The Devil Comes to Kill, Steal and Destroy.

Everyone knows the pasage in the the bible, "The Devil Comes to Kill, Steal and Destroy."  But there is a process to block the enemy and he knows this. So he attacks the process. He comes to kill your faith, steal your experience and destroy your memory.

Kill your faith: It all begins with Faith! It's what we trust in but don't see that keeps us going. The devil is a tricky mutha (shut yo mouth). He knows if he can kill your Faith, the body will fall. He's a wolf in sheeps clothing. He's a dude with good game, tattos, a nice smile, a sixpack and a little piece of change. He's a bad chick with a phat asset, long hair, pretty face and easy access. He's a pastor in a 3 piece suit, bible case in hand, in the pulpit preaching on Sunday. The devil wants to gain your trust so he can kill your faith. He will send your fantasy to be your assassin. 

Steal your Experience: The devil wants to highlight the storm of the experience to you, so you don't fully realize the journey of the Experience is leading you to, the Results. You have to be tested before you can get your results. You can't pass a test if you have never been introduced to the subject.  There are so many of us that have been robbed of the experience so we never know better to do better. The devil wants to rob you of your experience so when you face a storm you would have never experienced God's victory in your test. Then when you continously face hard times, your Faith can be broken because you have not experienced God's deliverance.

Destroy your memory: He wants you to forget what God has done in your life so you can no longer see the end results.  He wants to steal your experience by destroying your memory so the next time you go through the same storm, the same situation you will forget that was God Present every step of the way. So if you remember the experience that God has delivered you from, your faith will be stronger and that will block the devil from coming to killl, steal and destroy in you life.  The reason the devil does not want you to get to your results, is because, once you see the Results are GOOD, once you see there is a Blessing at the end of the test, once you see that GOD has, God will and God will continue to deliver you in your past, present and future the devill will have to get thee behind me. Going into this new year, don't let the devil come to Kill, Steal and Destroy the victory God has placed over your life through your FAITH, EXPERIENCE and MEMORY that God is good and He will continue to be Good for those who trust in Him.

I Found A Good Thing......

God favors a man that finds his wife.....The reason I am writing this today is because I can't stop thinking about you, and I can't stop myself from imagining how happy we will be. I ran from this day for a long time. Not because of you but because I was unable to get out of my way and understand my emotions. I haven't completely moved out my way but I have gotten better and this is how I got here today. The crazy thing is I knew this was God's plan for us from the very beginning. The first day we stayed on the phone for hours and i could feel your spirit through the phone. Yes we have had some fights, break ups to make ups, i love you but hate you Jodi times, but I believe in my heart that has made us stronger. But what I love the most about you is, You prayed for me even when I didn't pray for myself. When the world tears me down, you believe that i'm a superhero and make it happen for my family. You have opened my eyes towards my destiny. Sometimes my stubbornness does not allow me to see it but I know that you love me. Look, I don't know all of the difficulties that are before us with this lifetime commitment, but my faith in God makes the faith in us powerful. I promise I will always look at you with the same adoration as I did the moment I realized I loved you. On August 5th, I vow to love you as God loves you. I vow to challenge you to challenge yourself for the better; to make you think differently. I promise to try to inspire to do the same with myself. I promise to strive to be a role model for our children. I want both you and them to see me as a source of motivation. I hope this day is special for you as this time with you has been for me. I have found my good thing. 

Prayer:

You, God, are a shield around us. You protect us from the enemy who seeks to destroy us. Your arm is mighty, and Your Word is powerful. When the enemy attacks my wife, let her faith in You protect her so that she may stand her ground. Bring your Word to her mind so that she may turn aside his assaults and fight the good fight. Help her to remember that You give us the victory through Christ Jesus. Help her to love me through all my failures while I learn to love her as Christ loves the church. May we see each other as You see us, and may we enjoy fulfilling each other’s desires in our marriage.

Jan 23rd

January 23rd will be in my heart and thoughts forever. The day i felt like i lost the most precious treasure i never appreciated until it was gone. But its crazy how God uses certain vessels  and remove certain treasures to make you realize that death, time and love are a designed gift from the one who loves us the most. So for those of you that struggle with the loss of a love one like i do, remember this one thing; Nothings ever really dead if you look at it right.... I miss you momma, Kim Flowers but I realize now that your death opened up purpose for life.
 "We are confident, I say, and would rather be away from this body and at home with the Lord. So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in this body or at home with the Lord."
