FIGHT THE BATTLE, HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST
I PRAY PEACE & GRACE IS ABUNDANTLY YOURS THROUGH GOD OUR FATHER & JESUS CHRIST OUR KING & SAVIOR.
The devil & his gang of demons work at tearing us down through many avenues: fear of not being good enough, not
having enough, not being smart enough….on & on & on. All lies! Jesus told the Pharisees in John 8, Why is my
language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say. You belong to your father, the devil, & you
want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is
no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar & the father of lies.
When people don’t have Jesus, it is easy for them to buy into the devil’s lies & they can become depressed.
Depression is the devil’s way of keeping people down. It is very easy for people to lose hope, not to want to do
anything, to be lost inside themselves, not sharing life or looking for a positive future in that state of mind. When
you let Jesus take control He can help you overcome the depression & start a new life of reliance on Him & receive
the blessings of strength & faith found only in God. You will be able to glorify God Who has brought you through
the valleys of darkness in all things. It takes dedication & commitment to study of God’s word to renew our minds.
Do not be discouraged. God gave us spiritual armor described in Ephesians 6, to protect ourselves from the
influences of the evil one. The stronger your faith & reliance on Jesus, the stronger the armor!
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having
done all, to stand. (Jesus stood against the devil and won)
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girted about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
(Jesus did not lie, He was the truth and He provided the righteousness)
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; (Jesus brought the good news and spread the
word that gave all of us a chance of eternal life)
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
(Jesus faith in His Father never failed Him. He defeated the devil)
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
Jesus provided the salvation, the Holy Spirit provided the sword of the word through mortal men, and we
must remember according to John 1: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word
was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him; and without Him was not
anything made that was made. In Him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shown in darkness;
and the darkness comprehended it not.
God keep you and bless you all. Mary Bowden
Medly: I’LL FLY AWAY, I SAW THE LIGHT, DO LORD Everyone sings
Some glad morning when this life is o’er, I’ll fly away. To a home on God’s celestial shore, I’ll fly away. I’ll fly away O glory,
I’ll fly away. When I die hallelujah by & by, I’ll fly away. Just a few more weary days & then, I’ll fly away. To a land where
joys shall never end, I’ll fly away. C. I wandered so aimless life filled with sin I wouldn’t let my dear Savior in. then Jesus
came like a stranger in the night. Praise the Lord, I saw the light. I saw the light, I saw the light. No more darkness, no
more night. Now I’m so happy, no sorrow in sight. Praise the Lord, I saw the light. Jut like a blind man I wandered along
worries 7 fears I claimed for y own. Then like the blind man that God gave back his sight. Praise the Lord I saw the light. C.
I’ve got a home in gloryland that out shines the sun. I’ve got a home in gloryland that out shines the sun. I’ve got a home in
gloryland that out shines the sun, Look away beyond the blue. Do Lord, o do Lord, o do remember me. Do Lord,. O do
Lord, o do remember me. Do Lord, o do Lord, o do remember me, way beyond the blue. I took Jesus for my savior you
take Him too. I took Jesus for my savior you take Him too. I took Jesus for my savior you take him too, look away beyond
the blue. C.
JESUS ON THE MAINLINE Debbie sings
Jesus on the mainline tell Him what you want. Jesus on the mainline tell Him what you want. Jesus on the mainline, tell
Him what you want. You can call Him up & tell Him what you want. You can call Him up, call Him up & tell Him what you
want. X2, Go on call Him up & tell him what you want. If you’re sick & ya wanna get well, tell Him what you want. X 2, Go
on call Him up & tell Him what you want. C. His line ain’t every busy, tell Him what you want. X2, Go on call Him up & tell
him what you want. C.
I CAN REJOICE Adam sings
Just take a look around & see what a mess this world is in for you & me. Oh, you may think the times are bad there’s a
reason I’m not crying, there’s a reason I’m not sad. I can rejoice, I can rejoice. When I’m feeling down I still can lift my
voice. When the skies begin to rain I won’t complain I have a choice. For I have Jesus in my heart I can rejoice. Gonna
live by faith, not by sight. Gonna leave the darkness & start living in the light. Gonna trust His word, gonna watch & pray.
All the worry in my heart can’t change the outcome anyway. C. Leave this world behind & I won’t worry anymore. I’ll leave
this world behind & I won’t worry anymore. I’ll leave this world behind & I won’t worry anymore. I have Jesus in my heart I
can rejoice. Oh, a hundred years from now, it won’t matter anyhow. A hundred years from now it won’t matter anyhow. A
hundred years from now, it won’t matter anyhow. I have Jesus in my heart I can rejoice. C. I can rejoice, I can rejoice.
When I’m feeling down I still can lift my voice. When the skies begin to rain I won’t complain I have a choice for I have
Jesus in my heart I can rejoice. Oh what singing oh what shouting. I have Jesus in my heart I can rejoice.
VICTORY IN JESUS Bobby sings
I heard an old, old story how a Savior came from glory how He gave His life on Calvary to save a wretch like me. I heard
about His groaning of His precious blood’s atoning then I repented of my sins & won the victory.
O, victory in Jesus, my Savior forever. He sought me & bought me with His redeeming blood. He loved me ‘ere I knew
Him & all my love is due Him. He plunged me to victory beneath the cleansing flood.
I heard about a mansion He has built for me in glory. & I heard about the streets of gold beyond the Crystal Sea. About the
angels singing & the old redemption story & some sweet day I’ll sing up there the song of victory. C.
WALKING DOWN THE ROAD Mary sings
When Jesus went to the wilderness to let the devil have his say even after 40 days & nights not worship would He pay.
Now 3 times satan tempted Him, he tried to be so slick. Then the Son of God spoke Holy words & the devil cut out real
quick. He went awalking down the road, he went awalking down the road. Walking down the road & he never looked
back again. He went awalking down the road, he went awalking down the road. Walking down the road & he never
looked back again. When Jesus saw a crippled man lying on his bed, because this man had friends of faith He leaned over
to him and said, “Now stand up son be of good cheer because I forgive your sins.” Then the man stood up on brand new
legs, grabbed up his bed & then. C. Now if your cares are worldly & the devil hangs around, but you want to fight
temptation let me tell you what I’ve found. You need to know the Savior, get on your knees my friend. Just turn you back
on the sin in your life, stand up, trust God & then. You go….C
