Love the Lord with all your heart. Even when you are facing your toughest battle and it feels like you have nothing left to fight with, fight with prayer. It is your greatest weapon and the Lord is your greatest shield. I pray almost every day, "let no weapon formed against me prosper" (Isaiah 54:17) for He is my refuge against all fiery darts. The closer you become to God, the more frequent the attacks from the enemy. When you are really feeling the enemy's resistance than rejoice in the Lord for you are making a difference and shaking up his dark grounds and he is not pleased. But that is when the Lord is most pleased. And we are either serving the Lord or serving satan. No middle ground in spiritual warfare. When we feel the weakest, the most tired or isolated, he will strike at you. Arm yourself and prepare for all battles. He wants you to give up and feel defeated and make you think your God has abandoned you but he is a liar and he comes to bring death to our lives. We must rebuke him and tell him where his place is and that is under our shoes. He is the dirt on our shoes. He must flee in the name of Jesus. The Lord loves you and protects you and will guide you to all truth so hold on, keep the faith and remember who won the battle. For the Lord said, "it is finished" (John 19:30) not in defeat but in victory. In victorious confidence, the Lord Jesus Christ is saying to us, "The work that my Father gave Me to do, the mission that He sent Me to accomplish, is finished. It is finished!" It is a shout of victory. It is a cry of obedience, God-centered obedience. And we obey, God responds. So you just keep doing what you are doing. And having done all, stand. Stand in truth, stand in victory, stand in wisdom and stand in power. Amen?!
