Tired?

In case you are wondering…
God sees you!!
He knows you,
Inside and out
And
LOVES you passionately!!
What is weighing you down right now,
You were never meant to carry!
Lay it all down
before the Him!!
And he will make a way!
You are NOT alone!
God is for you
If you wanna know how far my love can go
Just how deep
Just how wide
If you wanna see how much you mean to me
Look at my hands
Look at my side
If you could count the times I’d say you are forgiven
It’s more than the drops in the ocean…
Open your heart it’s time that we start again
Just say no
He would not permit the demons
to speak, because they knew him.
– Mark 1:34 (ESV)
How profound is that statement He would not permit the demons to speak. Why wouldn’t Jesus do so “because they knew him.”
As we are disciples of Jesus it follows that Satan and his demons also know who we are, how we think, where our weakness’s lay.
And because Satan is the father of lies, and is our enemy who wants to take us out at any cost, we need do as Jesus did and not permit him to speak his lies over us and our family
We need to say “No!” whenever he tries to tell us lies such as:
You will never control your eating.
You will never accomplish anything.
Your kids will never amount to anything.
Your marriage is doomed to fail.
Your business will fail.
Your stupid.
Your ugly.
You will never change.
God does not love you as much as her.
Just give up!
We need to keep a watch for the lies of the enemy and Just say no to them. Remember what the Bible tells us…
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
– James 4:7 (ESV)
Christianity is not a spectator sport. Be watchful, resist the enemy, and follow God’s leading and you will be amazed at where he leads you to.
Two Scriptures to Ponder
This morning the following two pieces of scripture (copied below with my emphasis) came across my path. I offer them below with my thoughts.
-
One
“A leper came to him, begging on his knees, “If you want to, you can cleanse me.”
Deeply moved, Jesus put out his hand, touched him, and said, “I want to. Be clean.”
Then and there the leprosy was gone, his skin smooth and healthy.”
(Mark 1:40–42, The Message)
-
Two
“A man out of the crowd answered, “Teacher, I brought my mute son, made speechless by a demon, to you. Whenever it seizes him, it throws him to the ground. He foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth, and goes stiff as a board. I told your disciples, hoping they could deliver him, but they couldn’t.”
Jesus said, “What a generation! No sense of God! How many times do I have to go over these things? How much longer do I have to put up with this? Bring the boy here.”
They brought him. When the demon saw Jesus, it threw the boy into a seizure, causing him to writhe on the ground and foam at the mouth. He asked the boy’s father, “How long has this been going on?”
“Ever since he was a little boy. Many times it pitches him into fire or the river to do away with him. If you can do anything, do it. Have a heart and help us!”
Jesus said, “If? There are no ‘ifs’ among believers. Anything can happen.”
No sooner were the words out of his mouth than the father cried, “Then I believe. Help me with my doubts!”
(Mark 9:17–24, The Message)
- Three
My take away? That we should hold nothing back from Jesus. If we are in need we must remember that Jesus is present, able, and willing to help us. Nothing is to hard or impossible for God!
