GIVE YOUR ALL

The girls and I have put some limitations on the food we are eating until Thanksgiving.  I am not so sure it was a good idea to give up sweets.  I love a great cake and I have attended several weddings.  What I do is I limit myself to one bite instead of a whole piece.

Limitations- restrictions, restraint, control.  Have you put a limit on certain things in your life?  Chapter 9 of Spirit of Python was entitled, “Limiting Your Life.”

Have you let the devil put limitations on your life?  Do you believe those whispers in your ear when he tells you, “you aren’t good enough, and you can’t do that?”

Satan wants to put limitations on our lives so that we won’t work for the good of the Lord.  He likes to remind you of past mistakes and errors in judgment.  He wants to make you feel that the job the Lord has for you - you can’t do.  He wants you to feel inadequate.  Satan wants you to continue to feel defeated. 

Why do we let Satan do this to us?  One because he is very good at it.  He is crafty and intelligent.  He comes in through the backdoor as a welcomed guest, but he quickly turns into an intruder. 

When our house alarm goes off it begins to shout intruder intruder leave immediately.  This is what we must do to Satan.  Shout to him to LEAVE IMMEDIATELY!  Tell him YOU ARE NOT WELCOME!  You have no place in your life for Satan to limit the work the Lord has placed on your heart.  If Jesus had let Satan put limitations on His work we wouldn’t be saved nor would we be forgiven. 

Don’t limit yourself to one bite of life because of Satan.  Give the world your whole cake!

Galatians 5:1New International Version (NIV)

5 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.
