James 1:13-15

(13) Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. (14) But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. (15) Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.

Exodus 20:17

(17) "You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's."

New King James Version   Change Bible versions

Every problem, individual or national, has its root embedded in sin. But what causes sin? Wrong desires brought to fruition, and everyone—from peasant to king—is subject to wrong desires. From the beginning of time, sinners have blamed their sins on others. Satan blamed God, Eve blamed Satan, and Adam blamed Eve. James sternly rebukes this.

God does not cause sin, nor do things. Sin would be helpless if it did not appeal to something in man. Sin appeals to man's human nature through his desires. If a man desires long enough, the consequence is virtually inevitable. Desire becomes action.

Desire can be nourished, stifled or—by the grace of God—eliminated altogether. If we humbly, thoughtfully, and wholly give of ourselves to Christ and involve ourselves in good activities and thoughts, we will have precious little time or place for evil desires. The tenth commandment pierces through surface Christianity, really showing whether we have surrendered our will to God.

The spiritual requirements for keeping it are in some ways more rigid than any other because it pierces directly into our thoughts. II Corinthians 10:4-5 sets a very high standard for us to shoot for:

These verses, revealing God's authority over even our thoughts, also sets what may be our ultimate goal in this life. The tenth commandment shows the depth of God's concern about the state of our inner character as well as our apparent character. If our thoughts are right, our actions will be too. Changing our thinking strikes right at the heart of character, emphasizing why spending time with God, in studying His Word and in prayer, is so important.

For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.

— John W. Ritenbaugh-The Berean Church of the Great God

We bring trials on ourselves a lot of times we can't always blame the devil because sin comes from us giving into our desires of the flesh that don't line up with God's Word and and makes us out of alignment and out of synch with God and therefore can lead us into disobedience because God may be telling us to do something and we miss it because we are so focused on our own agendas instead of listening to him for instruction. God will allow trials from our chooses we made to be an result as to bring us back to reality to what God's purpose for us was all along and when we can change the course of our thoughts we can follow the Holy Spirit in us that will lead us to the truth to discover ourselves and put us on the right path to obey God. In the mist of our disobedience God is so loving that we didn't die in that moment we sinned he but gives us grace and mercy as to allow us to feel the pain meaning we are still alive and thus have another chance to get it right. God is so merciful and loving he doesn't always allow the outcomes we deserved to find us

When someone is dead there are no more chances. So if it means I just need to change my thoughts to save my life well I will continually ask myself how am I thinking and do daily self checks to make sure I'm in line with The Word of God.

Read Philippians 4:8 KJV

We are a royal priesthood, which means we have direct access and fellowship with God like a priest but are also called to expand the Kingdom of God and influence the world like a king.

Because I have suffered a little with Christ  through trails I too can be a witness that Jesus is my Saviour Because I've seen the power of God revealed in me through me for me towards me and has kept me to show me that he loves me and I'm not alone meaning all one so as apart of my identity in Christ is that I'm a overcomer and a witness so now I can speak of my testimony become of the blood of the lamb which came from the sacrifice Jesus made for us on calvary when he died. I now have access through Jesus to God whom can look at no sin because the wages of sin is death so as to spare us Jesus took my past,  present and future sins onto him and died with them and rose again so that now his Holy Spirit can be on the inside of me and now when God sees me he sees Jesus Holy Spirit in me and not my sins so that's how im a new creature in Jesus Christ. That's how I'm new and I have been born again, that's who I am now not who I was before the power of being redeemed. God washing Way or sins in the sea  of forgiveness manning he no long lay charge to me for those sins. But I can remember my past sins so I know not what to do and so I can help cultivate the futures of others by telling and confessing of God's power to save them too and in turn because I can't pay him back for my life I can win many souls to Christ at the least I can do as someone whom needed saved. I can now share in the redemption process by leading by example but really through no power of my own but through the Holy Spirit to allow myself to be used as a vessel that will house the Holy Spirit so he can lead me to the truth so I can share the truth. Who the son sets free is free indeed but if you are now free go help someone that is bound get free.

