It's midnight and God's talking again....honestly not a moment too soon because this Jesus girl needed Him to whisper in some life.
When I look back over the last year, my journey with Him...whew it'll make a shout rise up. I spent too much of my life sitting on the side or in the shallow end...all the while knowing God had plans in that deeper water. He wasn't going to make me come swimming out of my comfort zone,...but He kept after me. You see He saw in me what I couldn't see in myself...what I still struggle at times to see in myself. He saw who He had made me to be. He could see the beauty past the imperfections as many as they are.
Revelation 12:11 says we overcome by the word of our testimony...the verse right before talks about Satan being an accuser. Stay with me a minute....The enemy knows the power in our words which is why he does his best to distract us from remembering that power. The accuser, the deceiver....knows exactly where our weak spots are....he pushes on them....until we push back with God's word. ..and remind him that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us.
We don't overcome the enemy by thinking about what he is doing but on remembering what God has done for us already and what God is going to do for us. Don't let the enemy tell you what he is going to do...tell him what God is going to do.
The power of life and death are in the tongue.....Our words should be His words period. Easier said than done...(I know my mouth...well let's just say I already asked God to redeem and restore it...)
