RESIST THE DEVIL.

-

*James:4.7* 
 Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

--------------------------------------------
There is a definite end that the bible has clearly stated....;the fleeing away of the devil from you just after resistance.

The devil uses our weaknesses to over throw us...we all know that. He uses what we already know in our minds to tempt us. He uses the beliefs we cherish in our hearts to mislead us. The devil starts from the point where you are to fail and destroy your destiny.

However, two things within scripture show that embracing them as a tool in fighting the enemy will definitely make him loose; total submission to God and resisting the devil.

You cannot resist the devil if you don't totally submit to God. And you can't submit to God if you have not decided to resist the devil. You have to accept one of the two in your heart and not both of them. 
Resistance starts within your thoughts. If you think there is a sin that the devil has tied on you, it is upon yourself to make up you mind to let go of the sin. If there is a habit that the devil has tied on you , it is upto you to mentally decide to let go. The bad character you have , can flee if you let go mentally. The wrong thought can flee if you mentally resist. Devil fights you in your mind. Resist him in your mind. God needs your heart. Wherever, He is 'found' including your church and here within scripture; submit your heart dear friend.

HOLD IT

SUNDAY SERVICE  SERMON:                           HOLD IT   INTRO :  It is easy to go through life and feel embarrassed. And because of such embarrassment, it also easy to feel like throwing out something to compensate for your bad feelings. You feel you should throw out a word at someone, you feel you should throw off the relationship, you feel you should throw off the patience.  There is something that happens behind the scene that we never know about. And if we knew it, we would understand the power of holding it to our selves.   PROB : The problem we have is that we want to seek for compensation in short times, for revenge within no times...and never want to hold reactions for long.   PURP :  To enable us hold our emotions and anxieties in a world of intolerance.       >>> Christ was a man who faced a lot of persecution. He was always sought for by his enemies. They wanted him dead at all cost. Reaching a point of shamelessly paying one of his disciple to bet

THE GREAT BLISS

THE GREAT BLISS Isaiah 42:9  See, the former things have taken place, and new things I declare; before they spring into being I announce them to you.” -------------------------------------------- When there is something God is yet to do, He has to get tools within you to accomplish it. And one tool to use in you is the mind you got. God cannot accomplish great things when the mind and heart are stuck in former things...in former years. Before He made Mary have the great son He had to make her forget the former things and focus on the new things. When the Bible clearly says that God has a good plan for us and it assures us that God has no harmful plan for us; this means that what could be holding us back is not up to God!. He has the good plan already. But the nature of our minds may be holding onto the former and never letting it go. Because of the pains you had in the last year, you still revise that and experience pains again.  But there is something new. The Lord has tol
