“One Way Only”

Scripture:

Psalm 44:5-8
Only by Your Power can we push back our enemies;
Only by Your Name can we trample our foes.
I do not trust my bow; I do not count on my sword to save me.
It is You who humbles those who hate us.
O God, we give glory to You all day long and constantly praise Your Name. (NLT)

Observation:

The most dangerous battle that we are faced with in America today is the battle for our hearts and minds and most critically, the intense battle for the life of our souls. It is physically and mentally impossible to escape the rise in ungodly living and the immorality that has befallen our nation which continues to attack the moral fiber of God’s sovereign holiness and His will for our lives. The satanic power of the media and government are teaching our children to rebel against God and His call for righteous living so they can live as they please by downplaying our sinful nature to get what we can and do whatever feels good. This same satanic force is also compromising the Christian faith of adult believers to conform with the new age ideology, which is transforming the absolute, inerrant Truth of God’s Word in order to justify our sin filled actions that fit in with the many gods of this fallen world who preach social justice and fairness over God’s justice and righteousness. The only way we can successfully combat this onslaught of Satanism is by casting ourselves upon the omnipotence and mercy of our Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ, asking Him to reveal the Truth through His Word and stay connected with His true Church—those who are being lead by the Holy Spirit.

Application:

There are many voices we can listen to that sound good and seem well intended, but are voices that will mislead you in the wrong direction to spread their false gospel to the many confused and lost people who are groping in the darkness of this deceitful world, looking for anything or anyone that will ease their pain and give them hope. Our Hope and Victory over this world and death is available for everyone to find and receive. But do not be fooled by the sly words of God’s enemies, my dear friends, for there is only One Way; Jesus the Christ (John 14:6). One Truth; God’s Word, the Holy Bible (John 17:17). And One Life; in the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:2). Therefore, we must be well grounded in God’s Word, closely connected with the Holy Spirit, and trustfully believe in Jesus as Savior—all the while praising and thanking God for who He is and what He has so graciously given all His people—our undeserved and unearned salvation!

Prayer:

O God, pour out Your Spirit to help us discern Your Truth from that of the world’s which is both misleading and false. Help us remain alert and on our guard for the enemies attack on You and all that You stand for. We need Your awesome Power, for the battle is tough and will rage on until You return and make things right.
Amen
