A SPECIAL EDITION OF THE SHEPHERDS WITHOUT BORDERS LIGHTHOUSE BUGLE MAGAZINE !!! MAY 1, 2012

ADDED BY BABSIE VAN DER BERG Dear Facebook Friends, there is something that has been on my mind a lot lately and I know it will cause some people to frown, but I have to share this so I can stay true to the teachings of God. So many people believe tha their loved ones 'look' after them or they can feel their presence. God's word teaches us that once our loved ones have passed on, they can NEVER return to this world again. In Luke 16:27 the rich man went to hell and asked someone in heaven to send somebody to warn his father and brothers about hell, he was told that there is a great gap between the dead and the living and that nobody that has crossed over can ever return! Our memories keep them alive in our hearts, but THEY cannot 'BE' with us. If you feel a Presence it is God who surrounds you with His security and Love. The only spirits that roam the realms are those that belong to satan. This is clearly stated in God's word - Ephesians 6:12 - 'For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual HOSTS of wickedness in the heavenly places". Mediums that tell you they can get you in touch with your loved ones, DO NOT VENTURE there, the only 'loved ones' you will encounter are the spirits of satan that can take on the personality of your loved ones. People who are with God will not have any desire to come back to earth to 'watch' over us, they are with God and nothing else matters to them but to praise and exalt God all the time. GOD is THE ONE whose presence you feel when you feel calmness and serenity accompanying you.

GOD is the ONE that keeps you safe and Protects you, GOD is the ONLY ONE capable of doing this. And for us to have all this wonderful protection from GO, we have to ACCEPT HIS SON JESUS CHRIST as the GIFT God has given us.
