“This is how I fight my battles”
How many of you sang the song when reading the title of this blog. I was singing it right before I was prompted to write. We’re certainly in the midst of a Spiritual Warfare in every area, just look around you and you’ll see a lot of “strange” things happening. We are being prepared for something bigger than us. The devil is at war for our soul and God and His Army is winning! A lot of people are being deceived and think the enemy has won and is winning… but he’s not cause even he knows that his time is up and he’s trying to get as many people caught up as he possibly can. DON’T BE ONE OF THEM! So how do I fight my battles you may ask…
Seek God first! Before taking any steps in anything you do… pray about it! Sometimes you may not get the answer right away, other times it may not be what you want to hear, and many times it may be a go ahead you’re on the right path! But either way you know God always has your best interest at heart! Whatever answer you may get, just know it is for your greatest good. God will never stir you in the wrong direction… but Rae… How do I know if it’s God talking to me and not the devil deceiving me… You’ll know, God speaks to our heart, His voice is calming and soothing and there is usually a confirmation of some sort after He speaks to you. The devil is in your face and usually comes as some sort of distraction.
Know that God is in control! This is pretty much self explanatory… God is our creator and He created you and I for a purpose! Power and Might are in His Hands and He will do anything for you as long as you put Him first!
Depend solely on God! This is hard to do especially after being let down by so many people. But we have to remember that God is not man! He will never leave or forsake us! He wants us to trust that He can and will do ALL things for our greatest good!
Remember God is faithful and His promises are always true! This has saved me time and time again from things and people that don’t serve my purpose in God! God never fails, so why should He start now and with you?! He fights those who fight us, and keeps us safe during storms. We seem to forget that though especially when the storm is out of control, but you must make it a habit to tell yourself this when things don’t seem to be going right.
Worship God at all times! A lot of times when people hear Worship, they automatically think about singing church songs, listening to gospel music, being in church and putting your hands up during praise and worship… God doesn’t really care how you worship Him. He just wants you to create a time where its just you and Him. A time where you open your heart and let Him in. A time where you are able to hear Him speak and breathe life into your soul. He just wants ALL of you!
Thank God for His goodness in your life, for all He has done, all He is doing, and all He is about to do. You gotta have faith that God is doing whatever it is you’re asking Him to do! So whats a better way to bringing it to fruition other than thanking Him in advance for what you are seeking. Once you get yourself in that groove of already having what you’re seeking, the manifestation happens! All you really need is a mustard seed of faith.
Now I know many of you read this and are saying… well all this is easier said than done Rae. It’s hard at first but you have to keep practicing and doing. We all fall short time and time again. But you must never give up and give in to the devil’s tricks. He wants you to give up and that’s the thing about the free will God gives us… He wants to give us the choice to choose the outcome of our lives. The devil will throw everything and the kitchen sink to keep us from living our best lives with and in God.
