I Am What God Says…

After years of walking with God, I can testify – it is truly all about faith.

Trusting what God’s word says.

Taking God at his word. Knowing he means just what he says.

Standing on his word in the face of life circumstances that directly oppose it.

The challenge is to trust what God’s word says over and above all.

We must believe what God says about us.

Trust the promises he has made to his children enough that we actually seek him for them without fear. And while we seek him, we stand in expectation. We must expect to receive the promise.

We are all well aware that God tells us to ask and ye shall receive. But most of us, will ask, but not receive. Why? Is God’s word not true? No, the answer is found in

James 4:2-3, “Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.”

Everything we do must be grounded in faith and love. We must ask in faith – unwavering, and without doubt. Doubt ties God’s hands. God responds to and is moved by our faith. Romans 14:23, “And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.”

Know that your are healed – physically and emotionally: Isaiah 53:5

Know that you are set free: John 8:36

Know that you are the head and not the tail: Deuteronomy 28:13

Know that you are blessed: Deuteronomy 28:1-5

Know that the Lord is your provider: Matthew 6:26

Know that God is your keeper: Psalms 121:5-8

His love and care for us is evident in his word.

We can go on and on about what God says about you in his word. Search the scriptures and find out for yourself. Then exercise your faith and believe what he said about you – stand on it without doubt. Proclaim them – speak to your circumstances and command them in the name of Jesus to come I to alignment with God’s word.

Bind the enemy as your are directed to in Matthew 18:18, “Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”

The enemy, is always on his job. He is vigilant – Job 2:4, “…From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.” He is always looking for ways to attack and hinder our growth.

We must be even more vigilant. 1 Peter 5: 8-9, “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.”

So fight the good fight of faith. Do not believe the lies of the enemy when he whispers his lies in your ears. Rather, rebuke him I. Jesus’ name! Proclaim the word of God, and stand firmly upon it. Because the enemy is also a fighter, he is going to throw his best at you. But in Ephesians 6, God gave you armor with which to protect yourself. Put it on daily, and fight!

God has made us victorious! It is a fixed fight, you will win if you operate in faith grounded in God’s love, and refuse to doubt or waver when opposition comes.

You are what God says you are!

Know it, understand it, and stand upon it. Then, watch God move.

Have a blessed day.

The Obedience Factor…part 2

Obedience is worship!

By definition, worship is the feeling or expression of reverence and adoration for God.

1 Samuel 15:22, “And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.”

By definition, to obey simply means “to hear,” “to listen.” It carries with it, however, the ethical significance of hearing with reverence and obedient assent.

For some reason, the subject of obedience is taboo. Many people want to do what they want, give an offering to the church, but refused to allow anyone to dictate how they live their lives.

I do not advise people to blindly allow the traditions of men to determine how they live. Philippians 2:12, “Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.”

So we all must make decisions. Understand that God’s standard of holiness does not change. If your way of living is below his standard, you can still make your choice. However, you must be willing to live with the consequences or reward of your decision. Our choices or decisions can determine where we will spend eternity.

We all will someday have to stand before God – individually – and give and account to God of our lives. I personally don’t own heaven or hell, so I don’t have a place to put you. But I believe the word of God is absolutely right and the believer should govern their lives according to it!

So we should know the what the word says. When we are faced with instructions that are more tradition based, than scripture based, we can make an informed decision regarding obedience to the instructions without guilt or shame!

When it comes to obeying the voice of God, our only acceptable answer is to obey! John 10:4-5, “And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.”

I don’t care what anyone says, when God speaks, we know it is him. Why? Because there is a witness in you spirit.

Yet, there are times when we still struggle with obeying what he says. This is mainly because it is not what we see for ourselves, or it is too hard, and maybe a little frightening. It is during these times that we will go to great lengths to avoid being obedient to God’s call.

But just as with Jonah, God has a way of bringing us around to his will.

This brings us to worship.

Worship- true worship, will cause you to submit to God’s way, rather than our own.

It is impossible to worship God in spirit and in truth, while walking in disobedience at the same time. John 4:24, “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.”

Let’s look at the “truth” part – we must be honest with God in our worship. We have to be willing to be transparent before him. Showing him ourselves – the good, the bad, and the ugly. It is only in this transparency that we are vulnerable and open to change.

Most of the time the change that we experienced is a change in us, not the circumstances. Then when we have changed, the circumstances are now different too. Why? Because of the difference in us. Our perspective and our attitude now line up with God’s word. So we see things differently.

