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...

In the world(unsaved) system, we work harder…and harder…and still fall behind. If we do find a way to get ahead, we pay a high price for it by sacrificing time in God’s WORD, our family relationships or our health. While the figures in our bankbooks tell us we’re getting richer, in reality we’re becoming poorer. That’s the way the world’s economic system works. One way or another, there’s always sorrow with it because it’s under the curse.  As believers, however, we are no longer under that curse! Jesus has redeemed us from it. We don’t have to earn a living with our sweat and toil. THE BLESSING makes us rich. Unlike the world, we aren’t BLESSED because we’re rich, we are rich because we’re BLESSED!. (kcm)#prosperityreality

SETTLED SOUL

  Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 John 1:2 The state of one's mind [ soul ] determines his/her place in destiny. In life people are forced to bow to pair pressure or any other kind of pressure when they don't have a stable mind, or let's say the person have identity issue.  When Satan tempted Christ Jesus on His way from the wilderness after forty days prayer and fasting, what was the first question he asked Him? "if thou be the Son of God" if Jesus had had identity issue, he would have fallen for temptation in the view to show off, as a result lost His place and purpose. Knowing fully well that God had said, "... Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased." Lk. 3:22. Before embarking on the wilderness expenditure.  When you know who you are in the Word of God and are established in it; you wouldn't bow to the pressure of the world, because you see things differently....
