Destroying the work of the devil

-

Jesus came to establish a covenant, a new close relationship between us and God. His first priority was to destroy all the barriers the devil had built so that he (Jesus) can restore us back. He took the initiatives and showed us that God loves us to an extent that we can’t believe or comprehend. God regularly opens our eyes to realize what is in his heart for us. Along our journey with Jesus we gradually understand how the work of the devil is holding us back. Here are four barriers which Jesus destroyed:

1-Worries

If you are working as hard as possible to secure the earthy living then let me tell you that Jesus wants you to know that he can bless you to the level above which your business may collapse. He wants to comfort you financially, his will is blessing and prosper. God wants to visit your business; he wants to be closer to you even while you are at work. He wants to be your partner and in the same way he wants you to work with him in his mission to restore his children.

2- Doubting God’s kind will

You may ask yourself yes he can but does he want to? Yes he can but more importantly he wants too. Jesus is a lover; he wants to touch you a loving touch. When he wanted to define himself he said God is Love. His love is the reason why he says” Yes, I want” and the same reason why he sometimes says “no”. Whether he replied your request or he didn't be sure that the reason behind both situations is his love. If because of his love he gave his son to save you how would not he freely give you all things?

3-Guilt

Jesus salvation made us clean and gave us his righteousness. Who could bring any charge against God's elect? The Bible said it clear there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Jesus also set us free from the fear of facing the holy God. Our sin is no longer a barrier. By the blood of Jesus we are not afraid of God’s holiness.

4- Paralysis

Jesus was given the authority to forgive sins, so that he can set us free and give us back our liberated will and to grant us control over our life. His will is to lead us to the genuine comfort, to our real home; the arms of our loving heavenly father. Run Home!

God is faithful

Mosses, David, Abraham and Joseph When we think of them we think of the salvation leader of Israel, the mighty king of praise, the blessed father of faith, the man who defeated sin and hanger. These are the ideas that come to our minds when we remember them, but in their history there is something different, something common between those heroes and period of time they all lived with faith above all doubts. And here it is; they all kept their faith in God while they were waiting for his promises to come true. It took God 40 years to reveal to Mosses how he will use him to deliver his nation, while David lived rejected and escaping from the king even though he was the anointed real king, Abraham was promised a blessings and a son who shall inherit this blessing while all wisdom and previous experiences were saying this was impossible and unreasonable. Finally Joseph was given a vision from God and for years he was treated as a guilty slave in jail. They all waited in the hard time, in t

This should be my life

Today I asked myself what is the most important thing in my life? It is a familiar question but finding the best answer is so important because this answer will determine your priorities, choices, goals and plans otherwise your life is just hanging around with no clear purpose or principles. The first idea that came to my mind is to be happy, but wait a minuet I recognize this voice, I usually hear it while I am hungry or tired. Yeah! it is the voice of the natural human living within me. Happiness can't be a reason for living otherwise I will be so self-centered and greedy. Happiness supposed to be a result of achieving a higher goal. But what is a good target? How about the challenge to work as hard as possible to achieve my targets lets say success, money, power or even competing with others to be a better person. No way, I still have the same problem, this also sounds even more selfish Since my first two guesses were self-centered, I started to look around me and realized I am

How to deal with healthcare burdens

  “The doctor has just told me I have pancreases cancer. I didn’t hear anything he said after that, would you please explain to me what does this mean again.” “Can you check for me again the diagnosis, I thought I have lung cancer but the papers mentioned something about kidney cancer and you said the drug is for kidney cancer, correct? I thought I have only one cancer.” A patient in his early forties sounded brilliant, full of energy and so friendly over the phone. He thought he had a cold but was told it is a late-stage cancer with a very low survival rate. A woman in her twenties said, “I take my transplant medications every day. I almost lost my kidney functions. I don’t want to lose this kidney because my previous three transplants have already failed. “ The last clinical note read, “He was upset he needs a bone marrow transplant. He knows his chances are not high” I prepared my call, trying to be encouraging, and when I called, I was told he passed away. How do you dea
