LETTER FROM HEAVEN
By Rick Mathes
John 5:39 (NASB77) 39 ” You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is these that bear witness of Me;
The Word is Truth. The Word is the essence of Jesus and Jesus is the exact representation of God Almighty. Now that was a real mouthful but it helps to understand when Jesus says, “I am the way, the truth and the life.” Jesus is Truth. I can’t get my mind around a person being a concept except the Word is inhabited by His Holy Spirit and we learn the truth of Jesus. Can you follow this line of reason, this syllogism?
What does the Scripture expect of us?
- Take up your cross and die to sin.
- Pray fervently in words of understanding.
- Be of one accord with your church.
- Be a soul winner and be bold.
- Preach to all who will listen.
- Be responsible in all things.
- Be sure to always exhort and encourage/
- We are commanded to rebuke and correct.
Now brace yourself! You have not just opened a can of worms, you have shaken a hornet’s nest of demon’s hell bent on destroying your efforts to do any of the above. Their poisonous darts are about to fly and they will attack unexpectedly if you blink.
Satan knows your weakest point. The question is “Do you?” When I learned to box the first thing I was taught was to see the punch coming and then develop the skill of counter-punching. The same goes here.
The devil will keep on friendly terms and close to Him until he feels the time to strike is at hand. He’s hunting souls and he’s good at it.
To make matters more challenging; he often uses God’s Word to entice and entrap you in sin by twisting it just a little to make the poison go down more smoothly. He knows the Bible word for word with power of creation, the Scriptures, Satan is only a created creature and he’s no match for the inspired Word of God.
