January 24 RESIST - ARMOR UP John 8:44
Good morning from Pastor Glen Brock, Baptist Tabernacle Church, Wendell, North Carolina…“You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.” (John 8:44)
Evil exists and has existed since the fall of Satan! As we witness the exercise of satanic influences around the globe, I often, stop to ponder “Why?” Just as Jesus faced criticism from those who adamantly resisted His teachings. Jesus explained that we will act and speak and be what our Fathers had taught us and that we need to be obedient to HIS WILL! Just as in the days when Jesus walked this earth, the conduct of men has been marked by violence, deception, and hypocrisy. They rejected the message of Christ because they did not want to hear it. They resist the Truth! Here, in John 8:44, Jesus completes His statement about the true spiritual father of these critics, in spectacular fashion. In no uncertain terms, Jesus states that these hateful enemies are, in fact, the spiritual children of the Devil. He refers to murder, resistance to the truth, and lies—all of which were part of His earlier criticism of these men. This is not a soft, timid response on the part of Jesus. This is an open, overt rebuke delivered against religious (and political) leaders who are leading others to Hell. Friends, we are witnessing the Evil of Satan, leading His followers into unspeakable levels of hatred, debauchery, chaos and strife! What are we going to do? We are to Seek our Lord, Pray for each other (and these satanic driven individuals), Read His Holy Word, and continue to Resist the Devil by flooding our minds with the Good News of Jesus Christ! I refuse to concede even one soul to Satan, without a fight! The individuals that I see on Television, protesting, shouting, carrying Pre-made signs, chanting lies and slander, are being targeted in PRAYER! I challenge you to put on the whole armor of God and get ready for the Battle ahead! IT IS COMING! Satanic forces are seeking Control of your entire existence! Please, Please, Please, Stay Strong, Stay Focused… THE BEST IS YET TO BE (And this Fact has nothing to do with circumstances) !!!!
