Therefore Pilate said to Him, “So You are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.” John 18:37.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
I want to make your life beautiful, the most beautiful life ever lived and the way you help Me to do this is by the word of your testimony. What are you saying? Make sure it is the truth.
In various places in the Bible I tell you what Jesus came to do and today I would like to line them up so you learn how to overcome the accusations and deceptions of the devil. For he has deceived most people, even believers, in some area of their lives if not all and for many he has kept them from doing what I planned for their lives. It started with Adam. Do not let that be you.
Jesus came to undo the works of the devil.
Little children, make sure no one deceives you; the one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous; the one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to undo the works of the devil. 1 John 3:7-8.
How do the works of the devil come about and perpetrate? Jesus told you that the devil is a thief who steals, kills, and destroys. John 10:10.
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly. John 10:10.
And how does he steal from you? The same way he did with Adam. By deception but a certain type of deception, the deception that My Word that I give you is not true and that I am holding things back from you that would make you a god.
And he said to the woman, “Indeed, has God said, ‘You shall not eat from any tree of the garden’?” The woman said to the serpent, “From the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat; but from the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat from it or touch it, or you will die.’” The serpent said to the woman, “You surely will not die! For God knows that in the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” Genesis 3:1-4.
And Jesus explained more, the first parable He told was about My Word and in this parable He shows you how the devil steals, kills, and destroys. And this is why for a majority of people, three out of four, who hear My Word there is no harvest of the promises in it that would give them. In other words, why most people are not living beautiful and awesome lives free from illness, poverty, and eternal death. They are testifying to and living a lie. Now read the parable and think of the seed as My Word that different types of people hear and the soil represents the condition of their hearts:
And He was teaching them many things in parables, and was saying to them in His teaching, “Listen to this! Behold, the sower went out to sow; as he was sowing, some seed fell beside the road, and the birds came and ate it up (STEALS). Other seed fell on the rocky ground where it did not have much soil; and immediately it sprang up because it had no depth of soil. And after the sun had risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away. (KILLS). Other seed fell among the thorns, and the thorns came up and choked it, and it yielded no crop (DESTROYS). Mark 4:1-7.
And now let us see what the methods are that kill, steal and destroy My Word in you so it is not fruitful as it has the power to be if properly released and cultivated by the receiver.
And He said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? How will you understand all the parables? The sower sows the Word. These are the ones who are beside the road where the word is sown; and when they hear, immediately Satan comes and takes away the word which has been sown in them. Mark 4:13-14.
He steals it by putting your attention on other things that harden your heart so that it never plants in your heart. You give it no value. It is very easy for him to steal it from the one who has a hardened heart like the footpath (sidewalk) beside the road. You see no benefit in it at all.
In a similar way these are the ones on whom seed was sown on the rocky places, who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy; and they have no firm root in themselves, but are only temporary; then, when affliction or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they fall away. Mark 4:16-17.
He kills it by getting others to reject you or persecute you for believing the Word. He also does it by bringing unclean spirits of infirmity, sickness, and various troubles that, if not resisted, cause the person to decide the Word does not work and fall away from their interest in cultivating it. They say it does not work as promised. They have looked at circumstances and instead of resisting what is not from Me and continuing to speak the truth and stand on it till the liar must back off.
Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. James 4:7.
Instead, they take in the lie with no resistance and reject My Word.
“And my hand reached to the riches of the peoples like a nest, and as one gathers abandoned eggs, I gathered all the earth; and there was not one that flapped its wing or opened its beak or chirped.” Isaiah 10:14.
They offer no resistance, no persistence, and hence never see a harvest and simply declare the lie that My Word does not work because they are not healed, not prosperous, and not successful. And yet, in truth, they are all that, in Christ I have blessed you with every spiritual blessing in they just have refused to receive it. By faith you sow the Word in your life and by faith you reap the harvest, you have to keep with it.
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. Stand firm therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit. Ephesians 6:10-18.
And the next step he destroys My awesome plan for your life, your reward, and your inheritance.
And others are the ones on whom seed was sown among the thorns; these are the ones who have heard the word, but the worries of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things enter in and choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.” Mark 4:18-19.
It goes from the Word given no attention or value, to the Word being received and then rejected as not true, and then it goes on to the unfruitfulness of a wasted and destroyed life, for once you have rejected My Word as not true, and it goes farther, for once the Word is not true, then to that person I am not true, and it goes on to that I do not exist at all. All just evolved. It starts with the Word being stolen but what follows, because I am My Word and Jesus is My Word made flesh, it goes on to “no God.”
