Godly Wisdom

Godly wisdom: If you are walking with Jesus then you have an assignment on your life. Mine may not be the same as yours, and yours may not the same as the next person's. However, something is expected from all believers. Being in close relationship with Jesus is the best way (and really the only way) to find out what your assignment is. But be cautious, because it is the moment you realize what yours is, and start to walk it out in life, that the enemy will come after you. However, the enemy is not as clever as some people give him credit for. He knows how to lie, trick and deceive people. Beyond that he really has no "new" tricks. But 1 Peter 5:8 warns us to "be watchful" because the enemy "prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour". Pray for Godly wisdom to always see the enemy's traps on your life. When you stay in close relationship with Jesus the devil's schemes stand out to you like a neon light and your ability to fight against or completely avoid his traps is so much stronger. It is in the moment that you find yourself compromising the truth, tolerating sin or becoming desensitized to things that should bother you that he has begun to squeeze the life out of you. By life I mean the life of Christ in your own life. In that moment do not let pride settle in, humble yourself, talk to someone, ask God to search your heart....do anything other than continue to let the enemy squeeze you. The python kills its prey by squeezing the life out of it...the enemy's python spirit kills it's prey by squeezing Christ out of your life. The end result will be death if you do not recognize it. But here is the best news.....it is NEVER to late...EVER...to say "God, help me!". His Love, Grace and Mercy awaits ALL who call upon his name.
