VANISH DEVIL !

Houston's Revivals
Text James 4:7-8
VANISH= web.to disappear; to pass away
If you have serve God anytime at all, you have longed for Rev.20:10 When the devil will be casted into the lake of fire and brimstone, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
Until then we must "fight the good fight of faith" 1 Tim 6:12. The mighty God we serve has left us some awesome weapons to fight the enemy with. In the previous blog, I spoke of the weapon of PRAISE.
Heb. 4:12 For the word of God is quick and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword... . The text of James 4:7 gives us a powerful and great promise. I hear so much "I can't make it, I don't know what I am going to do". In the temptation to go back to the world, to doubt God and his word. To give in to sin and leave the path called straight. The scripture says to "SUBMIT" yourself there to God. To many in the church want to strainghten out others, but we must work on ourselfs. For in the end we will stand before God for ourselves alone. SUBMIT means to be under obedience to God. It will never work trying to serve God half way and not be in full obedience to him and his laws. The promises will never be fulfilled without complete obedience. Then it says to RESIST to stand against; oppose; resist; withstand. There was a time when the church as a whole and as an individuals, we stood against the enemy anyway that we could. We must come back to that again, to see the mighty hand of God begin to work in our lifes again. The text says if we do these two things then something will happen! That the devil will flee. The word flee means in the gr. to vanish; to escape; flee (away). So according to the word, the devil is to be running from us and not us running from him. There are so many things out of order in the church, that God is fixing to set straight. He is coming back for a church on fire. Not lukewarm or cold, half in and half out, but on fire with the great Holy Ghost burning in our souls. You can overcome and cause the devil to flee from you and to vanish from you in that temptation. Two simple steps will bring VICTORY. It sound to good to be true, just to simple to work. We complicate things with our own understanding and reasoning. Remember it's the word of our faithful God. It's not a mere assurance from a man, but God himself. I believe VICTORY is coming to those reading this, as you do what God said, HE WILL DO THE REST. Study His word, pray and fast and watch the mighty hand of God begin to work and Him to begin to answer your prayers. He want to move for you and to bless you as like you have never seen before. He loves us more than we comprehend and will not fail you or I. Will you fail Him?
