War on.
MORNING THOUGHTS ☕️
Mornin’ sunshines! Happy Friday. We’re still in the “what day is it?” mode over here. Leaving in a bit to take the kids back to the airport…parting is such sweet sorrow. BUT. We’ve had a beautiful two weeks full of family and memory making…and now, they’re off to live their lives!
I wanted to share an example I shared with one of them last night. Both went through the army’s boot camp. Both are learning how to battle an enemy in the NATURAL realm. The thing we have to know and understand is that we are battling an enemy in the SPIRITUAL realm as well. Daily. He’s prowling. Looking for an open door. Looking for ACCESS. Finding generational strongholds to keep coming on down family lines. He’s not super creative, just consistent. And just like one of my kids has learned to blow up a bridge so the oncoming enemy cannot cross…we must learn how to blow up bridges and use our weapons and be on alert for the enemy of our soul. We must have trip wires in place. We must recognize “ahhhh that thought is NOT truth, it’s a lie, and that means it’s the enemy trying to gain access to my thought life…let me take one of my weapons (take every though captive) and blow that bridge up right now.” Our Spiritual armor must be put on in order to be effective. Our spiritual weapons must be wielded in order to slay. Just like a post I saw this morning regarding the United States to “be on HIGH alert because more terrorist attacks are IMMINENT” so must we be. Our enemy is not passive. We cannot be either.
War on people. War on.

So very true! I recently had some new medical findings brought to light that if I allow myself to believe what’s being thrown at me each day- can throw me into fear and sadness. But daily I have to intentionally put on my armor and not allow my mind to even go there! Our God is a big God. And he doesn’t want us living in fear. But instead to put our Faith and Trust in Him alone. Thank you Jesus!!♥️
YES!
