No, actually, the record is quite good. Using these principels consistently and with faith produces results. But it only works if you work it.
Every so many years these beliefs rear their ugly heads to deceive a new group of people. They appear to work up to a point, but what's really happening -- is that bit by bit, you're being pulled away from the truth.
As I told you before, I've been there and done that, years and years ago. I praise God that He got me away from the deception before it was too late. I pray the same for you.
For what is a man profited if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? Mat 16:26
