BECAUSE OF HIS SON

'He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?' - Romans 8 vs 32

Hello Dearly Beloved in the LORD Jesus Christ. I believe that with this epistle, every fear will be dispensed from the hearts of the Believers as to receiving from GOD. Be Blessed.

There are so many believers who the devil have successfully deceived that their expectations which they asked of GOD has been truncated as a result of their sins. May be, they asked GOD for something, and during the course of awaiting Answers, they committed sin, or maybe they had a mysterious dream, they begin to have this (satanic) feeling that they will not receive what they asked God for.

There was a case of a certain young man (A Believer) who was praying GOD for a contract that was already promised him by a firm, and along the line during the case of waiting, he had a dream where he was been seduced by a strange woman, insomuch that he woke up and saw that he had messed himself up. He began to have thoughts in his mind that he will never get that contract, he began to accept the thoughts that the enemy has stolen that contract from him by that dream experience which he had, and not many days from that time, he was called by an agent of the firm never to mind the contract, that they are sorry for the inconveniences. What a crap!

Now, lets analyze that issue. Someone may want to ask, Pastor, didn't the LORD say the devil comes for to steal? {John 10 vs 10}. Yes HE said so, but can satan steal from Christ? - Selah. When we got born again and received the in-dwelling presence of the Holy Spirit, we became one body {1 Corinthians 12 vs 27} and one Spirit {1 Corinthians 6 vs 17} with HIM. That therefore mean if satan steals from the Believer, he has stolen from Christ. And if he cannot steal from Christ (GOD), then he cannot steal from us. - Selah. Therefore what then happened to that Brother? Did satan actually steal the favor from him? Did satan steal the contract? Did that dream actually take it from him? This was what happened. Now, before I proceed, I will like you reading this now not to miss my next post which will be titled 'THAT OLD SERPENT'. That teaching promises to be a clear exposition to the wiles and operations of the devil. Don't miss it!

Now, knowing that the devil cannot steal from the believer, it is important to note that the devil's modus operandi (method of operation) is by lies and deceit. Let's see what the LORD Jesus Christ said concerning him in this regard;

'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 8vs 44 {KJV}

The father of it! Let's also see one more scripture on this note;

'And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.' - Revelations 12 vs 9 {KJV}

You see, his way for manipulation and destruction is evidentially through deceit! Please lets see this and get some light out of it;

'And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.' - Revelations 13 vs 14 {KJV}

Wait a minute, let's bring out the two statements which I have underlined out in that verse;

1- And deceiveth them,
2- By the means of.

Now if we join them together as one statement, we have something like this, 'And deceiveth them by means of...'. You know what that means? It means the devil deceives a man by a means or through a means. - Selah. And you know what, that scripture reveals one means by which the devil shows forth his deceit, which is by the display of Miracles (False). Please get to read my next teaching episode titled 'THAT OLD SERPENT'. It will bless you richly. Now, satan has other means of deceiving, of which are; 1- Through thoughts, 2- Through dreams, 3- Through the things you believe, and our above verse have revealed the fourth (4th) one to us, Through Miracles and Lying wonders. Now, sit back and keep reading as I will be showing you every of these satanic means from the Bible.

THROUGH THOUGHTS

Our LORD Jesus Christ will be the Character for this section. The book of Luke chapter 4 from the verse 1 to the 13th verse speaks of the temptation of the LORD in the wilderness when HE fasted for forty (40) days and forty (40) nights. Now I have taught it here in one of our epistles, and I want to say it again, the temptation of Jesus were all thoughts! These were not real live events, these were thoughts inspired by the devil in the mind of the LORD. I will prove it to you. Let's see the verse 9;

'And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence...' - {KJV}
It says that the devil brought Jesus Christ to Jerusalem. It is very vital to know that Jesus was in the wilderness which was located around Jordan which was a city of Israel then. So how possible is it that Jesus was taking to Jerusalem? Did satan hold HIS Hands and take HIM out of the wilderness? It also says that HE was set on the pinnacle of the temple. Mind you, Jesus never entered Jerusalem until HIS Triumphal Entry! Therefore, we see that all these were thoughts which the devil projected to HIS mind. What was the reason for the thoughts, to see if HE will heed to them, thereby bringing HIM into destruction. But GOD cannot be deceived. AMEN.

So you now see. Sometimes, the thoughts you think are inspired by the devil, for the sole purpose of you accepting them and acting accordingly which end is destruction and disappointment. This is one deception of the devil. So with this, we can see that the dream that young man dreamt inspired the thoughts in his mind that he was not gonna get that contract anymore because of what he had experienced in the dream. This is how satan does it, once he can get you to believe a lie, it automatically means you are not believing the TRUTH which is the Word of GOD. And if anyone is not believing the Word, no matter what he believes, he can't have success. You see the trick? So satan is simply a trickster not that he has any power or authority to make things happen, he simply uses tricks, he is a master of it. - Selah

For the purpose of this teaching, I may not look into all of them. But I will touch them in my next teaching 'THAT OLD SERPENT'. Now lets look into our opening scripture;

'He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?' - Romans 8 vs 32 {KJV}

It says God will give us all things freely with HIM. In other words, our desires, requests, needs, will be granted us because of HIM. Now note the word freely! Freely speaks of charge-less, without price, without conditions. In other words, our receiving from God is not conditioned to anything. It is not conditioned to our good works, it is not conditioned to the kind of thoughts that go through our mind, neither is it conditioned to our kind of dreams. FREELY! Hallelujah! Therefore, because you are in Christ, because you are under Grace, all your needs and requests are non-conditional, they just come freely! Because of Christ! Because of HIS SON! This was the revelation that Brother lacked, thereby letting himself to be deceived by the devil. - Selah

Beloved Child of GOD, let your mind be configured with these TRUTHS, and live a life above fear with so much Faith and Love towards God.

God Bless You.
