Even At My Worst I Am Better Than Satan at His Best

-

 If i just say words to see if it'll work, it won't.  If i mix faith with my words, then there will be creative power in my words.  Once i begin operating in this blessing, Satan cannot stop me.  Heavenly Father, i pray that Your Holy Spirit will help me to understand that  when i pray for those who are living from crisis to crises i know that we're all violating spiritual, natural, and emotional laws and are not doing what Your word says; yet we still believe in a miracle from You.  

I pray that You would speak this word into our hearts right now to encourage us that it doesn't have to be this way, that we don't have to stay this way, that we can tap into Your blessings and favor...the favor You have spoken to us through Your word.  Open our eyes to see all these wonderful things, all of these exceedingly great and precious promises that You have given us.  Thank You that we don't have to just barely get by, struggling all the time.  Thank You for showing us how to walk in Your blessings!

Satan is not my playmate!  God, thank You that You never turned away from me.  You never took the blessing back. I stop Your blessings through my own stupidity.  I've given Satan this place in my life.  I welcomed him in.  How dumb can I get and still breathe?  Thank You, God, for always loving me!

Ay, Satan!  I don't care what I've done.  Jesus is my Lord, and I refuse to have you dominate me.  You're not allowed.  Get behind me!

 As He taught them a shadow of the cross fell across the old testament and their "eyes were opened."  He was that ram at Abraham's alter.  He was that spotless Passover Lamb whose blood was shed to bring freedom from slavery and deliverance from death.  He was that scarlet thread that hung out Rahab's window.  The Shepherd King:  David spoke so much about Him in the Psalter.  He was Isaiah's suffering servant, the fourth man in the furnace with Shadrach, Meshash, and Abed-Nego.  And yet He will never vanish from my sight unless i allow it.  Jesus' purpose isn't to push Himself onto anyone.  As humans, as mortals, He wants us to come to Him.  That's probably the only Hunger He ever has!  Is for us to come to Him.  i was the other disciple walking along the road to Emmaus.  i've gone from the road to Damascus to the road to Emmaus.  i've been writing about what Christ has done for me. Praise goes to the Lord! ...

Having Seen the Lord on the Road

 1 Timothy:  Make sure no other doctrine is taught, no fables which cause dispute, where there is no godly edification. Timothy, prevent the spread of false teaching. Legalists cannot mix law and grace.  They engage in idle talk, having strayed with their meaningless babble.  The law is not made for the righteous person, but for the lawless, ungodly, unholy, and profane, something of which i was guilty for so long and even have the temptation to fall back into the pit from time to time.  i obtained God's mercy because i committed those wrongs in unbelief, or as a back-slider and as someone prone to worldly and fleshly desire and lust. Now i believe in Jesus Christ and only by His grace will i obtain everlasting life.  Grace by faith and trust in Him.  In Him alone.  If i were to be a young man's mentor, i would want to be a quiet encourager, a serene influence, i would want to interest him by saying as little meaningless babble as possible and lea...

When I Haven't Removed the Plank From My Own Eye

Heavenly Father, help me align myself to Your will.  Shall i take advantage of the free time and begin at the seminary?  Could i use this motel room as a sanctuary despite the distractions?  Please help me before idolatry decays my soul any further.  Don't let this defeating habit in my life rob me of my confidence in Your power to give me victory over sin making me hesitant to offer Christ as the answer to others controlled by sin.  Don't let this habit destroy my incentive to share my faith because of feeling like a hypocrite.  How could i witness to others when i haven't removed the plank from my own eye? --[Matthew 7: 1-5] Sin always results in death of some kind. It is worth the continual struggle to combat temptation.  The awful, never-ending process of combating temptation is God's means of maturing me and confirming me to the image of Christ.  To throw my hands up in defeat is to abandon the process and to miss out on life's most important...
