Now let’s look at the REAL problem and the REAL answers:

These situations happen to each of us in one fashion or another, and the reason is that from birth there is a war going on FOR each of us. There is God Who birthed us with the air of living and a body to dwell on earth. God intended that we were to be blessed and happy.

Then there is the Devil, Satan and minions who serve him, who are deadly intentional to destroy us. Out of this scenario comes the problems we have in our lives.

We can whoop it! and the Bible tells us HOW to do that.

In America, I cannot speak for every Country, we have ignored the Devil from our Pulpits for so long that many Christians feel that the Devil is a mythological figure.

Nothing is further from the Truth. The Devil is a created Being and is NOT the opposite of God, he was created BY God and God has power and authority over him, and God tells us HOW to overpower him.

It all happens through/by the Name and the Blood of Jesus. We say out LOUD, “I plead the Blood of Jesus!” Satan cannot cross the Bloodline, We become inheritors of that Bloodline by asking Jesus into our hearts to save us.

Every Easter (which is to us Resurrection Sunday) we hear how Jesus rose from the dead, while the week before we were taught to lament that poor Jesus got whooped by the Devil. NOT so!

Yes, the Devil thought he had won. Jesus was gone. NO, no He wasn’t! The Devil actually assisted God in the very plan that God had from the beginning of time.  Jesus did it deliberately.

The Devil duped Eve into sinning by doing what God had said to not do, and Adam knowingly went along with it and gave the Devil a genetic place that passes on that blighted gene to all humankind.

That is actually the SIN with which we are born and Jesus died, shed His Blood, to provide a Blood sacrifice for mankind’s SIN, with which they are born. I don’t know that anyone knows WHY that God requires a blood sacrifice for SIN, but He does. So, He provided Himself to once and forever free us from the rule of that blighted gene inherited from Papa Adam and Mama Eve.

The Devil messed up and God won! That is IF we cooperate with God.

God loves our FREE WILL, He will never take it from us. God will not MAKE us do anything. The Devil CAN’T make us do anything. WE have to make choices and in making  choices we choose to belong to God, or we choose to allow the Devil to destroy us. The Devil can’t assign us to Hell and God doesn’t, WE CHOOSE to go to Heaven or to Hell. We make the choice all by ourselves.

You see when Jesus died, shedding His Body Blood for our SIN, and when we have asked Him into our heats and lives, He makes us to again be in the position He created Adam and Eve before they chose to sin.

HOWEVER, we like them, must chose the right or the wrong...it is critical that we chose the righteous paths upon which to walk by choosing to belong to Jesus.

"That’s too hard,” someone may say. God has it covered.  When Jesus returned to Heaven, after spending 40 days on the earth in His body after He rose from the dead, He told His Disciples to wait for the Promise of God, and 50 days after Jesus resurrected The Holy Spirit came to earth.

Now, when we accept Jesus into our hearts, the Holy Spirit takes up residence inside us and we have within us THE POWER THAT RAISED JESUS FROM THE DEAD! He is that needed third party.  You see, God has us covered and has provided to us all that we need to be in good standing with Him and we CAN be victorious over all the problems that come our way.

There are problems that come to us all but God has it covered to assist us to be OVER COMERS.

That is beautiful news to any of us who look for consolation in substances. We don’t find consolation there except maybe briefly.

Looking to God gives to us a reason to be, and a confidence that we are loved and respected by the number ONE Being of all Creation, the Author of all things GOOD, The Creator of all things.

God says: “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.”

Jesus says: “Come to me, all you that labor and are heavily burdened and I will give you rest. Take my yolk upon you, (get into the harness with Me, I’ll pull with you) and LEARN about Me, for I am meek, (easily understood) and lowly, (one of you by My design, I understand your body, I lived in one also) AND you will find rest unto your soul.” That’s a wonderful Promise. God keeps His promises!

Paul, taught by Jesus, says: “Call upon the NAME of the Lord (Jesus) and you WILL be saved!” Saved from what? SIN and the ruler ship of the Devil’s hold on the flesh you were born into. You will be saved from Hell also. There are multiple Promises about what God is able to do for us when we team with Him.

It is not that He doesn’t want to do wonderful things for us from the time of our birth and He certainly has and does watch over us even before we invite Him into our hearts, but IF we deny Him the legal right to profusely bless us then we are choosing to try to do it on our own, and we can't, because we are not choosing to be under God's authority, we are subject to the Devil.   The thing we must do on our own is to chose Him to be OUR LORD. He has won the Victory and He will certainly share it with us.

When we ask Jesus into our hearts to save us and to restore us then we have just begun a beautiful and magnificent journey which includes getting a Bible, called The Holy Bible, and beginning to LEARN about Him.

We find other Christians if we can, and we share what we learn.

God has given to us POWER, by Holy Spirit, to whoop the holds, addictions and hurts of our lives. Ask Jesus to come into your heart NOW and begin a different life.

If you have done that in the past but find yourself being kicked around, don’t think God has done it to you. You have put yourself in the Devils territory and he is doing those things to you. Repent and return to Jesus.

We all fail at times, but we have the choice to repent and return.

James says: “Confess your sins to God so that you may be saved. Confess your sins to each other so that you may be healed.”
