Keep walking when the enemy is stalking! I learned that in my bible study last night. The enemy wants us to think we have no worth. It wants us to be depressed, defeated, denied, destroyed. Well all you need to do is say to the enemy when it comes is, "It is written". I learned that ignorance is what allows the enemy to enter our lives. When we are not biblically sound, we do not know how to pray away the attack. Jesus was tempted and simply stated, "It is written", and was able to recite scripture. We will always win the battle when we stay fixed on God. We must stay strong and steadfast. The battle is the Lord's and He will fight for us! Give your battles to Him today for He wants to do great and mighty things. I believe miracles will begin to happen. I believe my household will see and experience wonderous things for our obedience. I feel so much lighter since I made my committment to God that I was going to do more in my spiritual walk. It is so true and obvious for me that attending church once a week and then going about your business the next 6 does not cut it. And I say that in a survival sense, not in a judgemental sense. Meaning, I used to attend church and then head off to the workplace. Over the years, my weekly attendance dropped off and my church going became obsolete.I justified it and I made excuses for it. But nonetheless I was not attending church. When you are distracted by anything, God will remove it. When you place anyone or anything, job or otherwise, before God , He will remove it....all of it. And I am here to tell you that He did that very thing to me. I realize why He did. I was so unfocused. So off track. I never denied my God or denounced my beliefs, never. But I was just stagnant, in all ways. Now I see why my life was so in disarray. My marriage, my job, my relationships. But through the blood of the Lamb, I am saved. I am forgiven and all I had to do was acknowledge my ways, my faults and my mistakes. And God said, "Surrender yourself onto me". And that very decision has changed the course of my life. All you have to do is admit you have made a mess of things and seek the Lord's face and He will repair and restore you. All you have to do is ask, seek and knock.
Joshua 24:15
