Don’t Let The Devil Fool You

Don’t Let The Devil Fool You

Isn’t it amazing to know that in a world that’s changing every day that God’s love for us remains the same?  His arms are always stretched out wide welcoming us to fellowship with Him, with that understanding don’t let the devil fool you.

Just as God’s love never changes neither does the devil’s hatred for God or His children ever change.  And because of that reason, we must be aware of his devices as the Bible refers to in 2cor. 2:11.

The enemy loves to make people feel like God doesn’t love them, He won’t answer their prayers, and that they are alone.  However, none of these things line up with the word of God.  If you’re ever tempted to believe such things quickly recognize that those thoughts are not from your loving Heavenly Father. Command those thoughts to leave in the name of Jesus and replace them with the omnipotent word of God.

Here are three powerful scriptures to stand on:

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16) KJV

And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear. (Isaiah 65:24)

Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness..  (Isaiah 41:10)

 

Reflections

  • The enemy is very deceptive.  How will you guard your heart against receiving his lies?
  • Name three things about God that you know to be true? In other words, nothing could ever make you change your mind about those things.
It is our goal to bring you anointed words and services that inspire, encourage, and foster a closer relationship with the Lord. We thank God for you and want you to know that you’re always welcome at The Angelic Pen, “Where the words of heaven flow from God’s Heart to your spirit.”  Kimberly Smith

7 Ways To Embrace Your Freedom

7 Ways To Embrace Your Freedom

The Bible is the most powerful book on earth. It is full of life-changing words that help us on our Christian journey. Therefore, I would like to discuss 7 Ways To Embrace Your Freedom.

One of the most prevalent scriptures in the Bible is found in John 8:36 which declares,  “If the Son, therefore, shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.” It is of utmost importance that we guard the freedom that Jesus Christ has given us.  Listed below are some ways to do that.

  1. Have a heart of gratitude, remembering that God has set you free from a difficult place in your life.

 

  1. Embrace the fact that old things have passed away and God is doing a new thing in you.

 

  1. Consider it an honor that God promoted you to a new place in Him.

 

  1. Resist the temptation to go back to the old familiar place. Submit those things to the Lord in prayer. God has bigger things in store for you!

 

  1. Realize that the Lord loves blessing His children and seeing them flourish.

 

  1. Make a commitment to follow the Lord knowing that He will always lead you in the right direction.

 

  1. Remember, God is always right there with you. You are never alone.

Reflections

  • Do you sense the Lord wants to take you higher in Him?
  • If so, will you make a commitment to follow His lead even if it causes you to leave your comfort zone?
  • Think about a time when you felt trapped in a situation and God set you free. What has been your greatest pleasure in experiencing this freedom?
It is our goal to bring you anointed words and services that inspire, encourage, and foster a closer relationship with the Lord.
