God's Words of Wisdom from the Bible for Friday 23 September 2011

"Greetings in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 23 September 2011"


Today's Bible Verse: Ephesians 6:12 "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places."


Several activities in the Bible may involve demons.  Sometimes they cause physical disease or mental suffering.  However, not all mental disorders are demonic in orgin.  Demons also tempt people into immoral practices.  They originate and propagate false doctrines taught by heretical religious groups (1 Timothy 4:1).  The Bible also teaches that some people were possessed by demons (Mark 1:23)  Although demons are committed to do evil, God will use them to accomplish His plan during the end age (Revelations 16:14).


Demons are also objects of worship in various occult practices forbidden by God.  These include divination (an illegitimate means of determining the will of God), necromancy (efforts to communicate with and interrogate the dead), magic (using formulas and incantations), sorcery (perhaps the non medical use of drugs), witchcraft, and astrology (Deuteronomy 18:10-12).


In the Book of Ephesians we are told that when the Ephesian Christians were "dabbling" in the occult repented, there was a great revival in that place.  No Christian can ever justify his or her participation in demonic activities.


As Christians our real battle is not against cultists, false religions, atheists, agnostics or pseudo-Christians, but with the demonic beings working through them. 


Today's Hymn: "Redeemed How I Love To Proclaim It"


Redeemed, and so happy in Jesus, no language my rapture can tell
I know that the light of His presence, with me doth continually dwell
Redeemed, redeemed, redeemed by the blood of the Lamb
Redeemed, redeemed, His child and forever I am


Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, as we dwell upon this earth and battle against our spiritual foe may be put on the whole armor of God.  May we put on the belt of truth, the breast plate of righteousness, our feet with the gospel of peace, the shield of faith to quench all the fiery darts of Satan and his demons, the helmet of salvation, and use the sword of the Spirit which is the word of God.  May we like a sponge soak up Your words, so that we can Hid Your Words, in our hearts and then when we are attacked by Satan, may we as Jesus say, "IT IS WRITTEN", and Satan will have to as He did with Thee, flee, because of our faith and trust in You.
                                                                                                                                             Amen


Today's Biblical Truth: "God helps those who SEEK HIS HELP."

Have a God Filled and Spirit Led Day.  Go in Peace and Serve the Lord our God 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".


"He will not allow your foot to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber." Psalm 121:3
