The TOP 3 things the Devil hates in the CHURCH
- Pastoral presence
- Prophetic utterance
- Discernment of demonic spirits with Word of Wisdom
In Christianity, the word of wisdom is a spiritual gift listed in 1 Corinthians 12:8. The function that this gift is given varies. Some Christians see in this gift a prophetic-like function. Others see in the word of wisdom a teaching function.

Joe Absher the other day Isara Mo asked
Does human suffering come from the:…
I submit the 3 things causing this in the church today in the post above His line of questioning follows below
1)Divine?
2)Demonic?
3)Own making.
4)Parental?
5)Generational?
Check out this scripture:
And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him

“Life is tough but it’s tougher if you’re stupid.”

Joe I love this Sgnt and will love to take the nickname Sgt Striker a.k.a.Isara Mo in honor of his very observable truth..
He has resonanced Jesus teaching in John 16:33 which says “in this world you will have TROUBLE but I have overcome it..
How can you overcome something if you are stupid?
A war quote from Tsu Zu says precise knowledge of self and precise knowledge of ENEMY leads to victory..
Jesus said you will KNOW the truth and the truth shall set you free..
So if I suffer and don’t know the cause or source of suffering (stupid) my suffering will be tougher but if I do away with my stupidity then the tough life will go away..
The need for the two special gifts comes in here.
The word of wisdom
The word of knowledge..
In Judges 6 Israel suffered for seven solid continuous years and then they inquired of the Lord the CAUSE of their suffering and the Lord God revealed to them that they had set up an evil altar..
Surely “life is tough but is tougher if you are stupid”
God bless the smart sergeant and bless also bro Joe Absher for this timely quote.

I hope you find Christ in your struggles . and know that anything causes you to seek him and find that heavenly fruit Grace and Peace . I would add an old pentecostal saying “there is no misery like holy ghost misery”

Joe Absher sounds wishy washy here a bit
Joe Absher
Ask your doctor friends . the ones say job suffered for his fear and lack of faith .

So brother Day you want to say ABSENCE of the above three is cause for suffering?
I beg to differ..
The apostles did only carry out their apostolic duties but pastoral as well yet suffered.
They had excellent real prophetic utterances and yet suffered.
Discernment to them seems a very common gift yet they suffered..
Paul was an annointed apostle with the gifts of the Spirit and yet he had to content with a thorn in the flesh..
If you had said SIN is the root cause of ALL HUMAN SUFFERING we might have a point from which we could begin a discourse although even that cause cannot explain EVERYTHING..
