ASV: Isaiah 57:15, 1 Thess. 2:18, Lev. 6:12, 2 Cor. 3:5, Gal. 5:25 NIV, Heb. 3:13, James 4:7, 2 Cor. 2:11 – I’ll start off by saying that Satan likes to inflate our opinions to make us think that we are right for asserting ourselves against God/Jesus/The Holy Spirit. So let’s remember to include, asking the Lord to humble us down, as a daily ask. Exhorting daily is a needful ask, from the Lord, that we have to do, by His Spirit. Leaving that out will get scary. Also, asking the Lord to remove any current or future seedlings of sins. Another request is for a complete submission to the Lord and to remove places that we have ignored a) there is value in asking the Holy Spirit to address quenching aspects upon your continual desire for the Lord, sometimes, we don’t realize, that we remain in the trappings of sinful tendencies [2 Tim. 2:26, Psalm 85:6] b) The Adversary and His Hosts enjoys the accompaniments and introductions of impurities taking further ground in our lives + the spoiling impacts upon Christlike fruitfulness. We have to realize Jesus’ Power, and ask for His help [ASV: Song of Solomon 2:15, John 15:5, Matt. 13:38-39] c) jadedness with the Lord is there, when the Adversary and His Hosts persuades resistance against God/Jesus/The Holy Spirit, slowing down our spiritual destination points, for our assigned ministries, from Him; we have to ask the Lord to help us examine + address our hinderances [Gal. 5:7] d) in Prov. 16:2 and Matt. 6:17, asking the Lord, that the inward motivation be in the right place, when serving for Christ e) in Col. 2:8, an awareness is needed, regarding the actual reality of time-consuming influences, on reading the Word and the evil behind the scenes that is diverting you. It is also worth to examine with the Lord, how much our hearts have changed with the correlation of not spending time in the Word [Col. 3:16] f) in John 13:2, reflection, Satan insinuating to betray each other, pray about unity g) in Luke 13:16, at times, when some of my unbelieving friends, tells me something about their lives, I ask, if I could pray for them, they seem fine with it, then they make surprise expressions afterward, about the difference that makes [2 Tim. 1:7, Isaiah 58:6]. You can also do that too, there is a higher turnover rate of them seeking the Lord, I find. All, by His Spirit h) in Eph. 4:13, share God’s Word, more often, even a daily compilation of verses, that’s good too i) in Psalm 139:23-24, we are often very petty toward the Lord, over extremely silly things, it is worth asking the Lord for forgiveness, in pettiness toward Him and blaming stuff on Him that wasn’t really His fault because that influences our interactions with the things of the Spirit [Jonah 4:4] j) The Adversary and His Hosts, also influences more areas of our lives than we realize, for example: asserting your wants and seeking you to say things, that aren’t of value for the Lord [Ecc 5:2, Matt. 7:7] k) ask the Lord to make our spiritual eyes Christlike healthy, daily [Psalm 119:18]. Tell the Lord daily, that you completely repent for all unbeliefs, and for His strength in the matter. I will end with 2 Cor. 7:1 + Eph. 3:16 + Col. 1:29
ASV: 1 John 2:5, 3:18, 2 John 1:6, 2 Cor. 2:15-16, Luke 6:27-28 – I was thinking to myself last night, about how a single glimpse, would be able to gather the entire knowledge of everything. I’m thinking now about actions and reactions. I believe that there is a deeper generational foresight, to why we as Christians must be people to ask for the Lord’s outworking of holy love, in our lives. Seems to be a pretty cold world, we live in, wouldn’t you say so? What is said in Phil. 2:20 is also a stream of consciousness, that I believe people are familiar with, and what needs to occupy a larger hemisphere of this earth and our character is the unfamiliarity of holy love. By His Spirit, how much of Satan’s work would be nullified, how many more salvational + reconciliation encounters would occur, in our ministries, and those who are turned from enemies of God/Jesus/The Holy Spirit to ministers of His Life (John 15:10, 1 Thess. 3:12, Gal. 4:19, Eph. 4:27)? I’ll end with 1 John 4:12, John 15:5, Heb. 12:10,14 John 14:23, 2 Cor. 3:18.
