I have been on a journey to live a life of righteousness. Believe me, it is much harder than I thought. Every day we are in a constant battle and I think sometimes we are ignorant about it.
We get tired
and we do not feel like praying or spending time in God’s Word. We start to lack
and the enemy basically wins. As I seek more and more of God my closet time has
become more and more intense.
As I desperately
hunger for more of God the enemy just comes in waves. I am not always aware of
his deceit as it sometimes seem as my own thoughts. Again the battle is against
the spirit world but we are also in a fight between our carnal self and our spiritual
self.
The closer I
get to God and the more time I spend in His Word my own personal battle seems
to be much easier. It is still the enemy that comes at times we least expect it,
like in your dreams.
It is so important
that you sanctify your home and your bedroom and your thoughts before you
sleep. I always ask the Lord to send my guardian angel to help me through the night
and I go into earnest prayer before bedtime.
As you
fight your battles I will include you in my prayers for Paul wrote that you
must be praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit,
being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the
saints.
