OBEDIENCE = ATTACKS!!! BEWARE!!! BE VERY AWARE!!!

I am sure you all already know this but I just wanted to remind you that obedience equals attacks!!! It will not always be peaches and cream when you finally make it up in your mind to obey the call God has on your life. Trust me, as soon as you step outside of your comfort zone and start doing what God has told you to do, BEWARE, BE VERY AWARE!!! it is not without a fight.

EXTRA, EXTRA read all about it...YOU WILL BE ATTACKED!!!

It's not a matter of IF, But WHEN and HOW.  Attacked in your body, your mind, your marriage, your close relationships, on your job, at school, in ministry, in your finances, with your children etc... So, however the attacks come just try to prepare yourself. I know it's hard because attacks don't play fair, no warning at all.

The devil is mad and he will use anything and anybody to discourage you to walk away from the very thing you were called to do.

Sorry, it just comes with the territory of obedience. Do we really believe that the devil is going to just sit back and freely let you do what God told you to do without interference? Yea right, ok. I wish. Living for Christ would be so much easier and simpler, don't you agree?

It's funny, as long as you were doing your same ole, same ole, everybody was fine with that. Everything was great, but as soon as lives are being changed for the better because of what God has told you to do, 

ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE!!!

The very people you thought was going to be there for you will turn on you. They may encourage you by giving mouth service but in their heart of heart it's nothing but jealousy, wickedness, envy, and strife.

It hurts deeply, heck, It hurts like hell, especially when it's the people you thought would love and support what God is doing in you and through you, but yet they turn their back on you all because of what?

• Maybe God hasn't moved in their lives yet and all of a sudden it's your fault for being obedient..
• Maybe it's because they just don't want to see you making a difference in the lives of people. (I really don't understand this one at all)
• Maybe they want the spot light, whatever that mean...Because the only person that should be in the spot light is GOD, and God only...
• Maybe God told them to do something similar to what you are doing and they weren't obedient like you...

Well, whatever the reason is: Don't apologize for what God is doing in your life. Those days are over. Pray for them, love them, and keep it moving, but please, please, DON'T APOLOGIZE FOR IT!!!

The devil is so STUPID...he hasn't learned yet that "No weapon form against us shall prosper." It may wound, leave scars, sting and even hurt like crazy. It may catch us off guard. It may sucker punch us and even knock us down for a moment or two, or three, or four...but it will not do what it was set out to do... It will NOT steal, kill, or destroy God's plans for your life.

So what do you do?

Well, what I am about to say is easier said then done, heck, even for me...but here it goes: Get up, shake yourself off and:

1. Pray, Pray and Pray some more:

Only God can mend the broken pieces. Only God can comfort you. Only God can love and support you the way you deserve. Only God can change the minds and hearts of people. Only God can heal and put you back together again, (just like humpty dumpty)smile

2. Don't fight fire with fire, but with LOVE: Lord Help me with this one PLEASE!!!

God knows that's a hard saying who can hear it:
It's especially hard when your flesh wants to lash out. When you hurt, you automatically want those who hurt you, to hurt just as much. But God...

3. Keep doing what God has told you to do, despite of...

Even if we are hurting we must still be obedient and trust God.
We can't let what's happening around us keep us bound. We must let the Lord fight our battles. Remember God is not surprised about what's happening. Usually, we're the only ones taken by surprise.

4. Lastly, PRAY, PRAY AND PRAY SOME MORE!!!

There is power in prayer. Now activate it.


Who are you?
You are stronger than your attackers. You will let the Lord fight for you. You will continue being obedient. You are a chosen vessel operating in love despite the difficulty.

Share and Comment with those who just need a reminder during these times of obedience.

Have a Blessed and Purposeful Day,
TPL 😘😘 😘
