THE STAIRWAY

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: “I tell you the truth, you will see heaven open and the angels of God going up and down on the Son of Man, the one who is the stairway between heaven and earth.” John 1:51

TODAYS’S MESSAGE: I hear so many say that the troubles we have today are no worse that the troubles of those before us. I would disagree with that thinking. In today’s world we see the devil increasing his warfare because he knows the end of the story and that his time is very short. It is because of his increase in effort that you and I must be so very careful in our efforts to live on this earth. The devil is scheming with strong lies and deception, the strength of which has not been seen before. However, you and I have been given even stronger tools and weapons to maneuver in this world. We have been given strength in the truth, understanding when we ask, wisdom, and the shield of faith to ward of the hurts and deception of the devil. This spiritual warfare is on its last legs. The devil knows that the next stage is about to take form. Jesus is about to return. The devil is not about to let up. It is dangerous to even go into a town as we used without the fear of something bad happening. It important that we keep up our faith by being strong in knowing the Word of God and how to use it. It is also important to know that we have been given the stairway to heaven, in the person of Jesus Christ. We have the assurances from God’s promises that when our time is up on this earth, we will take that journey without disability or pain. We must always remember that the battles that are going on today are spiritual battles. The war is about the devil(bad) and our God in heaven(good). When we remember and understand this, our efforts become so much easier, because we know that we are victorious. We know that it doesn’t matter whether we live on this earth or in heaven we are a part of this battle. We are already victorious! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
