DO GOOD!

Do Good. That's simple enough, right? Wrong. How many of you know that there is an enemy out there seeking to DEVOUR you?! Well, there is. The bible says that the devil roars about like a lion, seeking whom he may devour. It also says that he comes to steal, kill and destroy. Ever feel like you are on top of the world one minute and then the next, it feels as though a flood came and wiped you out? There is a scripture that says, "when the devil comes in like a flood, the Lord raises a standard against him!"
I was reading 1 Peter 3, this morning. This part really stuck out to me:
1 Peter 3:8-13
8Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble. 9Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing. 10For,
"Whoever would love life
and see good days
must keep his tongue from evil
and his lips from deceitful speech.
11He must turn from evil and do good;
he must seek peace and pursue it.
12For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous
and his ears are attentive to their prayer,
but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil."
13Who is going to harm you if you are eager to do good?

I've heard so many people say that it's easier to do bad than it is to do good. Sure...because doing bad is pleasing to our flesh. But we are to please God...and therefore crucify our flesh and walk in the spirit. Our spirit wars against the lust of the flesh. The two are constantly against one another.
There are many scriptures that I could ramble off right now, but I am praying that God is speaking to you about putting him first. Putting the flesh under and rising above! "Though the outward man perish, the inner man is renewed day by day." AMEN!

A prayer for you today:
Father, in the name of Jesus, I pray that whoever is reading this right now..will feel your holy spirit stronger than ever before. I ask you Father, for a revelation of your power inside of them. Speak to their very being this morning. I ask you Lord, that you would open their eyes and ears of understanding for what it is that you wish to get across to them today. Let this message resonate in their hearts and minds. Help us to crucify the flesh and anything that would war against our spirit and RISE ABOVE, in the name of Jesus, we thank you Lord. Amen!! XO
