A Hurting Word...
You're invited to the official grand opening of "The Broom Closet at Peggie's Place!" Last week's devotional prompted friends to send me some great broom graphics, AND a broom closet--never a dull moment at Peggie's Place, for sure! So come and join the fun--bring your own food. No food is furnished in broom closets--only tools to WORK!!
Now you must be aware that you are not the only one prowling around in my broom closet--had another sneaky visitor who found a BIG broom--you can guess who it was, and then know I've allowed him NO house room. AND all he's got is a BROOM--I've got the SWORD--and so do you! So pick it up, and let's USE it!
A Helping Word...or Two!
"When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained, what is man, that thou art mindful of him? And the son of man, that thou visitest him? For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honor...O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! (Psalm 8:3,4,9 (KJV)."Is he BASHING your self-confidence?...NOT gonna win--Your confidence is in Him, and in His Word. The God who dwells within you is the strength of your life! And here's your SWORD!"I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvelous are thy works, and that my soul knoweth right well (Psalm 139:14 KJV)."
"Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore; ye are of more value than many sparrows (Luke 12:6,7 KJV)."
"Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the children of God...(1 John 3:1 KJV)."
"I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me (Galatians 2:20 KJV).."
"And this is the confidence that we have in him that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us; And if we know that he hear us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him (1 John 5:14,15 KJV)."
"...in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength (Isaiah 30:15 KJV)."
"Cast not away, therefore, your confidence, which hath great recompense of reward, For ye have need of patience that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise (Hebrews 10:35,36 KJV)."
"For the Lord shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken (Proverbs 3:26 KJV)."
"I can do all things through Christ, who strengtheneth me (Philippians 4:13 KJV)."
"And such trust have we through Christ toward God; not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything as of ourselves, but our sufficiency is of God (2 Corinthians 3:4,5 KJV)."
Is he TRASHING your self-worth? ...NOT gonna win--You are redeemed from your past. Your sins are under the Blood; you are pure and precious in His sight. And here's your Sword!
"As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us (Psalm 103:12 KJV)."The enemy of your soul may use his handle-less broom to smash your self-esteem, bash your self-confidence, and trash your self-worth, but do you know his REAL tool? Let me share a recent note sent me by a great friend, evangelist, and servant of the Lord! May it encourage your heart as it did mine."There is, therefore, now no condemnation to them who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit, For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death (Romans 8:1,2 KJV)."
"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9 KJV)."
"We empower the devil by our fear! Much as faith opens the doors of our soul to the Lord, so fear does something similar with the devil. I find it best to laugh at the devil, because he does not know how to handle that. He thrives on fear. Once we get goosebumps at his action, he's got us running. That's why the Bible says, "Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh unto you."And that's just a word--from my heart--and a servant's heart--to yours!So stop taking him seriously! Laugh at him! Keep up your positive faith! And if he gets too close, zap him with a rebuke in the Name of Jesus! Just don't run scared!
Now...lean back, take a big breath, and laugh the devil to scorn!"
His Healing Word"Wherefore, take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.....Above all, taking the shield of faith, with which ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked, and tke the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God (Ephesians 6: 13,16,17 KJV)."
"Lord, I refuse to listen to the devil's lies. I refuse to be defeated. I take up the mighty Sword you have given me, the Word of God, and I WILL use it against the enemy of my soul this week. In the Name of Jesus, the All-Conquering One, Amen."

Please note that while I strongly adhere to major tenets of the evangelical Christian faith, I may not personally agree with every specific doctrinal belief set forth in other Christian pages. I do want to provide a diversity of links and resource material for the entire Body of Christ to enjoy, and trust you will view it as such.A safety tip: Internet links and material may include other links and/or material which do not reflect my Christian views or yours. Please choose wisely and use with discretion! And if you find an ugly spider hiding in a dark corner, you may smash it with a broom from my BROOM CLOSET--I hate offensive stuff too!