The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, they have committed abominable deeds; there is no one who does good. Psalm 14:1
Once it gets there, you have been fooled out of your inheritance, the Kingdom of Heaven, but there is even more, like David saw in the spirit, your inheritance is beautiful, you are joint heirs with Christ and He has been given full authority in Heaven and on earth.
I kept looking, and that horn was waging war with the sanctified and overpowering them until the Ancient of Days came and judgment was passed in favor of the sanctified of the Highest One, and the time arrived when the sanctified took possession of the kingdom. . . But the court will sit for judgment, and his dominion will be taken away, annihilated and destroyed forever. Then the sovereignty, the dominion and the greatness of all the kingdoms under the whole heaven will be given to the people of the sanctified of the Highest One; His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all the dominions will serve and obey Him.’ Daniel 7:21-22, 26-27.
And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:18-20.
Most people think they are saying the truth because they are repeating what the facts and circumstances are as they see them from the flesh alone. There is no spirit there. And the facts, because the devil and his unclean demons are very busy knowing their time is short, may not line up with My Word, which is truth.
The Israelites, whom I had repeatedly told since I first told Abraham that I would give his descendants the land I showed him, knew of My promise of the land they were head towards when I redeemed that out of the slavery of Egypt. And through Moses, I had told them about the giants in there as well as the beautiful fortified cities and large homes I was giving them. And I told them I was sending an angel before them to conquer the giants with them.
But when they went into the land I promised them to spy out the land, instead of appreciating in awed wonder the amazing things I was giving them freely and the promise to conquer all as I had when I redeemed them out of Egypt by mighty wonders never seen before, they gave no value to My Word in the light of what looked like, to them, a contradiction to My Word.
Then all the congregation lifted up their voices and cried, and the people wept that night. All the sons of Israel grumbled against Moses and Aaron; and the whole congregation said to them, “Would that we had died in the land of Egypt! Or would that we had died in this wilderness! Why is the Lord bringing us into this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will become plunder; would it not be better for us to return to Egypt?” So they said to one another, “Let us appoint a leader and return to Egypt.” Numbers 14:1-4.
The devil stole My Word from them, they did not ever value it instead they complained and grumbled about everything (they had hard hearts), when circumstances looked like affliction and hardship for them so they gave up the Word (never planted firmly), and then fear and worry destroyed it all (totally rejected My Word as false and spoke the lie as true and destroyed their destiny, assignment, and inheritance). And they never entered the promised land but cut their lives short by early death wandering in the desert.
How could have they have overcome this downward spiral to destruction? By the blood of the Lamb (knowing you are forgiven and righteous with My righteousness) and the Word of their testimony. What should your testimony be to overcome deception?
Therefore Pilate said to Him, “So You are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say correctly that I am a king. For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.” John 18:37.
Testify to the truth. You are to do the works He did and then you too can undo the works of the devil by healing the sick, raising the dead, multiplying supplies, and leading all to the Kingdom, for I desire all men to be saved AND come to know the truth. It is continuing in the truth that makes you My disciples and sets you free to reach your full potential and destiny and drives out the darkness of lies with the light of the truth.
What did I tell Paul his mission, his assignment, for the rest of his life was when Jesus appeared to him on the Road to Damascus? To go to gentiles and Jews, to all people, so as “to open their eyes so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the dominion of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who have been sanctified by faith in Me.” Acts 26:18.
The deception about My Word and who I am has been so well received by even believers that you will hear people saying sickness, poverty, and horrible things are from Me and are My mysterious Will. Never. Why would I tell you My Name is the LORD who heals you if I put sickness on you? Why would I promise you that by the bloody scourging of Jesus you are healed if then I made you sick? That He bore you ills and pains? That all your sins are gone as if they had never been because they were borne by Him and He paid your judgment and satisfied your sentence so why would you still accept that lie of the accuser that you are not forgiven and you are condemned? Why would I be the LORD who looks ahead and provides, who teaches you to profit and the way you should go, who desires above all that you prosper and be in good health even as your soul prospers by walking in the truth, if I love poverty in My children?
STOP testifying to lies and testify to the truth. For that is the ONLY way you will undo the works of the devil and release the people being oppressed throughout all the nations. For he is the deceiver of the nations.
