M.A.D. - MOTHERS AGAINST
THE DEVIL--Genesis 3:1-13; Key vs. 13 Introduction:
Ladies, I want to encourage you on this Mother's Day to be M.A.D. I'm
not talking about being angry. I'm talking about a group I'm
officially organizing this morning called "Mothers Against the Devil." The devil wants to
destroy the home, and one of the ways to do that is to destroy the
sacred office of motherhood. The devil deceived
the woman in the garden, and the human race was affected for all time
and eternity. He is your biggest enemy, ladies. He wants to destroy you,
your marriage, and your children. He wants to destroy your purity, your
productivity, and your piece of mind.
Join
M.A.D. today! Mothers Against the Devil! THERE ARE TWO
REQUIREMENTS TO JOIN: 1.
You must already be saved. Otherwise you are on Satan's side and in his
clutches, even if you don't know it. 2.
You must have a real desire to let God rule your life rather than Satan
OR YOURSELF! IF
YOU WANT TO THWART SATAN, HERE ARE SOME SCRIPTURAL TIPS:

yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.---Matthew

Peter 3:1 Likewise, ye
wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the
word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the
wives; 1 Peter 3:5-6 For after this manner in the old time
the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in
subjection unto their own husbands: 6 Even as Sara obeyed Abraham,
calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are
not afraid with any amazement. A.
