The Battle lines have been drawn. Light versus Dark. Life against Death. The Spiritual Warfare has begun and in all honesty I am flattered that it has. The enemy sees me as a threat and trembles at the presence of God that I have been cloaked in.
The enemy has me in his cross hairs watching like a hawk for any slip of the tongue.
he stalks the border of my light and studies my actions ready to pounce on any mistake.
he disguises himself in words of persecution and attempts to invade my being with thoughts of inability.
he slithers at my perimeter awaiting any hint of failure
he lurks at the outskirts waiting for me to be weary
he hides in the darkness looking for a chance to find a foothold readying himself for an attack
he observes from a far, he stands at a distance, because he lives in fear of the ammunition of relentless love that I receive daily.
he fears the presence of God that is on me, that surrounds me, that covers me, that is in me
he fears the commands of my MASTER
he fears my role in the KINGDOM and my title as Daughter
he fears the Authority I carry as a co-laborer of CHRIST
he fears the armor of Truth that adorns me
he fears the price that has already been paid for my loyalty
he fears the wisdom I have been entrusted with
he fears my worth because it isn’t measured in gold or silver but in the precious blood of my savior
I am flattered that the enemy recognizes my heart as a direct assault on his mission
I am flattered at his attempts to distance me from my KING
I am flattered at his attempts to place doubt about my Father’s love for me
I am flattered at the constant threat of attack
Be flattered in your own attack, Be honored that you fight for a side that has already won
Be honored that you have been clothed in righteousness and armed with the sword of truth that has been etched out of love and is covered in the blood of Christ, Be honored that your reward already awaits, Be honored in the authority that you have inherited, Be honored in your battle.
Recognize that you are no longer a citizen of this world, but an heir to the Kingdom. Put on the robes that await you, The robes of righteousness sewn by the holy hands of JESUS CHRIST, hands that healed the eyes of the blind, that washed the feet of the unworthy, that were nailed to a cross, that reached out to a doubter, beautiful ,beautiful hands that welcome you home. Be honored in God’s faithfulness, at His attention to your desires. Be honored that the King calls you into His throne room by name. That He has read the desires written on your heart and prepares your footsteps to accomplish your dreams for His glory. Thank Him with everything, Praise Him with everything, Acknowledge Him with Everything, Love Him in Everything, For everything we can give still falls short of the everything that He has already given.
