a hedge of protection around him. He could not penetrate it without God’s permission. Does the devil walk about the earth today? Does he look for ones to attack? Yes, he does. 1 Peter 5 verse 8, “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.”

During my 18 years of serving Jesus, I have experienced many vicious attacks from the devil…from being assaulted, shot at, oppressed, attacks on my health, finances, family, and ministry. Yet, through these many dangers, toils and snares, I have already come. My experience has been, that right before the LORD moves mightily in your behalf, the enemy comes in like a flood.

One night I was talking on the phone with a friend of mine when suddenly, my dog started fiercely barking. The hair of my flesh stood up (Job 4, verses 14-16 14: Fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones to shake.
15: Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up:
16: It stood still, but I could not discern the form thereof: an image was before mine eyes, there was silence, and I heard a voice, saying, ). My friend asked me what was wrong, and I replied “The devil just walked by”. Immediately the Holy Spirit came on him and he began to pray for protection for me. I saw in a vision the enemy strolling by and the hedge of protection that he could not get through.

Yes, the devil is real but greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world.

Giving a little clean, cool water to the birds is considered a kindness towards birds; sometimes fresh water can be one of the hardest necessities for birds to come by. Watching birds at the birdbath also brings lots of happiness to the onlooker.

Keeping a birdbath is, in fact, one of the easiest ways of bringing birds close enough to have a good look at them. Although birdfeeders cater to seed-eaters like cardinals and sparrows, birds that eat insects or fruit like the wren and waxwing don’t find anything interesting in the birdfeeder. However, the birdbath entices all types of birds, from robins to screech owls, to drink water. Keeping a shallow birdbath that is not more than three inches deep in the center is the best choice. If you do have a deep birdbath, try putting rocks in it to raise the bottom. Keeping a drippy birdbath is also not a bad idea, as it dramatically increases the number of species that visit a birdbath. To arrange a drip, you could install a small spray fountain designed for birdbaths or buy a birdbath that has a dripper built in. Make sure the bottom of the birdbath is rough as birds shouldn’t lose their footing on a glazed and slippery bottom!

Now comes the ideal location for the birdbath. Make sure it is at least five to ten feet from any cat’s hiding place, as cats like hiding beneath shrubbery to pounce on the birds at the right opportunity. The ideal place would be under some branches hanging within two or three feet of the bath so that the wet bird can flutter up the tree if needed. Of course, if you place the bath on a pedestal or hang it from a tree, it would be easy to see from the house, easy to clean and safe from predators. However, it would be better if it was within reach of a hose to make cleaning and refilling easier. But do remember to keep the birdbath away from the feeding station; the seeds and water from the feeding station may soil the water. Change the water every few days, and brush clean any algae that may form in the birdbath. After all this is done, it is time to sit back and enjoy the beauty of the birdbath and the birds!