Walls give you Identity the walls we need is the Word of God for Jesus is Rock of our salvation where we can build on. In the presence of God where the righteous run in and are safe. God hides us in his secert place in his Bossom in his love in our obedience to him.

1Pe 2:1-11 KJV 1 Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, 2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: 3 If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious. 4 To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, 5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. 6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. 7 Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, 8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. 9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. 11 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

Rom 12:3 KJV For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

Eph 4:1-32 KJV 1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called

What defines you as a person? Does what folks standards set in society dictate who you are? Does social media, your parents, your past experiences, your current events, your accomplishments, your dreams, goals, and aspirations define you? All of those things can influence your decisions, choices,  and outcomes if we allow them to. We ought not to put all our eggs in one basket of life and the things of this world. We need to pursue our creator because he created us after his image and likeness therefore as we discover more of who God is through his only begotten son Jesus we will soon find our true selves. We go through life as babies learning ourselves through Discovery of the world around us. We go from discovering that we have hands and feet to growing pains of adolescence to Teenagers and young adults to older adults to elderly if we are blessed to live a long life. We should through all our stages of life walk with God as much as we humanly can and the Holy Spirit will help you through lives journeys, twists and turns. With all of that being said I'm still learning myself daily. Everyday I strive to know myself better and everyday there is an area where I miss the mark but I will keep on pressing. What I know to be true is that

My Identity is in Christ Jesus!!!!

Roman's 8:17 (Heir) says:  And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

Joh 8:36 KJV (Free) If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

Joh 15:15 KJV (Friend) Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

2Co 1:21-22 KJV (Sealed) 21 Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God; 22 Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts. (The Holy Spirit is a pledge in our hearts that we are sealed by God)

Deu 14:2 KJV (Choosen) For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God, and the LORD hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all the nations that are upon the earth.

Eph 5:1 KJV (Beloved) Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;

Rom 5:1 KJV(Justified) Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

Psa 103:11-12 KJV( Forgiven) 11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. 12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

2Co 5:21 KJV(Righteous)For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

Rom 3:24 KJV( Redeemed)Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

Gal 3:26 KJV(Child of God) For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

2Co 5:17 KJV( New Creation) Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

Phi 3:20 KJV ( Citizen of Heaven) For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:

When I worship him and learn of him I start to find me. I will find the answers to my issues and challenges and will find my purpose I will find my area of strength my areas of focus for which God has given me the power and faith to break the yoke of bondage. God has given us all a lane and faith to walk worthy of the vocation he has called us too. I must give God praise even in my trials because except a seed goes into the ground to die it can't bare fruit. I have to know that there are things within my flesh that create friction with the parts of my Spirit and that don't honor God. When I do this I'm discovering more and more of my true self my true identity.

John 15 read!!!

God wants us to bare much fruit full writing on blog

Do you just get thankful when you have possessions, or money. Are you thankful for your health and well-being? Are you thankful for your job for your friends and your family. How do you give your thanks? Thanks be unto God who is the head of my life what about you? Ask yourself that question daily it will change the posture of your heart. We ought to be grateful for everything of course but what causes you to really be thankful when everything is going good what about in bad times are you still trying to find the good in the bad? Or are we just completing?

This holiday season is not just about being full from food or just about being with family and watching sports. It's about giving God thanks for who he is and what he has done and kept us from. I imagine that there will be folks cheering and crying tears of joy for having seen loved ones for a year or so. I can also imagine that this will be for others the first of many holidays without their loved ones whom may have passed on. This season can bring joy and even sadness. In whatever it brings we must know that Jesus is our rock, the every rock of salvation that we can hand our everything on. Which is why we ought to do what Psalm 100:4 tells us

4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.

So no matter what you are facing if we but put our faith and trust in Jesus we will come out of our trials and tribulations for his Word says in 1 Corinthians 15:57

57 But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. So the way to victory is through Christ Jesus! How do you get through Christ you ask him to come on your life and be your God, your saviour, and ask for forgiveness of your sins, believe in your heart that he died and rose for you and allow Holy Spirit to continue to guide you to the truth in the Word of God!

