Chase The Devil Away

Ephesians 2:5 
Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

Heal the lame, let us exclaim, God still can.

For without  Him, we are lame, we are blind.

We are broken, we are deaf, we are dead.

Until quickened by His truth, in heart and mind....

Made Alive In Christ.

Hebrews 13:15 

By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to 

God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips 

giving thanks to his name.

Get Busy, Believe 2

It's time to roll up your sleeves and get busy, believe;

That God is still God in a world that's deceived.

He is alive, He is well, He is faithful and true;

If you remain  faithful,  His blessings abide on you.

Though you may feel down, see all the trouble around;

Be joyful  and know our hope, we are heaven bound.

Let us by grace rise above the sorrow we feel;

Because God is our refuge, our strength,  He is real.

God has no joy in sins convoy, it destroys.

God still hates sin and all satan's clever decoys.

When it seems the devil has won the war,  teardrops fall;

Such grief , because Christ himself grieves within us all.

We can still shine for Jesus, in a very dark world;

Casting all our cares, and our fears upon the Lord.

We've already won, when we keep loving  Him.

Rejoicing, praising with hope, and resisting sin.

It's time to roll up your sleeves and get busy, believe;

That God is still God in a world that's deceived.

He is alive, He is well, He is faithful and true;

If you remain  faithful,  His blessings abide on you.

Though this world may harden to the things that are right.

We are bound for a home where there is no more night.

Where springs of joyfulness,  will fill those in pure white;

Where great our rejoicing, in that city of light.

Reading

 Luke 13:3  - I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

Reading - John 15

"When we are born again - Jesus comes and abides in our heart.  Then is when we can too be grieved like God over sin and grow a hatred of it.  God hates sin but because of love He calls for repentance."   "Susan Y Nikitenko"

Oh, God's Glory Hallelujah, Shine On - 2

Oh, God's Glory Hallelujah,  Shine On

Jesus gave His life on Calvary;

To save us from hell's fatality.

Our debt was paid on that cruel cross.

He came to give His life for you and me.

The sun was darkened when Jesus died.

The crowds of people were terrified.

The earth shook and quaked in it's  grieving.

As they watched the death of the King of kings.

Oh, God's glory hallelujah, shine on;

The stone at the tombs entrance was gone.

The sun came up Resurrection morn;

And it was like a new day was born.

Jesus triumphant, defeated death:

He defeated hell, and we are blest.

Glorious morning, Jesus lives;

And He lives forever to forgive.

Just as He has risen from the dead;

Just as he has bruised the devil's head.

He defeated the power of sin.

So you too can come alive in Him.

No longer lost, but found in Jesus;

Oh, the love, He has shed upon us.

Oh, God's glory hallelujah, shine on;

What a wonderful resurrection morn.

 Colossians 2:12 

Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.

 Colossians 3:1

 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

Fixing Problems

 

Fixing Problems

 

By: Susan Y Nikitenko 

January 6th, 2012

After church on Thursday night our truck would not start.   My husband thought it was the battery so our Son in law pulled out the jumper cables to charge the battery.  The effort was of no avail.  They then slugged through a snowdrift to get to the store across the street.  They bought tools to remove it.  Even though they worked hard they still could not remove it. They were using the wrong tools. 

My daughter and I waited in the car, it was very cold outside.  Our Son in law then drove us to K-mart to buy new tools and a new battery .  Then we went back to the church.  Where they worked a long time, but they still couldn't fix the problem.

It takes us about 25 minutes to drive home from our church.  We went home to get more tools, tools they thought would work.  My daughter and I stayed home.  They went back and worked and did not get back until midnight.  The problem still was not fixed.

They weren't using the right tools and they were working on the wrong problem.  The problem they were working on didn't exist.   The truck didn't need a new battery.  It needs a new starter.

Sometimes people go to fixing something and they're using the wrong tools. 

Anger isn't the right tool to use when you're trying to fix a problem in a relationship for example.

Gossip isn't the right tool to use when you're praying for someone in a group setting.

Tricking isn't the right tool because it creates mistrust and confusion.  Confusion is of the devil. 

We need to be sure we are using the right tools- you know, the "righteous tools". When dealing with the problems of life we need to use tools like prayer and hiding Gods Word in our heart, tools like love and a soft answer, tools like wisdom and encouragement, tools like faith and consideration. These are the right tools.

Sometimes we think we're fixing a problem and it's just made things worse.  We end up breaking something,

that would have never been broken. 

Sometimes we think we have everything figured out, but all along we were trying to fix the wrong thing.

What we were working on never needed fixing at all.

Sometimes we just need a new start.  Just like our truck, it needs a new starter. 

When we go to fixing problems, we need to know for sure the problem is real.

When we go to fixing problems, we need to know it's the right problem.

When we go to fixing problems, we need to be using the right tools.

When we go to fixing problems we better know God wants us to do the fixing.

Hopefully we have the right person repairing our truck, or we may have bigger problems.  

The same way in life.

Jesus is the best  fixer upper I know.

Sometimes the best tool, is leaving things in God's hands. 

  His grace goes a long way.
