Resist

Beloved:

“Resist the devil” (James 4:7b, KJV). WHY? Because as Pastor James Smith says in his book DAILY REMEMBRANCES: “EVERY believer MUST expect to be visited by Satan; he is our adversary; he is always watching for an opportunity to injure us. He first tempts us to sin, and then accuses us of sinning. He misrepresents every subject. He endeavors to make the world appear lovely and sin thrilling; he generates hard thoughts of God, perverts His Holy Word, and leads believers into bondage. His fiery darts are very terrible. Thoughts the most blasphemous, horrible, and unnatural, are often thrown into the mind by him; and then he lays them to our charge, and distresses our souls on account of them.'

"But we are called upon to Resist him steadfast in the faith, believing what God is to us; what Christ has done for us; what He has promised to give us; and that God will bruise him under our feet shortly (Romans 16:20, KJV). The triumphing of this WICKED ONE is but short; for we shall overcome him by the blood of the Lamb, and word of His testimony (Revelation 12:11, KJV). Look to Jesus, call upon thy God, and oppose the blood and righteousness of Jesus to all his charges. He is mighty, but thy Jesus is ALMIGHTY. Take this shield of faith, and thou shalt quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one (Ephesians 6:16, KJV).”

Thank YOU for being so VERY FAITHFUL with YOUR Love, Prayers and Gifts. Please, Please know I love YOU dearly in our Wonderful Lord Jesus.

Now a Word from HIS WORD: “Greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world”--1 John 4:4b (KJV).
