Friend, are you unhappy?

Here's a reminder that God is not unhappy ever. He is full of Joy!

Think about it. Could a Pure God, be unhappy? No.

So where does your unhappiness come from?

Self pity? Straight from the devil. Things aren't going good for me?  Straight from the devil.

Don't be a pawn of satan. He deceives us into thinking God is not for us and this is the reason we are unhappy but in fact it is he who deceives you, with all his worldy ways, into thinking that God has abandoned you.

NO!  God in the form of Jesus the Son of God part of the three part Godhead, left all the beauty and riches of Heaven and took on the lowly form of a man and entered this sinfilled world to fulfil a plan of God the Father to both give the devil his due, a place of principality, and a place for those who would be born into this world to discover Almighty God through His Son's Sacrifice.

That's you and me. We have a chance to find the Love of Jesus, through His Sacrifical Gift of what the Cross symbolizes, death to the body, and resurrection of the Soul into fellowship with the Son, who God has chosen to be the Pure and Holy and only Sacrifice, that could count as a payment for the sins of the world.

Satan will never repent. He is so filled with evil that he just wants to hurt God by taking as many souls with him to hell that he can continue to torment for his own demise - at least he will be king in the Lake of Fire that is prepared for him to be punished in.

I would never want this for my soul and nor do I want it for any of my family or friends or any good and naive people who haven't as yet understood the Great Plan of God.

This is why these blog entries are always pointing to Jesus as the Way, the Light, the Truth and the Peace for our souls.

Isn't this what a Holy God would put in place for us, the little sinner that needs a Saviour?

No friend, unhappiness is from satan and if you are caught up in it, in the form of depression, know the source and begin to change your thoughts to agree with God in all things.

Place all your trust in Him who is Trustworthy, Loveable, Righteous in all His undertakings, always according to the pure and unaduterated Law of God which is ours and Holy, never changing. It is the Truth we can count on to find our Way in this sin filled world.

Rebuke unhappiness and depression from your life and grow in the Knowledge of Him, who died so you might have Life Eternal and live it more abundanty whilst here on earth.

Be blessed by this knowledge and apply it to your life and circumstances begining now!

Friend, we must remember that outward distractions are an impediment to the Divine Will for our life.

The Will of God is; to Love us completely and fill us to overflowing with His Love; to give us a Peace in our soul and spirit that is beyond what this world can offer; to give us a God understanding/Knowledge that will help us to walk in this world unscathed; to fill us with Light so we can be a light to others; to teach us Truth and make a Way for us; to show us how to discern with Godly intentions, and fill us with all Wisdom for our journey.

These are just the basic Gifts He gives - and it is up to us to accept each one.

Sometimes, we push certain Gifts away thinking we'd like to do it our way or on our own terms but that is not wise.

Then the outward distractions that are not viewed from a God standpoint of Wisdom and Discernment, are given a foothold from the devil - who seeks to destroy us.

When we have let many demons in, and we are steadily working on getting rid of them as we recognize their character; and we understand they mean to keep us from our Godly right of being adopted into the Family of God through the Blood shed at Calvary for us by Jesus, we need to be firm within ourselves and apply all the teachings of Jesus to those strongholds, so that as we get rid of the legions who have taken up residence in our body, we don't allow others to enter, in their many disguises - usually excuses raised by the consciousness within the soul.

Never take the "Oh, poor me," attitude or make excuses.

Be strong and firm against the devil and his minions as you do have the power to make Godly choices for your life even when in extreme circumstances.

God's got you and the Son is Strong and Powerful and the devil is just that, the devil. To God he's a pest that is going to be eliminated and along with him all the demons and those who have followed him into madness. 

The time may be soon when that begins to happen. The Bible says now is the accepted time to repent and ask forgiveness and receive the Son as your Lord and Saviour.

Bless you, friend.

Friend, God's Authority is given to us when we are called by His Son's Name - Jesus.

Our personal world can change when we are dependent of God for this Authority. He allows and encourages us to use it as a tool to help us remove sin from our lives.

