ONLY LUKE IS WITH ME………..THE STRONGEST MAN WINS………… Reading Text: (St. Luke 11:21-23) 21 When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace:…..22 But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils…..23 He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth…..24 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out……25 And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished……26 Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Continuing ……we are fleshy, so naturally when we think of STRONG, we think of muscles, or mouth and who ever debates best or is the smartest…………..IN THE KINGDOM…..the FIRST SIGN of ……...BEING strong to me, for CHRISTIANS……..IS A GOOD PRAYER LIFE. So many people are weak….simply because of this. We don’t have time. We find it boring. We don’t value it. WE talk, talk, talk, see JESUS do it. And we do it, when in trouble. I plan every morning to get up at FIVE am to pray. AND I HIT THE SNOOZE probably 65 PER cent of the time. LOL! But it never fails. WHEN I forsake SLEEP, get up and pray….MY WHOLE day….IS JUST…different. I handle things better. Discernment is better .Temperment. Nothing upsets me as much. And GOD guides me better through the HOLY SPIRIT………SOME people haven’t had time to learn LOTS of scripture. Takes studying, being taught. But prayer……PRAYER can over come a lot. And yeah…ANYONE, EVERYONE gets better with praying, KNOWING what to pray for, how to pray as we mature. STILL THE BIGGEST OBSTACLE TO PRAYER….is simply doing it. NOBODY really knows. I know the WORD. YOU do too. I kinda know what I’m supposed to say, and what not. I know right from wrong, and my conscious. I CAN FAKE IT in CHRISTIANITY, cause it’s a CULTURE I’ve been around. ……………………….who KNOWS who prays or not? GOD knows, SATAN knows. And the person themselves. …………………………YOU SAY, Brother Trumpet, WHAT does ALL this have to do with this message and those scriptures above. BECAUSE IF YOU REALLY WANT TO BE A STRONG MAN, WOMAN of GOD….who keeps out the DEVIL……………………………………..YOU NEED A SHOT GUN…….PRAYER IS A SHOT GUN………….LOL! It is just HARD, HARD, HARD, for satan to really DOMINATE, over come a PRAYING PERSON…..WITH A TRUE CONSISTENT PRAYER LIFE………BUT when we don’t….I GURANTEE you one way or another…satan is coming, and he WILL wreck havoc. Either through our actions, mouths, lack of being able to restrain ourselves, or knowing how to handle those around us who haven’t prayed, OR BEEN prayed over, so are BAIT for satan. …………………when a STRON MAN ARMED……keeps HIS, OR HER PALACE…..THE GOODS are in peace. But when a stronger then him or her comes…….THAT take it all, and divide it HAPPILY to whoever……..I HAVE ONE PROBLEM in LIFE, and really ONLY ONE PROBLEM…..and it’s BEEN my problem a lot in my life. OH SURE….i have days, maybe months….WHERE I’M A PRAYING FOOL…..but honestly, consistently…………..I BELIEVE MOST PEOPLE have ONE problem….in ARMING themselves………………KNOWING satan and demons are coming one way or another………………………………….PRAYING….TRULY IS THE FIRST AND BEST WAY TO GET ARMED, STAY ARMED….and keep PEACE. Now….there are more things…….bible knowledge, fellowship, obeying GOD in little things…………….NOTHING MORE IMPORTANT THAN PRAYER though. PRAYER is like, again, saying I LOVE you. WE SAY it all the time, I LOVE YOU…..but do we show it. WE WHO ARE CHRISTIANS scream our heads off about prayer. BUT ……FACTS, CONSEQUENCES, AND PROOF, comes from doing it…………NOT talking about it. AND DOING IT CONSISTENTLY….until GOD takes us off this PLANET. Most churches, ministries, families, individuals………ARE UNARMED, for one reason, and one reason alone. THEY DON’T PRAY AS MUCH AS THEY SHOULD. THE STRONGEST MAN OR WOMAN is the ONES WHO PRAY THE MOST…..AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE……………
