"Continue ON HIS Course!"

 

"Overcome those Obstacles!"

 

Romans 16:16-20 (Amplified Bible))

Greet one another with a holy (consecrated) kiss. All the churches of Christ (the Messiah) wish to be remembered to you. I appeal to you, brethren, to be on your guard concerning those who create dissensions and difficulties and cause divisions, in opposition to the doctrine (the teaching) which you have been taught. [I warn you to turn aside from them, to] avoid them. For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ but their own appetites and base desires, and by ingratiating and flattering speech, they beguile the hearts of the unsuspecting and simpleminded [people]. For while your loyalty and obedience is known to all, so that I rejoice over you, I would have you well versed and wise as to what is good and innocent and guileless as to what is evil. And the God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah) be with you.

Some of what I hear, and alot of what I see, is similiar to what the Apostle Paul wrote about as a warning to the 1st century church.

If anyone knew of the obstacles that I am continually faced with, being placed in my path by the enemy of God, it was surely Paul!

Having discernment and understanding in the realm of spiritual warfare, Believers in Christ have God's Spirit as the Power by which we overcome and become victorious in our daily battles with the enemy.

Discouragement and defeat are not in God's vocabulary, and they should not be in mine either, because I have the mind of Christ, which is a knowledge of TRUTH and Obedient service!

Paul reminds me to become learned and well versed in God's WORD, which will open my eyes and ears to the very Presence of God, where nothing that opposes HIS plan and purpose for my life can deter my desire to serve HIM, as I Faithfully follow HIS plan for me in the work of HIS Kingdom!!!

 

O'Lord, guide my heart by YOUR Holy Spirit,
that I never lose sight of YOU!
Strengthen me mightily with YOUR Power,
to overcome the enemy that attacks me daily!!
As I listen and learn from YOUR WORD,
The TRUTH that sets me free and keeps me FREE!!!

 

O'Lord, prepare me to enter YOUR Presence!

 

Forever and Amen!!!
