Introduction

Scripture: Matthew 4:4; 4:7; 4:10-11 (NIV)

We are in a season of great expectancy. Many Christians believe that 2016 is the year that we are going to witness God doing the: “exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask, think or imagine” in our lives. Satan’s job is to throw you off your game and to lead you to believe that “it” –whatever God has shown you, promised you or planned for you – will never happen. So you must be prepared to FIGHT! However you cannot come to this battle using the same war tactics that you used in the past. When the enemy comes in to chip away at, to poke holes in or to utterly destroy your faith in God’s plan, purpose and destiny for your life, take a lesson from Jesus – whip out your sword! When Satan shows up during this Lenten season, confront, declare and remind him: “For it is written…” then watch him go away!


“Choices”

Scripture: Deuteronomy 28:2-6

Being an obedient Christian is often easier said than done. Disobedience takes you further away from or makes you totally miss what God has in store for you. Satan is the author of confusion. He will lead you to believe that doing things his way will yield you much quicker and even better results than following God’s prescribed way. While God does allow you free will, you must remember that Satan is a huge LIAR! God will not withhold any good thing from those who do what is right. So when Satan nudges you to disobey God declare: For it is written: “All these blessings will come on you and accompany you if you obey the Lord your God.”

Prayer

Gracious God, forgive me for anything done in thought, word or deed against your will. Thank you for the Holy Spirit, who resides within me, bringing your word to my remembrance and helping me to obey. Thank you for pouring out new blessings and new mercies each morning. I ask that you continue to have your way in my life. Use me as you see fit. I pray I bring your name glory, In Jesus Name, AMEN!
