Great verses - Thanks!
One thing that I have realised only recently is that I am scared of speaking to Satan. Does that make sense to you? - so the idea of telling him to BACK OFF! freaks me totally. I believe that God always wins, but I am frightened to tell Satan that and Satan knows that I am afraid!
I completely understand!!!! it is very difficult to talk back to satan and remind him that God is the ruler of your life. That is why I started off by just quoting scripture out loud as loud as i could so that i couldn't hear the thoughts satan was trying to put in my head. and slowly i moved to Back off! God's in controll kind of my life attitude. dont' get me wrong i backslide and i struggle. but i know that satan is scared of God's perfect word, satan doesn't like the truth he likes to twist it just enough to send us in the wrong direction! satan never just slaps u upside the head with random junk... he manipulates the truth into some slightly whorpped (sp?) idea and then as you travel it gets farther and farther from the truth with out you noticing. We best be on guard and take up the riegns and say "BACK OFF!" don't be affraid to say it out loud!
i want to pray for you!
- Heavenly Father, I ask that you would be with Afal. She is seeking for your help father and is struggling with satan's twisted ways. Father i ask that you would encourage her, that you would lift this weight, that you would just lay your hand on her and comfort her every breath with your truth. Father, she is your sheep in need. As you tells us that the good shephered will not leave one not one sheep behind, please come to her. Father give her the courage to tell satan to back off, and that she will only serve one master. Father i ask this not just for afal, but for each of us who are struggling in doubts, in mounds of sin. Father reach out and protect our thoughts, fill them with your truth! I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