Even when we are celebrating and having a great time we should be giving the first fruits of our day to our heavenly Father as

1 Timothy 2:1sats

1 I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— while you cut I to your holiday meals think and really take some time reflect how you can sit there and enjoy this meal but how far God has brought you and really give him the praise do his name. Thank you Father in the mighty name of Jesus for who you are and all you have done for me and my family and friends. The next think we need to keep in mind is that God wants something from us. He wants our relationship that consists of our faith and obedience to him. He wants us to do what

2 Corinthians 2:14 says

14 But thanks be to God, who always leads us as captives in Christ’s triumphal procession and uses us to spread the aroma of the knowledge of him everywhere.

The while key to us dating we love God is to tell folks about him. You might not be about to shout it from the roof tops but you can tell someone that God loves them and tell them how you know and why he loves us. He created us after his image and likeness so that we could do somethings like him we can never reply God for what he has kept us from. The best we can ever come close to doing anything for God is to live our lives outloud in the beauty of his Holiness with a grateful heart and a willing spirit to obey his Word. I pray you all are safe and having joy in your hearts and peace in your relationships but most importantly I pray thank in all you do you don't forget to thank God first!!!

I heard the song want he make you clean inside and I wasn't sure if there was a exact scripture that said that and I came across a couple of Jesus talking to the Pharisees recorded in Matthew and Luke so let's peek on in on the scriptures to see what Jesus had to say to the Pharisees and us too shall we?

Matthew 23:26

New Living Translation

You blind Pharisee! First wash the inside of the cup and the dish, and then the outside will become clean, too.

King James Bible

Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.

Luke 11:39

New Living Translation

Then the Lord said to him, “You Pharisees are so careful to clean the outside of the cup and the dish, but inside you are filthy—full of greed and wickedness!

King James Bible

And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness.

Read Matthew 4:1-4

Matthew 4:4 read

Man shall not live by bread alone but by every Word that proceeds out the Mouth of God

We shall eat meat of the Word and no longer milk but know that Satan will try to temp you and make things hard because of what psalm 51 says.

Psalm 51(we are born into this sin nature born into iniquity right from our mothers womb that's why you can see videos of little kids lying already and didn't even have to be taught. We  laugh because we think it's cute and to be honest I think it's more of something that really catches us off guard and we laugh to cope. Because really is it funny for a kid to have icing on their mouth and say no to you asking if they ate the cake that's learned behaviors and as parents or as just a family member we must set the precedent that that is not acceptable. That's why we ask God to

Create in me a clean heart O Lord and renew a right spirit within us we must know we were born into sin because we were born into this world but it doesn't mean we cant counter act the sin nature with the Word of God and making sure we monitor what and who we allow access to us and to Penetrate our spirits. We ought to know we are what we consume and what we eat the most will grown the most and show on outside of us which is why we need to be concerned more on the inward man and what is going to be coming out of our hearts we don't want the this of Mark 7:20-23 coming out of our hearts

Mark 7:20-23 KJV

For he had said that it is what comes out of the man that defiles the man. For from within, out of the heart of men, come forth the evil thoughts, the adulteries, the fornications, the murders, the thefts, the covetousness (excessive greed), the wickedness, the deceit, the lasciviousness(driven by lust; preoccupied with or exhibiting lustful desires.), the evil eye, the slander, the pride, the unwiseness: all these evil things come out from within and defile the man.

The Pharisees were so worried about their image

Read 2 Timothy 3

2 Timothy 3:5 says they were having the form of Godliness but denying the power thereof from such we are to turn away. So much so the missed our saviour and crucifixed him. Even poor Nicodemus, a Pharisee  wanted to follow Jesus and did so secretly but being in his position as a high priest caused him to fear loosing what he valued; his image, position, and power more. Which is why when Jesus told the disciples to follow him they had to too give up and sacrifice who they were to become who they were meant to be. Which is why we have to follow the scripture that says forgetting those things which are behind press towards the mark of the high calling in Christ Jesus. It's a press to forget what you once knew when it was the only thing and the only way you knew. Which is why we must died daily to our flesh and what we think of ourselves and what folks think of us and focus on what comes out of us so we can represent God like Jesus did in the Spirit of truth without being defiled and vile and cruel and sinful

