It's About You, Child of God

It's about you. It's not about anyone or anybody else.  It's about you, Child of God.  It's about your reaction, your response, your thoughts. You are your enemy. The bible tells us that Satan and his cohorts have no power or authority over a child of God.  Every attack against a child of God is to cause a disruption in your flesh....your thoughts, your actions, your emotions...are you keeping up?  

The Word of God tells us that before you were formed in the womb (Jeremiah 1; Psalm 139) God knew you.  The Word of God tells us that those God foreknew He also predestinated. (Romans 8) That means that everything that has taken place in your life since you came out of the womb was ordained by God.  Don't feel ashamed. Dont boast or be bragadocious. God has put your sins as far away from you as the east is from the west, never to rise again. (Psalm 103)  No contrived accusation, no slander, no lie, no mocking and no mimicking--no weapon formed against you shall prosper. (Isaiah 54)  Greater is He who is in You than He who is in the World (1 John 4). Jesus told us that in the world we shall have tribulation (John 16) but to be of good cheer because He has overcome the world. Jesus told us to not think it strange when these firey trials come upon us (1 Peter 4) because He has already told us that they would. There is nothing happening or that has happened or that will happen in the life of a Child of God that God does not already know. The Lord knows our thoughts before we even think them. (Psalm 139) There is no temptation common to man that Jesus has not already made a way of escape (1 Corinthians 10).

The Lord does all things well. Take God at His Word. He cannot fail and He will not lie.  (Hebrews 6)  His Word will accomplish that which He set it forth to do and it will not return to Him void (Isaiah 55).  The work that the Lord has begun in you, He will perform it until the day Christ Jesus calls you home or until Christ Jesus returns; whichever comes first.  You belong to the Lord. Your biggest challenge; your biggest struggle will be/is to humble yourself before God and hu(man). 

If you have not done so already, repent, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the Spirit of God (1 Corinthians chapters 12, 13, and 14) and gift of the Holy Ghost. (Acts 2) For John truly baptized with water; but you shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days after. (Acts 1) Jesus said, "except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." (John 3)

If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior but have not experienced the spiritual gift of speaking in unknown tongues as the Spirit of God gives utterance (1 Corinthians chapters 12, 13, and 14) pray and ask God to bless you with this heavenly gift and He will.  (Acts 2; 1 Corinthians 14)
