DON’T
LET WORLDLY NEWS CONTROL YOU
1 John 5:18
18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth
not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one
toucheth him not.
Whoever is born of God sins not unto death. If you are born again your
spirit is kept from the wicked one Satan. He has no power over the Christians.
We belong to Christ Jesus; we have been recreated into a new being and
our spirit is sealed by the Holy Spirit.
John 17:9-11 9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou
hast given me; for they are thine.
10 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am
glorified in them.
11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the
world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom
thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.
This verse is referring to Jesus
praying to the Father because he was going to heaven to take his place with God
the Father. He is interceding on his people’s behalf. Saying I am no more in
the world. Jesus knew the enemy would come against the disciples and try to
destroy them.
He also knew that the ones that
received Him as Lord and savior would also be in danger. This is why we have
the whole armor of God for protection.
Ephesians 6:10-12 10 Finally, my brethren, be
strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to
stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against
principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this
world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Luke 4:10 10 For it is written, He shall give his angels
charge over thee, to keep thee:
Job 1:10 10 Hast not thou made an
hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side?
thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the
land.
We have the whole
armor; the angels and the hedge God covers us with. In no way should the
believer have fear.
2 Timothy
1:7 7 For God hath not
given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
The spirit of
fear is not from God. it is an evil spirit of Satan used to disrupt the God
given faith in us. Its purpose is to cause doubt and unbelief.
Satan has used
this tool of fear to keep people, even Christians, from fulfilling Gods purpose
for them on earth. Even churches are afraid to come against Satan and cast
demons out of people.
Its time people
woke up and take the power and authority God has given us and bind Satan out of
their life.
Satan has no
power over a believer and no permission from God to tread on the believer.
Because your
spirit is sealed Satan can not touch it. The Holy Spirit sealed your spirit
when you made Jesus the Lord of your life. He will try to deceive your soul
which is made up of your mind, will, and emotion.
Satan is prepared
to fight for your soul. Are you willing to fight back?
Even though we
are not of this world we still live in it and until the rapture or natural
death we have to deal with the problems that come against us in this world.
Satan comes to
steal, kill and destroy. He wants to steal the truth of God from you, to kill
everything good that comes from God, and to destroy anything and anybody who
accepts the Word of God.
Because we are in
the last days and Satan has only a short time left, he will work harder than
ever to confuse and steal the word of God from the believers.
We can see in the
news of today that people are out of control, they are not thinking of God and
their eternal soul, they are ruled and guided by the world.
Don’t focus on
the evil going on in the world today, remember you are not of this world. Your
eternal home is in heaven.
John 17:16 16 They are not of the
world, even as I am not of the world.
This is the word
of our Lord. Even now I see the separating of the sheep and the goats that the
Word speaks of.
Mathew 25:31-34 31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy
angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he
shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the
goats:
33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the
goats on the left.
Mathew 25:41 41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left
hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil
and his angels:
This is at the
Judgement of the nations which will commence at the onset of the kingdom age.
He shall set his
sheep on His right hand refers to the people which would not co operate with
the satanic government.
Matthew
7:21-23 21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the
kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we
not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy
name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you:
depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
We access to God only through
Christ Jesus and access to Christ only thorough the cross. Our access to the
cross is only through a denial of self.
Luke 9:23 23 And he said to them all, If any man will come
after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
To be a follower
of Christ you must forsake your own agendas. You must voluntarily choose to
take up your cross daily and follow Him.
This tells us
that in no uncertain terms that the cross of Christ must always be the emphasis
of the message.
Matthew
16:24 24 Then said
Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself,
and take up his cross, and follow me.
By totally dying
to self and giving up what we were before being born again into Christ Jesus,
we are changed instantly into a new creature.
We deny our own
strength and ability and follow Christ and his ability and strength.
In todays natural
world being a believer and living righteous before God, without sin, iniquity
and without spot or wrinkle in Christ Jesus we must know the word of God and
lean not on our own understanding.
Proverbs 3:5 5 Trust in the Lord with all
thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
Ephesians 5:27 27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not
having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and
without blemish.
It is Christ
himself who is to present the church and he is to present it to himself; all
this was made possible by the cross.
Because we have
made the choice to follow Him, we have an enemy that really hates us; All because
Jesus won and Satan lost, Satan is in a rage.
Satan will try
everything he can to get you to live for the world and not for Jesus. Whatever tool
he has he will use it. Be it family, friends or our own lust for the things of
this world.
You are the one with
the power and authority, when he tries to use things of your past to win you
over, remind him of his future. He does not have any power over the believer,
his main tool is deception.
Stay strong, stay
in the word, rebuke the world and what it has to offer.
