SATAN AGAINST OUR FAITH

Nothing on earth is more powerful than the Holy Spirit flowing through the faith of a born again disciple of Jesus . Nothing. It is the greatest superpower available to anyone anywhere. Through faith nothing is impossible . When a Christian is full of Spirit-empowered faith, he cannot stop and cannot be stopped speaking about what he has seen and heard. Not even death can silence him.
This means that nothing is more humanly destructive to the domain of darkness than a faith-filled Christian. Through him, Jesus destroys the devil’s works. The only thing Satan’s forces fear more than the vibrant faith of a Christian is the unified, collaborative, vibrant faith of a community of Christians.
But we do have one vulnerability: unbelief. It weakens us and can destroy us. And Satan knows this very well.
Satan’s primary goal in the thousands of his various attacks on us is to take down our faith. His primary goal against the church is to fragment the formidable force of united faith and isolate believers, weakening the church and making individuals more vulnerable. His forces are hell-bent on these strategic objectives.
The faith of a Christian is God’s chosen channel to bring his saving, sanctifying, strengthening, healing, and delivering grace to the world. If Satan can weaken our faith, he can immobilize us. If he can destroy our faith, he can destroy us. But if he can’t disarm our faith, Jesus will destroy him through it.
This is why we find the fight of faith and the unity of faith so hard . The stakes are very high in this spiritual war and the battle line is drawn over our faith. Satan is doing everything he can to employ the Kryptonite power of unbelief against us. This is what’s taking place in all our temptations to disobedience, discouragement, doubts, distractions, and divisions. Satan’s trying to weaken and destroy our faith and, through us, the faith of others.

GOD HAS A PURPOSE FOR YOUR PAIN

“God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them,” says the Apostle Paul. But do we truly believe this in the midst of every circumstance and trial we face in life? Do we really believe he has a purpose for our pain, sorrow, and despair? It may not always be easy to accept, but that doesn’t mean the words of Paul to be any less true. Whether it be my immediate family, close friends, acquaintances or individuals reaching out to me via email and social media, it seems to me that there are a lot of people in this world currently going through some really tragic times. Some are facing financial issues, others are battling marital problems, and some are even mourning over the loss of a spouse or family member. Mostly all of these people are believers in Jesus, but brokenness and pain seem to be quite popular lately. They’ve all encountered tragedies they didn’t expect nor could they have really planned for. The...

TODAY'S READING (AUGUST 26-8-18)

For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function,     so in Christ we, though many, form one body,  and each member belongs to all the others.     We have different gifts,  according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying,  then prophesy in accordance with your faith;   if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach;     if it is to encourage, then give encouragement;  if it is giving, then give generously;  if it is to lead,do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.                                                                                                   ...

TRUSTING GOD

  Faith In God Faith in God - A Pure Perspective Our faith in  God is bolstered by the evidence  and grounded in a  transformed life . However, the simplicity of our faith is summed-up best by the innocence of a pure heart. Here's an essay written by an eight-year-old... God's second most important job is listening to prayers. An awful lot of this goes on, since some people, like preachers and things, pray at times beside bedtime. God doesn't have time to listen to the radio or TV because of this.  The fact that with God ‘all things are possible’ is proven by the fact that God created the entire universe out of nothing. The writer of Proverbs says, ‘By wisdom the LORD laid the earth’s foundations, by understanding he set the heavens in place; by his knowledge the deeps were divided, and the clouds let drop the dew’ (Proverbs 3:19–20). The Gift of Our Trust If we foolishly assume that our Father has no right to our trust unless he makes his inf...
