GOD’S LOVE MAKES YOU STRONG[/h][HR][/HR]If you were to thank God for something today, what would it be? For me, it would be thanking God for giving me Jesus. For when I see Jesus on the cross, I see the love of God overcoming everything for me. It causes me to say, “Thank you, Jesus! I love you, Jesus! I worship you, Jesus! Bless you, Jesus! Hallelujah!”

And as we worship and celebrate the love of Jesus in our lives, we will find ourselves changed, and we will see the mighty power of God displayed for us and through us.

This was the case in the life of David. His personal times of worship, of being absorbed in God’s love for him, changed him from a mere shepherd boy to a lion killer, bear killer, giant killer and finally, a king over
Israel.

Now, no one on earth, no matter how strong he is, let alone a youth, can come against a lion and prize open its mouth to snatch back his sheep which the lion had carried away, unless God’s anointing is on him. And this was indeed what happened to David the shepherd boy who went after the lion, caught it by its beard, struck and killed it, and thus delivered the lamb from its jaws. (1 Samuel 17:34–37)

My friend, no man can truly enjoy living in this world without God’s strength in his life, God’s favor in his work and relationships, God’s protection for him and his family, God’s increase in his finances, and God’s health and healing for his body. Likewise, no woman can survive emotionally, socially or physically without God’s tender touch, loving presence, sweet assurance and words of life in times of need.

Beloved, as you feed on Jesus’ love for you, you will be filled with the fullness of God. Like David, God’s anointing will begin to operate powerfully in your life. And when you encounter spiritual lions, even the devil himself—when he comes like a roaring lion against you, your loved ones or your possessions—you will grab hold of his mouth and tear him apart!

If you've ever observed people you will notice those who are secure in being loved are the most healthy minded and pleasant kind of people to be around. On a day like today when we Americans celebrate Valentines day, it can be hard when someone doesn't have a Valentine. The celebrated day reminds us and makes us take notice and stock of our lives. As celebrated days are supposed to. Celebrations are meant to be good.

This often used to happen to me and bring me down when after taking stock of where I was in my relationships with people in life. But today because of the love of God in Christ there is no more reason to be cast down. Just like the Bible says "why so down cast my soul, put your hope in God." Psalm 42:5
[h=1]Psalm 42:5Amplified Bible, Classic Edition (AMPC)[/h] [SUP]5 [/SUP]Why are you cast down, O my inner self? And why should you moan over me and be disquieted within me? Hope in God and wait expectantly for Him, for I shall yet praise Him, my Help and my God.




[h=1]Psalm 42:5King James Version (KJV)[/h] [SUP]5 [/SUP]Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.


It is very encouraging to know that the love we have been made to deeply desire can only be found in the love of God IN Christ. And those other beautiful gifts of loving and being loved by our relationships with people are put there for our joy and encouragement in life. He knows what we need and supplies generously.

So if you're feeling any sort of sadness today., put your hope in God and He will meet that deep need. He not only made us but He also can be trusted to provide for us in every way no matter where we find ourselves in life. Thank You Father for sending your Son Jesus. :D

Yahanan (John) 4:25-26, "The woman said to Him; I know that the Messiah comes, and when He comes, He will tell us all things. Yahshua said to her: I am He speaking to you."

Col 2:, "See to it that no one makes a prey of you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary matters of the world, and not according to Messiah."

1John 4:19, We love Him because He first loved us."

I took it as a metaphor myself. We resist the devil and he flees from us because we stand in the armor of God which is all Jesus' work. Personally I don't talk with the devil. I speak what God says about a situation.

There is also the consideration that Michael is an angel like satan was. We are part of Christ Himself - joined as one spirit with Him. We can command the enemy to leave but under the leading of the Holy Spirit as Christ Himself is the Head of the church directing us - the body.

When He says to command - then we can speak with authority against what the enemy is doing in that situation.

That's just my general belief currently.
