Let's Talk


Day 115
Who has been having conversations with you? Whom have you been listening to? Are you sure? God knows every conversation you have, and He knows every word that is spoken to you and the source behind it. Do you?

The Lord knew the discussion that Eve had with the devil in Eden. He hears every conversation we are engaged in. Close your ears to the voice of the enemy, and cut him off with the word of God, like Jesus does (See Luke chapter 4).

When your mind is speaking, or when another person is speaking, does it line up with the word of God? Check it out. Don't be passive about it.

If you desire in your heart to do something, and you know it pleases the Lord, a voice of discouragement may say that you can't do it. But the voice of your Lord says that you can do all things through Christ, who strengthens you. Which conversation will you be engaged in?

But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent's cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ. -- 2 Corinthians 11:3

No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it. -- 1 Corinthians 10:13

For since He Himself was tempted in that which He has suffered, He is able to come to the aid of those who are tempted. -- Hebrews 2:18

I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength. -- Philippians 4:12-13