God never intended for us to have a spirit of lack. I know this because he created everything that we could ever need when he created all existence. God made it so we would have to be creative and make things from what was available to us.. The problem is that when sin entered the World by of deception and by way of the knowledge of good and evil. Evil grew by leaps and bounds due to the influence of the very sin nature God didn't intend for us to know about or even perceive existed. I believe two things:  that God already knew that Satan would try to deceive Adam and Eve and therefore had Jesus already set to come. I also can believe that Jesus was the plan the whole time because God knew that at some point humanity as he intended it could fall privy to our own devices. Paul said that he does what he doesn't want to do and doesn't do what he wants to do but it is no longer him that does what he doesn't want to do or doesn't do what he wants to do but it's a law within his members (flesh) warring itself against God so when Paul said when he wills to do good eviI is always present. It's been said many times that Satan desires to sift us like wheat or even in it's refined state he doesn't care if you have been seasoned in life spiritually or  what seems to be at the finished stage of your immaturity crossing over to maturity flour still has lumps if moisture enters in. Flour is a finished or mature state of wheat.. Satan's sifting is to take out the whole pieces of you like your faith, makes you whole, your peace, your love, the Word of God and your very relationship with Our heavenly Father he will do anything to sift all that out until there is nothing left. It ought not to be so. A lot of times lack exist as a distraction from what God has for us because although neither God or Satan needs your stuff it's easy areas of attack because most folks put their faith in only what they see. That ought not to be so as the Word of God in the just shall live by faith. So that means even if I'm in lack my faith shall be intact and trust that God will see me through.  I should trust that we have a High Priest that can be touched by the feeling of our infirmities and know the very way we should take. Which is way rejoice and agin I rejoice when you go through divers trails especially lack because

Psalm 126:6

King James Version

6 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him. (A sheaf of wheat was currency) so these is plural abundance

Meaning if we suffer a little with Chirst we shall reign with him. It will as if the floodgates of heaven opened up. Malachi 3:8-12 get that even in lack we should sow not just money but our time and talent as well first so we are obedient to God's commands and not being curse with a curse we shall experience the windows of heaven opening up and pouring a blessing we shall have no room to receive because

God's blessings shall overtake you

Meaning our blessing, Favor, grace and mercy on our shall be so great God will have to enlarge our territories for us house them. Not only will he bless us he will not continue to allow Satan to sift us because in Malachi it also says he will rebuke the devourer for our sakes and what we have won't lack. We do know even in blessings every relationship goes higher therefore be sure that Satan will still try his hand and we should

The blessings of the Lord maketh rich and addedth no sorrow with it

You will have dry places but suddenly in God will fill you to  your capacity so dont be jealous or worry about folks that is jealous of you because we all have a capacity to handle what we can handle and my capacity to go through things and faith and to be blessed is not the same as yours. Work out your own soul salvation!!!! But just know you will go from weeping to a harvest full of sheaves!

Genesis 7:16

And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.

When the Lord shut you in somewhere In life you can't move until he releases you and it's for your own good because you don't know what lurks out there from that spot that could befail you therefore don't try to go before God's timing into something God didn't release you too. So it's obedience and sacrifice to God and sacrifice to his self image and what he thought about himself and what others may have thought about him that saved his whole family. Had Noah not obeyed he and his family although he had found favor with God would have been destroyed with the all the other things and all other life on the earth. Yet he obeyed and God protected him and there was life on earth after the rain became he strategically followed the Lord's instructions and the Lord shut them in. In the right time the Lord also released them and first thing God did was make a covenant and after the covenant was made later on in the scriptures first thing Noah does was make a alter of sacrifice to the Lord.

