Bible Verse of The Day – 12-6-14

Luke 4:33-34 (NKJV) 33 Now in the synagogue there was a man who had a spirit of an unclean demon. And he cried out with a loud voice, 34 saying, “Let us alone! What have we to do with You, Jesus of Nazareth? Did You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God!”

We live in a world that is tangible… natural. We base so much of what we do on what we see.

But, what we fail to understand so many times is that most of what we see happening in the natural is the result of unseen things in the spiritual realm.

Every second of every day, there are invisible battles being fought between good and evil, angels and demons.

And whether we choose to believe it or not, we are part of that ongoing struggle between darkness and light.

Demons feared Jesus. They trembled at His presence and begged Him to leave them alone.

They should do no less when they see us, the children of God. Jesus said that if we believed, we could do even greater things than He did.

John 14:12 (NKJV 12 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.

So it’s time for us to rise up! We need to use the armor and the weapons that God gave us and go to battle for the kingdom. We are not meant to sit idly by as evil pervades this world that we live in.

Weapons were intended to be offensive, not just for defense. So let’s start using them and pushing the kingdom of darkness back!

Pray. Rebuke darkness. Bind demonic powers. Loose freedom and light!

Rise up and conquer, in Jesus’ name!

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-12-14

Ephesians 6: 11 (NKJV) Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

It is not by our strength that we can stand against the wiles of the devil. We don’t have what it takes, and if we think we do then we will lose.

It will take having the whole whole armor of God to obtain victory to when we are battling.

A spiritual battle is draining, both emotionally and physically. From the time we wake up until the time we lay our head on our pillow, it is nonstop. It is exhausting to the human body, mind and soul!

It’s not easy and God knows this. That is why He tells us to put on the WHOLE armor, for it brings a great deal of protection!

What is God’s armor? Ephesians 6:14-18 (NKJV) 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints.

You may be going through a battle today and maybe you didn’t even know that’s what it was, but you’re realizing now it is an attack directly against you, your family, your job, your finances, your relationship with God, your relationship with your spouse, etc.

It’s not the time to get scared and run. Now is the time to get serious, focused and to put on the armor. It’s time to trust God’s answer for you and let Him help you through it. Have faith, pray and stay close to Him.

We are praying for you and believing you will come out victoriously! Giving God all the glory. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-26-14

Ephesians 6:12 (NKJV) For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

Are you a believer, a follower of Jesus Christ? Have you been washed by His blood? Have you put your faith in Him and the sacrifice He made for us on the cross?

If you answered “yes” to these questions, I want to tell you something. Some of you may already know this, but some of you may be surprised.

We are in a war.

I’m not talking about a war of guns or bombs. This is not a war of knives, spears, chains or any other kind of “natural” war. We are in a spiritual war.

Every single minute of every day there is a war being fought. We don’t see it in the natural. But it’s happening nonetheless. The spiritual world is one of constant battles. They are being waged and fought on so many fronts across the entire world.

And we are a part of that war, whether we realize it or not. Satan and his demons fight for our souls. They fight to tear down everything that God has done to secure our eternal future. They fight to destroy us, both physically and spiritually.

As followers of Christ, we are also soldiers. Or at least we should be. We have been enlisted to do battle with the enemy and keep him in check while we’re here on this earth.

So we need to take this war seriously. We need to understand it and we need to know what part we play in it and what God wants of us. We need to be good soldiers!

2 Timothy 2:4 (NKJV) No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier.

So ask God today what role He wants you to play in this war. What does He want you to do each day? Who can you pray for? Who can you encourage? What powers of darkness does He want you to rebuke and bind?

There are so many things we need to be busy doing as a soldier for Christ in God’s army.

We can’t take this lightly. It’s serious warfare.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-31-12

(Eph 6:11 NKJV)  Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

God has provided us with armor. This means that He expects us to face some tough battles.

It would be awesome if we could walk through life and not have to go through trials and battles, but that’s just not realistic. Because we MUST go through battles, God has given us everything we need to be able to stand against the things that the devil hurls at us.

We need to remember, though, that our armor won’t protect us if we don’t put it on!!

Well-used armor will have a tendency to be full of dents, scratches and other battle scars. This means it did its job in protecting the wearer.

Where is your armor today? Do you have it on, or did you forget? Is it stuffed in your closet behind a bunch of other unwanted stuff, or is it maybe even in your basement amongst other dusty items that are long-forgotten?

We need to pick it up, put it on and let God teach us how to use it!
