"THAT CONTAINER IS LYING ABOUT ITS CONTENTS"
Matthew 7:15, “Be on your guard against false prophets; they come to you LOOKING LIKE SHEEP on the OUTSIDE, but on the INSIDE they are really like wild WOLVES.” (GNT)
My two favorite seasons are Winter and Fall! Winter, because I love Christmas, snow, carols, decorations and the like. And Fall, because I love the colors, Thanksgiving, the start of the scent of fireplaces, but most of all,…

“Now the serpent was more crafty (subtle, skilled in deceit) than any living creature of the field which the Lord God had made. And the serpent (Satan) said to the woman, “Can it really be that God has said, ‘You shall not eat from any tree of the garden’?” And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees of the garden, except the fruit from the tree which is in the middle of the garden. God said, ‘You shall not eat from it nor touch it, otherwise you will die.’ ” But the serpent said to the woman, “You certainly will not die! For God knows that on the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened [that is, you will have greater awareness], and you will be like God, knowing [the difference between] good and evil.”
—Genesis 3:1-5 (AMP)
“The enemy didn't tempt Adam and Eve to murder, steal, or tell a lie. He tempted them to question the word of God. His tactics haven't changed.”
“He was a murderer from the beginning. He never stood for the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies he reveals his true character, for he's a liar and the father of lies.” —John 8:44b (FBV)
“Be well balanced (temperate, sober of mind), be vigilant and cautious at all times; for that enemy of yours, the devil, roams around like a lion roaring [in fierce hunger], seeking someone to seize upon and devour.” —1 Peter 5:8 (AMPC)

Today's Word With Joel and Victoria Osteen - Not A Lion, Like A Lion
Today’s Scripture
1 Peter 5:8, NIV
Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.
Today’s Word
Even though our enemy was defeated when Jesus was crucified and rose from the dead, the challenge is that he makes a lot of noise, going about like a roaring lion. He’s not a lion. He can’t overpower you. He can’t control your…

"Vodka is Not a Beverage"
A friend I met in Israel, lives in the Hollywood Hills and writes books for living. (Great job if you have the talent for it and Tom Bissell has it.). Anyway, in one of his books, Chasing the Sea: Lost Among the Ghosts of Empire in Central Asia, says the Vodka is not a beverage. “It is a memory-erasing headache fuel.” (p. 199 in the paperback edition). He’s probably right but I want to use his…

Stand YOUR Ground
I re-share this every year because I simply need to encourage somebody today. You who’s looking at your situation and the enemy is wanting you to believe you made the wrong choice. You’re staring at the current condition of your life and the enemy is beckoning you to throw in the towel. You’re facing a hardship and the enemy is tricking you into believing God doesn’t care about you. LIES … STAND…

The Devil is Fiction, Right? Think Again!
The Devil is Fiction, Right? Think Again!
Men have talked about the devil for centuries, and I’m sure many people assume he is mythological or a fictional character. “You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father…

"THE CROSS DISARMED SATAN"
Colossians 2:11-15, “In Him also you were circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands, but in a [spiritual] circumcision [performed by] Christ by stripping off the body of the flesh (the whole corrupt, carnal nature with its passions and lusts). [Thus you were circumcised when] you were buried with Him in [your] baptism, in which you were also raised with Him [to a new life] through…

Watching You
Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. 1 Peter 5:8
I’ve watched him for years.
Actually since birth.
I’ve seen him grow into the young man he is today.
Witnessing his disappointments, I’ve gotten to know his weak spots.
Areas I can press him into walking towards sin.
It’s almost too easy, tempting him.
Take…

Today's Word With Joel and Victoria Osteen - Ignore The Roar
Today’s Scripture
1 Peter 5:8, NKJV
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
Today’s Word
Anytime we try to move forward, thoughts will come telling us what we can’t do, how the problem is too big. We know what God promised, we believe it in our heart, but the enemy comes like a roaring lion, bombarding our mind with…

2 Pedro 1:5-8
Por esta razón también, obrando con toda diligencia, añadid a vuestra fe, virtud, y a la virtud, conocimiento; al conocimiento, dominio propio, al dominio propio, perseverancia, y a la perseverancia, piedad, a la piedad, fraternidad y a la fraternidad, amor. Pues estas virtudes, al estar en vosotros y al abundar, no os dejarán ociosos ni estériles en el verdadero conocimiento de nuestro Señor Jesucristo.
In view of all this, make every effort to respond to God’s promises. Supplement your faith with a generous provision of moral excellence, and moral excellence with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with patient endurance, and patient endurance with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love for everyone.
The more you grow like this, the more productive and useful you will be in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
