Is Perception 9/10 of the law????????

Good Wednesday everyone! Some call this hump day but, I will call if my Friday. Today is my last day of work this week. Well, at least the last day at the plant anyways. I want to talk about this word perception. Why is it so difficult? Why do we see or hear things sometimes different than then are? Have you ever had someone say or do something and you took it a total different way than they thought you would? I really think this is the devil's way of messing with us. Now, I am not saying that the person is being used by the devil. What I am saying is that the devil can twist words around sometimes and make you hear something different or maybe the person could just be being used by the devil! Lol! Yes, I just did the lol (that means laugh out loud for you older people). Let's dig into some of the good stuff.......

Bible Verse: 1 Peter 5:9 But resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by your brethren who are in the world.

So, what can we do? The devil can be resisted only by faith. We need to stand so strong in our faith that we are immovable even unyielding to the devils schemes. Only as we immerse ourselves in God's Word does the Holy Spirit help us to resist and conquer when in battle with this knucklehead, but cunning adversary.

The battles we experienced are the same kind of battles every believer throughout the world, heck throughout the ages have faced. There are times when we feel that we are the only ones affected by these temptations and difficulties. And they are more than we should have to go through. Don't give into  this false perception, we may resort to self-pity, despair, and even a sense of hopelessness. Peter assures us that this is not how it has to be. Christians in all corners of the world must armor up and get ready to go to battle with Satan, we must be committed to learning the Scriptures and knowing God more. You do not struggle alone in battle. Trust me, I battle to. I battle alongside you. Many share in this battle. Let's unite and be encouragers and up lifter’s in this war against the enemy. Have a great day and God bless.
