Greetings!
Today, the preacher spoke from the theme, "You will not get under my skin." That message really stayed with me. One, because I know there have been times in my life when I have let people do just that, and two because doing that means that you have control over me...
What he was saying is that when we allow others to make us angry, we are allowing them to be our idol. I know, right? We don't usually think of it that way, but that is exactly what that means. And, here's the thing...that anger can cause us to delay our blessing, it can cause us to abort our assignment, and it can cause us to live a life beneath the abundant life God has promised us. We cannot allow people to make us so mad that we destroy the assignment God has placed on our lives. When he said those words I understood it in a way that I hadn't thought of before.
My pastor said recently that the enemy does not give up. He is not going to stop because we have had victory in a few areas. No, he just increases or intensifies his attacks. He's not going to stop, not as long as we are followers of Christ. He wants us to stay focused on anything but what God is calling us to do. Our problem is that we keep letting him.
Not anymore...from now on, we are going to stay the course. We are going to stay focused on the One who has put us in position, because if God be for us, who can stand against us. Our God is bigger than anything the enemy can throw at us. The Bible says that greater is He that is in us than he who is in the world. We already have the victory, we just have to start walking it out...
Until next time...
Be blessed
