LIFE-JESUS

  

Satan’s fault, he is continuously tempting me, putting before me things that I just don’t know how to say no to. He confuses my every thought, telling me oh it will be ok, go ahead.

This is what I hear from so many people who say they can’t seem to get God to hear them. What they don’t realize is God wants them to put Him first, to submit their selves to Him. He plainly tells us in His word to resist the devil and he will flee. However, the problem is so many times we don’t tell Satan to flee; we let him continuously flaw our judgment. Let me tell you; if you allow Satan, he will completely take over your life, and what is sad is that you won’t even realize how fast he has done so. You have to find the power and strength within to resist temptations. You will have to work at having God in your life, so that you are safe. Sure Satan is going to attack, but when you have the armor of the Lord on, you can’t be defeated.


I often ask myself why is it so hard to live a good life and quit blaming others for my mishaps; we often just go with the flow, even to think well I know they are going to heaven so I know it can’t be too bad. Hmmmm, think about that! Just how do you know they are going to heaven? Are you living in their soul? Let me tell you this for certain, NO ONE< I mean NO ONE can get you to heaven except for you going through Jesus Christ to get to His Father. How you live and the lifestyle you choose in life is no one’s but your choice.


The Bible tells us over and over that we must choose. We have the power of God to help us when we choose to ask and accept his power. Why is it so hard to live right? We have an evil nature. We also can go with the flow and live as we please. Or we can call on Christ and come to him with our temptations and receive the power that he gives to all who are saved. We can’t hide behind excuses forever, for when is forever? Will you have tomorrow?


James 4:7-10 (KJV) 7Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. 9Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. 10Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.


Ephesians 6:10-11 (KJV) 10Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11Put on the whole armor of God that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.


Even Jesus was tempted by Satan for Forty Days in the Desert. Mat 4:1-11(KJV) .


Matthew 4:1-4 (KJV 1Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. 2And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungered. 3And when the tempter came to him, he said, if thou be the son of God, command that these stones be made bread. 4But he answered and said, it is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.


This temptation was used against Jesus’ hunger, but as we know the story, later on Jesus would feed five thousand others with the five loaves of bread and two fishes. Jesus is our example and whom we are to follow always, and when we are being tempted we have to pull our armor out (The Word) and let those tempting know that we belong to our Heavenly Father.


There are many different occasions where Jesus was tempted, he walked these same streets that we walk, His love for His Father was greater than anything put before Him. He wore His armor at all times. Will You?


In the end Satan will be consigned to the lake of fire, will you be joining him, or will you choose life with Jesus Christ?


We need the full armor of God to take our stand at Satan's temptations. Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Keep on your full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be le to stand your ground and not falter to Satan. Its biblical folks just check out Eph 6:10-17 as well as many other scriptures.

Jesus is the Way to Heaven!

I trust that each of you will take time and pray for guidance and ask God to shed His light on you that you may seek Him all the time, not just when Satan is on your curtails.  God bless you my friends!

Destructive Lies

Who is really in control of your thoughts?



Satan often uses his lies to take over our minds. Your mind is a battlefield, you have to realize this and learn how to control what it is saying. If we take a second and remember that through Jesus Christ, God has provided us with everything we need to stand against Satan’s plans then you can control your mind against him. As stated in Ephesians 6:11-17, Put on the whole armor of God that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Put on all of God’s armor. Then you can stand against Satan’s evilness.


Before God created our world, He created angels (Job 38:4-7). God made a magnificent angel named Lucifer. He was beautiful, powerful, and good. But Lucifer became proud, and he wanted to be like God (Isaiah 14:12-14). His pride was sin. It is the first sin that we know of. Because of his sin, Lucifer could no longer live with God, so he was thrown out of heaven (Ezekiel 28:17). Lucifer chose to become God’s enemy. His name was changed to Satan, or the devil. Satan has no power to battle God, so he has chosen to battle against God’s best creation, us, Gods children. I am telling you this because I need you to see why there is a war going on within our minds, we have a powerful former angel who knows he cannot battle with God, for he (Lucifer) was defeated and thrown out of Heaven, so what he does is prowl around looking for someone to devour (1 Peter 5:8), and when we allow our minds to wander from God, we are giving Satan the power to take over, because he is stronger than we are in our own. However if we look back in the bible at the story of David facing Goliath, we see that we do not fight with our own power. God is always with us and He has given us HIS weapons to battle with. The truth is what God gives us so that we can tell what the devil’s lies are. If we know God’s truth inside and out, we will never fall for one of Satan’s lies.


“I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life.” We cannot put on truth until we have put our trust in the One who is Truth - Jesus (Romans 13:14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof.)


By abiding in Him and in His word, our minds become lined up with truth. We will be armed against the devil’s lies.

You can either believe Satan’s Lies or God’s Truth.

The Choice is Yours!
