At What Point Do You Stand Still And Let God Be God? Learn How To Battle In Peace.....

At what point do you stand still and let God be God?   When do you resign from doing it yourself and trying to  make it happen on your behalf?   When do you truly trust God?   Trust Him to work it out and trust Him to show you favor?    God is God.   He is Alpha and Omega.   The beginning and the end.   He is the first and the last.   The Creator of heaven and earth.    He is your help in times of trouble and He will fight  your battle.  

We expend so much strength and so much energy by trying to figure it out and trying to do it.    We try to get people to understand our point of view when God wants them to understand His point of view.    Is your point of view leading other people closer to God?   Or has it all turned out as a physical attack?   Has it all become personal between you and whomever or whatever is attacking your life?  

It's time to step back and regroup.   It's time to learn the true art of resistance.   Resistance is your refusal to give in and your ability to stand against  opposition.    The question is .... is your resistance in God and are you standing in Him?   Or are you fighting the battle in your own strength or your own ability?    When you fight in your own strength you become tired and you become weary.    You were not designed to fight for yourself.   You were designed to stand in God.   To allow Him to go before you in battle and understand that He is also your rearguard.    If you never yield your position or your opinion....how can God go before you and be seen.   If you are consistently talking over Him trying to get your point across....how can God's voice be heard.    Learn how to war in peace.   Peace means a tranquil and calm state.   A state of knowing the promises of God.

You have to learn how to stand in Him.    You stand in Him by standing on His word.   You stand on His word by trusting what He has said.  He said that He will never leave you nor forsake  you.    He said that He would fight your battles.   He said that the heart of the man is in His hands and He turns it whatever way He sees fit.    He said to lean on Him.   To trust also in Him and He would bring it to pass.    He said that He goes before us and makes every crooked place straight.   He said the battle doesn't belong to us.....it is His.   

So when you are doing God's word.....sharing God's word.....believing God's word......and trusting God's word......why are surprised about the attack.   The attack is not against you.   It is an attack against God and His word in your life.    So why are you trying to fight a "word" battle.    God and His word are one.    Therefore you are trying to fight a God battle.   

Yield to the power and presence of God.   Your job is to worship and God's job is to fight.    As you worship .... you must also rest.   Rest in knowing that the end result of every God battle is that He wins.   Therefore you win as long as you stay in Him.
