THE 3C'S OF THE ENEMY PART 3: CONFLICT

Last time we talked about Chaos. Satan wants to introduce chaos into your life. Once you start looking for answers, he wants to offer you a solution. A solution designed to cause you to have more serious problems, pain and suffering. Seek the kingdom of God and his righteousness for your solution to your problems. God wants the best for you. Today we are going to look at the second of the 3CS: Conflict.

According to the dictionary, conflict means a serious disagreement of argument typically an extended one. An incompatibility between 2 or more opinions, principles or interest. God’s principles and interest is the complete opposite of Satan’s. Thus, this is where the disagreements come in. What God wants you to do and Satan wants you to do is different. What God says is the absolute truth. What Satan says is an absolute lie. Last time in my blog about chaos Satan asked Eve, “Did God say this?” Satan is introducing conflict between what God said and what Satan wants you to believe. He wants to create a conflict between you and God. He will ask you questions and remind you of the current state that you’re in. He’ll remind you about your past history. He’ll remind you about trouble in your marriage, finances, family to name a few. He’ll ask you “Well if God loves you, why don’t he do something. Why would he want you to suffer?  I thought you said that you’re blessed?” He’ll even quote you bible verses to try and create conflict. “If it says this in the bible, why isn’t it happening to you?” Please remember who the enemy is, his tactics and methods. He wants to distract you so that you’re not staying connected to God.  Whatever type of weakness you have in your life, that’s where Satan wants to attack. For example if you’re suffering from an illness, Satan will attack at this point. “Well God heals people so he MIGHT heal you if he feels like it.” “It sure is taking an awful long time for God to heal you.” “Why don’t you try what I have instead?”  “Even if he heals you, things won’t be the same.”  Satan will continue to try and attack until you do something about it. Let’s look at the God u said it verse of the day.

In James 4:7 (NIV) it states, Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. This verse says it all. You need to submit yourselves to God. Don’t listen or take part in the conflict Satan is trying to cause.  Resist Satan and he will see that he’s wasting his time with you. Satan would be better off going to somebody else. You must keep Satan out of your life as much as possible. Keep your focus and attention on God. There’s no conflict with him when it comes to the truth and what’s best for your life. Satan is a liar.  Next time we’ll talk about the last of the 3CS’ confusion. Until then, may God continue to bless you and keep you.

THE 3CS’ OF THE ENEMY: PART 2 CHAOS

Last time we talked about the 3CS’. The devil wants to cause Chaos, Conflict and Confusion in your life. He wants you to be unstable, stressed out, lost and defeated. He wants to pull you and keep you away from God. We will stand and not let this happen. Today we are going to talk about the first C Chaos.

According to dictionary Chaos means complete disorder and confusion. Satan wants you to be in this state. He knows when you’re in this state; you may become weak and vulnerable to manipulation. He wants to attack you when you’re weak. He knows you’re going to seek a solution to your chaos. Satan wants to be your solution to your problem. However, what he wants to do is cause bigger problems for you. The problems are more harmful and difficult than the one you’re in now. You’re trading problems for problems. Remember he’s a liar. He’ll introduce so called solutions to your problems. “It’s okay to fool with this man or woman even though they’re married.” “You deserve to be happy and satisfied.” “You’re confused on whether you still want to be married.” ” Your marriage is in disorder.” ”Why should you suffer and be unhappy.” ” No one will know. “ ”It’s okay to do these drugs.”” Your stressed out and confused.”” This will help you relax and think clearer.” Don’t fall for these tricks and lies. Satan wants to cause you harm and pain. Let’s look at the God U Said it verse of the today.

In Gensis 3: 1 it states “Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?” The serpent in this verse is Satan. God himself instructed Adam on what to do. Adam told Eve what God. However, Satan ask the question to Eve “Did God really say “You must not eat from any tree in the garden” Satan was introducing chaos into Eve’s life.  Remember Chaos means complete disorder and confusion.  Eve let Satan know that she was confused and not sure about what was told you. This is one of the tactics Satan uses to create chaos. He’ll ask you a question about what God said. He will see if you’re sure about what God said. How there’s one thing you know before Satan tries to talk to you. It’s impossible for him to tell the truth about anything. Even before he starts speaking he’s going to tell a lie. He is going to try to twist and put his spin on the truth. If he is lying to you that means God is telling you the truth. Satan uses chaos to get you disorganized and confused. Once this happens, you’re more vulnerable towards his attacks and tactics. Read and listen to what God tells you. He loves you and wants what’s best for you. Satan wants what’s best for him by using you. Don’t let him introduce Chaos into your life. Ask God for order and clarity on what he wants you to do. Next time we’ll talk about the next C conflict. Until then, may God continue to bless you and keep you.

