I'm fine

How many times do we go through our day saying "I'm fine."
God wants us to be more than fine. When is the last time you said thank you or smiled at a stranger? God calls us to live boldly. He gives us a passion for every day.
He says" No in all these things, we are more than conquerors through Him who loves us." Romans 8:37

Let me remind you.
We are warriors.
We are fighting a dangerous battle.
But WE WILL WIN =)


Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted from the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for the saints. Ephesians 6:13-18

It's not a metaphor or riddle. There's more to then meets the eye. God and Satan are fighting. It's real. Take a look around. You don't need to go to the dark side, to know that the devil is fighting back.
It all became real to me the summer of 2012 when one of my dear friends was physically attacked by the devil. Seeing her spiritual battle become a physical battle for air and life was tough. I didn't realize Satan was so real. We must look to God in times of battle and trouble. When we trust Him, He will have the victory. He will come through for us and save us.
There will be time in your life when you feel all alone. You feel at the bottom of the pit and you don't see hope in any direction. Have peace in Christ Jesus. Keep fighting and standing firm.

Be self controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 2 Peter 5:8

We all have our battles. The question is WHO ARE YOU FIGHTING FOR?
