Greetings!
 
This procrastination thing has gone to a whole new level. It is showing up everywhere…at work, at home, even at church. I am not sure when it started, but instead of it going away—it seems to be picking up speed. Not only am I not writing like I should be, I am not eating right, and I haven’t been to the gym since July. I am waiting until the week of an event to get prepared, I am not studying for my classes, and even reading the Word is taking a back seat. I obviously have been taking this issue too lightly, and, that is exactly what the enemy wants me to do. Satan is our enemy, and he wants to destroy us. That may be his goal, but the Bible says, “Greater is He that is in you, than he who is in the world.” 1 John 4:4 (KJV)

I thought that the reason I had been procrastinating was because of laziness, but, I have learned that it is more than that. I have been fighting against a spirit that does not want to give up easily. That just let me know that God is about to do something great in my life, and the enemy does not want that thing to happen. That probably sounds crazy to most people, but as children of God, we war in the spirit…meaning we can’t fight the enemy on his turf—we have to fight him on ours. In Mark 9:29 it says, “Some things only come out by prayer and fasting.” One of my best friends just recently told me that I needed to fast, but I wasn’t ready. I still felt like I needed to be more disciplined…that maybe if I just worked harder, I could get back on track. That is definitely a trick of the enemy. This battle is not mine…it’s the Lord’s, and I need to get out of His way.

I know that there are many people out there going through the same thing that I am, and feeling defeated, but God is telling me to let you know that no weapon formed against us shall prosper. He has called us to a specific purpose, and nothing can stop it. It may take a while for us to catch up to it, but it is still there. Don’t give up…God is still in control. He hasn’t moved…we have. Now, we just have to get back into position.

Stay tuned…there is more to come.

Until next time…

Be blessed!