In this phase of our spiritual maturity, obedience to God is a way of life, and not just an option.

So I encourage you today, if you are struggling to walk in obedience to God’s word, go into worship. Truly think about the God we serve. How good he has been. How he had made something out of nothing so many times in your life. Especially when we did not deserve his goodness…

While you are in your worship, tell him about your struggle. Be transparent, be real. Let God work on you.

I guarantee that everything will be okay.

God bless you!

Handling Disappointment…

The best thing we can do for ourselves is to understand because we have given our lives to God, that every day is going to be easy.

In fact, because we are now followers of Christ, we have now moved up on the enemy‘s “most wanted” list. Yes, we signed up to have our faith tested and tried continually.

But don’t fret! There are also benefits to choosing to trust and follow God. Although walking with God may cause you to go I to the fire from time to to time, we have help! We have a promise of the father that he will never leave us nor forsake us. We serve a God that will get in the fire and walk with us just has he did Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the book of Daniel. Because of God being there, the fire could not catch them, nor could it’s smell even permeate them or the clothes they wore!

So, here are some things to keep in mind, and some biblical foundation to encourage your heart, mind, and spirit:

There are days/times when the worst happens

Hebrews 8:28, “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those (A)who are the called according to His purpose.”

Disappointments happen to everyone, but it’s how you choose to deal with it that separates us…

Philippians 4:11, “Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content:”

Everyone feels overwhelmed at times, but we know where to go…

Psalms 61:2, “From the end of the earth I will cry to You, When my heart is overwhelmed; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.”

Everyone needs help at some time. The trick is to go to the right place for help…

Psalms 54:4, “Behold, God is my helper; The Lord is with those who uphold my life.”

The word of God should be our main source to seek comfort, solace, peace, strength, joy, patience, etc. the list is endless.

We can spin our wheels trying to find the answers to the challenges we face. However, the best place to go is to God. He will open doors, illuminate path ways the lead to to people and resources that he has lead men to put in place to help us.

But let God lead you to the correct place, because there are also wolves in sheep’s clothing out there. If you follow the wrong guidance, you may find yourself being lead to the slaughter.

I wanted to share this information because I recently received some disappointing news and it had me spinning for a couple days. Then I found myself turning to God for help. Since then my heart is lighter and I am encouraged.

I know the road ahead is challenging. But I also know that with God, it will be okay.

God is my center. He is my foundation. Because of that relationship, he has a way of speaking to my heart in the still small voice. That voice that will cause me to focus solely on it, and move towards it.

My prayer for you is that you handle the disappointments of life is a way that will ultimately glorify God, and bring you the peace that you need.

I love you and have a blessed day!

My Daily Motivation…

With so much ugliness in the world I choose not to spread it to others.

It is easy to be mean and negative. To see the worst in people and to take joy in sharing that negative information to those around you.

However…

It is just as easy to be kind and positive. To see the best in people and to take the joyful responsibility to share that positive outlook with the people around you.

The difference is choice.

We have to choose the path we want to walk. No one forced to you be positive and no one forces you to be negative. We decide who we want to be, then act accordingly.

So my prayer for you today is that you will choose to be positive and kind. Speak your world into existence by faith. Fill your space up with positive affirmations that are founded in the word of God – and be blessed!

God will cause your cup to over flow and those around you will be blessed likewise.

Have a blessed day and let it overflow to someone else!

The Obedience Factor… Part 1

1 Samuel 15:22

“And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.”

By definition, to obey simply means “to hear,” “to listen.” It carries with it, however, the ethical significance of hearing with reverence and obedient assent. 

The Foundation

Contrary to what many people would have you to believe, God does not want your blind obedience. In fact, God requires his children to study his scriptures. 

  • John 5:39, “Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.”
  • 2 Timothy 2:15, “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”

God clearly wants you to know his word for yourself.

The reason why is simple – your salvation is your own responsibility. Meaning once you come to God and receive the full plan of salvation (baptism in Jesus’ name for the remission of sins, then being filled with the Holy Ghost). After this glorious event which causes all of heaven to rejoice, we must walk in the newness of life. 

2 Corinthians 5:17, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”

Our old way of life is now gone and we are walking in the new life that comes with the full plan of salvation. To do this successfully, we need to follow the instruction manual to this new life – God’s word (the Bible). This brings us back to studying the Word of God. I mean really, how can we live a new life by doing the same things we did in the old life. Remember, that old life was not working for us. It had us on a pathway that led to everlasting destruction. Now that we are on a new path, we need new information to be successful.

