What demon are you fighting?

There is not one person I know in this world who has lead a calm, easy, smooth sailing, drama free life. Each one of us face giants and demons that we call problems or situations. I am not sure what your demon is, it could be so many things it becomes too hard to name them. It could be your health, your children, your marriage, wanting to be loved, desiring to be married, managing your income, lack of income, lack of necessary resources, drug and or alcohol addiction, sex addiction, shopping addiction, lying, cheating , loneliness, rejection or a combination of them all and let’s not forget the ones I didn’t name.

Life throws so many things at you, sometimes all at once, that I am not sure how people make it without Jesus. I am not saying that with Jesus you don’t have problems, that would be a lie. But I am saying we fight differently with him on our side.

”“I have told you these things so that you can have peace in me. In this world you will have troubles. But be brave! I have defeated the world!”“

John 16:33 ERV

”We live in this world, but we don’t fight our battles in the same way the world does. The weapons we use are not human ones. Our weapons have power from God and can destroy the enemy’s strong places. We destroy people’s arguments,“

2 Corinthians 10:3-4 ERV

I am sending you this note as a reminder that “It is written”, you will have troubles, problems, demons, or whatever you name them while you walk this earth, but that is not the end of the story. If you have faith, trust The Lord and walk in the power you have been given, you can successfully survive anything this old world throws at you. You have to know in your heart and believe with your soul in your ability to win, don’t doubt yourself and don’t doubt God and his ability. Speak to that thing that tries to destroy you and remind it that it has no power over you, tell it to be removed from your life. I don’t know what your IT is, but you HAVE the power in Jesus Christ to win.

”Then the followers came to Jesus alone. They said, “We tried to force the demon out of the boy, but we could not. Why were we not able to make the demon go out?” Jesus answered, “You were not able to make the demon go out, because your faith is too small. Believe me when I tell you, if your faith is only as big as a mustard seed you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. You will be able to do anything.”“

Matthew 17:19-20 ERV

Nothing is impossible for you if you just believe. Look, this is not a fairy tale so just trusting and believing will not make everything smooth and easy. There is no easy button, no magic wand that will be waved and everything gets easy. Nope, it means you will trust in the Lord, you will lay your problems at his feet and rest in the knowledge that it is done. You will wait, watch and see the Power of The Lord take care of things in ways you could not imagine. Use your prayers to change the direction of your life. Give all your problems to the Lord and he will give you peace while he works them out.

That’s it, that’s all. TRUST IN THE LORD!
