If the world hates you, ye know that it hated Me before it hated you.
John 15:18
I thank God for all the situations that I must face from day to day...
John 15:18
I thank God for all the situations that I must face from day to day...
I believe the Lord has been training me to always have strong faith and good spiritual wisdom and discernment. I am learning how to handle every problem that arises, not using my own limited abilities, but instead learning to use the guidance and wisdom of the Holy Spirit.
I really think I am on the Devil's "Most Wanted" list as the spiritual warfare is oftentimes so very intense. It seems as if there is one challenge after another.
Satan will come at me, as he would come against any Christian, both as a "roaring lion" or as an "angel of light." There are Wiccans and satanists who hate me intensely. And they make their hatred known. There are people, too, who will feign interest in me in seemingly kind ways. But in due time the Lord will reveal to me that they have a different agenda. So I must always use caution, and I must stay close to the Lord.
In addition, there are people who would love to destroy and devour the ministry God has given me. Their hatred goes beyond explanation. I have nothing against anyone. I pray for these people, and for all my enemies, both known and unknown. Some hate me for the past, which I regret with all my heart but cannot change. Others hate me for my bold witness for the Lord and for the way God has blessed my life today.
And of course the Devil and all his demons hate me because I belong to Jesus, and I have been washed in His precious blood. I have been adopted into sonship with God the Father, and I am now a citizen of heaven. These are more than enough reasons for the Devil to fume and rage. Amen!
