Recognise authority!





"The end of all things is near, therefore, be alert, watch and pray" - 1 Peter 4:7

Jesus had said this same thing before in the Bible(Matthew 26:41) . Watch and pray. But what does it mean? How do we watch? When do we pray? What Peter and Jesus meant was that we should watch because the end of this world is near. Wars, destruction, the beast's 666 plate. We should be watching spiritually also, for what the Devil plans. This when prayer comes in. But this type of prayer is commanding. We command that whatever Satan is planning, is erased. This should be done at least on a weekly basis. The Devil only comes to kill, steal and destroy (John 10:10). He does not give life! Some of us are so taken up in our worldly desires, we'd do anything to make them come to pass. Satan can only twist what God has created. He'll (Satan) do it alright, but in a deal. You worship him forever, and he'll keep giving you what you want him to give you. DO NOT LISTEN! His secret desire is for you to die and never realise what authority and blessings in Christ you have! You, as a Christian, can order Satan to do what you want, but what you want Satan to do, has to fit in with what God wants. We have to destroy Satan's kingdom! He wants to kill you so you can go to the lake of fire with him! We have to stop Satan destroying us and trapping us in his blinded anger to revenge God. SEE Psalm 91/Luke 10:19.


These passages talk about our authority in Christ. Their are many more in the Bible, but these point out my point. Some of us, do not know about this power and are easily trapped. Others, know the authority but have no use of it, so the Devil takes it away (Luke 19:26) But some, recognise God's authority, and take it, to use appropiately.

Question & Answer:
Q = Being a Christian means suffering, and I hate that. So why do we bother?

A =  Good question. For starters, no job is easy. 1 Peter 5:10 says your suffering is not in vain. He will also establish and reward you for your suffering. Mysteriously, when you go through suffering and come out victorious, you just wanna go for some more suffering!

We must recognise our authority and use it appropiately! Recognise authority!

Pondering the Bible: How can a good God allow evil?

""The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?" Jeremiah 17:9 NKJV http://bible.com/114/jer.17.9.nkjv Q:  How can a good God allow evil?  This is the question I get from many Christianity skeptics. Well, let’s think all the way back to the beginning. God gave Adam and Eve a choice. To remain in His goodness, and enjoy a peaceful, free life, or go their own way and define good and evil for yourself. We all know what happened. The point I’m trying to make is,  man chose to do evil.  If you decide to deliberately burn yourself by putting your hand in an oven, you can’t blame the cook for that. It’s the same thing!  Man chose to do evil.  Well, why can’t God get rid of evil?  Do you want to remove your existence? Well, God doesn’t. You see, if God removed evil, He would have to remove man in the process, as man is evil. But He found a way to remove evil from us without wiping us out. He sent Jesus to die for u...

Inspiration Word - 4/26/18

The strength for our conquering and our victory should not be reliant on ourselves, but continually on Christ. The Bible does not teach that sin is completely eradicated from the Christian in this life, but it does teach that sin shall no longer reign over you. The strength and power of sin have been broken. The Christian now has resources available to live above and beyond sin and the world. Whosoever is born of God does not practice sin. It is like the little girl who said that when the devil came knocking with a temptation, she just sent Jesus to the door. Daily Prayer Lord Jesus, I need Your power continually. You know how many times I am tempted. Help me to not be reliant on myself.

DON'T LOOK BACK!

“Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.” Hebrews 10:38-39 KJV http://bible.com/1/heb.10.38-39.kjv  Many of us, when we face troubles or hardships we just give up. 1 year, 2 years then we just give up. Or, even worse, we start to think about joining the world again, drawing back from our eternal life. Satan will give you hardships and challenges, but these are not to destroy you, but strengthen you.  This is why we must not give up. God uses our challenges to strengthen us. We must not draw back from our faith. Jesus told us this: “And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.” Luke 9:62 KJV http://bible.com/1/luk.9.62.kjv So don't look back, back at your past life and start thinking about the world. Focus on Jesus, and remem...
