Jesus told us plainly, “In the world you will have tribulation [suffering, oppression, distress, affliction]: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33, KJV). There is a place deep within your heart or belly where your very being is, that you can go no matter what is going on around you. It is the secret place of the heart where your spirit and soul coexist with God, and it is your safe-place! There you can talk…..
Who makes us righteous? Jesus. So then, we can call ourselves righteous. He puts us in another category when we come to Him. We are not like others who try to be righteous or follow religious rules. None of that counts to God in the game of eternal life or death that we are in. All that God sees, is what the Blood of Jesus covers, so come under the roof of that dwelling, where you are protected by the…..
We think of tribulation as a time when the earth will be pressed to the very core. According to dictionary.com, it means: “grievious trouble; severe trial or suffering…” In the original Greek, it means a pressing together like when grapes are in the wine press. We who believe God’s Word know that in the last days there will be the ultimate or greatest tribulation. In the prophet Moses’ last words to the Jewish people, he gives some very comforting instruction…..
Let’s talk about the apostle Paul a bit. He came out of the Jewish faith, had persecuted Christians and even had some killed. He was on the way to drag more to prison, accusing them of blaspheming God WHEN SUDDENLY a bright white light appeared and he fell to the ground. In this very supernatural occurrence, Jesus spoke to him and told him to stop persecuting Him (His people and the Word concerning His death and resurrection, and Sonship). This…..
Fasting breaks every yoke off of yourself and others (Isaiah 58:6). When you fast something in order to break the power of satan, things will begin to move. Usually things get worse because you are in a battle between darkness and light, and you must persevere UNTIL you break through. Esther and the Jews fasted 3 days and the power of evil Haman was broken. This was accomplished by group fasting (Esther 4:16). Daniel fasted, and the answers he sought…..
Which God do you serve? One who will come to earth and walk among men to show them His Heart, or one who demands that you kill anyone who disagrees with him, or ancient gods that have terrible morals and fight among themselves? Jesus came to earth to be born humbly as a baby. He then showed us how God desires for men to live: whole spiritually and physically and morally. Acts 10:38 states: “God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with…..
When a big cold front comes through after very hot weather, there are usually some fierce storms with high winds, hail, and high water. So it is in the spirit realm. There will be storms and times when you want to hunker down and hide in a cave, but like the cedar and oak trees, you must spread your hands to Heaven and worship while you sway back and forth. You may lose some leaves and limbs, but you can…..
Stop and think a minute. Are you ever a puppet of the devil? We all are, when we listen to the lies he speaks in our ears about situations, other people, and ourselves. We react to what he says, instead of what God says. We dance to his music, go where we know we should not go, do what he says to do, and worst for me, say what he wants me to say. The devil wants us to speak…..
Let us remember to consider what Jesus has done for us. He was with God in the beginning, and chose to come to earth to save a bunch of losers. Remember where you came from. Do you remember what it was like without Him? I do. Not good. We were losers because satan was taking us to Hell to spend eternity away from God, which is his one and only desire. The object of the game we are playing is…..
No matter what the devil does, don’t talk about it. This takes great spiritual concentration, but we are the “disciplined ones” or disciples. Even though he is very active, now more than ever, we do not want to call attention to his acts or behavior, but throw dirt on them with our words of truth and victory. Yes, evil needs to be exposed, and evil deeds punished, but don’t dwell on them, or magnify them, but instead, minimize the evil…..
