Alright, Who's In Charge Here? (3 of 6)
Kathleen reviews satan's tempting of Jesus with what this world offers, 2 kingdoms, 2 rulers. People ask, if God is control, why does He let bad things happen? Satan is the ruler of hell and is currently ruler of this world. God WANTS you to go to Him. You haven't made Him Lord if you are still running your own life. Loving God means doing His will. Worship God, not earthly idols. When you have prayed the Word and still feel worried, tempted to lose hope, or want to give up, He will provide a way out.
Build Your House On the Rock (6 of 6)
Get to know who you really are by getting to know Jesus. If you’re on a trek for self-realization you should get to know HIM! Although "Born Again" has gotten a bad rap, you have to be born again to live in the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. By living in the Kingdom of Heaven, you can see joy and have protection and peace.
Choose Where You Will Stand (2 of 6)
When satan comes and tempts you, use the Word like Jesus did. Satan offered Jesus all the kingdoms of the world because they were his to give. We are always offered the world, the world's way. We need to choose God's way, His Word. How can we be wise and make the most of opportunities if we don't know the difference between the two kingdoms - Heaven or the world?
Choosing The Kingdom Of God
Knowing exactly what the Kingdom of God is makes it easier to choose to live in it and your choice affects eternity!
Use Your Weapons Correctly (4 of 6)
Kathleen reviews the two kingdoms and the two rulers. Jesus does not set you up to fail. He will always provide a way out. This world is controlled by satan. But because of Jesus we have His authority (not His power-there is a difference). We have the fruit of the Spirit. Read the Word and believe that it is true. Why put a question mark where God puts a period? You can hear lies so often that you start to believe they are true. The WORD is our only defensive weapon. Use the WORD outloud. Christians need to memorize and USE scriptures. If you defend your anger, fear, etc, you will keep it. Think about that! Instead, say "I have a good reason to be afraid. BUT I have not been given a spirit of fear, but of power and love and sound mind."
