1 PASTOR LYNN W. BEANUMB EANUM,, JR. J 5756 Zachary Taylor Highway Mineral, Virginia (540) (phone) (540) (fax) Volume 31, Issue 9 August 1, 2011 THE REALITY OF DEMONS Pastor Lynn W. Beanum, Jr. reetings in the wonderful name of our Lord Jesus Christ, the captain and sooncoming King. I pray that we all will be ready for and expecting his return at any time, for we know not the day nor hour when He shall appear, not even the angels. But the signs of His coming are everywhere, seeing how men, women and children are being possessed by "Satan or Demons." Thanks be to our God for giving all the resources needed to be ready, for He knew that demons would try to distract us. According to Acts 1:8, "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you; and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth." Each of us should be aware of the "Reality of demons." The word daimonia (Gr) means demons, never devils. There's only one devil, diabolos (Gr), and that is Satan. To the reality and personality But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you... of demons the N.T. Scriptures bear abundant testimony, as to their origin, but they are not to be confused with the angels mentioned in II Pet. 2:4, For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell. Hell is a word we don't hear much nowadays, but we think it's all right to sin and let everyone do as they please, doing things that feel good to do. It's not God's will for us to be cast to hell, but through his death, we can receive eternal life. WOW, look at this, God cast the sinning angels to hell delivered unto chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgement. Jude 1:6, and the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgement of the great day. Demons are spirits. Matthew 12:43-45, When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. Then he saith, I will return unto my house from whence I came out ; and when he is come, he findeth it empty (No Holy Ghost), swept and garnished. Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation. Please let's pray much for this generation, to receive the power of the Holy Ghost to resist Satan/ demons, thereby reflecting God's Spirit in these last days. It's not about us, but God, lifting him up high for others to see. God will bring all men to him. Pray, pray and continue to pray that the will of God will be done. Amen Amen Amen... Verse for the Month Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: (Ephesians 2:2)

2 Vacation s Over! Sister Deborah Adams, Editor Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth (II Timothy 2:15). Summer vacation is almost over and it s time to go back to school! Did the busyness of summer cause you to slack off of your study of God s Word? Vacations? Travel? Children at home? Extra yard work? No matter what the season, there are plenty of things to distract us and keep us from studying, but it s time to put away the excuses and get into the Word. We should never get tired of studying and learning from the Word. The Holy Bible has 66 books wrapped up into one book that gives us history, poetry, prophecy, as well as doctrine. From Genesis to Revelation you will discover the continuous story of man s relationship to God and His plan for redemption will unfold right before your eyes. This incredible book provides great mystery, love stories, and family drama, while delivering unalterable truth penned under the inspiration of God. Though written thousands of years ago, the Bible clearly presents God s commands for successful living and wisdom for every step of life s journey. And these truths are as relevant today as they were the day they were recorded when rightly divided. As Fall arrives, I encourage you to look around and find a good Bible study class and get into the Word. Mark the Bible classes on your calendar and make Bible study a part of your regular routine. If you do, you will experience fresh blessings from our Heavenly Father, and the fun and fellowship of meeting with other believers. It s time to study! What are you waiting for? --Love you, Sister Debbie Warning: Beware of Terrorist Groups in Church Submitted by Elder Clinton Porter, Sr. A Word From Our Elders The latest news reports are that five terrorist cell groups have been operating in many of our churches. They have been identified as Bin Sleepin, Bin Arguin, Bin Fightin, Bin Complainin, and Bin Missin. Their leader, Lucifer Bin Workin, trained these groups to destroy the Body of Christ. The plan is to come into the church disguised as Christians and to work within the church to discourage, disrupt, and destroy. However, there have been reports of a sixth group. A tiny cell known by the name of Bin Prayin is actually the only effective counter terrorism force in the church. Unlike other terrorist cells, the Bin Prayin team does not blend in with whoever and whatever comes along. Bin Prayin does whatever is needed to uplift and encourage the Body of Christ. We have noticed that the Bin Prayin cell group has different characteristics than the others. They have Bin Watchin, Bin Waitin, Bin Fastin, and Bin Longin for their Master, Jesus Christ to return. NO CHURCH IS EXEMPT! (However, you can spot them if you bin lookin and bin goin.) --Author Unknown Let s make wise choices and seek the Lord while he may be found.