THE 3CS' OF THE ENEMY INTRODUCTION: PART 1

I’m going to introduce to you some of the tactics Satan uses to try and steal, kill and destroy your life. You have to realize that Satan is your enemy. He wants you to follow him and obey him to your death. Satan will take any type of death. There are people right now who are literally walking around dead.  He wants death in your finances, marriage, relationship, health, sanity to name a few. He doesn’t want you to have any kind of peace, righteousness or order with God. He wants you to THINK that you have peace righteousness and order by following him. He’s deceptive, evil and a liar. Today we’ll talk about what the enemy wants in your life.

What the enemy wants in your life is the 3CS’. The 3CS’are Chaos, Conflict, and Confusion. He wants you to be in these states of mind. If you’re focused on these, you will have a difficult time focusing on God. Satan will use these tactics to wear you down and out. Satan usually won’t strike you with one fatal blow. Satan loves to see us suffer, hurt and defeated. He wants to break us down slowly. You many not notice anything at first. However, as time goes by, it becomes more obvious and visible that something is wrong. You’re doing the wrong things in search of the answers to your needs, desires and problems. For example doing drugs will help you relieve stress. Cheating on your spouse will help you with your loneliness. Stealing money will help you with your financial situation. What’s really happening is slowly he’s pulling you into his trap. The next thing you know you’re in a situation that you don’t want to be in. you ask yourself, “How did I end up here?” “What happened?” “What was I thinking?” When you ask yourself these questions, chances are Satan had done his job putting you in a situation without you being aware of it. Let’s look at the God U Said It verse of the day.

In John 8:44 NIV it states: “You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.” Satan is liar plain and simple. He will say anything to trap you. “It’s okay”, “It’s alright”, “No one will know”, “You deserve this don’t you?,” “No one will get hurt.” You have to be alert and diligent. Recognize what Satan is trying to do by studying what God said in his holy word. Keep Satan away and out of your life. God wants order, truth, clarity and peace in your life. Go to God in prayer and ask for help. Next time we are going to break down the 3CS’ and continue to destroy the works of Satan with knowledge and power. Until next time may God bless you and keep you.

POWER THROUGH PAIN, PART 2

Last time we began talking about power through pain. You’re going to need God to get you through the pain. You will be on God’s timetable. He knows you’re suffering. However, you may be wondering why it has to be you. You want the pain to stop. You have enough on your plate. I understand because I’m there with you. We will continue to power through pain.  Today we are going to talk about what to keep in mind as you power through pain.

The first thing you need to keep in mind is that God is with you. In Matthew 1:23 NIV it states; “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”).  Jesus is with us right now. You are not alone. It may feel like it but you are not. The second thing you need to keep in mind is that this pain will pass and joy will come. In Psalm 126 NIV it states: “Those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy.” God is with you through your circumstances and situations: even if you caused them upon yourself.  There may be tears flowing from your eyes and dropping down on your field of life. Your joy is being rooted under your field. You may not be able to see anything taking root, but when it sprouts and grows you’re going to reap joy. The third thing you need to keep in mind is that God doesn’t operate like we do. In Isaiah 55:8 NIV it states:  “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the LORD. You may still not understand why you’re going through this. The answer may come later on. As difficult as it may be, God is still under control. The fourth thing you need to keep in mind is that what you’re going through may pay benefits later on. I know some of you don’t feel like hearing “This is for your own good.” Also you don’t feel like hearing “No pain, No gain.” To be honest you are probably saying the hell with that. You may be angry and upset because everything was going smooth until this came up. Everything was perfect until this happen. You may not have brought any of this upon yourself. God sees and knows beyond what we can comprehend and understand. 1 Corinthians 2:11 NIV it states: “For who knows a person’s thoughts except their own spirit within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.”  He wouldn’t be putting us through this unless he has our well-being in mind. I know this is difficult to read. Trust me; it’s difficult for me to write. Sometimes the medicine we have to take doesn’t taste good. Let’s go to the God You Said It verse of today.

