I Am Not Immune ... Neither Are You

To be immuned is to be protected or exempt from We were all born and shaped in iniquity
The fiery darts of the enemy are increased with each greater step of commitment we make to Almighty God. The closer God draws us to Himself, the more we seem to come under the attack of the Devil. Why should we then endure this hardship as good soldiers of Christ? So we will please our Commanding Officer Jesus Christ, the one  who alone is able to keep and preserve us. So though we are not immune to the wiles of the enemy and in fact seem more vulnerable and susceptible to the attacks of the devil, let us fight the good fight of faith because when we have, we will receive our just reward.

Now when I wrote the first paragraph I was certainly experiencing the distress and frustrations that I am going through now. When you choose to serve the Lord with all your heart it comes with the most adverse and trying situations I tell you. But in the midst of it all God provides a way; He sends someone. I am still waiting for the way to be created or for that someone to give me that encouraging word which I many times over give to others. It has not yet come and so what do I do until then? Let me tell you what I have been doing honestly. I have been frustrating myself with the challenges being presented even though I know its the ole' devil messing with me. You see I know the talk and I talk a good talk. It's now demanded of me to put that talk into action.

Nevertheless I am not immune ... neither are you. But you know what, this doesn't change all the promises God has declared for my life, neither does it change the plans that God has for my life. So I am just gonna dig deeper as one of our Ministers reminded us. Name the problem and move on! Don't strive with them. There will be Eseks and Sitnahs in our lives but let us move forward to REHOBOTHNow the LORD has given us room and we will flourish in the land.” 

I will not die but live and declare the word of the Lord. Amen.
