Encouragement
Victory's On The Way
Anytime you begin to focus on God...
Anytime you determine in your heart and set your sights on the prize (the Pearl of great price, that is to be found in totally surrendering to Christ Jesus)...
Anytime you begin to be productive...
Anytime God begins to get glory from your life...
That's when satan will sit up and take notice!
That's when the devil will start to fear - not you - but the EFFECTS of what you are doing. He fears the Power of God working in you! He doesn't want you to allow God to use you in a mighty way. The thought of all the lives that will be changed because of your obedience to God, angers satan...and when satan gets angry, what does he do? When your obedience to the One who will cast him into the lake of fire backs him into a corner, the devil is furious! - and you can expect it, you can look for it, no need to be surprised - he's gonna come out fighting (for he knows that his time is short.) Rest assured, he will use everything he's got.
If you are being attacked more than you've ever been attacked...
If you're being hit on every side and you can't figure out why (satan's never paid so much attention to you or had such a concentrated effort to destroy you because you've never really threatened him before.)
Now that he knows you're WILLING to do WHATEVER it takes, whatever the Lord wants - Go where God says to go - Speak the words God says to speak - touch the lives God says to touch...now is when the devil decides to make you his #1 target. You're the one causing him trouble.
Therefore, he's going to use anything and everything he can to get to you - to steal your joy - to get your eyes off the prize and on the battle. He'll use your children, your spouse, your friends, your boss...anybody and anything. If this is the place you find yourself in, be of good courage, God has a word for you! God sees the end of the matter - He sees the situation your in and He has the solution. God says, "Your circumstances can't change who I AM, but, I AM can change your circumstances!" Praise be to the name of the Most High God, who gives us the victory!
God's saying to you right now, "Don't be afraid, if I am with you, what shall overcome you? Any weapon formed against you will not prosper! Behold, I have spoken. You shall not be overcome! You shall not be ashamed! You shall not run and hide from the enemy for no enemy will be able to stand before the people who are called by My name! I have called you to victory, and you SHALL win!! I know the end of the matter - the end of your situation, your battle, your struggle, your circumstance...You shall be victorious! You shall overcome! You shall walk and not faint! You shall run and not be weary! You shall mount up with wings as eagles! I will not leave you! I will not forsake you. I'll be with you. I will NEVER leave you."
Praise be to the True and Living God who holds ALL POWER both in Heaven and in Earth, for He IS a very present help in the time of trouble! So, just hold on, focus on God, be obedient to Him, your victory is on the way! You will not only survive, but THRIVE! You will not only make it, but PROSPER and God will receive the Glory for it all, Amen!
