Indeed we must be strong in the Lord for the devil roams the earth like lion seeking whom he may devour. Most forget that God allows all things to happen. He does so I believe to train us and purge us so that we learn to become totally dependent on him in times of trial, to let him do the fighting for us, as it is written: the battle belongs to the Lord.

It is so good to know that I am not the only one that is going through this.

After a while of no one knowing what I was talking about...ya'll sure make me feel a little bit more sane lol.

Although I do wish Satan would BACK OFF. He seems to draw near to me when I am closest to God as well, but he gets on my nerves. I feel like how can I serve the Lord If he's always there. Maybe it has something to do with going into the ministry...I have horrid dreams, and freaky realities, and hear voices and see shadows....thought I was losing my mind. Satan seems to enjoy toying with me...

any way, please pray for me. It is tough, always having him there to try

and bring me down...

Praying for you...... and for me. I find the closer to Him I get the more the evil one throws my way.

Amen to your post....I do not doubt Him or what he has done...an example of one of those things I go through in the mind....the Noah complex...not feeling like I ever get anything done for God...etc...like nobody is hearing what I just preached..etc..or like the devil trying to trip me up in my walk...

Blood Stained Soul............Thank you for this post. Excuse me while I praise God for not being the only one to feel this way. I have felt so alone in this battle. Yes, I am in the ministry............and it is after preaching that the enemy hits me the hardest. Blood Stained............I used to be so excited about being called into the ministry...........I have always had a desire to work for the Lord and to be used in the ministry...............I have been preaching for almost four years and now it's to the point that if I didn't fear the judgement of God for disobedience then I would quit preaching....................I am ashamed to admit that. Is it a sin to feel that way? I pray it's not. I don't like feeling this way. But knowing that I am not the only one to feel this way gives me courage to keep fighting this battle. Once again thanks for the post...........

God bless.

Hippo,

Satan enjoys toying with and tormenting everyone. You are not alone as you've seen from these posts.

You will never be totally free from Satan's wiles until you are back home with our Lord and Savior. Until then, just know that whatever you're experiencing is not abnormal. It is common to all true Christians. :laugh:

If Satan ain't bothering you're doing something wrong. :laugh:

And yes, I will and have prayed for you, dear sister.

Luv Yuh,

John

Brother,

Doulos is Greek for servant of the servant. The lowliest form of servants. A member of my staff told me about it. Read a sermon about it one time...can find the link to it online if you want to check it out.

I too deal with this. Bad thoughts....always thinking something is going wrong when nothing really is....the feeling of worthlessness.....low self esteem....all in my mind....

Hubby tries to help...but it's hard for him cuz I don't express what I'm going through well....so I get frustrated and bottle it all up until one day, we talk and I let it all out....

It's a real tough part of my walk....

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Daniel: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 3

      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this study, I'll be focusing on Daniel and his picture of the resurrection and its connection with Yeshua (Jesus).

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
