Do you ever feel like you are too puny for the mighty weapons God has for you? This morning that is what I am struggling with. I know I don't wrestle against flesh and blood....but against rulers of darkness.( Eph 6:11-18) Boy, do I feel like I am in the ring. In fact, I feel like I am in multiple rings. I was crying out…

My Beloved Sisters, My heart hears you......I may not know the exact trials you are facing but I do know we all are under attack. Congratulations! Time to put on our dancing shoes! For the enemy only attacks those who are advancing in His kingdom. Don't give up! My afternoon was spent in calling your names before our Lord.…

:heart: Sister Nicolette, I am so happy to hear that you are pressing on. When I was praying for you, I felt like I was supposed to tell you that these valleys are places that you are passing through. They may feel like death and in a way they are because they are places you get to crucify the flesh. Yet, they are not…

Amen Zoey! Yes, I need to keep in my constant focus that He has gone on before me in this battle and has already defeated the enemy! My position is walking out that victory.

My Dearest Most Precious DonnaLynn, Boy, did I need to be reminded of this today. I am being bombarded with high priced tombs ads. :wink: I was tempted to dwell in some of the nicer "feeling ones." Your post reminded me that the Lord is my dwelling place! THE LORD IS MY DWELLING PLACE! Praise God! No dwelling in deception!…

Psalm 91:2 (AMP) 2 I will say of the Lord, He is my Refuge and my Fortress, my God; on Him I lean and rely, and in Him I [confidently] trust! Today, I read this scripture and what I heard is so powerful. I heard this: What am I saying of the Lord? What I am saying shows what is a vital necessity to me. I usually speak…

Oh Zoey, How I love what you are bringing to this study. I loved doing your exercise. There is always such a richness to what you share. Since I read your post I have been really letting my thoughts soak in the divinity of God. It so amazing how powerful it is to stop and consider any one of those three attributes when I…

Ali, I just want to encourage you. I believe that your weigh in was a very important thing. Your month has been filled with much battle and much war fare. The enemy saw an unguarded area and attacked. Of all the things he could have attacked you in, why did he chose this one? What was the strategy? He saw a way to tip you…

My Dearest DonnaLynn, Truthfully, I must tell you I cried when I read your post. For again you expanded what I couldn't put into words. For so long my relationship with God has been about my failures. I never read enough, prayed enough, did enough. I just plain was not enough. How can my relationship with God grow when I…

Sweetest Friend Nicolette, :heart: I so identify with you.....I too, at times can get so caught up in the word but totally ignore it other times. That is one of the strategies of enemy. To keep us busy and distracted. This is why this process is so good for us. It helps us recognize it and change it. It helps us be…

Strategy #4 Distraction Examples: Me, sitting in church, planning out my grocery list. Me, in worship, eyes closed, hands raised, asking God what I should put on my menu for next week. Me, praying for our nation, then wondering why this politician said this or that. Plan of attack: LOOKING AT JESUS Hebrews 12:1-2 (AMP) 12…

Gwen, It is so good to have a united goal.....to live in the Spirit so we won't full fill the lusts of the flesh. Thank you for the reminder. Here is the scripture in different versions for us to mediate on. I am filling myself up with His word. :bigsmile: :drinker: Romans 8:5 (AMP) 5 For those who are according to the…

I believe it is both.....why-arehea and why constipation.....:bigsmile: My Dear Friend, Well done! You let His grace be perfect in your weakness. You are shaking up the gates of hell because you are practicing obedience even in the midst of an emotional storm. You are my hero! I feel so excited each time one of you presses…

DonnaLynn, I loved your creative spark. It sparked this in me::bigsmile: To fire your case: STOP: before you decide, before you go, before you speak, before you act, in the midst of your thoughts DROP: humble your heart to ask for His plan, His perception, His direction, His words, His thoughts ROLL: run with it! Obey with…

Michelle, Thank you for sharing. I am amazed how I always need to hear this truth over and over and over again. Why worry? Today, I was worry over having to leave work sick. Your post was just what I needed to remind me that I am not to worry. Here is the scripture the Lord brought to my heart as I read your post.…

Dearest Donnalynn, Great Question: How do I determine whether Satan led me into something and the struggle is legitimate, or God led and the struggle thoughts are the enemy's attempt to thwart God's plan? I have been talking with the All Powerful, All Knowing One about how to answer. :bigsmile: It is my understanding that…

Strategy #3 What is my orientation? This morning I woke up with the word "Orient" in my heart. I looked it up on Dictionary.com and here is what I found: to adjust with relation to, or bring into due relation to surroundings, circumstances, facts, etc. to place in any definite position with reference to the points of the…

Strategy #2 Did you know that the enemy uses more than one strategy to come against us? As I have been seeking the Lord about this, He is really causing me to see very plain and clear. Since, I am battling sickness in my body, I was feeling quite exhausted today. I heard this in my heart " Jenni can you wear out God?" I…

Zoey, this is wonderful and so thought provoking. I love so many things about what you have shared. This statement is so true: If you give an inch to a fool…he will own the ruler. Why give Satan an inch…he will place a stronghold. This makes me want to check and double check that all my thinking be given and submitted to…

Donnalynn, You are a woman after the heart of God. :heart: I love to see you learning and applying His word. How my heart is rejoicing to God's work in you.

Hello Ladies who walk in the Truth! So I have been giving thought to recognizing the strategy of the enemy. Here is what it looks like in my life. Fear, anxiety, agitation and uneasiness. Whenever I think a thought that brings on these feelings it is an immediate red flag for me. Yesterday, my daughter, who has just…

Kristy, God has so many possibilities for you. :flowerforyou: Now is your time to learn how to look with new eyes and see new things. For so many years I spent my time speaking about the problems and about what I didn't have. Till one day, God spoke to my heart through the movie Pollyanna, of all things. Pollyanna taught…
