“Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.”
(1 Peter 5:8 ESV)
“Submit yourselves, therefore, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”
(James 4:7 ESV)
“Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.”
(Ephesians 6:11 ESV)
Have you ever had to do warfare with the devil? I did Saturday. I fought all day. I was getting tired by evening.
What is warfare with the devil? It’s not a physical fight but a mental one. I think I would have preferred a physical fight. It wouldn’t have lasted so long.
Yesterday morning, while getting ready for church, I had another challenge. I got weak and lightheaded. But I went to church. And I am so glad I did. On the way to church the Christian station, I listened to played songs directed straight at me. They encouraged me. They built my faith back up. Then, the sermon was directed at me, too. I left church feeling good and full of faith again. On the way home, the song Overcomer was played. I’m an overcomer! I will come through the fight I am in right now victoriously! Victory is mine! Victory is yours also. Start claiming it. Worship God. Praise Him. Thank Him for things before they manifest.
God loves hearing from you. He loves it when His children talk to Him. So the next time you are going through something, call on God. Call on Him even if nothing is going on. Let Him know how you’re feeling.
Have a fabulous day, everyone.
