Daily Reflection With Jesus

Well ladies and gentleman I am back. So much has happened over the years since my last post in 2014. Life got away from me and I forgot I had a blog. So what I am going to do moving forward is play catch up. I will post some of the important stuff that I have written and back date it so you as well as myself will know when it was written. That way all of the good stuff is in one place. Mixed in with the old will also be the new. What is happening in my life right now. What the Lord is teaching me and where He is leading me.

Today's post is from this mornings daily reflection with Jesus.

Listening to a sermon by Priscilla Shire called Fervent in Prayer one thing she said that stood out to me was this: Our countenance changes not because the challenges have gone away but because we overhear and now really understand what the enemy thinks about us when he sees us coming. It doesn’t mean that the circumstances will change but it does mean that how we face those circumstances will change. Even if we don’t believe every single thing that the word of God declares to be true about us. We need to know that whether or not we believe it to be true, there is an enemy who knows everything God has declared us to be as daughters is absolutely true. He knows we have already been forgiven and given victory. He knows that there is no condemnation in Christ Jesus. He knows that in the end we win.

I believe that we need to surrender our understand and need for control and allow the Lord to be in control of our lives. If the enemy is so threatened by the word of God and who He calls us to be, then it absolutely must be true since he is trying so hard to plant unbelief. I can hear it now, the enemy whispering to his minions his schemes and our names. The enemy only knows the names of those who are a threat to him. He has no need to know your name if you’re not a threat. Why would he? It’s a beautiful picture knowing that the trials I face is because I am a threat and not because of anything else. I know who I am as a daughter of the Highest King! I know that no weapon formed against me shall prosper and I know that we already have the victory and there is nothing the enemy can do or say to change that outcome. Today, I chose to stand in that place of victory. I choose to walk with confidence knowing that I am a threat and that the enemy knows my name. Today I choose to not let the seeds of unbelief or doubt permeate in my mind. I choose the truth in who God has called me to be.

Isaiah 54:17
But in that coming day no weapon turned against you will succeed. You will silence every voice raised up to accuse you. These benefits are enjoyed by the servants of the LORD; their vindication will come from me. I, the LORD, have spoken!

Blessings abundantly,
