When the enemy creeps into our lives, we wonder how he got in.
He creeps in through open areas (places not totally surrendered to God) of our lives.
But, what I want to bring to your attention is this, he wasn't invited.
Now, isn't that something...HA, Lord I thank you.
Think back to when you were in the world and you weren't invited to a party.
You either thought about crashing (inviting yourself) the party OR you did crash the party.
Well, that's what the enemy does...he crashes the party by crashing into our lives.
We must stand in all POWER and AUTHORITY through Christ Jesus and inform him that he was not invited so he MUST VACATE THE PREMISES....IMMEDIATELY!
The one person who should always be invited to your party...wait, I have a better one, the one person who should be the ONLY GUEST is JESUS!!!
So, who's on your guest list?

Are You Set In Your Ways?
Often we hear people state, "Well, I'm set in my ways so, take it or leave it." Well, God spoke to me this morning:
We are not to be set in our ways. We are to exchange our ways for God's Ways.
Only GOD is allowed to be set in His Ways because it's all about Him and will always be about Him...not us.
Our ways should be set only in & on His Word...this way you will never be moved by every doctrine, well, false and unwavering doctrine that is; you will never keep accepting just anything; you will stop making excuses for being "set in your ways", but you will be set on a solid rock which is JESUS.
So, will you continue to choose being "set in your ways" or will you choose JESUS' WAYS? Are you truly & wholeheartedly willing to give up all for HIM?
TODAY, please take time to do a self-evaluation of yourself and your "set ways." Whatever GOD asks for, release it to Him and receive your replacement - HIM.

Don't Know
Don't know whether to cry or what to feel?
Lord, what are you asking of me?
Lord, what is Your Will for me?
Lord, why am I feeling this way...uncertain, not in You or of You, but uncertain of not knowing what to do, where to go, etc.
Lord, I feel lost, but I know I'm not; I feel confused, but about what?
Lord, I just don't know. . .
"My Child, I have promised you that I will never leave you nor forsake you...I AM HERE...STAND UPON THIS TRUTH!"

Your Precious Love
Oh, how precious Your Love is for me.
You know my every move and every thought.
You whisper "sweet nothings" in my ear to ensure me of how much you love me,
but when needed, you chastise me when I'm wrong or out of line.
During our time of intimacy, you fulfill my every need.
You wrap me in Your loving arms where I feel safe & secure.
When I lay my head on Your chest, I can hear the blood flowing through the arteries of your heart.
It flows so rapidly because of how much you're in love with me.
Oh, how strong Your Love is for me.
You love me like none other.
When my love is directed elsewhere, you remind me of how jealous you are and that I belong to You.
Your Love will forever be true.
Lord, I'm thankful for Your Unconditional Love and for all You are in my life.
Lord, I Love You!

Why, Why, Why?
Why is it we would rather experience pain and disappointment instead of You, Your Love and Joy?
Why do we waddle in "self-pity" when we can bask in Your Holiness?
Why do we continually say we need help or that nobody will help us, but when You're there to help or send help, we refuse it?
Why do we allow ourselves to think we can dictate our own lives when we can let You take control of our every thought and will which would lead us to our purpose and destiny?
Why do we hurt others because we're hurting, when You're standing there waiting to love our hurt away?
Why do we run from You?
Why do we hurt You?
Why do we disappoint You?
AND why do we hate You, Lord?
We're afraid of Your Will, Your Perfection and what it requires.

Pressing Through. . .
It's hard to rejoice in You when my heart is heavy and my mind is filled with many thoughts.
It's hard to sing Your praises when my current situations haven't changed on each new day.
It's hard to be joyful knowing there's nobody supporting the destiny You have for me.
It's hard to lift my hands in worship to You when I cannot see how my financial needs will be met.
How do you expect me to do all of this when I don't fell up to it?
BUT in spite of how I feel, I press towards You.
I must sacrifice my all to give You Praise.
And Lord, please accept MY PRAISE!

Lord, you tell me I will accomplish Your Will and be all You have me to be,
but I must be honest, Lord, I'm afraid.
Lord you ask, "Why are you afraid, my child?" I reply, "because I don't feel I'm equipped to do what you've asked of me and most importantly, I don't want to FAIL YOU!"
A moment of quietness fills my spirit. . .
Then, I speak encouragement. . ."Lord you've never failed me so, I must & will strive to do the same for You. Lord, please help me to do Your Will and become what You Have me to be."
