    Entrust

    Saturday, November 19, 2011, 7:49 PM [General]

         Living in this world is a danger zone, I call it a race, because you'll never know what's going happened until it happens. Thus, hidden traps unseen from human eyes.; but Instead, invisible dangers set before us for spiritual disaster by-- Satan himself. Fortunately, a path is mapped out for our spiritual advantage. Thus, we only need--faith to defeat it. A path not leading to death but entrusted for eternal life that, refutes the unseen.

         According to Isaiah 49: 9: For I will say to the prisoners:  come out in freedom,' and to those in darkness, 'come into the light. ' They will be my sheep grazing in green pastures on hills that were previously bare,'" says the Lord.

         Doesn't this bring comfort in knowing that a predestine path is mapped out for us, which leads us safely onto peaceful situations. What a beautiful offer to those who are under the influence of Satan to come into the hands of the Lord, and find shelter from bareness into green pastures. Whence only safety is given from the Lord.

         As believers and unbelievers, the race set before us, is for the prize of the high calling in Christ Jesus, and against unknown devices of the devil ( Hebrews 12: 1). You can't imagine nor I, the deceptive traps set before us in this race; a hindrance by Satan. However, we who are in Jesus are not ignorant of his devices ( 2 Corinthians 2: 11). But If we walk by the spirit, we'll not be carried out by the desires of the flesh, for the flesh desires what's against the spirit, and the spirit desires what's against flesh; these opposed each other, so that you don't do what you want, but be led by the spirit; because, you are not under the law-- ( Gal 5: 16-18). As believers of Christ, we must entrust our eyes toward God to warn unbelievers, who are unaware of hidden dangers in this race, because we walk by faith and not by sight ( 2 Corinthians  5: 11). As a result, the Lord sends his-- ministering angels sent out to those who are going to inherit salvation-- ( Hebrews 1: 14). In this race, there are things we need to work on that's tempting, which is, a process how to learn what our reactions are in a difficult situation. We as believers must be alert with all perseverance through prayer and boldness the mysteries of the gospel that the Lord has set before us (Ephesians 6: 18-20).

    How do we defeat unknown traps?

         In God's word-- the Holy Bible, a particular scripture expounds that if we have faith the size of a mustard seed ( little bit) that mountain will be remove from here to there, it literally obeys. This is not a real mountain, but is, i.e.,  perplexities ,obstacles, and deceptive traps of doubts ahead of us in this race, we must annihilate all of them during this race, or else fear will destroy us, etc., ( Matthew 21: 21-22)).  

    More gospel truth to defeat these traps you must know.

         Although Jesus Christ our savior was crucified on that curse cross, his body was put inside a crypt permanently; so men thought. However, while Jesus body lay, his spirit went to Hades called-- ( place of the dead) to proclaim to the disobedient sprits in Noah time that were condemned, the veil was torn by the blood of Jesus on the cross-- so that we could have this open door for eternal life-- ( 1 Peter 3: 18-20). Through an open door, which no grave could hold our Lord down. So that we can entrust ourselves to Jesus; not intricacies {ins and outs} of Satan deceptiveness. Instead, no devices will interfere  -- None who entrust  ourselves to Jesus. Therefore, we may come boldly to the throne of grace is our only help in times of difficulties and praise ( Hebrews 4: 16). No matter what we think God's grace is interminable {unending}.

          Run this race in the world and entrust your souls to the Lord. He will protect you against the wiles of Satan's deceptive devices. But even if you suffer for righteousness, you are blessed. Do not fear what they fear or be disturbed, but honor the Lord in your hearts. Always be ready to give an answer to those who ask for a reason for the hope that's in you ( 1 Peter 3: 14,15). So, those who suffer for doing what is good, you can "Entrust" yourselves to a faithful creator.

    You are from God, little children, and you have conquered them, because the One who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. We are from God. Anyone who knows God listens to us; anyone who is not from God does not listen to us is not from God. From this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of deception ( 1 John 4: 4, 6).

    My tongue is like ink to paper:  To Inspire Be Inspired. [all scriptures found in the Holy Bible]. I love you Mom and Dad. My journey continues, Maggie :)