In Deuteronomy 31:8 NIV it states: The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” The fifth thing you need to keep in mind is this verse. This is a difficult process we have to go through. There will be some good days and bad days. You feel like your emotionally being is stretch beyond your limits. I have been there. However, I would not be the person I am today if I haven’t gone through this. I pray and hope that you keep God with you through this. Don’t be afraid and don’t get discouraged. He will never leave you nor forsake you. Make sure no matter how hard and painful it gets, don’t leave God. You can power through pain.  Until next time may God bless you and keep you.

POWER THROUGH PAIN, PART 1

Last time we ended the series for now on lust. I hope it will bless you and keep you during these lustful times. Since that time, a highly ranked military official had to resign because of his lustful acts. In addition, there may be more people involved. The man who was the puppeteer for Elmo off of the children show Sesame Street resigned because of alleged lustful acts. I can’t stress this enough: LUST DESTORYS. It can cause someone to endure extreme suffering and pain. There are some people in pain right now. They may be a victim of a lustful act. They may be a person who lost their house. This person may have lost their job. They could have marriage problems. There could be thousands of reason why they are in pain. Today we are going to start talking about powering through pain.

I know that some of you right now are in pain. Whatever the reason no matter what people say it’s there. You get out of bed with it. You go through the day with it. Finally you lie down to go to sleep with it. It causes you to be depressed, unhappy, angry and lost. You go to sleep crying. Tears start to form in your eyes whenever you start thinking about it. It seems no one cares. You start to miss work. You don’t want to be around anybody. You can’t seem to enjoy life itself. All you want is for the pain to stop. You just want it to stop. It …………………………………………….hurts so bad.  You’re frustrated and tired. You’re asking how much longer do I have to go through this? Let me tell you something right now. No matter how long it takes, you will get through this pain. How do I know? You’re going to get through with power.

Where is this power? It’s through our lord and a savior.  God is ready and able to help you. He gives you the power to go through this pain. In Psalm 68:35 NIV version it states “You, God, are awesome in your sanctuary; the God of Israel gives power and strength to his people. Praise be to God!” You know what the good thing about it is? You have that same power too. You are part of God’s people.  You have access to this power through God. You can power through pain. In Deuteronomy 4:31 NIV version it states “For the LORD your God is a merciful God; he will not abandon or destroy you or forget the covenant with your ancestors, which he confirmed to them by oath.” God hasn’t forgotten about you nor abandon you.  Let’s look at the God U Said It verse of the day.

In John 16:33 NIV it states “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” You are going to go through some trouble in your life. It’s going to be uncomfortable and painful. The people you use to call won’t pick up the phone or call you back. Your tactics and skills won’t get you through. You are going to need God to get you through. You’re going to need his power. You may need to seek counseling or someone who is a person of God to help you. Your battery that’s inside of you is either running low or dead. You need to charge yourself with God providing you the power. When you have a problem or faced with a situation go to him. Pray to him in your language. He knows them all. Cry out to him. Let your control go and cry if you want. Lose yourself in him. He’s always there twenty four hours a day seven days a week. He’s never too busy. He doesn’t get tired of you. He will answer you. Leave your problems and cares to him. You will have peace through him.  WARNING:  He may not answer or solve your problem the way you want him to. Next time we’ll talk about what you need to keep in mind through your pain. Until then, may God continue to bless you and keep you.

LUST, IT'S ALL ABOUT HOW YOU USE THE LETTERS, PART 6

Last time we talked about moving up. After a lust fire, you have to deal with the aftermath. Look up toward God for direction, strength, support and healing. In addition, surround yourself with family and friends who will speak positive things into your spirit. Today, we are going to conclude this particular series of lust.

The sentence has come in on Jerry Sandusky. He got 30 to 60 years in prison. He will now die in prison. This is the result of a lust fire that got out of control. It started as a spark and turned into an inferno. Remember in Job 31:12 NLT. “It’s is a fire that burns all the way to hell. It would wipe out everything I own.”  I know someone at work last week got fired because of lustful acts and content. He was here at the job for 16 years. However, because he let the fire of lust get out of control, it cost him his job. There are hundreds of people in jail, prison or dealing with legal problems because of some form of lust. Keep in mind, my series has been on sexual lust. You can have lust for power, money, drugs, alcohol and control among other types.  Saints, LUST DESTORYS. Lust is the works of satan.

