What I learned in today's Bible readings Mar 24, 2021 5:41:47 GMT -7

I'm trying to read the whole Bible this year. I'm in Exodus now. One of the verses that I like is this one.

'You are to say everything I command you, and your brother Aaron is to tell Pharaoh to let the Israelites go out of his country. ' Exodus 7:2

God says to Moses "Moses, you are to say everything I command you"...... wow. When I read that I kind of feel empowered to tell that (God's Word) to the enemy when he attacks me. Satan will lie like this

sin, look, it's good,look, wow, that's nice huh? oh did you see that?

But if God told Moses to tell Pharaoh 'everything I command you' .......then........ I feel empowered

to obey God and say "The Bible says "Thou shalt not commit adultery" to Satan just like Moses did to Pharaoh. I mean Moses had to face this evil king who was ruthless, idol worshipper, not did not know the LORD.

I think we can, tell the enemy the same things. We use the promises of God. Satan hates it and has to run.

'Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. ' James 4:7

and

'The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you. ' Romans 16:20

Satan knows we are prone to fall into p and m (adultery) and if we are spiritual ready by daily eating the Word of God and communicating with God (prayer) and keeping good fellowship with brothers (fellowship) and in a spirit of love....it will be very hard for Satan to pull his tricks on us to tempt us because we will already have a renewed heart, a renew resolve to live for Jesus, and forsake the old man (natural self / Romans 6) and consider it (old me) dead. but consider new (new) to be alive in Christ. God's miracle and I can't explain it, like the wind in John 3 is like the Holy Spirit giving us a new birth.

Still, we need to eat, get our spiritual armor on, and keep on every day, not getting lazy, fat, etc, (not physical fat, indifference to God's Kingdom). This is a serious warning from the Old Testament.

'Be careful to follow every command I am giving you today, so that you may live and increase and may enter and possess the land the Lord promised on oath to your ancestors. Remember how the Lord your God led you all the way in the wilderness these forty years, to humble and test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commands. He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your ancestors had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord . Your clothes did not wear out and your feet did not swell during these forty years. Know then in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so the Lord your God disciplines you. Observe the commands of the Lord your God, walking in obedience to him and revering him. For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land—a land with brooks, streams, and deep springs gushing out into the valleys and hills; a land with wheat and barley, vines and fig trees, pomegranates, olive oil and honey; a land where bread will not be scarce and you will lack nothing; a land where the rocks are iron and you can dig copper out of the hills. When you have eaten and are satisfied, praise the Lord your God for the good land he has given you. Be careful that you do not forget the Lord your God, failing to observe his commands, his laws and his decrees that I am giving you this day. Otherwise, when you eat and are satisfied, when you build fine houses and settle down, and when your herds and flocks grow large and your silver and gold increase and all you have is multiplied, then your heart will become proud and you will forget the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. He led you through the vast and dreadful wilderness, that thirsty and waterless land, with its venomous snakes and scorpions. He brought you water out of hard rock.
He gave you manna to eat in the wilderness, something your ancestors had never known, to humble and test you so that in the end it might go well with you. You may say to yourself, “My power and the strength of my hands have produced this wealth for me.” But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your ancestors, as it is today. If you ever forget the Lord your God and follow other gods and worship and bow down to them, I testify against you today that you will surely be destroyed. Like the nations the Lord destroyed before you, so you will be destroyed for not obeying the Lord your God.'

I have lived that many times in my own life. I get a good sermon from church (ever since I was a child) then come home, live for me, start to sin.....

or

I have a good marriage relationship with my wife....so I start to become 'forgetful' to read my Bible and pray, I figure, I'm ok, I'm safe now, the devil is not bothering me right now, let me watch some funny videos, or news, or youtube or hours of video games, and .....(I can't see it but it already happened).....a gradual fall, a small comprise, and now I'm more interested in the things of the world more than God, which is wrong for me and wrong for Christians, but we might reason, "well, it's not that bad" and we are listening to "not" the voice of God. God will always draw us back to Him and if this 'voice/thought/feeling' is making us do our own thing more and more...well, who do you think is really speaking to us....it's not God. God will remind us of God's Word, I think that is what Jesus meant when Jesus said.

But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.
John 14:26 NIV

so I have a small test for me.....

when a thought comes to me...whatever it might be

1. looking at that person with lust

2. thinking of that person with lust

3. some other sin

The Holy Spirit will teach me and remind me of ....

everything Jesus told me.

that is how I understand where the thoughts are coming from.

compare the thought with God's Word.

It's sad how I know this but fail to follow it.

Now I feel like a Pharisee who says things but does another...

Now I see who wretched I can be........

'What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God’s law, but in my sinful nature a slave to the law of sin.'

Romans 7:24-25
my.bible.com/bible/111/ROM.7.24-25

Paul said "Thank you God because you deliver me" ,,,,Oh God help me not to forget this. I am forgetful.

through Jesus Christ, I am delivered and so are you brother or sister. yes. God said it.

So why does Paul here say "in my sinful nature I'm a slave to the law of sin?"

Because our natural self apart from God, apart from God's truth, apart from faith in God, ....well, the flesh is weak, we can say "I will quit internet" (equivalent to gouge the right eye) but if the heart matter of lust is not dealt with (Prov 28:13, Psalms 51), our flesh will find some other way to act out (adultery) so ........

'Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy. ' Proverbs 28:13

this is why Paul wrote

'For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace. ' Romans 6:14

'because anyone who has died has been set free from sin. Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him. The death he died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God. ' Romans 6:7-11

So I am dead to sin, but alive...

I can quote that to Satan and his demons and if it's not them, then it's my own thoughts....

'The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. ' 2 Corinthians 10:4-5

and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ
