Topic: Don't get carried away by Satan

Highlights:

Why spend your money on food that does not give you strength? Why pay for food that does you no good? Listen, and I will tell you where to get food that is good for the soul! Isaiah 55:2

Then the Devil came and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, change these stones into loaves of bread." Matthew 4:3

The devil is very cunning and creative in formulating stories that does not relate with divine reality. However if you got caught up with the devil, you might got carried away into life that deviates from God's fundamental plans. The devil will tell you start turning stones to bread, which might sound cool after you listen to the assumptions in your imagination, it will suddenly get you busy into idolatry.

God never asked us to start turning stones into bread when we are hungry, I short, as children of the Most High God we are asked to depend on God for Manna from heaven like he did for the Isrealites and Elijah and he also did it when feeding five thousands with five loaves and two fishes, whenever we are hungry and lacking: we are to depend of God for his provisions. The Bible says in

Isaiah 55:13 "Where once there were thorns, cypress trees will grow. Where briers grew, myrtles will sprout up. This miracle will bring great honor to the Lord's name; it will be an everlasting sign of his power and love."

These miracle signs shall follow them that believe in my name... In my name they shall perform miracles and cast out devils Mark 16:15

As children of God, we are asked to avoid being carried away by the devil. We must guard our thoughts of getting us confused and worried and not allow him to change the right way we think or getting involved in difficult things that is not in God's plan for us. When we are faced with challenges, we are to hand over to God and trust that God will take care of it. The devil make mess of people's life and laughs them to scorn once he gets them into figuring how to do things that God did not approved like turning stones into bread in God's name. However some people have thought in their mind that God has refused to answer their prayers because they hang into things that are not in line with God's way.

We must follow all instructions given by our Lord Jesus Christ to details in order to know the mind of God and pray in his plans for us all. Truly God's plan is great and must be traced in a straight way through Jesus. Trusting in God is the key, we cannot not get anything done by our own mere effort. Keep walking in the way of Jesus.

Don't let the devil complicate your life with task of turning stones to bread again.

The way of Jesus is very easy but it requires concentration because there are too many distractions. When you are alone with your choice, make sure you follow God's plan to detail and you will never regret it. Remember to always ask Holy Spirit for help.

Prayer: Holy Spirit please Help me to stay put in God's plans for my life and teach me the right process to win life's battle. Help me to remain faithful in the way of God in Jesus name. Amen.
