Fighting Earthly Affections
I definitely know how hard it is…
It felt like everyday the devil was attacking me with a different scheme
Even when I was running to the Word I still remembered that desire
Even as I tried to run away from that thought I kept forgetting it was the state of my mind
Even as I tried to distract myself with all sort of things I kept on forgetting that I couldn’t do it on my own
Even as I continuously blamed myself for my wrongdoings I kept on forgetting that he has already forgiven me for that
I definitely know how hard it is to let go of the things of the world because when I was of the world I was fully soaked with all sort of worldly things
My mind had no room for the Lord or His word
My heart had no place for purification
The Holy Ghost felt uncomfortable to say I was His dwelling place
I seemed fine on the outside but I was slowly and surely dying on the inside
During those times I forgot who had already overcome the world
I wasn’t aware of the amazing sacrifice that had already taking placeI was unaware of the everlasting satisfaction because I had only had a taste of temporary satisfaction I didn’t know what was on the other side The joy of the Lord is more than amazing because it’s literally a trait of a Christ follower not a season for a Christian.
I remember thinking I was the lowest of the lowest and there was noway I could see myself in deeper dimensions of the Spirit but if that’s the Lord’s will then it will come to pass
There was a season of my life that I never rested and I remember asking the Lord why I wasn’t leaving certain seasons. I remember so clearly when He told me that I am going to help someone overcome the same season in the near future. To anyone who thinks he/she is too dirty for the Lord, stop allowing the devil to deceive you because Jesus came to save the lost not the people who already know Him.
He is literally waiting for you and only you
He can’t wait for you to get on your knees and surrender it all to Him.
And to those who are going through a lot right now…just stay calm and breathe
Just stay quiet and listen to Him
Just stay still and know that He’s in control
Have faith that whatever is worrying you isn’t your end (Isaiah 41:10)
See, with Jesus even death is victory
See, you cannot stop heavenly activities with man made blockages
No matter what scheme the devil tries to use against you, it’s not stopping what God has planned for you
Remember that!
