Moment by Moment

1 Chronicles 11:5-12:18

We have countless enemies (thoughts in our minds, evil spirits whispering in our ears and even people who say uncaring things to us). Have you ever heard any of these thoughts, whispers and words?

·        You will never overcome this area in your life.

·        You will never conquer this.

·        You will always be like this.

·        You will not be completely set free.

·        You will never heal.

·        You haven’t changed yet so why bother now.

·        You will never change…permanently. I’ve told you before what you do wrong and you keep doing it.

·        You will always have a fat there.

·        You are going to fail.

            We have ALL heard these words or similar ones at some point in our lives if not daily. However, God…

God, today, in His infinite, matchless power longs for us to capture these thoughts, mindsets, words, enemies, habits, lies and lay them to rest. God desires to attack and demolish these areas head on thus making us the commanders over our mind, will emotions, body, finances, friendships, talents, time, etc. with Him as the King. He expectantly waits for these areas to be cleaned out completely so He may transform these once man-made/self-made and enemy-made fortresses into His fortress where His truth rings clear.

God is so loving, kind, and magnificent to long for us to be wholly His. He not only desires to transform our fortresses but also patiently stands by ready to extend our ‘city limits’ to reach into surrounding areas, capacities, regions connecting with other purposes, plans and people He has already placed before us.

God is prepared to rebuild and reconstruct these areas in our lives. He knows this will take time and He is eager to give us all the time we will permit Him. He knows this will take boundless endurance and perseverance and He has plenty of that as well. He understands the stretching, molding, and recreating process is often difficult yet He says He will make us strong in our weaknesses. He lovingly waits for us to seek Him to manifest and display His love. He loves it when we solely rely upon all that He has to offer us in our lives. He loves becoming more and more powerful within us, which brings glory and honor to His name.

Today, moment by moment, let us make conscious decisions to place Jesus, God and Holy Spirit as King in our lives. When these Three are reigning we are promised strength, wisdom, protection, guidance, love and oh so much more.

The Trinity (Father, Son, Spirit) graciously offer us abilities, talents, power, and so we can be made more and more in His likeness. When our trust and faith are in these Three, they grant us the capability to rise up as warriors to take lands and kingdoms once belonging to our flesh or the enemy of our souls. They assist by granting us the forte to hold our ground in the middle of life circumstances and devastate our enemies, even the falsehoods we ponder and contemplate.

God willingly saves us by giving us great victories because HE LOVES US.
