Whose Knocking?
Author: Pat Aman<\/p>\n\n\n\n
John 15:7 \u201cIf you abide in Me and My Word abides in you, you may asked what you will and it shall be.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This week I told someone, hey, \u201cwhen satan knocks at your door, ask Jesus to answer the door for you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But, if I put the quote the way I really would say it, well, \u201cBe the type of lady or man, that when you arise in the morning, the devil says, OH CRAP! SHE\u2019S UP! or HE\u2019S UP!\u201d (smile please)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I know you have hear part of this statement before: \u201cIf you do not embarrass sin, sin will embarrass you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sin will take you farther than you want to go.
Keep you there longer than you want, and cost you more than you will realize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We as Christians should not ever be afraid of satan, but he should be afraid of us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If we are reading God\u2019s Word, Witnessing and Praying daily, satan does not have a leg to stand on in our lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jesus defeated satan in the wilderness by saying, \u201csatan it is written.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThen Jesus was led by the [Holy] Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. After He had gone without food for forty days and forty nights, He became hungry. And the tempter came and said to Him, \u201cIf You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.\u201d But Jesus replied, \u201cIt is written and forever remains written, \u2018Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes out of the mouth of God.\u2019 \u201d Then the devil took Him into the holy city [Jerusalem] and placed Him on the pinnacle (highest point) of the temple. And he said [mockingly] to Him, \u201cIf You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down; for it is written, \u2018He will command His angels concerning You [to serve, care for, protect and watch over You]\u2019; and \u2018They will lift you up on their hands, So that You will not strike Your foot against a stone.\u2019 \u201d Jesus said to him, \u201cOn the other hand, it is written and forever remains written, \u2018You shall not test the Lord your God.\u2019 \u201d Again, the devil took Him up on a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and the glory [splendor, magnificence, and excellence] of them; and he said to Him, \u201cAll these things I will give You, if You fall down and worship me.\u201d Then Jesus said to him, \u201cGo away, Satan! For it is written and forever remains written, \u2018You shall worship the Lord your God, and serve Him only.\u2019 \u201d Then the devil left Him; and angels came and ministered to Him [bringing Him food and serving Him].\u201d
\u202d\u202dMatthew\u202c \u202d4:1-11\u202c \u202d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We should also be able to say, \u201csatan it is written,\u201d and quote the Word of God over anything that satan tries to throw at us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We give satan to much credit. We give him to much rope in our lives and he hangs on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is time we cut that rope using Father God\u2019s Word. His Holy Scriptures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is time to remember that any and everything that has a name has to bow down in the Name and by the Name of Jesus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is time for a change. It is time for satan to fear us waking up each morning, because he knows we are going to read God\u2019s Word, Pray and Witness for Christ, which he does not want us to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is time to scare the tarnation out of satan so much that he says, \u201cOH Crap, they\u2019re up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hey folks it\u2019s time to get real. It is time to stand on our own two feet, and let satan and the world know we are children of God. The world is sick and tired of Holy then Thou Christians, who are acting like the world. Let the world know we are just sinners saved by the mercy and grace of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Remember don\u2019t be so religious acting that you scare people away for God.
