RESIST THE ENEMY'S LIES

-

John 8:44

 "You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.


Here, Jesus was talking to the Jews who worshipped God for personal gain, those of them who were hypocrites.


Funny enough, the devil or satan lives here on earth. He comes again and again, sending his little demons to whisper rubbish into our ears.


His tactics still remains the same just the way he toiled with Eve in the Garden of Eden.


If only we could see those ugly things whispering those lies in our ears.


How do we overcome


Revelations 12:11

 "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.


Not by shouting the blood but standing on what the blood has done. The word of our testimony Jesus the Christ. We are not afraid of death we know who gives us life. God!


What was the lie . . .


Genesis 3:4-5

And the serpent said to the woman, "You will not surely die.

 "For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."


The devil called God a liar!


The bible says:


Titus 1:2

in hope of eternal life which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began,


The devil wanted them to see the physical not the spiritual.


He still does same today!


Fixes our mind just on the physical, aim is to kill our faith.


If you give in, you end up not believing God's promises anymore but now distracted by the enemy's lies.


Matthew 13:19

"When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the wayside.


This liar comes with his lies time and again to take our minds from what God has said to make other us focus on logics mundane logic and believes.


But we must not give in.


2Corinthians 1:20

For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.


So whose report will you belief?


The enemy will say


* we are sick?


 but we reply that by the stripes of Jesus we were healed


* we are poor


but we reply that we are blessed with all spiritual blessings


* we are sinners


but we reply that the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all unrighteousness


* we can't make it


but we reply that we can do all things through Christ who gives us strength


* we would pay for past sins


but we reply that there is no more condemnation for we who are in Christ Jesus


* we will miss heaven


but we reply that we are already sitted with Christ in heaven


* we have nothing to offer


we reply that we are a chosen people, a royal nation called out of darkness into marvelous light to show forth the praises of God.

We are God's workmanship unto good works.


* we will sin


but we reply that sin has no dominion over our mortal body because of Grace


* we are not worthy


but we reply that God has given us the power to become His sons


* we should revenge, hate or payback


but we reply that we have the mind and Spirit of Christ


* that evil will happen to us


but we reply that no weapon fashioned against us shall prosper, that we dwell under the secret place of the Most High


No matter the lie the enemy brings we must counter with the word of God.


That is what Jesus did!


Not only when He was tempted in the wilderness by this same enemy.


He did so throughout His time on earth.


Remember He knew when the enemy was speaking through Peter


Matthew 16:23

But He turned and said to Peter, "Get behind Me, Satan! You are an offense to Me, for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men."


So even people around us even in the church could become the enemy's  spokesperson.


Let us beware!


I see us going through it all, not falling prey of the enemy's lies.


In love, trusting God, hearing God, staying with His Word.


We shall not fail, fall or falter.


We will not give in to the enemy's lies, bye bye to depression, pain, sorrow, regret, doubt, confusion and sin.


Welcome peace, joy, justification, and righteousness.


We shall succeed.


He calls us blessed.


Love

MAINTAIN A GODLY MARRIAGE

-
Judges 13:2-3,6,10 In those days a man named Manoah from the tribe of Dan lived in the town of Zorah. His wife was unable to become pregnant, and they had no children. The angel of the Lord appeared to Manoah’s wife and said, “Even though you have been unable to have children, you will soon become pregnant and give birth to a son. The woman ran and told her husband, “A man of God appeared to me! He looked like one of God’s angels, terrifying to see. I didn’t ask where he was from, and he didn’t tell me his name. So she quickly ran and told her husband, “The man who appeared to me the other day is here again!” We live in times when the institution of marriage is being destroyed from in and out of the church. Divorce rate is high and many are in a marriage but are not happy therein. What is the problem? God has been taken out of the equation. How? Jesus said: Matthew 19:8 Jesus replied, “Moses permitted divorce only as a concession to your hard hearts, but it was not what God had origina

Remember: God is in control.

As we go through the 11th month of this year of accomplishment, let us be reminded. When it seems to hurt so much, or it all looks quiet and alone, when it appears not to work out. Please don't give up, God is still in control Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. My dear it is not about how you feel, and not about what it seems, it is about what He Has promised and He who promised is sure to keep His Word. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:12 " Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you." God is in control and His plans for you are good. He has already done it. Romans 4:21 " and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform." Have a

NEEDLESS BATTLES

-
Judges 12:1-4 Then the people of Ephraim mobilized an army and crossed over the Jordan River to Zaphon. They sent this message to Jephthah: “Why didn’t you call for us to help you fight against the Ammonites? We are going to burn down your house with you in it!” Jephthah replied, “I summoned you at the beginning of the dispute, but you refused to come! You failed to help us in our struggle against Ammon. So when I realized you weren’t coming, I risked my life and went to battle without you, and the Lord gave me victory over the Ammonites. So why have you now come to fight me?” The people of Ephraim responded, “You men of Gilead are nothing more than fugitives from Ephraim and Manasseh.” So Jephthah gathered all the men of Gilead and attacked the men of Ephraim and defeated them. When the Lord does not lead you, you become prone to minding and walking with unnecessary things, like fighting unnecessary battles and stirring evil sentiments. I have always said that devices like racism, tri
