Don't Be Weary

  Galatians 6:9 Our text passage is clear that we should not be weary in doing the good we have always done so as not to lose our reward or harvest. Every good thing we do is an investment and it is noted by the God who created the heaven and earth, the God with whom all things are naked/transparent/made plain/visible. Weariness means losing heart, to become discouraged, tired, to have reduce courage. Tiredness and fatigue leads to loss, it robs us of our opportunities and time. When we are tired we don't see a bright future, we don't see opportunities and we struggle to keep on top of things. For this reason the enemy of our souls uses fatigue as a weapon. He wants you to be weary, weariness makes us give up. He brings fatigue into our lives by trying to wear us out. Daniel 7:25 Satan tries to wear down the saints of God (the church/followers of Christ). He does this by oppressing them, persecuting them, and intimidating them. He has been given a moment in time to do so. Such

Don't Worship Another

  Luke 4:5-8 In our text passage we see Satan trying to get worship from Jesus in a very sly and cunning way, he failed to tempt Jesus successfully. When he didn't succeed in getting worship from Jesus he tried to kill Jesus. He tried to tempt Jesus to jump off the high mountain region of a temple and misused the scriptures in a twisted fashion to achieve his aim. Of course, it failed. Luke 4:9-13 We are created for the glory and pleasure of God and worship glorifies and pleasures God. Revelation 4:11 Satan has always desired worship, knowing most human beings will not directly or intentionally worship him he tries to get it indirectly. Matthew 4:8,9 Isaiah 14:13 The scriptures tell us not to worship another except the creator. Our worship options are between God our creator and Satan our enemy. There's no other option, it's either you're a worshipper of God or you're a direct or indirect worshipper of Satan. John 8:44,45 Jesus called the Jews who didn't know Go

Don't Get Entangled

 Galatians 5:1 Our text passage encourages us not to be entangled again with the yoke of bondage but to stand in the liberty that Christ has given us. Jesus came for our freedom. We shouldn't go from freedom back into bondage, we must not be entangled . Entanglements are part of the strategy of the enemy of our souls to keep us bound and defeated. The spiders web comes to mind when entanglements are mentioned. The spider is a very interesting creature when you think about it. God has given the spider the unique ability to spin webs, these webs are what become cobwebs in our buildings and homes, they are the spider's traps for its potential prey and they are part of the spiders survival strategy. The purpose of the spiders web its to get the spider fed, it's to catch the spiders potential prey. The victim gets entangled in the web the spider has weaved skillfully with clever patterns. Very much like the spider, Satan sets traps to capture souls and destinies. Like a spider h