4 Who Do You Trust? By Brother Carlton Smith Greetings in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. With the bottom falling out of the economy, homes foreclosing, and gas prices on the rise, who or what are you putting your trust in? Hopefully it s not your job or your money, because they both can fail you! The Bible tells me in Proverbs 3:5-6 to, trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto our own understanding. Proverbs 3:7: In all our ways acknowledge Him and He will direct our paths. Psalm 5:11-12, But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: Let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: Let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee. Psalm 5:12, For thou Lord will bless the righteous favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield. So I say to you again, put your trust in the Lord. He will never leave you nor forsake you! The Storm is Almost Over Sister Joan Washington There was a time in my life that I was going through and I could not see my way out. I looked around to my left and to my right and still could not see a way out. I looked back to give up because I didn t think I could make it. Then a voice said to me, Hold on; the storm is almost over. So after you ve done all you can, just stand and trust Him. You are God s child and you can make it. So He said it and I believed it. So I m here to tell you that you can make it. Just ride out your storm and don t give up, because the storm is almost over. And you can make it. Psalm 116:1-2: I love the Lord because He hath heard my voice and my supplication, because He hath inclined His ear unto me. Therefore, will I call upon Him as long as I live. You re Always There for Me Submitted by Sister Lynetta Watkins When the world comes crashing in And chaos rules my mind, I turn my heart to you, Lord, And pure, sweet peace I find. You lift me out of trouble You comfort me in pain; You nourish, heal and cleanse me, Like cool, refreshing rain. In times of joy and bliss, When things are going right, You lift me even higher, And fill me with delight. You listen to my prayers; You hear my every plea; I m safe because I know You re always there for me. Page 4 Temple of Deliverance HCG, Inc., Newsletter

6 Come Join Us for our Annual Revival and Homecoming! Revival: Monday-Friday, September :30 p.m. Nightly Guest Revivalists: September- 5, 6 (Monday - Tuesday) Elder Ernest Wilford Ebenezer Church of our Lord Jesus Christ - Richmond VA September- 7,8, 9 (Wednesday - Friday) Elder James Dudley True Deliverance Church of Our Lord Jesus Christ - Bowling Green, VA Homecoming Day: Sunday, September 11-3:30 p.m. Guest Speaker: Bishop Samuel R. Peters Greater Refuge Church of our Lord Jesus Christ, Richmond, VA Escape With Music The pressure of caregiving can occupy our entire existence. Its intense and exhausting demands can drive us to dreaming of escaping, even if just for a few moments. Have you ever tried music as an escape? Music affects us in very powerful ways. Playing our old favorites and treasured hymns helps us to remember more pleasant times. There are studies that have been done showing that listening to music reduces chronic pain and depression in caregivers. Song lyrics give us words to describe feelings that we otherwise could not express. One of the best gifts I ever received came from my children. They got together and purchased a Nano Ipod for me. I hooked it up to my computer and loaded a lot of my favorite music onto it. I put those earphones on and listen to praise and worship music as well as old-fashioned church songs while I take my early morning walks, while I am working in the garden, and even when I lie down at night to get muchneeded rest. Even now while I work on this issue of the newsletter, I am listening to aolradio.com. The music and lyrics about God s omnipotence, His power, His care all seem to keep my spirits lifted in difficult times. When I am having an especially difficult day, there is nothing more uplifting than hearing Dorinda Clark-Cole sing, Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus or Twinkie Clark sing Accept What God Allows. Music brings comfort and relaxation. It provides background sounds and a pleasant atmosphere. I turn music on in Mom s room at night. Whenever the enemy tries to attack in the night, he will hear Amazing Grace ringing out. Relaxing with soothing tempos can create a quiet atmosphere for rest and sleep. Fast-paced praise music, played loudly, can provide the atmosphere for praise breaks. There is a refreshing power in music. Heavenly Father, help me to see the benefits of listening to music throughout my days as I am refreshed in You. --Adapted from article by Daily Comfort for Caregivers Page 6 Temple of Deliverance HCG, Inc., Newsletter

7 Submitted by Mother Ruby Beanum Miriam Healed from Leprosy And Mariam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman. And they said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by us? And the LORD heard it. (Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.) And the LORD spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation. And they three came out. And the LORD came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam: and they both came forth. And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream. My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house. With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses? And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and he departed. And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous. And Aaron said unto Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not the sin upon us, wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein we have sinned. Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother's womb. And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, Heal her now, O God, I beseech thee. And the LORD said unto Moses, If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut out from the camp seven days, and after that let her be received in again. And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days: and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again. And afterward the people removed from Hazeroth, and pitched in the wilderness of Paran.
