Strongholds

2 Cor. 10:4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds)

How often do we have a place where the enemy has dug in and will not let go? This is referred to as a stronghold. Then we try to fight the enemy with our willpower and our strength.

No one has ever overcome Satan’s strongholds by sheer will and strength. It takes God to help us.

Strongholds are lies we tell ourselves that keep us bound. Until we accept God’s truth about the situation we will stay bound. It is when we quit telling ourselves we are stuck that we truly find freedom.

If Christians could learn to not listen to the lies of the enemy, we would be free from ever falling into a situation that is a stronghold in the first place.

So, identify the strongholds and ask God to help you to tear down the strongholds of the enemy.

BE BOLD, BE BRAVE AND KEEP YOUR GOD FOCUS.

Reflections

We often do a lot of reflecting over the past year at the beginning of a new year. We find much lost motivation to change and make life better. We look to the future with hope that the upcoming year will be a good year. Everyday, should be met with such hope that the old is gone. Our past is that, where we have been. The future is what God has ordained. Look to him today as you think about the future; because only what is done walking in God’s love counts. ❤️ BE BOLD, BE BRAVE AND KEEP YOUR GOD FOCUS.

God Is With Us

I sit in my quiet living room this evening and thank God for his many blessings. Life gets tough sometimes and we often feel like the pressure of the waves is going to be too much to bear.

Then I am reminded that I am not in the swift current alone. Jesus is there reaching out his hand and pulling me up so I can breathe.

He is our life, our breath, our strength. We are never alone he is with us.

May you have a blessed week ahead. Be bold, be brave and keep your God Focus.

GOD CANNOT FAIL

Deut. 31-6 Be strong and of good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

Fear is all around us, trying to close in on us. If you watch the news for any length of time you will be scared and depressed. I am not saying we should bury our heads in the sand and pretend everything is fairy dust and unicorns. We need to be wise and not allow the news to be our emotional navigation. The word of God should guide us, not the media. The word says to not fear for God is with us. We need to stand on that word. It is our guide. We belong to a loving heavenly father that cares about what happens to us. He will not fail us. Take in those five words. HE WILL NOT FAIL US. Say it out loud. Many things in this life will fail us, people will fail us, and family sometimes fails us, but God will never fail us. Even if he doesn’t give us the answers we want when we pray sometimes, it is not a failure on his part. It means he knows best and has answered no. Later down the road we often understand why he said no. Regardless of his answers, he cannot fail. The Bible is full of his promises to us. I like to think of it as a LOVE letter to his bride. It is full of battles won; declarations of his love for us. It shows his character and strength. It shows how he will protect his bride from the evil one. It ends with the total destruction of the evil one and all of his servant. If you find yourself feeling hopeless, remember you belong to a God that cannot fail.
