We’re tasked by God to know the enemy’s devices. With that
said, do you know what the enemy is after when he comes your way? Knowing is
ALL the battle!
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation or
distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril or sword? Romans
8:35
The enemy wants to SEPARATE us from the LOVE of Christ! When
hard trials come, know that your love for Christ is being tested. When people
on your job persecute you and falsely accuse you, know that your love for
Christ is being tested. When you’ve paid your tithes, but in this particular
season, ends don’t seem to meet, know that your love for Christ is being
tested.
Everything God allows has a purpose, and oftentimes it’s to
show us where WE are. The enemy doesn’t want nor does he need our love, but he
knows when we love God with all we have, there is an allegiance that cannot be
broken by anyone or any circumstance. As my sister4life preached on yesterday,
How Deep is Your Love?
I know that my love for Christ is being tested. Everything that you have mentioned in this blog is what I have been experiencing for some time now and although sometimes I cry and have a moment of "why me" I know that God is with me. I will continue to keep my focus on HIM for that is where my strength comes from, that is where my peace comes from, through HIM is where my victory will come from. I will sing HIS praises through my trials and tribulations and be a witness to others of how GREAT our GOD is.
ReplyDeleteAnd you're being a witness now! We are overcome by the blood of the lamb and by the "words of our testimonies." Some seasons last longer than others but your "midnight" will come!