In the Bible's Genesis flood narrative, after creating a flood to wash away humanity's corruption, God put the rainbow in the sky as the sign of his promise that he would never again destroy the earth with flood (Genesis 9:13–17):

Gen 9:7-17 KJV

The Lord never promised us that there still wouldn't be rain. Rain like trials in our makes things grow including us. But even God himself didn't want to destroy the whole earth again by flooding it to remove all life but he repented or had regrets putting man kind in earth because of all the evilness and corruption. But after some time God remembered Noah and his family after being shut up in a situation by the Lord to save you and Even though Noah and his family were saved it still took 40 days and nights for the rain to fall for the floodgates of heaven to open up but the waters were on the earth for 150days and just imagine with me if you will sometimes darkness with stinky animals and potentially dangerous animals that God protected him and his family from. The real reason we should celebrate the rainbow is because it's God's covenant his promise to us and reminder to him of his Word that the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh. Not for any other reason is the rainbow for. It's making a mockery in my opinion to use it for any other way. Some folks use it to cope with losing a child which I can see as a symbolic meaning there joy have the rain and there is life after pain.. Others use it to represent freedom in expressing their choice of sexual orientation but that's not what is or was ever intended to be used for. Hosea 4:6 says My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

another version says

Isaiah 5:13

Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst.

and you may ask why I tend to give two versions or confirm the Word of God in two places because 2 Timothy 2:15 says paraphrasing we need to be able to rightly divide the Word of truth and furthermore where it is two witnesses or two or more gathered together in his name he is in the mist so at least two scriptures coming together to confirm God's Word is enough to prove God not that we need to but we can. In regards to the scriptures saying even our children...We ought not to put ourselves in situations that can potentially affect our generations especially due to our own canal (flesh) desires especially when God puts his signs right in front of us to show us his love for us even when we don't deserve it but we still choose our own way.

To whom much is given much is required. That means along our journey in life somewhere God blessed you to be a blessing to others but in his name. Our lives are not our own but our lives belong to God not man. We are our brothers keeper and are supposed to uplift one another however not at the expense of my relationship with God. You can't expect me to compromise my walk with God to suit or please you. Not sure how any of us have time for that anyway because we are responsible for our OWN soul salvation. Our soul needs saving living in this world and by any means necessary following God's Word, his Will, his way, and through his power (the annointing of Holy Spirit) I will walk this walk and talk the talk. This is what helps me in ever area of my life and I can't let it go.. The problem that I've experienced and that I've seen others do that we can longer allow is dumbing ourselves down when it comes to preaching the word of God or doing anything for God and comprising what we belive in to please others.. because I have nothing in my flesh left to offer you that I'm not already trying to die to daily to become a better person. I feel a lot times you don't want to hear what folks have to say anyway folks want to come to people and vent and dump mess without the responsible of what God has to say about it. Without taking accountability for their lives. Someone at some point needs to pray and have some positivity going on in the conversation. The problem is people have stopped wanting to hear sound advice but I'm not going to be a spiritual trash can either at this point  I don't want my response to be nasty or negative so let me respond in the best way I know how and that's with scripture. Let me respond in a manner that will warrant us keeping our relationship/ friendship. You cant expect the people you love or the people you call your friends to always tell you what you want to hear we need to be able to accept constructive criticism. We should be teachable and able to hear the bitter words of a friend than the sweet words of an enemy. If there is something that needs to be said but you don't believe God is telling you to say it but you feel that what you said is justified you need to stop the conversation. If you believe that you don't have anything to offer a person in this conversation you need to know when to say hey I don't know the answer and for the sake of protecting my peace although I love you I don't have the capacity to handle this right now so let's pray or say let me pray about this and you pray and let's reconnect later. You don't have to be a spiritual trash can to be someone's friend and that goes for family too. You can't always expect folks to take on your problems but you don't want to really hear a sound solution you just want to hear yourself talk you just want to pull from someone else's annointing knowing you will leave the conversation feeling refreshed and because this person cares they leave feeling all heavy no the devil is a lie. No Ma'am no sir no more. If I know you are someone that has a habit of telling me Something and you want my opinion but you want to tailor my response to what you want to hear I'm not the person for you to talk to because I'm going to find some scripture some inspiration so motivatation some testimony somewhere to help you but I'm not going to not tell you the truth especially if God does lay something on my heart to tell you. The thing is I expect the same back if I'm having a moment because who doesn't don't give me no watered-down response especially if you know me. Tell me what I need to hear not want I want to hear or what you think I want to hear. If you close to me check me because I'm only human I'm not perfect I have down and weak moments too. No one and I mean no one is exempt from life's problems but God said he would make a way of escape from them all. I believe we can be sent or folks can be sent in our lives to help us get free but I'm not your way of escape.

