Stop Listening To The Enemy!

“Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.”1 Peter‬ ‭5‬:‭8‬ ‭

Jesus didn’t come down onto the earth and die on the cross for us to listen to the devil’s lies. He will use any and everything he can to distract us from God and from our purpose. We have to tell him “no!”. We are not defined by what he has to say or what he thinks of us. Our worth is not found in man, what people think, say, or do to us, our worth is found in God alone! The enemy doesn’t just lie to us about our life, he also uses our emotions too. He will make us feel like we aren’t enough to be the best in our ministries that God called us to do, he will try to make us question our worth because once we think we aren’t enough then he can make us begin to question why God made us the way that he did. He will make you afraid of the future because he doesn’t want you to trust God with all things, and he will use any and every emotion to get power over us and make us believe that we aren’t able to accomplish all things through Christ. All the things the enemy tells you are a lie to keep you away from God! You have to remember that God made each of us perfect for what we are called to do, He doesn’t call the qualified, He qualifies the called! Start today saying “no” when the enemy tells you a lie! You are more than capable to overcome if only you trust in God through it all! Lay your problems at the cross because God can and will restore all the enemy has stolen from you! Here are some verses to reflect on today. “and delivers me from my enemies. You hold me safe beyond the reach of my enemies; you save me from violent opponents.” 2 Samuel‬ ‭22‬:‭49‬ ‭ “Let our refugees stay among you. Hide them from our enemies until the terror is past.” When oppression and destruction have ended and enemy raiders have disappeared,” Isaiah‬ ‭16‬:‭4‬ ‭ “Come and redeem me; free me from my enemies.” Psalms‬ ‭69‬:‭18‬ ‭ “For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.” Ephesians‬ ‭6‬:‭12‬ ‭

Happiness That Will Never Fulfill.

“Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37:4‬ ‭ Happiness is something we are all searching for in life, it's something that we each want to feel. I have come to realize if I want to feel happiness it begins with finding God. I will never be happy in this world when I don't have God in my life. Although people think they might be happy on earth now, there will come a time for eternity and if their lives are full of sin then happiness will never last. Believing that this world can satisfy your soul is only lying to yourselves. You have to find a true meaningful relationship with God and work on it everyday, you aren't called to be perfect but you have to make an effort. God knows your heart, and if you're trying He sees that. Today, spend time truly seeking God for the happiness you're searching for. This earth cannot fill your soul. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken sp...

Wait Patiently!

“Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.” Psalms‬ ‭27:14‬ ‭ If God is making you wait, then wait patiently. Nothing in the waiting is a waste. I remember a time in my life where I was praying for something, I waited years and seem to receive no answer. I waited and waited. Somedays I was impatient and cried all day, other days I waited with patience of steel and praised God for what I knew I would someday receive. Sometimes the waiting is easy, other times it is an uphill battle. Whenever we are waiting we will go through different seasons, but we can count on the fact that God is at work for us. The waiting is important and a lesson is somewhere in the midst. Today, whatever it is God is having you wait for know that the season of waiting is often a time you look back on as a blessing. Even if it doesn't feel like a blessing now someday you will see how close the waiting brought you to God. When we are waiting we often spend more tim...

Don't Forget God!

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.” Philippians‬ ‭4:6‬ ‭ Don't forget God when you receive what you are praying for. God knows the things that we want the most, and often times He does give us what we want. When God does give us the things we want we have to stop and give thanks. It's like this, if you give someone a gift that you know they have really been wanting, something they will absolutely love, and they don't even say thank you it would hurt your feelings. It would make you feel like they don't appreciate you. If someone asked how they got the gift and they said they got it for themselves it would make you hurt also. When God gives us what we are praying for we need to shout from the rooftops that God done it for us, that He made a way. We need to thank God, telling everyone about it. We should be excited to tell others about God and all the wonderful things He does for us. Toda...
