The Mercy of God

As children of God, we have the authority to bind and to loose. Jesus, having been given all authority in heaven and on earth, has allowed us as His Children to be a ble to have authority over Satan who has bee ndefeated. We can order spirits to leave us. But certain things like unforgiveness, unconfessed sins, unrighteous situations, e.g. promises unkept, pride, sexual sins undelt with, soul ties ( e.g  if someone molested you, thats a bad thing!), being involved withthe occult, idolatry and other situations which can allow open doors  for the enemy, through which the devil has  legal rights, i to enter into your life,  and  do as he pleases, which is, quite frankly,  a bad thing. "In your anger do not sin, do not give the devil a foot hold." "He who commits adultery has no understanding"- it opens a door to the devil. God listed a whole deal of curses, which were caused by disobediance, in Deuteronomy 27 . When we do certain things, we get curses. (That was however, under the Mosaic law which was put in place for a time ( "a school teacher" as it termed in the New Testament), until the coming of Christ  However at the same time, which must not expect that if we commit abominations  in the sight of God, everything will be perfectly alright after we ask for forgiveness. We will be forgiven, but sometimes we need more than that. "Create in me a pure heart O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me." Psalm 51 : 10  . There was obviously something abit more than just God forgive me. "Restore unto me the joy of salvation, and grant me a willing spiriti to sustain me." verse twelve. sometimes I think we need to ask for more than just forgiveness, and cleansing with the blood of Jesus. But in any case what I'm trying to bring out here , is that sin is a problem, a BIG  problem. I mean, the fact that Jesus hasd to DIE  on THE CROSS should really tell us something. "Without shedding of blood, there can be no remission of sin"   But notice, that Jesus was appointed to die ONCE,   NOT twice, or three times. wHEN hE DIED it meant something for the entire universe. Heaven and Hell were both shaken by it. It was not just some prophet being  crucified and buried. It was the very Son of God, who was there since the beginning of time. And that is a lot of love. He is not a figment of our imagination but He is an eternal Saviour. But notice that we have the STRONG and ETERNAL  authority, WEAPONS OF WAREFARe which are MIGHTY  for TEARING DOWN strongholds, PRINCIPALITIES  and  POWERS, WE HAVE AUTHORITY OVER THE THINGS OF  DARKNESS.  But please, we cannot be walking in darkness, and cast out darkness as well! How can Satan cast out Satan ! it just won't work. But don't be deceived though, God is ALL POWERFUL,  He has REDEEMED US, and WE ARE FOREVER REDEEMED.  Thanks for listening . God bless.
