A Raging War Within!
The battle rages on!
A constant struggle, warfare and battle, most of which is in the mind. Internal conflict within. I fight fear, anxiety and doubt. Like the Apostle Paul, that which I don’t want to do I do and that which I should do, I don’t!
Yet I am not without hope. The battles are normal, the warfare is real and what I am going through is part of what is being used in me to create the character of Christ within.
Sunday morning while in the divorce care class in response to a question I made the following statement, “That the Lord will not allow us to go through anymore than we can bear.” Even when I think I can’t, He can. He gives us the strength to not give up. To press in and lay hold of Him.
That in the midst of the battle, in the eye of the storm, we rise up in strength. That we can put on the full armour of the Lord. That He gives us everything that we need to stand and there comes a time, that when we have done all that we can, that we stand!
To stand on the word, on the solid foundation, on the rock, on the word of the Lord, knowing that the foundation will not be shaken or torn down. That we will survive the winds of adversity, the storms of life and that we will come to a place of rest in the Lord.
As David often did in the Psalms. He declared, that in the midst of the battles, in the storms, in the times of adversity, that He would lift up the Name of the most High. That he would declare the majesty of the almighty.
So even this day, at this time. Let us declare the awesomeness of the God we serve. Our faith, our life is based on the reality of the Christ within, upon the word of God.
Let us rise up in the spirit today and declare that having done all, we stand upon the solid rock, the sure word of God, the unmovable foundation of the Hope of Christ that we have within.
Till later,
Paul
