Satan's attack against Christian

Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time,

Casting all your care upon him, for he cares for you,

Be sober; be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. But may the God of all grace, who called us to his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect establish, strengthen, and settle you.

To him be the glory and the dominion forever and, Amen.

1 Peter 5:6-11

Why Christians are being attacked by the enemy?

Like what’s said in the song, Christians are more than conquerors and no one can defeat them.

But the problem with us is many are being defeated, we are holding grudges in our hearts. And by holding this grunge, it would grow and it would eat us.

Even a single whole can drain out all the water on a jar, meaning, even a single grunge can drain all the nobility of a good heart.

So we must learn how to forgive, by forgiving, we must learn to forgive others and ourselves.

Grudges are being used by the enemy to attack us, he could place a single evil thought to our mind and that thought would infect our whole being.

It is said in the bible that we should have self control and alert because our enemy the devil roars around like a hungry lion.

A roaring lion; but these lions fear a victorious Christian. So there’s nothing to fear about, because God will always be with you to protect you and to take care of you.

If we should offer something to God, we should offer the best that we could have.

Satan is an active enemy of Christians. If God is true, therefore, demons are also true. Humans do not have a human enemy, it is the demon who is inside the person who acts as the enemy of that person.

Satan is a spirit. It means he is not tangible, and he works into our minds to deceive us and he makes everything he can to make us away from God.

Even if problems seem to be over powering, there should still be a reason to smile. It’s because God is with us, and if God is with us nothing will going to happen even the devil can interfere because God is inside you.

“Have self control.”

What does it mean? It means being able to guard, and what should we protect?

Our mind is the battlefield of evil and good, it is the doorway to the heart. So we should protect our mind and only good things should be able to enter it and we should have a good discernment so that we could pin point what is good from evil.

Be alert, be vigilant. In our everyday life we are required to be alert, it is because of the fast phase that we are encountering. We should have vigilance in order for us to be watchful so that we are ready if danger was within us. In that way the danger wouldn’t occur in the first place.

Resist the devil, fight for it. We fought the demon, he will flee from us. Resist him, learn how to stand firm. Be brave, you know that God is with you.

Spiritual Separation Part 2

“But now I come to you, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my

Joy fulfilled in them.

I have given them your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.

I do not pray that you should take them out of the world, but that you should keep them from the evil one.

They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.

Sanctify them by your truth. Your word is truth.

As you sent me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.

And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth.”

John 17:13-19

If anyone that decided to be with Christ would be a new creation, old things are passed away. Old things are replaced y new things. It is the concept of our relationship with God, if you had noticed in the previous verse that this is the longest prayer of our Lord Jesus. He had said this,”Perhaps, I am coming to you father, I will say this until I was in this world.” And Jesus came from heaven to earth to show the way.

The fruit of salvation is joy.

God wants us to overcome the world in order to obtain our salvation.

We must isolate ourselves to the system of this world and live out the life that God has intended us to have. By living right we are being connected to God, and we could reach out to him easily.

For example, if the leader of your country was not doing is job. We shouldn’t fight him by doing rallies and boycotting. It is against the will of the Lord, and we are not following him by doing those things. Instead, we even commit mistakes. God placed those people in that position, every leader that we have right known was chosen by God. And if they are not doing their job well, it is their conviction with God. And they would have to pay the price.

Not all the ‘good’ things that we see is right for us, some of it could harm us physically and spiritually. So we must use the wisdom that God has given us to discern all the things that was coming in our way. We should know if it was brought y the Lord or not.

The only way that we could follow God’s will is to renew our mind, and by renewing our mind we would be needing wisdom. And wisdom is taken from listening and absorbing the word of God.

We should learn to pray for each other so that we could establish a good spiritual relationship. By having spiritual relationship we could establish unity and unity will help us to make the church grow abundantly with God’s people. We could help each other to improve ourselves and we could reach out to people who want to get closer to God.

Prayer is our shield; it is also the tool to make our faith stronger. And to build up our spiritual stamina so that we could be immune to the trials that we would encounter.

