Good morning fellow disciples.
As we go through life we encounter various situations, some of which may be pleasing and some which may be distressing. These can test our faith in God. When we are tested it is up to us to choose whether we sin against God or keep on trusting Him regardless of the situation.
We should see troubles as opportunities to prove that we trust God. During these times we should draw closer to God and be more militant against the enemy. The enemy is not flesh or blood, but it may use persons to effect these testing and trials upon us. As we fight we should conquer the enemy in the spirit and defeat the physical manifestation.
Sometimes our fight will be just spiritual warfare without interaction with any human beings. Sometimes we have to interact with humans, but in doing so we should realize that it’s the spirit behind them that is the problem.
Or approach to the humans in our trials and testing should be such that we follow the Holy Spirit’s leading at all times. Sometimes they will require a stern rebuke, or they themselves may need deliverance because they are held captive by the enemy and are being used by him.
No matter what happens to us we must still keep our faith and trust in God! Surrender to Him, submit to Him, serve Him, and obey Him in all things.
Prayer: Father God, no matter what is happening in my life, mi chos iina yu siem wie ! Amen.
