Being Attacked

When I think back on the things that happened as soon as I started my ministry I see the spiritual attacks. As I went through these things they were hurtful, wrong and out of my control. Some things I would have to take the high road and some things I would have to know that this would be a tough season of life. I was weary and burdened.


Thankfully, I knew I was under attack and knew who my army was. Jesus said in Matthew 11: 28, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." 1 Peter 5: 7, "Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you." After getting over the shock of some of the things I began to know that God had big plans for me for the devil to work this hard! This was not going to be easy because my assignment was not easy.


Callings come with spiritual warfare and a "sifting" (just heard that word and like that). Both of these things are necessary for us to go through for us to be authentic, humble and strong. We have to know where our help comes from! Psalm 121: 1-2, "I lift up my eyes to the mountains— where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth." I am thankful for those hard times because it made me stronger in God. James 1; 2, "Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds..."


If you knew the size of the blessing coming, you would understand the magnitude of the battle you are fighting!