When we know that we are His and that we want no-one else's authority, we can begin to call on His Name to rebuke every evil thought and action and demon from our mind, body and soul.

Demons must leave when we tell them to - in the Name of Jesus.

The power that we have at our disposal comes through close relationship with Jesus which includes prayer and for more tenacious demons, fasting.

But for now, begin to use your new teaching to rid yourself of the daily annoyances that you know to be not Godly that are in your life.

We start with ourselves. We clean up our own soul. and spirit and body. We begin with thinking - the thoughts that lead to unwholesomeness.

A simple, "I reject that in the Name of Jesus!" is a good beginning in the everyday struggles against darkness.

The personal evil that likes to attach itself to the one who does not believe in Jesus, resists the believer as well - as they try to open up to the teachings of the Lord. But He has given us this tool to use and from what the Apostle Paul says, we will probably use it to fight the good fight within ourselves until we die.

But, the fight gets easier when we practise this and use it often to rebuke and destroy evil strongholds.

You will become a fierce fighter for your soul and have many victories through using this one simple tool given to you by Almighty God for vanquishing the devil and his demons.

Refuse to be intimidated by evil and when you see it at work a simple, "I reject that and I rebuke ...........in the Name of Jesus!" 

It can be said in your mind or out loud.  You have the Holy angels of Heaven on your side and demons have to leave because they know that Jesus is Lord and at the Name of Jesus the Bible says,  demons tremble and skulk away to search for another host they may destroy.

Commit to being free and you shall be free from the power of darkness. It's an inner struggle and that's where the battles are fought and won.

Jesus will use these victories as you grow stronger with Him as your King. 

Friend, it's important not to be wilful like a child who must have his own way even though it leads to hurt and bother.

Wilfulness is something the Lord asks us to be rid of.

It is the one thing that will keep us from learning, growing and receiving the blessings of the Kingdom.

Commit to being able to be taught the Truth.  When wilful thoughts and actions start to pour out of you, remember the wilful child who always gets hurt when they continue on the wilful path.  Mother asks them to stop and warns of the consequences, but as soon as she goes about her business, there is little Johnny jumping off the sofa again and soon he hits his head on something and there's blood everywhere along with the screaming and crying!

The next day, bandaged, he's doing the same thing again! Wilfulness.

He hasn't learned a thing.

Jesus sees our wilfulness as a desire to do our own thing and He knows we will not learn anything or even hear anything He says to us when we are wilful.

We may want to know about Him and enjoy all the benefits but we want to be wilful as well.

The Lord knows and sees this in us and it is a barrier to Him helping us.

Today if you are convicted in the spirit that you do this, then be a Truth-seeker and decide to abandon those ways. Where have they got you anyway? Only trouble probably.

Reach out and take His hand and bow in silence and let all that wilfulness flow out of you into the ether.

Friend, the Lord will not abandon those who profess their love for Him as their Saviour.

You may stumble and sometimes fall backwards but if you continue to love Him and have a close relationship with Him, you will find at the end of your life, that He never abandoned you.

We sometimes think when times get a bit rough that He has left us, but actually, it is we who have wandered from Him.

Stay closely connected! Speak to Him every day. Have your day be an open prayer of thanksgiving and gratefulness for His Gift of Life.

If things don't go the way you expected, whatever the circumstances, know that He will walk through the problem with you and will show you the perfect Way for you.

His choices for you involve you growing from a baby Christian to a mature one. So He will use all your circumstances to prove to you that He is God and He can be trusted and loved.

There is not a human being alive that you could trust as much or more than He, because He is Trustworthy.

He loves us more than any human could ever love us.

His Ways are not our ways. His Thoughts are not our thoughts. He sees all and knows all, He has created all things. He owns and is; Law, Mathematics, Language, and there is much this world has never even seen or heard of, that is Him. His Majesty cannot be fully explained in our speech.

