The Monster Within

Being taught that positive thinking will somehow control the desires within so that we’re able to live a righteous life and have the things you want is of course a lie.But after you’ve tried all of that,  you’re  left in defeat and with  a guilty conscience,beating yourself up is not the answer and of course you’ve learned neither is positive thinking. There are so many Ministers and  Bible Teachers leading many the wrong way and they to are caught up in their own lies. They’re preaching and teaching according to their desires and not what God‘s word says is right and good. But yet and still they do not realize that the enemy within is now leading them,it is such a thin line to cross.

(Galatians 5: 17 For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please.)

That is the reason we cannot depend on humans for the answers we need and seek ,the only way to find deliverance and peace from this monster within is through the one who can totally control him  Jesus Christ he is  the way,the truth,and the life and all power is in his hands.

Ephesians 1:4~6    Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure.  So we praise God for the glorious grace he has poured out on us who belong to his dear Son.

Even though we struggle with the monster within(flesh) in Jesus we have victory because he has satisfied God for us Amen.

Love

1 If I speak human or angelic languages but do not have love,a I am a sounding gong  or a clanging  cymbal.2 If I have the gift of prophecy  and understand all •mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so that I can move mountains  but do not have love, I am nothing.3 And if I donate all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body in order to boast  but do not have love, I gain nothing.4 Love is patient, love is kind. Love does not envy,g is not boastful, is not conceited,5 does not act improperly, is not selfish,i is not provoked, and does not keep a record of wrongs.6 Love finds no joy in unrighteousness but rejoices in the truth.7 It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures  all things.8 Love never ends. But as for prophecies, they will come to an end; as for languages, they will cease; as foreknowledge, it will come to an end.9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.10 But when the perfect comes, the partial will come to an end.

11 When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put aside childish things.
12 For now we see indistinctly,as in a mirror, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know fully, as I am fully known.
13 Now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Plain and simply said it’s all about Love and that covers a whole lot of ground,praise God. Only Jesus Christ can help us love  each other fully,and oh God you know how much we need that. How often do we keep right on doing the things we’ve been nudged over and over about,we need to give in to the Holy Spirit so that he can love through us. Father help us and lead us so that we can grow up and treat others right,because it pleases  you when we walk in love. Thank you Father for your Son Jesus Christ our perfect sacrifice ,please help all unbelievers come to repentance in Jesus name Amen.

Love in Christ Pat

Encouragement

I got a word from the Lord and it’s meant to encourage and lift our spirits.There are so many brothers and sisters going through very difficult trials,and of course we know why. The enemy is trying hard to make us give up and walk away from Jesus. This is the word: Keep your mind on me more and more,keep the word playing and keep good uplifting gospel music going. The Lord said also my people are falling away because of fear,and we know the damage fear can bring. So we must stay in the word and and keep the word rolling over and over in our minds,the coming attacks will be feirce. But we have a God that can do anything and he is our great keeper,but when you’re filled with fear and doubt you cannot hear from God. Fear and doubt are the enemies main weapons but our overcoming power comes from the great Spirit of God in us,feed him so there is something to work with. For God has promised when the enemy comes in,like a flood the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him, we have  all mighty God with us and in us and we can stand in the midst of these storms!

Philippians 4:4~7

4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your graciousness be known to everyone. The Lord is near.6 Don’t worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses  every thought, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
Romans 35:38,39

38 For I am persuaded that not even death or life,
angels or rulers,
things present or things to come, hostile powers,
39 height or depth, or any other created thing
will have the power to separate us
from the love of God  that is in Christ Jesus our Lord!
