😎🐫🎤 Christ’s peace and presence be with you. Lately Satan has been showing up in almost all aspects of my life. He has been pushing buttons. There are some pretty big faith based events coming up for me in the next 10 months and I know Satan is doing his best to distract me and pull me away from God and the plans that are in motion. He is attacking through my family, work, events, and one on one with me. In the moment, I’m trying hard to focus on where the attacks are coming from, not who they are coming through. Unfortunately, at times I allow my emotions to get the better of me and I lash out at who the attacks are coming through, instead of the actual attacker. Let me tell you right now, this is not a good approach. People get hurt. Things can’t be unsaid. And, apologies are needed to those we hurt in the process.
You know, we are truly living in a time of spiritual warfare. Satan and his demons against God and His heavenly hosts of angels. It’s important to be on your guard at all times. A perfect example of this was Monday night. Before going to bed, I was walking around my house praying the Chaplet of St. Michael. As I walk and pray, I like to look into the faces of the statues and pictures I have of Jesus and Mother Mary. About half way through the chaplet, Satan started talking…no, attacking me, telling me that when I look into the face of Mary and Jesus, he was going to come through them, after me. I have to say, that freaked me out a bit. Seriously, I did not want to see him face to face and I certainly did not want to unleash Satan in my home. Fear entered me. The first few I approached, I wanted to keep my head down. I didn’t want to look up and see Satan. I kept telling myself, “Trust the Lord! Trust the Lord!” I would then slowly look into the face of Mary or Jesus. It was like this for the rest of my prayer time. It is by focusing on the light that we can and will dispel the dark. I was a bit on edge as I tried to sleep that night.
This week, I want to share an incredible video with you. It is 21 minutes and it is something you will need to watch, not just listen to. I just have to say WOW! God, the designer and creator is absolutely incredible! There is so much to take in, you will probably want to watch this a few times.
Bless others and be blessed.