How else are we to know God?

This is a good question. We need preachers and teachers to bring us the word in a manner in which we can receive and understand (see Ephesians 4:11-12). But remember, when this is done it comes with the color of traditions and personal opinions of the person delivering the word. This is expected, because we are all human, and come from all different types of upbringing and backgrounds. Our job as children of God, is to take the meat of the word that is given, and discard the bones that would cause us to choke. 

Additionally, this removes excuses. We cannot blame people for steering us in the wrong direction. God tells us to study his word ourselves and pray for wisdom.

By definition, wisdom is the soundness of an action or decision with regard to the application of experience, knowledge, and good judgment. In other words, wisdom is the practical application of knowledge. We take the time to learn or get to know God and his word, Wisdom will then help us to apply his word to our lives.

James 1:5, “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.”

God gives us everything we need for spiritual success. We just have to be willing to have a relationship with him, instead of depending on other people to talk to God for us. By all means, ask for prayer when you need it. But also, talk to him yourself, in faith and receive all that he has for you.

Philippians 2:12, “Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.”

Salvation is free to all and it is for all. Without exception. Jesus died for us all. And he requires the same from us all. Obedience. We are to obey his word. We are to obey those who are in leadership, we are to submit one to another, and we are to recognize if/when leadership is guiding us in a direction that is contrary to God’s word. At this point we obey God rather than man. For we are a new creature and heaven is our goal. Who shall separate us from the love of God?

We cannot be hard headed, and still be called the followers of Christ.

We cannot refuse to do things God’s way and still call ourselves blessed.

We are to be willing to lay our wants and desires aside so that God’s will can be done. But the awesome this about God – if we seek him FIRST, he will still give us the desires of our hearts (see Matthew 6:33). Just as there was a ram in the bush for Abraham (Genesis 22:11-14), your willingness to obey will be rewarded as well,

This is the foundation of our obedience discussion. I am excited to share this topic with you – this is a 4 part series.

God bless and have a great day!

Let’s Talk About Covenant…

By definition it is an agreement, usually formal, between two or more persons to do or not do something specified. It is the conditional promises made to humanity by God, as revealed in Scripture. the agreement between God and the ancient Israelites, in which God promised to protect them if they kept His law and were faithful to Him.

New Testament- New Covenant: a promise of redemption by God to people as individuals rather than as a nation and on the basis of God’s grace rather than a person’s adherence to the law.

Examples of God’s Covenant with man:

God to Noah…

Genesis 6:18

But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons’ wives with thee.

Genesis 9:11

And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.

Genesis 9:13

I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.

God to Moses…

Exodus 6:5

And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have remembered my covenant.

Examples of Covenant between men:

1 Chronicles 11:3

Therefore came all the elders of Israel to the king to Hebron; and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the LORD; and they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of the LORD by Samuel.

Ezra 10:3

Now therefore let us make a covenant with our God to put away all the wives, and such as are born of them, according to the counsel of my lord, and of those that tremble at the commandment of our God; and let it be done according to the law.

The New Testament Covenant:

Acts 3:25

Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.

Romans 11:27

For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.

Hebrews 8:6-10

But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.

For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second. For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:

Elements of a Covenant:

1. A sin problem that God needs to address.

2. God’s solution – God requires and act of obedience and faith from man. God’s Promise.

3. God seals the covenant with a sign (signs and wonders).

4. A reward to the believer (we walk by faith).

Covenants Today – Our Responsibility:

The promises of God are yes and amen (2 Corinthians 1:20).

It is the responsibility of every believer to search the scriptures. To study to know what God has promised to his people. Once the promises are known to the believer, it then becomes are responsibility to stand on them by faith to receive them.

The Bible says my people perish for a lack of knowledge. We we don’t know can hurt us. Many times we are living with less or we live a life of lack all because we don’t know what God has for us. It is not a secret that only the really blessed have access to. Actually, it is the opposite. The promises of God are free to all. But many don’t even know what they are because they run away or avoid work it takes to obtain.

Faith, without works is dead!

It requires faith to search the scriptures. It requires faith to study the scriptures. Once the promises are found, it requires faith to speak them and stand on them. Yes, the enemy is going to attack your faith. It requires perseverance, persistence, and consistency to fight the enemy and receive what God has for us. This is work many “believers” are not willing to put in. For this type of believer it is easier to live low, than to strive for more.

