Subject: The works have been destroyed

Do you know what the works of the devil are? Here is a list of just a few.

* Sickness: all kinds. That's right, all kinds.

* Poverty

* Mental illness

* Lack of provision

* Lack of food

* People lying about you

* People trying to hurt you

* Gossip

* Lust

* Gluttony

* Greed

* Slotfulness

And a whole lot more. Now I want you to read what 1 John 3:8-10.

" He who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil hs been sinning from the beginning. THE REASON THE SON OF GOD APPEARD WAS TO DESTROY THE DEVIL'S WORK. No one who is born of God will continue to sin (willfully), because God's seed (Holy Spirit) remains in him; he cannot go on sinning (intentionally) because he has been born of God. This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are; Anyone who does not do what is right is not a child of God; nor is anyone who does not love his brother."

Does God lie? Doesn't the scriptures tell us that God is the same yesterday, today and forever more?

Are you having problems today? Turn everything over to Christ and let His peace cover your heart and mind.

Are you in financial trouble? My God shall supply all of my needs according to His riches in glory. Phil 4:13

Are you sick? By His stripes we WERE healed. 1 Peter 2:24

Is someone attacking you? No weapon formed against me shall prosper, and all those who arise against me in judgement shall fail and be condemned. Isaiah 54: 17

Are you in need of wisdom and understanding? If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God who gives generously to all without finding fault and it will be given to him. James 1:8

Do you need to know you are significant? For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and pray to me and I WILL LISTEN TO YOU. YOU WILL SEEK ME AND FIND ME when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you, declares the Lord.
Jeremiah 29:11-14

As Christian trainers and bodybuilders or fitness enthusiasts, we need to remember these key verses each and every day of our lives. Things may not always seem to go our way, but there is pure truth in these scriptures. Just pray them back to God since He has told us that His word will go out and accomplish the purposes for which He sent it and that it will not return to Him void.

So what's you take on this? Let's have some feed back and increase our knowledge and sharpen one another as iron sharpens iron.

Have a strong and healthy day.

J.R.
