Jimmy DeYoung
Thank you for reading my Prophetic Daily Devotionals! 



And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

For further study - Genesis 3:1-19

The extended reading for today's devotional is the account of the "fall of Man". Some time after the sixth day of Creation the Angel Lucifer exercised his freewill and rebelled against God. During the time between Genesis 1:31 and Genesis 3:1 part of our extended devotional reading for today, he shows up as a "serpent".

Known as the Devil, or Satan, there in the Garden of Eden, he is in the form of a "serpent". He misquotes God, puts doubt in the mind of Eve and proceeds to manipulate both Eve and Adam for the purpose of causing them to go against the Lord and do what He had told them not to do, eat of the "Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil".

There are consequences for sin, verses 16-19, God told Adam and Eve, "For in the day that thou eatest thereof [the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil], thou shalt surely die," Genesis 2:17. However, at this time of the first "sin", a "promise" was made in the form of a "prophecy", a Saviour would be "provided".

This is the very first prophecy of a coming "Messiah" - a Saviour for all mankind. This same prophecy also looks for Satan - the great Adversary - to come, but to meet his defeat by the power of the Messiah. Scripture teaches that Jesus Christ fulfilled every prophecy written of the coming of the Messiah. This fact then makes Him the fulfillment of this stated prophecy.

Jesus Christ, our Saviour, not only defeats Satan in the end, but strengthens us to stand against our Adversary on a daily basis, Ephesians 6:10-13. The Lord will also call us to meet Him in the "air" at the Rapture, which could happen today.

PRAYER THOUGHT: Thank you Lord for the "prophecy" of a coming Saviour, the "promise" that He  would take care of my sin problem and the "provision" of that Saviour.

Quotes of the Week

If this code of conduct was not legalistic, what, then, constitutes legalism? It is obvious from the Jerusalem council’s decision that an institution is not legalistic for simply establishing rules of conduct. Rather, the purpose for which it establishes its code reveals whether or not it is legalistic.

If a Christian institution wants to turn questionable practices into moral absolutes or sees its code as gaining merit from God, then the code is a form of legalism. But if the institution wants to show genuine love by not offending those with weaker consciences and truly wants to help its members avoid such offenses to enable more effective ministry, then it is not legalistic. -Renald E. Showers

----------------------

Sooner or later we all sit down to a banquet table of consequences. - Robert L. Stevenson

----------------------

Since the Scriptures cannot be recalled to mind unless they’ve first been installed in the mind, and since they cannot abide in our hearts unless we first hide them in our hearts, it is surely pleasing and honoring to God that we learn “by heart” as much of His Word as we can. H.M. Morris

----------------------

This devotional reading of the entire Bible, all sixty-six books, will instruct us on how to live in light of His soon coming and encourage us to live, as instructed, as we await His shout at the Rapture to join Him in the "air". By the way, that "shout" could come today, so keep looking up. - Jimmy DeYoung

------------------------

By the way, there are no "streets" of gold in the New Jerusalem. Notice the word "street" is not in the plural, the way so many people speak of them or sing about them. In the New Jerusalem there is only one "street", Revelation 21:21 and 22:2. Therefore, we all live on "main-street" in the New Jerusalem, not on some "back street". - Jimmy DeYoung
