Today’s Devotional – July 9th

.

EXAMINE YOURSELVES!

.

.

.

.

.

“Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith;

prove your own selves.

Know ye not your own selves,

how that Jesus Christ is in you,

except ye be reprobates?”

2nd Corinthians 13:5.

.

.

.

.

.

There are many false doctrines blowing in the wind these days, in and out of the Christian community.

.

And one such false teaching is the popular idea that it is a denial of faith to ever question one’s own Salvation. But this is complete and utter avoidance of Bible truth!

.

As a matter of fact, even if you are the most highly respected leader in the Church, you are not exempt from the admonition to,

“Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith;

prove your own selves.

Know ye not your own selves,

how that Jesus Christ is in you,

except ye be reprobates?”

2nd Corinthians 13:5.

.

That’s right. It is the very leaders of God’s house who are the prime targets for satanic deceptions and even devilish delusions!

.

.

.

.

.

“THE HEART IS DECEITFUL”

.

The Bible warns us that… “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” Jeremiah 17:9. 

.

And so, it is a very healthy practice to take regular inventory of one’s spiritual health, since it is so easy to be deceived by the “deceitfulness of sin”. Hebrews 3:13.

Psalm 139:23, 24 

.

David was not one bit presumptuous about his salvation, Quite the contrary, he repeatedly prayed for God to protect him from falling into condemnation…

“Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins;

let them not have dominion over me:

then shall I be upright,

and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.”

Psalm 19:13

STILL THE DAY OF SALVATION!

.

But there is some very Good News! It is still the Day of Salvation! There is still time to turn to the Lord! 

.

“Cleanse your hands, ye sinners;

and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep:

let your laughter be turned to mourning,

and your joy to heaviness.

Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord,

and He shall lift you up.”

James 4:7-10.

.

The life of a Christian is the Spirit of repentance! Throughout a Christian’s life, there is an ongoing contriteness and sorrow for sin. It grieves the Christian to be un-Christ-like in any way! And the Christian is constantly pleading for grace to reflect the likeness of Christ to the world!

.

Such a work as this, the indwelling Holy Spirit makes a joyful work, even amidst times of tears!

THE WAVE CONSTELLATION LOCATION…

winter four constellations.

 FLOOD-WATERS OF SATAN CONSTELLATION

.

No matter where this constellation is in the night sky, this wave of water is always going towards the path of the Woman of Revelation 12 (Flees to the Wilderness).

.

This wave of water is made of the Auriga Constellation plus two fainter stars closer to the Dragon’s mouth. Let’s see what Scripture has to say about flood waters.  

.www.theheavensdeclare.net

“And the serpent cast out of his mouth WATER AS A FLOOD after the woman,

that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood…” 

Revelation 12:12. 

.

.

So, what do these flood waters represent?  Does the Bible have anything to say about Satan’s floodwaters?
