We need to confront the lies of Satan with the truth of God’s Word. In Ephesians 6:14, Paul said, “Stand firm therefore, having girded your loins with truth.” In Paul’s day, if a Roman soldier wore a free-flowing tunic into battle, the enemy could grab hold of it and gain an advantage. So the soldier would tuck his tunic into his belt. In the same way, if you have all these what-ifs and if-onlys floating freely in your mind, Satan is going to seize hold of them and gain an advantage in your life. So confront your fears with truth by dealing decisively with whatever is causing anxiety in your life.
I am convinced that to be filled with the Spirit is not an option, but a necessity. It is indispensable for the abundant life and for fruitful service.
We must come to good works by faith, and not to faith by good works.
Satan is the embodiment of evil, so much so that he comes to us as an angel of light and makes wrong seem right, wickedness seem righteous, and evil seem good. He places a veil over our eyes, whispers soothing words into our deepest depravities, and makes a lie sound like the greatest version of our own personal truth.
Putting Christ first in your life means transforming your actions, attitudes, and affections to those of Jesus Christ
God’s purposes always have God’s provision.
“Anger, like fire, finally dies out–after leaving a path of destruction.”
Learn to ignore petty disagreements. Resolve disagreements with others immediately. Ask forgiveness from those you offend with your anger.
Jesus “I Am” statements; I am the Bread of Life, the Light of the World, the Door, the Good Shepherd, the Resurrection and the Life, the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and the True Vine.
You may be wondering how you can accept yourself since you know how much you blow it and sin. The answer is this: if God accepts you, who are you to reject yourself?