When the spirit in you meets the Holy Spirit in worship, we come close to knowing and feeling a Beauty which is Jesus.

Seek after these things at all times. Make these thoughts a pure essence of your life; to know God.

He can be found when sought with a heart that is not hardened, a mind that is open to knowing and a soul that is humble and a spirit that is willing.

Bless all who seek after Righteousness!   

Friend, stay in the safe place where you are so close to Jesus, that you find it more beautiful to be there than anywhere else the world offers.

We love our selves so much that we often think it is not a sin. In fact the world tells us these days to love ourselves first and then all things will come to us that we desire.

This is a big lie from the wicked one who desires to capture your soul for his own purposes - and they are not good, not something you will love when the time comes to pay the piper.

The wicked one will give you some of the things you desire to keep you lulled into a sense that loving yourself and placing yourself first is the right thing to do, but God's Word says this is not a Truth, but a lie from the pit of hell designed to deceive you.

Many are the souls who fall into the trap and cannot see their way out, dying in their false belief, and even sprouting it in books and entertainment venues as the "right" thing for all humans.

Don't be misled. Follow God's Word. It is the Truth. It will be hard at times but the joy in the spirit will see you through when you follow closely behind Jesus. Just walk in His footsteps.

He will never lead you astray or away from Truth, Love, Kindness, Gentleness, Light, Peace in your soul, and all the other wonderful attributes of God's blessings that are ours to take into our spirit to help us grow and be strong in Godly  pursuits.

It's important to daily discipline the mind and body. Count it all pleasure to follow your Lord and Saviour who gave His life and suffered terribly so you could have everlasting life. Don't throw that away for momentary, temporary life here on this earth.  Look to the future - the everlasting life and make choices based on that scenario, not just today's needs and wants and desires.

Don't ignore the Lord's presence in your life. When you have acknowledged Him as God, then don't deny His Presence in your life.

Your acknowledgement of Him caused Him to enter into the throne room of your heart and take up residence. From there He guides and directs you. This you will find manifested to you as conviction and confirmation as the situation demands. 

He takes His responsibility to you as Law and will not waver until you ignore Him and He cannot get through to you. These are the times when we actually move far from Him - not wanting His Fatherly concern anymore.

Have a humble demeanor and know that He is for you and willing to work with your sprit day and night never wavering from arranging all things in your life and making ways where there seem to be no ways.

Sometimes things take a while because He is also working with others who will not listen to Him and deny His existence therefore thwarting Him, but He sends the Holy Spirit to work closely with them to change their thinking so that His plans for you will be fulfilled.

Just stay close to Him in the safe place knowing He cares for you and has your best interests at heart and He will accomplish what He has planned for you, as long as you stay committed to Him and the kingdom of God.

Friend, it's important to be unshaken in our faith in God, by the trials that come our way.

Decide today to have unshakeable trust in His Goodness and Mercy.

The Grace that He extends to us every new day is something we can count on always being available to us.

Never throw away your faith because something has shaken you off your feet.

Be strong and know that He is with you in the midst of your belief in Him. It is your choice always to continue or throw aside your faith.

Satan will always come against believers. He loves to trip up weak believers. Stay strong and God will send you help. Read His Word the Bible to gain knowledge of how God helps us to overcome obstacles and how He deals with satan.

Proverbs 1:33 But whosoever hearkeneth unto Me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.

Proverbs 2:10-11When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul; discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee.

Many people today have turned their backs on God, once being believers because He did not come through for them in the way they wanted. So they joined the ranks of unbelievers.

But today is a new day and anyone who has once believed in Holy God is welcomed back into the fold and given a second chance to find understanding. God knows if you strayed, but He cannot operate on your terms. You must accept Him and ask for forgiveness - which you will immediately receive if your heart is broken and has led you back to Him.

Learn to be unshaken in your faith. Know that God is Good.

No matter what transpires in your life - remember you have walked many an ungodly path - God is Good and will help you to know Him if your heart has the desire to know Truth, Wisdom, Peace and Love.
