For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against
principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this
world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. (Ephesians 6:12)
The enemy’s sole purpose is to steal your joy and turn you
against God. He will bombard you with everything he has to break you and to
hurt you. This week was just one of those where the enemy took his attacks to
the next level. Firstly, he started with pain, then he dug into my character and
then he tried to break my faith and my trust and finally he gave me the flu
just in case I missed him trying to get to me.
How often do we stand at the point where you think “what now”?
Is this it? Am I really that worthless? Can it get any worse? These are simply
questions the enemy is placing in your mind trying to turn you against God, because
the next thing will be: “God must truly hate me”.
Now, for one God loves you beyond human capacity, because
Jesus gave His life for you. Then we need to remember that we will have
tribulation and we will have it difficult, because we life for Jesus. Now the
closer you get to living it right the harder it will be, because the enemy will
do anything to steal a soul from heaven.
I was down and I still have no idea how it will all fall
into place, but what I do know and what I will never let go off is the love of
my Father and His promise to carry me through my battles and to uplift me. He will
restore it all and He will show me the way. I need to spend more time with Him in
His word and I need to listen. Finally, I must not give up or give in. The
battles may be hard but the reward us way worth it. If you find yourself in a
place where you also feel that the walls are coming down and the wheels are giving
in remember this: Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in
Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. God decided in advance to
adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ.
This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure. So, we praise God
for the glorious grace he has poured out on us who belong to his dear Son. He
is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood
of his Son and forgave our sins. He has showered his kindness
on us, along with all wisdom and understanding.
Have an awesome day.
I love you, my friend in Jesus.
Cheers
