The Third Eye Perspective Christian Thoughts For Today:
Good Morning Peeps! How are you doing this throwback Thursday morning, good I hope? Are you having a good work week so far, I sure hope so? Have a good and very Blessed Thursday! - May God Bless You and Yours In 2018 and Beyond!!! - “Are YOU 100% sure, that you are Saved and headed to Heaven when you die? Are you sure YOUR name IS written in the Heavenly “Book of Life?” Is there absolutely not a shadow of a doubt in your mind, that your Salvation is already secured and you’re just waiting on the good Lord to call you home to be with Him? If the answer is “No, Not Sure, I Think So, Maybe, or Probably, then you need to get busy right now working on fixing that. You need to be totally sure where your Soul will spend eternity!” And AMEN goes right here….

Thought For Today – “Satan Handed Down An Assignment On You…”
(read Matthew 4: 1-11) Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist and then led by the Spirit into the wilderness where He fasted for 40 days and nights. The devil (Satan) showed up to temp Him. To make a long story short, Jesus told Satan, “It is written, You shall not tempt the Lord your God.” Think back to when you were in Jr High or High School and the teacher handed down a very difficult assignment, such as an long essay about something you really didn’t have a whole lot of interest in? You dreaded that assignment more than anything didn’t you? What was so bad about this assignment? Could it be that you had to do extensive research to gather knowledge about the particular subject that you were tasked with writing about? Or that you had special guidelines or instructions that said you couldn’t plagiarize anyone else’s work, it had to be completely your own? Or could it be that there was so much information needed to be able to complete the assignment and have enough data to write an essay of that length. It is with this train of thought, or line of thinking, that it was placed on my heart this morning to talk about, “Satan Handed Down An Assignment On You!” And AMEN goes right here!!! I remember back when I was in grade school, I absolutely despised having homework! I mean come on miss teacher, don’t you know that I have thangs to do when I get home from school??? Like Basketball, Football, or Track practice? Or my friends want me to go and hang out at the barn, or go ride horses, oh and my grandfather has some farm chores for me to do! Wait, on second thought, I’ll be working on that assignment as opposed to those farm chores! LOL!! Point is, I was not a very happy camper when homework was handed out. Yes I do know that homework is just part of being in anytype of “school,” BUT dang not every other day! Now my son Dawson, he’s totally opposite than me! Whereas I had to work really hard at making my grades back when I was in school, it appears he just breezes thru it. I never have to get on him about not studying or doing his “homework”, but will ask him if he has any just to appease myself as a parental duty, versus actually doing it because I thought he wouldn’t have done it! LOL!
Switching gears, what if I were to tell you that Satan hands out “assignments” on some you? Now calm down, calm down, not everyone but some! If you are either not born a again Christian, have strayed away from God, are mad at God for some reason, or just plain and simply DON’T BELIEVE IN GOD, you are safe and you can breathe. However, if you ARE a Born Again Christian, have strayed away from God, but found your way back, was maybe mad at or blamed God for a tragedy in your life, but repented and asked for forgiveness, one of the true diehard Preachers, Ministers, Bishops that are saving souls on the regular, and last but not least, just an average Christian person trying to motivate, encourage, lead the lost to the Cross, you are not so lucky. Why? Because you are a HUGE threat to Satan and his agenda! Still don’t understand huh? Well you see, as I have said before Satan isn’t concerned about people who are not saved, nor the ones that have strayed from God, or the atheists, or the ones who are mad at God for whatever reason. He either already thinks he has them, or feels pretty confident that he can get them sooner or later when they are at a low enough point. But the Saved ones, and especially the ones who are “putting in WERK for the Kingdom of Heaven,” now THEY prove to be a HUGE threat to Satan! Just not registering still huh? Ok let me try it this way, if even ONE single Saved person convinces just ONE single Unsaved person to become saved, or just ONE single person who has strayed away from God for whatever reason, to find their way back to God, or convinces that person who is mad at God for whatever reason, to go and repent , apologize, and “make up with God,” and last but NOT least, convinces that atheist that there IS a God and they go and get Saved themselves, and all of those people “pay it forward” so to speak, in getting someone else to become Saved, find their way back to God, then you have created a domino effect! But the person that is the common denominator in this, or the foundation that all of these Saved Souls was built on, was the one person who started the domino effect, the Saved Christian person who chose to at the very least, TRY to convince the non-believers that it was unhealthy for them NOT TO BELIEVE IN GOD!!!! Satan has the ability to also “peek into your future” just like God does, to see what we are capable of, or if you’ll end up becoming what God has destined you to become (GREATNESS) to serve His purpose for the Kingdom of Heaven! Once Satan sees your potential in saving souls, he will hand out assignments to his demons to try and take you OUT! Now only YOU/ME/US can allow that to happen! Because when God has a purpose for your life, a destiny, a task, etc.. there is NOTHING Satan can do to keep it from happening. However, he can delay it and in the meantime try and frustrate you with failure enough that you give up on yourself, but only if you allow him (Satan) to do so….
So now you know how much potential each of us have in accomplishing great things for the Kingdom of Heaven! However, that only happens when you remove the “I, Me” from the equation, and replace them with He (God in Heaven). Also, again I must remind you that Satan knows that too, and he can’t allow that to happen! He will dispatch his demons to wreak havoc in our lives to discourage us, break our spirit, make us want to give up, quit, stray away from, turn our backs on, and just forget all about God! That’s how he can delay our destiny for greatness that God has intended long enough to discourage us from ever reaching or fulfilling it. I had a good and dear friend, Pastor Robert McCray, tell me that the reason God allows us to go thru so much pain and suffering, is because as the old saying goes, “you can’t have a Testimony without first having a test”!!! And AMEN goes right here too! How much more effective can a Christian be in motivating, saving, encouraging, someone who’s lost and maybe going thru the same thing that Christian went thru, to be Saved when they have had some of, if not most of the same tests the lost person has gone thru or are currently going thru??? EXACTLY!! Ding, Ding, Ding, the light bulb is going off now huh? Satan’s “assignment” can only be successful if you allow it to, by believing his lies, tricks, and dirty deceiving tactics to lure you to the “Dawk Side” LOL! That is pretty much the only weapon Satan can use on us that has proven to be effective in the past. If he is able to convince us that God is too busy for us, doesn’t care about us anymore, or don’t love us anymore, or doesn’t even exist at all, then he can work with that. He can use that false info to lower our morals down low enough to get us to do some of his dirty work! I am going to really raise some eyebrows with this next statement, “God is not battling Satan in THIS day and age, He is battling the corruption in OUR minds! He defeated Satan long, long ago, but now is battling our very own mindsets and mentalities that have become tainted if you will. But Satan can still TAKE YOU OUT PERMANANTLY if you let him, by falling for his lies. God will never try to TRICK, FORCE, or COHERCE you into doing anything! There is always a choice with God, either you can do it HIS way or you can do it YOUR way, the choice is totally up to you! Can I leave you with a life changing or altering question?
Based on the description I have described above on WHO Satan has issued “assignments” on, should you be concerned or relieved? If your answer is “relieved” then you apparently didn’t read too closely what that really meant, if Satan isn’t concerned about you! READ IT AGAIN! LOL
Can I get an Amen????
“Today, Choose To “Ride or Die” With Jesus Christ! Afterall, isn’t that exactly what Jesus Christ did on the Cross?”
