Conflicts Of Life.

In life there will always be conflicts. If it's coming from outside, you will stand and resist it, Satan knows that. So, he will use those close to you, in a very subtle way, where if you aren't sensitive in the spirit, you will fall for his manipulations.

I will use examples in the scriptures to illustrate my point;
Satan, used the serpent to get through to Eve; Eve, to Adam. The target has always been the head. But see the process, at which Satan accomplishes his aim.
Another example, is between Simon Peter and Jesus Christ: obviously Simon loves Jesus, likewise, Jesus love Simon. But in Matthew 16:13-19, after Jesus had asked about, what people think about His personality; and the disciples gave the public opinion and theirs; it was Simon, by the Spirit of God, that answered correctly. Yet, just a couple of verse later, Matthew 16:21-23 to be precise. After Jesus had told them about the next phase of His ministry; Satan snicked in on Simon, and began to rebuke Jesus, saying, "... Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee." verse 22. This sound reasonable, after hearing about what the next phase of Jesus's ministry holds. You'd think Peter words were words of compassion(he may be sincere); but they were Satan empowered words, trying to halt the next phase. Jesus knowing it roots, rebuked Satan out of Simon Peter. My question is, what about if Jesus had kept quiet because He didn't want to hurt Peter's feeling? A lot could've gone wrong.
We saw it in Adam and the fall. Adam could've questioned Eve and rebuked her, but he didn't. Probably, he didn't want to hurt her feeling.
We shouldn't be led by feelings, but by the Spirit of God. It's the subtle way Satan attack believers, he comes through the people we love, and because we don't want to hurt them, we give in to their demands; unknowingly, give in to the will of the enemy in the process. You see how Adam's error led to the suffering of humanity today. Those little mistakes, can put generations in bondage. Be Spirit led. Don't be afraid of conflict.

Jesus is Lord!

Press In

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly.... – Colossians 3:16 Things in this old world aren't getting any better, and in recent times, the Holy Spirit has been speaking an urgent message to my heart. He's been saying, Press in. Draw in to a more intimate relationship with your heavenly Father. If you don't, you won't make it. If you do, you will see more glorious outpourings of God than you can imagine. That message isn't just for me. It's also for you—and for every other believer on the earth today. We are in the last of the last days of this age. Jesus is coming soon. It's an exciting time, but it's also a dangerous time. Those who don't do what the Spirit says, who don't press in to the Lord, are going to go from disaster to disaster. But those who do will defeat the disasters and turn them into glory, in Jesus' Name! Your first step in drawing closer to God is to realize that you know God first in His Word. Time spent meditating i...

Money truce.

People make reference that "The Bible says money is the root of all  evil...." The Bible didn't say that at all. The Bible says, "For the LOVE of MONEY is the root of all evil" (1Tim.6:10). You could be guilty of that sin and not have a dime. It's not wrong to have money; it's wrong for money to have you. #prosperityreality

Extremely Blessed!

A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it: whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth. – Proverbs 17:8 If I could give you a gift this Christmas, the Word is what I'd give you. I'd rather give it to you than a check for a million dollars. Because you can run through a million dollars real quick, but the truth of God's Word never quits—and it will get you out of situations a million dollars can't get you out of. Ken and I are just ordinary people. But when we latched on to God's Word, we latched on to something out of the ordinary, something that changed our lives. Every area of our lives. Nothing that's happened to us has happened because of us. It's happened because of God's Word. In fact, I don't even have to know you to promise you this: If you'll give God's Word your full attention—and not be afraid of His will for your life—you're going to be happier and more prosperous than anything you could ever dream up. O...
