Texas Holdem Part 7

Now that we are at the betting stage.  Lets look at the term “Bluff”.   A bluff is betting even though you don’t have a good hand.  The enemy will try to bluff you and scare you out of the game.  How does the enemy try to bluff you or scare you out of the game?  Through bad reports, bad circumstances, things don’t look like they are getting any better, mind games, whisper things in your ear.  Remember when Jesus cursed the fig tree in Mark 11:12-14.  There was no outward manifestation that you could see right then. But the next day the fig tree had dried up from the roots.   Mark 11:20-24  We have to have mental toughness.

Rom.12:2  And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

If we don’t do that then we give place to the devil and we fall for his bluff every time.  To many times Christians lose out on the game of life because they suffered a bad beat, they fell to the bluff of the enemy.  To many hopes, dreams, desires crushed.  People stayed in captivity because of fear, because the enemy bluffed them into defeat.

Let me encourage you to stay in the game; don’t let the enemy bluff you out of the game of life.  Go for your dreams.  You are a guaranteed winner.
