AN UNDERSCORE ON THE NEED TO SEAL OUR HOMES AGAINST THE DESTROYER

That is kind of a compliment, in some ways, to be buffeted by the "diminutive one" himself.  Out of all the minions to afflict a family, to have the head piece of crap come and "minister", now that is something....  What a waste of potential humanity - all of them, who feel at home where evil acts have occurred, who feed off of the negativity and rebellion at the pure and wholesome things of God.  Pathetic.

I have known many people who have fallen from high places.  The ONE thing they ALL have in common, is that they simply have a CONTRARIAN nature and spirit about them.  One that exudes rebellion and eventually even contempt for what is good or right.  Their only salvation in this mode, is to rebel against the prevailing sin of the day and turn to righteousness - but I am not even sure that is enough to save them.  I am convinced that some people are just not capable to being loved - and of being saved.  Not that the blood of Jesus is not capable of saving them - but that they simply have a hatred for what is good and right, therefore, even given every chance under heaven, they will reject the light and take to the darkness.  It is sad beyond words to witness:

Heber C. Kimball (Quorum of the Twelve)
Joseph ... said the nearer a person approached to the Lord, the greater power would be manifest by the devil to prevent the accomplishment of the purposes of God.
He also gave me a relation of many contests that he had had with Satan, and his power that had been manifested from time to time since the commencement of bringing forth the Book of Mormon.
I will relate one circumstance that took place in Far West, in a house which Joseph had purchased, which had been formerly occupied as a public house by some wicked people. A short time after he had moved into it, one of the children was taken very sick. He laid his hands upon the child, when it got better. As soon as he went outside, the child was taken sick again. He again laid his hands upon it, so that it again recovered. This transpired several times, and Joseph inquired of the Lord what it all meant, when he had an open vision, and saw the devil in person, who contended with Joseph face to face for some time. He said it was his house, it belonged to him, and Joseph had no right there. Then Joseph rebuked Satan in the name of the Lord, and he departed and troubled the child no more. (Journal of Heber C. Kimball, p.80)
