Thoughts on Thursday

I am very concerned about the attempts of satan to overthrow or overwhelm the faith of believers in this day and time. It seems to me that the enemy has been emboldened and is taking advantage of the "spirit or attitude" of our present day culture. It appears that Christians as well as Christianity is under attack as I read various stories from our country as well as around the world. How will we choose to respond to these attacks of satan? That is possibly the most important question that we need to answer. The question is not "if the attacks of satan will come against us" BUT "when will the attacks of satan come against us."

Last evening our Adult Bible Study focused on the first part of Ephesians 6:12, “For we do not wrestle (struggle) against flesh and blood, but against...” I would like to share the insights of one of the ladies who participated in the time of study and discussion.

Enjoyed our Wednesday night Bible study. We talked about struggles in our lives. We all face them but how we react to these struggles in our lives is the challenge. Do you react with fear, doubt and unbelief or do you Stand on God’s word? God’s word equips us for the challenges we face on a daily basis. The weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds in our life.So ask yourself if you are going to stand on God’s word and promises when the devil attacks or are you going to allow the enemy to continue to defeat you with his lies of deceit and cause your struggle to continue? Life and death are in the power of the tongue. Speak life, the word of God, to your trial you are facing and God will deliver you and set you free..Cast all your cares on Jesus, because he cares for you. Just a few of my personal thoughts for today.
