"Will You Dare Stand Up For Jesus"

                                                  

　

Am I, yes I am tough enough to take the sharp darts that Satan throws at me almost every day. Healing comes quickly when we tell God we need His spirit to kiss our wounds. He never fails to kiss the pain away.



Satan’s arrows are tossed by real live persons whom want to exalt their importance as they imagine it. Both Satan and the shooters are then elevated to a place where more darts can be thrown with much greater force. It would be wrong for me to say these followers of Satan know that they are his helpers. Like the scribes and Pharisees, they are trying to help Jesus out by telling him what Moses would have done when a woman was found in the act of adultery. “Stone her to death,” they informed Jesus. At least the scribes and Pharisees were not relying upon their own judgment. They did ask Jesus what He would do. Jesus didn’t throw a dart at them. He simply said, “he that is without sin, let him cast the first stone”. The accusers disappeared quickly.

The scribes and Pharisees kept only the part of the law that they liked. How true it is today when people justify their acts by their own desires and not by God’s word. It should be a shame for people to represent the church of God with worldly suggestions appearing from head to toe. Where is the reverence that was so divinely instructed by the early church? Where is the reverence and respect that I was taught as a child growing up a few years ago? Where is the respect we used to have for our own bodies, never a tattoo, or a relaxed dress code, that moved the mind away from the presence of God?

In keeping with the teaching of the Holy Bible, we are going to get pierced by the fiery darts of Satan. It will not make us popular in this world but, it will merit us a great reward in the world to come. Are we going to save our neck or serve our God?

God bless
