"You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy, at Your right hand there are pleasures forevermore."
Psalm 16:11
"God comes to our lonely, anxious hearts and whispers our name. God says "I see both the fear you have of closeness and the deep longing you have to belong. I have come to comfort you and to respond to your need. I have been seeking a relationship with you. You belong. You belong to me. You are my child."

WHEN FREEDOM IS NEAR


These past few days I have been sick.

There was a period in time over a year ago that I could be around people who were sick and I would not be infected. Already twice this year I have come down with the same symptoms that get me.

As I become freer the more I am buffeted by the enemy. I become more of a threat. I have learned that Satan uses my weaknesses to try and divert me from the truth. The truth that sets me free from bondage. As I have been getting closer to just that, positive things begin happening in my life. When that does, then I become more of a frequent target for the enemy than ever before.

The video song below shares what I am slowly experiencing and what Satan is not liking one bit......

Don't let him distract you, always remember God is standing beside you. The devil cannot overstep God's commands, meaning he can't just do whatever he wants to you, God will lift up a standard against the enemy, so don't be afraid or discouraged! Just wanted to give you some encouragement because that's what the devil have been doing to me just before my breakthrough. He tries to do anything to keep us bound, or make us miss out on our blessings, etc. He brings the fire and heat on to destroy us just before the breakthrough. Remember it is darkest just before the light.

I have missed so much in your life. Doesn't pay to skip out on blogs. My blog has been inactive for so long.
Seems your doing great. I am glad.

Esther Joy said...

I'm so glad you commented on my post, and I followed you to yours this morning! I was just experiencing the process of freedom ONE MORE TIME this morning, and had read Psalm 16:11 before I came to your blog and saw it again. I was thanking God that He would show me the path of life for this day and reminding myself not to worry about plans beyond this day. Thank God that "when the enemy comes in like a flood the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him."

P.S. Hope and pray you are feeling better soon!

Sometimes I Want To Give Up said...

Hope you're feeling better by now and may you remain strong in His mighty power! God bless you JBR!

Pamela said...

When the enemy is fighting, you are closer to God than him! I hope you're feeling better than ever. I love the Psalm 16:11 verse at the top -- one of my favorites!

Dean Corso said...

Thank you dear (((JBR))).

Wanda said...

Awareness of his strategies is important. Once you know his ways you can counterattack.

Deborah Ann said...

I wouldn't give the devil that much credit. Do you want to hear something profound? Whoever is the god in your life is the one you dwell on more. So if you dwell on the enemy's attacks...he's lord. But if you consider everything that happens to be orchestrated by God, then HE's your LORD! Think on the things that are pure, lovely and of good report.

I love that you wrote on this. I am dealing with my frustrations and anxiety. I was one that kept all my anger in (talk about letting the sun go down - many, many suns).

I am thankful I am not where I used to be, but I am also not where I am going to be. I am a traveler.

so thats whats happening to me Ok makes sense. Is ee the evil in the devil and his attempts to make me fall. Goood post

mary333 said...

I hope you're feeling better, JBR. The attacks of Satan may come more frequently as we get closer to freedom but what the devil uses for evil, God brings good out of. We are getting stronger spiritually each day and if we stay close to the King, the devil cannot really harm us. I love the fact that you've set your mind and heart on the goal- having a positive mindset and trusting the Lord weakens the devil's power. Great post, my friend!

Your sense of humor cracks me up, JBR! The comments you've been leaving on my blog are funny!

Reformed rebel said...

Hi JBR...you are so right. When you start getting closer and closer to all the good things God has for you, satan attacks frequently and harder. He wants to keep you all bound up. I know because I have been there too. Just keep your head up and put that ole devil under your foot and grind him down in JESUS name!

Blessings to you today...Chelle

Debby@Just Breathe said...

It seemed like everytime we went to a woman's retreat for the weekend, which is where we got up close and personal with God, we would be attacked by Satan when we got home. I just keep praying to God to keep evil out of my way!

Hope you are feeling better soon. Yay for being set free! It certainly is a hard fought battle.
