Maybe it was my imagination, but the other day when the phone rang it seemed to ring a little louder than usual. I knew that it was a distress call. I rushed to get the phone. It was a long time family friend in great distress. She was dealing with some problems and we began to take different strategies as though the two of us weren't faith people.
SIDEBAR
We have to remember that we are "faith" people. We don't think like everybody else. We don't have to deal with the troubles that come. We have a Father who cares so much for us that He says, give it all to Me, I'll take care of it.
At the end of the conversation, we prayed and then I spoke to my friend. I encouraged her to remember who God is. I reminded her of the devil's plan to kill, to steal and to destroy. I reminded her that God's Word says the she has the power over the enemy who when he comes in like a flood, will be met with the standard lifted up by the Spirit of the Lord. We also prayed for her peace. We talked about the unknown situation she's walking into and how God has got it under control whether she knows it or not. I plead the Blood of Jesus over her situation.
What was it that struck me?
I was reminded of the fact that this lady is an active believer. What struck me was the severity of the attacks on believers by Satan and so I want to encourage you today to stay close. There's an end to this movie. The season Finale doesn't lead to another season of ups and downs. In the end, we win and don't you forget that. Stay close to God. Stay close to the Word of God. Build yourselves up in the faith.
Stay encouraged.
