Put Your “But” in the Devil’s Face

Has anyone ever said this to you, ” I know the Bible says that…. but that won’t work for me .” I’m amazed how many people believe the word is true ” but” for some reason it isn’t true for them personally. This ” but ” is the devils’ “but” and he sticks it right in your face to blind you to the blessing, the promises, the truth and victory in God’s word. He knows if you can see it, you can possess it and put him under your feet where he belongs! The worlds’ way of thinking says, “Seeing is believing”, but faith says, “Believing is seeing.” Proverbs 29:18 says, “Where there is no vision, the people perish.” The Amplified Bible says, “Where there is no redemptive revelation of God, the people perish.” The enemy uses pressure in this world system to block your vision.” “I know the Bible says that ” but ” I don’t have a job”, ” I don’t have a car”, “I don’t have an education”, “I have a jail record.” “It’s too late for me to try faith, I’m too old.” Now these things may be actual facts, but there is only one TRUTH and the truth you know will make you free. You can’t change the truth “BUT” the Truth will change every fact in your life!! I’m not going to tell you to ” get your butt in there and read the Bible.” I’m saying to get in the Bible and find YOUR “BUT!” Matthew 14:15 tells of Jesus seeing a great multitude and being moved with compassion, He healed their sick. And when it was evening, his disciples came to him saying, ” This a desert place, and the time is past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves food” :16- “BUT” Jesus said unto them, “They need not depart; you give them something to eat” :17- And they say unto him, ” We have here “BUT” five loaves and two fishes.” :18- “He said, ‘Bring them here to me’. Jesus blessed it and gave it to His disciples. Thousands were fed with much left over.” You see, whatever circumstances you may find yourself in, Jesus said “BUT” “there’s no need to depart from faith, from God’s word, from the the Kingdom to find the answer. If you have a seed you can meet your need, if you use your faith you will have the victory, if you stand on the word of God you won’t be defeated!! It may be like a “desert” to you now, dry and barren, it may seem like “the time is past”, it’s too late for you to start over, “BUT” Jesus said bring it to Him, “I’ll bless it and increase it.” “BUT” I only have a few fish and a little bread, “Thats OK, just give me something to work with, something as a seed of faith!” We don’t have to go elsewhere, to lie, to go deep into debt, to compromise our integrity and principles because we don’t see another way. Find “YOUR” “BUT” and stick it right in Satan’s face!!

Paul worked this revelation of faith in 1 Cor. 15:9,10. He said I am the least of all the Apostles, because I persecuted the church; “BUT” by the GRACE of God I am what I am, and His grace which was bestowed on me was not in vain; “BUT” I laboured more than they all; yet not I, “BUT” the grace of God which was with me!! He said, “Yes, I did mess up bad and yes, I was a lowlife “BUT” by the grace of God I am what I am now, BLESSED, WELL-BELOVED, CHOSEN, FORGIVEN!!! Rise up in faith and tell the devil Eph. 2:4 , “I may have a history of failure “BUT” God who is rich in mercy; for His great love, wherewith He loved ME, even when I was dead in sin, has quickened me together with Jesus, ( by grace am I saved); And has raised me up and made me to sit with Him in Heavenly places!!!!!
