Good Morning!

 

In Friday's Encouragement, I listed some things that all of us have experienced from time to time in our lives, but now it is "time" to find out how we can eliminate those things. I encourage you to refer back to that list, because The Lord is going to address each one of them, and show us how to "counter-attack" all of the "attacks" of the enemy!  His Covenant WORD will not only "set" us free from all of these things, but it will also "keep" us free from them. "Whom the Son has set FREE is FREE INDEED"! (John 8:36)

 

All of the things that I listed are nothing but pieces of "garbage and trash" that the devil wants to dump on us!  Now hear this, devil~~~~we are not "dumpsters" to receive your trash and garbage!  We are children of The Most High God and we have a COVENANT with Him.  So, we will take His COVENANT "WORD", which is the "sword of the Spirit" and resist you.  We will put your trash and garbage in God's Holy "shredder" and "incinerator"!  You will become "ashes under our feet"!  He gave us THAT Covenant promise in Malachi 4:3, and we take His Word and come against you!  Now this may seem strange to all of you that I am "talking" to the devil, but that is how we "resist" him, as we are told to do in James 4:7

 

You know what?  We are not supposed to be "listening" to the devil's lies....we should be making him "listen" to us!  Which reminds me of a song that the Lord gave me to write....allow me to share some of it with you~~~~~~

 

    YOU DON'T HAVE TO LISTEN TO THE devil....THERE IS SOMETHING YOU CAN DO;

    JUST OPEN YOUR MOUTH AND SPEAK GOD'S WORD, AND MAKE THE devil LISTEN TO YOU!

    MAKE him LISTEN TO..."IT IS WRITTEN"!  MAKE him LISTEN TO..."THUS SAITH THE LORD"!

    INSTEAD OF LISTENING TO THE devil, MAKE THE devil LISTEN TO YOU!

 

There are more verses to this song, but this is the one that The Lord wanted me to share in this Encouragement.  All of the things that I listed in yesterday's Encouragement are things that started with a "thought" that the enemy was whispering in your ear in order to put it in your mind!  That is why we need to become COVENANT-minded!  I encourage you to think about what the Holy Spirit has said in this Encouragement, when we start looking at all the things that He listed in my last Encouragement.   Remember, no Encouragement tomorrow...I will be back Wednesday!
