The Accuser

Rev 12:10: And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

The word accuser means: “one who accuses before a judge”

WE GOT TO KNOW WHO THE REAL ACCUSER IS

Psalm 55:12-14: For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him: 13 But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance. 14 We took sweet counsel together and walked unto the house of God in company.

The devil works powerfully amongst people we familiar with (talk)
We got to be able to identify who the real enemy is

The Bible declares that our enemies are not flesh and blood as we suppose.

Eph 6:12: For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

• Churches destroyed,
• families destroyed,
• leaders destroyed
• We have got to know who is behind these accusations
SATAN IS THE ACCUSER OF THE BRETHREN

Example of the accusations: The Pastor didn’t speak to you today! He was aiming his whole sermon at you. Or, why didn’t the Smith family invite you to lunch? Maybe they don’t like you!
We have all experienced this type of attack in our minds.
2 Cor 10:5: Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
• We know the Battle of the Mind
• Get it under control.
• Rather than listening to the lies of the ACCUSER
• Before it controls our whole life

FORGIVE

Mark 11:25: And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses

HOW WE PRAY IN OUR PRAYER CLOSETS REFLECT OUR HEARTS:

THE PRAYER CLOSET IS SUPPOSE TO BE A HOLY PLACE

Matthew 6: 1-6: Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. 2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, they have their reward.3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, they have their reward. 6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
• Let the Lord wash away the bitterness and Hurt
• When we do it His Way

HOW WE ARE IN THIS HOLY PLACE OF PRAYER SHOWS WHO WE ARE SERVING

WE HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY AS BELIEVERS TO COVER ONE ANOTHER—NOT ACCUSE ONE ANOTHER.

OUR ROLE MODEL IS JESUS CHRIST:

Jesus Came to Save the World Not Condemn

John 3:17: For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

He is sending His Body into the World

John 20:21: Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.

Jesus can Help us Heal from Past Hurts and Disappointments

Psalms 147:3 “He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.
Psalms 73:26 My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
Isaiah 41:10 fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Give your heart to Jesus today by saying this prayer:

Dear Lord Jesus,
Thank you for dying on the cross for my sin. Please forgive me. Come into my life. I receive You as my Lord and Savior. Please, help me to live for you the rest of this life. Fill me with your Holy Spirit. In the name of Jesus, I pray.
Amen.

Pure In Heart

By Pastor Dennis Williams

THE MOST IMPORTANT “ATTITUDE” WHEN THE LORD IS TEACHING US ANYTHING IS TO HAVE A PURE HEART:
MATT 5:3-12 ARE OUR CHRISTIAN ATTITUDES
I WILL REFER TO ONE OF the BEATITUDES ON THE SERMON OF THE MOUNT
MATT 5: 8 BLESSED ARE THE PURE IN HEART: FOR THEY SHALL SEE GOD.

BE ABLE TO HEAR AND SEE THROUGH THE EYES OF GOD
1 Samuel 16:6-7: 6 And it came to pass, when they were come, that he looked on Eliab, and said, Surely the Lord’s anointed is before him .7 But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.
• The scales need to come off our eyes, heart, and mind
• This is part of our renewal process
• We cooperate with the Lord
• When the scales come off, we can see the truth

HAVE SPIRITUAL EARS
We get those through hearing the Word of God
Rom 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God.
• Hearing through spiritual ears
• There is something called spiritual deafness
• Can cause us not to have faith
• We can command spiritual deafness off our spiritual ears
Matt 11:15: He that hath ears to hear let him hear
• Hear what the Spirit is saying
• Not what we think we should hear
Matt 13:16: But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears for they hear
• When we see and hear the way God does,
• we will have a burden to intercede

The Body of Christ Needs Intercessors – The Lord is calling Intercessor He can trust and that have a Pure Heart.

Ezekiel 22:30 And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.

Intercession– is basically as Ezekiel 22:30 says – make up the hedge, and stand in the gap (DEFINITION FROM DICTIONARY

To expose oneself for the protection of something
To make a defense against an attacking danger
To take the place of a fallen defender or supporter

JESUS IS THE GREATEST INTERCESSOR – HE IS OUR EXAMPLE TO FOLLOW
Hebrews 1:3” Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high
Romans 8:34: Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.”
HE INTERCEDED FOR –STOOD IN THE GAP FOR ALL OF MANKIND
Isaiah 53:12: Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
• His death was not an accident
• Jesus willingly came
• “pour out his soul unto death.”
• Most important: made intercession for the transgressors
• Transgressors: The criminal, delinquent, felon, evildoer, reprobate

THIS IS WHERE WE NEED THAT CHANGE OF HEART

“Bare the sin of many” and made intercession for the transgressors. (people that everyone hates and judges)

He saw things that way his Father saw them
That’s how we have to be

LIVE FOR JESUS AND SEEK TO HAVE A PURE HEART

MATT 5: 8 BLESSED ARE THE PURE IN HEART: FOR THEY SHALL SEE GOD.

Give your heart to Jesus today by saying this prayer:
Dear Lord Jesus,
Thank you for dying on the cross for my sin. Please forgive me. Come into my life. I receive You as my Lord and Savior. Please, help me to live for you the rest of this life. Fill me with your Holy Spirit. In the name of Jesus, I pray.
Amen.

