The word for the weekend - Steal !

The word for the weekend -  Steal !

Don't  let the devil steal your joy, if you trust the Lord with all of your heart, He will direct your paths, read  Proverbs 3:6, In all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your paths. Because the favor of God is with us, ask yourself  if God is for me, who in this world is against me ? Read Romans 8:31,What shall we then say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? Okay,what then, shall we say in response to this?  Some people may be against us, but they can not injure or destroy us! Why? Because, the Lord is on our side, He is mighty and more powerful then anyone or anything, read Psalm 118:5-7, I called upon the Lord in distress: the Lord answered me, and set me in a large place.The Lord is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?The Lord taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me. It is okay, don't walk around thinking about why, just trust the Lord, He will see you through everything! Is anything to hard for God? NO !! What does this mean to you the believers__?  If you submit yourselves to God, He will draw near to you, read James 4:6-10,But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up. Now, that is something to look forward too. God never had a plan that some  people should go to heaven and others to eternal torment (hell)! Is Our Heavenly Father foreknowing and has foreordained everything, yes! Read Ephesians 1:3-6,Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. We thank you Lord for your love towards us,where would we be without you? Let us get some understanding of the word at hand, God predestinated that all who shall be of this elect ( the believer),must first be "conformed to the image of his Son" (Jesus) who did the will of His Heavenly Father, not the things of this world!  Stay with me, it is in the word, read Romans 8:29-30,For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. Now that is Awesome! There is a certain connection between the predestination and the call, which will be manifested in due time, by God's time table! The connection is so certain that the one infallibly secures the other, it is the power of God. No one can steal from you, what God has ordain in you,no man can take it away, open your Spiritual eye's and mind, we are enabled to see clearly each step of divine providence taken in connection with the divine purpose for us ( the believers). God was and is favorable towards those who accept the light of truth, those who through repentance and faith in the precious blood are "justified" from sin through his grace. Satan, you can not steal or have my joy, I know the truth and I am free by the blood of Jesus Christ !!! Thank you Lord for your word and your grace. Amen !
