Build Your Relationship NOW With Jesus

SF, Stagecoach, NV
Dear Brothers & Sisters,

Acts 19:15-16 NASB
“And the evil spirit answered and said to them, “I recognize Jesus, and I know about Paul, but who are you? And the man, in whom was the evil spirit, leaped on them and subdued all of them and overpowered them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.”

     Evil spirits recognize the authority of Jesus and Paul, yet someone who doesn’t have a relationship with God the Father, Jesus His Only Begotten Son and the Holy Spirit which is given to all who have the Father and Son, has the authority from the Father over them.  So those who do not have the God-Head will not have any authority over any evil spirit.  Could that be  why you are having problems over your life?

1 John 2:18, 20, 23, 27 NASB
[18] Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared; from this we know that it is the last hour.”
(20) “But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you all know.”
[23] Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father; the one who confesses the Son has the Father also.”
[27] “As for you, the anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you abide in Him.”

     You have the written Word of God to guide you and instruct you in all aspects of life and relationshipsYou have the power of the Holy Spirit resident in your spirit to guide your steps and teach you all truth. This is how you learn to have a relationship with your Dad in Heaven.  It’s how you renew your mind and stop doing things the old ways, which never worked for you. It’s how you will mature and know the right thing to do and become more like Christ.  Your other option will be to keep being attacked like the man in Acts above.
     For this great salvation to become your greatest joy and possession, you must nurture it and protect the relationship between you and the Holy Spirit.  You must daily apply yourself to the discipline of conversing with Father God and listening and applying His wise counsel in the Bible.  Spiritual food is necessary to survive the onslaught of the enemy.
     Without a daily dose of supernatural food a Christian will become anemic and fruitless.  A barren tree is no good to anyone.  You cannot be effective without actively seeking the things of God.
Luke 13:25-27 NASB
[25] “Once the head of the house gets up and shuts the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock on the door, saying, ‘Lord, open up to us!’ then He will answer and say to you, ‘I do not know where you are from.’
[26] “Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets’;
[27] and He will say, ‘I tell you, I do not know where you are fromDEPART FROM ME, ALL YOU EVILDOERS.’

     The Holy Spirit speaks often through His Word – as you read it.  So read it daily so He can reveal what you need to know.  Seek first His kingdom and the rest shall follow [Matthew 6:33].

Blessings to all of you,
Sandy F - The Lord's Servant
