I recently got back from a Great Awakening conference in OKC. The presence of the Holy Spirit ran through everyone in that place! It was so tangible that you could stretch out your hand and grab it! The worship, each presenter and everyone in attendance- all received the Holy Spirit in a new way.
I can barely put this experience into words. I was definitely dipped into the fullness of the Holy Spirit and I’m not going back! On the flip side….. the enemy hasn’t let up either. I know that he’s not creative and uses old material, but can he just take a vacation and let me enjoy the Spirit for even a week???
There’s so much I want to say, but I’m distracted by the smallest whisper of you’re not enough, you’re not worthy, no one wants to hear what you have to say…. which is bull crap! My Father wants to know what I have to say! He wants everything I want and more!
So listen up Devil!! Your not keeping me down! Get out of my head- GOD’s got me! I choose JESUS!
Our enemy is so patient. He waits until we are in our highest and our lowest to seep in and dig into our minds. He lies to us. He’s whole goal is to get us farther and farther from the truth. God’s truth! In my situation, he pulls from my past and plants thoughts in my head. Good thoughts. Always something in line with the grass is greener… type of thoughts. I’m sure you can think of one or two that he’s given you. And every time uses scripture! Just ask God for this…or that and he will give it to you.
HOLD ON SATAN!! That’s not God’s true plan for me! That goes against what Jesus taught! And I have to reel in my thoughts and start again. This is not new- he pulled this same stuff with Jesus after his baptism. Find that spot in your Bible where Jesus was tempted by satan. Everything that he offered Jesus- he’s offering it to you.
Think about it.
Matthew 4:1-10
The devil is offering you what you want and desire…. but he’s not doing it to love you. He’s doing it to love himself. God wants you to be abundant, He’s promised you this!
