Stop trying so hard

“Whoever believes in Me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them…”

John 7:38

Stop trying so hard!! Be yourself, your God-given-self.  Life will be much easier and relaxing and enjoyable and full of possibilities; the rivers of living water will flow freely within you.

Teach others with your life

“... Teach believers with your life: by word, by demeanor, by love, by faith, by integrity.  Stay at your posts reading Scripture, giving counsel... Keep a firm grasp on both your character and your teaching.  Don’t be diverted.  Just keep at it.  Both you and those who hear you will experience salvation.”  

-1 Timothy 4:11-14, 15-16 MSG

God's Word can conquer the unconquerable!

"For forty wilderness days and nights [Jesus] was tested by the Devil... Jesus answered by quoting Deuteronomy... The Devil retreated temporarily, lying in wait for another opportunity."  

Adapted from Luke 4:1-13

Three things:

One: 

We will be tested in this world, as Jesus was tested when he walked with us in this world, by the Devil.

Two: 

We can defeat the threats and temptations of Satan by using the Word of God as our ammunition, as it is exactly what Jesus did to defeat Satan when he was in the wilderness for forty days and nights.

Three:  

We must continue to dig into the Word of God, live by his Spirit, (which is living in us), quote, speak, pray, and believe His Word with all our mind, body, and soul, and speak it to the Devil, because the Devil is always lying in wait, waiting for our weak moments in life so he can destroy us.

God's Word can conquer the unconquerable!
