Been finding out thru my network of people that people must know who they are if they are to be successful in their calling by God. Watching people get destroyed by the devil and tore apart by the stresses of the world, especially occurs when the wrong people are chosen for jobs they weren’t called to do.
As God continues to lead and direct me, I can expect attacks that he will try to kill, steal and destroy. I have accepted that fact. What I haven’t accepted is defeat. I am still more than a conqueror thru Christ. No weapon formed against me will prosper. For those of you who don’t know, we are in a battle between good and evil, light and darkness each and every day. we walk in righteousness, seek out His will and put on His armor each and every day. We pray without ceasing too! We don’t within our own intellect or the intellect of others, but the mind of Christ. We are empowered with the Holy Spirit for every good work. Everyday, we are in spiritual boot camp. You can go AWOL if you want, but when the enemy comes shooting, you will react in fear and shock. Our Boot camp is unique though. It is hands-on and on-the-job training at the same time. We don’t get to take time off. Leaving the perfect plan of Supreme Commander will get you shot at and even destroyed as you “venture out into your desire and into the enemy’s fire”.
This weekend when Steve and I were at the Shiloh Come Alive! Conference at least 5 different attacks happened against people in our church. Most were with people they knew or extended families. All the while we were praying for protection for specific people and groups who were not directly affected because of His grace, power and protection. These events ranged from horrible to now just irritants. But, because this did not waiver our focus upon the Gospel, miraculous, mind-blowing and life changing ‘stuff’ happened. Nothing sparks revival more than His glorious presence and experiencing it. Stop just reading about it, gaining more intellectual knowledge of it and hearing about others who have encountered it, we MUST create an atmosphere of worshipping Him in Spirit and in Truth so He will respond and allow us to experience Him, even on a daily basis. We don’t waiver upon the His plan, nor His will – no matter what the cost!
In the midst of our battles we shouldn’t take our eyes off our goal – Jesus Christ. When we do fear will set in. Walking in the Spirit allows us to see what He is doing and it is faith building. Too many people walk by knowledge and not by faith. They walk in capabilities and not His empowerment. I feel bad for people that being destroyed because they lack these qualities or the Spiritual resolve to flee from even the appearance of evil. Many times it is the leaders or pastors that have unteachable hearts when it comes to spiritual equipping. They will ultimately be destroyed in this ongoing battle that Jesus intends us to be victorious in.
Jesus said greater things we shall do than He when we receive the Holy Spirit’s power. We can and will trample upon the enemy’s power and nothing from him shall harm you! When it consistently does it either shows sinful lifestyles, lukewarm hearts, weak character (immaturity or heart issues not dealt with yet), intellectual drive (just like Eve partook of the Tree of t he Knowledge of Good and Evil) or you have been placed in a position where you are not suppose to be. NOT because of us, but because of who He empowered us to be, and to inject the name of ‘Jesus’ into that situation.
Spiritual attacks are and should be expected. He has prepared us to be equipped and empowered to overcome these attacks in the name of Jesus. In some battles we struggle, but the War has been won! Overcome fear with being Strong and courageous!
IN HIM I AM VICTORIOUS!
Have another great and blest week!
