Friend, Jesus is walking before you into your daily battles.

Evil is your foe. Demonic forces use people and worldly things to keep your head turned towards them and not God.

We must learn to differentiate between what God says is allowed and what evil tells us is allowed!

The Bible is the place to learn what God has to say about following Him.

Have you decided that you want Pure Love or pure evil?

We make a choice whether we think so or not. If we do not choose God and His Son, Jesus like He lays out for us in the Bible, then He says we have chosen to follow after evil and it's master, satan; God's adversary.

But, friend, God, being God, is going to win the war.

Satan has already been sentenced and He is undergoing part of his sentence right here on earth and in the air around us.

God's Word, the Bible tells us this.

For whatever reason that is Perfect to God, we are born into this evil infected world.

It is for His Purposes that we are given this blessing of a life here.

When we align ourselves, body mind and spirit with God and turn away from the evil one's advances, we can have a different life. The struggles will still be there, but God is also there and He will show us the way to overcome evil.

He perfects us for His Purposes in this world and in the afterlife with Him.

He has big plans for us!

His heart and our hearts must be joined in perfect unison of Love!

Yesterday I got some not so good health news but when I got back to my car, I sat and praised Him because it is a new journey that He wants me to take and I am willing.

Evil would like to destroy the life I have, but God will make something better of it because of my willingness to obey and praise him in the valley, not just the mountaintop experiences.

God is Sovereign and I do not need to be worried about myself.

Nor do you when you have given your self to Him.

Friend, it is imperative that we learn to be still and be silent before the Lord.

This is where He speaks and we can truly hear the "secrets" that are just for us. The ones that show us the Way, that enlighten our deepest doubts, that fill us with newfound knowledge which engender Holy joy.

There is so much Jesus can accomplish with us when we are silent and still before Him.

Find that place and make the time to allow this to become a regular part of your communication with Him. It is a form of worship; laying humbly before Him , focused on Him and receiving from Him.

Yield to the Beauty and Truth that is Jesus. Listen for His answers to your life's problems; your questions about the Kingdom, His Godhood, life eternal, even what you do not understand about evil.

You will get your answers when He sees that you are ready to receive.

Listen attentively. Never question His Truth. But find a Way to understand by asking all your little insignificant questions.

He will answer.

Friend, it's important to discipline the mind so that the thoughts are brought under subjection to the Will of God.

Certain ways of thinking that would not please God must be eliminated and for it to "stick' it's best we discipline ourselves. The Holy Spirit and Jesus are there to help us and we will be able to do it with them, but they will not take the thoughts away because it is best for us to overcome with their help.

This goes for all things; food, cigarette, alcohol, drug addictions and bad actions like anger, revenge, pride and boasting, selfishness, other belief systems and so on.

Walking just a minute at a time following Jesus and having the attitude of the Saviour, remembering how He went to the Cross sinless, but thinking of us, how He loves us and wants us to be children of the Kingdom of God.

Prayer or "communication" with our Lord will help as will practising turning deep within to God and meditation on who He is.

The goal should be that we form new habits; Godly ones, those pleasing to Him.

As we clean up our lives we need to fill those empty spaces with Love, praise, worship and the Word (Bible study).

Having "new words,"  Scripture Verses to use instead of our old filthy, demeaning, angry words is the Way to successful renewing of our mind, body and spirit.

It is not hard to do when you have the Son of God helping you! ( The Word of God = The Son of God.)

Friend, be truthful!

Are you struggling against God?

This is fear of change.

Why fear the one who knows everything about you, anyway?

Think about that for a moment.

There is nothing He has not seen or heard, even your thoughts are laid bare before Him.

Yet, He still allowed His Son to die so you could be called an adopted child of His.

His Son, a Pure and Holy Son, was sent to the slaughter for your sins, not His. God does not sin. No, Jesus paid the price for your sins.

What is there to fear?

Oh, your life might change!

Maybe you will change and He will keep you in the same circumstances so He can reach others through you.

Who knows, maybe everything will change.

But, wouldn't He be Trustworthy to have all your good as His intent?

Yes, He would!

It's simple, give up the struggle against Him, this very moment.

Be the clay and allow Him to mold you into His Son's likeness.

Friend, are you desiring a full spiritual life?

Withdrawing from the physical life whenever you have the chance is the answer.

We have to provide for ourselves and loved ones by going to work everyday, yes. But whenever we can, we need to be fully facing God with a heart full of reverence, a soul that's filled with humility and a spirit willing to be taught great knowledge.

When we have this attitude towards growing spiritually, God is drawn to that soul and cannot help Himself from filling us with all we need to grow in Kingdom Grace.

You will find answers to your problems and issues in this life. It will seemingly be by osmosis. The air around us changes, we seem to be on a different spiritual plane than unbelievers, yet we see that they too, can easily ascend to that plane.

Faith and belief is everything to God. That's what He requires for us to move fluidly through life with Him at the helm.

It doesn't matter where you are in your journey, age-wise, health-wise, belief-wise.

He will meet you where you are. Young or old, infirm or healthy, unbelieving or believing.

He has all you need and want and He is Willing to give to you according to His Will for your life.

He knows all the paths you have taken. He has heard all you have had to say about Him. He knows the Way forward.

Make the time to withdraw from the physical and allow your spirit to behold the Holy Spirit who waits for your acquiesence.

May God bless you as you make time for Him.
