Greetings,

I want to share here two encouraging recent messages!

To God be the Glory!

* Today I received this email:

I praise the Lord for His blessings to Christian outreach through messages encouraging Christians to join THE POCKET TESTAMENT LEAGUE ministries by signing in to receive their FREE Gospels of John –that include a correspondence Bible Study too.

This is the email I received today from the Pocket Testament League on one of the dedicated Christians that joined them:

I plan to give these gospels to many people as I run a larger prayer ministry and I teach Bible in a seminary and do a lot of witnessing. Thank you for this opportunity to share the love of God.

I want to share with you also this message at received at another board I am a member, it’s from Michael M. on examples to remind us that it is every Christian’s purpose to destroy the works of the devil by SHARING THE GOSPEL –through the Pocket Testament League is an easy way, visit link at: https://www.pocketpower.org/code/signup.php?promo=bannerclick&sponsorcd=199335 - the same is true of us every time we encourage someone, give to the poor, pray for the sick, help someone overcome a sin or even find forgiveness for an offense we are destroying the works of the devil…

* Destroy the Works of the Devil

1 John 3:8 says “…the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.”

Jesus was to be our example and this reminds us that it is also our purpose to destroy the works of the devil.

This reminds me of when the British were at war against the American militias during the revolution. Truthfully the Americans had a great disadvantage. Our militias were unorganized, unpaid, without solid leadership, they had to finance their own weapons and ammunition, and quite often ran from battle. On the contrary Brittan was the World power and strongest, best trained army in the world at that time. America should have been defeated, but instead we won because of two simple reasons.

1. We were hard headed and would not surrender.
2. We learned that we might not be able to defeat the British in hand to hand combat, but we could tear down their administration.

Every time the British advanced and set up a government in a city or town, our militias would move in after the British armies left and would destroy the administration that the British had established. This caused the British to have to break their armies down in smaller battalions to attempt to keep their established order thereby making them more vulnerable to American attacks. That is how America won the war for Independence.

The same is true of us as we follow the path of Jesus and “destroy the works of the devil.” Every time we encourage someone, give to the poor, pray for the sick, share the Gospel, help someone overcome a sin or even find forgiveness for an offense we are destroying the works of the devil.

Let’s go out and tear downs some demonic strongholds in Jesus’ name!

Michael M.

May all that you do prosper (Psalm chapter 1)