ASV: Jude 1:21 <—-> Rev. 2:4? 1 John 5:21, 2:15, 2 Cor. 11:3 – Satan seems to enjoy suggesting pamphlets of diversions for our love, away from Christ. The methods and means of ensuring that we are further unprepared and more ungoverned, by the Lord (Col. 3:2). I’ll end with prayer verses: James 4:8 and Luke 10:42
ASV: 1 Thess. 5:23, 2 Thess. 1:11, 1 Tim. 4:12, 1 Chr. 29:17, Col. 3:15, Eph. 1:17-19 – understanding what the Lord desires us to fulfill, according to His fitted purpose for our specific callings, requires the continual application of Christlike faith, that accompanies His power (for example: not constantly regularly doubting -> ask Him to address that, where the flesh loses ground, John 3:30). There is that ensnaring chance, as seen when Satan tried to tempt Jesus and mess with His ministry, so a growing Christlikeness in love, in purity, in faith, and more needs increasing momentum, yielded to His response (Eph. 3:16-17, 2 Cor. 3:5, John 15:5, Col. 1:29). His answer of peace, in where we are in life is an incredible living touch for our soul, and the possible generational ones, from His assigned ministries for us (Gal. 5:25 NIV, Col. 2:19, Phil. 2:12-13, Heb. 13:21, Col. 1:27, 2 Cor. 4:7,11, Psalm 33:11 NIV, Heb. 5:14). I’ll end with 1 Cor. 15:10 and Psalm 18:32
ASV: 2 Tim. 2:21, Josh. 22:29 [a spicy + general cautionary plate, not intended at all, to burn anyone, go ask Jesus :)] – we need to yield more to God/Jesus/The Holy Spirit’s shaping in our lives. It’s important not to rebel against the changes that the Lord intends for us because resisting the sanctifying work, makes us significantly unusable to meet the demands that the Lord requires of us, we must see, when Satan is seeking to oppose our steps with Christ (ASV: Psalm 119:67, Romans 8:14, 6:13, James 4:7, Phil. 3:15, Romans 8:13, Isaiah 30:21, Gal. 5:25 NIV, Eph. 1:17-19). I’ll end with Isaiah 48:10, 2 Cor. 4:16, Col. 1:10
ASV: Matt. 6:13, 7:9, Josh. 1:9 – whenever the Lord leads us; there is a danger that Satan comes along and falsely suggests that God/Jesus/The Holy Spirit lacks the best interests, for us (Gen. 3:5, James 1:17). I’ll end with 2 Cor. 11:3, John 8:32
ASV: 1 Cor. 2:14, Mark 4:15 – Satan has dimensional ways of trying to make sure that the things of God/Jesus/the Holy Spirit becomes unmentionable. For example: if I talk about how hating is bad, people would ironically hate me.
ASV: 2 Cor. 10:5, 11:3, Gen. 3:1 – Satan influencing us to doubt God/Jesus/The Holy Spirit -> a sinister logic. I’ll end with James 1:14-15, Col. 2:8
Romans 8:13, Luke 8:21 – submit to the changes of Christlikeness, there’s a spiritual warfare, going on (Eph. 6:12, 2 Cor. 10:4-5, Psalms 27:1)!
John 15:16, Exodus 34:6, John 5:19, Isaiah 41:10, Jer. 1:8, 1 Cor. 2:10, Gen. 50:20 – many times, the Lord does communicate to us, that there is something else that is ongoing from His side, in our situations. When all the while, we might’ve thought that He was opposing us but as our spiritual perceptions developed more, we see that it wasn’t the Divine antagonizing us but out of His goodness, the Lord -> helping us out of the grips of the Adversary and His Hosts (Heb. 5:14)
Luke 10:19 – The Adversary and His Host does also prey on people who are in a newer journey with the Lord, we have to protect His people, by His Spirit (1 Peter 5:8, James 4:7, Jude 1:3, 2 Cor. 10:4). I’ll end with Numbers 13:30 + 1 Kings 18:21, Numbers 14:24, Deut. 30:19, 2 Thess. 2:17
John 8:31-32, James 4:7 – the very unfortunate possibility is there, to introduce many things of the flesh into our lives, that does give the Adversary and His Hosts activities to make us resist the Lord.
