CD 1659 “Resisting - Righting - Resting”
August 19, 2024 A.M.
It’s amazing to me how we, the Church of the Living God, let the devil intimidate us on a daily basis! Jesus Himself promised us that the gates of Hell shall NOT prevail - get the victory over us! At all times we must understand what spirit we are listening to, or under the influence of! See the devil brings smokescreens and situations that seem like the Savior misrepresented His authority! The enemy and his cohorts work diligently trying to get God’s church to accept that their situation is just God’s will for their lives! This morning we are going to learn from the Word of God the truth for us to live in.. We must follow the Word wholly and then we will enter into His promises! The end of every journey comes step by step, and in this message we will look at these 3 steps:“Resisting - Righting - Resting”!
*Text Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, 16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; 17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: 18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, 19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, 20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, 21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:22 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, 23 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
#1 Resisting -
*James 4:7 (KJV) Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist (to oppose) the devil, and he will flee from you.
Oh what a promise to live by! In our submission we are opposing every attack the devil has to work against our flesh! Soon he flees from us, looking for someone else to devour! Speaking of devour please turn to 1 Peter chapter 5 please:,
*1 Peter 5:6-10 (KJV) Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: 7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. 8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary (an opponent in a lawsuit) the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 9 Whom resist (to oppose) stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. 10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
Here James and Peter give us the keys to being able to “Resist (to oppose) the devil” - “ Submit yourselves ” and “ Humble yourselves”! Our victory is assured when we are living by the Word of God!
Can you imagine how close to home this word from Peter was about the adversary? Jesus had warned Peter but he was full of pride in
