Who would ever guess there could be spiritual warfare over your food choices? Who would ever think God would ask for obedience over what you eat for lunch?  Over the years though, I’ve learned a thing or two about what happens when you decide to pursue God’s very best plan for your life.  I’ve learned…

The moment you say yes, distractions will come soon after

If you stand strong when distractions come, a bigger obstacle will show up

The enemy of your soul is very subtle, more subtle than most of us know

There are real demonic spirits assigned to harass and discourage you

It’s your heavenly identity the enemy is most scared of, and that which he tries to hinder you from embracing more than anything else

 

Yes, the warfare is real and sometimes overwhelming.  But I’ve also learned some things that are nothing short of amazing about how God uses this warfare in our lives.  I’ve learned…

 

You can have such deep peace during the storm it will blow your mind

You can walk in deep rest within your soul when all hell is breaking loose around you

It’s God who is teaching you how to be a warrior, and He never fails

Every fight you take part in is from a place of victory; you already possess it because of Jesus

You’re much stronger than you may realize because of whose you are

Don’t underestimate the power of those still, small voice “whispers” that you hear in your heart, even if they’re whispering something that seems to be insignificant.  It’s possible that these are the very things the Lord wants your obedience in because that obedience will propel you into the dream you have for your life.  The warfare is real, but sometimes you don’t even realize its warfare because it seems like such a small thing.  It’s not.

If you’re willing and obedient, you’ll eat the best that the land produces

Isaiah 1:19

What is the “land” you desire?  Remember there is warfare to hinder you, and remember too that God has a strategy for you to partner with Him in to inherit your land.

 

With love,