John 6:63, 14:23 – being upfront with God/Jesus/The Holy Spirit -> “What is your mindset for me? What Words of yours, am I to love more deeply + practice, in order to align myself completely, to your will?” Also, ask the Lord to deal with what misfits in our lives that is unproductively slow ebbing, the giving of His Life.
Psalm 119:37,33 + Prov. 4:18 – there is more Christlikeness that is available, in these verses: we need to instruct the congregation, on asking the Lord, to teach them + others, upon turning away from unholy outlets, in our lives, which obscures the shining of His light of life (John 8:12, Luke 8:16 KJV).
Mark 8:22-25 + Eph. 1:17-18 – we need to recognize what is and isn’t the things of the Spirit, what is causing a translucent sight, from fixing our eyes on Jesus (Heb. 12:2), and ask Him to address those matters, for greater clarity.
Phil. 3:13, Heb. 12:1-2, James 1:25 – by His Spirit, continually disregard what doesn’t enlarge our spiritual lives; this requires vigilance, for us with God/Jesus/The Holy Spirit + the Bible to look carefully into the restraining aspects of our self-life that limits Christ, from further freely expressing Himself in us.
Phil. 2:13, 2 Tim. 2:21 – I’m sure we are enjoying the things of the Spirit, energizing us to further meet the desires for God/Jesus/The Holy Spirit, the corresponding increase of Christlikeness in our lives and the decreasing of unholy strongholds is a real beautiful form of His supremacy (John 3:30, Gal. 5:25, Col. 1:18).
In 1 Thess. 4:7 – we are continually going through a spiritually healthy phase of transitioning from uncleanness unto holiness in our conduct, with God/Jesus/The Holy Spirit (1 Peter 1:15-16 KJV). The Adversary and His Hosts, aside from many forms of mischief, are also attempting to constantly fix our eyes upon ourselves, make us look back to our old ways of doing things, to revert back to the increasing self-life that is unsuitable for the further development of our Christlike senses (Acts 13:22b, Psalm 32:8, Luke 9:62, Heb. 5:14).
James 4:8 + 1 Peter 5:8 – we need to draw near to God/Jesus/The Holy Spirit to cleanse our minds to a continually more Christlike sober and vigilant state. Otherwise, we can be very disestablishing + counterproductive to the building up of the Body of Christ (Col. 2:7); the Adversary and His Hosts, repeatedly attempts to knock us out of the Heavenly targets + objectives (Phil. 3:14), by enlarging our unaddressed thinking problems. In Romans 6:13, 8:5 and John 6:63, the spiritual warfare position among many fronts that Demonic Forces pursue is trying to convince us to yield to the mindset of the unprofitable flesh, so that we can scale down on the continuation of obedience to the Word (John 8:31). A very strong evil offensive includes this very sinister and subtlety of not taking up the cross and not renouncing our interactions with unfruitful thinkings (Luke 9:23 + John 15:8).
Eph. 1:17-19 KJV – as we can see, Eternal Strength that is outside of our capabilities is required, where we provide openings for God/Jesus/The Holy Spirit to forensically illuminate, so that we can turn away from evil, cooperatively with Him (Isaiah 40:28, Psalm 119:130, Proverbs 11:3, Psalm 34:14, 2 Cor. 10:4, John 8:12,10:10)
Romans 8:6-7 + 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 + Heb. 13:8 – I highly encourage more time spent thinking about the wonderful and truly majestic words: Jesus Christ. Call unto Him, say His Name, ask Him to consume your thoughts and be your thoughts, in a growing way, daily. Also, changing the way you think in 1,2,3,4,5, list as many matters that disturb you. The Gospel shows us various similar expressed situations of His willingness to help. Let Him participate more in this area. Administrations; this is a major area, that congregations need to continually transform their mindsets. If you can use words like “change,” that might be easier for them to understand, for example, rephrase the below quotes with the aforementioned above, in your style: ‘Let’s spend time with the Lord right now, I want you to think about Jesus Christ, and ask Him to change areas in your life, your thinking processes, that aren’t healthy for you, then thank Him.’ Demonic Forces are distracting His people, in a very heavy way, in this area, making people engage in psychological verbal jousts, rather than, engaging in ministries with a fuller Christlike mindset. The Adversary and His Hosts are working contrary to the verse in Phil. 2:5.
