Why was Eve so easily “Deceived” by the serpent? He was skilled in lies and manipulation, well able to use her lack of self-control and her prideful hunger for power. 

 There’s a constant battle within us and surrounding us while the enemy continues to deceive with the intent to steal, kill, and to destroy (John 10:10). But we know the end of that story, Jesus has already overcome (John 16:33). When we give our struggles and temptations to God, He fights our battles.

Here we explore the life of Samson, the final Judge of Israel (Judges 16) who loved Delilah. But she was a “Bad Influence” on him and instrumental in his downfall. 

 Delilah was not an Israelite; her culture worshiped idols. She was bribed by the Lords of Philistines to learn the secret of Samson’s strength. She was the ultimate manipulator, constantly finding ways to tempt Samson to lose his self-control. This is a cautionary tale - how many of us can relate to the bad influence of some people within our circle of friendships?

Martha and Mary (Luke 10) were good friends of Jesus and he often visited them when in their area. While both women loved Jesus, Martha allowed herself to be distracted in service while Mary’s “Priority” was to worship Jesus.

 It appears that while serving the Lord is good, distractions and busyness can easily take away from the better thing, praise and worship.

Achsah, the beautiful daughter of Caleb, gives us an example to follow: “Ask, Believe, Receive” (episode links below).  

 Achsah had been given a nice marital dowry from her father, but the land lacked water. Without water access, the usefulness and value of the land would fail. Should she ask for more? She asked and received even beyond what she needed. 

 Our Heavenly Father is good. He loves us more than we can understand, and He waits for us to ask. Believing, we can receive.

In Joshua 2 we learn about the “Braveheart” of Rahab (episode links below).  

 Two spies were sent by Joshua to survey Jericho before the Israelites would take the land. Rahab the harlot risked her life to hide these spies, saving their lives. She chose to be brave instead of faint-hearted when the time came to step up. Because of her courage and faith, she and her entire family were saved. Rahab received honorable mention years later in Hebrews.

In this episode we look at the difference between “Conviction” from the Lord and condemnation from the enemy. 

 When we return kindness for evil, we heap coals upon their head (Proverbs). Does that mean that in our kindness, it brings our enemy conviction, an opportunity for change? Is conviction a gift that leads each of us toward redemption or rededication?

Who will “Guard your Peace?” Are there steps to take? The Apostle Paul gives us guidance in Philippians 4:6-7. 

When circumstances/ situations tempt us to be discouraged, fearful, or anxious, we can decide to trust in Him. Can we look at what He has already done for us? When we focus on the Lord instead of our problems, we can experience peace. He guards our peace.

I have been in such danger that I felt I had to admit, I only escaped because the Lord was “Watching over Me.” Can you resonate with that? Let’s study God’s promise to protect us in Psalm 121 and Psalm 34.  

 Here, I candidly share an incident of when the Lord rescued me. Details of God’s amazing deliverance can be found in my book, “A New Song Rises Up!”

When we are “Searching for God” we will find Him. We study God’s promises in a series beginning today with Deuteronomy 4. 

Jesus emphasized this promise in Matthew 7, encouraging us all to ask and seek. 
Do you believe that when you earnestly seek the Lord, you will find Him?
