The Devil Wants My Head On A Stake

-

 When one denies the existence of the devil claiming he's only in our mind, then he's going to be dancing with joy in the leaves.  i need to turn around and remember my past.  That's a great method to measure what God has done for me.  Making the past vivid makes it easier to present my testimony.  i keep rededicating myself.  i will never disregard the past where i've already walked through.  i suffer according to the power of God and that enables me to be strong in the middle of the fire.  i am free in my own conscience because Christ fulfilled His mission.


The devil wants my head on a stake!  Yet my days of being worn down are fewer and fewer.  Jesus Christ descended into hell as a triumphant King to proclaim His victory over sin, death, and the devil to the saints who had died before Him. He breaks down the door of hell and unbinds the prisoner and leads the just to heaven.  He wants a personal relationship with me, and He wants to see progress in me to show His investment was not in vain.

YAH, help me to stay away, stray away from the satanic forces of false religions.  i have already slipped recently and for that i confess and know that You forgive me, yet i am sorry for my transgression.  You know me better than i do and You know that i will falter again, no matter how hard a human being like me tries.  Help me to discern the working miracles of devilish spirits.  With Your help i shall not be deceived and dazzled.  Remind me that i should never put my faith in miracles or any other experience that seems so significant.  Keep me away from the evil enemy who can transform himself an angel of light.   

In Jesus' name.  Amen

 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...
