Follow The Lord's Instruction Closely In Spiritual Battle

It is human nature to worry about tomorrow. What if I can't do this, what if things don't work well tomorrow.. what if we often let what has yet to happen to rob away our present happiness in Lord. Before Jericho, the Lord said to Joshua, " See, I have delivered Jericho into your hands, along with its king and its fighting men.." God is always there, He is always present in your sadness, your current helplessness, your current family problem, relationship problems and even your insufficiency. But we often forget, we are often being frightened by what have yet to comeÉ the what if's in your mind - Satan is always instilling the fear, the deceptions and confuse our spirits so that we cannot look at the truth of God and draw strength from it. Behind the problem we are seeing everyday is actually the deeper spiritual battles that we need to fight against Satan - who is attacking us in every possible way just to divert us away from God's truth so that we feel the gospel irrelevant. But God has a precise instruction to our problems now, so that we can stand against the devil's scheme. Be in sync with God, hear what the Lord says and follow it carefully. As we wait upon the Lord and see what He is doing right now in our lives, we will then not be distracted by Satan into following our own desires and emotions. The Lord is not slow in fulfilling His promise and He has time for everything, therefore, go into prayer and ask God to reveal the very next thing we can do while waiting for His timetable. As we develop the instinct to hear Him through prayers, our faithful God will not hide from you and when the perfect time comes, your Jericho will be conquered, as you become more intimate with God.

<Luke 9: 57-62>

At this moment, when we face the pressure of this period, do we struggle within? When we hear the voices and information from people, do we bring all these before God? All these voices are mixed in unclear ways, therefore we need to enter into deeper prayers. When we need to face the reality, shoulder the pressure and make choices, will the Holy Spirit not instruct us? When you are in crisis and you have to make a decision, we have to wrestle it through our hearts. I hope that we can learn the lesson of truly following God. This comes with a price but God will surely lead and bear responsibilities. God hears our prayers.

“Do not do it because of self generated courage or strength, but because of the conviction God has placed in us.”

This epidemic truly differentiates people. The gospel is the power of God that saves those who believe. The strong will be stronger, the foolish will be even more foolish. So we should gather all the more in the word of God. We should pray for this era and continue coming before God, affirming His will.
