God's Words of Wisdom from the Bible for Sunday 12 June 2011To

"Greetings Everyone in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ"

Today's Bible Verse: Isaiah 14:12-14 "How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!  How you are cut down to the ground, you who weaken the nations!  For you have said in your heart: I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of congregation, on the farthest sides of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High."

These verses reveal the five vaunting "I Will" statements that revealed the twisted passion of satan the "creation" and his attempt to replace the Creator as Lord.  Originally created as one of God's highest angels, possessing all angelic attributes, and because of PRIDE, satan led angels in a rebellion against God.  He is described as the originator and chief practitioner of sin, that wicked one,a thief and destroyer, a deceiver, a murderer and liar, and the accuser of the brethren.  

The subtle nature of satan is reflected in the first temptation, and in his titles "angel of light", and him that "deceiveth the whole world.  The present day activities of satan include opposing the will and work of God, counterfeiting the work of God, and destroying all that is good.

We as Christians can overcome satan when we remember four basic principles: (1) Jesus is greater than satan and we must have respect for the enemy and his cunning ways .  In Jude 9 we read that even the archangel Michael did not confront satan except in the Name of the Lord. (2) a wise Christian will evaluate his or her life and avoid those situations where he or she is most likely to be tempted. (3) We should  resist the devil by submitting to God  and (4) We as Christians should be prepared by wearing the whole armor of God.

Today's Hymn: "There's Sunshine In My Soul"

There is sunshine in my soul today, More glorious and bright,
Than glows in any earthly sky, for Jesus is my Light
O there's sunshine, blessed sunshine, when the peaceful happy moments roll;
When Jesus shows his smiling face, there is sunshine in my soul

Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, We as Christians are living in a world where satan is loose and he is flinging those fiery darts and seeking to devour us.  Help us as Christians Holy Spirit  to put on and use the whole armor of God that we might resist the devil and he will flee from us.  How thankful we are for the Light of the world whom lives within us so that even on our dark and gloomy days lights, He lights our path for us and keeps us focused on him and the Cross of Calvary.
                                                                                                                                         Amen

Today's Biblical Truth: "A person becomes like light, a living picture of what God's Word teaches, by concentrating on the Light of His truth"

Have a God Filled and Spirit Led Day.  Go in Peace and Serve the Lord with Gladness.  Love God More Today and always remember that when you have a spiritual dilemma in your life and you yell out, "I CAN'T",  God Whispers to you, "BUT I CAN".

Your Sister in Christ,
