CREATED !!

READ: Genesis 1:26-31; 2:18-24

“Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.” - Ezekiel 28:15  

Satan forgot that he was a created being and wanted to rise and replace God on His throne. Perhaps his singing and music attracted so much praise that he thought the music came from within himself. Just accepting that you are normal shows that you are humble and not puffed up. Accept that you are just like everyone else. Accept the fact that you need help.
Many people do not like to discuss realities! When you speak about marriage or sex they look at you as though you are vulgar or profane. It is humility to accept your human needs, desires and tendencies. It is wise and humble to understand yourself and to accept yourself. When you are puffed up and cannot bring yourself to behold or discuss your human realities, you will find yourself falling.
Some people who decided that they were above the sexual activities of normal marriage have actually fallen far below the natural created state and into depraved forms of sexuality such as having sex with their own sex or with little children. Such people will secretly give themselves over to pornography and other perversions.
To accept your humanity is to avoid embarrassment and humiliation. To think that you are special and do not need to do the base activities that other human beings do, is to be puffed up. Accept that you are a man like every other man and a woman like every other woman. Take decisions that reveal that you respect these realities. That is humility. Do not be like Lucifer who forgot that he was created.

I was alive once without the law, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died. And the commandment, which was to bring life, I found to bring death. Romans 7:9–10 In 1942, C S Lewis wrote a brilliant book entitled  The Screwtape Letters . It tells the story of a senior demon teaching a junior demon how to exploit man’s weaknesses and frailties. Along the same lines, I would imagine that Romans 7:9 is probably the most studied and memorized verse in hell. All junior demons would be taught this verse and the lecture would be titled, “How to bring about a revival of sin”! According to Paul, when you introduce the law, there will be a REVIVAL OF SIN! And that’s not all. Apart from reviving sin, the law also kills and brings death! Isn’t it amazing, then, that there are well-meaning ministers who preach strongly on the Ten Commandments, thinking that imposing the law would cause sin to be removed? According to Romans 3:20, “ by the law is the knowledge of sin .” In ot

Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have,   but what I do have I give you: In the name of   Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.” Acts 3:6 Join me in reading this wonderful report that Gisele from Texas shared with me that demonstrates how you can take authority over your situation by standing on the Word of God: My husband had surgery for hiatal hernia. It was a simple procedure where a piece of mesh was inserted into the affected area and he was able to return home the same day. However, he became increasingly unwell after he got home. He was feeling very bloated, had a lot of pain, and was running a fever. He was admitted back to the hospital and we spent the next week there. It turned out that a bowel obstruction was causing all his problems. Another surgery was planned. Honestly, we felt very discouraged and defeated at that point. Then, I remembered learning a few weeks earlier from Joseph Prince about how Christians should take charge and command sym
