Many people think that he is weak and stupid. Others believe there is a God, but laugh if you mention that Satan and demons exist. The reality is that he is extremely clever, completely bent on evil, and very much on the prowl.
The more we understand God’s Word, the better we can safeguard against Satan’s strategies. The more we understand about our God and the authority He has given us, the better equipped we are to resist Satan and send him packing. We need to be prepared to utilize the divine protection that is ours. It’s always better not to wait until the horse is stolen before locking the barn!
Satan has a large army helping him because he can’t be everywhere at once. He is not like God who is all-pervading, all-powerful, and all-knowing. He can’t even bother us unless God allows him to test us or we give him permission by disobeying God. The devil has had more impact on our lives than necessary, because we haven’t always wielded our authority in Christ.
There was a glinch in the link ups. Would you mind relinking your awesome posts? THANKS!
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting me know! I just linked up a different post, the same one that I shared below with Tulip TrueAim. It's about teaching lessons outside of school. I've linked up with my parenting blog, so you'll see your link up button on that site.
DeleteI always enjoy looking at your photos, even the ones of your bathroom. I can't imagine what a mess must greet you every time you need to freshen up! That takes a special kind of grace!
Also, you have beautiful blog buttons! God bless!
Hi Christina, I am stopping by from getting to know you. I think you are already a follower of True Aim. I just loved this post and thought I would stop by and say hello. If you aren't already linked up at Mom's Library I would love if you would join me. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit and info. Yes, I am already a follower of True Aim and now I'm subscribed to Mom's Library and am following via Pinterest. I even grabbed your link up button and placed it on my parenting blog, but I was too late for the link-up. I wanted to share my post on using candy to teach about racial differences and similarities as I saw that this idea had been featured by someone else. Here was my take on the topic:

You have a beautiful site. I have enjoyed blog hopping today. I have joined your site and hope you visit and join mine. Thank you so much, Katie msqueenfashionista.com
ReplyDeleteHi Katie! I checked out your fashion blog and the first thing I saw was your blog hop link-up. I was impressed to see how many people linked up with the Aloha hop. I added 3 of my blogs to that hop. You are one of my visitors and thanks for joining! I'm now following you via GFC.
DeleteI also checked out your collages. I think you have a great idea for using your creativity and making money while you're at it. All the best with your blog and business!
You are such a precious lady.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Thank you! Thank you! Enjoy your day of grocery shopping, vet visit, and time with your sister! God bless!
DeleteI didn't know there was blog hop happening but found your site through another. I appreciate your thoughts here on SW and look forward to browsing your other posts. God bless and keep up the good work of the Lord's.

Hi again, Merrie! I'm your 50th follower! Thanks for leaving the link, so that I could follow you back. I totally understand the need to get fit. I stop and start with exercise. Recently, I began again. It's not something I look forward to, but I always feel better afterwards. I'll pray for you and please pray for me! God bless!
