Be Alert!
Be Alert!
If you have experienced a personal awakening lately; if you have been turning your face towards His Face, bending your knees and kissing the Son (Psalms 2:12), if the lost have stirred your heart to open your mouth, if you are revived, then I have a word from the Lord for you…
Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed. 1 Peter 4:12-13
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. 1 Peter 5:8-11
You are not crazy! Think over the time since you again turned your face to The Lord…Notice anything different? You are being resisted by the enemy. He thinks he is so clever but the devil is only a tool in the Hand of our Precious Savior to make us stronger…If we recognize his tactics and keep pressing forward. Don’t let the enemy outwit you! Keep pressing, keep loving, keep praying and fasting; you aren’t going crazy, you are getting stronger!
Col 4:2 Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with an attitude of thanksgiving;
Thanks Berta , I felt that was for me! Ive been reading about spiritual warfare and attacks so now I know what they are, when they might be coming and how to keep them at bay. I invited a friend from high school to come live with me. Her husband abandon her and her two year old in Texas and I could watch her suffer any more. I invited her with Scotts blessing, she almost had to go to a shelter but God had other plans for her! Shes been here a month and got saved the first week!!! Knowing im working for the Lord, we have to really walk in the spirit here so she can see Jesus!! we are showing her love even when were worn out. (two yr old) Shes been getting attacked too. Satan is mad! Please pray Carrie finds a job. We are trying to fix a car we have so she can drive herself to work. Shes so hungry for God !! This is so exciting!! Jennifer Unangst
