I guess its been a long time since I have written my thoughts down. I have begun this world wind, this rollercoaster of emotion once again. It seems as though the moment you begin to get right with God, Satan stands in your way questioning every step you take. For a week or too you are strong and don’t notice the nagging evil. You go through life with this spiritual high, nothing can touch you. Then one day you begin to ask “why” or “what” or “wait a minute”. Its almost like you have been glazed over from reality, or I guess the reality as you knew it to be. Then you begin to say things like “How will I pay that bill” or “it’s the end of the month already?” Your outlook begins to fall back to what it was before except now you get this feeling like you haven’t tried hard enough as though you were distracted. Frustration sets in. All the truth that you were following, the new reality that you were trusting in begins to look so far away. The Battle begins. When that little speck of doubt begins to set in Satan uses it like a pry bar. God is still in control, but it looks and feels like you are going crazy. Ups and down. It is almost like a time to truly commit or run away. Satan wants to win, but knows the reality. If we choose to follow Christ there is nothing he can do. Satan does not have any power over us. His only ability is to convince us he does. I equate him to a magician. By using smoke and mirrors, he is able to convince us of a reality that does not exist. We have more power then he does and with the power of Jesus Christ on our side nothing can stop us.
