Under Attack



 

 So this week, I’ve had some serious spiritual warfare happening. The enemy has found all my weak buttons and just started pushing them all. I’ve been really emotional. I’ve literally cried over everything. I’ve felt really fragile and sad. Almost to the point of being depressed. Discouraged. I felt like it was me standing against an army of thousands.

I went to a really good friend of mine for some prayer and encouragement. They gave me just that. Reminding me that my God is bigger then anything I may face. He is in control and no matter the how long or big the storm may be. God is still God.
They also reminded me of the story of Job. How Satan threw so much at him. He had everything stripped away from him. But the difference between Job and I, and our experiences was that Job stayed faithful to the Lord. Obeying His upward call. PRAISING Him. And me? Well I was dwelling upon myself and my emotions. Asking God why so much was going on. I finally just said Lord, I can’t do this by myself. I need you to be the Rock I lean upon. My strong tower. I am weak. But in You I am strong. And sure enough He came in with loving arms and grasped hold of my hand. Ready to walk hand and hand with me through this journey.
I know that My God is the God of angel armies and He always right by my side.



Sisters, are you under the attack of the enemy in this season of life right now? Whether its finals, or siblings, an emotional state in your life of sadness, depression, stuff going on at home, friends. Whatever it is. I want to encourage you to press into your Savior. We have large targets on our backs. Are we letting the devil get a bulls eye or are we moving and walking strong with the Lord to where he just barely touches us. I know its hard. Its not an easy journey. But let me tell you something. Its going to be worth it. When we are singing with our brothers and sisters in the Lord, worshiping our Savior. Where there is no more tears, no more pain and heartache. Just Joy, and an eternity of love with our Beloved Father. Hold strong little one. The storm will pass and the Joy of the Lord will be bursting through the clouds. Let him bring you comfort. Let Him be the Rock you lean upon. Don’t dwell on the temporary things happening. Dwell in the presence of the Lord. He knows your tomorrow. He knows your strong! He LOVES you.

Love you sisters!

Love in HIM!

 

Here are some verses of encouragement.

1 Corinthians 4:10


We are fools for Christ’s sake, but you are wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are distinguished, but we are dishonored!

Isaiah 40:29


He gives power to the weak,
And to those who have no might He increases strength.


2 Corinthians 13:4


For though He was crucified in weakness, yet He lives by the power of God. For we also are weak in Him, but we shall live with Him by the power of God toward you.

Job 42:2


“I know that You can do everything,
And that no purpose of Yours