Which are you? Are you willing to put the work in to receive what God has promised?

God is a gentleman. He does not force anything on you. You are a free will moral agent. You can make your own choices and live how you want to live. God loves you enough to allow you to have the reward you want.

But also remember the scriptures says…

Matthew 7:21, “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.”

James 4:2-3, “…ye have not because ye ask not. Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.“

God does not change. Nor does his standard of holiness compromise.

His requirements stands sure. We as believers will need to rise to his level. God will not lower to ours. Yet he loves us all and reaches out to us. Extending his mercy and grace. In order to reach for it, we must be willing to let go of the things that has sought to keep us in bondage Year after year.

We must let go of fear. We must let go of slothfulness. We must let go of procrastination.

We must have a desire to draw closer to God. We must embrace the work of the Lord.

As we do this, we are in a place where we can walk in covenant with God. We can be who God has called us to be. We can do what God needs us to, and we can accomplish what God requires. Remember, our walk is for the people who God has given us to reach.

But be encouraged – the benefits out weigh any sacrifice you may make.

God is faithful!

What are your thoughts? Do you understand your responsibility in covenant with God? Please comment…

A Simple Solution…

John 6:28-29, “Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

To many, we are living in confusing times.

Contrary to popular opinion, we are living in the last days as the Bible described. The love many has turned cold. There has been a falling away even in the body of Christ. COVID-19 opened a door that made it normal to stay away from church attendance. But even now, when restrictions have been lifted, many still choose not to attend.

But God has not changed. Hebrews 13:8, Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever. He still requires his people to gather together to Worship and serve him (Hebrews 10:25). For it is in being together that we gain strength and experience, that allows us to go out into the world and work the work of God.

We are bombarded with voices and opinions of people that are contrary to the word of God. So much so that these influences will have you turn from the truth that is God’s word, and his will.

If a person is not firmly grounded in the word of God (for this is our solid foundation ), that persons can be fooled into going against God’s word. Psalms 119:11, “for they words have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against thee.”

We must do what the word says. Read the word, meditate on the word day and night – hide the word in your heart. By doing this, if any voice rises up and speaks contrary to that word, you recognize it immediately.

It is a simple thing really- believe on him who God has sent. Take what the Bible says above all – above every voice. By doing this simple action, we protect ourselves. We keep ourselves from falling into sin. We keep ourselves from the seducing voices that are in the world. Whose intent is to turn you away from truth and have you believe a lie.

So keep things simple- believe what God said in his word, and do it.

God has always had a standard of holiness. Because God does not change, his holy standard does not change either. Just because the year is 2021, does not mean the way we approach life or how we deal with any situation should change. Our methods my have evolved with the times, but even in this our actions should always come from an attitude of love and holiness. Hebrews 12:14, “follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord”

If you have questions and need clarification or a deeper understanding – Ask God! He will reveal his word unto you. But do it in faith and from a sincere heart. God is faithful, he will reveal it to you. Talk to your Pastor or Minister – Attending Bible study and Sunday School are perfect settings to ask questions. Many times God will use them to provide the answer you need. Regardless, when your answer comes, you will know it.

Keep fighting the good fight of faith.

Have a blessed day!

A Safe Place…

Sometimes life can seem overwhelming.

There are times when we just want close out the world be alone.

When it is time to step away, we must go to a place of safety.

It is awesome to know that we can run to God and be safe. We can find protection from the storms of life. We can be recharged, refilled, and renewed to resume the battle.

The thing that we don’t understand is that we can live a life IN the name of the Lord! We know that the name of the Lord is Jesus. And Acts 17:28, tell us that IN him do we live, move, and have our being.

If we walk according to this scripture we should also walk in peace and safety because we already in him. Ephesians tells us to put on the whole armor of God. A part of the armor is specialized footwear – our feet are shod with the gospel of peace. Everywhere we go, we walk in peace.

The enemy is busy throwing things at us left and right, that we often forget who we are. This lapse in memory causes us to feel anxiety and to be overwhelmed.

It was essential for the children of Israel to take stone out of the Red Sea after God brought them forth on dry ground. Remember the story of Moses. The stones were to build a memorial to the miracle that God did for them. We need something to jog our memory.

So after spending time in the battle and dealing the time and chance of life, it can become easy to forget. But if we have the memorial, when we look at it we also remember.

