Strength to Win the Battle

When I was a beginning Christian, I had started helping in the children Sunday school class at Victory Church. I was probably around 15-16 years old.  There was a 5 year little boy, who told me something, that I think about each day. It was the best advice I have gotten in a long time. I hope this advice helps you. Yes a 5 year old can give the most amazingly godly wisdom. He told me Miss. Felicia, your greatest battle, is to defeat Satan everyday. WOW! That is some strong words. But it is so true.

Everyday we plant our feet on the ground is a battle field against Satan.  Satan wants us to disobey God, so when choices lay ahead of us, he is going to push us in the disobedient direction.

We have a free will to choose what we want to do, God gives us that. The question is, are you going to choose what God wants or what you want. Sadly I have made some of those choices, I choose the wrong path. But I will tell you, It didn't take long to realize, I knew I needed to turn around.

God can give us the strength and the ability to make the right choices. That is why he gave us a guide, it’s called, The Bible. It has all the answer we need, to make the right chose.

Here are a few examples:

1) Sadly so many think it is ok to look at another person, when they are married. They think it ok to look. Well God’s word says.

Matthew 5;27-28 

 “You have heard that it was said to those of old,^[a] ‘You shall not commit adultery.’^{[b] 28} But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

2) I am one of the many who thought it was ok to make fun of someone. I will admit it. I believe we all have. You all remember that rule in school, treat others they way you want to be treated. I remember that. It was not, until I started studying the bible. I learned what is in God word, he is the one that stated that, 


Luke 6:31
And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them like

3) Also I will admit to this one, I have lied in my years. The bible also says.

Leviticus 19:11

Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another.

 

4) But most of all, the bible stated how important it is to say yes to Jesus. Because so many choose not to, their are major consequences. If you don't choose Jesus, you will be in God's jail. Yeap, Hell is God's jail, but there is no getting out.  The warden is Satan!! And when someone goes there, Satan sadly has won.

Revelation 20:15

 And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.

 

Here is a verse about Saying Yes to Jesus! Let Jesus Win!!

John 3:16

 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

 

So see choices are all around. Yes we have free will to chose. If you are at a point in life were you have to make a choice that is hard, trust God to give you the strength to make the right one. His word has lots of example of men and women who had to make choices. It all comes down to many having to trust God to help them make the right choices. Sometime some of the people had their lives in the balances.

So are you ready to defeat Satan today? Let God be in charge and you will see Satan be defeated.

Lets Battle!! I chose Jesus!!!

Jesus Loves You
