Keys to a successful Marriage... Marriage is a lifelong partnership between you, your spouse and God...

You are being SET UP!!!

God's children,

This is our position...no retreat no surrender!

   Do not compromise your position, even for a moment is too much time...We are at that place of victory...choose whom you shall serve and God will honor your choice. Reading Nehemiah 4 I was inspired to write to you to encourage you not to judge by what it looks like but rather look with the spiritual eye, you will see the deception set up to detour you, the spiritual won't deceive you unlike the natural eyes.

                                     

   The word of God tells us our thought are not like God's so it does not matter what we think, it matters what God said...the enemy wants us to forfeit our position to the counterfeiters, NOT SO! When we have done all that we can the word of God tell us to stand: Ephesians 6:13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, BE ALERT and always KEEP ON PRAYING for all the Lord’s people.

In order to fight effectively we will need our sword.

   When the attacks hit we must understand that the enemy has studied us first and after careful observation attack our weak areas to break us down( finances, households, marriage, and like areas) and once these have been hit, if we are not in armor we are rendered almost powerless, sometimes too weak to even call on God. When the attack is effective we will almost immediately began to questions God's position in our lives (his position never changed ...ours did) but the enemy knew we would fall for the deception because in observation it was taken notice that we were not spending the time we once did at the feet of God and we were not eating the word as we once did.

   So when things start to hit the household of God our spiritual eye has been nulled due to our own personal attacks so we don't take notice that it is an attack against the body of Christ...we then began to inadvertently assist in the attack by... speaking negatively, walking away, not praying for the body etc. We must also understand that the attacks were allowed in order to get us back in position because yes, our Father in heaven knows that when our stuff is messed with it gets our attention. In the mist of all this He is also exposing our true feelings which may declare our selfishness, pride, self-righteousness etc. See what Jehovah is trying to open our eyes too, it's not our sisters and brothers getting in position (what they may or may not be doing)... it about us. Selfishness always negatively points out what someone else is or not doing and justify in self-righteousness why we ourselves are not doing what you should.

   We must get here...Steadfast, unmovable, always abiding in the word of the Lord and operating in pure love.
