Hold onto Faith










Verse: "We don't fight against the people on this earth, but against the powers, principalities and against the rulers of darkness in the spiritual realm" - Ephesians 6:12

Message:
Many people blame each other for tragedies that have happened to them or their relatives. But we have only one adversary: Satan and his agents. Why? Let scripture answer that:
"And the god of this world (Satan) has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God." - 2 Corinthians 4:4

But we are not of the world, but are in it to save those who are lost:
" The world would love you if you belonged to it; but you don’t—for I chose you to come out of the world, and so it hates you." - John 15:19

Most people have different excuses for why we should be of the world instead of Jesus. Here are a few with biblical answers:
1. I get laughed at. And my friend left me.
Jesus NEVER said that people of the world would like you! Remember Satan owns the world (2  Corinthians 4:4) and Satan opposes God. So the people of the world (a.k.a the unbelievers) will to! But there will be Christians that you can to and discuss the faith with.

Excuse 2a: It's hard. There are too many obstacles

Jesus NEVER said that there wouldn't be temptations. He said they will come, but we will overcome!

Excuse 2b: But sometimes it doesn't look like there's a way out of my temptation.

When things do look like that, know all the more to keep hold onto your faith. Why? Because faith is one of the most powerful weapon against Satan, who send temptation. [To send your question, DM me (for Instagram, Twitter) or send an email (for Google+ or Facebook.) ]
Our faith can always get stronger. Jesus said so:
"Because of your little faith,”Jesus told them. “For if you had faith even as small as a tiny mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, ‘Move!’ and it would go far away. Nothing would be impossible." - Matthew 17:20 TLB
 We should:

PRAY - Prayer can be both commanding and askful - ask with God's will in mind
READ THE BIBLE WITH GOD's GUIDANCE - the ordinary letters in the bible, cannot save you. The Holy Spirit quickens and gives you understanding of the word - just ask
FIND A LIVING CHURCH

Prayer/Confession: I am an overcomer. I can do all things through Him that dwells and lives in me! No temptation is too hard for God - who lives in me. My God lives and I am born of the incorruptible seed which is the  word of God

STOP HOLDING ONTO FLESH!

“He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.” John 14:21 KJV http://bible.com/1/jhn.14.21.kjv We can see from this verse that a true follower of Jesus obeys his commands. But why do we find it difficult to follow Jesus? It’s because we are still holding onto flesh. We don’t want to let go, we think we can be both of God and of the flesh. But for you to work with God, the flesh must be dead. The flesh is your mind, emotions and your will. I repeat, God cannot work with you if the flesh is still alive. We cannot still hold on to the flesh. We are still sitting on the fence, not going in or out. Jesus said: “So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.” Revelation 3:16 KJV http://bible.com/1/rev.3.16.kjv Let’s stop holding onto the flesh!

Put on the armour! The Armour! The Armour! The Armour of God!

' Order the buckler and shield, and draw near to battle! Harness the horses, and mount up you horsemen! Stand forth with your helmets , polish the spears, put on the armour!  - Jeremiah 46: 3-4 This verse talk about a battle. Not a battle of the physical (the seen) but a battle of the spiritual (the unseen). We need to stand up in the faith! We must defend ourselves from the enemy! "Be clear-minded and alert. Your opponent, the devil, is prowling around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour." - 1 Peter 5:8. What do we need to do to shield us from the enemy? How do we stop "the roaring lion"  from attacking us? Here's the good news! God has given us an armour! The Armour of God (or AOG for short) in Ephesians 6:14-17 talks about this armour what we should wear, do and understand! " Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readine...

The Godly Godliness

1 Timothy 4:7 -  7  Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives’ tales;  rather, train yourself to be godly.  The godliness Paul is talking about here means piety to God, a revered holiness. What do I mean? Well, on what we do we should have a holiness for him. Our clothing, people should be able to say 'this is a real Christian'. Our behaviour should also have a holiness. A fear of God. As the Bible says, the fear of God gives life. This holiness is about the things you do, how you respond to God and to the things of God. Our character influences the way we live and what we do-it's the way people determine who you are, for it is always the inner man the speaks out. They are books and magazines you shouldn't read, things you shouldn't watch and games you shouldn't play. The excuse 'it's Christian' won't work this time! Watch with your children - make sure you are sure of what they watch. Never forget who you are in Christ: His own, o...
