Luke 10:19 (Amplified Bible)
19Behold! I have given you authority and power to trample upon serpents and scorpions, and [physical and mental strength and ability] over all the power that the enemy [possesses]; and nothing shall in any way harm you.
That’s The Best You Can Do……..
Today’s music in the message comes from Pat Benatar’s “Hit Me With Your Best Shot”. The title of the song says it all. Have you ever watched a fight scene in a movie and no matter how many times or how hard a character was hit, he just kept getting up again? Well, that’s the attitude we have to have in life. We have to say to the enemy, “Hit Me With Your Best Shot.”
I recently found out that the man I had been with for 2 ½ years was cheating on me from day one (Shot one). He introduced me to his family and friends and I let him into my daughter’s life. I trusted him and gave him everything I could but it still wasn’t enough. After exposing him, he is still lying (Shot Two). Well, if you have been following the blogs you’d know that it didn’t break me. That I choose to stand with God and walk in my healing and freedom. I didn’t do into a depression or lose any sleep. So I guess that upset the devil cause less than 4 days later he brought out the big guns.
While at work and discussing the whole situation with some co-workers/friends, I found out that he had tried on more than one occasion to hook up with them (Shot three and four). This was a double hit because I trusted him, but more importantly I thought my girls would have been honest and upfront with me…………..whether I would have believed them or not. So I immediately called Lisa. I felt the ball of hurt in my throat. The pain was so real I could barely swallow. I wanted to cry, but I couldn’t. I became overwhelmed with gratefulness and humbled. I was glad to have found this out now, that to have been married with two kids and have to try to mend together a broken relationship.
So I calmly hung up the phone and asked …………….was that the best you could do? This man was not going to be my kryptonite. When the devil tempted Jesus after his 40 day and nights fast, he kept coming at him with different things, but Jesus never gave up or gave in. Instead He fought fire with water. He spoke the Word and nothing but the Word back at Satan. In the end, Jesus lost not a hair off of his head and the devil crawled back to his cave to brainstorm his next attack. So many times in our lives we let the enemy get us down, AND KEEP US down with just one blow. He is not that strong and he knows it, the problem is we don’t.
Today let’s begin to walk in the truth that nothing and no one is bigger or badder than our God. Trust in God to get you through any and every trial you may be going through. Satan’s best day, can’t touch your worse day with the Lord. It’s time to dust off your boxing gloves and fight back.
