No evil can stand before you!




“The Lord will cause the enemies who rise up against you to be defeated before you; they will come out against you one way, but flee before you seven ways." 
Deuteronomy 28:7

The devil has mission in this world: to kill, to steal and to destroy (John 10:10). He knows that each of us was created in God´s image and by messing with us he intends to attack God. He knows that God has designed us to live a life full of glory and joy and he will try his best for us not to experience that type of life. This is his job.

That is exactly what he tried to do in Job´s life. He killed his children, took away his riches, he caused Job to suffer physically through diseases, and emotionally by not finding support in his wife and friends when he needed most. All that resulted in a inner war in which Job started to doubt God´s goodness and lose sight of his former peace with Him. 

This is the devil´s final goal! To cause us to doubt God´s goodness and have our peace and trust shaken. The devil surely thought it was Job´s end. Just like when he orchestrated the "perfect plan" in order to kill Jesus and, therefore, destroy the Savior of man. But what the devil thought it was Jesus´end, that was exactly the ground of his full victory! No matter how HARD the devil tries... even when we reach the ground and are in the miry clay, YET God will always come to rescue us and make something beautiful out of that mess.

"He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings." Psalm 40:2

When I look at my own life, there was a time when I thought it was the end; the devil had won the battle; I was defeated on the ground. But this is NEVER true when it comes to knowing that our Father God NEVER gives up on us. There is no such a thing as "ex-child of God". We are his precious treasure. He will rise up and come to rescue us! He is our strength in our weakness. The devil IS defeated. He shall come out against us one way, but he -will- flee before us seven ways! And the next step in our lives will be even more glorious than before. 

“I know that You can do all things, and that no thought or purpose of Yours can be restrained." Job 42:2

Get ready to live a glorious life, for His plans will never be frustrated. You will rise up stronger than ever before and the devil will regret to have messed up with a child of God! 


For the Spirit of God is IN us and this is what He does:

"bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, 
the oil of joy instead of mourning,
and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair.
They will be called oaks of righteousness, 
a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor." 
Isaiah 61:2-3

Learning to manage time...

To every thing there is a season,  and a time to every purpose under the heaven... Ecclesiastes 3:1  Nowadays one of people´s greatest excuses is: "I don´t have time". But it really amazes me  how that Jesus seemed to have time to every little and big thing as he walked on earth! It is interesting to think that, besides all the daily concerns people normally have (working, making the bed, doing the dishes, being with family...), Jesus was here on earth as GOD as well, so we could sum up some more  concerns there!  YET, he was not moved by schedules, but by love and compassion.  When Jesus saw her, He felt great compassion for her,  and said to her, “Do not weep.”  Luke 7:13 It amazes me how that he would manage his agenda. A number of times we read passages showing that he made his communion with the Father his priority! The success of the rest of the day depended on this time of his day.  Very early in the morning, while it was still dark,

Taking delight in God´s will...

Image
I often wondered why it seemed to be so hard for us to accept God´s will.  Thinking about this, two things come to my mind: 1) Most of the time we are convinced that our own plans are the BEST way to attain our goals, to reach that place of peace and happiness; 2) We are not aware of God´s LOVE and the fact that every bit of His will has its root in HIS DEEP LOVE towards us. We have been deceived by being led to think that God only displays his will in order to mess up with our own plans. Submitting to his will often sounds like we are being nulyfied; it is usually not taken as a reason for joy, but for sorrow. BUT all that is NOT even close to THE TRUTH about God´s will for our lives. Again: we must remember that ALL HIS WILL IS ROOTED IN HIS DEEP LOVE FOR US!... We are HIS CHILDREN and every good father´s will is to do ALL HE CAN in order to cause his child to live an ABUNDANT LIFE, to prosper in ALL their ways and to be HAPPY.  So everything starts with t

Being a living magnet: attracting good things...

Surely goodness and mercy  shall follow me all the days of my life...  Psalm 23:6 One of the greatest issues in our hearts is doubting. It is like we KNOW in a way that God is good and He blesses us in many ways but we usually see it as a matter of SEASONS. There are seasons when we are happy, healthy, blessed... others not so! and this causes us not to be so SURE that things will be alright all the time .  But king David, even after facing great hardships (riots, persecution, betrayals), he would NOURISH one THOUGHT in his heart: THE ASSURANCE that God´s goodness and love would follow him ALL THE DAYS of his life. The only weapon against doubt is assurance. So we can always fight doubts in our hearts by simply declaring "SURELY his goodness and mercy will follow me"... We also see the prophet Isaiah teaching us such truth concerning our health (physical and emotional):  -Surely- he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows... (Isaiah 53:4)
