Daily Devotional for Thursday June 14, 2018
If You Smoke, Drink Alcohol, Gamble or in Any Kind of Bondage You are Wasting Your Life Away
(John 10:10) ***DAILY PERSONAL PRAYER FOR YOU: Lord, give me the discernment I need today to recognize the traps of satan. Help me to see with spiritual eyes and hear with spiritual ears YOUR Truth alone. In the name of Jesus...AMEN! You could be wasting your life!!! If you smoke, drink alcohol, do drugs, abuse food, engage in sex outside of marriage, gamble, are greedy, or in any other kind of bondage...you ARE wasting your life away. The problem is the bondages in our life sap the very life out of us each day. The time spent indulging in our bondage, and then recovering from our episodes, is precious time that we could be doing something productive. The bondages we get involved in dominate our thoughts. They cause health problems. Once you are involved in any kind of bondage, you are wasting away your precious life!!! Today's Devotional is designed for only one purpose. To make you STOP, perhaps for the first time in a LONG time, be honest with yourself, and ask yourself what has become a bondage that is destroying your very life. Of course all bondage is from satan. His purpose is very clearly defined in our verse today. It is to KILL, STEAL, and DESTROY. Satan wants to kill you to keep you from serving God. He wants to steal your joy and peace to keep you down so that you aren't of any use to God. He wants to destroy you so that those around you have no hope. Because of the victory Jesus won on the cross 2,000 years ago, YOU ALSO CAN LIVE IN VICTORY. I can't force you to stop whatever has you in bondage today, but I can pray for you. Please know I will be taking several hours tonight to pray for those in the Liveprayer family who need to find freedom from whatever bondage may have ensnared them!!! Our life is so short even under the best circumstances, that we need to treat each day as the gift from God that it is. When we waste it by allowing a bondage in our life to take over, we lose out on so much. Jesus promised that we would have a life of abundance. But God gave us freewill to make our own choices. I will be praying today that for those of you NOT in some form of bondage in your life today, that you stay strong and avoid allowing yourself to get caught in that trap. For those who are fighting some bondage today, let me tell you that God is a God of deliverance. I will be praying today that you open your heart and hear HIM speaking to you today. IT IS NO ACCIDENT THAT YOU ARE READING THIS TODAY!!! I love you and care about you so much! Please know God loves you so much. Take a moment and be honest with yourself. If you have allowed some form of bondage to take over your life, TODAY can be a day of deliverance for you. Don't waste another moment of your precious life. God has blessings for you that you can’t even begin to comprehend. Never forget, the devil has only one goal and that is to kill, steal, and destroy. Jesus came to give you life, and life more abundantly. Take your life back today...and LIVE!!! In His love and service, Your friend, brother, and co-laborer in His work, Bill Keller
