...And He will draw near to YOU.

Yesterday we left off with me being frustrated! So hopefully today you'll be blessed by God!

I've been going to a women's Bible study called, "Lord, is it warfare? Teach me to stand" by Kay Arthur. We're not doing the videos, but my friend is doing an excellent job teaching.

This study begins by explaining that in battle it is good to know your enemy, his tactics and schemes. It has brought out the facts that Satan is a LIAR, schemer and will do whatever he can to DIVIDE, either God and man or man vs. man.

There IS an invisible REALITY, the spirit world, and if we don't "feel" like we are in a battle then we won't feel the need to fight. "Our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places." Eph. 6:12

This made me start thinking about my family. There is division among us and a lot of stuff that is not God honoring is going on in our home. And I began to think about doing "battle" with the unseen world.The study also has pointed out that as a believer we have the Almighty Power of God within us!! HE is MORE powerful than Satan. Christ has broken the power of sin and death! We are positionally seated with Him in the heavenlies!!! Kay said we should be looking down, seeing our feet dangling from heaven! LOL! It gave me a whole new perspective!!

The God story is not finished!! But hang in there! Tomorrow we shall see how awesome God is!

For today, picture yourself seated in the heavenlies with our Savior! HE has conquered the power of sin and death!! Are you walking in that TRUTH today?! Let it sink in...

DIGGING DEEPER
Psalm 62:6,7
6He only is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress; I shall not be shaken.
7 On God rests my salvation and my glory;
my mighty rock, my refuge is God.
