Hello again, my friends, those of you who are friends with me on Facebook (I call it Faithbook - some of my friends call what I post on Facebook, my Facebook Ministry) - have already read the title and what I have to say about this.....
Here it is:
Are you sleeping with the Enemy??? Meaning the Enemy of your Soul??? For when you allow Doubt and Fear to divert you from the path you're on, where you know, God is leading you - when you can almost touch forever, and when you are fulfilled in what you are doing, but if you're not yet exactly where you want to be..... - don't give up believing - it is just around the next bend....
The assault of the enemy, bombarding us with fears and doubts, is strongest, when we're just about to FINALLY break through the mist of dawn, to see the bright Sonshine upon our lives. Please my friends, trust me, I have been there......and by the Grace of God have been able to push through.
Recent happenings again have shown me, that it's truly according to one's faith that it is given unto them. Believe in the promises in the Bible, that you are called to be what God created you to be. Nothing more, but also nothing less - and being what God created you to be, is the most brilliant place to be - you want to know why??? Because he doesn't expect you to be perfect, just to be, who he created to be, and to listen and obey to his calling, and he will do the rest. If he calls you, he will make sure you succeed. No doubt about that.
He thinks you are to die for, and if you had been the only person on Earth, when he sent Jesus down to earth, to die for your sins, he still would have done it. Don't listen to gossip or other people's opinion, rest in the arms of Jesus, knowing that he loves you more, that he went to the cross willingly for you. That's how much he loves you and how much he wants to enter into a meaningful relationship with you. Nothing compares to being in this life giving relationship. Trust him with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight (Proverbs 3;5-6) - delight yourself in him, and he will give you the desire of your heart (Psalm 37:4).
God created you in his image, so don't shrink back and consider yourself unworthy of being loved, promoted, successful in all your ways - You are his Masterpiece (Ephesians 2:10) - We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us (Philippians 4:13). Never ever forget that.
With this I close today and wish you an amazing Saturday - the Sun is out and the snow sparkles like millions of diamonds - my friends, we are so rich in his riches, if we only let go of the standards of the world, and consider us rich, because we can enjoy nature, see the beauty around us, have people in our lives, that love us, and not look at our bank accounts and the fame regarding our outward life. Let's keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, and receive all the blessings he has for us, for he longs to give us Life everlasting and he wants to give it to us more abundantly. Let's make a collective decision, to receive all he has prepared for us - let's step into Heaven here on earth and not believe the lies of the devil of poverty, sickness and despair.
God is bigger than any of the mountains, and Jesus even said, that if we had faith the size of a mustard seed, we could tell the mountain in front of us, to move and it would move. Let's speak truth and life into the lives of the people in our lives, encourage and comfort those in need. But most of all, let's decide, to never again sleep with the enemy!!!
In the powerful name of Jesus Christ I pray,
Amen
