If the devil can influence your thoughts, He can get you to do his deeds.

It all starts with our thoughts, and if those thoughts are negative and wrong, and we speak those thoughts and soon we have set a trap for ourselves with our own words.

I have heard people say, " you know me, I am going to speak my mind" What if the devil has placed those very thoughts in your mind, to bring hurt and pain to someone?
I have experienced this many times from Christians, and I just stayed silent, that let them know something was not right in their words.

We need to think before we speak. Ask ourselves, is this thought from me, God or the devil.  Is it a thought that gives me peace or does it have fear or pride attached to it?

As weak as Jesus was in the wilderness in His temptation, He never allowed the devil to alter His thoughts about God's word.
Every thing that the devil threw at Him, was superseded, by "It is written" 

Jesus also showed us in that encounter with the devil, that in our humanity, we too can win over the barrage of evil thought the enemy places in our mind.
Just by speaking God's word.
That is our shield of protection from the thoughts that the enemy tries to place in our mind.

I heard some Christians tell of a movie that they went to see, but there was so much violence and negative talk, that they got up and walked out. Praise God!

Psalm 119:11
Your word I have hidden in my heart, That I might not sin against You.
(If our heart is full of God's word, then there will be no room for the junk of the world)

Psalm 119:133
Direct my steps by Your word, and let no iniquity have dominion over me.

Since we Christian's have the mind of Christ, then our words are powerful, and we either speak life or death. Jesus spoke death to the fig tree. He spoke life to the disciples.

Beloved, be aware of what you are thinking, fill yourself up with God's word so that your thoughts are righteous and good and will produce good fruit.

God Bless your day
Jesus loves you

Love in Jesus
Joy

DOES IT MATTER WHO PREACHES THE GOSPEL, AS LONG AS THE GOSPEL IS PREACHED?

 G O S P E L= GOD'S OWN SON PROVIDED ETERNAL LIFE. This is the true gospel,  the good news!! What are we to conclude about this matter? Paul makes it clear, that whoever preaches Christ and the gospel, it doesn't matter, as long as the Gospel gets preached. Philippians 1:15-16 Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill.  The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains, but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Gospel. What then? Only that in everyway, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes and will rejoice. Beloved, there are all kinds of preachers out there, but their motives are not our business. Those that are preaching for all the wrong reasons, could later repent, and start preaching for the right reasons.  We have seen this through the years. We are to listen for the truth of God's word. I h...

JESUS IS NOT A GLORIFIED BUTLER, HE IS THE SON OF GOD.

SOME BELIEVERS THINK THAT JESUS IS A GLORIFIED BUTLER.  Whatever they ask for they will have, whether it is right or wrong. JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD!!  YOU ARE NOT TO COMMAND HIM,  YOU ARE TO ASK HIM, HONOR HIM, AND RESPECT HIM AND HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.  I have heard some believers young in their faith and understanding, say that they have prayed for such a thing and God will give it to them. They are trusting in their faith, not their faith in God. (Works of the flesh, which is witchcraft) Witchcraft is attempting to manipulate your environment or circumstances. (SELF) Works of the flesh. Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. (1Samuel 15:23) Galatians 5;19-20 NOW THE WORKS OF THE FLESH ARE EVIDENT, WHICH ARE: Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions , jealousies, outburst of wrath , selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, and revelries, ...

GOD'S LOVE LETTER TO HIS CHILDREN. PART 2

Read God's word and see how many times He chose to bless and not curse His people. God knows our every move and cares that we understand there is obedience to His word that will help us. God's word is a light unto our path.  Psalms 119:104-105 Through Your precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way. Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path. God's word is rest for the weary, when we have not obeyed the word of God, we will become weary, anxious, and fearful, when we choose to do our own thing instead of what God tells us to do. Jesus loves us too much to leave us where He found us.  Praise God that he did find us searching for truth. Thy word is truth and Jesus is that word. So yes, there will be reminders for our spiritual growth that is needed. Will you squirm and try to fight the Holy Spirit? Yes, because the flesh always fights the Holy Spirit. Galatians 5:17 For the flesh lust against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and th...
