The saints was anticipating and received a much needed Word from the Lord! Social and racial tensions, political unrest along with diplomatic stresses have further stirred a world that finds itself closer to our Father?s return than many probably realize. Bishop McLaughlin, provided balance and perspective to today?s matters through the Word of God, regarding recent events in our world?s news.?Sunday’s?message, ?The Devil Is Busy? was a poignant reminder of the true core of the issues we face today.? Citing Revelations?12:11?and 1 Peter 5:8, Bishop began by reminding most and informing others of who our adversary really is.? Our true adversary, the Devil, never sleeps, never rests and is constantly at work attempting to shake our faith and even completely rob the people of God of their faith altogether. We should never think that our Father is not going to intervene on our behalf for everything that God has proclaimed and promised us. The adversary, literally defined as ?one who opposes?, is not moved by our education, our opinions, our church attendance, or even our gifts.? Bishop then encouraged us all that there is but one thing that will thwart the plans of the enemy and that one thing is the Word of God!? When we are properly aligned with God through consistent fellowship with the saints, forgiveness, walking in peace with the brethren and resisting the temptations of the enemy, we distance ourselves from his devices and attempted strongholds in our lives.? Arguing, faulting and having a critical or judgmental spirit fuels the devil and gives him a foothold in your life. So, be encouraged and know that the times in which we live are at times disturbing BUT also know that the God we serve knows all, sees all and is perfectly positioned to grant victory to his chosen people as he has done so many times before!? The Devil Is Busy but still defeated?! ?#tphimjax #wordofGod #victory
