So when the evil one comes against you hard . . I mean REALLY hard . . . and he attacks your spirit, your soul, your emotions, your money, your health, your family, your ambitions, and your dreams . . . just know he’s only after you because of one thing. You’re a soldier in God’s Heavenly Army. That wicked dude wants to stop God’s soldiers. he wants the Heavenly Army to fall. he wants to . . . Take. You. Out. Don’t you let him!
Think about it. How can so many things go south at the same time. Coincidence? No such thing as coincidence. When things happen back to back to back and you’re scratching your head wondering how the heck can your computer, washing machine, car, air conditioner and basketball hoop, all break down at the same time, that’s not coincidence. Look around with those spiritual eyes God gave you. Don’t doubt what you see. Don’t doubt what you think. See it for what it is. Then ask Him make all the crap that’s being doled out onto you, be turned around for your good.
God knew you needed a new washing machine because the one you had was 15 years old and came with the house when you bought your new home. It kept leaking from underneath, costing you a small fortune every time you had it fixed. So He increased your credit limit to afford you a new energy efficient washer and dryer. He knew your computer was tainted with things someone researched on it and He wanted you to have a fresh start. So He got you a rebate for the cost of a new computer through the credit card you purchased the busted computer with. Then you were able to purchase a new computer on the credit card company’s dime. He knew the air conditioner repair was minor and would cost very little to repair, leading to even cooler air than before it broke down. He knew you needed a new car yet you kept patching and fixing your old jeep because you just knew you couldn’t afford a new car. So He stalled out your old jeep, right next to your house might I add, and allowed you to sell the jeep because at least the engine was still good. So you used that money, and a smalls from you father, as a down payment on a used, but newer, more fuel efficient car, with an affordable monthly car payment. He knew your kids needed a new basketball hoop because the old one you had was at the mercy of nature’s elements. Just looking at the rusty, broken metal frame gave the instant need for a tetanus shot. So He knew your neighbors were moving and had them offer you their newer basketball hoop for free!
Attention soldiers! Pull up your big boy boxers. Pull up your big girl panties. Hold onto your hats. Steady your feet in the wild winds and go forth! You’re in the Heavenly Army now! You were chosen and you MUST fight. You must persevere. You must! No wusses allowed. You were chosen. Did you hear that? Chosen. So stop the bellyaching, get a grip and march on. Show Him what you’re made of. Show Him He didn’t make a mistake in choosing you. Show Him your strength. Show Him you’re worthy. Show Him your faith. Well, I mean, you really don’t have to show Him anything because He knows. He knows what you’re made of. He knows that’s why He picked you. So . . . Get. A. Grip. Look deeper than what you see on the surface. Than what you see in front of you. In the natural. Look deeper. In the supernatural. Squint your eyes, tilt your head, and look closely. Use binoculars if you have to and see how things always work out for your good. Maybe not the way you WANT it to. But definitely the way it SHOULD.
Don’t you let the evil one and his minions shake you. Don’t you let them. he’s weak. he’s a bully. You’ve got this. You can do this thing called life. Just look deep within yourself and see what God does for you every second of every day. Every bad thing that happens, He turns it around for your good. Toughen up soldier!
