There are times when you can honestly say that you found a true nugget in Gods word that just lifts your heart and gets to your heart quick and powerful. Well today is one of those days! I woke up this morning and Sue got up with me, we wanted to write Leah valentines cards each day for the next 14 days and place them in something that Sue made. I wrote mine on a card that was 3D in effect, if you look at it one way it had a puppy and kitten on it, when you move it another way it had a heart on it with writing on it. After we were done I got into the word and the Lord led me to Luke 10:18 which reads- 18And He said to them, I SAW Satan falling like a lightning [flash] from heaven.
Jesus was talking to disciples that had been out doing ministry and they were amazed that the satanic spirits were subject to them. Don't miss it here, they were amazed at it but Jesus saw satan as a fallen defeated foe! How do we view satan? Do we look at him one way and allow him to defeat us with worry, fear, habits, etc? Or do we look at him like Jesus, as fallen? The next verse Jesus tells the people- Behold! I have given you authority and power to trample upon serpents and scorpions, and [physical and mental strength and ability] over all the power that the enemy [possesses]; and nothing shall in any way harm you.
Today turn the 3D card that satan has handed you! Look at him in light of Gods word, in light of eternity. My wife has contacts to better help her see, I need the powerful lenses of Gods word to see through, to better see the enemy and my own life. So the question today is, Hows your vision? Its time to stop telling God how big our problems are, and start telling our problems how big our God is! Be blessed!
Nothing more to say but "AMEN"!
ReplyDeleteJust amazing! What you shared with us this morning is exactely what the Lord has been reminding me for the last few days as I hear of attacks on family and close friends subjected to satan's attacks on their health, finances, jobs situations, etc... But when you really think about it, we are only "subject" when We LET ourselves be dominated and controlled by a certain person, power or circumstances! The devil IS already defeated, already fallen, so all we need to do is ask our awesome Father to help us react WITH His promises in Jesus's name!
ReplyDeleteLike Deanna, I am SOOOOO grateful for your willingness to share what the Lord places on your heart with the reset of us through this blog - It is really helping me to be moer focused and extremely encouraged! Love you guys and bless you. m.j. :-)
Thats great! Remember that when you allow feelings from satan of anxiety, self doubt, and inadequacy into your life with no buffer, you are limiting the almighty GOD and his power. satans power is limitled ONLY to this world, while Jesus reigns above ALL things seen or unseen, dead or alive. His power and love are limitless and exceeds abundantly above all that we could ask or think.. haha... Thats pretty good. HALLELUJAH!!
