Daily Devotional. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Ephesians 6:12. Would you like to know, exactly, just how tough this spiritual battle really is? Just how hard it is for YOU, personally, as you read this? Would you like to see just how hindered you are to receiving all the blessings and promises of God, for you today? The answer to these questions will show you how much influence the enemy has in your Life. Influence you have given to him, the enemy, to affect your life. Ok, here goes. YOU HAVE JUST WON THE BILLION $$$ LOTTERY, CHRIST, AND EVERYTHING HEAVEN HAS TO OFFER YOU FOR ALL ETERNITY, AND YOU’RE NOT 100% GRABBING FOR IT!!!!! How do I know this about you? Because we’re ALL in the same boat together. We’re just nibbling around the edges, some are even going deeper for more, but no one has gone for Christ with everything they have, NO ONE. No matter where we are in Christ, there is something that hinders our Walk with Christ, and that hindrance is because we allow it to. Satan can only push us as much as we allow him to. He has been defeated, finished, done deal. He can only influence to the degree we allow him to. In Christ, we can no longer use the excuse, “The devil made me do it”. He can’t make you do squat. You and I have to CHOOSE to Follow Christ with every single decision we make throughout the day. It doesn’t matter how we reason or justify, obedience is obedience and disobedience is disobedience. It doesn’t get any simpler than that. Christ has made A Way, if we will but choose to follow it. HE IS THE WAY. Judge yourself now, so Christ won’t have to later. Be encouraged, go for the Gold. Challenge yourself today to obey HIM, and not him, that you may even more, Be Blessed.
