Amazing how much trouble one little
conversation with the devil can get you into! They went from everything to nothing,
by messing with the serpent! And it didn't just impact their lives alone, but
the lives of every succeeding generation! Don’t let the same thing happen to
you!
The Devil Will Always Make You Demonic
Offers That Look Like Angelic Opportunities. However, you don’t have to be
fooled, nor do you have to accept. Remember the Word of God: “…we don’t want to unwittingly give Satan an opening for yet more
mischief – we’re not oblivious to his sly ways.” (2 Corinthians 2:11 MSG). Don’t
Let The Devils Sly Ways Trap You In His Sticky Web!
Don't fall for those lies. They've
destroyed so many people already!
That’s the danger of allowing the wrong
people access into your life! Remember
Ephesians, “…don’t even give the devil the opportunity…” which means in our
simple day-to-day vocabulary: Don’t wait until the second phone call; the third
text; the fourth picture; the fifth wink; the sixth let’s just grab some coffee;
the seventh Facebook inbox; the eight I was just checking on you; or the ninth
that color looks good on you! NO! At the FIRST sign nip it in the bud and shut
it down, before it bites you in the behind and shuts you down permanently!
What people fail to realize is that you
don’t always recover from a mistake or a willful decision to sin! Some lose
their marriages, children, jobs, friends, careers, ministries and never get
them back! Forgiven does not mean you get to press restart with absolutely no
consequences. This is why you should always pay attention to what you’ll lose
forever by what you gained for a moment.
(James 1:13-15 MSG). This is why
we ought to also remember: “Don’t become partners with those who reject God.
How can you make a partnership out of right and wrong? That’s not partnership;
that’s war. Is a light best friend with dark? Does Christ go strolling with the
Devil? Do trust and mistrust hold hands? Who would think of setting up pagan
idols in God’s holy Temple? But that is exactly what we are, each of us a
temple in whom God lives. God himself put it this way: “I’ll live in them, move into them; I’ll be their God and they’ll be my people. So leave the
corruption and compromise; leave it for good,” says God. “Don’t link up with
those who will pollute you. I want you all for myself. I’ll be a Father to you;
you’ll be sons and daughters to me.”
The Word of the Master, God.” (2 Corinthians 6:14-18 MSG).
If you don't play around the sticky threads of sin and temptation, the
one who wants to devour you cannot even touch you. You have done what the Bible
says. You have resisted the one who would devour you.
God and the Kingdom have need of
you…Alive! You have gifts, ministry, calling and anointing to fulfill. You
can’t hang out with the destroyer and meet divine destiny at the same time. So
today is your day to choose Whom you will serve? Tomorrow is not promised, and
someone who thought they had another day realized that last night was their
LAST night. Don’t straddle the fence any longer. No more compromise, only
conviction to stay on the right side of God’s Law.
Blessings
