The Cross

When I look into the world today, I see so much evil , lots of pain and so little joy. It seems everyday the devil is working hard to destroy marriages, break up family's, ruin friendships, take away our precious children and also peoples joy.The devil seems to have a lot of people helping his cause. He has ex-husbands, ex-wives, husbands, wives, best friends,children, the media, politicians and even have men or women of God spreading untruths or lies.Then some of them are even committing crimes or murders and sadly enough killing or raping our kids. He has family members being envious or jealous of each other and others are hateful even to their own children or spouses. Some people aren't happy unless their spouses or children are suffering or need them for help.These family member are the ones who talk about, their own children, mother, father behind their backs and while others stoop so low that they will talk about their cousins, grandparents or friends. The devil has been real busy seeking or destroying peoples lives, so much so that he will not stop at nothing, until the world or people of God start serving or believing in only him.

When I think about all the bad that's going on in the world today, all I have to do is think about someone very special who died on Calvary, on the cross for you and me. His name is Jesus! Thank God, for the one who can make the devil hide, then grant me the wisdom to have both peace and space. How do I achieve this peace and rid myself of the devil you may ask?  I look to the cross and then seek my salvation. When I am trouble or even feel the presence of evil or the devil, I invoke the mighty name of Jesus and Satan flees. If you are wearing a cross today or even have one in your home or yard, remember this it is more than jewelry and its not decoration! Its is a symbol or a reminder of that great sacrifice,when Jesus Christ(God's son) was crucified , then bled so that we all may live and be forgiven for our future or past sins. God loves you and I. He wants all of us to rebuke the devil, to turn away from evil, to have faith when times are hard and to trust only him to get us all through it. When there are times ,when there seems to be no hope and you need an answer to your prayers. Look to your cross, then think about the great sacrifice that, Gods son Jesus made on our behalf's. Because after that great sacrifice, Jesus Christ rose from the dead three days latter. He declared victory over the devil and he conquered death. Our Father in Heaven and his son Jesus Christ have all power in their hands. They will deliver all who are faithful and true ,from the clutches of the devil or evil. No matter what happens in your life never loose faith and always hold on to the Cross.

May God bless you and have a blessed Easter,

Charles

Philippians 2:8

And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death--even death on a cross!

 Corinthians 8:9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich.
