IF YOU PLAY WITH THE DEVIL,YOU WILL GET BURN

     The devils job is to disrupt your life,and he doesn’t care if you like it or not . However, People like to blame the Devil for everything that they did, that is wrong. But if you let him in,his job is to steal,kill,and destroy your joy,peace,and happiness,and he is very good at his job,so why blame him if the choice is yours.The most famous saying is, “The devil made me do it,” but once again people just like to blame someone else besides themselves. Yet we have the choice to do right or wrong, Deuteronomy 30:19 tell us that God gives us choices. The reason you can’t blame the devil is because God gives us the Bible to guide and instruct us; and in James 4:7-8 He tells us to submit to God, resist the devil and he will flee from us. Draw near to God and he will draw near to you. So if you give the devil room, shelter and board, or occupancy of course he is going to destroy and kill you because 1 Peter 5:8 tells us that he is like a roaring lion seeking someone to devour. So why did you allow or let him in? Ephesians 4:27 tells us not to give him any place. Therefore if you obey God’s word and instructions in the Bible you can’t go wrong. As 2Corinthians 10:5 tells us,to cast down imaginations and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God,and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.

          God wants us to put away lying, stealing and everything that is contrary to His word, His will, His plans and commandments. As Ephesians 4:25-32 give us a guideline of how God wants us to live as new, born again Christians; where the old things are passed away and everything is new and of God as we see in 2 Corinthians 5:17-18. We can’t be conformed to this world, but we can be transformed by the renewing of our mind as Romans 12:1-2 says.

          So Ephesians 4:25-32 is telling us not to grieve the Holy Spirit who we are sealed with until the day of redemption (Verse 30). Therefore, corrupt and evil speaking should not be part of the Christians lifestyle; we can’t entertain or allow it, which is why Psalm 1:1 says, “Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly.” God wants us to put away that old lifestyle as His child, with all malice. Just as how someone malice’s a person and does not speak to them, this is what we should do with anger and corrupt words. Ephesians 5:4 and Colossians 3:8 tell us to put away vulgar and obscene talk which supports our old lifestyle (1 Corinthians 6:9-11) which is not of God.

          As Christians our speech should be seasoned with grace so that those who hear it will want to taste and see that the Lord is good. As Ephesians 4:29 says, our words should be good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers. Let the beauty of Jesus be seen in us, along with all His wonderful compassion, love, purity and everything good.

         If you don’t know God or His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ of Nazareth, then go to the top of this blog, click on to the salvation page, then follow the instructions, it will be the greatest thing you ever do.

         All glory, honor, praise and thanks go to God for using me to deliver this message. I pray that He will give all who read this message the spiritual gifts necessary to comprehend and act upon His word. I exercise my power and authority in the name of Jesus to bind every tactic of the enemy that will try to stop, hinder, or prevent this word from reaching its intended people. I ask the Lord to loose the Holy Spirit and the Heavenly angels to secure this word so that it reaches its intended people, according to Matthew 16:19 and Luke 10:19 in the Omnipotent name of Jesus, Amen.

REDEEMED BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB

The devil can’t legally touch or harm you,if you have been redeemed by the blood of Jesus, the Lamb who takes away the sins of the world.

“Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;  But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:  Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,  Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.  Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:  Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever”.{1 Peter 1:18-23}

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
{ Romans 8:1-2}
LISTEN:
For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee” {Titus 2:11-15}.

“And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
{Revelation 12:11}

YOU HAVE NO EXCUSE

Romans 1:20-23.
For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.
LISTEN :
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
{Hebrews 9:27-28 }

This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was. But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me. Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
{2 Timothy 3:1-15 }

HIS DEATH

Jesus’s death was not accidental; nor by assassination, but by demonstration of God’s Love for us.
Neither was it suicidal,but sacrificial.
” Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.
{John 10:17-18 }

” For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil”. [John 3:16-19 ]

He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand. He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors {Isaiah 53:3‭-‬12 }

