Happy Monday!

Jesus and Beelzebub

Luke 11:14-23

Jesus was driving out a demon that was mute. When the demon left, the man who had been mute spoke and the crowd was amazed. But some of them said,"By Beelzebub, the prince of demons, he is driving out demons!" Others tested Him by asking for a sign from heaven. Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them,"Any kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and a house divided against itself will fall. If Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? I say this because you say that I drive out demons by Beelzebub. Now if I drive out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your followers drive them out? So then, they will be your judges. But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come to you. When a strong man fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are safe. But when someone stronger attacks and overpowers him, he takes away the armor in which the man trusted and divides up the spoils.

What has Satan stolen from you?
What have you lost along the way that you know the Lord will one day reclaim for you?
What are some of the "Weapons" Satan has trusted in as he's battled against you?
How could you use this knowledge to shield yourself from his attacks?

Let's look at 3 things here:
1) Satan may be strong, but Christ is "stronger".
2) Christ will attack and overcome Satan.
3)Our someone stronger is going to take away Satan's armor and divide up the spoils.

We have all had situations that Satan has stolen many things from us, we have the comfort of knowing that it won't last. There will come a time when God will give us double for our trouble. I am in prayer for a family right now that is feeling the effects of war from a Satanic attack. We have all been here...I am so thankful that we are all working on our Bible in 90 days, we need the Word of God, it is our armor to be able to defeat the enemy. As long as we are here on this earth we will be in a battle. How prepared for battle are we ladies? Let's not let Satan get the upper hand and be able to defeat us simply because we are not prepared...Let's stand strong, stay in the Word, keep His Words in our hearts and FIGHT!

Prayer:
Our Gracious and Heavenly Father, We are so thankful for your living Word today Lord, we ask Father that you give us the power to read every Word and be able to brand our hearts with it. Help us to be armed for battle Father. Lord I ask that your mighty hand will reach into Joanne's hospital room and heal her Lord, she is in a battle that she cannot win on her own. Help her Lord, heal her Father so that she can go back home to her loved ones and continue to fight the good fight. In Jesus Holy Precious Name We Pray...AMEN

I love you girlies!

In Him I Remain,
