STOP! Entertaining the devil!

• Sub-Topic: How could you forget GOD?)?

Ephesians 4:27 (Read Eph 4:26-28)

I asked, the Holy Spirit what to tell the people today and he said, "Tell them to STOP, Entertaining the Devil"

• When you refuse to acknowledge those big or little things that hinder you.
• When you give in to the Flesh.
• When you hold on to stuff (The past, bitterness, anger, resentment, grudges)
• When you compromise with the Flesh. (Your Feelings will fool you)
• When you Shrug off Conviction; When you Shrug off the Truth

YOU ARE ENTERTAINING THE DEVIL!!

Let's take a closer look. Here's some things to be aware of:

To entertain: To give attention or consideration to (An idea, suggestion or feeling.)

 Power of Suggestion:

Suggestion is the psychological process  by  which one person guides the thoughts, feelings or behavior of another.

EX. Suggestion

A rabbits foot=The suggestion that you will obtain or have luck

A glass of wine =suggests that you are being social, alleviate depression, or will have a good time

A pill= suggest that it will make you feel better, your pain will go away, or heal you

What are the wiles of the devil (Eph 6:11):

The wiles of the devil are devious or cunning stratagems employed in manipulating or persuading someone to do what he/she wants through lure or enticement.

Discouragement, confusion, indifference, doubt, influence come from the enemy.

What we expect influences our behaviors for better or for the worse.

1. The devil exaggerates the pleasures of sin Heb
   
   11:24,25 to lay a trap to sin after which when the enemy has lured you into sin; brings condemnation.
2. If he sees an opening (even a crack in the door) he will enter in through mood and emotion Eph 4:26 "I know, I shouldn't drink but, I was depressed."
3. The devil will use people to lead astray friends, family and co-workers * Col 2:4
4. The devil will influence you through believing God is not going to come through in time and as a result you take matters into you own hands through your own ideology of a fix for your situation or trouble.

Don't let Hell have the Harvest Heaven Gave you. Joshua 18:3; Deut 1:8

We allow the enemy to steal our harvest through 4 types of people in the church

• A lazy person thinks they do not have to put any action to their faith that all is needed is for them to sit there.
• A conceited, person will never get anywhere usually, because they think that they are already there
• A comfortable person believes as long as they have been faithful and perfect the position  they are in - That a new level or realm is unnecessary and are unwilling to grow past where they are
• A lukewarm, person believe that they can play both sides and still be blessed.

Can't you see people of God that you are entertaining the devil? You are being hoodwinked by the enemy. The enemy has set a trap for you and you have fallen for the Okie Doke, there is no new age Christianity but, I can tell you- You are falling for the age of Apostasy. You  STOP following what folks do and, follow the word of God, you have no defense against the enemy when you do not study the word, you cannot grasp the word of truth if you have no root in you; You entertain the enemy through friendships with unsaved, by allowing the enemy to speak to your mind, through church hopping,

Tomorrow Part 2 Stop! Entertaining the Devil

How could you forget God by giving way to the enemy??

MY PEARL OF WISDOM FOR TODAY!

YOU ARE A  RARE PEARL!!

THERE IS NO OTHER LIKE YOU!!

Ladies, who you are is a Precious Pearl: If you give yourself to one man you will end up giving yourself to many because, a man will not value you until you put the Brakes on!
Make him see who you are; Make him get to know YOU; Make him understand there is a standard that comes with you the nature of a man is to seek you out. The pattern of a man is to Hunt the bible tells you that:

Proverbs 18:22 Whosoever findeth a wife findeth a good thing and obtaineth the favor of the Lord.
When a Hunter, goes out and hunts the deer, rabbit, etc., they do not stand there and be captured NO if they want it they must work for it! STOP making yourself easy for these men; some of you not leaving them anything to respect and they will trample over you when  they are done only to move to the next one. 

YOU want a Good Man? 

Show him your Worth, not your Business!!

IF and When you come across that one that will not pursue you guess what, HE AIN'T THE ONE!! but, that means there is still someone out there that is. There is a lot of benefit to lifting up a standard. IT Allows you to see who they are as well( Their true colors). If You have ever met someone and said, if I had it to do over again, I would not. Guess who's fault that was? So, now that you have it to do over again do it the right way this time. Isn't is something, that the Bible says, do not give what is Holy to dogs. (What do we call them when they break our little hearts, (Dogs) Ding, Ding, Ding 
All men are Not dogs, a person is only going to do what you allow.

Know your Worth, it will save you A lot of Drama!

Stop, Romanticizing about Sinful Lifestyles!

 Stop, Romanticizing about Sinful Lifestyles!

Psalm 37:1 (AMPC)

 Fret not yourself because of evildoers, neither be envious against those who work unrighteousness (that which is not upright or in right standing with God). Read Ps 37:1-11

When It May look like the wicked are winning. Know that, The wealth of the sinner is laid up for the righteous. Proverbs 13:22; Read Psalms 73

DO NOT COMPARE or be ENVIOUS of Material Goods the World Acquires!

Deuteronomy 8:18, “But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that the may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.” -
