The devil has much to say to us but, none of it is true!  There
is no truth in him.... he rants and raves only to try to instill
fear in us.  GOD on the other hand, gives us life, liberty,
faith, courage, mercy, LOVE!  Don't you just love HIM!

FAITH NOT, FEAR!

When the ole’ devil tells you that you
are not going to make is and that you are going down
you are going to have to tell him, “Sorry, you’re the one
who is going down, I am going up!

When he says, “You are a failure”, tell him
“No I can do all things in Christ Jesus!

When he tells you, “You are going to die”, tell him, 
“Well, for me to live is Christ, and to die is GAIN!

When he tells you, “GOD doesn’t love you and you 
are “nothing”, tell him I might not be, but
Christ died for me!

When he tells you, “You are not going to be 
healed”!  Tell him, “By HIS stripes I am
healed”!

When he tells you, “But, but, but, tell him, 
I am a “lamb” not a goat 
for that is the way a goat talks!

Again, when he tells you, “But you are going 
to die”, tell that devil again, I am a 
Lamb and not a goat and my Bible is written in
Lamb Language!!!!  End of Story!

And lastly, when I was living in Birmingham, Alabama
I was on the phone praying with my friend one day.  That day, 
we had 8 tornados locked into our atmosphere around
the Birmingham area for eight hours.  As we were
praying, a tornado passed “over” my apartment building
and did not destroy anything!  I was under the bathroom
counter in my apartment.  As this tornado “passed over”
sounding like a huge train, the LORD reminded me of the
story in the Bible of the Jews leaving Egypt.  They put
the “BLOOD” over the lintels of their doors and
when the LORD saw the BLOOD, HE passed over them.
Well, as we were praying, I am sure that we were invoking
the BLOOD of JESUS and the storm passed over me.
