We live our lives hiding behind things, and people, and most of us don’t know who we truly are. How can we live our lives being transparent – naked, to others, when we are not transparent – naked, with ourselves.

We allow ourselves to be deceived by Satan, and most don’t do anything about it because we believe that’s the way it is. It’s not!

Satan has a way with us through pride. He tells us that being humble is weak, and pride is strength. Sorry to burst your bubble satan, because it’s the opposite. Pride is of the world, which is weakness and shame.  Humility is of God, which is strength and honor.

Therefore, walk in humility.

Proverbs 29:23 (KJV) – a man’s pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.

I John 2:16 – for all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

 

When we walk in pride, we are hiding behind shame and weaknesses. We don’t want the world to know that we fear, but that we have it all together. But we don’t! The very things that we hide behind pride, will come to the light.

When we walk in humility, God acts on our behalf, exalts us, lifts us up, fights our battles, and makes our enemies, our footstool.

Free yourself from the pride that’s keeping you from being free, from being humble. The only way you will be clothed with transparency is through God, our Father. His way is life, freedom, joy and peace.

Proverbs 11:2 (KJV) – when pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom.

James 4:10 (KJV) – humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

I Peter 5:6 (KJV) – humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time.

I Corinthians 4:5 (KJV) – therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.

You have authority to speak over your problems.

Talk to your problems or your problems will talk and rule over you.

Luke 9:1 (KJV) – then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure disease.

Luke 10:19 (KJV) – behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

Workers of iniquity are in our lives for a reason. Their job is to stir us up.

Sometimes when God is moving us to get our attention, and we don’t listen to him, He allows the workers of iniquity to move us outside of our comfort zone.  He allows things to happen, that we truly don’t like, just to get us on the right track.

Let God open the door that you are trying to close. He’s only wants to bless you.

Philippians 3:2-3 (KJV) – beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.

Psalm 37:1 (KJV) – fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.

Romans 15:29 (KJV) – and I am sure that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fullness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.

People talk about us behind our backs all the time. Saying negative things out of jealousy, hatred, or envy. Sometimes, we may never know what was ever said. But, whether we know or not, those unkind words are pushing us forward.

When someone plots against you to do you harm, mentally or physically, God always causes it to work out for your good. See everything as coming from God, and know that no weapon that is form against you will prosper.

So, dont worry about what someone is saying about you, they are just feeding your growth. God is fighting your battles. You have the victory, and the battle is already won!

Romans 8:28 (KJV) – and we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Isaiah 54:17 (KJV) – no weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgement thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord

Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 (KJV) – let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgement, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

Exodus 14:14 (KJV) – the Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.

Father God, deliver me from evil.

Only you can deliver me Father. I can’t do myself. I need you. Your word says, nothing is impossible with God.

Deliver me Father God. Show yourself mighty. I believe Father God, help my unbelief.

In Jesus name. Amen.

II Timothy 4:18 (KJV) – and the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Luke 18:27 (KJV) – for with God nothing shall be impossible.

Mark 9:24 (KJV) – and straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.

Satan is the father of lies, and crafty with his lies. Everything he does is wrong, and there is no good in him. But, he is good at what he does, that’s why we tend to listen to him.

Read the word of God, so that you are able to know, that Satan does not have your best interest at hand.

God is the way, the truth, and the life.

John 8:44 (KJV) – ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

John 14:6 (KJV) – Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

If you love God, you will strive to do what he ask of you, and strive to do those things that are right.

God did not say, I will love you if you keep my commandments. He said, if you love me, keep my commandments. God loved you first, love him back.

John 14:15 (KJV) – if you love me, keep my commandments.

I John 4:19 (KJV) – we love him, because he first loved us.

It is God’s will for us to trust him, to have faith. Most of all, to have charity.

We can have all the faith in the world, but if we don’t have charity, we are nothing.

Therefore, give!

I Corinthians 13:2 (KJV) – and though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

I Corinthians 13:13 (KJV) – and now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

What you have done to others, whether good or bad, you have already done to yourself. Treat others the way you want to be treated.

From this moment forward, do everything as unto the Lord, because everything you do, is between you and God.

Galatians 6:7-8 (KJV) – be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

Matthew 7:12 (KJV) – therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

Colossians 3:23 (KJV) – and whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men.
