FOCUS ON THE LORD AND ON HIM ALONE

October 21

y Child, do you know how to glorify the devil? Of course, you don’t want to do so! Instead of giving glory to your Father in Heaven, my children often concentrate on what evil thing the enemy has accomplished in their lives. Testimonies are often filled with pleas for protection against the devil that has such great power against them. Aren’t you tired of this language? What can you do? Watch your language! Is your testimony or language sprinkled with words which tend to project the devil as an overblown enemy at work in your life? He is not that at all! You know as well as I do that the only ones who tend to fear the devil and his evil workers are those who have something to hide from their Father in Heaven. Those who keep a back door open to a convenient sin in their lives should be aware of the power of the enemy against them. But those who appeal to the blood of Jesus for cleansing and healing of unseen areas of sin in their lives are the ones who are equipping themselves to overcome through the power of the Lord Jesus. These are the ones who are very careful to speak the language of heaven instead of a language of defeat which only tends to glorify the evil one. You ask, “What is this language of heaven?” You only speak this language in relation to the condition of your heart. If you desire with all your heart to be clean in the presence of your heavenly Father, your heart itself will call for the blood of Jesus to be applied to your mind and spirit. The wonderful Holy Spirit will come to you and teach you how to glorify the Father and not the devil with your speech. For instance, instead of saying, “O the devil has really been attacking me of late,” you will say, “I know that the devil has sought to oppress me and my loved ones, however, I will have nothing to do with him or his evil plans against me!” You say instead, “For all the evil that the devil would work against me, my Father in Heaven is working day and night by His awesome, unlimited power do me good!” Indeed, my child, “He that is in you is greater (by far) than he (the devil) that is in the world.” (I John 4:4) Do you believe this? Of course, you do! Do not glorify the devil! Do not speak about him with fear of him or his workers of iniquity! He is fighting a losing war which will soon be over! Fill your language with your love and trust of your Father in Heaven. Fill your speech with adoration and praise, for great things He has done, and is doing in your life and the world all around you! Be blessed my children!

Father, you are right! There is too much language about the enemy and what he is doing! I will shift the percentages of my language about you and your greatness in my life and in the earth today! You live in the praises of your children. I will be careful to praise you and bless you before the people with my mouth. You are worthy of my exaltations and highest praises! I give you glory in Jesus’ name, amen!