Life’s Bitter Battles

By Pastor Dennis Williams

1 Samuel 17:47: And all this assembly shall know that the Lord saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the Lord’s, and he will give you into our hands.

Romans 8:37: Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
Ephesians 2:10 – For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
1 John 4:13: Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
• No matter how significant we think we are
• Conquer through Him
• Because we are In Him
• And He is in us

THE BATTLE BELONGS TO THE LORD BY HIS SPIRIT

Zechariah 4:6 Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the Word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by Power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.
• Personality and Charisma is not going to get (will make you think it is God)
• Physical strength and Power
• We need the eyes of the Lord
We see situations going on in the Natural realms but react Spiritually
• Train your spirit man
• It is a training ground have the eyes and ear of the Lord
• Do what we learn

The Well Known Battle between David and Goliath

DAVID WAS READY TO STAND IN THE BATTLE WHEN EVERYONE WAS IN FEAR
• Fear quenches faith
• Makes us confess the problem continually
Before this Battle with a Giant called Goliath
Even the King of Israel Saul was in fear 1 Samuel 17: 11 and vs. 24)
But David stepped up to the Battle
• In your family circle
• Someone has to step up to the Battle
• And Fight the Giants

1 Samuel 17:33-37 ( David had testimonies)
Vs.33 And Saul said to David, Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him: for thou art but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.
Vs. 34: David said he defended the flock of sheep from a lion and a Bear
Vs. 35: David delivered the animal from the Lion’s mouth and said when he arose up against me I caught him by the beard and smote him and slew him
Vs. 36: David said Goliath shall be as one of them seeing he has defied the armies of the Living God
Then in Vs. 37 – David went on to say from where His help came from:

1 Samuel 17:50: So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him, but there was no sword in the hand of David.
• Vs. 51 –He took Goliath’s own sword and cut the Giants head off
The Bible says and take the Sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God

Fiery Trials

By Pastor Dennis Williams

Jesus said for us to be perfect

• This was a commandment from the Lord
• We certainly cannot do this on our own
• Not by our strength or brainpower
• But by God’s grace, we can do all things.
Philippians 4:13: I can do all things through Christ, which strengtheneth me.
Ephesians 3:16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
• Our strength comes from God’s grace
BY GOD’S FREE GRACE
Everything that God requires us to do in the New Testament is by the grace of God
• This grace is made available through Jesus Christ
• Grace begins where human effort ends
• When we do things in our strength
o Our righteousness
o Our wisdom
o We don’t need Gods grace
• When we come to the end of the best we can do, we come to the beginning of God’s grace
God says: “My grace is sufficient.”
2 Corinthians 12:9: And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly, therefore, will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
• Do we believe that the grace of God is sufficient for us
• When we are weak He is made strong
• We can become more Christlike through His Grace and strength
• “That the power of Christ may rest upon us”

TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS CAN DRIVE US AWAY OR CLOSER TO THE LORD ALL ABOUT CHRISTIAN CHARACTER

Romans 5:1-4: Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
• Justification (spoken in verse one) is not an escape from the trials of this life
• Jesus said in John 16:33: In this world ye shall have tribulation
• But for believer trials work for us and not against us
• No amount of suffering can separate us from the Lord:
o Romans 8:35-39
• Instead fiery trials bring us closer to the Lord
o Make us more like the Lord
• Romans 5:4: the word “experience” is used
• This means character that has been proved
• The flow is this: tribulation-patience-proven character and hope
As we go through tribulations and depend on God’s grace
• The trials only purify us and help to get rid of the chaff
Fiery Trials:
1 Peter 4:12-13: Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
Paul and Silas in Imprisonment:
Acts 16:23: And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely:
Acts 16:25: And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.
THE LOVE OF GOD IS SHED ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS
Romans 5:5: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
• The total love of God is poured into our hearts
• When you become born again, the Bible says the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit come and live inside of you.

THE PURPOSE WE ARE TRYING ACHIEVE IS CHRISTLIKENESS
CHARACTER TRAITS OF CHRISTLIKENESS:
BOLD:
Pr 28:1: The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.
CONTRITE feeling or expressing remorse or penitence; affected by guilt
Isa 57:15: For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
Isa 66:2 For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the Lord: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.
GODLY
Ps 4:3 But know that the Lord hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the Lord will hear when I call unto him.
2 Peter 2:9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:
HUMBLE
Ps 34:2 My soul shall make her boast in the Lord: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.
1 Peter 5:5 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.

Dear Father in heaven, I recognize that I cannot be perfect in my
strength. Pour out Your love and grace in my heart in such a way that
I may walk with You in obedience. I want to learn obedience as Jesus
did, and I commit myself to study Your Word and obey it, loving You
and learning to love others by what You teach me from Your Word.
Thank you in advance for helping me to take this step. In Jesus’
name. Amen.

Give your heart to Jesus today by saying this prayer:
Dear Lord Jesus,
Thank you for dying on the cross for my sin. Please forgive me. Come into my life. I receive You as my Lord and Savior. Please, help me to live for you the rest of this life. Fill me with your Holy Spirit. In the name of Jesus, I pray.
Amen.
