“So this is all I seem to hear recently..and that is..the devil did this..the devil made me do this..the devil is on the war path..the devil is taking over..the devil is this and that and this and that..and for me I get irritated by this..because for one the devil makes no one do anything..Amen..and for another if you are a child of God you are the Lords..Amen..for the Cross of Calvary and all that Jesus did there defeated that ole devil..once and for all..Colossians 2:15..Amen..for scripture says that greater is He that is within you than he that is within this world..1 John 4:4..Amen..so first off, the evil one that ole devil is DEFEATED!!!!!..Amen..the word says he is under your feet..Romans 16:20..Praise the Lord..and if we as children of the Lord resist him scripture says he will flee from us..James 4:7..see this is thing..we DON’T run from the enemy..Amen..but he runs from us..Praise the Lord..because we are covered by the blood of Christ..Amen..so don’t let the enemy deceive you..because that’s what he tries to do..Praise the Lord!”

“So what the enemy does is this..he distracts and he discourages..Amen..he gets you so focused on others..their lives..what you don’t have..your sickness maybe..your loss..your defeats in life..whatever is happening that is what he distracts you with..and then what happens?..well, you get discouraged and you get depressed..and you my friend begin believing the lies that you have been fed..other than the truth of Christ..and thats where we begin to believe that the enemy has some hold over us..no..he doesn’t..Amen..we give him the power over us..all because we believe what he is trying to give..distractions…discouragement..Amen..and we believe it all..and what does the scripture say?..it says as a man thinks so is he..Proverbs 23:7..Amen..so if you eat the lies..you will live that out in your life..Amen..if you think bad and you continually think bad..and think sad..or whatever in the world..you won’t live a life of victory not for the fact that your not free..or that you are not victorious..it’s just because you don’t believe..Amen!”

“And if we don’t believe we fail..we let ourselves go down into this deep hold or pit..of despair..and we continue on the spiral downfall..and no matter what anyone says to you..you won’t believe it..Amen..because what we believe and what we say is what builds our faith in life..for you see faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God..Romans 10:17..but if you always say you can’t..or it’ll never get better..and you say the wrongs in life..instead of being positive..than guys you yourself defeat yourself..Amen..understand that the enemy is always going to try to get at us..but its always negative stuff..it’s always lies..Amen..and most of the time it’s the same ole story that we have heard from the beginning..Amen..and we all have our own little story he tries to feed us..but again..you turn the page..you turn the station..DO NOT entertain those thoughts not for a moment..cast them away from you..do something else..speak the word of Christ over your life..speak truth..Amen..get busy helping yourself..the enemy is defeated..so give him no credit for nothing..in your life..quit grabbing the bait that he throws your way..but you stand..steadfast in Christ and His love and all that He has done for you..look for the miracles..look for the blessings and begin at that moment being thankful..letting Gods high praises be in your mouth and on your lips continually..Psalm 149:6..keeping yourself free from it all..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
