Thought for the Day

"God wants you to know about your enemy, his boundaries, his abilities and his inabilities; not to get to know him better, but to empower you against the wiles of the wicked by revealing the truth about what he can and cannot do. There is no excuse for Christians not understanding the boundaries imposed on your enemy.

Here are some truths extracted from 37 years of studying scripture:

• Every idle word - every impure thought
• every word of gossip - every unkind word
• every demeaning or discouraging remark
• every word spoken out of anger
• every negative and pessimistic word

all give satan tools to work with.

he will enter any door, any mouth, any opportunity, any mind, that is left open for him. satan cannot win the war for your soul, but he is not in it to win the war for your soul. he is in it for the sheer wickedness of desecrating the people of God."
