Tired, Frustrated, & Beaten, BUT NOT DEFEATED!!

THE BATTLE HAS ALREADY BEEN WON! Praise God there IS victory in Jesus!

"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

"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. For this God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.

What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all-how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died--more than that, who was raised to life--is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? No, in all things WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS THROUGH HIM WHO LOVED US. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is on Christ Jesus our Lord." -Rom.8:28-39

"Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." -Rom. 12:21

Satan is all over us....we must be doing something right! Pray for my heart to be right and that through the power of God I can bless those who persecute and love those who hurt. As the scripture says, "it's not a battle of flesh and blood, but of spiritual forces of evil."

Pray that God's children would be protected from being used as tools for Satan, especially me.
