Often times, when something doesn’t make sense I have this automatic reaction to think I have done something wrong. I have caused a situation to change and because of me, the world is turned upside down. In some cases, that is true. But I’m talking about those moments when nothing make sense. When it feels…

Have you ever started a new hobby? New craft? A new job where you had to learn something you’ve never done before? Where you perfect the first time? Second time? Chances are no. None of us are perfect as Christ. We fail at things and it’s a perfect opportunity to learn. Sometimes when I’m trying…

I like to think of the testing of our faith as a squeeze. A faith that cannot be tested cannot be trusted. I come to believe there are a few ways our faith is tested. Our Heavenly Father tests us to see if our faith is real. Satan temps us to stumble us. That the…

I started noticing a pattern in my walk with Jesus. After great spiritual truth comes weariness and the squeeze. Have you ever just felt exhausted when you discover a mighty truth? I had spent days pouring over discovering who my real enemy is and how to arm myself against his attacks. I felt exhausted. Not…

#5 Helmet of Salvation And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Ephesians 6:17 The word salvation here can be translated deliverance and sanity. A mind under the control of God is the mind of Christ. I had been living in pure insanity. My actions…

There came a point in this journey that evil was very real and present in our lives. Satan has used people to oppress me, use me, abuse me, and then toss me out like garbage when that use no longer served their selfish desires. I couldn’t understand it. I couldn’t understand the human condition called…

When we get it into our hearts, that the sole purpose of satan is to destroy us to get at God, we have to understand his tactics. Yesterday I wrote about how he attacks the character of God by lying about the love God has for us. Satan wants us to believe Gods doesn’t love…

I started to learn that Satan and his minions are pretty sinister. I learned how demons come at us on the outside and inside, and if you’re not saved, how demons completely posses a person. Part of the verses from 1 John 2 had me wondering a bit. For all that is in the world,…
