As we grow nearer to the end of this world and the coming of Jesus, the fierceness of devils working in people will grow stronger.
Revelation 12:12 ... Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
(Thus the violence that we are seeing today when men with guns go into businesses and churches and shoot people without cause. When things are irrational, look for devils.)
We, who belong to God, need to be aware of this.
Hebrews 10:25 ... exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
And as we meditate in the scriptures, let us be certain to do the instructions given in the scriptures.
James 1:21-22 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. 22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
Certainly we trust God to keep us by HIS Spirit. But we also strengthen ourselves in things of God by meditating in the Word of God, the Holy Scriptures.
Here are scriptures from yesterday's blog and podcast.
As I read these, I feel calmer and more settled in things of God. And I find collecting the scriptures from the daily blog and podcast and reading them from time to time helps to work these truths through my own life.

(We resist the ideas brought by the devil as we cling to the Word of God, following the Holy Spirit of God.)
6 That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of HIS promise in Christ by the gospel:
7 Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of HIS power.
2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
9 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.
2 Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
3 For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.

Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are
written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
1 And the LORD said unto Joshua, Fear
not, neither be thou dismayed: take all the people of war with thee,
and arise, go up to Ai: see, I have given into thy hand the king of Ai,
and his people, and his city, and his land:
2 And thou shalt do to Ai and her king as thou didst unto Jericho and her king: only the spoil thereof, and the cattle thereof, shall ye take for a prey unto yourselves: lay thee an ambush for the city behind it.

10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.

be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us
with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According as HE hath chosen us in HIM before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before HIM in love:
4-5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of HIS will,
6 To the praise of the glory of HIS grace, wherein HE hath made us accepted in the beloved.
7 In Whom we have redemption through HIS blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of HIS grace;
8-9 Wherein HE hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; Having made known unto us the mystery of HIS will, according to HIS good pleasure which HE hath purposed in HIMSELF:
10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times HE might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in HIM:

of HIS own will: That we should be to the praise of HIS glory, who
first trusted in Christ.

6 If a man abide not in ME, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
