“I think for many times in my life that when the Lord speaks to me to do certain things..and many times I am rebellious..I have this type of personality..and maybe you do as well..but when the Lord tells me no about something that I am doing in my life or want to do in my life..I will begin to justify it..and how many of ya know that when you do this..you begin looking at both sides of it..and again how many of ya know that you can find people or situations and you begin to justify it..of why it will be okay..why it’s alright..why everyone else doing it..and how it surly will be fine and okay for you too..Amen..and all the while the Lord is saying to you no..and He will continue to say no until we listen..Amen..and again how many of ya know that God will tell you to do things and certain things for your own good..Amen..for you see if the Lord tells us something believe you me it is for a very good reason..He isn’t trying to make your life hard..He isn’t trying to make you be out of the loop so to speak..but He is protecting you..He is all knowing..Psalm 139..Amen..so He knows that no good will come from the certain things that He is telling you no about..Amen!”

“So this morning I wanna say to us all..if the Lord has freed you from something..and the enemy is tempting you with that very thing..no that it is a no first and foremost and that second that if the Lord said no than..He did not change His mind..for God doesn’t change His mind..He doesn’t play some kind of game with our feelings and or our emotions..so if the tempter of our very soul is coming along to tempt us..recognize that immediately..because if it was not happening for you way back when..than believe you me it is not happening for you now..Amen..so turn away from the temptation..and more than that run away from it..Amen..be strong in the Lord as scripture says and in the power of His might..and put on the whole armor of God that you can stand against the wiles of the enemy for we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against rulers, powers and wickedness in high places..for the word says when you have done all you can do..just STAND..Amen..having on your armor of the Lord and praying with all supplication..Ephesians 6:11-18..Amen!”

“So don’t fall prey to the enemy and his lies that he brings..for he will make us believe that all will okay..that God loves us..surly nothing would ever happen..we can go ahead and do what we want..because God protects us..Amen..and on and on the enemy goes..spreading lies upon lies..making us compromise..and making us fall away from the plans of the Lord..and fall away and backslide to end up being what we were before we came to the Lord..just as he did in the garden with Eve..he tempted her into believing his lies..and both her and Adam didn’t follow the Lords voice and His commands so they end up in a mess all from eating some apple that looked so refreshing and tasty..so they let the lust of their flesh and the pride of their eyes move them towards disobedience and in turn got them kicked right out of the garden..that beautiful place that God had created for them to enjoy together as husband and wife..they had it all and ended up losing it all..and suffering the consequence for their actions..because there is always consequences for our disobedience..Genesis 3:1-24..Amen!”

“So I wanna say if you are there this very day in a place as to where you are being tempted to make wrong choices and or bad decisions..than know that God is NOT gonna say yes to something He has already said no to..Amen..and that with every temptation the Lord promises in His word to provide a way of escape..1 Corinthians 10:13..Amen..so don’t play around with your ministry..because we all have one..and don’t play around and or entertain that ole devil..for he is sly and he is sneaky..but God our Father has made us wiser..so be wise..and choose well..and consider the consequences for these actions..and consider all that happened before to what will and would happen now..Amen..for nothing is changed..the devil just sugar coats it..and he makes it sound and look so appealing..Oh, but guys it is far from that..when it is all said and done..it is a mess..it is trouble..and it is problems upon problems..and none of us wants more problems and or troubles in our lives that we ourselves have the choice to choose better..and do better..Amen..so that we don’t suffer the consequences for our foolish actions..so stay close to our Father..and be smart for we all are smart..and we all know right from wrong..so let us listen to Jesus..and not listen to man..and let us NOT justify the Lord’s speaking to us and or to His commands that He alone has given..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
