Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Him (Christ) who gives me strength.

What is so beautiful about this is that we do not have to fight alone anymore, in our own strength; for it is Christ whom we are hid in and it is He who will fight the oppressor for those that are His.

I will pray that the Lord will bind the lying influences that seek to discourage you and I pray that you will put on the Armour of Christ as you continue to press onward to the Kingdom. Do not be weary or faint of heart!!

That was a great word, Yeshualives! If I learned anything from other Christians, it's that very thing, that we don't have to struggle on our own. It's so much easier to do things ourselves than depend on others to do them for us. I was so independent and self-sufficient - I thought. It took awhile for me to understand that Christ wants to fight our battles for us. If you would look up in your Bible promises of God that apply to your struggle, you can gain a lot of strength just by being reminded that "Greater is He that is within you than he that is in the world."

I think it's great that the first thing you did was acknowledge these as lies from the enemy. First off, we need to recognize this. He is such a lier. It took me a long time to just realize that I was listening to lies from satan, that they were not true, and that God was crazy about me and He understood what was happening. He would fight for me if I asked Him to.

Keep up the good fight of faith! And remember, find it in His Word.

Take some time to find verses in the Word that speak specifically to the areas in which the devil is lying to you. Print them out on business-card sized pieces of card. If you are using a desktop publishing program such as MS Publisher, the easy way is to divide a single sheet into 2 columns by 5 rows, giving you a total of ten cards. Pin them up in the places where you are most likely to see them - on the refrigerator door, in front of the computer monitor etc. Repeat them regularly. Every time the devil comes at you with his lies, counter him with the truth of the Word.

blessings,

Lynn

Dear woundedsoldierofCHRIST do not be discouraged.

Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid (Jn.14:27)

Throughout the Bible this message is repeated many times.
Even the great St. Paul found himself engaged in Spiritual warfare with
“conflicts without, fears within” (2 Corinthians 7:4–6). God exhorted him “do not be afraid” (Acts 18:9) and empowered him to continue in his work in the face of many trials.

Take heart. "Draw near to God and he will draw near to you." (James 4:8)

Good advice ^.

We have to take up our cross, but Satan's not part of it, he doesn't have any rule over you, you can tell him to shut it, you're living for the Lord now. He's really a stupid little snake, you can step on him, we gotta learn not to fear his bark too much. The fear that keeps us out of danger is fearing making our Father angry and hurting Him, not the fear of the lowly dog who's done for when our Jesus comes back.

On top of that, I've found that learning things from scripture gives you a peace of mind that you could get without that knowledge, by just having faith. XD. Easier said than done, right? Not that you don't turn to the word, but when you can't you can rest knowing there's just something that you don't know yet, but you can tell the devil to buzz off, and then rest assured. Even when His word isn't in your mind, He's with you, just focus on Him. If you're not feeling anything it's okay too, you can just be still and know that He is God, and continue walking the way He'd want and loving people, trying to see them through His eyes. We may not know what's going on, but He lives, and His will will be done.

If you walk through hard times, feeling like He's not there, but never turn from Him through it all, think of how much he'll hug and kiss and bless you once you see Him around the next corner! Because you stuck it out by faith, without even needing to be blessed with something of the world to get you by. You pressed in, searched, and waiting on Him.

The more you see His power, the easier it is to believe, but something always comes and complicates things,a nd seams to be more real than the last problem. So remember the simplicity in Christ, and remember that you will face trials, and that scripture, sincere humble prayer, time in worship, and just submitting to His will, will cause things to come together and He'll make all things new, and make grace abound to you. In His time. He is faithful.

God bless you.

You are not on your own brother my prayers are with you,

I had a battle fierce today,
Within my place of prayer;
I went to meet and talk with God,
But I found Satan there,
He whispered, "You can’t really pray,
You lost out long ago,
You might say words while on your knees,
But you can’t pray you know."
So then I pulled my helmet down,
Way down upon my ears,
And found it helped to still his voice,
And helped allay my fears.
I checked my other armour o’er,
My feet in peace were shod;
My loins with truth were girded round,
My sword the Word of God.
My righteous breastplate still was on,
My heart’s love to protect,
My shield of faith was all intact,
His fire darts to defleet.
My courage mounted up afreash,
I gripped anew my sword,
"O Satan, get behind" I cried,
"Oh Glory! Praise the Lord!"
Again his darts came thick and fast,
Faith quenched and put them out;
And while he raised a new attach,
I raised a victory shout.
I called on God in Jesus’ name,
I pled the precious blood,
While Satan sneaked away in shame,
I met and talked with God.



God bless

Praying for you" wounded" And yes I can fully understand that sometimes the battle is in the mind cause if satan can attack the mind he will try to inch in every corner.

But we have the "Sword" which is the Word of God and as we memorize and put the Word into our Spirit that is the greatest threat to him and he knows that .... but we must also realize that he too can quote scripture just as he did with Jesus.... but he twists it so we have to be mindful of the truth. Jesus is the way the truth and the light.
