When The Enemy Comes Like A Flood..... What Do We do?

What would you do when the enemy throws a torrent of negative thoughts at you? And you dont feel like praying cos you are tired? And you dont feel like reading the bible cos you are having a hard time slowing down your pace to let any word sink in?

What would you do?

My friends, there are times when the enemy of our faith does that. He has a scheduled routine planned out to take us down. Whenever he wants us to stop growing,he discourages with with negative thoughts, frustration . Because he knows that if he can influence out mind, he can deceives us from walking in God's will.

And instead of believing that we are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, we feel far from God, feeling lousy, like a failure.

Don't you feel like that sometimes?

Well.. there is good news, whenever you feel like that, like in every war, we need to find an Ally. We need a friend, a brother or a sister to help us, pray with us, talk to us, listen to us and encourage us. We need to look for the fellow soldiers of God for reinforcement.

The bible says in Galatians 6:2
"Carry each other's burdens , and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ."

We need a Barnarbas in our life who would believe in us and lifts us up when we feel down. To encourage us with God's word that we are still the victorious son/daughter of the Living God.

In turn we too should also look out for our fellow brothers and sisters and be an encouragement to them.

Galatians 6:10
"Therefore if we have the opportunity, let us do good to all people, espescially to those who beling to the family of believers."

Like this, we will build a strong family of allies, formidable and undefeatable against the attacks of the enemy.
