We don’t fight the person we’re exchanging harsh words with.

You’re fighting against powers you can’t see.

Know how to stand against it.

Ephesians 6:12 (KJV) – for we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

We rely on ourselves, then man . . . then God.

And we wonder why we make so many unnecessary mistakes, and go through so many unnecessary trials.

Trust God, and you won’t need to rely on the other two.

Proverbs 3:5 (KJV) – Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct by paths.

When we know to do good, and don’t do it, it’s wrong.

It’s a sin.

I Peter 4:17 (KJV) – therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.

There is no temptation too BIG for you to get out of.

Satan may make a way in.

But God has made a way out.

Not sometimes. But, every time.

I Corinthians 10:13 (KJV) – there hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able: but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

We give thanks for the door God opens.

Give Him praise for the door He closed.

Psalm 34:1 (KJV) – I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

Don’t just ask for forgiveness.

Change!

Acts 8:22 (KJV) – repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.

We judge others all the time.

Jesus is your judge and jury.

He overrules!

John 8:15-16 (KJV) – ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man. And yet if I judge, my judgement is true: for I am not alone but I and the Father that sent me.

We do not have more power than God. Nor, do we have power over God.

You have free will and God’s mercy. That’s not power.

Matthew 28:18 (KJV) – and Jesus came and spake unto them saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

Romans 9:15-16 (KJV) – for he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.

Happy New Year!

Thank you Father God for bringing us into another year!

Praise you Father God! In Jesus name!

Psalm 92:1 (KJV) – it is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High.

God will call many, be he will only choose a few.

Who will that be?

Matthew 22:14 (KJV) – for many are called, but few are chosen.
