    "Satan is constantly endeavouring to attract attention to man in the place of God. He leads the people to look to bishops, to pastors, to professors of theology as their guides instead of searching the scriptures to learn their duty for themselves. Then by controlling the minds of these leaders he can influence the multitudes according to his will." 4SP 413.3

    Blessed Sabbath, "As the Sabbath was the sign that distinguished Israel when they came out of Egypt to enter the earthly Canaan, so it is the sign that now distinguishes God’s people as they come out from the world to enter the heavenly rest." {CCh 261}

    Thought for the Day

    "God might have committed the message of the gospel, and all the work of loving ministry, to the heavenly angels. He might have employed other means for accomplishing His purpose. But in His infinite love He chose to make us co-workers with Himself, with Christ and the angels, that we might share the blessing, the joy, the spiritual uplifting, which results from this unselfish ministry." STC.

    Joshua 1:9

    Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

    When we fall in love with Jesus, we just can't help but change because Jesus changes us! The old person that we were is gone and our new life as Christians now defines who we are. However, we cannot experience a vibrant life in Christ one moment and dance with the devil the next! We must take sides and choose whom we serve, because we can only serve "one master!" If we choose to "dabble" in sin, we will be miserable!

    We simply can not lie, cheat, gossip or any other sin and live a life of purity and commitment to our Lord and Saviour. The Bible says in Joshua 24:15, "...choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve...but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord."

    If we make God first in our lives we will experience the real joy in living, for Jesus IS the joy in life and its not possible to be happy and serve Satan! We should make our choice to serve Jesus and not dance with the devil!

    Those who realize their dependence upon God, will feel that they must be honest with their fellow men. - CS 77

    No more loneliness: If you're struggling with loneliness, struggle no more, because you're not alone. Satan loves to see God's people feeling weak, depressed, lonely, and he knows that this is the time when you're most vulnerable to his attacks.

    Its easy to let the injustices of this world get you down. But stop for a moment to see things through God's eyes. No matter how bleak or discouraging the world looks around you, there is beauty to behold and blessings to praise God for!

    Willing to obey. Obedience is very important to God, so much so that the Bible tells us in John 14:15, "If you love Me, keep My commandments." Our willingness to obey God shows Him how much we love Him. How many Christians will pray and ask God to answer their prayers, and at the same time, they are disobedient to God by doing things they know to be wrong. This can't possibly be pleasing to God!

    There are hard truths sometimes in your thoughts, I like that a lot...I personally stick to saying sorry instead of asking for something. Whatever his plan is I want that...

    When you fall in love with with Jesus, you want to show Him how much you love Him! And the best way to do that is by obeying Him!

    God doesn't require perfect obedience before He responds to our prayers, but if we really want to experience the power of Jesus' name, then we will cheerfully obey Him. God will give us the strength, courage, and yes, even make us willing to do whatever He wants us to do!

    "Commit your way to the Lord, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass." -Psalms 37:5

    In the absence of faith and trust which brings perplexity, distressing fears and surmisings of evil. God will do great things for His people when they put their entire trust in Him.

    Treasured sins: Many run from God because they want to hang on to their treasured sins. They fear that a Christian's life is boring, and they'll miss out on all the things they can't do. But just the opposite is true. When you accept Jesus as your personal Saviour, you will experience freedom such as you have never known! You won't be weighed down by selfishness, resentment, fear and anger.

    You'll feel like a prisoner that has just been set free! Your heart will be filled with joy and your shoulders light as a feather because you're no longer trying to carry heavy burdens. Ask God to forgive your sins, and commit your life to Him. There is nothing too great for God to forgive. Surrendering your heart and life to Jesus is the most liberating feeling in the world, and it's the only road to true happiness!

    Father we thank you for the Holy Spirit, please fill us with with Your Holy Spirit. Lord please forgive us for anything that we have done that is not pleasing before You, wash and cleanse us. Father please draw us close to You. Lord may we walk in Your ways all the days of our lives. May we honour and glorify you in all that we do. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

    Dear Lord, we thank You for your protection and provision. Lord we thank You for loving us even when we are not worthy of Your love. We thank You that You don't treat us like we deserve. Lord we thank You for Your promises, may we always hold onto them.
