HOW TO FIGHT WITH THE DEVIL –To win and win every time, according to Bishop Jakes, is to simply not get into the ring with the devil! If you get into the ring with the enemy and you’re not ready, he will put your eyes out. The devil thinks he’s got you defeated. He’s got you surrounded and waiting for the kill. But the devil is a liar. Greater is He that is within you than he that is in the world. Stay outside of the ring and throw some scriptures at him. Like, the battle is not mine, it’s the Lord’s. Satan, the Blood is against you. “Many are trying to fight the enemy under their own power. This is particularly dangerous for people who are not skilled, nor developed, nor consecrated to the point of having a level of anointing to fight him with.” (For more of this message, see The Anointed Singers & Speakers Video Drop Box below.)

HE'S COMING SOON!-- I just read an article at konniehall.livejournal.com/23618.html, and it really got my attention. A 22-year-old convert to Christ in Iran is witnessing daily to people in her country with an average conversion rate of 15 converts a day! Her prayer is to witness the conversion of 7,000 people in 5 years. Not only does she have a gift to evangelize, the Holy Spirit is working with her to reach those she speaks to. Usually within 5 minutes they are making a decision for Christ. Those that present a tougher facade with tougher questions and arguments are converted within 15 to 20 minutes.(SEE THE "EDITOR'S GREETING" FOR THE REST OF THIS ARTICLE.)

AS AN ACTRESS, KIM FIELDS spent most of her formative years in front of the camera. Now, she's spending a lot of time on the other side of the lens. The 41-year-old showbiz vet, wife to actor Christopher Morgan, and mother to son Sebastian, 3, has been busy directing episodes of Tyler Perry's hit sitcoms "Meet the Browns" and "House of Payne," offering advice to aspiring filmmakers as a panelist at this summer's "Lens on Talent: Get Focused" film symposium, and being a guest on the upcoming season of BET's "Lens on Talent: A Johnson & Johnson Filmmaker’s Challenge," which premieres September 12.

FOREST GUMP AND ST. PETER--- When Forest Gump died, he stood in front of St. Peter at the Pearly Gates. St. Peter said, "Welcome, Forest. We've heard a lot about you." He continued, "Unfortunately, it's getting pretty crowded up here and we find that we now have to give people an entrance examination before we let them in." "Okay," said Forest. "I hope it's not too hard. I've already been through a test. My momma used to say, 'Life is like a final exam. It's hard.' " "Yes, Forest, I know. But this test is only three questions. Here they are." (CONTINUED IN THE COMEDY CORNER ALONG WITH MORE GIGGLES!)
