God is near enough to hear when you to call out to Him!

12/5/2017

For what great nation is there that has God so near to it, as the Lord our God is to us, for whatever reason we may call upon Him? And what great nation is there that has such statutes and righteous judgments as are in all this law which I set before you today? Deuteronomy 4:7-8 NKJV

Moses called the nation of Israel to righteousness and obedience to God.

Moses told Israel if they obeyed God’s commands He would be with them and bless them. God would provide for them and give them victory over their enemies. If they worshiped the Lord only they would dwell in a land flowing with milk and honey.

God is the same yesterday today and tomorrow.

Jesus is calling us to obey His righteous commands today. The Lord is calling us to worship Him and only Him today. God’s greatest desire is for us to love Him with all of our hearts, with all of our souls and with all of our minds.

God honors people who honor Jesus today. The Lord blesses people who live in obedience to Him today!

If we honor God in all we do He will honor us. If we draw close to God in our hearts He will draw close to us. God will provide for us and protect us. He will give us victory over our enemies. The Lord will cause us to dwell together in safety and prosperity.

God is doing a new thing in the world. He is doing a new thing in the lives of people who know Him and trust Him today.

What is it God wants to do on this the first day of the rest of your life? God wants to draw you deeper into intimate relationship with Him. Jesus wants you to love Him with all of your heart with all of your soul and with all of your mind!

Jesus is near to you today. You may call upon the Lord for any reason!

Jesus can use you to shake the foundations of the prison and set people free!

Now it happened, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much profit by fortune telling. This girl followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation.” And this she did for many days. But Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out that very hour. Acts 16:16-18 NKJV

The slave girl was speaking the truth. She was possessed by an evil spirit. The evil spirit was drawing people away from Christ!

This attack came as God’s servants went to prayer. The enemy of our souls attacks when we step out in faith. Satan seeks to distract us. He wants us to focus our attention on things other than Jesus.

The devil perverts the truth. He uses it against us. No one can serve two masters. This girl was speaking the truth about Paul and his companions while practicing witchcraft. When people claim to speak for God we must consider how they live.

The girl followed the disciples for several days before they cast the demon out of her. It is important for us to wait on the Lord before stepping out in faith. The bible tells us Paul was greatly annoyed by this girl. Paul was not fearful. The Lord was with Him!

Paul and Silas were put in jail. The owners of the slave girl were angry at the loss of income when the demon was cast out of her. While Paul and Silas were in jail they shared the gospel with the jailer. His entire household was saved.

God uses Satan’s attacks for His glory and our salvation!

Satan is a real being. He takes people captive to do his will. There really are demons who seek to destroy God’s people and bring destruction to our world.

We have nothing to fear from the devil or his demons when we live according to God’s will. We have nothing to fear from anyone or anything when we step out in faith to serve Jesus!

Jesus wants us to fear Him and Him alone. He wants us to know His power and authority are unequaled in all of creation.

God wants you share the gospel of Jesus Christ with the people in your life. Jesus wants you to walk in great boldness because He is with you everywhere you go!

Jesus can use you to shake the foundations of the prison and set people free!

God is near enough to hear when you to call out to Him!
