Unused Word of God

As I wrote to you last week, there is a devil out there that is trying to destroy you. He doesn’t want you to win! He wants you to quit this race. He wants you to give up, be cast down and utterly destroyed. He comes in like a roaring lion seeking those he can devour (1 Peter 5:8). He can come in the form of a person or a situation. We, Christians, are destroyed by our lack of knowledge of God’s Word (Hosea 4:6). And the reason he’s able to come into our lives is because we are not reading (so we can learn), not doing (to build up our faith), and not speaking that which the Word of God says who we are, what we can do and what we can have. I want to talk about two (2) things in God’s Word that we are either not using or not using to the full (not saying or doing it every day). We might not know what the Word of God says or casually use the Word of God or we might not be fully persuaded that God can do it for us. Let’s look at our not being ignorant of the enemy’s devices and the Blood of Jesus.

How often do you thank God that you are not ignorant of the enemy’s devices? Because you have made the decision to follow Christ, you have an enemy called Satan, the devil. He is going to throw everything and use anybody he can to get you away from God, to cause you to quit this race. The Word of God that we speak out of our mouths has the power to destroy the works of the enemy, if we believe that Word.
The enemy’s devices can be a person, current circumstance(s), finances, a past deed or anything. If you can, stay from people who make you angry, and ask God to help you deal with that person. The Word of God says to stay away from things that gender strife (Proverbs 20:3). If you know you’re a sore loser, don’t play games or get involved in this that’s a completion until you are able to do so without becoming angry. But when we recognize or are aware that these things are causing us to react negatively or causing depression, then you can do something about them. We know how to pray and what to ask of the Father. It is a little easier to fight an enemy when you know what weapons he’s using and even easier when we have God on our side. So began to thank God everyday that you are not ignorant of the enemy’s devices. Every day you wake up there are challenges to face and overcome.

I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but you don’t hear about the Blood of Jesus that often. Every time I pray, I plead the Blood of Jesus over my family, over our paths (career paths too), over our home, over the grounds our home sets on, over our property inside and out, over the inside and outside of our bodies, my relationships (with hubby, children and others), over our finances, and the trials and tribulations we go through. Now some of you might be thinking I’m going too far, but I make sure that my family and I are covered. The Blood of Jesus has the power to heal, gives life, power to preserve, power to change, power to protect, to wash away sins and redeem us. But you don’t hear a lot of teaching on the Blood of Jesus in the churches, and I believe that is why a lot of people are not using it. This is a power tool we have to combat the devil; he can’t touch it, and I plead the Blood of Jesus over everything! During the Passover the children of Israel sacrificed a lamb a placed the “blood” over their door so that death would “Passover” them. Jesus is our sacrificial lamb, and His Blood is here for our covering, but how often are you applying that covering to protect you and your family, to preserve/keep your marriage and relationships, to cause change of increase or a change of heart. This powerful tool should be used every day; put on the Armor of God and plead the very Blood of Jesus EVERYDAY!

Don’t allow the enemy, the devil, any ground. Use the Word of God! You shall have what you say, so say that you and/or your family are not ignorant of the enemy’s devices. We’ve been deceived by the devil too long! Let’s use all the arsenal God has given us. Let’s not forget about the power of the Blood of Jesus. Our kids have started school or getting ready to start; plead the Blood of Jesus over them. God wants us to win and to succeed, but you’ve got to say and do the Word of God. You won’t know to do and/or say these things if you do not know the Word of God.

Did you put your armor on today???
