If you have been reading my blogs I hope that you have enjoyed them!!!! I also hope that God has used each blog to help you in your life. I'm trying to keep it on my mind now to pray for everyone that reads each blog, and pray that the Lord uses the words I write in a positive way, and the words that I write aren't even my words, that they are His just being sent through me.
Let's talk about Satan. He is a freaky dude, and he's really not cool......at all. Haha. The reason I say let's talk about him is because a friend of mine is going through a struggle right now and he is starting to figure everything out in his walk with Christ. Like stuff that he says just puts me in awe sometimes, and it's just so awesome because I'm like, "Dude you've got it!!!!! You're exactly on the right path!!!!!" and he does have it, and if he keeps going in the direction he's going now then God's destination for him is seriously gonna be awesome! (see how I did that, I used yesterday's blog title there haha)
But the place that's getting him right now is that Satan is just filling his head with all this stuff, and when he goes to pray and ask the Lord for strength Satan just starts piling on more junk.
Satan doesn't want us to succeed in God's will, he wants us to fail and fail miserably. And if we don't keep staying persistent praying to the Lord for strength and guidance then we won't be able to make it through on our own. We need God all the time, but we really need God when Satan is attacking us, we aren't strong enough to hold Satan off forever without the strength of the Lord helping us.
The way Satan gets into your mind can be so tricky too, he's a lot smarter than we think. When we are fulfilling what the Lord has planned for us that's when Satan comes in, and he starts filling your mind with all these thoughts, making you question yourself, making you think if what you did was right or if you should have waited to do what you did. We just have to be deep in prayer with the Lord at these times and just listening to God for what He is saying to us, and listening very intently.
The reason I say listening very intently is because when Satan comes to get us he will use our strengths against us, to ruin everything we have done to build our relationship with the Lord. If Satan knows you care about people a lot and that you just want to help them, he can use that against you to make you question what you did, if you should have really stopped hanging out with those people who were getting you into trouble and bringing you down. The answer is YES you should have totally done what you did, because if you felt the Lord prompting you to do it, then it was totally the correct thing to do.
We have to guard ourselves from Satan's attacks. He will always make it seem like what he tells you is good. You can see this in scripture in the garden of Eden when the serpent is talking to Eve, Genesis 3:1-7, or especially in Matthew 4:1-11. Satan comes to Jesus, in Matthew 4, and tempts Jesus with scripture! He was trying to make Jesus fall in a trap by using the Lords word against Jesus the Son of God!!!!! Jesus is awesome though and shut that dude down with some more scripture though! Because while Satan was using scripture, he wasn't using all of scripture, just the parts that made him sound right.
We must not fall into what Satan is trying to trick us into doing. He is a tricky fellow, and he knows how to get us, but you know what he can't do? Satan can't beat God, ever, and Satan can't beat us when we have God keeping us strong and when we are strong in the Lord. Watch for the tricks Satan will use, and always stay faithful in the Lord that He will give you the strength and the power to get through anything.
I hope this made sense. I really don't know if it did because I didn't even know what I was going to start writing till I wrote it. I pray that the Lord uses this to help someone and that it will help you see something the Lord is showing you, because just in writing this it has shown me stuff that God is showing me.
I'm praying for you all.
