Stay With the Herd 

     It's important to be close to others who strong in spirit. We all have days where we feel spiritually drained. You can't go to a nonbeliever and ask for advice when they don't even believe spiritual warfare exists. It is imperative that you have relationships with people of the church or those who can guide you and encourage you to have a relationship with the Lord.  They will be the ones who will suggest a verse from the bible and give you biblical advice. Also, get involved in activities that will help you grow in spirit: Charities, volunteer work, church choir, etc. When you do things for the Lord and fill yourself with things from Him, your spirit will be livened. Focus on Him, and he will give you the desires of your heart. 

If you happen to go astray, it's okay. God's Word says , "How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?" The Lord will always seek you. The shepherd loves and takes care His sheep. 

Can't Sleep at Night? Pray to your King 

1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

² I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

³ Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

⁴ He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

⁵ Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

⁶ Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

⁷ A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

⁸ Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.

⁹ Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;

¹⁰ There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

¹¹ For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

¹² They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

¹³ Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

¹⁴ Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

\

¹⁵ He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

¹⁶ With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

     Sometimes in life you have to let go of the things that separate you from God. These are things that the enemy uses to keep a hold on us and not have a stronger relationship with our King. Get rid of anger, get rid of bad language, get rid of a relationship that is not helping you progress. I know these things are easier said than done, but thankfully we have God to help us out. 
     Every day, pray for spiritual strength to let go of the bad things that are swaying you from God. The flesh is weak, but God makes us strong. It is better to lose the world and gain God. 

You Present a Challenge

1 Peter 5:8 "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walkers about, seeking whom he may devour" Resist him, standing firm in your faith and in the knowledge that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kinds of suffering.…"


Don't get angry or have a pity party when something bad happens. Continue to raise God every day of your life and overcome the attacks from Satan. Become his worst nightmare, by reflecting the image of Christ. God knows when you're going to be attacked before it even happens, but he has made you strong enough to overcome it. He has made a foundation!! When the enemy tries to flood you, don't worry, God has made you strong enough to endure the storm, just focus on HIM. 

                                                       

Romans 12:2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

We are all born with a purpose in life. 
     God has a plan for you even before you're born. We are here on this Earth to serve God and to do His will. Most people have a hard time knowing what their purpose is. 
Sometimes it's just as simple as asking God Himself to reveal to you what he wants you to do. Focus on the Lord and he will show you your purpose! 

Just know, what ever it may be, you can be sure it will be for the good of His people. 

He loves us so deeply. 

                 Stay Strong 



 Revelations 2:7 " He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat out of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God. 

Revelation 21:4 "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away" 

. 

I think we can all agree that this life is not the easiest. There's lots of terrible things going on in the world, and perhaps even in our personal life. While we are on this Earth there will be times of sadness, pain , sorrow, etc; (Even Jesus wept). But we have to always look at the bigger picture; there is something to look forward to ! Our father is awaiting us in Heaven !!!!And His Word says he will wipe every tear and we will never experience sadness. The little time of suffering on this Earth will never compare to the ETERNAL happiness in Heaven.  

   Stay strong and have faith.
