SENSES

My enemy's strategy is to first tempt people in the area of their five senses.  The lust of the flesh is giving in to the temptation to overindulge the five senses in an addictive way.

The five senses were created by Me so that people could enjoy what I created. Satan used the senses of Eve to seduce her.  She first saw the fruit was pleasant to her eyes. and it looked like it would taste good.

The only way to resist Satan's seduction through the five senses is to have your senses exercised to discern good and evil by abiding in My Word.  So many have become victims of addiction because they do not know My Word. Pray for this generation to return to learning the principles in My Word.

GENESIS 3:6; HEBREWS 5:14

REJOICE

It is nearing the time when people will be celebrating Resurrection Sunday.  It is a time to remember when My disciples discovered My empty tomb.  

There are many religions that worship various gods, but no gods that they worship were ever raised from the dead. I was able to go to Jerusalem with joy in My heart because I knew that soon all the world would be offered the gift of salvation.

Rejoice and celebrate the fact that you now have the same resurrection power (the Holy Spirit) within you that raised Me from the dead.

ROMANS 8:11

CAST

My servant Peter exhorted believers to humble themselves before Me by casting all of their cares upon Me for I do care for them

Never neglect casting your cares upon Me.  Think about how a fisherman casts his rod out into the water with the hope of catching a fish.  He does this with great faith that he will catch a fish.

I eagerly await for you to cast your cares upon Me with faith believing that I not only hear your cares, but I also will perfect all those cares that are a concern to you.

1 PETER 5:6-7; PSALM 138:8

SHEDDING

The author of Hebrews wrote to the Jewish believers before the destruction of the Temple in 70AD these words: "And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without the shedding of blood is no remission."

I shed My blood for the remission of the sins of the whole world.  Pray for many today to recognize that though their sins be as scarlet, My blood can make them white as snow.

On that fateful day that I died on the tree, I exchanged the unrighteousness of human kind for My pure righteousness. Pray that many will receive Me as their Savior so that their sins can be washed away.

HEBREWS 9:22; ISAIAH 1:18

 

SLIP

The writer of Hebrews warned his readers not to take for granted the message of salvation that was given to those believers in Christ Jesus.

You are at danger to drift from the faith, not due to what you have done, but instead due to what you leave undone. When you skip your times in prayer and My Word, you leave a space in your heart and mind..

My adversary will fill the space in your mind and heart with doubt and unbelief. Those who are true disciples of Mine will continue in My Word.  Continuing in My Word is the only way you can be set free from the strongholds in your life.

HEBREWS 2:1; JOHN 8:31-32

LONGING

 You used to sing a song titled, "Longing for Jesus."  The words were, "I have a longing in My heart for Jesus, I have a longing in My heart for Him.

Just to be near Him, to feel His presence.  I have a longing in my heart for Him. You sang that song when you were a teenager in your youth fellowship.

I am so grateful that you still have a longing in your heart for Me.  I want you never to lose that longing.  Pray for those you know who do not have that longing to be near Me and to feel My presence.

PSALM 107:9

KEEP

 I created your body. Since you received Me as your Lord and Savior, your body is now the Temple of My Holy Spirit.

Every day I want you to offer your body to Me as a living sacrifice.  You can daily offer the members of your body to be used as instruments of My righteousness, joy, peace, and love.

When you are faithful to do this every morning, I will be able to use you as a co-laborer with Me to build up My kingdom on earth.

ROMANS 12:1