2 Samuel 22:29 – you need the Lord to illuminate, what’s going on. For example: can you read the Bible when it’s blinding dark, with zero source of light? During dark times and dark storms, we need Him to understand.
Jer. 15:16 ESV – “Your Words were found, and I ate them,” “Your Words became to me a joy” “the delight of my heart” -> spend more prayer + quiet time with God.
2 Peter 1:4 ESV – “partakers of the divine nature” – not partakers of the old nature, now and forever.
Jude 1:24 ESV – “able to keep you from stumbling”
Ezekiel 18:30 NLT + Psalm 32:5 NLT – everyone needs to be aware + vigilant of turning our eyes away from the hypnotic poison of unholiness, that if left unaddressed in our own personal lives, can be deeply destructive and be used, by Satan to create a revolt. Postscript: growing up, I have just seen so many of my church classmates, leave the faith over sin. When we notice sin, for the love of God, ask Him to help us change -> the alluring path that darkness is trying to make us astray. Let God’s grace abound in everything (Hebrews 4:16).
Matt. 4:8-9 NKJV “again” – why is that scene canonized into the Bible? Why is God showing Satan’s hand? This is a very strong and a repeatedly common move that is persuasive to many people. Notice how Satan gets us to look at other worldly things? But focusing on understanding what Christ is doing, is a better path, instead of dwelling on the pain (Hebrews 12:2 + Matt. 7:14).
Eph. 4:20 + Job 1:5 – “run its course” “make arrangements for them to be purified” – going through a week in downtown, we aren’t like outwardly piggies that roll in the mud but we could sure ask the Lord to remove a lot of the unspiritual traces that comes along with the city of sin. I’ll give you an example, for one of my jobs, people swear too much, and that type of language can become entranced with my communication, so I pray a lot that it doesn’t. Those types of unholy seedlings can eventually create debris to our fruitfulness from Jesus.
Job 1:6 – I want you to think about this. Would you be spooked, if Satan doesn’t attack you? That’s when I start wondering, if I am no longer a threat to Satan. The fact that Satan does attack us, shows us something.
[Eph. 4:26] + Job 1:9-11 – the way Satan talks
Job 1:11 – “now stretch out your hand and strike everything he has” -even Satan believes in God’s ability, why doubt God? If even the Devil knows that God’s power is real?
Eph. 4:31 + Job 1:11-12,20-22 – interesting; God already knew in Job 1:8.
Phil. 2:15 <- (Eph. 5:10 + Eph. 4:13,15-16 + Phil. 3:17) – pray about this, present day society is pretty messed-up, we need to be of a different spiritual contrast, more and more Christ-glorifying vessels.
Matthew 7:17-20, 10:16 – wolves do more overall damage than spiritual good to members in the Body of Christ. If you have people in your church with spiritual discernment that can pick them out, that’s good. Many “wolves in sheep’s clothing” exists, there cannot be unawareness of that or any naiveness in the area, where Satan operates with stealth. Some hallmark examples are stopping the sharing of God’s Word, blocking efforts to tell the congregation to read the Bible, ensuring that the abundant life of Christ is at a minimal pace, they will further halt attempts for the church to ascent toward restoration, healing and people getting back on their feet, prevent appointments of exceptional spiritual candidates whom through Christ can significantly push back Demonic Forces and markedly abate unspiritual attacks against the church, etc. Isn’t that stuff, obvious? Churches need to be more wiser in this area. This is very critical.
Matthew 27:54 – it’s pretty cringe to realize that, after causing all that harm, we need to be vigilant (Matthew 24:44)
Mark 2:17 – we think we are fine with our spiritual life with the Lord, so we don’t ask Him much for help, that’s a major danger
Mark 1:45 – to put this simply: are you able to openly talk about your faith? A lot of people, they aren’t willing to, especially within the church, let alone outside. If you are willing to openly share, people will respond to that, that multiplies ministries, by His Spirit.
