At the start of this new week...
Should someone…try…your patience…at some point along the way. Step back. Give it to the Lord. Ask the Holy Spirit to fill you up to over-flowing and ask Him to see the person who is causing you to struggle through HIS eyes.
Should circumstances not go the way you had planned…take a prayer “breather.” Ask the Lord Jesus for His guidance. Is this His moving in your life? Is it the enemy’s? Hmmm…could it be your own doing? Don’t do anything till you sense the Lord’s direction and then move forward with His leading.
If a temptation overtakes you that you can’t seem to find “victory” over…you may be dealing with a stronghold in your life…in other words, somehow the adversary has taken some ground in an area of your soul (heart and/or mind). Seek someone to confess to, to be accountable to, and don’t give up. Where the Spirit of the Lord is…there is freedom! ** 2 Cor. 3:17
Should a situation in your life: financial, relational, physical… seem greater than what you can handle...He already knows. His strength is made perfect in your weakness!
2 Cor. 12:9
This is a week of new beginnings, hopes that will be realized, and miracles to watch for. Keep your eyes open, your heart tender, and your mind from distraction. This week will be awesome in Jesus, no matter what you face, because Who is in you is greater than anything!
