What if you went to the doctor for an ailment hoping to find a cure and that doctor stood there speaking about how lovely you were, your hair is pretty, your skin and nails were good but never mentioned to you that you have cancer and the only way to cure it was to cut it out, because that news would make you upset?
I know, silly right! Well, the world has a disease, that disease is sin, the ailment will not just kill you even though it may, but it will for sure send someone with this disease to hell to burn.
The churches these days, for the most part, are withholding the cure to embrace the disease because we like the disease, it makes us feel good, but it will send many to hell unless they realize the cure.
That cure write about is Jesus Christ. Without Him no one will see heaven.
John 15:5 " 5I am the vine and you are the branches. The one who remains in Me, and I in him, will bear much fruit. For apart from Me you can do nothing."
John 14:6-7 " 6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. 7 If you had known Me, you would know My Father as well. From now on you do know Him and have seen Him.”…"

The Devil Wants Us to be Like Him
The devil wants us to be like him, if he can get us to focus on our trials and on the people in our lives that want to harm us, he can keep us bogged down in depression and ineffectiveness.
When Christ is our focus, we can admit the things we encounter, encourage others that we see the things they encounter, while using the tools in the Bible that answer these tactics and manipulations.
The Bible is full of principles that overcome the wiles of the devil, even walking back the effects he and his minions have had on us over the years.
Read the Bible to find the principle that fits the things we encounter, there is where our strength is, in Christ, in His Word and in obedience to His principles.
Psalm 91
1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
Will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress,
My God, in whom I trust!”
3 For it is He who delivers you from the snare of the trapper
And from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with His pinions,
And under His wings you may seek refuge;
His faithfulness is a shield and bulwark.
5 You will not be afraid of the terror by night,
Or of the arrow that flies by day;
6 Of the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
Or of the destruction that lays waste at noon.
7 A thousand may fall at your side
And ten thousand at your right hand,
But it shall not approach you.
8 You will only look on with your eyes
And see the recompense of the wicked.
9 For you have made the Lord, my refuge,
Even the Most High, your dwelling place.
10 No evil will befall you,
Nor will any plague come near your tent.
11 For He will give His angels charge concerning you,
To guard you in all your ways.
12 They will bear you up in their hands,
That you do not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread upon the lion and cobra,
The young lion and the serpent you will trample down.
14 “Because he has loved Me, therefore I will deliver him;
I will set him securely on high, because he has known My name.
15 “He will call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble;
I will rescue him and honor him.
16 “With a long life I will satisfy him
And let him see My salvation.”
Hallelujah!
