~ Outsmarting the devil ~

The devil has been Tricking people for Thousands of years with Lies & Deception to turn people Away from God.

Since the first ever Humans stepped foot on earth, the devil has been Tricking them. It started with Adam & Eve. They where the Purest people that have ever existed. They knew No evil, until the devil Tricked Eve into eating from the 'Tree of the knowledge of Good and evil' (the Only Tree that God asked them Not to eat from).

Ever since then the devil has been Tricking people into going Against God's Loving Guidance, and to Disobey our own Creator ~ God.

The devil has now had Thousands of years of Experience of 'How' to Trick people. He has practiced on Billions & Billions of people over the years and he knows what works and what doesn't. He has fine tuned his Tactics.

The devil has been Allowed to take 'evilness' to such a level that it now goes Unnoticed by the Majority of people in society. People are now Living in Ways that God 'Never' Intended for us to Live. 
Even people who want to Follow God are being Tricked by the devil through 'Wrong' Ways of Living that have got into society 'Undetected'.

Some people are trying to fight back against evil, but unfortunately they're 'Leaving God Out' and trying to solve the problems on their 'Own Understanding'.  It's simply Not working.

The problem is that 'Every' Human being has only been on earth for a Fraction of the time that the devil has been around. He has far More Experience, and he knows how to Trick people.

There is Only 'One' person who has been around as long as the devil.

His name is Jesus Christ.

No other person in History has as much Experience & Knowledge as Jesus.
He knows 'Every' Trick the devil has ever used. He knows 'Every' Lie & Deception that the devil has ever told.

The devil 'Tried' to Trick Jesus when He was in the wilderness for 40 days, but Jesus didn't Fall for it, He saw Straight through the devils Trickery.

It's Time for us All to 'Outsmart' the devil and Stop his evilness from spreading around the world any longer.

The 'Only' way we can do that is by 'Teaming Up' with the One person who has Never been Tricked by the devil ~ that is 'Jesus Christ'.

If You want to make a Positive Difference in the world and Outsmart the devil, then say this short Prayer with a Sincere Heart, and then Follow it through with Action.

“Lord Jesus, I don't want to be Tricked by the devil Ever again,
and I want to Help other people Not be Tricked either.

I want to Outsmart the devil.

I don't have the Experience or Knowledge of How to do it, but
' You Do'.
Jesus You were there at the Beginning.
You have Seen & Heard Everything.
Only You have the answers.
Lord I Choose to 'Team Up' with You to Outsmart the devil.
Together we Can Do It. 
Amen”. 

~ Wobbly World or Solid Support ~

I was watching some pigeons flying around and one landed on a telegraph wire. It's little feet Clung to the Wire as it tried to get its balance, wobbling forwards and backwards.

As it Wobbled forward it flicked its tale up to counter balance, and as it Wobbled backwards it stuck its head up to compensate for the Wobble.

This went on for quite a Long Time. There was a few brief moments when it looked like it had settled, but then a slight gust of wind set it off again.

Every so often it flapped its wings in a Frantic attempt to steady itself, whilst all the time Clinging to the Wire in the Hope that it would Support it.

As the pigeon Wobbled, the Wire Wobbled with it, and it made it Worse for the pigeon trying to get its balance.

A few feet away from the pigeon was a Solid telegraph pole. The pigeon was Wasting a Huge amount of Energy, Effort & Time trying to get its balance on an Unstable Wire, yet there was a Solid Place to Stand right next to it.

After quite a Long Time of Wobbling on the Wire, the pigeon came to its Senses and 'Let Go' of the Wire. It gave a few small flaps of its wings, 
Rose Above the Wire and landed Safely on the Solid Pole.

It Immediately got its balance and Calmly settled down. It looked Relaxed & at Peace, as though it Instinctively knew it was now in the Right Place.

As I watched all this happen, I reflected on how my Life used to be Wobbly before I started my 'Journey with Jesus'.

I used to Cling to 'Worldly Ways' of Living and I Wasted a Big part of my Life trying to Compensate for the 'Imbalance' of the 'Worlds Way' to Live Life.

