Orders are rules of play. King Jesus said, “As the Father has sent me, I am sending you” (John 20:21). We can learn the rules of play, if we read in the Bible […] http://faithgateway.com/did-devil-really-make-me-do-it/ 2013-10-31T06:00:04-05:00 No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it. — 1 Corinthians 10:13 Early on in my […] http://faithgateway.com/satan-is-doomed/ 2013-10-30T06:00:05-05:00 The weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds. — 2 Corinthians 10:4 The ultimate victory has been won at Calvary, but it will be implemented in the future. The sentence has been passed; now it needs to be enforced. The enforcement is in the hands of the church.

You are no match for him. But My Spirit is in you, […] http://faithgateway.com/are-you-under-attack-god-is-with-you/ 2013-10-04T14:43:43-05:00 Editor’s Note: Today’s devotional is excerpted from Anything: the Prayer that Unlocked My God and My Soul by Jennie Allen. Caught in this familiar haze of worldly happiness and empty pursuits, Jennie Allen and her husband Zac prayed a courageous prayer of abandonment that took them on an adventure God had written for them. “God, we will do anything. Anything,” they […] http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hindrances/panic-in-hell-6717 2012-10-09T10:43:32-05:00 the Devil is luring you, he's desperately doing whatever it takes to pull you away from Jesus; to get your focus somewhere else. But if you fight back in Jesus' name, there'll be even more panic in hell. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/wasted-bullets-6708 2012-09-26T14:23:00-05:00 Our last resort, usually, is prevailing prayer. The kind when we get on our knees, we confess our total bankruptcy in the situation, we surrender all our schemes, we allow a total Holy Spirit takeover, we invoke the cross and the blood of Christ against our enemy. When you do that, Satan crumbles to his knees. He's rendered powerless by the spiritual kryptonite of fervent prayer. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hindrances/the-double-agent-in-your-life-6669 2012-08-06T15:56:21-05:00 You have to decide whose agent your thorn will be.

A hell which could be cancelled only one way. It took the Son of God Himself taking your hell; taking your punishment for you. You did the sinning, but Jesus did the dying. When a rescuer extends his hand to you in a burning or collapsed building, you don't wait to grab it. Your chance to live is now. http://delveintojesus.com/Articles/84/Why-Did-God-Create-Satan.aspx 2010-01-20T17:48:07-05:00 God created all things in the beginning, including Satan. Why would God deliberately create something so evil and powerful?
