John 10:10 (NKJV) 10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
When the thief comes and tries to knock us down, he will resort to some pretty low tactics.
For example, maybe we received negative news regarding our health, or a situation didn’t turn out the way we had hoped for. Maybe our kids are rebelling, or we lost our job, etc.
When these things are happening, we need to rebuke satan and his threats, in Jesus’ name.
Take whatever negative report we are getting and bring it to God. Talk to Him. Tell Him your concerns. He can turn things around. He can bring good things out of the worst situations, if we trust Him with it.
The Lord has come to give us life and to give it more abundantly! Amen. And living a life of fear is not abundant life. It’s just barely making it! Something needs to change.
In some situations, we may not even want to get out of bed because of what we have to face each day. God knows, though. And He is waiting on us to turn it over to Him. There is no way we can handle this stuff on our own, and God does not expect us to.
The sooner we realize this, the quicker things will start to turn around. That’s not saying that we will always see things happen right away with our natural eyes. But in the spiritual realm, things will begin to shift.
And as we press into God and trust Him with it, and we continue to obey His leading, walking out the steps He gives us, we will see things move in the natural also. And victory will eventually come.
Exodus 15:2 (NKJV) 2 The Lord is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation; He is my God, and I will praise Him; My father’s God, and I will exalt Him.
