It's His Mission B.U.T. He Won't Win

Most of my post are done on Mondays, but for some reason I felt compelled to get something off my heart. This past weekend I literally witnessed a fight in the spirit. When the enemy sees that God's people are uniting to show Him honor and give Him glory, he rears his ugly head and attempts to sabotage by bringing discord. But.Understand.This, the God we serve is All-powerful and All-knowing, He was prepared for the tricks the devil had up his sleeves and planted among us some powerful women of prayer. Let me tell you that the Word of God says "the thief's purpose is to steal, and kill and destroy." (John 10:10) He attempted to kill our spirit and steal our joy. His attempt to destroy what God had brought together did not manifest. Through prayer and praise he was shutdown as quickly as he rose. We serve a mighty God and He gets the glory for fighting a battle only He could win.

You see, it is satan's mission to break us, keep us in bondage to sin and kill our purpose. In hopes that we will join him in hell for eternity. It's his mission, B.U.T, he won't win! Because in the same verse Jesus says, "My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life." Jesus came that we may have this life now here on earth and in eternity! He accomplished that mission on the cross.

Okay, I feel better now that is out! To God be the glory!

Have you ever witnessed a spiritual battle?

Through the Fire But Not Burned

Let me tell you about a fire I went through. I know some can agree with me when I say it sometimes feel like hell on earth in my life. I was once married and madly in love with my husband. We dated about 5 years before we tied the knot. You couldn’t tell me my husband didn’t love me or that he would cheat on me. Well, I learned then never say never. When I found out about the extra relationship he decided to take on, the chick was pregnant. Plus I knew her, I didn’t know of her, no literally I knew her. I thought we were friends but turns out we were not. Anywho, I was devastated without a doubt. It was like my whole world was shattered and no one could understand. I had given my all and felt there must be something wrong with me. I just knew this relationship was the one to last forever.

Did I try to reconcile with my husband? Yes. Did I pray for my marriage? No and yes. I asked God to change my heart but never to heal my marriage. Could I trust my husband again? No, I could not. I tried really hard to trust him again but I simply couldn’t because I had not forgiven him. My life took a turn down a path that left me depressed and lonely. Going through this fire is where I learned to trust God. I sought out the assistance of a therapist; combined with prayer and my new faith in God I made it out. Today, I can confess that I went through the fire but I’m not burned.

“When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you.” - ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭43:2‬ ‭NLT‬‬

One Love,
