Romans 1:16-17
For I am not ashamed of the Gospel, for it is the power or God! Why try to do anything in your own power? Don’t hide in whom you believe in. Jesus did it for you on the Cross to the world, the testimony of His shed blood.
When the enemy strikes it was because he knows that he was already defeated. His goal is to mislead you into thinking – You can’t have what you asked for. Therefore, you must learn and understand who your enemy is and when to stand firm on the Word of God. Those who trust in Christ will never be disgraced.
It is not easy letting go of bad habits. Especially when you are unaware that it was a habit and it is acting as a hindrance to your moving forward. The WORD of GOD is a lamp unto our feet. Let go of the worldly ideas and trends – learn what GOD has to say and act on it.
Never believe that you are struggling alone. Never believe that you can’t do anything to change the situation. Always say what GOD says, always do what HE said to do – Put on the full armor and testify.
This battle is not fought in our strength. Jesus Christ shed His blood for our sins. The victory was won by sacrifice – Christ’s death in our place, and the sacrifices we make because of our faith in Him. Your tempting comes from Satan. You have a place prepared for you. He (Satan) wants to kill your dreams and your spirit. Give your testimony – The more you testify, the more you increase the Kingdom of God – Exhort your brothers and sisters – Build faith within you and others.
The Word of God is an instructional tool, an information portal that gives life and meaning to your life. Without connection to your Creator life is meaningless, no direction and dangerous. Our God is merciful, and full of unconditional love and grace. He desires your attention more that you could imagine.
Well thank you LORD, that is not the plan for you and I. We were brought with a price. We have been redeemed – which means taken back from who captured us and held us in bondage.
But we are in a War! The one who we were saved from is very angry. He will do everything he can to distract us from knowing who we belong to. Jesus gave us a line-up of his weapons – Steal, Kill, and Destroy. He carries this out by deception. Every thing he does is a lie – He even lied to Jesus after he thought HE was too weak to make a sound decision.
