Running with Jesus 2015

Luke 4:5-7 And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.

                Well this temptation was found in a sermon Jesus later preached, what shall it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul! This temptation is what I see people today looking for in the American dream. People have bought into the biggest lie of Satan that money can buy anything. Having things is what it is all about. I see so many leading their children this way too. We give them everything but salvation. This world will pass away and after this the judgment and it is appointed unto man once to die! All will die and all will leave this world like they came in with nothing of this world going with them. Satan is the prince of this world and can give us promises in trade for our souls. We see wealthy people commit suicide because they have no peace. I am not saying riches are wrong but when we run with the devil and do it his way it will always lead to destruction.

                America is running with the devil we are losing the soul of America. We must resist the temptation of bowing to Satan and his ways. We must return to bow before God alone. Jesus told Satan we are to worship and serve God alone. If you are leaving God out of your life you are bowing to the enemy. He is offering you pleasures for your soul or your kids souls. It will cost eternal consequences. Jesus did not bow to Satan to sit on a throne but would hang on a cross and later all will one day bow before Him because He is the King of Kings. Jesus said it is written thou shall worship God alone.
  What are you worshipping? Where your time, money and energy goes is the revelation of where your heart is and who is running your life? Just saying!

Father, lead us not into temptation to run with the world. Help us run with You alone! Help us not bow to the world system ran by Satan! Help us bow daily before you!

Tomorrow: Tempting God!