There are some of you right now who are committing lustful acts. It started out being innocent; however satan has corrupted this relationship. You’re having lustful conversations and engaging in lustful behavior. You’re going out to eat, movies or any other social event.  You must remember that satan is a liar and deceptive. You may get the feeling deep down inside that this is wrong. However, you continue with this type of behavior. You may be doing it behind his or her back. You may have told your spouse about it and said you won’t do it anymore. Yet, you still continue to do it. You are literally playing with fire. Sooner or later someone is going to get burnt. Someone is going to get hurt.  Somebody is going to suffer.  It may not be right away, but I can guarantee you that it will come.

Here’s the main problem when you keep this type of lust in your life. It gets into your heart and mind and you start to serve it. You start getting more involved with the other person physically, mentally and emotionally. You start thinking about the person you’re in lust with more than the one you’re in love with.  It will start to affect your feelings, behavior and actions. Your spirits starts to become one. If you’re married, you’ll be one with your spouse and one with the other person you are involved with. 1st Corinthians 6:16 NIV it states “Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, “The two will become one flesh.”  You will never be satisfied with both. Your spouse won’t be satisfied and the person your involved with won’t be satisfied. This is exactly what satan wants: conflict, chaos and confusion. The results will be damage, devastation and destruction. Lust never satisfies it only consumes.

It may feel right. This person has more money, more stable, good looking etc…. They understand me better than my spouse does. You better beware and watch out. This is satan at work. If you’re involved in a lustful relationship and you feel you are getting away with something you’re not. You don’t get away with anything when it comes to God. God is not keeping this relationship together with you. You and satan are keeping it together. This is who you’re serving when you allow lust to control you.  Despite of all this, you have the power through God to overcome this. You can stop this lustful act before it’s too late.  You can recover from this.  Let’s now go to the God U Said Verse of the day.

In Matthew 5: 27 and 28 NIV it states “You have heard that it was said, You shall not commit adultery.  But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” This is why lust is so dangerous and something that you can’t play with. Most of us have committed adultery according to this statement by Jesus. According to this, you don’t commit adultery simply by just sleeping with someone else.  Just by looking at someone lustfully, you commit adultery in your heart. This is why you have to keep lust out of your heart. You have to ask God for forgiveness and move on. You can’t give lust life by letting it live in your mind and your heart. Here’s your phrase of today with lust spelled backwards.

T-They

S-Suffer

 

U-U

L-Lose

 

Remember, they will suffer because of your lust and you are going to lose something. Please stop before it’s too late. You have the power to stop lust from taking control. The problem is that we have is that we don’t know about our power and potential. Well, you are getting ready to find learn about that. Next time we are going to flick on the power and potential in your life. Until then may God bless you and keep you.

LUST, IT'S ALL ABOUT HOW YOU USE THE LETTERS, PART 5

Last time we talked about the aftermath of lust. You’re looking at your life and asking what now?  It’s time to talk with God about your recovery plan. In Jeremiah 29:11 NIV it states “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” This plan still exists. Follow God’s plan he has for you and he will deliver. Today we are going to talk about the direction you should be moving.

There’s only one direction that you should be going. The direction is up. Please hear me in the spirit. You should be concentrating on going up. Move up to a new level and relationship with God. By doing this, he will give you directions on which way to go. When you experienced moving up with God, you can’t help but to succeed. Find out what it means to move up with God. I will provide you with some insight from my spirit. God is a “He is” and a “He has” God. What do I mean? Grab hold of this below

All of this and more you can have access to if you move up to God. Let’s go to the God U Said it Verse of today.

In Philippians 4:19 NIV it states, “And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.” Good God almighty, if you could look up through your tears and pain you’ll see and receive it He will meet your needs. Do you need something on the list above? Make your own list of needs. You can move up in a positive direction. A direction to prosperity, increase, peace and provisions. You may have some missteps. You may slip and move backwards. However, get back on track and continue to move up. God is with you on your journey. If you get too tired, God will pick you up into his arms. I have tears in my eyes because I know what he can do. You’re never out of his reach. You’re never too low for him. You’re never too far gone to him. You’re never too late for him. You’re never too bad for him. He is and He has!!!! Say today to yourself that you’re going up. I’m not staying of this floor anymore. Get on the elevator of life, press the G button for God and the elevator will go up.  Get off on that floor of your life and God will be waiting on you. Next time if God is willing we will end this series by reviewing and emphasis the facts about lust. Until next time, May God Continue to bless you and keep you.