Jesus Christ left his throne on heaven to live a simple life here on earth for our sins. Because he loves us that he even gave his own life for us. He suffered on the cross and he was able to stomach all the pain that he has been through because of his great love for each and every one of us. So why we wouldn’t pay him back by worshiping and praising him? Our Lord would be always willing to get close to us. He is always willing to help us in every problem that we may encounter. And he will never leave us, no matter what the cost; he will stay in our side.

Spiritual Separation Part 1

“Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with Darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said:
I will dwell in them and walk among them.
I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Therefore
Come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord.
Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you.
I will be a father to you, and you shall be my sons and daughters,
Says the Lord Almighty.”
2 Corinthians 6:14-18








What kind of pain that you are experiencing right now?

No matter what that pain is, only God can heal it. For He is the almighty Healer; and no one could overpass him.

There would be pressures that we would encounter in worshiping God but these pressures were just a trial that we could overpass when God is with us. When we feel pressure, we would also be able to feel God’s presence. The question is; how would we know if God is with us? The answer is simple, y just believing and having faith in Him.

It would be easy to determine if we are on God’s presence, everything that we would do will run smoothly. There would be no hindrances and problems. There might be trials but these trials were just a “test” or “quiz” that God knows we will surpass.

There is no such thing as an accident, everything that was happening to us were planned by God. And some of it was a fruit of our sins, but the most important thing is. God has a purpose in everything that surrounds us right know, we might not know for now what that purpose is, but surely that purpose would be a tool for our spiritual growth.

The word of God is the fuel for our soul, it is the one who keeps us going in our race to spirituality; the one who motivates us to pursue and finish the goal of our lives. So it is advisable for us to listen to the word of God as frequently as we could be. Let’s make it a habit that it would be difficult for us not to be able to grasp some word of God. It would be a lifestyle, a way of life. Well, obviously, listening alone would not be helpful. We should also live with it. Learn from it, and apply it to our everyday lives.

The best way to gain credits from God is to share what we have to others. By sharing, we would be able to give them the knowledge that we acquire in our past experiences. They will learn from it, and apply it. It would make a very big chance to their lives, and they would be inspired and thankful that they had been enlightened. And you are the instrument that God uses to touch their lives.

Spiritual separation means having a wall from God. You are “blocked” from the website of God; he cannot hear your prayers. And the wall that separates you from God is sin. We are locked by the sins that we commit, and the only way to gain access to God is by repenting and changing.

Another way that we Way to have spiritual separation with the Lord is when we do not followed his will, a good example is on serving the ministry. If we are convicted on the certain act that we had occurred, that action could be not attending or not paying attention in the church, we would be separated from the presence of God.

Serving God should be the first priority in our lives; it should be the number one on the ‘to-do list’. It should be a given, and by putting God at first in everything that we do. He will reward us by his never ending blessing.

Perils Of Apostacy Part 2

There are a lot of servants of God who had been cast away because of apostasy.

There was a story about the couple Ananias and Saphira who never gave their tithes, because of their greediness they have been convicted and died. She didn’t give even a single penny or percent to God; instead, she kept it for herself.

Every one of us is a servant of God, and we should convert conviction into something positive like changing our old deeds and giving ourselves a chance to have a new life with God.

The Lord taught us these three things:

1. We must all remember that we had our own calling when we decided to reunite with God. And we should continue our responsibility and be an instrument of God to make His church reach up to other people.
2. We must repent in every sin that we do; by asking forgiveness we should also turn our back to the old doings that we had done before.
3. We should be totally renewed, and this means that we would completely forget our past lives and look forward to the new life that God has prepared for us.

When the time comes that our Lord Jesus Christ will come back, we are pure and clean. Our conscience is not altered and we could give our praises to him without hesitation.

It is said in Corinthians 7:1

Þ Therefore having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

Meditate on these verse and remember what the Lord had said, “A good soil can harvest and God will be please, but the bad soil will never get crops.”
