3 Sure Signs That the Devil Owns You

[@mariaivanoff-lo3jh]

Never envy other people, be the very best you can be

[@deeblessed1588]

Good Comment I don't envy anyone, since they are all sinners and I will never envy a sinner Yeshua is the Center of my Life & Focus, bringing lost souls to him so he can save them ✝

I forgave the person who abused me, but, I still pressed charges and he went to prison.

[@LeonadoMusic]

Yes great story. It took many years for him to really repent and be transformed. And if I remember it happened in prison.

[@annsaunders5768]

God bless you!❤

[@LeonadoMusic]

Also agree with Sam's suggestions on focusing on the virtues! That really is the best way to go about it.

Agree Devin, found it very strange and cringy that a mom is involved in her son's struggle with masterbation. If no father is involved for whatever the reason is, get him to a good priest.

Guys, St.Monica helped St.Augustine through her prayer.

Forgiveness is one thing. Reconciliation is another. Don’t expect compassion if you keep playing with the snake and you get bit. Some people are toxic and you have to stay away from them and love them from a distance bc they’re like the biting snake.

Thank you Devin, for the very honest answer to the listener question about masturbation

[@dontwasteachance]

Thank you! You presented a lot of good thoughts to consider.

[@domenicangiolillo6272]

The devil wants you to love the flesh

[@deeblessed1588]

Yup, peoples emotions are so easily manipulated with alcohol, drugs, sex, jealousy, vanity, pride, sloth, greed, glutoney

[@shenazwahid2863]

Thank you for a great talk. 💖

[@Ezekiel336-16]

At the 43 minute mark, would be helpful to biblically define what forgiveness is and what it isn't (and what the goal(s) of mercy are). For example, on mercy, the goals that come to mind are 1) us not getting consumed with the justice scales and having that harden or deaden our hearts with Christ and others 2) strongly encouraging the receiver of mercy to repent and stay there with Jesus. There is a great line I heard a long time ago that's not in the Bible, but fits holistically with what the Lord has revealed about mercy to us. Repentance is the justice that mercy requires/desires, which of course should lead to meaningful reconciliation. In Christ, Andrew

[@Opinionatedguy1989]

The devil has owned me since I was 7. Before that I was an empty vessel with very little brain function.

[@judybartholomew-wp3zq]

Present misery that I’m still enduring from past sins and mistakes, anchor me to resentment of myself and people I stupidly allowed into my life. I’m guessing this is some of my purgatory on earth. I always wonder how St Paul got over all the Christians he murdered?

Crux infernum est!

[@naturallivingwoman]

Rosary is great. Its been about 30 years, however don't do it everyday like I used to. The enemies seem to preoccupy this space. As long as we respect and are kind to each other and understand that everyone has their own plights in this life on earth. We are stewards of the Earth - we must return to Earth. I have been vindicated by my own Brothers and Sisters in Christ, so can say from first hand how confusing life can be when one is hated by the majority. I am questioning the Patriarchy now; something is still failing in the world. I am not a witch but I make tinctures from resources provided by Mother Nature. Yet I have also being instrumental in Sister Faustina's beatification and canonization from 1996 Victoria, Melbourne, Our Lady of Lourdes via Divine Mercy, there were many of us praying at once; yet am still frowned up by some Brothers and Sisters because I do not fit into their 'mould' of their view of perfection within the Catholic faith. We must work together with those whom are genuinely good, this is the only way. Oh and stop killing and eating animals. The latter is akin to cannibalism and disrupts spiritual growth.

I have a question My brother is the executor of the property that I live on nobody else wanted to live here because they hated my mom supposedly but my mom had tears in her eyes cuz she broke her neck to work hard for this property and nobody lived on it and when it was time for me to do something she asked me to come move here even cosigned to sweeten the deal so I went and bought and put my place on it and mother died and I'm not as smart we all agreed to have my brother be the executor while he refused to pay the taxes even though he rented out I assumed it was cuz you got a divorce and was broken hearted and getting paid a taxes but I went ahead and pay them thinking I was doing a favor for the family because it was going in foreclosure that it started to go in foreclosure again and he told me to pack my get out I wasn't pay the taxes again because it was going in foreclosure thinking that it's because he was panicked and didn't know what to do and either way he was angry trying to find out he didn't pay taxes on the restaurant my mother bought him and he was going to use to probably get himself out of debt which he wasn't supposed to give a part of the property because he got a restaurant in the home of his own he told me that he was going to put me in my place so I had to end up taking responsibility for all the property including the two rentals up front and yes you put me in my place I'm suffering badly haven't been able to yard care for my own home is up front is where the city can see I'm in the back where nobody can see And yes I get real angry cuz the last four years I've been having to deal without no air conditioning in Houston Texas no heat The walls of our structure now are all deteriorated because the little bitty hole that I was going to fix in the roof or wasn't able to do because I paid the taxes a lot of negativity is happening to be financially because I'm just waitressing Denny's so it's hard for me to come up for taxes for 5 acres of land and keep it mowed and keep it cleaned up for the city won't give us a fine and I'd be mad sometimes I have to take a shower in the water hose I don't have no hot water I don't have no sink to wash my dishes I have to move my clothes around everything around because the roof is caving in and I'm angry because I don't have a good home like I I usually keep myself in I was made a promise I took care of my mom till she died I took care of my sister till she died or took care of my father not so much my it wasn't really hard work but still I was made a promise I'm angry they get to take a bath every night they don't have to start to death and eat ramen noodles sometimes and again right now the taxes aren't being paid it's been going on for 5 years of scared to death and I'm going to die and help because I'm angry I would lied about told I'm the one that's the thief told go get a lawyer cuz he knew I didn't have the money but somehow it came up and I know the angels are there for me because strange things should happen to give me strength to go on me being upset when I'm freezing to death in the winter and taking a bath in the water hose me and angry knowing they have taken a bath and they're comfortable in their homes and have food on the table what do I do That's it that's

I am a Mystic, looking at this through the lens of the Abrahamic Religions, Egyptian, Greek and Hindu Philosophy. Throw Jung in there too. What if you looked at it in the sense of the Shadow Self? I see "the Devil" as a Force, more like a Mist, than a Being. We need, as individuals, to really look at the actions and qualities of our Shadow Self. We ALL have our Shadow to keep in check. In order to overcome the things we do/have done, we have to take inventory and try to find out WHY we do/did what we do, that we don't like and are ashamed of. Trace it to the Source. Don't blame what is done on the Devil, Devils just do their "jobs" it is ALWAYS You that decides between Good and Evil. Which side do You feed more? I don't point this out to disagree with Anything, or to argue. Just offering a different angle to tackle "bad behaviors" and ways to approach how to change and integrate them so it stops being a problem. No One's Spiritual Path is wrong, unless it is hurting yourself or any one else.

[@apathetiquette]

I disagree with your take on Judas. It seems that he was trying to "kickstart" the revolution that so many expected the Messiah to bring.

[@josephthorsen2968]

I think I understand Jesus's teaching on forgiveness. Ok! But isn't there some responsibility on the victim and society at large to seek justice. For example, suppose you are bullied or someone stole your car, maybe someone murdered a loved one. Is it simply a matter of saying I forgive you. That's all. If the concept is total forgiveness, does justice have any meaning?
