Wednesday Writing...11/12/19..."I Win; You Lose"

Good Morning,

The enemy prowls the world seeking the ones he can destroy by his evil. However, we have a Holy Lord who has our back and can defeat him if we obey our Savior. Here is a quote from this writing, "Never loose sight of the fact that, no matter what his worst weapons that he brings against us, he is already defeated. In the end he will loose his war against God and God's children."

Let's rejoice the fact that the enemy will never win.

God bless

"I Win; You Lose"

Written by
Corinne Mustafa

Do you suffer spiritual, emotional, and/or physical ups and down? Things will be going along just fine and you are beginning to think you are out of whatever woods you have been stuck in for longer than you are willing be in the forest. You walk out into the sunshine basking in its warmth, and you enjoy the flowers and loveliness that you missed in the shade and cool of the woodlands. Now do not get me wrong; in  the heat of the day the cool shade is appreciated. So, this example could be done with the opposite scenario as well. The point is that when you cannot pick a spot and are stuck. The result is that it is painful, and that is the result of being held captive with few choices of what to do.

There are choices, and the most important one is to keep on keeping on the path as best we can. I found this graphic above and felt that there is a back side compliment in those words. In cases where the devil is after us to make our lives miserable. The good news in this for us is that we are a threat to the devil and his romp through the world to seek and devour. We, who show by our lives that who and how we are, are  a menace to his program. He knows he is defeated, and he hates those who ARE making a godly difference in the world.

Embrace the suffering he brings on us and carry on. Never loose sight of the fact that, no matter what his worst weapons that he brings against us, he is already defeated. In the end he will loose his war against God and God's children. In the meantime we need to hang on to faith and hope remembering that life has its pain and challenges. Remember the scripture by Paul that said:

Dear friends, 

Do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you.  

But rejoice inasmuch as you participate  in the sufferings of Christ,

 so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed. 

 If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, 

you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory 
and of God rests on you.

1 Peter 4:12-14
