God's Promises Sunday

Do Not Be Discouraged

Joshua 1:9, Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.

Among satan’s tools, one of his favorites is discouragement. He apparently believes that he can discourage even believers if he pushes hard enough.

John 16:23, These things I have spoken to you that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation, but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.

We have been told that satan knows the Bible front to back, inside out. What we must realize is we have the advantage over satan. We believe the word of God, he doesn’t.

satan thinks he is winning because so many people are with him, and more are coming to him every day. I believe the Lord God Almighty allows him to do what he does in order to fulfill prophecy. I think satan doesn’t even realize the big part he is playing.

1 Peter 5:7, Casting all your cares on Him because He cares for you.

When believers trust in almighty God. satan cannot fool them. We know the truth of the Word of God, so we can give all our cares to our Heavenly Father and have peace in our hearts.

It is like the Bible is a play and each of us has a part to play. We must follow the script to the final act. By reading the Bible, and believing, we are comfortable with the ending.

Psalm 31:24, be of good courage and He will strengthen your heart, all you who hope in the Lord.

If you really trust in God to do what He says, you will still have problems but the way you handle them will give you peace, because He is always with you and guiding you in the best way for you to go. Once you start to believe in your heart, your faith will grow. Believers still get attacked with the discouragement tool, but they will not give in to it. God bless you and your family.  Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

Lord Jesus Christ I am a sinner. I know you suffered and died on the cross and rose again to wash away my sins and to save me. I acknowledge my sins and I Repent of those sins and ask you to come into my heart as my personal savior. I believe and I receive the gift of Salvation. Thank you, Lord Jesus. Amen. 

Praise The Lord!

The News Is About satan’s So-Called Victories

Ephesians 2:2, and you He made alive those who were dead in trespasses and sins. In which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience.

If you are like most people, you follow the news on television, social media, and occasionally newspapers. You will find that the one thing that most of them agree on is to promote everything that is not good for the average person and to ignore anything that is positive.

Have you ever wondered why it is like that? The answer can be found in the Bible if you really want to know.

2 Timothy 3:1-4, but know this, that in the last days, perilous times will come. For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God.

Isaiah 5:20, woe to those who call evil good and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!

As you can see from what is going on now and getting worse, was all prophesied in the Word of God. satan is trying very hard to get believers to turn from God and follow him. satan believes he is winning the battle for hearts. What makes him think so?

2 Corinthians 4:3-4, But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. Whose minds the God of this age has blinded, who do not believe lest the light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God should shine on them. 

Take heart my friends. The Lord Jesus Christ died and rose again that through Him we can conquer satan. The Bible says so!

Hebrews 11:3, By faith we understand the worlds were framed by the word of God so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.

Psalm 34:7, the angel of the Lord encamps all around those who fear Him and delivers them.

We are not alone. Following the Lord Jesus Christ without doubting will cause us to eventually defeat satan through the Lord Jesus Christ, and live with our Heavenly Father for all eternity.  God Bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.
