I'm not promoting eating unclean meat, but I have to show you this great video to make a spiritual point:-)
Enjoy the video and read on!
The enemy of our souls has unique, tailor made temptations for all of us. He knows our weak points and like a roaring lion waits to pounce at just the right moment, to try to make us give in to sin. 1 Peter 5:8 says, "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:" He may make you think just this once won't hurt, or it's not so bad if all of these other people are doing it. He tries to entice us by making sin appeal to our senses, but then it steals our joy. He tries to sell the lie that sin's "pleasures" cover up pain, when sin actually causes the deepest pain.
On the cross, Jesus cried, "My God, My God, WHY have you forsaken ME?" Have you ever felt that way like, God, why are you allowing this in my life? He was experiencing the seperation from His Father, and it was weighing upon Him , and He had done nothing wrong! He did it because YOU were on His mind, and the guilt of YOUR sin and MY sin was on His shoulders. YOU mean the world to Jesus and He wants to be with YOU forever! I Corinthians 10:13 says, "There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God [is] faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear [it]." Jesus sees the temptation coming, He knows what it feels like, and warns us through the Holy Spirit! If our spiritual ears are open, we will hear the warning! If you have a child, and you see danger approaching, you will warn your child before they get hurt! If they choose not to listen and get hurt, it hasn't diminshed your love for them, but instead makes you want to hold them even closer. That's how God sees YOU...
So, if you've messed your life up, as we all have, just ask Jesus to pick up the pieces and heal you, and He has promised to do just that! Psalm 147:3 says, "He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds." We are all battle scarred by sin, but Jesus came through the stars, took the sin that was ours, forever bears the scars, so He can heal ours... Hebrews 4:14-16 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast [our] profession. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as [we are, yet] without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
Don't fall for satan's temptations, only to end up crying, like the dog in ultimate dog tease! Let Jesus heal you!
I will be blogging about hell fire not being eternal, soon!. Thanks for your patience!
God bless your day!
Remember, God created you for good, and you are His child, a special, unique work of art from his own heart. He wants to have a friendship with YOU...
God B in U & through U, Joy J
