"February 7, 2014 God's Living Bible - The Third Testament - God's New Revelations - The Gospel of Messiah and Apostle Rev Colleen Etana - God and The Devil
God With Colleen Etana through The Holy Spirit:
A neighbor of mine had a heart attack last year. My brother, who is a hard core Christian tells him, "Oh it's just the enemy attacking you", referring to the devil or satan.
Do you realize how this sounds? The devil forced a heart attack on that man? The devil made me drink and drive? Or whatever else it is. You're using the devil as an excuse or scapegoat more often than not.
Come on. It couldn't be because he didn't take good care of his body, exercise and eat right, could it? It couldn't be because you couldn't say no? It couldn't be that you couldn't stand up to peer pressure could it?
Are you going to continue to blame some invisible devil or demon for all the bad choices you make? Or are you going to start making better choices and take responsibility for them and/or your lack of self control?
Blaming the devil is like saying, "Santa Clause must have made me do it."
People fear the devil when in the same Book of Scriptures it also says this:
Is not God that is in us, greater than he/it/she that is in the world?
What about giving the 'devil' no place? Or resist the 'devil' and he will flee?
Resist temptations that get you into trouble in the first place. You have free will don't you?
Or what about I Am God so there is no devil or demon bad enough to come against me anyway?
Take authority over your self and you've beaten the devil at it's own game, so to speak.
Take thought - (meditate on this) - Know that you are a Sovereign Being of God. What has power over you? You do.
For even though there may be evil spirits or negative entities or energies in the supernatural, whose the Boss?
Say outloud: "I AM THAT I AM".
We have power over our 'enemies', because most of the time WE are our own worst enemy.
Make the temptations your footstool.
And so it is.
AMEN"

Ephesians 4:23-32 Be renewed in the spirit of your mind ...sin not ... let not the sun go down on your wrath ... be kind to one another ...God for Christ's sake, hath forgiven you.
23: And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
24: And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
25: Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
26: Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
27: Neither give place to the devil.
28: Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.
29: Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
30: And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
31: Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
32: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
