Do not ASSIST the DEVIL!

“If someone thinks he is religious yet does not bridle his tongue, and so deceives his heart, his religion is futile.”
James 1:26 NET

Many of us wonder where satan gets his power from. After all, Jesus has all power in Heaven, on earth, and under the earth. That’s what the Bible tells me: “Then Jesus came up and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.”
Matthew 28:18 NET
http://bible.com/107/mat.28.18.net

In verse 26 of James chapter 1, we can see that our tongues are the issue. This is where satan gets his power from. Which is why he encourages negative talk. Maybe your legs are tired, and you say “My legs are killing me”. Now satan can use your own words against you. So when you start having leg ulcer don’t blame the devil, but your mouth. We also say things like, “If I tell my boss, he’ll kill me!”. He certainly will. And it’s your mouth’s fault. You’ve now given satan permission to use your boss to kill you. Watch your tongue - carefully!

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!

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...

What makes faith work? Learn MORE about faith in this devotional...

"That according to the riches of His glory, He may grant you to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith..." - Ephesians 3:16-17 KJV Okay. I wanted to talk a little bit more on faith. When Paul writes 'dwell in your hearts through faith' what does it mean? This means that we have to show our confidence and belief in Christ, before He comes into our hearts. He knows when we want to trick Him or not. So don't bother being cunning! Because wisdom comes from the Lord! So, if our human efforts cannot make faith to work, what can? (Zechariah 4:6) Our confidence and belief in Jesus! We just have to say, "Jesus, take care of this for me. I don't want to any more. I can't do it by my own power." Acknowledging that you can't do it alone, gives you the first step forward. Then comes the hard bit. When I mean hard, I mean HARD. Because most people people fall away aft...
