Demolition

TOPIC: Partners

SCRIPTURE: "The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil." (I John 3:8)

OBSERVATION: Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil!
Did Jesus destroy the works of the devil?
Yes
&
No

APPLICATION: The "no" is where we come into the picture.
Since the works of the devil continue to this day then that can only mean that we are suppose to be about our Father's Business and partner with Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit to destroy the works of the devil.
My Life Verse fits with this idea
it's found in Proverbs 21:22 which reads,
"A wise man scales the city of the mighty and brings down the strongholds in which they trust."
So
How do we destroy the works of the devil?
Through ~~~
LOVE
JOEY (Just kidding)
JOY
PEACE
PATIENCE
KINDNESS
GOODNESS
FAITHFULNESS
GENTLENESS
SELF-CONTROL
HUMILITY
FORGIVENESS
TRUTHFULNESS
REPENTANCE
This list could go on and on...
BUT I think that is a good start
So let's get the demolition under way
PRAYER: Father God, you know I love destroying the old and replacing it with something new. Thank you for allowing me to be part of something I love.
