The Power Of Suggestion
Contributed by Ronnie Thrower on Nov 28, 2017 (message contributor)
Summary: Have you ever changed your mind due to what someone has said to you? Whether you would like to admit it or not our lives have been influenced by other people’s suggestions.
Tragically, Felix postponed making a decision for Christ. Again he delayed making the right choice. He did what so many do simply put the decision off for some other time.
If Satan can get you to put off making a decision about salvation even if in your mind it is only just one day, your are one day closer to hell.
The bible tells us in Romans 13:11 (KJV) 11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
Don’t be influenced by the suggestive power of Satan!
Don’t be like Felix!
Don’t be like King Aggripa and say, “Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.”
Jesus died on the cross and paid the price for your sin!
Nothing left owed!
You can be save today!
IV. Satan Will Suggest That Salvation Is All That Required.
He wants you to live a relaxed and uninvolved life.
He did not want you to get saved but since you have let me have your ear for just a minute did you know that you don’t really have to serve the Lord!
He will tell you that someone else will do the job.
He will tell you that you know that you don’t have the time.
He will tell you that you don’t have the talents needed to do the job.
He will try to keep you from being an active witness.
He will try to keep you from reading your Bible.
He will suggest to you that you don’t need Sunday School.
Or that you are spiritual enough that Sunday Morning Worship is all that you need.
Acts 1:8 (KJV) 8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
Luke 14:23 (KJV) 23 And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
John 15:16 (KJV) 16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
Conclusion
Not one person is exempt from what I am saying.
We are all subject to the suggestive attacks of Satan!
Don’t let him convince you that you are okay like you are!!!
