Matthew 5:37. “But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.”
Flip Wilson made fun of Christians by coining the term ‘the devil made me do it’. No he didn’t. Your old nature made you do it, and your responsible because you caved. Devil can’t make you do anything, Just say N.O. To blaming anyone else but yourself.
The famous ex-cristian singer/songwriter ‘Yuri’ sang a song about crushing Satan’s head. Now she’s totally backslid. Jesus kills Satan, not us. Say N.O. to Christian sings that aren’t Biblical. How is that praise and worship?
I heard a Pentecostal pastor screaming at Satan with a million words, then ended with ‘Praise Satan’. I am on he got tongue tied. Pastors. You get 30-45 minutes. Talk about Jesus not Satan or pastors or politicians you don’t agree with. Just say N.O. To the desire to spit poison from the pulpit.
The above verse says answers should be yes and no. Not a lot of hedge betting. No babbling or smooth talking. No mincing of words. A Christian should be able to just say yes and no, and because of their honesty that should be enough. The Bible says that sin is in many words. Say N.O. To blah blah blah.
Proverbs 10:9 In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise.
The best word for spiritual warfare is ‘no’, as I wrote last year. I now call it N.O. (New OIC ‘officer in charge’). The really interesting thing I am learning is it isn’t Satan we war against as much as our own old fleshly desire before we got saved. We are always at war within ourselves. Even Paul the Apostle.
Romans 7:19 for the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do
We live our lives getting programmed. As a young soldier, I saw sin, and I could hear my Drill Sgt barking order to go get it! PTL that I have New Orders now! New commanding officer!! New Obedience. I am only obedient to Jesus because He saved my soul, transformed my life and His Orders are always excellent.
Now I am saved. I have a new core. A new center. Christ is the center of my life and I am becoming more like Him daily. I am being confirmed into His image.To glory to glory. Old things have passed away, behold all things are new.
2 Cor 5:7 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
When my ‘old man nature’ wants to sin (encouraged by many years of worldly programming) I stop it by saying N.O.!! New OIC! Too many times we blame Satan (who doesn’t mind because He love free advertising). But we are usually just saying no to our old man. Our old man is dead, but his words and desires are still programmed and conditioned into our minds. Just say N.O.!
Romans 6:6. Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
If you live contrary to your core (Jesus) you are slowly killing yourself by living a lie. You become angry (number one cause of death of old men is anger). You get fearful (number one cause of sickness in old men is fear and worry). You body reacts. You have no peace. Jesus Is the Prince of Peace. Don’t deny Him. Say Yes to Him and His Excellent and easy to follow orders no to everything else, no matter how good it is, if it is not from GOD do not go there. Good is adding something to God. God alone is sufficient. More than enough.
Learn to say no!!! Even say no to good things, friends, family, religious things and even church some times. Last year one of my spiritual kids went home to be with Jesus. Young man. He got saved, (when I took him to them dump, he was a cabby, and was furious at me). When he go saved he was working around the clock. I begged him to slow down. He was a chafeur to every one. Lead AWANA. Did anything anyone asked him to do, at any time. He died at 4 am in his prayer closet. I know because his daughter called me at 4 am in mine. Saying no to holy looking things is just as imptortant as saying no to sin, overwork, lying, and bad thoughts. (You are saying no to your old self probably anyway, either for good or bad. Spiritual pride, doing stuff to show off, religiosity etc is just as sinful than adultery)
How do you say yes to Jesus and no to your old man? By praying. By talking to Jesus continuously (pray without ceasing) , talking about Him all the time. Letting yourself die and letting Jesus take over.
1 Cor 15:31 I die daily.
