Take Your Stand against the Devils Schemes

Take Your Stand against the Devils schemes

Luke 14:16 - 24 (KJV) 16Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many: 17And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready. 18And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused. 19And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused. 20And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come. 21So that servant came, and showed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant,

Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind. 22And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room. 23And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.

24For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.


Ephesians 6:10 - 13 (NIV) 10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.

As God’s children we are to be doers of the Word and not hearer’s only.
As you would read through the above scriptures an awareness comes that there is opposition to the work of the Lord and also that the Lord has a work to be done in the earth. This work is more important than any other work. The Father has requested it to be done.

What I see as the “day ”approaches is that Satan is getting more bold and blatant about who he is and what he does. There is such opposition against the Lord and His Christ today but the Lord has already declared that the gates of hell won’t prevail against His church.

My question is this today as you read through this blog-spot: Are you going into the highways and hedges and compelling them to come in? The Father is waiting. Pray the Lord of the harvest that He would send laborers into His harvest. NOW!

Let me relate to you what went on right in the middle of the small town that I live in yesterday (8-26-10). The was a woman and a man out on the street in front of the New Age shop, which is known for its dark spirit seeking by the owner and those whom she recruits. The woman was dressed as a witch and the man was professing to be a warlock. Blatant activity trying to get people to attend a séance that they were going to do. Dressed like who they are and who they represent not ashamed of what they were doing. This is the work of the true enemy of man’s soul at work. Right out there in the highways and hedges in front of everyone for all to see.

What is the church doing to fulfill the Word of God and do the will of God? The enemy is taking it to the streets can we do any less?
