The devil's tactics..

The enemy of our soul receives GREAT pleasure in misguiding our thoughts. It doesn't matter to the enemy if we attend Church, claim to be Christians, pray or even live a Holy life. What he does care about is the small things. The Word says, "The little foxes spoil the vine!" Who is The Vine? Jesus Christ is the vine we are only the branches that the enemy works on to get to the vine. Since the beginning of the devil's existence, he's been bent on destroying The Vine! It is not about us. Never has been and never will be.

Recently I fell prey to the cunning whispers of the enemy, as we all do from time to time. I heard the words as spoken to the Prophet Elijah, "I only remain!" Shame on me for listening to the lies from hell. That is neither true nor has it any relevance to the Kingdom. If we can't have our feelings hurt, bear the cross of suffering for His name, HOW do we expect to endure the hardships we are going to face as we near His return. I repented of my imperfection, forgave the hurt and am back to show the devil I am stronger now because of his buffeting.

The enemy uses the same old tricks generation after generation. We humans are so HUMAN! We fall prey to his devises because he knows we are about self. Peter fell prey to it; he took his eyes off of the answer and looked at self. Elijah fell prey to it; he ran from Jezebel (the devil) and hid himself. It wasn't about him it was about the Power within him!

God help me / us to remember, learn from the past, quit letting the devil use us to our won hurt, it is not about us, it is Him and He is in control of the good times and the bad. Though he slay me STILL I will trust you. We are so our own worst enemy!

We can save ourselves a lot of grief if we’ll not allow the whispers of gloom to penetrate our minds and hearts. Resolve to not let it be about us and thank Him for allow the hard times and hurts to come our way.

I know easier said than done.. But perfect practice makes perfect. You didn't get where you are in a day nor will you be perfected in a day. Strive to enter in. It's a mind set and the enemy is working on your thoughts every second of your day looking for an opening.

To Him be the Glory!

Sunday praise time..

As we gathered into the sanctuary to prepare for our praise & worship service the power of the Lord was very evident. As we rehearsed our songs we felt Him draw us into His presence. The momentum was heightened in the pray room before we began the service, the fruit of our labor and the evidence of God’s desire to fill souls with His spirit became clear as six or more souls reached out to God in prayer wanting to receive the Holy Ghost. We experienced a new birth, a renewing of the Holy Ghost, several miracles of healing, deliverance and a wealth of refreshing for all our souls. We left changed, refreshed and excited about what God has done, is doing and is going to do for His people. Thank God for the liberty we have in the USA in 2008!

Can you see the sin?

Can you see the snake?

Maybe this will help!
Sin doesn't come with a warning label, "HARMFUL TO YOUR SPIRITUAL WELL BEING!"

Sin can be right in our face and if we're not careful we'll step right into the well laid trap of the enemy. Our flesh LOVES to make excuses, oh it's just a little off-color, it's not that bad! But if I remember correctly the WORD says, a little leaven leavens the WHOLE lump.

Our lump was not created to have sin of any measure.

Help us Oh God to be watchful and discerning of the devices of the enemy that wants nothing more than to taint our Holy Ghost lives with a lil' sin!!!

Problems

God is our constant help in the times of trouble. What we can not do on our own He is there to make straight the paths and give us strength to endure whatever comes our way. I rejoice in the hope that we have in Him. No sickness, distress, mental or spiritual attach can overtake us as long as we rest in the hollow of His hand.

Trouble is a small part of life and God needs to be the main part of our life. Nobody can talk to trouble like Jesus can.

In my weakness He is made strong.
