"There was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure." Paul asked God to remove the thorn. But the thorn was serving a divinely beneficial purpose. God denied his request. If God denies your prayer request, consider that He has a good reason for leaving things as they are.
2 Corinthians 12:8-9 - "For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness."
PRINCIPAL - "Man: Image And Glory Of God; Woman: Glory Of The Man"
This verse might be as controversial as any in the Bible to the modern feminist mind. A man "is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man." You cannot escape the fact that God designed the man to glorify Him, and the woman to glorify her husband. Modern culture vehemently defies that, but lady - defer to and edify your husband!
1 Corinthians 11:7 - "For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man."
PRINCIPLE - "Idolatry Is Fellowship With Devils"
"My dearly beloved, flee from idolatry. ...I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils." The modern Church is refusing to discern between the holy and the profane. It fellowships with darkness as if light and darkness are compatible. But that which is of the world and devils is off limits to the child of God. "If any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake." Remember! Idolatry fellowships devils.
1 Corinthians 10:22 - "Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?"
PROPHECY - "There Must Be Heresies, To Manifest Those Approved"
In every Church there are those who do not see eye to eye with the rest. Sometimes they have enough sense to remain silent and keep the peace. At other times, they voice their differences and cause division. God knew that from the beginning, and He knows how to redeem the situation. In time, He will manifest those who are approved. Be patient.
1 Corinthians 11:18-19 - "I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it. For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you."

If you've been standing around wringing your hands and worrying about what the devil is doing, it's time you made a switch. It's time you put that devil under your feet! Jesus has already given you all the power and authority you need to do it. He's given you the keys of the kingdom. He's promised you that whatever you declare locked on earth is locked in heaven and whatever you declare unlocked on earth is unlocked in the heavenlies (Matthew 16:19). That means you can speak the Word and bind wicked spirits. You can speak the Word and loose the angelic forces of God to work in your behalf. What's more, you've been given the power of attorney that enables you to use the mighty Name of Jesus. A Name that's above every other name. A Name which will cause every knee to bow—in heaven, in earth, and under the earth (Philippians 2:9-10)! So, don't waste time worrying about the devil. Take authority over him. Bind the evil spirits that try to destroy your home, your church and your nation. Loose God's Word in the earth and enforce it with the Name of Jesus. You hold the keys. Learn to use them and before long the devil will be wringing his hands worrying about you! |
