War Time

I have become some what complacent over the past few years with who I am as a Christian........much like most of you. I can recite scripture to you that is supposed to help remind us of the attacks the enemy constantly makes on our lives, homes, and relationships and yet we still get comfortable. Today I come to you with the attitude of Paul......"I am the chief of all sinners". I do not approach as someone who is qualified or even in a place of authority, just a place of humility to warn you.

We tend to get into a place of thinking that satan wants nothing to do with us, but what we fail to see is that is exactly what he wants from us. The idea or preconceived notion that the devil gets to a point where he just leaves us alone is incorrect. He is always at work to destroy our ministry and he continues to attack us, although he may take a break until you get comfortable, he does come back and he fires with all he has when he attacks. The problem is that we are never prepared for the second wave of attacks and he knows that.

He is in fact prowling around like a lion, seeking whom he may devour!! And when he does, he chews you up and spits you out daring you to try again. This always leaves us in a position to choose our next move very carefully. For some of us, we just quit altogether giving him the victory, others move past it and grow stronger in their stance and always remain prepared for battle. Ephesians tells us that we should never remove our armor and that every circumstance is a battle against the enemy. We do not battle against flesh and blood but against the powers and principalities in the heavenly realms.....do you get that?? Do not be left with a feeling of defeat, get up and try again. Look him in his face and let him know he may have gotten you this time, but he only made you stronger. Always look at his attacks as God drawing your name out of the hat to be refined today.

It is war time all the time so get your swords out and do some damage to the enemy, that is where the victory lies!!

And that's

My 2 Sense!!
