You Have The Power – Now Take It Back

John 10:10

10The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.


I was listening to one of my favorite Gospel songs. "Faithful is Our God" The song says, “I’m reaching the harvest God promised me – Take back what the Devil stole from me and I rejoice today, for I can recover it all!” I love this song! I can listen to it all day everyday. It simply gets me ready for the spiritual warfare I face everyday.


It is saying that as true believers and followers of Christ; We have the power to take back what God has blessed us with and Satin has stolen. We have the power to take back what we have given to Satin. We have the power to take back what he has stolen from us! You can take back your life! We have power over sin and it does not have to consume us! It is time to take it back! We have control over our finances; it is time to take it back! We have control over our prayer lives; it is time to take it back! We have control over our repentance it is time to take it back! We have the power of Praise and worship, take it back! The Devil is a liar! Take it back!


Yes! Take back your life, your health, your marriage, your children, your prayer life… Take back whatever the devil has stolen from you and begin to reach the harvest God has promised you. But you will never fully realize what God has for you if you are not seeking it through the study and understanding of his word. In fact, I would contend that you are giving more to Satin than he is having to steal from us. It is like giving your life to the thief in the night, which we know is coming to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. Often times we give the thief the best of our time, talents, and treasures with no regards to what he is truly taking.


It is more difficult to take something back after you have willingly given it, but still! You have the power over sin and death through the one that has come that we might have life, and that we might have life more abundantly. Yes! Reach for the harvest God promised you – Take back what the Devil stole from you, Take back what you have given to him and through the power of the Holy Spirit rejoice today! Rejoice for we can recover it all more abundantly. Have a blessed week, In Jesus’ Name... Amen!

My Grace is Sufficient

2 Corinthians 12:7-9 7To keep me from becoming conceited because of these surprisingly great revelations, there was given me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. 8Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. 9But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. We can't deny that there is suffering and tragedy in the world, suffering that is so often incomprehensible to us. We can look on a global scale, and see children being slaughtered for no good reason--or for any reason at all. In Iraq thousands of innocent people are being terrorized and tormented in the name of Islam. We can look on a national scale, and see friends and relatives of the victims of hurricane Katrina still trying to put their lives back together. And, most importantly, we can look on a PERSONAL level, and see our own...

How Is Your Spirit?

Proverbs 4:23 – Above all else, guard your heart (the center of your soul), for out of it comes the issues of life. How is your spirit this morning? That is the kind of question Saints use to ask each other on a regular basis during Sunday School or Bible Study. The purpose of this question was posed not to pry into each other’s life. Rather, those early Saints knew that the world, the flesh and of Satan’s working overtime in wearing our spirits down. They knew, as we know, about days, weeks, months and even years of spiritual emptiness and dryness, when the words of Scripture are empty, prayer is meaningless, receiving communion is ritualistic, our sensitivity to the needs of others is dull, and God seems very disinterested in our lives. Outwardly, we continue to go through the motions, doing our duties, keeping up appearances, telling everyone that everything is “Fine, just fine,” but inwardly there is a deep thirst, a powerful craving for something more. We would like to t...
