A FAITH-FILLED
WORD OR TWO...
A mini-message
from God's Word for your week!
ZERO TOLERANCE
FOR THE TERRORIST OF ALL TIME
Terrorism - it's
at our doorstep again. In light of today's foiled terrorism plot, we're aware,
once again, that terror runs wild in our world today. The USA has adopted
a "zero tolerance" for
any suspicion of a terrorism attack, sometimes to our annoyance or amusement.
Airport security tosses our toothpaste, our creams, our liquids, perfume, hair
gel, any carry-on item that slightly resembles the makings of a possible
terrorist plot - and it's not funny!
There's another
terrorist, ready to blast you and me out of the skies of life - if we let him.
Satan, the angel of light, thrown down from the heavens, now roams our earth
striking terror in the hearts of anyone who breathes - and God's got a word for
him - zero tolerance!
GOD'S WORD: ZERO
TOLERANCE FOR BODY-BASHING
There's a devil
out there - and he seeks to terrorize you over every inch of your body--if you
let him. Why, you may be on the verge of cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer's, a heart
attack, a stroke, or perhaps even a disease not yet invented or prevented. You
are terminal; your body is aging; it won't be long 'til you're out to
pasture--in a nursing home, in a mental facility, in a box six feet under.
Devil, God
exercises zero tolerance over your attack on His child. "Perfect love
casteth out fear" so begone, in Jesus' Name!
GOD'S WORD: ZERO
TOLERANCE FOR SOUL-DASHING
There's a devil
out there - and he's wants to attack your mind and soul, to dash your hopes and
dreams until you are emotionally paralyzed with fear and apprehension. He will
attack your mind with imaginations and fearful anticipations; he will dash your
spirit until there's no spirit left--if you let him.
Devil, God
exercises zero tolerance over your attack on His Child. "Why art thou cast
down, O my soul? And why are thou disquieted within me? Hope in God; for I
shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God (Psalm
43:5 KJV)" - hear that, devil, and begone, in Jesus' Name!
GOD'S WORD: ZERO
TOLERANCE FOR SPIRIT-CRASHING
There's a devil
out there - and he's out to dash and crash your spirit with disappointment,
discouragement, dismay and more--if you let him. He'll put you down, then pound
you down, with a hammer that takes perfect aim at your insecurities,
sensitivities and inabilities until you crumble in despair under his evil eye.
Devil, God
exercises zero tolerance over your attack on His Child. "For ye have not
received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit
of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father (Romans 8:15 KJV)." Hear that,
devil, and begone in Jesus' Name!
Someday our arch
enemy will hear God's final word!
Zero tolerance will reach its ultimate limit and he will be cast down
forever, never again to attack the body, soul and spirit of His children. Take
that devil...I plan to have a great day!
Scripture:
"Forasmuch, then, as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he
also himself likewise took part of the same, that through death he might
destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil, and deliver them,
who, through fear of death, were all their lifetime subject to bondage (Hebrews
2:14,15.)"
Prayer:
"Lord, I am sick and tired of living in the atmosphere of anxiety - body,
soul and spirit - and I claim victory through the Cross and through Your Word,
In Jesus' Name, Amen."

FUN 'n FAITH
FOUND ON THE WEB...
A sampling of a
"fun 'n faith" Web articles or links!
DEAR CHILD
I just wanted to
remind you today of how beautiful you are because there is a father of lies who
will try to deceive you.
He will try to
tell you that you are not good enough, not attractive enough, not thin enough,
not strong enough, not smart enough, not righteous enough, and that you are
simply unimportant to Me.
He will try to
tell you that you have broken one too many promises, that you have fallen one
too many times, that you have lived one too many lies, and that you've been
going in the wrong direction so long that it is pointless to turn back now.
But guess
what? YOU DO NOT BELONG TO
HIM. HE IS NOT YOUR FATHER. I AM.
You see, you are
My creation. My workmanship. You have been borne of My thought,
every part of you placed together by My hands. You have My thumbprint upon you. You are a princess/a
prince, did you know that?
You are My
child, the child of THE King! I look at you and see a precious, priceless
pearl. There is no ocean I would not swim, no mountain I would not climb, no
price I would not pay to have you and to be with you and call you my own. I already have.
I have done all
that I could, given all that there is. I desire to be with you every moment of
every day. How I long for you to talk to Me every day.
My love for you
never grows cold. My promises are never broken (contrary to what he might lead
you to believe). My character
never changes.
And you, my
child, have been made in My image. I love you dearly, unconditionally and
completely.
I understand
every emotion that you have. I've
been there. I count every tear that you cry. I know every hair on your head.
And do you know what? I even know
your weaknesses and your failures and your fears. I know those hidden parts of you that you wish would go
away. Those dark corners of your world that you stuff deep down, praying that
no one will ever see. I have already seen them and they will not change my love
for you. Nothing will.
I love your
heart and I desire all of it.
I just wanted to
remind you today of how beautiful you are and how precious you are to Me.
With
Unmeasurable Love,
Your Heavenly
Father
