It Is Time For Battle!

Life has been a mess lately, with immediate family, extended family, friends, neighbors, even the garage door opener. But especially family. Our relationships have been torn, beaten, tested, and bounced around like a volley ball, tossing from one 'hoping to win' team to the other team who also hopes to win. But in our case it's been our side against the enemies. And I can't stress enough the multiple times the enemy has made a direct dive with the ball against us, trying to tear us down, mock us, and laugh in our face at losing. 1st Peter 4:12-16 He's been active and pretending to play innocent but his act is not overlooked and we recognize him through everything he throws our way. Yet God.....yet God.... God, we believe and trust is in the mist; having his angels fight the spiritual battles that rage in the spiritual warfare against us and over our heads. Rev. 9:11 We actually have this statue (photo'd above)in our home of Satan being overpowered by God's mightiest archangel Michael, placed along side our prayer box (The top drawer of the prayer box is to list prayer requests and under that drawer is another drawer for the time and day prayers were answered, knowing that He does in fact answer and meet all our needs.). This statue is a reminder to me that God has a world, a different world, over our heads, fighting the fights we ask of him on our behalf. We know Satan's future and that God is bigger than everything the enemy throws our way. We trust God is more powerful and has muscles that are as huge as the oceans are deep to fight and punch Satan back to where he resides; in hell. Though I have only selected a few to pray for specific things we are facing in our family, including my marriage, I still ask you as readers that you will pray for strength, patience, faithfulness, and healing as God restores our family to wholeness and that what Satan meant for evil God will use for His good. James 1:2-4 Forgive me for my absence from being online and keeping up with every one's sites and blogs with making regular comments for a bit. We love all your amazing blogs, posts, and articles. They are very uplifting and bless us more than you realize. For now I feel God is calling me to draw closer to Him through reading His word and falling to my knees in prayer. My time will be extremely divided and in this I chose to honor God and what He calls me to do. I will share the praise reports with you all as I know He is faithful to see us through. We are not blind to the fact that these tests don't mean more things won't strike against us down the road, but through these tests we will become stronger and more reliant on Him. Thank you in advance for your prayers. God is an awesome God, and no matter what is thrown your way, know that He will see you through to the other side, stronger and more mighty than before! Praise Him even through the trials. Worship and thank Him in advance for the miracles and healing that only He can provide knowing that He will never abandon you. Hebrews 13:5-6