Matthew 4:9 – constantly trying to get us to betray Christ. Why not just Luke 9:35, instead?
Mark 8:33 – exhortation is important, when you see Satan using someone, speak up. If you love that person. End with Luke 11:28.
Matthew 11:30, 26:41 NIV “is willing” – it is a lighter load, when we all work together for good with Christ, are you willing to deepen your walk with Christ (Luke 10:23)? Also, the reality that our flesh is pretty conducive to sins + temptations (Luke 8:25, 4:13, Mark 14:38, Luke 18:1). I’ll end with Matthew 9:37 and partnering with God’s concerns (Jonah 4:11).
Mark 9:50, 4:40, Matthew 3:8 and Luke 15:7 – let’s make Heaven rejoice (Jonah 3:8). Jesus the “light of life”, innately identifying their inward darknesses, where repentance is required (John 8:12 -> Matt. 8:26)
John 6:43 NIV – the stuff we get mad over, is that really worth our time?
John 1:10 + Hebrews 12:2 – what is your current recognition of Christ, during the week? What unspiritual habits are unfixing your gaze?
John 2:24 – we shouldn’t make people feel like this
John 5:17, 3:12, 6:63 – there is a masquerade also, where we occupy ourselves with unessentials that have no spiritual value, you have to know what those unholy voids are (John 7:24). Satan will use those things to magnetize you away from Christ. Hot -> Lukewarm -> Cold
Luke 4:13 – Satan is very opportunistic, and persuasive
Mark 5:36 – I have seen people who just live pretty much in fear, day in and day out, rather than live much at all by faith
Matt 4:10 – we need more spiritual discernment in this area; on what part is Satan’s agenda -> for example: grudging and exerting efforts in preventing spiritual growth + the sanctification of the congregation. This ultimately leads to obstructing further worship of the Lord and forward steps in serving Him, spiritually. Exhortation and discipline are also required.
2 Cor. 3:5 – *pats your forehead multiple times* ‘c’mon, you see how insufficient we really are, when we move away from what His Word says?’
Matt. 3:8 NIV, John 15:8 and Exodus 33:18-19 NIV – the main short story that I am currently working on involves a family with a father, mother and a son + myself as a narrator-friend of the son. The high value father figure is a device that I use to illustrate the ripple effects of unrepentant sins and unchanged unholy behaviours. I’m quilting together about how a “family” can be dissolved, along with the “house” that they live in, can become vacant because of the failure to practice regular repentance. It is around an hour so far, where I will do a stand-up storytelling in the genre of a Christian poetic dramedy (I made myself cry, laughing, at my own material). I’m covering this topic because people need awareness. In our current non-fiction reality: let’s look at the effects of what has happened so far, when we practice repentance regularly. I can pinpoint that many people are fascinated with God’s presence. Now, I want us to look at this very simply and clearly: there is no coincidence that more of His Life is discerned from many churches, as a result of the Spiritual power-move of repentance. As you sense the Divine reality of the Presence of God, to be a turning-point, in our time; let’s continue going with as much repentance, as possible on Sundays, in small groups, daily; permanently do weekly emails -> a) keep expanding their knowledge about what sins are, so they know what to repent about b) tell them to pray before they read the Bible, c) tell them to look for areas to work on as they read and to substantiate those changes into their lives through prayer, d) show them how to read the Bible and to turn it into prayer, etc. I provide ideas for your administration to think about -> https://spiritualplating.ca/a-recipe-for-growing-spiritual-with-christ-reading-the-bible-repenting-prayer/ This week is a critical juncture for making this decision. Let’s march under the Banner of Christ, and fill to the brim repentance into everyone’s lives, scheduled as many times as possible, permanently and continuously. Repentance worked, didn’t it? We need colossally more of it now, you will notice a colossal spiritual difference. Spend a lot of time on this to roll it out beautifully on Sunday! Unify as many churches as possible, in this united purpose on the detailed repentance above that can be expanded and tailored to their settings.
Matt. 12:28 – do you see demons exiting? Notice how you are happier and less tormented?
