Good morning everyone! Today is going to be a good day. We went down to the park for a while last night. It was really nice and enjoyable until that cold wind started blowing in off the lake and we were not prepared for it. That brings me to todays topic. I hope you brought your shovel so we can dig into some of His good stuff.............
What happens after you go to a great conference, having an amazing revival, or a powerful Sunday morning service. You come out with wind under your wings and your batteries recharged. We come out or back saying "that was amazing, I am so pumped." But, guess what happens? Here comes Satan and some of the greatest spiritual defeats you will ever have will follow some of your highest spiritual victories. Take a look at Jonah, Moses, and Elijah all these men had to learned this. What is up with that? Why?
It might just be that we feel that we are at the top of the mountain. What could happen to us? Or maybe we're tired and feel we can just chill for awhile. In our minds we're thinking, God blessed us and gave us a great victory? But then we forget one thing. The devil is clever, sneaky, and very evil. He has his timing down to an art and he knows just when to pull the rug out from under us. Here is some advice. I know we get blessed from these mountain top experiences. There is no doubt about that. But, we can't ride on yesterday's coattails. See, God made us so that we can't live by yesterday's experiences. We must live by Christ day by day. Let's look at it this way and see if it works. Every time you experience victory, be on your guard. 1 Peter 5:8 say's "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour." So, be ready!! Stay focused of Jesus and Satan will fall to the wayside. Have a great day, I love you, and God bless.
