Setting Your Mind on God
Setting Your Mind on God
For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and... Read more...
Paying Zero Attention
Paying Zero Attention
"Sir," asked the demon who was tiny but had a large voice. "What do YOU want," demanded the demon in charge whose name escapes me. "I found someone I can dominate. I'm sure of it. Look." The tiny demon with the large voice pointed at a man sitting in a comfy chair. The man was... Read more...
Slapping the Devil
Slapping the Devil
What situation in your life begs God to enter? Something you have zero control over? I know, you have control over your reactions, but not over the actions or responses of others. You have no control how other people will react or sometimes not even care. You also have no control over circumstances thrown your... Read more...
Running to the Father
Running to the Father
God created you. He created you perfectly for His purposes. His purposes are higher than ours, so rest assured, your life is meant for good. Your life is set up to bring God glory, while influencing others as only you can. You are unique, designed with a purpose. When God created you, He set out... Read more...
Shrink Back or Stand Up
Shrink Back or Stand Up
But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and preserve their souls. Hebrews 10:39 Do you shrink back when life becomes rough? When insults are hurled do you recoil? When you are misunderstood, do you shrink back into nothing? When you shrink back, you are... Read more...
Healed
Healed
I'm struggling. Not been myself for years. Everyday it's the same song. I wake up hoping I've been healed. My Jewish faith has always been central in my family. I keep the laws, heading to the tabernacle when my sacrifice is due. We've waited for the Messiah my whole life. Actually for generations now. Sometimes... Read more...
Constant Decisions
Constant Decisions
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. James 4:7 When you choose to place God in control of your life, He covers you. His power, love, and grace flow into you when you submit. Only when you choose to submit, because it's a choice. Doesn't say we only... Read more...
Measuring Life
Measuring Life
Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, whom we acknowledge as our apostle and high priest. Hebrews 3:1 What do you measure your life with? The yardstick of worldly success, fame, or money? The ruler of putting yourself first? Counting your possessions, 401k statement or stock market? Or just... Read more...
Watching You
Watching You
Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. 1 Peter 5:8 I've watched him for years. Actually since birth. I've seen him grow into the young man he is today. Witnessing his disappointments, I've gotten to know his weak spots. Areas I can press him into walking towards sin.... Read more...
Whispering Dark Thoughts
Whispering Dark Thoughts
The demon in charge, whose name escapes me, is upset. He's a champion for the dark side. Here is his rant. I am discouraged. First the overturn of Roe vs Wade. Good grief, it was so utterly easy deceiving Americans for almost 50 years now. Guess we relaxed our efforts too much, thinking the law... Read more...
Justified Sin
Justified Sin
It's just the way I am. It's how God created me. Nothing I can do about it. How do you justify sin in your life? Could be as simple as overeating or having one too many drinks. But I deserve it, you might say. Deserve what? Altering your body size or clarity of mind as... Read more...
Slamming Open Doors
Slamming Open Doors
How often do you slam doors God has opened for you? Often? Never? What does it look like when we slam a door opened by God? Selfishness. Pride. All points back to us, wanting to be in control. Thinking we know best. Better than anyone else, including God. A thought pops into your head to... Read more...
