So all ya'll suck it up (minus livingpalm!) and come visit me over there! And comment! Pleeeeaaassse? The includes you crazyfun! And you southward angel! Are you out there? Did you fall off the blogesphere? Well get back here.

Our Enemy, Defeated

Though all our Glory extinct, and happy state
Here swallow'd up in endless misery.
But what if he our Conquerour, (whom I now
Of force believe Almighty, since no less
Then such could hav orepow'rd such force as ours)

-Milton


We battle against a defeated enemy... This should encourage us in amazing ways!
The struggles we face day to day have one goal, to make us lose the connection we are design to have with our creator. It's a plan hatched by our enemy to steal away what we have been granted by God, our place in heaven. We must fight to keep constant connection with him, to bring other to him. There is no other purpose.
We have to swat away the demonic distractions in our life to see the clear picture.
God gives us the ability to do this with suprising ease when we are willing to fall in line with his will, not our own.

Lord make me a trophy of your victory over the dark places,
May your will be my will, May your heart be my heart.
Teach me to administer grace in a godly fashion.
Teach me to be humble.
Teach me to see selfish pride.
Lord thank you for all you've done.

Amen

Christ Watch Over Me

I am in awe of the wat God moves through his people. How he can reach through someone else and just speak. Yes, I just had this experience and for that I am grateful. I am now convinced that God responds to pure obedience without the need for feeling like doing anything. Last night while talking to a friend I was moved beyond belief while in prayer.... A prayer that niether him nor I wanted to prey mind you, we just prayed out of obedience because we knew we should. And out of that we were blessed in amazing ways. God is so cool! Yes there are struggles, yes we still have to fight, yes we will take casualties in war but in the midst of all this battle we are victorious. I need to be reminded of this often. Gods grace and love and mercy and power are endless, praise be to our king forever.