Hebrews 4:9-10 -> Hebrews 3:18-19. Having faith in Christ ought to derive a real rest in Him, the same trust Jesus has with God, when He rested on that boat, when it was stormy out with His disciples, in the face of death. I discern that this is a major issue that needs inward change and asking of the Lord for help -> “Lord, I repent for not trusting you and being situational, help me be more faithful to you, at all times, and strengthen my steadfastness in you, I thank you and ask in Jesus name.” I believe the Lord is leading me to Mark 2:5 right now, our spiritual mobility can be seen as paralyzed, by our lack of faith, and with that inward paralysis, there isn’t much spiritual movement in our ministries. For example, do you believe that He can do all things, in your top 3 most requested prayers? That He can change your situation? People in the Bible had to be bold in the faith, their beliefs had to be taken further, and stretched like pulling clay with one hand and the other, farther apart, each time; whether they actually believed or not. God is doing the same with us. If you look at certain situations in the Bible, where it “looked” like an impossible problem, God was outworking the principle of Romans 15:13, trying to establish within us this growing steadfastness in Him that has a peace and rest to it, so that when trials or difficulties come, we are still unmoved in our faith in Him to a point that we are even joyful (James 1:2-4).
Luke 9:50 and 2 Chronicles 5:13 – “one” – more practice of love to deal with divisions. Imagine a human being punching and kicking himself. That’s like division and a lack of love toward the Body of Christ (Romans 12:4-5). End here with John 17:22 – let’s fight with a united and a unified purpose, against the correct opponent.
Neh. 9:20 – worth praying for
2 Chronicles 15:1 – God can bring about change.
Gen. 1:2 – God didn’t like the scene, so He did something about it.
John 11:25 – how I know for sure, that Jesus resurrected is pretty simple. I see Him work in my inward life, and the spiritual lives of others.
Luke 24:31 – I see this verse, as a reminder that He is with us, if we spiritually see enough into the details, we will find Him.
Psalm 71:20 – when God brings us through difficulties, it seems like it was meant to discover who He is, in a more beautiful way than we could imagine, changing our conceptions of what we thought He was (Job 42:5 and Phil. 3:10).
Romans 12:10 – I went to a Christian party, where we ate toast, etc and had a campfire. Yes, it was low-budget but I learned something. Someone there, even though there were tons of food there, took the burnt pieces of toast, so others could have nice pieces. I would like churches to have a desire to prioritize caring for each other (Gal. 5:13).
Hosea 11:4 – children ministry taught me so much
1 Samuel 18:1 NKJV – we are suppose to love each other, a spiritual unity -> Col. 2:2 KJV, 2:19 KJV
Joshua 22:5 – “Take careful heed”
Gen. 1:3-4 – it is a very good thing, to take what you read in the Bible (Psalm 119:105), with God’s grace and leading, to show people, the way of fruitfulness, rather than have them waste their energies on other areas that are unfruitful (2 Samuel 22:29). It does feel like the unspiritual dark ages, sometimes but we are coming out of that. More exhortations and admonishments (Psalm 43:3). We can also follow His objective in John 8:12.
Micah 7:7 -> John 1:14 – we need to look to the Word more, when I think about all these social media platforms and the guidances that Christians follow, instead -apart from God’s timing. I discern that they aren’t trusting the Lord, as a root-cause of their spiritual malady. This is an important lesson that the Lord is teaching them, sometimes repeatedly.
Psalm 119:114 – I do find that with a lower amount of Bible-intake, people in the congregation are more hopeless than they need to be.
Judges 7:20 NKJV – “the Sword of the Lord” – what was the outcome of that? Victory? That’s why getting people to read the Bible is important, aside from the idea of the Bible, and why God gives us a Bible, etc. I rarely hear the speaker telling the congregation to read more of the Bible. We use our fingers to read the Bible (Psalm 144:1).
Gen. 6:22 and Exodus 24:7 – Satan exhausts SO much effort, in preventing us from moving in His Words.
Phil. 4:6-7 – when we fret or become anxious, our minds swirl with emotions and thinking, to a point that our reflections loses its spiritual composure and Paul reminds us how to reframe our meditations with the Lord; from his experience, inspired by the Holy Spirit.
John 15:7 and Job 42:2 – “my words abide in you, you will ask what you desire.” If God’s Word does increasingly abide in us, our desires would attune with His, “and it shall be done” (Psalm 40:8).