A safe place is remembering…

– just how the Lord brought you out.

– just how “impossible” the situation seemed

– just how people gave up on you and walked away.

– just how the Lord spoke to you, that it would be okay.

– the joy in your heart when he did the impossible

If the did it them, he can certainly do it now.

All it takes is a memory. As the old folks used to say, when I think about the goodness of Jesus and all he has done for me…your soul will cry out too!

Are you feeling sad, anxious, overwhelmed or burdened? What have you forgotten?

Take the time to stroll down memory lane. Remember all the great things God has done in your life, and be encouraged.

We serve a God who does not change. Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). If he was good then, he is good now. If he was a provider then, he is a provider now. If he was a healer then, he is a healer now.

A safe place … call on his name. Remember what he has already done. Thank him for the miracle you need right now, and trust him to bring it to pass.

Then rest in his strong name and stand it peace. This is the safe place!

Have a blessed night!

My Saturday Attitude

The sun is shining and no clouds in the sky.

We have come through challenge after challenge. Some great soldiers fell along the way.

But through it all God has not left us. He has been there providing shelter, and protection seen and unseen.

So even though things may not be perfect, I can still rest safely in his arms.

I make a conscious choice to rejoice in the God of my salvation and trust to him. I choose to remember what he has done – to strengthen my faith to believe him for the things that I need.

What a mighty God we serve!

So make it a great Saturday. Go out and enjoy what God has made, what God has freely give us. Be wise. Act responsibly. Move with intention. Occupy until he comes.

Remind yourself continually that God has your back and has never let you down.

What is your Saturday attitude?

It’s Time to Resist

James 1:14-15, “But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.”

James 4:7, “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”

By definition, is a passionate desire for something. A sensual appetite regarded as sinful.

There is a saying, “sin will take you farther than you want to go, keep you longer than you want to stay, and cost you more then you want to pay.” This is a true saying.

It is time to resist!

What you are fighting with is a distraction that is tailored to you specifically. It is a time waster. As long as the enemy can keep your attention and focus on the thing you list after, you are incapable of effectively doing what God has called you.

Picture a hamster running on a wheel, going nowhere. He is busy, spending a lot of energy and time, but accomplishing nothing.

The enemy seems to come at you with your own specific list at a crucial time. A time when you are on the cusp of moving deeper into God. Reaching a level where you have never been before in Him.

It’s time to resist!

God is awesome! He gives you the answers to the test even before you take it. We just have to recognize that you are in a test (or fight), the use the keys to escape. God promised to always provide a way to escape!

The answer is simple – Resist.

To resist is withstand the action or effect of.

We can always identify when we are faced with the opportunity to give into to that desire or lust to do our “special” thing. Remember it is tailored to you. Is is wrapped in a pretty bow that you find attractive. But you must resist!

We must weigh a temporary pleasure against the gratification of knowing you don’t have to fall or given. Weigh the guilt or shame against the joy of knowing you were obedient to the call and anointing on your life. Knowing that you made the choice and pleased God. Weigh the impact you had on the lives of others because you remained where God needed you. Rather than taking a detour in selfishness that occupied your time, kept you busy, distracted to the point where God was on the back burner.

Time is winding up. We must work while it is day. We cannot afford detours and unnecessary distractions that do not profit us or edify the body of Christ. Romans 8 tells us that people are waiting for us to take our place. They need us to operate within the gifting and anointing God has deposited in us. They are depending on our light to shine in their darkness. Illuminating the Christ. Letting them know if God can deliver us, he can deliver them too.

God has designed us to be victorious. Stop being a victim and grab your victory!

So resist! Do not give in! Fight the good fight of faith. You are needed. You are very necessary to someone else’s survival. God called you to be a light. Let it shine bright to draw people. But we can only do this when we are in our proper place.

If you find yourself in a struggle with lust. Take a deep breath and shake yourself. Simply resist. Don’t give in, say “no more.”Avoid people, places, and things that are attached to object(s) of your lust. Sometimes a good run is better than a bad stand. Run away from it than to weakly stand by it. Because you will give in. Separate yourself until you are stronger. Ask God to deliver you completely. As you resist, the devil will flee from you. Why? Because in your resistance, you begin to submit yourself to God. At this point, the only thing the enemy can do is flee. Because now you have the host of heaven behind you, protecting you. Who or what can stand up against that?

It’s time to RESIST!

Have a blessed day!
