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!

Humble Is Best!

Direct my footsteps according to your Word; let no sin rule over me. Psalm 119:133  |  NIV   We need to let God's Word rule our lives, directing our footsteps on our journey through life. God is our Director leading us-even of the path LOOKS right, it doesn't mean it IS right. God knows best so we shouldn't be no-it-alls. Humble your self!

Why remain pure? Learn about pureness in this amazing devotional....

Key = Blue = Scripture  Red = Answers to questions  Green = Verses to read in your spare time. Black = Normal post Bold = Question  "Call unto Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know." - Jeremiah 33:3.  Many people either don't believe in God, or become atheists, partly because of this question: Why doesn't God answer some of my prayers?  Answer: This is because of your heart. Before you ask this question you must ask yourself, am I pure? Have I sinned by mistake and need forgiveness? Or are my thoughts starting to make my light darken? Ask yourself these questions and their surely will be an answer.  But why must I ask myself these questions?  " So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart" - 2 Timothy 2:22    If we are not thinking good thoughts or have sinned by mistake or not, we have sta...

Christ Died For Me! Romans 5:8

"But God shows His love for us on that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us" - Romans 5:8 Sin. God. Not friends. God tells us to love one another, but we only have one enemy. Satan. The person who wants to wipe out mankind forever. One of his main servants is Sin. Something that cannot get is close to God. But how does he bait us in? How? Worldly pleasures. Money, Fame, Huge businesses, Children and everything you could ever wish for. Satan shall give you these things but they shall not last long. Only things from Jesus last eternal, if we follow Him. SEE Joel 2:32 Jesus paid a big price to make us clean and pure. He died. It was only a heavenly body that could rescue us. Why not the Angels? You may ask. You see, they needed to be in the form of a human, which could not be possible before Jesus died. So God sent his Son. He gave up his pride and joy. His most beloved son. SEE John 3:16. We do not have to pay that huge debt. We would have to DIE if Jesus had not d...
