All About GOD - Growing Relationships with Jesus and Others
Keep yourself in prayer!
because the devil has come down to you!
He is filled with ·anger [wrath],
because he knows he ·does not have much time [L has little time].” DO you see why Jesus wants us to pray. The devil is roaming the earth and trying to find victims that are not alert. As the word of God says in 1 Peter 5:8-·Control [Discipline] yourselves and be ·careful [alert]! The devil, your enemy, ·goes around [prowls]like a roaring lion looking for someone to ·eat [devour]. So how can you make sure you don't become his victim. It is by praying which will keep you alert. Remember when Jesus was in the Garden of Gethsemane he told the disciple they need to pray so they won't fall into temptation. AS the word of God says in Matthew 26:41-Stay awake [Keep watch] and pray for strength ·against temptation [or not to fail the test]. The spirit ·wants to do what is right [is willing], but ·the body [or human nature; T the flesh] is weak.” So if you have areas where you are still struggling with you need to pray. How can you expect to be deliver from your weakness that can cause you to fall from the grace of God. If you are not taking your weakness to God.God cannot help you if you don't tell him about them. The word of God says to devote ourselves to prayer. AS the word of God says in Colossians 4:2.All of us have issues and last thing we want is for God to find us carousing with the cares of this world and stay off the will of God. And then we are left out on the outside of the door instead of the inside when Jesus comes.As the word of God says in Luke 21:34-36·Be careful [Watch yourselves] not to ·spend your time [or become dulled by; L let your hearts be weighed down by] ·feasting [carousing; debauchery], ·drinking [drunkenness], or worrying about worldly things. If you do, that day might come on you suddenly,·like a trap. For it will come upon all people who live on the earth. [or Like a trap, it will come upon all people who live on the earth.]So be ·ready[alert; watching] all the time. Pray that you will be strong enough to escape all these things that ·will[are about to] happen and that you will be able to stand before the Son of Man.” The devil wants to convince us that we need to be about our own desires but hey don't our own desires lead us to wages of death? Remember he did that to Jesus when Peter tried to stop him from going to the cross. As the word of God says in Matthew 16:22-23-Peter took Jesus aside and ·told him not to talk like that [L began to reprimand/rebuke him]. He said, “·God save you from those things [God forbid; May it never be; L (God) Be merciful], Lord! Those things ·will never [must certainly not] happen to you!”Then Jesus turned and said to Peter, “·Go away from [Get behind] me, Satan! You are ·not helping [an obstacle/stumbling block to] me! You don’t care about [are not setting your mind on/thinking about] the things of God, but only ·about the things people think are important [on/about human concerns].” And prayer is what will help you resist him. AS the word of God says in 1 Peter 5:9-·Refuse to give in to [Resist] him, by standing strong in your faith. You have to pray that God will keep you from the devil and keep you away from evil desires that are in your heart. AS the word of God of Psalm 141:4-Take away my desire to do evil [L Don’t incline my heart to an evil matter]
or to join others in doing wrong.
Don’t let me eat tasty food
with those who do evil. Saints we have to keep ourselves in these perilous times anchor in prayer. It will help us stand strong when the tribulation comes.As the word of God says in Revelation 7:14-
I answered, “You know, ·sir [or my lord].”
And the elder said to me, “These are the people who have come out of the great ·distress [persecution; tribulation]. They have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb [C having believed in Jesus, their sins are forgiven through Christ’s death and resurrection].Spend a lot time in the Lord presence which is where your true joy is at. AS the word of God says Psalm 16:11-You will teach me ·how to live a holy [L the path of] life.
·Being with you will fill me with joy [L In your face/presence is the fullness of joy; Acts 2:28];
at your right hand I will find pleasure forever.God bless you all in Jesus Name.Amen
If you want to have a relationship with Jesus say this prayer: Lord Jesus I come back to you. Because I wonder away from my true God. I realize my life has been nothing but working for death. Im asking for the free gift of salvation which you have provide for me when you were place upon the cross for me and the world. I come that your blood would wash away my sins and that you with my baptize me with the Holy Spirit.In Jesus Name. Praise God you are new creation.
