THE DECEIVER



S.E.E.D. For Today_The Deceiver

 Scripture "Then the Lord God asked the woman, What have you done? "The snake deceived me, and I ate, the woman answered." Genesis 3:13 Good News Translation

 God doesn't ask questions because He needs information. Being God He knows everything. He ask questions for our own good, to give us the opportunity to face the facts. When God calls out for Adam it was an act of grace not that He couldn't find him, but He wanted Adam to hear His voice for his inner nature had been polluted by sin in such a way that He didn't want to face God. God calls out to His wife to question her she tells God that the serpent deceived her. From this they quickly learned how to make excuses. Paul said this "But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent's cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ." 2 Cor. 11:3 Satan is a deceiver his intentions are to still, kill and destroy, mislead you to your misfortune. In the original movie of the Jungle Book "Kaa" who is the serpent wants to eat Mowgli the young boy who wanders from his tribe into the jungle and tries to convince him to trust in him. He puts Mowgli in this deep slumber and cast a curse upon him saying; slowly and surely your senses will cease to resist. 

 Example The term deceived seems to mean to cause to forget, to entice, making a fool out of someone, to lie, to trick, to hoodwink, con.....etc.

Exercise Read Genesis 3:1-24 Afterwards have a talk with God. Don't allow yourself to be misled by the deceiver. He wants you to forget what God has said to you, to entice you to abort your destiny, he wants to make a fool out of you, he is a liar, that is trying to trick you, hoodwink, con and rob you of the abundant life Christ came to offer you.

Devotion Lord I trust only You, I will not trust in the deceiver. I stand on the word of God and I resist the enemy. I pray that I wake from my slumber and be aware of the wiles of the devil. I let go of all the excuses because they only lead to deception. Christ is my intervention from the deceiver for He has crushed the head of the serpent. I pray for faith to seek You daily that I keep sincere and pure devotion only to You in Jesus Name Amen.

Bursting Out Of It!

S.E.E.D. For Today:  Scripture: "Is this not the the fast which I have chosen: Loosen the bonds of wickedness." ( Isaiah 58:6 ) Explanation: There should be the right motive when we fast. The people of God in Isaiah observed but there was no change in them. When fasting we do not want to look at it as a religious ritual, but a means to transformation. The fruit of repentance ought to be evident in relationship with one another and our neighbor. If we fast and persist in arrogance, stubbornness, fighting and strife then we are only doing this out of routine. Exercise: Prayer is important to experience the grace and power of God when fasting. Without the consistency of prayer we will not see breakthrough. God is challenging us to do the fast He has chosen, the first means of business is releasing or loosing the bonds of wickedness. Whatever besets itself and entangles you again under the same slave system of missing the mark with God has to let you go. I challenge you ...

THE SAFE PLACE

S.E.E.D. For Today___ Safety Scripture "God is our safe place and our strength. He is always our help when we are in trouble." Psalms 46:1 New Life Version In light of all that is going on in our world God is the most dependable person we know. Murder, and violence plague our city's and nothing seems to be safe anymore. When everything seems to be falling apart God is our safety, our refuge from the storms of life. He doesn't protect us in order to pamper us, He shelter's us so He can strengthen us to go back to life with it's duties and dangers. Trouble describes people who are in tight places in a corner and unable to get out, but we are not to be afraid. The earth may change and things will be in utter chaos, but in the Lord we have safety. Though everything around us and in us seems to be restless, God is in control. God is our safe place, in His will, in His hands He got the whole world, He formed it, shaped it, created it, and man co...

"Your Time Is Coming!"

"My Destiny and it's timing is in the hand of God." Psalms 16:5 Your way of life, your fortune, your fate, your portion comes from God. Knowing God is to know that He operates in rhythm, seasons, or times. Ecclesiastes 3 breaks down very intricately the seasons, or timing of a man's life or destiny. It tells us in vs.1 that, "Everything on earth has its own time and its own season" ( CEV ) or " Everything that happens in this world happens at the time God chooses." ( GNT ) Being in sync rhythmically with God is so vital to the believer, operating in boundaries of our destiny or fortune, is the ability to flow in purpose. God has a purpose for each of us, you will find it to be your greatest joy as you discover the privilege of understanding the intention of God for your life. There are times as believers we find it difficult to accept what God has given us. There will be times when your ideas of what you want may get in the way of you and God...
