The War
I am just starting to realize how to control this war in my head. We are learning in our Wednesday night class about the war that the devil wages. Did you know that the devil doesn't care about us, he's just using us to get to the Father. A few months ago I realized that through my life and my brothers and sisters lives, the devil was using us to discourage my dad. A great father, and an excellent teacher. When I realized that it made me so mad. So today I just couldn't figure out what my problem was. I didn't have any energy, I didn't have anything to say, (not normal for me) so I started asking God for His help. I don't like being miserable, and then it hit me the devil was waging war in my mind. Well when I realized the devil was using me, something welled up inside of me. I told the devil you have no place here. The atmosphere around me WILL be a place where God can abide. No longer will I criticize people around me. I said devil you will not use me to get to my Father. I was angry when I realized that the devil was using me to get to my earthly father, but with the realization that what I did affected God, I was livid. Devil, you will not pass here.

I'm beginning to think that your Dad may not be the only one in your family that is a great teacher...well said!
Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.
Go get 'em.
