THE WORLD, THE FLESH AND THE DEVIL, PART 2

Jesus came into this world, to show us the loving nature of our Father.  

He taught us to love those that are unlovable to others, yet He showed them mercy and love and compassion.

John 3:16-17

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

"For God did not send His Son in the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

Jesus came in the human fleshly body, so that we would learn we do not have to be slaves of the flesh.

We cannot cast out flesh, it must be transformed by God word.  We must renew our mind. Neither can you disciple a demon. Cast it out!

God's word tells us to resist the devil and he will flee from us.

James 4:7

Therefore submit to God, resist the devil and he will flee from you.

Notice that you are to submit to God first, then you will have what it takes to resist the devil.

When the devil sees that you mean business, he will flee.

As you submit to God, the Holy Spirit will impower you to resist.

The devil will try to make you remember past sins, that are washed away by the blood of Jesus.  

Don't allow those thoughts to remain, quote God's word, just as Jesus did in the wilderness. He said "It is written, so you also quote God's word when you are under attack.

Remember the devil is a counterfeiter, and a liar.

He takes what God does and perverts it, lies about it and tries to ensnare you,

He use to accuse us before God, now He accuses God before us. He tries to make you doubt your faith in God. Just like he did in the temptation of Christ in the wilderness.

2Corinthians 10:4

For our weapons of our warfare are not carnal(natural) but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds,

casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.

When Jesus said "It is finished" at the cross, that is when He defeated the devil.

Beloved, guard your hearts from those enemies.

The world, the flesh and the devil.

Don't try to disciple or counsel a demon, cast it out, you have the authority, use it.

Mark 16:16-17

He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.

"And these signs will follow those who believe;  In My name they will cast out demons;  they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink any thing deadly, it will by no means hurt them.

We have the blood of Jesus, His word, and the Holy Spirit, we cannot lose.  

Jesus said, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God."

Pray the word, read it out loud, let your ears hear God's direction, comfort and peace and His promises. Believe all of God's word it is settled in heaven forever. 

Keep your focus on Jesus, not your flesh or the world.

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...