We know that we are of God, and that the whole world lies in the power of the evil one. And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life. Little children, guard yourselves from idols. 1 John 5:19-21.
Wake up to righteousness and be far from oppression.
“In righteousness you will be established; you will be far from oppression, for you will not fear; and from terror, for it will not come near you. If anyone fiercely assails you it will not be from Me. Whoever assails you will fall because of you.” Isaiah 54:14-15.
Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore do not be partakers with them; for you were formerly darkness, but now you are Light in the Lord; walk as children of Light (for the fruit of the Light consists in all goodness and righteousness and truth), trying to learn what is pleasing to the Lord. Do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but instead even expose them; for it is disgraceful even to speak of the things which are done by them in secret. But all things become visible when they are exposed by the light, for everything that becomes visible is light. For this reason it says, “Awake, sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.” Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise, redeeming and making the most of your time, because the days are evil. So then do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. Ephesians 5:6-17.
Keep lies about My Word out of your mouth. You may say you do not lie about My Word but if you say you are not healed that is a lie. Jesus healed you over two thousand years ago, you have just not received the truth. What do I mean? You gave up when it did not seem that all your pleading, begging, and reciting healing scriptures now and then testing if they work or not were successful. But did you answer that spirit of whatever is malfunctioning or sick in you with the truth that you are healed and it cannot stay in you since the Holy Spirit is in you and by the stripes of Jesus you have been healed? Have you believed that in your heart and spoken it with your mouth? Have you cast the care on Me and thanked Me for showing you what you should do for the healing? Have you meditated on My Word day and night and kept everything out of your mouth except My Words and promises? Joshua 1:8. And after asking by declaring who I am, did you receive it in your spirit? Did you pounce on the promise as your lifeline and receive it as done with the voice of thanksgiving?
Are you still standing and putting on the girdle of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, holding up the shield of faith with the helmet of salvation on your head and taking up the sword of the Spirit in prayer power packed with My Word declaring that I am the LORD your healer and thanking Me for being that for you? Or are you lazy like the Israelites, no effort to listen to Me or know My Word just complaining that I do not do what I said and that My Word has no power to save, heal, and deliver?
Do you beg and cry but never believe to receive? It is impossible to receive if you really don’t believe. Begging, whining and crying means you do not know what you have and the devil has successfully stolen the truth from you and blinded your mind to who I have made you to be in Christ. He has made you believe that My Word is not true and I am withholding from you.
Are you harboring hatred, unforgiveness, blame and shame and growing bitter roots in your heart? Let Me help you pull them out so you can open the door to your heart to receive My good promises.
The righteous shall live by faith, holding fast to My Word by their testimony, and not backing down overwhelmed into doubt by the lies of the devil, even in the mouth of someone you love.
Be careful about lying about My Word, stop saying that sometimes I do not heal or do not prosper because you know someone you all prayed for and she or he believed and died from the sickness. Do not be deceived, what I say is the truth and I want My Will done on earth as it is in Heaven. Jesus went through so much to redeem you from the curse of the law of sin and death (which is sickness, poverty, and eternal death) do not let My grace be in vain for you. Even when it looks like holy people are not healed. You do not know what is in hearts.
Be careful about attributing the actions of Satan to Me. Jesus warned you about that when the Pharisees said He had an unclean spirit in Him. If you attribute the work of unclean spirits to My Spirit you have just blasphemed the Holy Spirit and you know what I say about doing that. Selah.
I love you. Nothing is impossible, too wonderful, or to hard for Me and everything is possible for the one that believes that and receives accordingly. But remember, you can claim nothing but what has been given you from on high. Find the scripture that I gave what you are seeking to you and that settles it. But remember above all you overcome all deception with two unchangeable truths: The blood of the Lamb by which you are forgiven, cleansed of all sin, redeemed and made righteous, and the Word of your testimony by which you take down all the lies of the evil one, by which you are cleansed of all impurities, by which you receive faith, and by which you overcome the world, the flesh, and the devil. And My Word became flesh and dwelt among you and He is the truth, the way, and the life. Do you see why the Holy Spirit testifies to Jesus? And so must you. No liar has ever made it into Heaven, it is a place of truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, and that will be why you are saved, born again from above, and a new creation in Christ, because you have confessed the truth. Remember it is still about the blood, the water of the Word, and the Spirit. 1 John 5:5-12.
