God is AMAZING!

OK ... I confess ... My past 2 days have been filled with fear and doubt.

I can sit here and teach and preach to you all day long about God's promises. I can tell you how they apply to you and how you need to stand firm on God's Word. I can teach you how the enemy, Satan, may come against you but how he is powerless in God's presence.

When my husband went home to be with our Lord this past June, God stepped right in and gave my son and I the love and comfort we needed. He wrapped us in His arms and directed us with his divine grace. He led us to move to Indiana where we could be with some of our family. He had me approved for an apartment that I wanted but never dreamed of being approved for. He lined up my pastor to do the actual 300 mile move for us. He arranged the assistance of my fabulous cousins to take off from their jobs to come help empty the trailer and get us moved in.

My son and I have been living in amazing peace ever since the move. We are provided with enough funds to meet our necessary needs each month. This peace is like none I have ever experienced before and can only come from God. It's the peace He promises we can live in if we put our lives in His hands.

Because of this wonderful peace I have been blessed with, I have been motivated to start this blog. I want all of you to move into this same perfect peace that God has promised each of us. I started this blog in order to teach, encourage and strengthen your personal relationship with Jesus Christ. I want you to learn to walk in the Holy Spirit and live each day of your life in victory and peace!

Well, Satan had me going for a while. For especially these past 2 days, I have been tormented with fear and doubt that my peace will come to an end soon. He reminded me of how he has rule over this earth and attacks peoples lives. (note: God gives Satan that right only for the time being.) He reminded me how he could walk right in and rip my finances right out from under me. (He attacks my finances because he knows that is my weak point in my life.) He had me so scared I was actually beginning to panic over what COULD happen.

God saw me in my turmoil, stepped in and reminded me Satan is a liar!! 

He reminded me of 1 Peter 5:8-11 where He tells us:
8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

And He reminded me of John 10:10 where He tells us: The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

As for being afraid that if I continue my blog, Satan will attack me, God asked me "Who is stronger, Me or Satan?" Of course I said, "You, Lord". Then he proceeded to remind me that I am inspired by Him to write on this blog each day. It is my "job". He brought me into this place in my life so I could do this "job" for Him and reach others. He is in control and has me working in His peace and safety.

Glory to God in the Highest and on earth Peace, Good Will to all Men!

Yours in Christ's Service,
