Do You Understand What You Must Do To Quench The Fiery Darts of The Enemy?

What are you busy doing while the enemy is busy trying to plot and plan against your life? Are you busy praying? Are you busy fasting? Are you busy trying to build yourself up in your most holy faith? Are you busy putting on your armor? Or, are you just being idle and not preparing yourself to be able to stand when the enemy comes to try to knock you off your feet?

Understand, the devil wants you to be defeated. He's not just contemplating doing things to hurt you or to harm you, he is putting his plan in action so that he can shoot his fiery darts at you and you have to be able to quench every fiery dart of the enemy.  Do you know what you have to do to quench the fiery darts of the enemy? The fiery darts of the enemy are quenched by the shield of faith.

Do you know how to raise your shield of faith? Your shield of faith is only raised by trusting in who God is and believing that His promises are true.  You have to trust and believe in order for you to block the fiery darts of the enemy which bring with it fear, doubt, and deceit.  

In order for you to be strong enough to raise your shield of faith, you must read God's Word, speak God's Word, pray God's Word, and remember God's Word. By doing all of these things, you can quench fear and eliminate doubt. Amen

SCRIPTURE MEDITATION 

Ephesians 6:16

KING JAMES VERSION 

Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

Are You Letting God Take What The Enemy Meant For Evil and Work It Together For Your Good or Are You Nullifying God's Process By Succumbing To Temptation?

What are you learning in your process of pain? Have you found the lesson in what you are going through? Have you secured your testimony so that you can help others get through? Has your process of pain caused you to get stronger and to grow in faith? Are you letting the devil win by murmuring, complaining, giving up, giving in, and by surrendering to temptation?

God has already told us that He wants to take what the devil meant for evil and work it together for our good but if we succumb to the evil, how can God work it together for our good? When you succumb to something, you give in to it. Instead of fighting off temptation, you yield to it.  God does not want us to yield to the pressures of life because when we do, it causes us to die spiritually. God wants us to live. He wants to be us to be strong in Him and the power of His might. He wants us to fight the good fight of faith and not to yield to the fear that is being presented to us by the devil.

We get to choose. We get to choose whether or not we are going to allow what the enemy is doing to hinder us, hurt us, and keep us from walking in faith or we can choose  to cast the care of it all on God, knowing that God cares for us and knowing that He will take it and work it together for our good and His glory.  How we handle what the devil is doing is our choice. We need to choose to trust God to bring good out of everything that the devil is trying to do that is evil in our lives. Amen

SCRIPTURE MEDITATION 

Genesis 50:20 (KJV)

But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.

When The Devil's Trying To Implement His Vision In Your Life, What Are You Doing?

You have to know that the devil's always going to try. He wants to see you where he is. He wants to see you living your life out with him. So how are you counteracting the devil when he's trying to implement his plan in your life? Are you calling those things that be not as though they were? Are you binding up the works of the enemy and speaking life to your life? Or are you accepting what the enemy is saying and what the enemy is doing and being silent?  Your silence to what the enemy is doing is in essence your submission to what the enemy is doing. Don't submit to the devil!

You have to know, understand, and use the power of your words based on God's Word. If you never use your words to counteract the enemy, then the enemies words will be what will bear fruit in your life.  The enemy's faith is always in himself. Whereas, your faith should always be in God. The enemy thinks he's going to win and you should know that you win with Christ. Don't sit by idly while the enemy promotes and implements his plan in your life. Let the enemy's plan provoke you to live your life according to God's plan so that you can assure that you have the eternal life that Jesus died for you to have.  Amen

SCRIPTURE MEDITATION 

Luke 10:19

King James 

Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

Sometimes You Just Have To Begin Again With God

There may be times in your life where you have to start over. Times where you have to begin again. Understand, it's okay to begin again as long as you are beginning again with God.

It's a hard thought to think about having to start all over but if you truly really think about it, God is in the beginning. He's in the beginning of everything. So knowing that you're going back to the beginning it's like knowing that you going back to God. Going back to Him so that He can show you His perfect plan for your life.

Know that if you are having to start all over again, you are not alone. God is with you in the beginning, He's with you throughout the journey, and He will be with you throughout eternity. He hasn't changed, nor has his plan changed for your life. Sometimes, we get off track. We try to self-direct our lives, instead of following his direction. It is at those times we have to stop, go back to God for the answer, wait on God for the answer, and walk fully in faith with Him to fulfill His promise and to show us the answer.  Amen

Revelation 2:4-5 (King James Version)

Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.

Starting All Over Again

I haven't done any posting on this blog page for quite some time because I have been making all the posts on Facebook. I think it's time to come back to the first love. To come back to posting here again.

To begin with I just want to pray. I want to pray that God watches over you, shields you, protects you, and provides for you. I pray that He does a new thing in you and for you. I pray that he opens up new doors for you and I pray that He takes you through those doors. I pray today that you are healed from the crown of your head to the soles of your feet and I pray that the manifestation of His goodness, grace, and glory is prevalent in your life in Jesus name, amen.

What Do You Do When You Are Not Sure What To Do?

In the midst of all the trials that come with life, what do you do when you don’t know what to do?   Do you quit?   Do you give in?   Do you move based on emotion or do you do nothing because you don’t know what to do?   Whatever it is. you are doing, I pray that it is what God is telling you to do.   

There will be times when God tells you to move and there will be times when He tells you to stand still and know that He is God.    If you don’t know that to do, it’s best to stand still and to ask Him to do what only He can do.    You have to know that your stillness will help you hear the. still small voice of God. 

Whatever it is that you decide to do, I pray that it moves you in synchrony with God.   I pray that your steps are ordered by Him and I pray that your faith remains in Him.   Life can get hard sometimes but you always have to remember that God is with you at all times.

Psalms 32:8 

I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.

Do You Realize That No Matter What The Enemy Is Trying To Do To You, It Does Not Nullify What Jesus Did For You?

What do you do when you are faced with a battle?   Do you give into worry, doubt, and fear or do you take a stand and stand strong in God on the firm foundation of His Word?   We have to learn how to stand. 

We have to learn how stand in the midst of storms.   We have to learn how to stand when people are using their words to try to knock us down and out.   We have to learn how to stand no matter what is going on around us or coming at us. 

 

The very first thing that we must remember when we are faced with the storms that come with life is that God is with us.   He has promised to never leave us nor forsake us.   We have to remember that His Word is true and we have to understand that no matter what the enemy is trying to do, it cannot nullify what Christ has done.
