TOPIC: Manipulative Suggestion (the devil’s way into your mind)

BIBLE TEXT: Ephesians 4vs27 – Neither give place to the devil. (KJV)

Don’t give the slanderous accuser, the devil, an opportunity to manipulate you!

Man is a spirit, with a soul that lives in a body. These are the complete make-up of every male and female oh earth today. And looking at the spirit, once you’re saved, you become part of Christ, while your soul which comprises of your mind, emotions, will and others responses need to be taught the word of God. It is your soul that Satan aims to manipulate, in order to control and destabilize your life. Looking at Mrs. Eve Adam, the first woman on earth, who yielded to the suggestions of the deceiver Satan and made her husband fall into sin and death.

Brethren, we have the authority and power in Christ Jesus to shut every strange voice of the devil suggesting deceits and shame disguised as a way out of trouble. The devil comes to steal, kill and destroy don’t give him place in your mind and heart. Shut him out; if he comes ten times rebuke him ten times and at each rebuke, he will flee…… James 4vs7. So many believers are falling into the lures of Satan’s manipulative way by giving thought to his voice. As a child of God, you should yield to the Holy Ghost and shun the voice of the devil always.

Philippians 4vs8 – when a thought, idea or insight drops in you, run it through this system; is TRUE, HONEST, JUST, PURE, LOVELY, OF A GOOD REPORT, is there any VIRTUE, is there any PRAISE? If it does then it’s from God and it doesn’t then it is Satan suggesting to you, don’t hesitate quickly rebuke him and bring all thoughts and imagination in obedience to Christ Jesus.

Prayer: LORD, I receive the grace to rebuke Satan’s manipulative suggestions.

Insight: Give no though to the devil’s words, his seeds are corrupt.

THINKING GOD’S WAY

JULY 9TH – CAPSULE 9 TOPIC: THINKING GOD’S WAY BIBLE TEXT: EPHESIANS 4VS23 – Be renewed in the spirit of your mind. How you process information and arrive at conclusions must always be subject to the will of God. Listen, “……….be made new in the attitude of your minds”. When you first start thinking Gods way, it will feel strange to you. It may even feel like a “put-on”. But it’s not. It works like this: you have to (a). Practice being nice until you automatically become nice. (b). Practice going to church on Sunday, until going anywhere else seems strange to you. (c). Practice giving to God until it be comes as natural to you as shopping at the mall. (d). Practice speaking the truth until even the smallest lie tastes bad in your mouth. (e). Practice speaking kindness until every cynical, negative word is purged from your vocabulary. Its all a matter of practice! But you ask, “ isn’t that hypocritical – feeling one way and speaking an...

IT RUBS OFF

AUGUST 9th - CAPSULE 9 TOPIC: IT RUBS OFF BIBLE TEXT: Exodus 34 vs. 29 – His face glowed from being in the presence of God. You can only talk convincingly about the God you know, the one you’ve spent time with. Any other God belongs in a theology book, and you will have a hard time selling Him. When Moses came down from the mountain, his face shone. He had been in God’s presence, and when you’ve been there it shows in the way you look, the way you walk and talk, the way you treat your family, the way you spend your money and the way you respond to hurting people. It rubs off! Paul Cain says “most of us are as close to God as we want to be”. Think about it “Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you” (James 4 vs. 8). How could you possibly be the same when you’ve been with Him? He transforms everything He touches. Listen – He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty” (Psalm 91 vs. 1). He didn’t say “visit” or...

THE FIRST WITNESSES

Date - December 22nd, 2021 Topic - THE FIRST WITNESSES Bible Text - When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. - Luke 2:17-18 As anyone who has ever been part of a living nativity can tell you, the shepherds played an important role in the Christmas story. Angels announced Jesus’ birth to them. Since angels only do God’s bidding, it’s safe to say God wanted the shepherds involved. Naturally the shepherds were overwhelmed and frightened at first. But the angels calmed their fears. They headed off to Bethlehem, as the angels directed, unsure of exactly why they had been summoned by God. They had no gifts to give the baby or the young couple. They really had nothing to offer at all. Yet they went to see all that the angels had told them about. As a result, the shepherds were the only witnesses, besides Mary and Joseph, to Jesus’ first hours on ea...
