Happy Easter to all!!!!!

     

The Lord is saying. My beloved, walk on what you know is right. My word will not fail, cannot fail, impossible to fail. Walk on knowing that victory is sure. Walk on knowing that my plans for you are good and not of disaster. Walk on knowing that Ihave come to give you life and life in abundance and that your destiny I have planned will surely come to pass. Walk on with your head held high knowing I am your Father and you are my child. Have no fear.

 

 

"Dear friends, don't be surprised by the fiery troubles that are coming in order to test you. Don't feel as though something strange is happening to you" Peter 4: 13

Jesus said in Mark 4:15 "These are the ones who are beside the road where the word is sown; and when they hear, immediately Satan comes and takes away the word which has been sown in them

 

The devil's only aim is to steal the word.

One thing you can be sure about.... the devil is always and only after taking the word out of people's hearts. He knows that if we start to understand who we are and what we have in Christ.... he's finished.... When we take the word of God and believe it and let it bear fruit in our lives, his (the devil's) kingdom is greatly undermined and damaged. You can be certain of one thing, that when you have had a glorious time with the Lord and He has given you some wonderful promise...... you are in for a fight. The great fight of faith..

If we have understood the promise and taken heed to it, the devil can't swoop down and devour the word. So.....the next thing he will try is to send offense so we will harden our hearts and the word cannot take a firm root in our hearts. If he cannot do that he will try to choke the word with the deceit of riches and cares and worries of this world.

We need to be so determined, even more so than the enemy of our souls and hold tight to the word, just like it is the most precious pearl (as indeed it is more precious than gold silver or any precious stone).

If we want to overcome we must:

1. Understand the promise, meditate on it. feed it.
2. Keep forgiving and keep loving so the ground of our hearts remains soft and
   'seed-nourishing'.
3. We need to give priority to the word, make it first place in our hearts
   instead of worrying about other things.

 

Matthew 6:31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. 33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you..

John 15: 7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. 8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
