Are you afraid of the devil??

There was a man in the Hospital, he was having all kinds of trials.  The Local Pastor came to pray for him and said "You need to Rebuke the devil!"  The afflicted man replied "No, it might make him Mad!"...  How many times have we been afraid to mess with the devil??  Not to give him any glory but to expose him.  I have been guilty of not wanting to make him mad.  But if you really look he tries to Bully either way!  So Go  ahead and put him on the run with your Praise and Worship.  The Bible says Resist the devil and he will flee from you!  And when I'm really mad I remind him that Every knee shall bow and confess that Jesus is Lord and that includes him too!!  OH he hates that!  

This past summer has been hard with trials and life has seemed so uncertain at times.  Many times I felt like my Dreams were going down the tubes.  But I continued to believe that God has a Plan and a Hope for my future.  Pastor BJ Roberts preached "The devil has a plot, but GOD Has a Plan!!" (you can find the message at www.ctcwv.com  archive 7/14/13 BJ)  God does have a plan and I intend to Praise and Worship my way through!  God ALWAYS works everything out!  And as I said in my other Post God is "almost Always Almost late", But he Always comes through.  

This week I took a vow of Thankfulness, meaning I wouldn't ASK God for Anything. But would Praise, Worship and Thank HIM for 7 days!  Few times I had to stop myself from ASKING and instead turn it around and say I Thank YOU Lord for ______! I am so Thankful for a new level in Christ through all this, a New Desire and New Power from on High. I got God's Attention and I'm Victorious!  I DECLARED WAR on the devil Sunday and he has hit me with his best shots this week BUT THIS MORNING I PUT HIM ON THE RUN!!  IN JESUS NAME!!!  I'M VICTORIOUS IN CHRIST!  GODS GOT THIS and I'm just hanging on to his Right hand with Total Confidence in HIM!!
