If you don’t think that Satan is a drama queen that whole 9/11 scene
and watching those planes crash into the building over and over was
enough drama for me. Same with anyone who has been through Post
Traumatic Stress Disorder in watching
someone get blown up in Iraq or Vietnam as far as it plays over and over
in our minds. It took me about six months to get those images of my
husband’s heart attack out of my mind.
Psalm 91 is a great scripture. My daughter was encouraging someone on his birthday when she got held up at gun point outside her apartment complex, but a noise distracted the two robbers who had ski masks on. They left the keys to her car that they were planning on stealing all they got was her cell phone.
There are certain things we can replace in life like a cell phone, but we can’t replace our lives.
The enemy tries to "shake us up" with these incidents to "unnerve us." I like watching Christian television; it gives me a lot of comfort. I enjoyed this one lady's testimony that was ministering in Africa teaching people how to farm when several terrorists came in with guns pointed at her head she got angry and she said, "I am a servant of the most high God" and those terrorists left her alone.
Who do we serve? “Oh Lord, Our Lord how excellent is your name in all the earth.” Who has set your glory above the heavens. Psalm 8:8
Notice it says "in all the earth." I can’t take God’s glory from him like Satan tried to take God’s glory, but I certainly like his glory to spill on me (share it) and I am a “partner” with God. I’m a joint-heir with Christ.
Now if we are children, then we are heirs--heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory. Romans 8:17
When I give to my church or I give to a mission or a television ministry like Joyce Meyer, I’m a partner in the gospel.
◄ Philippians 1:5 ►For you have been my partners in spreading the Good News about Christ from the time you first heard it until now.
My husband and I were in a Christian marriage so we were partners in life.
◄ 1 Peter 3:7 ►Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.
I was speaking to someone last night how my husband and I prayed together, went to church together, but we never studied the word together that much. Our pastor encouraged us to study the word and I had just bought a book to help us study the word together when he passed away. She encouraged me that God would bring that in my life – a person I will enjoy studying God’s word with. We only shared back and forth on trips in the car the Bible, but not in an individual study time.
Well, speaking of drama if you ever can go to a Carmen concert, he is quite dramatic and I just get a chuckle out of him showing how Satan get’s flustered out of a Christian on their knees praying for revival. So at times I’m at war. I’ve claimed war on the enemy’s camp.
I claimed it right after my husband died it just how much can I destroy Satan’s territory? Well, when you claim war on Satan’s camp, he does fight back. But it was rather cool that I had a 29-year old student run up to me to tell me how glad she was that I stayed in my Computer Graphic’s class and how when her mother passed away from cancer she was there until her death. She said she stuck out her classes too like I stayed in my Computer Graphic senior project classes. I also stuck out my job the last six years.
It’s nice to finally take a few months break now. I don’t miss my job at all in fact, it sort of like divorces where I wake up every morning thanking God I don’t have a job. I know in the future I will be thanking God I have a job because I don’t plan on retiring early. But right now I’m enjoying a break and my resting time in God to get my strength back.
My job was causing duress in my life so I was not sleeping very well the last few months of my life. I would build myself up on my faith only to go to work and get zapped by something my manager or someone said so I knew it was time I put my notice in and move on.
One thing that has really helped me is recognizing that Joshua and Caleb did not enter the Promise Land right away in life. Joshua and Caleb were positive people, but they had to wait 40 years until a new generation was raised up and then they still had to walk across the Jordan River, but this time after crossing the Red Sea it was easier. It was easier to cross the Jordan. There will always be a Goliath to fight in life and there will always be a Jordan River to cross to go to the promise land.
