 Matters Of The Heart - Be Not Deceived Hello Everyone, This is Pastor Rick with a request that you click the "Send To A Friend" link, or Subscribe Box (Click Here) on the left and make sure that any friends, who have ever been deceived by the enemy understands how he operates.
In John 10:10 Jesus describes how His sheep are attacked by the enemy who tries to rob them of the abundant life He wants to give them. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. The abundant life is a picture of the believer who understands his position in Jesus and goes about daily exercising his royal duties. The key to that way of living is knowing that he knows he has been declared Righteous. Destroy that knowledge and all that is left is a saved believer trying his best to live life in the flesh. This is where deception enters the picture. The enemy will try to remind you of all the times in the past you missed the mark. He will try to make you doubt that God could ever use someone like you. He will encourage you to beg daily that God would help you clean up your act and condemn you every time you try. Have you ever experienced thoughts like these? That’s deception! And it’s very dangerous. That kind of thinking denies the power of the blood and the promise of God’s Word that If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1John 1:9) For Romans 8:1 assures us There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. So say with me I stand in the finished work of Jesus Christ, a righteous (man/woman.) The enemy cannot deceive me, for I have the mind of Christ and walk in His righteousness. And remember, friend, we're standing with you and believing God for His very best in every area of your life - and that includes your complete prosperity.
