RESIST STEDFAST IN THE FAITH

RESIST STEDFAST IN THE FAITH 

Have you ever set back and just watched your surroundings? If you have sometimes you ask yourself why did someone do such-and-such, or what in this world was we thinking at the time we did what we did. I know sometimes I am astounded at some of the things that I did and I just have to shake my head in disbelief. I own it, I did it, but now I'm wondering why.

I have been watching and I am noticing a lot of Christians and non-Christians are doing the same things. I am at a point in my life where all I can do is Pray and shake my head. Then I remember The Holy Scriptures about satan and how he works and begin to understand what is going on.  

The devil came to Eve in the Garden of Eden and twisted The Word Of God to Eve so much that she believed what he was saying was true. In fact, satan is a liar and has always wanted to be as God, so He tempted the woman with his desire and she wanted to be as God also. Wanting to be as God is where man is still today, wanting to create babies in the bodies of men, changing men to women, and women to men. All of these are from satan; he has deceived men into thinking they can be as God. We, Christians, need to remember that there is no Power as Great as the Power of God. There is no being comparable to God. There Is Only One God and His Name Is Jehovah. God created everyone, every power, and everything, nothing is, that God did not create. The devil seeks whom he may devour, but he cannot if you know The Holy Scriptures. Have you ever wondered, am I  Saved, have I lost my Salvation, Do I have The Holy Spirit, am I A Child Of God? All of these questions are from satan, just to make you doubt The Word Of God. If you are truly BORN-AGAIN, then You Are Sealed With The Holy Spirit Unto The Day of Redemption. I did say if you are truly BORN-AGAIN, and believe me you will know for sure. If you find yourself working to stay Saved, or you have no desire to have a relationship with God, then you may want to check your Salvation. Reading His Word is the way we get to know God better, do you have a desire for The Word Of God? The Holy Spirit will open up The Word Of God to you,  and that will grow your Faith. 

Every part of Salvation is Faith, Faith that Jesus Christ Is The Only Begotten Son Of God. Faith is knowing The Sacrifice Of Jesus Christ is Enough To Save you and keep you Saved. Faith Is Knowing you are Saved by The Goodness Of God, not by your goodness. Faith is knowing that we are Saved by Grace. Faith Is Knowing That We Are Saved From The Wrath Of God and we will have an Eternal Home With Him In Heaven. Do Not Fall For The Lies Of Satan, Believe God, Trust In His Word. 

Colossians 1:16-17 

For by HIM were all things created, that are in Heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: ALL THINGS WERE CREATED BY HIM, AND FOR HIM: And HE is before all things, and by HIM all things consist.

Ezekiel 28:12-19 

Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord God; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. Thine Heart Was Lifted Up Because Of Thy Beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.

Isaiah 14:12-15 

How art thou fallen from Heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I Will Exalt My Throne Above The Stars Of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I Will Be Like The Most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

Genesis 3:1-6 

Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God Had Made. AND HE SAID UNTO THE WOMAN, YEA, HATH GOD SAID, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall BE AS GODS, knowing good and evil. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

1 Peter 5:6-11 

Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom RESIST STEDFAST IN THE FAITH, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. But the God of all Grace, Who hath called us unto His Eternal Glory By Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. To Him Be Glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

James 4:7 

Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Ephesians 4:30 

And Grieve Not The Holy Spirit Of God, Whereby Ye Are Sealed Unto The Day Of Redemption.

Titus 1:2 

IN HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE, WHICH GOD, THAT CANNOT LIE, PROMISED BEFORE THE WORLD BEGAN;

1 John 5:11-12

AND THIS IS THE RECORD, THAT GOD HATH GIVEN TO US ETERNAL LIFE, AND THIS LIFE IS IN HIS SON.  HE THAT HATH THE SON HATH LIFE; AND HE THAT HATH NOT THE SON OF GOD HATH NOT LIFE.
