Does it seem like the minute someone makes a decision to give their lives to God wholeheartedly for the first time or for a mature follower of Yeshua (Jesus) who is growing more in the things of God, that every force on and under the earth attempts to throw them off course? That's because it is! God has a destiny that He desires, while we are on this earth, to walk in the fullness of. In order to do so, however, we must learn to recognize the attacks that come up against and develop our spiritual weapons in order to be victorious in every situation we are faced with. The Bible states that the rain will fall on the just and the unjust. Proverbs states that those who have an ear to hear the reproofs of life (learning from life's lessons) will abide among the wise. Everything we go through is intentional. Now the intent can be from God to refine us to become more like Him (shedding off more of our old nature to become that new creature) or from our adversary the devil to knock us off course in hopes that we will never do what God intended for us to do on earth. The Bible is the inspired Word of God (God breathed) and we can be hopeful and rejoice in every opposition and trial that comes our way when we know and believe God's truth that He is making us stronger, wiser, and more fearless for His glory in the earth. The assurance of the following scripture from Ps. 71:20-21 declares, "20Thou, which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth. 21Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side."
Always in Love,
