I just off the phone with a gal who is doing our Spiritual Warfare Bible study. She was commenting on how the enemy frequently places thoughts in her mind about “being alone…no one really caring about her…no one wanting to be bothered with her struggles…” The devil is totally into darkness and isolation. (Just like hell) He will lie to us about anything. Jesus is into communication (with God in prayer and each other) as well as life and light. She recognized the negative pattern of these thoughts. Instead of believing these thoughts, she walked into her Bible study group and asked someone to pray with her. Immediately, she sensed a break-through just by speaking out to ask for prayer.
The enemy wants us to feel like we are all alone. He wants us to believe that no one really cares and no one really understands. I believe that Jesus prayed out loud about unity in John chapter 17 so we can speak out loud to others who need to be unified with us. The “two or more in agreement prayers” have power for many reasons. One of those reasons has to do with speaking out the prayer request to another person and then of course, speaking it out to the Lord together in prayer. There is also an instant accountability partner who can now pray for you as it comes to mind and ask you about it in the days that follow. Malachi 3:16 says “Then those who feared the LORD spoke to one another and the Lord listened and heard them; so a book of remembrance was written before Him for those who fear the LORD and who meditate on His name.” God ease-dropped on two believers who were talking about Him and He blessed them by putting their names in His book. The Lord loves for His children to be united. We need to recognize the devil’s schemes and fight back just by opening our mouths to speak. We have all the tools we need to be victorious. Lets live in the life, liberty and love of the Lord (not alone but together for eternity).
In speaking out, I really liked that devotional this morning.I am facing the same thing with the devil, but we know the Lord and our Saviour can help us to put everything in perspective and show us what way to go. I know I have been in the same place, and almost went down, when the Lord, spoke to me, saying to gather myself with The right believers and he would strenghten me to come out od Bandage! In which I did and then, is when I received a blessing. It made Satan very mad,but you know what, I don’t care who got mad, that is when, God took over and did things his way: Praise God. Do ya’ll know anything about Tres Adias? That is a retreat here in Texas, that the ladies go for 3 dayes and nights! That means to be with the Lord three days and Nights, and not a lady has come out of this retreat, not being blessed by what God has done for them. We don’t talk to any one about this, because it would ruin it for others and you might not receive your blessing God has for you!If you would be interested, let me know and I can get information for you. In Gods hands: Sincerley Yours! B.S.
