He doesn't want you to succeed



Knowing the enemy’s tactics in your life.

Ephesians 6:11
Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.
Let's take a look at the life of our saviour Jesus. When he was born Satan used herod to become jealous and he tried to get Jesus killed. As soon as jesus was born again (baptised) Satan again swoops in to tear him down by tempted him when he is at his weakest. But Jesus stood his ground in faith of the heavenly Father and in keeping himself focused on the very purpose for which he came to earth. Satan even used scripture to persuade Jesus but nothing took him from the focus of our heavenly Father. Instead jesus used his authority and Satan fled. Jesus in these times is showing us that even at our weakest point where we feel we have nothing left, it's then God is at his strongest and will bring us out.

In all reality if the enemy couldn't keep himself from trying to tear down and rule the saviour of the world then we don't stand a chance of avoiding his works. But.. Stay calm because the bible says 365 times do not fear and if it says it that much, you can be sure that God is serious about the matter. For great is he that lives in me than he who is of this world. Satan will do what he can to intimidate us, shame us, humiliate us, he will fight so we don't succeed in our destiny. But don't be afraid our king, Lord, saviour, brother, friend defeated him when he died on the cross. Jesus said we'd do greater things than he did, and has given us authorities over the strong holds of the enemy. He knows we become a huge threat when he submit to God and resist him.  So let's send him trembling and pray. say no to his tactics and his lies. They will not stand. Gods word promises the truth will always be brought to light. So no matter what is spoken against you, no matter what is done against you to bring you harm and destruction. Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding, for he will guide your path, and bless and honour you for your faithfulness. Speak life giving words over your life. Don't even entertain the lies from the enemy. The bible is full of life giving words, write them down, memorise them, stick them around your house, put them as reminders on your phone. Which ever way works for you. Your are more than a conqueror. A masterpiece. You were fearfully and wonderfully made. Praise Jesus.

Father I thank you for who ever is reading this. Lord I pray the words go forth and do the purpose for which they are sent. I pray you rise up within us confidence in you and your mighty hand. Lord stir up and hunger in us. Help us to stay strong in what your word says even when things get tough and storms are creeping in fast. in Jesus name amen.

be blessed

Unbroken promise

 Hi everyone I know it's been a while since my last blog entry, you see God has taken me and my family through quite the rollercoaster. For a while I had writers block. I had no idea what to say but tonight while trying to sleep, I had a overwhelming sense to talk about the promises of God. I'm not going to start talking about the promises written in the bible all though each one is valid, beautiful and true on their own. What's on my heart are the unsung promises. You know, those you've been waiting for so long to come to pass. The ones where you could so easily just give up on. Them ones. Hallelujah.  Let me take you on the journey we've just had, and in fact we are still going through because the process isn't over. But the giant, daunting hurdle that was the be all or end all in the process, that's done and dusted. Hallelujah, praise be to God.  To make sense of the process we as a family have been through, it would make sense to give you the back story....

Christian under construction

Image
Being a Christian can be hard work at times wouldn't you agree? There are times you think what's the point. Times of pure enjoyment. Times of frustration. Even times where you question if God is real. We all go through these periods in our life. And all of it is because of the spiritual battle that goes on every day of our life. The holy spirit; working on building us up, showing us how God sees us and wants to work through us. As well as the enemy trying to destroy us, by means of society, what we read, what we watch, other peoples opinions. All to make us feel useless, hopeless and a waste of space. All this so we don't reach our potential in christ. Exhausting right. No where in the bible does it say be perfect or your doomed. God knows we will struggle, stumble, fall short. But in his love and grand plan, he designed the precise moment in time where his son Jesus would come and sort it all out with his ultimate sacrifice. But what I can say is God requires us to d...

It's eternity not just sundays

  Have you ever built a lego sculpture? I have, in fact I did recently. A titanic ship and a army war plane. I fully enjoyed this activity and would go as far as saying it's becoming a hobby. But I haven't done this post to talk about Lego, although it is how God chose to get a message across to me.  You see, building a Lego sculpture requires a lot of Lego bricks. From tiny squares to long rectangular one. All shapes and sizes are involved in the making of a beautiful masterpiece. The end result is very rewarding. Each intricate detail that are put together, every block, every pain staking moment getting the tiny delicate pieces together without accidentally breaking the whole thing; requires time, patience and effort. God is the builder in our lives. When we invite him into our lives he works with us, building on a new foundation that is in Christ Jesus. Sometimes it can be hard and painful, especially when we have someone to forgive/ a situation we need let go off, but the ...
