Game On


Go ahead with all you got! Try to break me down til you think you can hurt me... All the pain you inflict will make me stronger!!!

Some of us need to shout that at the devil as loud as we possibly can. In our christian walk, we must realize that there will be struggles, battles, disappointments, etc. But have faith child of the most high! We have to realize that Jesus is coming soon and we cannot let ANYTHING stand in our way of making heaven our home.

We all have and will go through things in our lives. I've found out that whenever you take a stand for God or anything that pertains to Him, you get fought tooth and nail by the enemy. Satan doesn't like it when we stand for Jesus and live right. He knows his time is short and is doing everything in his power to stop us from getting to heaven. But trials and tests come to make us stronger. Remember that God allows things to happen... maybe to see what we're made of. To see if we're gonna plant our feet and stand for Him, or jump ship.

The enemy is out for our souls... So what are we doing about him? To that low-down dirty devil, I say, BRING IT! We must realize we have power with the Holy Ghost and through Jesus name! Deuteronomy 20:4 says, For the LORD your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory'. The enemy knows he's gonna lose... he's just trying to make you lose too.

God is on our side. He will fight our battles and carry our burdens if we'll only let Him. James 1:2 says, 'My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations'. In other words, consider it a gift when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors. So don't try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way.

Paul said in II Timothy 4:7 'I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith'. That's what we must do... KEEP THE FAITH! It's not the end! God has you in the palm of His hand. This is not your time to give up. Even though it may be dark, the sun will shine again. It will pass in time... you're not forgotten. God has you in His hand!

Fight the good fight, keep the enemy in your sights, and NEVER give up!

J.H.
