Question
was melchizedek really christ as i have heard or was he somebody else? please let me know. also is ther any way that satan could possibly be respoinsible for me not going to church, because i want to go so bad but i just cant please help. thanks

Answer
Hi Kristopher,

Melchizedek appears only three times in Genesis and then disappears.
There are several theories as to who he was.
Some say he was the King of Salem and priest of most high God. Some say he was a Canaanite priest King.

But some say he was the preincarnate of Christ or an angel of God,as the manifestation of God.

I am so sorry that you have this problem about going to church, yet you really want to go.

Yes, I believe that the great deceiver Satan is playing a part in this, if so you have to rebuke him. God is telling you to go and Satan is telling you not to go.
Be strong in spirit, who do you want to walk with God or Satan.I am sure that once you go, the Devil will see that you have chosen God over him and he will move on.
But please remember that he only has to see a weakness and he will attack, and that is what he is doing to you.
If you are strong in faith then the Lord will guide you to church, you have then broke down the barriers that have been put in front of you.

I will keep you in prayer until I know that you have over come this and beaten the Devil and are experiencing the fellowship of church which is a wonderful thing.

I hope I have helped if only a little.

Regards and God Bless

Expertise

I can answer most questions on the subject of the Baptist/Christian faith. I am an active member of a Baptist Church Fellowship. I study the Bible and the Scriptures every day and have no problem talking to people about this. I am more than happy to answer the Lord's calling and help and support all people that are in need. I believe that is now my role in life.

Experience

Some times people go the wrong way in life because they have been let down by those that are close to them. It is all about trust, compassion and support. I carry out a lot of outreach work, so I know how important these things are to be able to reach people. I have worked with drug addicts and the homeless, as well as young people who have lost their way in life or are in prison.

Organizations
Baptist Fellowship.

Publications
My articles and letters have appeared many times in the local paper.

Education/Credentials
I am am a Deacon and secretary of my church, and also spend lots of time now also ministering to people in old folks homes as well as other outreach work.

Awards and Honors
I have won a National award for working with and supporting sick people.

Past/Present Clients
I do not call them clients, they are people in need of the love of God and of people. I have mentored many young people, including those that are in our local prison, to hopefully live an honest and Christian life.
