Storage

" Your word I have hidden in my heart, That I might not sin against You." Psalm 119:11

Keep you heart filled with the word of God. When your heart is mediating on the word, you will leave no room for sin. Focus your attention and remain steadfast in the word. It is the illuminating light for your path and the guide for every step that you'll take. Now more than ever we must allow the word to shine brightly in our hearts so that darkness is unable to creep in. God's word never fails and IS able to keep you from falling prey to the enemy and on track to fulfill his will for your life.

We can decide what we store in our hearts. Don't stray away from the truth no matter the temptation, when we do, we open the door for sin and the enemy steps in and begin to reck havoc in our lives. Make up your mind today, that you will store the word of God in your hearts that will keep you from falling into sin.

We don't have to Fight Fair

"What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?" Romans 8:31

I can remember growing up and witnessing so many silly fights in school. From elementary to high school, fights broke out over nonsense. I can recall boys pulling girls ponytails because they wanted the attention of the girl that they liked, and those girls turning around and yelling to "stop" at the top of their lungs! I saw girls argue over boys and games taken way out of control.

Then there were the more serious fights. These escalated beyond words and now came to the point of backing up the smack you talked all day long in school. Guys and girls alike had their "crew" behind them and would often egg on the conflict. Needless to say, many fights happen over instigation. However, one of the main rules back in the day when a fight was about to occur was; no one should jump in. Fighting one on one allowed both individuals to hash it out without interference. Some times it was honored and other times it wasn't.

However honorable, it's not applicable in all cases. Now, when I think about spiritual battles, the scripture tells us that we don't have to fight in our own strength and on our own. This should be music to our ears, but we often forget that we have help. The enemy's job is to make us believe that we are all alone. If we believe the lie, then we are now fighting spiritual warfare with a major disadvantage. He eagerly bates us into a fight that we were never made to fight alone much less engage in.

Other times, we don't pick the fight, the fight picks us. When the enemy picks the fight, and you have unclean spirits instigating. The scripture tells us what I response should be in those instances. Our job: kindly remind the devil who is in your corner. This is our moment to speak the truth and declare the sovereignty, might, and power of our God.

This is the fight that we never have to "fight fair". Don't allow the enemy to convince you that you should fight without your help. As believers, we fight by faith. We know that God's word takes precedence over all the works of the enemy. We just have to stand our ground. His job is to move you out of your position, change your confession and lure you into the ring with him. Don't fall for the trap, you are smarter than that!

We are blessed to have Jesus on our side. If he is for us, there is no match up! As long as the enemy can make you believe you are alone and no one has your back, your fight will be of no effect. God wants us to rise up in victory because there is nothing we could ever face that we can't overcome. We never have to fight our battles alone and we definitely don't have to fight them fair. The enemy doesn't fight fair and neither should you. Your victory lies in your understanding of who is in your corner.
