Dealing With Stumbling Blocks In Your Life
Romans 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?
Romans 15:13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
There are some battle tactic's satan uses to hinder the Lord's presence in our lives every minute of the day. He will target your confidence in the Lord, your personal am I good enough mess, and other people with persecution etc.
I understand one thing in any war or battle, if you do not know your enemy you will lose. So suck in my gut and learned how this crazy fallen angel works. 1st his whole operation with many attacks and plots is one goal, to separate us from the Love of Christ.
The source of your salvation, ((His Spirit))
You can ignore it and you can be all cocky and not prepare for his attacks daily, a choice smart one? Not trying to scare you or even give anyone a hard time. But the facts are this guy hates us and will do anything I mean anything, to separate us from the Lord.
Some people exclude satan, hell, and demonic forces, and that well goodness? One thing off the subject, we are not selling Jesus lol, it's ok to preach the entire truth, open hearts will respond the others well, watered down or not,
will reject it any way you present it.
And yes satan uses people, trust me I know, bothers me, it's like thinking, wish you knew, you are serving your enemy??? I mean anyone out of the presence of the Lord as sitting ducks to demonic forces.
The only thing that can whoop satan daily in your life, is simply said there in Romans 15:13, may the hope of God overflow in the power of the Holy Spirit. When that is applied in life we are fully protected from any demonic force.
And when that happens, what happens?? Satan knows that, so he uses people. lol It's sad but I get we are going to make you a sinner threats lol. I'm thinking really?? are you sure?? and why?? lol.
I know why, but you think about it, it's sad, they see that joy, contentment and confidence, and want to take it from you. Sigh its an everyday battle, crazy people saying you will be a sinner again and the Lord saying no no no no, and gives His fullness to prevent it.
But the trick is the Lord is so willing to let us win every battle within yourself, with a simple prayer of Lord I need you today. I tell ya, I have to say I can't stand my old nature and independent from the Lord, it was empty and just nothing I want, I love having His love everyday brighten my day, truly something I'm thankful for and I know I ((need)) daily.
I don't care, what people teach once saved always saved, its a done deal, lazy withered Christian.com. I look to what has made me the man I am today and it was seeking His love and wisdom apart from the hearsay of men.
And I get excited when I hear others testify the same testimony.
Here are some things that help me daily to with stand satanic attacks. The Cross made me good enough and worthy of His Love ((daily)). Only one that can separate me from the Lord is me. The opinion of men and women apart from the Lord's Spirit is meaningless and is not needed for my salvation.
I don't need to harp on my sin and shortcomings, I need to continue to receive Him daily and the Spirit will bear conscience, I'm wrong and I will stop.
