How to overcome the devil's hurdles?

Hi....

In this spiritual race the devil does place hurdles on the way, to make us stumble and fall.

Satan lays traps in form of temptations and we need to watch and pray.

Matthew 26:41

"Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak."

What can we do to overcome the devil's hurdles...?

 Set your eyes on Jesus Christ your Savior, keep your eyes fixed on HIM and stayed glued to your goal....!

 Don't look back at the old neighbourhood you left behind...

 Shun objects and places of lust that lure you to sin....Lust is harmful. Need to be content with what you have.

1Timothy 6:6-11

6But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. 8But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. 9People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. 10For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

 11But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness.

 1 Peter 1:14

14As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance.

 Flee temptation like Joseph did.

 Genesis 39:11 One day he went into the house to attend to his duties, and none of the household servants was inside. 12 She caught him by his cloak and said, "Come to bed with me!" But he left his cloak in her hand and ran out of the house.

 Burn down bridges that connect you to your old neighbourhood & bring back sinful thoughts...

 Even if you should stumble and fall, just call out to your Lord, He'll come and lift you up, dust the dirt off you and help you run your race again.

A looser is not the one who falls but the one who stays on down.God always has an escape plan for us. Let's always seek His help and guidance.

1 Corinthians 10:13

No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear.But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.

Remember your Creator in the days of your youth.....

Hi...

God wants the YOUTH to Know Him and taste His love when they are young.

Psalm 34:8

"Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him."That's why the Word of God says in..

Ecclesiastes 12:1

"Remember your Creator
       in the days of your youth,
       before the days of trouble come
       and the years approach when you will say,
       "I find no pleasure in them".

All you youth and young at heart the Lord wants to be your 1st love, He wants to be the Lord of your life because only HE can help you to fight and resist the temptations you face in your daily life.

If you are His child know that...your body is the "Temple of the Holy Spirit"

1 Corinthians 6:19,

"Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;"

Your heart belongs to Jesus. He has paid an infinite price for your soul.

He loves you with an everlasting love.

A young heart is a Precious offering to the Lord, the most valuable gift that can be presented to our Savior.

Is there anyone out there (I mean young people) who still do not know Jesus as your personal Savior??

Go to Him as you are, give your heart to Jesus. He will wash you with His Precious Blood. As you confess your sins, repent, He will cleanse you of all your past sins.

He will write your name in the Book of Life.

You will receive Eternal Life.

JESUS WANTS YOU TO LIVE A HOLY, SANCTIFIED LIFE FOR HIM.

He will help you walk the Narrow Path. Just cling on to Him.

Today He wants to Raise the standard of Holiness in your life.

Even as the world around gets darker and darker, He wants you to be the Light and shine out for JESUS.

Satan too wrestles hard for an young heart. He wants to catch them young...Jesus knows that and wants to help beat the enemy's temptations and so says...

"Remember your Creator
       in the days of your youth."

Stay Blessed,

YSIC,

Julia

DELIVERANCE FROM L.U.S.T. Lucifer’s Ultimate Sin Trap (By:BRIDE OF CHRIST STANDING IN THE GAP MINISTRIES)

DELIVERANCE FROM LUST

But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity,
or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people. (Eph. 5:3 NIV)

Father,

I come boldly before Your throne of grace and mercy to find help and strength my time of need. Lord Your word says to watch and pray so that we will not enter into temptation, for we know that the spirit is willing, but Father my flesh is weak.

Lord, I submit myself to You, for Your word says that if we submit ourselves unto You, that we could resist the enemy and he would flee from us. Lord I am fully submitted to You, all that I am, all that I ever hope to be. I surrender unto You.

Father, I am weak but thou art strong, I know in my weakness You are made strong. I know that my strength is not in my will to withstand the devil and his many temptations, but my faith, my strength, my hope is in You. Therefore, Lord I confess that I am strong in You, and in the power of Your might.

Father, in the name of Jesus, I cast down every wicked, lustful, lascivious, and unclean thought of the enemy in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. I refuse to allow any thoughts of the enemy to enter in; I dismiss them from me in the name of Jesus. Father, I pray that You will cause me to think upon those things which are pure, honest, and of a good report, and I pray that You will not allow my mind to wander into idleness, but to stay upon the name of Jesus.

Father, I thank You for revealing the evil lustful spirit that was trying to confuse me. I thank You for not allowing me to be drawn away by his words of flattery, his lustful eyes, or his gifts of deceit. I thank You for not allowing me to be overcome with lust in my eyes, for I know the eyes are the door to the heart, and Your words says to guard my heart with all diligence. So Father, please help me to guard my heart by the words that I speak.

Father, I pray that You will place upon me the whole amour of God, so that I will always be able to stand against the tricks of the enemy. I pray that You will lead and deliver me from every temptation of lust, sin, and evil.

In the name of Jesus, I take authority over Satan, every principality, every evil spirit, and every spirit of wickedness in high places. I bind them up in the name of Jesus Christ and render them helpless from operating in my life. In the name of Jesus I bind and cast off ever spirit of lust, adultery, fornication, lasciviousness, and uncleanliness in my life. Father, I surrender my body to you as a living sacrifice, and I recognize that my body is the temple of the Almighty Living God and a dwelling place for His Holy Spirit and I rejoice in knowing that the blood of Jesus Christ covers me.

Satan, in the name of Jesus, every stronghold, You have tried to bring against me has been rendered helpless, powerless and ineffective to operate in my life, by the authority of Jesus Christ! I put off all forms of lust and put on the new nature of righteousness, purity, and honesty. Jesus has defeated satan in my life, and now you are under my feet, and your power of lust and sin is broken in my life.

Father, I thank You for hearing my prayer, and delivering me from the tricks of the enemy. I thank You for Your word and how it is established in my heart and in my life. I thank You for giving me power over the enemy, I thank You for strengthening me so that I will not defile my body, and that it will be a temple for the Holy Spirit. Thank You Lord, for restoring me, for cleansing me, and for forgiving me for my weakness. I praise You; I give You all the glory and say Hallelujah to the name of Jesus.

In JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH name Amen
