God tests the heart. He is always pleased with the integrity. He tests us and refines us like the silver. He knows the way that we take. When He tests us, we will have to come forth as gold.
This world cannot help us during the trials and temptations.
God will surely test us before He could bless us. If we overcome all the trials and temptations, then we will be commissioned for the mission.
The LORD JESUS CHRIST hung on the cross alone. It pleased the FATHER, for He was offered as the sin offering. He stamped death, hell, and Satan on that cruel cross.
He accomplished it in such a way that every knee bows to His Name and Hell trembles and fears.
The Lord Jesus Christ is at the door. He is not pleased with those who are lukewarm. He wants us to be zealous in doing His will sincerely and faithfully.
He is our All in All. He is waiting to dwell with us and dine with us.
Let’s invite Him home and into our hearts. And be spiritually transformed and committed to our calling.
Ants are small and not strong, yet they are exceedingly wise. They provide their food in summer. They neither have a chief nor a ruler, yet they are united. They work tirelessly and stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest.
Let’s not be slack in doing the will of the Lord. The Lord expects us to accomplish all the work that He has assigned to us.
“I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work” (John 9:4).
“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not” (Galatians 6:9).
“For the Word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart” ( Hebrew 4:12).
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God” (John 1:1,2).
“That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” ( Philippians 2:8,9,10).
The Word is Power, the Word is Life. The Word is God. Word became flesh and dwelt in this world. The Word is our All in All.
The Word of God will lead us and guide us. The verses of the scripture will strengthen us. It will move through the marrow ; it will raise the dead cells and make everything holy and perfect. The Word of God will keep us holy.
The possessed fear to touch the Word. It so happened during a deliverance ministry, I asked the possessed brother to hold the Bible; immediately the evil spirit in him spoke that his hands are unclean and not holy. Only those who are unholy and possessed will not touch the Word of God. People spend time reading all that are sinful and that which corrupts the mind. This allows a free passage for the Satan to dwell in their hearts.
Utter the Word and the devil will flee, speak the Word and the problems will flee, raise the Word and the sickness will flee, claim the Word and the hurdles and challenges will flee, the Word becomes alive and the Word performs miracles and the Word will get back to the Lord after the accomplishing the miracles: for the Word is alive.
The Word of God has to be read every day and meditated on. It nourishes us and strengthens us. Have a separate schedule to read and meditate on the Word. As you read and reread, meditate on the Word, the Word will transform you to be like the Word. Many of the anointed servants of God, even those who hear the voice of the Holy Spirit, are overconfident and neglect reading the scriptures. The devil will surely attack them because reading the scriptures is part of our Christian life. Neglecting that is a failure in one’s duty as a Christian.
The Word is the food for us. The Word of God provides spiritual sustenance and growth, and keeps us healthy and strong. The Word of God will have to be in our tongue, mind, spirit and in our soul. When you remember and recollect the scriptures you gain strength within and grow in faith.
God said, “feed My sheep, feed My lamb.” The lamb and the sheep expects the Word of the Lamb from the shepherd.
When I was doing my post graduation one night, I heard the sound of a cart, rattling sound of chains. I was too surprised as to how a cart entered the defence campus. It was 2:30 A.M. and sound was increasing steadily and all of a sudden I felt a huge arm pressing my chest . Pressing so hard that I couldn’t breathe, felt I would give up, not knowing what to do, immediately I cried out aloud, JESUS and and the evil left at once, and I ran to the next room. From that day I carry the Word of God with me wherever I go. The Word is with me always by my side even when I sleep. JESUS is the Name above all the names. Every knee shall bow and every tongue shall utter His Name: for HISNAME is POWER.
When You feel weak call out JESUS you will get immense strength. Yes, this is the truth.
Keep talking to God. Even if you don’t hear Him, you continue to talk to Him. He is listening. And one fine day, you will hear His sweet whisper from within you or louder as your companion. Once you start hearing the voice of the HOLY SPIRIT you become supernatural. Nothing can be hidden from you. As you look at a person, his past, his present and the future will be revealed to you instantly. It might flash across to you in front of your eyes or the Holy Spirit will tell all the secret life of that person.
In Matthew 4:6, Satan quotes the scriptures then how much we should be equipped with the knowledge of the Word. One can tackle the Satan only with the Word. He knows your strength and the knowledge of the Word. He is clever and cunning, he might question you from the Word or ask you to quote the scripture in front of the congregation during deliverance ministry. He will put the minister of God to shame. In that case the pastor has to bind the evil tongue. The Lord Jesus Christ quoted the scriptures during the temptations (Matthew 4:7, Luke 4:4,8)
Beware of what you are talking. The vain words, irrelevant gossips, worldly jokes are worthless and blasphemous. Every word that we have spoken will be judged by the Word.
There are lot of spiritual truths hidden in the Word. The Word will fill us with wisdom and transform us to a wise one. It is a powerful tool for personal growth. It will renew the mind and as we meditate our approach to this world will be completely different. We will be matured spiritually and we can overcome all sorts of worldly temptations.
The Word became flesh and the Word is alive. The Satan and the Hell fears the Name Jesus. The Name Jesus is a powerful Weapon, a Shield and Armour against all sorts of spiritual warfare. His Name is the Hedge and Fortress
“Man shall not live by bread alone but every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God” (Deuteronomy 8:3).
Let the Word of God and the Most Powerful Name above all the names JESUS be on the tip of your tongue eternally.
