Scripture: Joshua 8:1-22

We can’t allow Satan to take over. We all should have someone in our lives that needs God. We shouldn’t stop praying for them. Keep praying. The revival we just had was not just Harmony’s revival but anyone’s, everyone’s. We must lean on God and continue to lean on Him.

14 days of revival and we meet at our regular service and are missing many. Don’t allow Satan to get the upper hand. Continue to pray! In your life, if you hide sin in it, God will not bless over it. You must repent and get rid of the sin. You can’t ask God for something if sin is in your camp. Before you can see the battle won you must repent, and remove the sin. Once repentance is made we can then begin to see God’s work. We all must be honest. It’s easy to ignore the sin against God. It doesn’t matter how big or little the sin is, God will NOT bless over it. 

People are always watching your every move. They watch for you to stumble in your Christian walk. You will stumble because you’re human, but repentance should be made to not only God but to all of the ones that see or know your sin.

We must be willing to get uncomfortable for God. It’s easy to attend church but when God requires you to do something, that’s when it gets hard. God is with you all the time. He has the plan drawn up and just asks you to be the mouthpiece. If you don’t do your part, He will find someone else to do it. God sent His only son for everyone, including you, therefore He cares, and loves you. 

Satan will tell you every single day that you can’t do what God asks. We should always be on high alert for what Satan is doing. This doesn’t mean to begin to watch/listen to the news because you can become to be consumed. Just walk out into the world and you’ll be attacked by the devil. He is a liar and always will be. Don’t eat what he is trying to feed you.

It only takes one second to be lost. Once Jesus reveals Himself to you for salvation, you’re lost. Don’t wait for another second to accept His invitation because if you die, Hell will be your eternity. When you are lost you will do things trying to find happiness. That happiness will be there but it’s limited. You will always be looking for your next happiness. Once you’re saved, you will never lose your happiness because that happiness lives inside you. Jesus is your happiness beyond happiness.

We must hold that line. People are telling our children that it’s okay to be who you want to be. Live how you want to be as long as it makes you happy. Choose your gender on what makes you happy. Satan is running around rampantly lying to everyone just because he hates, HATES God.

When Satan comes sniffing around your salvation and life, tell God about it. Let God run him off, but if you’ve got sin in your life then God will not honor that until repentance is made. All that God is asking us to do is to hold the line. Keep pushing towards the mark. It might seem like a small battle to you but you don’t know what kind of victory is about to happen. Don’t give up ground. Satan will tell you that your walk with God doesn’t matter. Study your bible, pray to God, repent always, etc.
