HOSANNA IN THE HIGHEST

Matthew 21:9

and the multitude that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, "Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is He that cometh in the Name of the LORD! Hosanna in the highest!"

Hosanna, in the Vulgate translation, means "Save us, we beseech thee" (Ps. 118: 25; Mark 11: 9 and John 12:13). It has also come to mean a shout of praise. When you put the two together, you find what was in the mind of the people who welcomed JESUS into the Holy City of Jerusalem. They looked upon JESUS as Savior from the tyranny of oppression; they looked at JESUS as the King in the line of David the King - this is why they called Him the "Son of David". It was a shout of triumph and praise for the one whom they looked upon as their Savior.

The depth of their praise was on the surface, looking at the figure before them as their deliverer, a mighty force to bring down Roman rule.  They wanted to make JESUS King over the government and rule as mighty King, like David, their hero.

The depth of the praise of JESUS was in His connection to His Father; a connection of obedience, worship and humility. His life was praise to the Father. There are levels of praise: surface; soul, with its feelings; and spirit, exemplified by obedience,and worship. 

In the surface praise, people can be disappointed and walk away; in the soul, praise can be a struggle between feelings and will; in the Spirit, all of life is praise of GOD, no matter what the circumstances. We have a lot to learn from this, "the deeper we go into GOD the higher the praise". THINK ABOUT IT!!!!!

THE DEEPER THE RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD THE HIGHER THE PRAISE.

10 SCRIPTURES THE DEVIL HATES

Isaiah 14: 12

How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground. You who weakened the nations!

Ephesians 6:11

Put on the whole armor of GOD, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

THE TEN SCRIPTURES:

Luke 10: 19; Romans 8:1; Philippians 2: 9-11; I John 3:8;

James 4:7; Hebrews 4:12; John 8:32; John 16:13

and the Scriptures for today.

The devil has fallen! The Blood of JESUS overthrew him; the Father cast him out of heaven, he is dead.

Oh yes, satan has a future, it is eternal darkness, no light, no breath, no life, and no way out. He tries to convince people that he is able to kill, steal and destroy, but the truth is that he has killed and destroyed himself by his own evil.

When we put on the full armor of GOD, satan cannot penetrate the defenses of GOD, we are protected under the shelter of the Almighty. Every tactic of the warfare of satan is useless against it. The Blood of JESUS on the door posts and the lintel of our heart, guards our heart from all encroachments of the devil.

The devil was defeated at Calvary, by the Son of GOD, who loved the World so much that He gave himself a sacrifice unto His Father for the life of the World. 

STAND FIRM IN THE HOLY WORD OF GOD; STAND IN THE TRUTH, THE LIGHT AND LIFE OF JESUS CHRIST.

10 SCRIPTURES THE DEVIL HATES

John 8: 32

And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

John 16:13

However, when He, the Spirit of Truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.

JESUS was asked, "what is truth?" and you might be asking the same thing. TRUTH IS A PERSON; JESUS CHRIST THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE.

The devil hates these verses, because God's Word brings true freedom in contrast to the " freedom" which is of sin that leads to spiritual slavery.  Truth and freedom are only found in JESUS Christ and that is not for a limited time, it is for Eternity. Know JESUS, Who is truth and you will be free indeed, no matter what your circumstances in life.

The Spirit of Truth is the Holy Spirit sent by GOD to bring all things into remembrance, whatsoever JESUS has said. With the Holy Spirit in you, there is the witness as to what is truth and what is a lie. Satan hates this Scripture, because it uncovers his lies. GOD has the total authority to expose satan and show him for who he is: a cheat, liar, killer, thief, and destroyer. No good can come from the devil. 

ALL GOOD COMES FROM GOD; GOD IS GOOD

10 SCRIPTURES THE DEVIL HATES

James 4:7

Therefore, submit to GOD. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

Hebrews 4: 12

For the WORD of GOD is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and joint and marrow, and is the discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

The devil hates it when we submit to GOD. When we yield our members to obedience to GOD, the devil cannot touch us,we have all the power of GOD to resist the devil and drive him far from us. Many Christians appear powerless because they do no submit to GOD. Submission takes courage, to admit that you are powerless without GOD is a great leap of faith. When we submit to GOD, we can say in great confidence, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." 

JESUS resisted the devil with the Word of the LORD; know the Scripture and use it to resist the devil, he cannot stand against the power of the Word. The Word of GOD is a weapon that always hits its mark; it is living, sharp and a discerner. In Christ JESUS there is conviction of sin, but there is no condemnation; there is discernment of thought, word and deed, but there is no condemnation, just the opportunity to change.

USE THE WORD OF GOD TO RESIST THE DEVIL AND HE WILL FLEE FROM YOU.

P.S. This is just a little funny though from me: the devil is a flea, so send him fleeing - swat with the Sword.

10 SCRIPTURES THE DEVIL HATES

Philippians 2:9-11

Wherefore, GOD also hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a Name which is above every name, that at the Name of JESUS every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that JESUS Christ is LORD to the glory of GOD, the Father.

I John 3: 8

He that committeth sin is of the devil, for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of GOD was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.

Yesterday, we looked at the authority that is given to us by GOD to "tread on serpents and scorpions and over the power of the enemy". We saw that there is no condemnation to those who are in Christ JESUS, who walk in the Spirit not in the flesh.

Today we are going to confess the Scriptures about the authority that is given to us to proclaim the Name of JESUS and defeat the devil by declaring the Work of GOD. The devil hates the fact that JESUS willingly gave His life for humankind out of pure LOVE. The devil hates the fact that the Father highly exalted JESUS above all, giving Him the Name that puts the all things, including the devil and his angels, on their knees. The devil hates, that at the Name of JESUS, all the works of the devil are destroyed.

WE PROCLAIM THE ETERNAL VICTORY OF JESUS CHRIST, NOW AND FOREVER.

10 WORDS OF AUTHORITY

Luke 10:19

Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.  THE WORD OF JESUS.

Romans 8:1

There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ JESUS who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. THE WORD OF THE LORD.

In the next few days, I will be giving you Scripture that Satan hates. Speak these Scriptures aloud and with the authority that is given to you by JESUS. All Scripture is given by the inspiration of GOD and is profitable for reproof, correction and for the building up of the Body of Christ (II Timothy 3:16, 17). Satan hates Scripture, and hates it being spoken with the authority of GOD. SPEAK IT ALOUD and watch the enemy flee.

There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear for fear has torment. Do not fear to take authority in the name of JESUS. He has given it to you, so use it. There are many Christians that the enemy of our soul has intimidated with threats of hurt or harm, but JESUS said, nothing shall by any means hurt you; believe Him.

Satan hates the Word of Paul in Romans, because it liberates GOD's people from false self-condemnation.

When we walk in the Spirit of GOD there is only love and the understanding of self-worth; JESUS makes us worthy.

STAND IN THE AUTHORITY OF JESUS

THE SWORD; THE WORD OF GOD

Ephesians 6:17
And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of GOD.

The Word of GOD is a weapon against the forces of evil. The Word, spoken, pierces the enemy and defeats him with every word.  The devil can not stand against the Word of the LORD, he is driven back and driven out of our life.

The Word of GOD is sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, joint and marrow and is the discerner of the thoughts and the intense of the heart. The sword of the Spirit even examines the motives of the one speaking.  It finds the littlest place that the enemy hides and uncovers him.

The Sword of the Spirit is an offensive weapon and carries with it the power of GOD. 

SPEAK THE WORD AND THE ENEMY WILL TAKE FLIGHT
