daily prayer

  Good morning! How are we faithing? We were talking about wisdom yesterday and how we gain it. Here is a difficult thing to do alot of times in our walk with God. Things that seem logical or upright can come at us to deceive. The enemy is smart simply due to experience. He also is the father of lies thus deceit is his nature. This knowledge prompts us to analyze any rationalization to thought that is contrary to sound scripture. I'm as guilty as anyone so don't ever get offended when a wrong committed is brought to your attention. Learn why you did it. Learn to see truth without condemnation. We've said it before, Jesus convicts, the enemy accuses. Temptation ain't a sin. Being tempted is happening every day. What you do about that temptation determines sin or not. When a thought enters your mind, take it captive to see if it is good or not. Getting angry and then the thought of retaliation because you can get them before they get you is not scriptural or even wise. Rebuking that thought and not acting on it in the right thing to do. If you play with that thought long enough, you will act on it and sin is born. Guess what? That will grow and before you know it, you will react and retaliate without thinking. As a man thinks so he does. We are right smack in the midst of the enemies territory therefore we must stay alert with our minds or we will fall into stuff we don't even mean to. Just think today when errant thoughts seem to show up...cause they do...

2 Corinthians 10:4-7

  for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ, and we are ready to punish all disobedience, whenever your obedience is complete. You are looking at things as they are outwardly. If anyone is confident in himself that he is Christ's, let him consider this again within himself, that just as he is Christ's, so also are we.
NAS

Psalms 110:2
The LORD will stretch forth Thy strong scepter from Zion, saying,
"Rule in the midst of Thine enemies."
NAS

remember Cassie and Benjamin...
 
Heavenly Father, In the name of Jesus we rebuke satan and his minion. We stand on your Word and use it to defend our minds. Lord we ask for strength of mind so we may recognise when lies are flying at us. Lord we ask for deliverance for Cassie. Grab her and protect her and her family. Lord we praise your name and seek you in all we do and say. Lord we lift Butch to you, heal his body and mind. Thank you for revelation from your Word in Jesus name, amen
