Many Signs and Wonders Done
Acts chapter 5
12 Now many signs and wonders were regularly done among the people by the hands of the apostles. And they were all together in Solomon's Portico. 13 None of the rest dared join them, but the people held them in high esteem. 14 And more than ever believers were added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women, 15 so that they even carried out the sick into the streets and laid them on cots and mats, that as Peter came by at least his shadow might fall on some of them. 16 The people also gathered from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing the sick and those afflicted with unclean spirits, and they were all healed.
The first step to blocking the enemy’s attacks comes when you learn more about his tactics. This does not mean spending an abnormal amount of time thinking about Satan and his methods, but it does mean accepting the fact that Satan and his forces are both real and active in our world today.
ReplyDeleteThe way to victory over the enemy includes knowledge of the way he thinks and attacks and remembering that believers are assured of victory even before the first shot is fired. Also, be sure that you are living a spiritually alert life, choosing to follow God’s instructions and commands.
You may be thinking, “I am not afraid of the devil.” That isn’t the issue. The real issue is whether the enemy is afraid of Christ’s life in you.
Amen!!!
DeleteWhen I was a child, I thought as a child, and had lots of ideas, but when I grew up and worked in a church, I was afraid to have an original thought of any kind. Have you ever had the feeling you’re just parroting another church instead of being a church?

ReplyDeleteso sharpen the blade.
That’s the value of wisdom;
it helps you succeed.
James 1:21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
ReplyDeleteThe engrafted word of God will heal the things you have given up on, it will change you. It will get in to your spirit and give you new desires!
Greetings Saints,
ReplyDeleteColossians 1: 13 For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves
The fear that surrounds our insecurities, self-esteem, circumstances is nothing but an extension of the darkness that controls this world. The darkness has controlled and manipulated so that poverty, struggle and bondage may prevail. All this is to take our eyes away from the light so that we can give our worship to them. For many it may seem like all is lost, yet in this verse we are told that we are already rescued and placed in the kingdom built for us. Rescued by the love of God for us through Christ. So it is our Mindset, we have already won, we just need to start acting (faith) like it.
Blessed be our Lord Jesus Christ
Change in the world begins within our own hearts and minds. We’re not going to see the Kingdom of God manifested in the earth until it is manifested in our hearts
ReplyDeleteThose who believe in Christ Jesus are already blood-bought new creatures in Christ. “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation” (2 Corinthians 5:17). But now we must become what we are. “Cleanse out the old leaven that you may be a new lump, as you really are unleavened” (1 Corinthians 5:7).