TRUE FAITH,BY PIONEERS. OF FAITH

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.  For by it the elders obtained a good report.  Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.  By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.  By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.  But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.  By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.  By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.  By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:  For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.  Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.  Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.  These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.  For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.  And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.  But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.  By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,  Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called:  Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.  By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.  By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff.  By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.  By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king’s commandment.  By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter;  Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;  Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.  By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.  Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.  By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.  By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days.  By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace.  And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets:  Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,  Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.  Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:  And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:  They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;  (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.  And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:  God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.
[Hebrews 11:1-40 ]

FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS

Friends with benefits is someone, who will move mountains for you,and give up anything and everything just for you.
Jesus is that kind of friend,who gives His life for you,intercedes on our behalf to God the Father,He never abandons us,and the most important thing is that our sins are forgiven because of Him. You can never,in your wildest imagination, asked for a better friend.
Listen:
It’s a honor, and privilege to have Jesus as a friend. Who loves at all times,as Proverbs 17:17 says,” A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity”.
The Truth Is:
” A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother, as Proverbs 18:24 says,and His Name is JESUS.

“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his Lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
{John 15:13-15 }

Who are you friends with ? Or better yet, who is your friend? Is God or Jesus your friend ?

And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
[James 2:23].

And the Lord spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle.(Exodus 33:11).

” Art not thou our God, who didst drive out the inhabitants of this land before thy people Israel, and gavest it to the seed of Abraham thy friend for ever? {2 Chronicles 20:7}.

” But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend”,[ Isaiah 41:8]

Have God ever spoken to you as a friend? Then you don’t have a relationship with Him. You can get started by going to the top of this blog,click on to the salvation page,and get started.

GOD HEARS THE RIGHTEOUS

The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry. The face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.
[Psalms 34:15-17, 19 ]

Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.{James 5:16 }

WALK WORTHILY

I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
[Ephesians 4:1-7 ]

” See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
[Ephesians 5:15-17 ]

GOD’S SUGGESTION, on how to walk:
” This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. But ye have not so learned Christ; If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another. Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: Neither give place to the devil”,[ Ephesians 4:17-27].

JUST BE THANKFUL

Thank you, Father, that your love and compassion for us is greater than any parent for a child. Thank you for your extraordinary tenderness and mercy. Thank you that you will not let me go. Thank you that now we can experience the full expression of your love in Christ Jesus and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit into our hearts. Thank you that nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Thank you that your love is a pillow on which to rest our weary heads. Thank you that you will not withhold anything that is good from us and that you continue to lavish us with you love even when we fail you. Thank you lord that your arms are always outstretched just waiting for us to surrender our lives unto you so that we can experience your unfailing love. Lord we just thank you for the finished work that was demonstrated by Jesus Christ on the cross and lord I just pray that we will never take your love for granted but each day we will just live in the fullness of joy in your presence.
Abba father I give you the praise, honour and glory in the name of Jesus Amen.

PRAY & PRAISE YOUR WAY OUT

Sometimes we go through trials and tribulations that seems,and feel like a lifetime. Yes we know that God hears our prayers. We know that He will deliver us. But every now and then we ask,how long do we have to wait.
But we aren’t the only ones,King David was faced with the same predicament before he became king, in Psalms 35:17-28 ,he asked:
” Lord, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling from the lions.  I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will praise thee among much people.  Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause. For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land. Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, and said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it.  This thou hast seen, O Lord : keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me. Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, even unto my cause, my God and my Lord. Judge me, O Lord my God, according to thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me. Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let them not say, We have swallowed him up. Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at mine hurt: let them be clothed with shame and dishonour that magnify themselves against me. Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the Lord be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant. And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness and of thy praise all the day long”.
David praised ,and pray his way through and out of his afflictions,and so should we.

DAVID’S SOLUTION
Pray and praise, ” I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul shall make her boast in the Lord : the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad. O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together. I sought the Lord , and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed. This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. O fear the Lord , ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him. The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing. Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord . What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good? Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it. The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry. The face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.
[Psalms 34:1-19].
TRY IT,it works.
