NAILED IT!

PRAISE THE LORD!


Yes it's long I don't know how many pages, mini manual for today.

I pray it blesses somebody somewhere.

Amen


Thank God for His Word, it is His mercy towards us.

Luke 6:7
And the scribes and Pharisees watched Him, whether He would heal on the sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against Him.

We on my little ole blog page have been looking at the purpose of an accusation, persecution, the pressure of circumstances and things brought on by the enemy to get us to give up and quit.

To get us to turn our attention from prayer to complaining.


To get us to focus on our own troubles and not the real matter of reconciling folks back to God.
Because if we really think about it, we are saved and have Jesus Christ and Holy Spirit we already have everything that it takes to be victorious.
But those who don't have this great salvation are the ones with the real trouble.

Thank God that Jesus didn't lose His focus and His purpose, because if He did, where would we be?



We saw how accusation is used to bring contention, cause division, strife and every evil work.
To me the evil work is when the gospel is not preached in it's entirety.
Anything that comes against it or comes to slow it or stop it, that is evil.

The Lord taught in Mark 4 what this was about and then He demonstrated through His own reaction how to handle it over and over again.
Jesus showed us how in this world we would have trouble and why we would have it, but to be happy because He had overcome all trouble.


The Father wants us to know that we operate in the same power that rested upon our Saviour.
We looked at and learned who the real accuser is, the real trouble maker.
Revelation 12:10
Prophecy given by John The Baptist in a dream:

And I heard a loud voice saying in Heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the Kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.


Remember, day and night the enemy is looking for some way to temp us all so that he can have something to accuse us of before the Father.


Job 1:6,7

6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them,

7 And the LORD said unto Satan, Where are you coming from? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and walking up and down in it.


(Looking for someone to bring an accusation against and looking for someone to use to actually bring the accusation to other people)


So we know that the LORD asked Satan , Have you heard of my servant Job?
And the enemy responded to the LORD with an accusation against Job right then and there.


9 Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?


Before the enemy ever approached Job with the storms, death and destruction that would take place in his natural life, he had already been before God making the accusation that Job would give up.


Oh Jesus!

And God is not allowing tragedy to come at us to make us stronger.Job was already solid on God's strength that's why he was chosen and that's why he overcame.

Has anybody ever had that happen in the natural where someone has predicted what you will do, like the devil tried to do with Job?

The enemy's nerve is laughable.

The devil said, "Job ain't gonna follow you when it gets tough, let me be the one to prove his lack of loyalty to you.

Accusation, Accusation, Accusation.

The enemy didn't know Job, that's why God had to ask him, Do you know Job?

Please shut up if you don't know who you are talking about.

Because God knew Job because Job was an upright man who didn't fool with evil.

Have you ever had anyone come to you trying to tell you something evil about someone who you do know?

Ain't that something, the enemy has mastered this.

If we know God like God knew Job we won't be tricked into thinking that tragedy comes from God.

Amen

And I want you to know that if you live right before God He knows your name too and He knows what you will do for Him.
Your friends, family, co-workers, strangers and associates might not know, but God does.

Have you got folks saying the same thing about you that Job's friends said about Him?

You've shared some problem that you have or an attack that you are fending off and instead of praying for you and showing you that you can overcome it, they telling somebody else, "I told you he must have done something or this wouldn't be happening."



I remember a particular episode of being falsely accused once. Somebody who didn't even know what in the world they were talking about (not even the accuser someone else) had spread the rumor that this was the "Big One" that I had did it and I was probably going to be fired.

You should have saw how people withdrew from me based on this lie.



Have you ever walked into a hostile accusatory environment and thought "I know that I have at least one homie in here who knows the truth" and then looked at that homie and they didn't even acknowledge you?

They didn't even want to be associated with trying to believe that you were completely innocent.

because in their minds all they could think was " Well why is this happening then?"

Why is she being accused if there isn't any truth to it?



Because people lie.

Like their father.

The enemy is jumping up an down looking for a way to get us to give up on God and walk away from the righteousness and it's way of living because that is what puts us in the line of fire.

Oh Yeah!

And one thing you don't need are friends who think that God is punishing you to teach you a lesson.



God doesn't punish people with tragedy for their sins.

Tragedy came into the world through man's sin not because God needed a way to punish man for choosing sin.

God doesn't want men punished He wants men saved, that's why He sent His Son.

(John 3:15-21)



John 10:9-11 Jesus speaking says:

9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.



Well that doesn't look like a God bent on punishment and famine and lack and sickness and disease.

That looks like a God of mercy and grace and long suffering and patience.

And then we have a thief.



Is this what your friends are sharing with you?

That's not what Job's friends did, remember the enemy can't sow those seeds of doubt unless he has a vessel with lips to speak and plant them and some to help tend it.



Well in my case I was restored just like Job because the persons accusation was shot full of holes and the people who grimmed me in my time of need, those who looked at me like

" Where is that Bible at now?" I still continue to love on.



I hadn't done anything but decided to trust and obey God regardless based on His Word.

Well Job didn't have John 10:10, Acts 10:38, James 1:17, 1Peter 2:24, 1John 1:9

So for a minute he may have wavered and believed that it was God causing his issues.

But he had Exodus 15:26.



Let's look on this Friday at the accusation to beat all accusations.

Luke 23:1-5

1 And the whole multitude( Pharisees, chief priests, religious folk) of them arose, and led Him( Jesus Christ) unto Pilate.

2 And they began to accuse Him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that He himself is Christ a King.

3 And Pilate asked Him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And He answered him and said, Thou sayest it.

4 Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I find no fault in this man.

5 And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place.



They got mad because they had a job to do, someone was working in them.



Well we all know that Jesus could have called down legions upon legions of angels and shut it all down, but He was wounded for our transgressions.

Who, when He was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed Himself to Him that judges righteously.



He didn't go there with them folks, He opened not His mouth against the accusation but he let God be the ultimate judge.

It's difficult to do this when you know that you are at fault, but when you are not at fault it takes the supernatural grace and anointing of God to do it.



And because Jesus did this, every accusation brought against us who have received Christ Jesus as LORD is void of power.

Every accusation is void of power.

Sickness is void of power for those who know and believe this.

Lack is void of power for those who know and believe this.

Fear is void of power for those who know and believe this.



The Saviour nailed it to the cross!



Colossians 2:13-15

13... And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath He quickened together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses;

14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances( all accusation of guilt) that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to His cross;

15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, He made a shew (parade) of them openly, triumphing over them in it.



Don't ever entertain an accusation again, it's been handled.



JESUS NAILED IT!

HALLELUJAH!

Take out your Bibles and look these scriptures up and study all of Colossians chapter 2, just soak in it like a nice Calgon Jacuzzi bath.



LOVE Y'ALL

Pray
