The Face of the Enemy

The Face of the Enemy
The worldly mindset will advise us to study our enemies
in order to bring them down.
In the kingdom of God we don’t study our enemies,
we bring them down with the name above all other names,
Christ Jesus our Lord.
David didn’t study or meditate on the height of Goliath,
he just defeated him.
You are not called to meditate and look upon your problem for a long time.
You don’t have to be tall and strong like your problem in order to defeat it.
If you were as strong and tall as your problems,
when you defeated them the credit would go to you and not to the Lord.
Your height and strength would be lifted up and exalted.
When you are small and weak, the glory will go to the Lord.
When you are small and weak,
you are eligible to face the enemy and build an everlasting testimony.
As you face your enemy, don’t meditate on his height, face, or strength.
If you do it will bring you down.
You have Christ in you.
You can stop meditating on the enemy.
You can stop shaking.
We are called to be as wise as serpents (see Matthew 10:16).
True wisdom will help us to see the face of our Lord
and meditate on His face and height, not the face and height of our enemies.
No matter how tall, how wide, or how strong our enemy,
the Lord is the tallest, strongest, and most beautiful of all.
The Lord is the Beginning and the End (see Revelation 22:13).
We can do it.
We can look upon His face rather than our enemies’ faces.
It is so much more fun looking at Jesus’ face as we go toward our enemies.
Now, after learning to stop looking at the size of our enemies,
it is also time to stop looking at our own size.
We can apply the same principle here.
Meditate on the Lord God Almighty.

From Getting to Giving

From Getting to Giving I had a meeting with a minister today and it was very hard for me. When I got back home, I asked the Lord to tell me the reason. I felt He said that I went to the meeting to receive, not to give. I went to the meeting to get some possible connection for future ministry. May the Lord change our attitude from getting to giving . Selfishness will creep in on us and jump on our shoulders. No matter what we do, if we do it to gain something, we will never be satisfied. Most of our giving is conditional, and conditional acts open the door for our old nature to kick in. Unconditional acts open the door for our new nature to come in. When our new nature rules, there is peace and comfort in the Spirit. But when our old nature rules, there is agony and discomfort. May we allow the Spirit of God to come out of us through our unconditional acts and thoughts. From Kamran Yaraei’s Book “Food For The Heart”.

He Comes to Kill

He Comes to Kill When facing a thief with a gun in our houses or workplaces, we think that if we give him all of our money, then he will leave us alone and let us live. Sometimes we have the same mindset when we meet Jesus. We believe that if we give everything we have to the Lord, and serve Him well, then He might just let us live. But the point is this: The Lord doesn’t come to steal, but to kill. He is not after our possessions, He is after our flesh—our old, sinful nature. The Lord will use all of our daily struggles to kill our flesh. Our good works and giving will not stop Him from doing this. “Whoever seeks to keep his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it” (Luke 17:33). It is very important to know that as we get closer to the Lord, we get closer to the death of our flesh. This should be great news to us. He wants us to get close enough that He can kill our old nature, which is thoroughly described in Galatians 5:19-20: Now the works of the flesh are ev...