No natter what has happened to us is happening to us or will happen if you are still alive that means your life has a purpose because God has a purpose for your life therefore you have a purpose you matter.. it's all in how we approach, deal, respond, handle and think towards situations that will cause what we are facing to appear greater than what it is and we often times don't put in perspective of what God may allow in our lives to show his power in. Through and for us.. So whatever and no matter what state we are in we must be content. We must learn how to abase and how to abound. We must learn that there is somethings we just have to go through our else we wouldn't be where and who we are. There is a season(Ecclesiastes 3 KJV )for all things therefore we have to brace ourselves with effs and flows of this life. No one really knows the way he or she should take but God does. He knows the way we should take and he knows our thoughts afar off ours thoughts are not his thoughts and his ways are not our ways his thoughts are as far off and ahead as the distance between heaven and earth. God will speak to us through the Holy Spirit from Jesus to show us the way but not once did he promise us that the road would be easy but he did say there is an escape from them all but we might not like the pain and or hurt or discouragement and or discomfort we feel during an escape. If there wasn't trouble waiting and lurking for us along the way there would be no reason for God to have to create and escape or a get away from life's issues or the Satan's attacks. The Word escape 1. break free from confinement or control.

slip away

sneak away

get out of someone's clutches

head for the hills I like this because there is a scripture that says I will look to the hills from whence cometh my help my help cometh from the Lord psalm 121

an act of breaking free from confinement or control.

What is the full meaning of escape?

1 : an act or instance of escaping: such as. a : flight from confinement. b : evasion of something undesirable. c : leakage or outflow especially of a fluid. d : distraction or relief from routine or reality. Sometimes we might feel confined to situations and circumstances but God will see us through. What we can and do imagine what our escape should and can be might not be what God's plan looks like. He might have to allow us to face some of the current challenges because he knows what's on the other side. God knows that this time when he prunes us the growth in us of his power will far outweigh what could have been if he would have just saved us from that issue than. Even Paul being and Apostle asked God 3 times to remove a throne in hisside(symbolic of and issue he was facing) God told him no he wouldn't remove the throne because God's grace is sufficient for you. The wages of sin is death even when we ask for forgiveness we have to know that we don't deserve it so as a means of humility sometimes God will allow slight reminds of our humanity to remain so we can solely depend on him. We are where we are today only because Grace (God's unmerited, unearned favor and mercy =undeserved pity follows us all the days of our life. God will use the foolish things to confound the wise so Man(mankind) can't say he did it. Now adays everyone is on this I manifested this in my life kick. Ok love but check your motive and your power source you used to bring forth things into your life.. you can will things in and out your life but did you pray about this and ask God what was in his will for your plans?? because the devil can bless you too while you out here Manifesting blessings you are not seeking God for just your fresh and end up with counterfeit because Satan can't do what God can do he ain't God. But when our flesh is weak he can use that against us and try to pit our own selfish desires on us. Read Philippians 4:8-18 and Ecclesiastes 3

1 Peter 5:8-9

(8) Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. (9) Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world.

Whose voice will you hear? Who are you listening to. Satan? God forbid! The Bible says in Psa 100:3 KJV Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

Joh 10:1-15 KJV 1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. 2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.

God knows us by our name Satan knows us by our circumstances! Which is why he liks to remind you of said circumstances to through you off your walk, to try to steal and kill your faith

4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. 5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. 6 This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them. 7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. 8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. 9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

• The Word Pasture means we shall not want the needful supplies for the true life in Christ if we hear his voice and follow him will have growth and increase lacking or wanting nothing. It's not always monetary but your peace, Joy, healing, love won't lack

But Satan if you listen to his voice just know

10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. 11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. 12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. 13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.

Which is why we have to be sober and vigilant so we can hear our Father's voice

14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. 15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.

So since we know all of that now we have to also know what

1John 1-4 says in 1John 4:1-4 KJV 1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. 4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. Meaning Holy Spirit is our guide and will speak to us to allow us to hear what God has to say to us and because he is on the inside of us we don't have to listen to any other voices. Greater his he that is in us than he that is in the world!