I Wasted Huge amounts of Energy, Effort & Time trying to 'Please People' and 'Fit In' with society, yet just like the pigeon I was Clinging to the Wrong Thing.

I 'Thought' that the 'Worlds Way' of Living would give me Security, Safety, Peace & Joy. But as I 'Wobbled' the World 'Wobbled' with me. 
There was No Stability in the 'Worlds Way'.

Yet All the time I was Clinging to a 'Wobbly World', the Solid Love of Jesus  was right Next to me.

Just like the pigeon Needed to 'Let Go' of the 'Wobbly Wire', I Needed to 'Let Go' of the 'Wobbly Ways' of the world.

I came to my Senses and 'Let Go' of the world and now I feel Relaxed and at Peace. I Instinctively know I'm now in the Right Place 
~ With Jesus, where I Should have been all along.

If Your Life feels Wobbly, 
then its time to 'Let Go' of 'Worldly Ways of Living', 
it's Not where You're Supposed to Be.

The Solid Love of Jesus is 'Right Next to You'.

~ Bloom ~

(This Writing is based on a short Inspirational Talk that 
my Lovely Wife gave in 2018. Hope you Enjoy it).

We often buy plants that have been reduced in price by the shops because they don't 'Meet Up to The Shops Standards'.

When we first get them they're usually a bit droopy, in need of a Good Water and maybe a bit of pruning, but with just a little bit of Love and Affection they Bloom Beautifully.

We bought 2 'Cyclamen Plants' that had been reduced to 20p each because they looked like they were dying. 
That was about 7 years ago and they are Still Growing Strong. Their Leaves Inspire us with their Beautiful Patterns, and each year they Bloom with Lovely Flowers.

Someone had reduced the 'Value' of these Beautiful plants when there's nothing actually wrong with them, it's just that they don't meet with 'Peoples Expectations' of what plants should look like.

This is the same in our Lives. 
People put our 'Value' down just because we don't meet up to 
'Their Expectations'. 

Well, people might put our Value down and try to make us feel worthless,
but the Truth is, in God's eyes we are 'Priceless'. 

When we simply Accept Gods Wonderful Love and Care 
then We too Can Bloom.

~ Growing Happily & Peacefully Together ~

I'm often 'Inspired by Nature' in many Wonderful ways, especially in the Beautiful Highlands of Scotland.

One of the Inspirations was whilst walking around a Peaceful Forest. 

I noticed Tall Trees that were 'Well Established' and had probably been there for Hundreds of years.

Next to them were 'Younger Trees', and they were Happily Growing with the 'Well Established Trees'.         

There were Many Different Varieties of Trees including Pines, Beech, Spruces, Larch, Yew Trees & many others, all Growing Happily & Peacefully Together.

Every Tree was Different in it's own Unique way, yet they were all Growing Together to Create a 'Beautiful and Peaceful' environment.

There was no arguments about who's been there longer, no jealousy between Trees wanting to be like other Trees, no fighting over who's got the best position in the forest, there was no stealing each others soil, no childish name calling and no lies & manipulation.

All the Trees were living in 'Harmony' with each other.

Every Individual Tree was simply 'Being' what God Created it to 'Be'. 
And because of that, the Forest became a Beautiful, Peaceful and Inspiring place to be.

It's no wonder that Wildlife choose to live in the Forests.

The Trees were living Happily and Peacefully Together, and that's how God Created 'people' to be as well. 

If we all just 'Be' who God Created us to 'Be', then we can all live in Peace and Harmony with each other. 

God Created us All to 'Be' in the 'Image of God'.

There's no Greater Harmony than that.

When we put our Faith in God (and Only God) we can all be like a Beautiful Forest, Growing Happily & Peacefully Together.         

We can Create a Welcoming & Inspiring 'Forest of Faith', just like the Trees. 

When we all simply Live our Lives how God 'Intended' us to live, 
then people will say:

It's no wonder that people choose to Live In 
'The Forest of Faith'

 Live 'Like a Tree' and Help to Create      
   Gods Forest of Faith.
