"Zero tolerance" is a catch word in our world these days - we find it in our schools, our places of work, our government - wherever you look, sometimes to the point of the ridiculous! Nevertheless, we admit that terror is a real threat and we do have an enemy who sneaks around securities and lurks around corners of our round world (figure that one out!), seeking to destroy the good, to proclaim the evil, and to scare us to death!
Now, if you know Peggie well enough, you know that she is a first-class "worry-wart" - if there's nothing to worry about, she'll manufacture something! She had a first-class Pentecostal Christian mom, who reminded her of God's Word.
This writer has that verse ingrained in her brain and as it came back once again to her, the light My Mom's wisdom from God's Word came back to me - why, that is ZERO TOLERANCE - not by a government, school or establishment that it might keep us safe - but by God Himself and against the terrorist of all time, the devil himself.
GOD'S WORD: ZERO TOLERANCE FOR BODY-BASHING
There's a devil out there - and he seeks to terrorize you over every inch of your body--if you let him. Why, you may be on the verge of cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer's, a heart attack, a stroke, or perhaps even a disease not yet invented or prevented. You are terminal; your body is aging; it won't be long 'til you're out to pasture--in a nursing home, in a mental facility, in a box six feet under.
Devil, God exercises zero tolerance over your attack on His child. "Perfect love casteth out fear" so begone, in Jesus' Name!
GOD'S WORD: ZERO TOLERANCE FOR SOUL-DASHING
There's a devil out there - and he's wants to attack your mind and soul, to dash your hopes and dreams until you are emotionally paralyzed with fear and apprehension. He will attack your mind with imaginations and fearful anticipations; he will dash your spirit until there's no spirit left--if you let him.
Devil, God exercises zero tolerance over your attack on His Child. "Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why are thou disquieted within me? Hope in God; for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God (Psalm 43:5 KJV)" - heal that, devil, and begone, in Jesus' Name!
GOD'S WORD: ZERO TOLERANCE FOR SPIRIT-CRASHING
There's a devil out there - and he's out to dash and crash your spirit with disappointment, discouragement, dismay and more--if you let him. He'll put you down, then pound you down, with a hammer that takes perfect aim at your insecurities, sensitivities and inabilities until you crumble in despair under his evil eye.
Devil, God exercises zero tolerance over your attack on His Child. "For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father (Romans 8:15 KJV)." Hear that, devil, and begone in Jesus' Name!
Someday, God's zero tolerance will reach its ultimate limit and you will be cast down forever, never again to attack the body, soul and spirit of His children. Take that devil...I plan to have a great day!
Mama in heaven, take note!!
Scripture: "Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God (Philippians 4:6 KJV)."
Prayer: "Lord, I am sick and tired of living in the atmosphere of anxiety - body, soul and spirit - and I claim victory through the Cross and through Your Word, In Jesus' Name, Amen."