Luke 11:1 NKJV – “Lord, teach me to pray.”
Eph. 1:9-10 – “gather together” -> deserves a lot of meditations. It is critically important to motivate the congregation to read the Word more and more. 2 Tim. 3:16-17 speaks for itself. Spiritual talents, gifts and all those good things of the Spirit will be more + more inspired, if administrations use a “carrot and stick” metaphor to get them spiritually consuming God’s Word more, praying those verses into reality that need work, etc.
Matt. 25:21 – Are we practicing sin with His deposit? Imagine if this happens Mark 13:33-35, ‘what are you doing, in your ministry?’ -> Romans 13:12. How can God give us more responsibilities? If we don’t use what He entrusts us with, properly? Luke 19:17.
Col. 3:16 – needed: more richly dwelling of His Words, imagine every single person unsheathing a spiritual sword in the church. Even telling administrations to encourage their churches to do that is a recipe for disaster against the Forces of Evil. Which is why the Adversary and His Hosts are so successful in persuading even Christian leaderships, to do otherwise. Are you being tricked by Satan to derail generational glory to Christ (Eph. 3:20-21)? You see how much unholy resources Satan has invested to barricade churches from spiritually moving in this area of telling the church to simply read more of God’s Word? It’s like a parallel universe with 1 Samuel 3:1. I do discern Satan’s movement here, we have to counter. Aren’t churches suppose to tell people to read the Bible? You see what’s going on behind the scenes here? Something very unspiritually sinister, parts of Matt. 13:19 before our eyes, Satan attempting to stop spiritual increase, through the prevention of the Word. We must take actions against this, very fast. This is a real spiritual danger that isn’t good for the future of God’s people, if we let this continue.
Rev. 3:21 – ‘are you trying to overcome the spiritual good, with the unspiritual evil?’ that’s a way of reviewing our actions.
1 John 4:4 – Satan bluffs a lot and gaslights, assuming the fake idea that the Devil has more power than God about the future.
Acts 7:48-49 – *thumbs tapping*
Numbers 14:21 – what do you value? For me, children ministry is something that I actually enjoy. I spent so much time talking to them that I became childlike. I believed that I could change the future, by teaching them everything that I could. The way I read the Bible, ways to pray, and etc. I didn’t mind giving up my weekends for them. I sometimes wonder why, what motivates me so much to talk about the Lord. I do believe that this verse in Num., with Christ living in me (Gal. 2:20) is why. He is carrying out in His plan for me in a small or large role in filling the earth with His glory. Satan will make you devalue everything about Jesus (Rev. 2:4). The unspiritual encroachment of Satan is close to its worst, when we refuse to pray, even if the Holy Spirit compels us to. We must ask the Lord to deal with this, to restore that first love we had for Him.
Gen. 15:6 and Matt. 13:58 – A LOT of spiritual movements, callings, and other miracles, aren’t happening because of the power of constant living in doubts in Christ and seeing Him as unfaithful (Psalm 27:13-14) to do anything (Mark 6:5-6). Unbelief doesn’t generate glory for God (John 11:40). We shouldn’t push God’s patience, imagine taking 50 retests of a roadtest because we fail to learn from a small section of the Bible. This is a major problem, here; that needs more work. Sometimes, we just need to grasp a few things at minimum -if you can grasp them all that’s better, that God teaches us in a specific situation that can destroy unspiritual mountains of areas in dark realms and strongholds encamped against His people (2 Cor. 10:3-4, Matt. 17:20).
Exodus 4:22 – let’s consider this allegory of God’s love toward His people. If I were to have a child, I would love that child, keep my eye on that child, and feed that child. So if you can imagine someone trying to bully that child or mistreat that child, apart from my discipline or consent; I wouldn’t be happy. God’s people need to love each other, just as He loves us (1 John 3:1). Remember Eph. 4:27, don’t play into Satan’s hand (1 Peter. 4:8).
Exodus 13:21 – inward guidance, we need inward guidance. Avoid earthly approaches, like using certain platforms for advice, stuff like that can also oppose what the Word says (Zech. 4:6).
