According to the Bible we are not alone. The Bible talks about "principalities and powers" in the spiritual realm. It also warns us to stay away from them. Yet the spirits are talking -- and world leaders are listening -- and it isn't good.The End Times"And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.

(It's the battle of Armaggedon - [see verse 16], which involves the worlds leaders [vs 14] and takes place at the end of time, as Jesus announces He is getting ready to return [see vs 15]).In the verses quoted above we see three players who unite to deceive the entire world at the end of time, all the world that is - except for God's people.

Building self-esteem is often included in mental health "treatment plans" all over the world.Building self-esteem is article of faith in secular psychology. If the person can become more confident in his self-worth and capabilities, the reasoning goes, then he can make progress in addressing whatever issue he is struggling with. There's only one problem: This approach rarely works.People who come into therapy often have experienced a lifetime of abuse, trauma and failure. This life experience simply cannot be cancelled out.Using positive self-talk, clients can make progress for awhile. However, whenever they have a setback, their self-concept reverts back to where it was beforeĀand they are back to square one.Trying to resolve your mental health problems by building your self-esteem is a recipe for failure.
