The man at life's rock bottom

Praise God for the opportunity to speak life into a man that has apparently crashed against the shape jagged rock bottoms of life. He has nearly lost everything, including his will to live. A satanic attach has been called out in full force to destroy this man, as he has dangled at the finger tips of demonic influence. Yet as a blood bought Saint of God, life and hope is found in the Living Word of God when it says, "Greater is He who is in you, than he that is in the world." I reminded him that a follower of Jesus Christ must first have a true understanding of who God really is. See, Satan has destorted the mind of man about who God truly is. Satan's first attempt started back in the garden by telling Eve that God was holding out on her and that He really didn't have her best in mind. Nothing has changed today; Satan still tells man that God really doesn't care, and if He did then He wouldn't let so much bad stuff happen to us.

The real problem is that Satan is a liar and the truth is not in him, and you must be out of your mind stupid to listen to him. As far as the big picture is concerned, look at what Satan's fate is and then reason with perceptive insight of who really cares about you. Satan "has come to kill, steal and destroy you," but Jesus "has come to give you life and that more abundantly."

Life is enjoyed through the understanding that God is not a big bully in the ski with a baseball bat waiting to wack you with it. Though He is a righteous and holy God who must punish sin, but for the born-again believer, that punishment has been paid on the cross of Calvary by Jesus, on our behalf. So look to Jesus, not as an addition to your life (like a coin in your pocket to spend when needed) but rather as the very purpose for living life.

We closed our time together with a Spirit-filled prayer for God's protective care to surround him and that God's Spirit would break this yoke of bondage that Satan has tried to smuther him with.

Please pray for "the man at life's rock bottom."
