For all you wonderful gardner’s I am not one, but would love to learn more about it. These are just some thoughts I have been tossing around!!
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. – Eph 6:12
I want to challenge you all. To fix your eyes on Jesus and to stop the enemy from having any kind of victory over you because the truth is the battle is already won by the blood of Jesus. The enemy, full of schemes, tries to stop you from being all that the Lord made you to be. The devil wants to bring you with him to the grave, don’t let him. Do this to the enemy, TELL him to Go to Hell, where he belongs and replace the lies with truth. The enemy attacks your mind, twists and manipulates words. Lies Lies and Lies to you. Claim all authority in Christ and know truth. Know the enemy has no power unless you give it to him. Christ has already won, it is not your
fight. The enemy loves to see us attack eachother. Stomp, kick and tell each other to go to hell. he loves that we believe that our fight is against eachother and trying to stomp on eachother to get no where. Revenge is one of his favorite words. And hate is what he represents.
Really the enemy has no strength, unless unoticed. He is a weed that is ignored.
Weeds entangling a flower. If the weeds were noticed for what they are, would have been easily removed. A gardner knows what to pull and what to leave in the soil to florish and bear fruit, as much as, the gardner knows when to remove a weed that prevents the true beauty to be seen.
The Lord is the creator of all. He teachs us to hear His voice that speaks the way, the truth and the life. We must hold on to the truth that powerfully speaks to the lies. As the enemy comes to kill, steal and destory, We must know and look to the truth that has victory over all lies, learning His truth and listen for His voice. The lies attack us and stop us from growing and experiencing life ,that is designed and planned by the Lord, that bears fruit in His name. As I think about commUNITY, I know that the enemy hates it. There is power in number, when eyes are fixed on Christ the power is His. The devil wants you to feel isolated, undeserving of love, powerless and what can I do? I am only one. When we look to the Lord we are a garden that grows more and more abundant producing more and more fruit.
I encourage you to embarce the diversity in the garden, to appreciate the different fruits and vegtables. The uniquenss that is in the body of Christ.
Shine a light on the darkness and see what is behind it.
Do not be deceived
Know Jesus and believe!!
You give us victory over our enemies, You put our adversaries to shame. – Ps 44:7
