Being Attacked

So lately, I feel like I have been being attacked. I have felt the devil take every opportunity to make me feel sick and just down right cruddy. Lately my little brother has been listening to this song by one of his favorite bands, Oh Sleeper. It is called 'Son of the Morning vs The Finisher'. You can click http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkWvl1_zb_Q to go to it or listen to it here and click below.

***Fair warning this is a metal band that has screaming in it so if that isn't your type of music you might not want to click, but I hope you do chose to click and watch it.

H=God Ex. Him, He, His

h=devil Ex. him, he, his

(*This is a note for the ones that didn't want to listen to it, and that's all right, I won't put it against you. This song is pretty much a chat between the devil and God. It starts out with the devil saying how he thinks that he is more powerful than God. That God hasn't won anything. Damning Jesus because He took the devils 'light'. Stating that he will soon claim the thrown. Then God starts talking. How the devil just speaks in a whisper and how His speaking quiets the seas and when He breathes He can break the devil's neck. That God will calm the world, all that has been corrupted by the devil. God will take out the devil if he keeps the world from searching Him and take away his shade. He will put him in his place. God is the Finisher and He is Forever. The devil will fear the angels from heaven when they lift their wings. He will finish him when He cuts off his horns.)

My typing and interpretations for this song doesn't do it justice so please, if you are able to spare the time, please click on it. 

It was definitely a needed song to listen to. Because lately I feel like the devil has been attacking me. Using what I have gone through and geared it to work for him. For those of you that don't know I leave for a trip out of the country for a couple weeks on Monday with a youth delegation. There are three people that are sick but we hope and pray for them to be fully recuperated. This is how the devil works. By kicking his offense down while they are weakened because his defense isn't too, well let's just say good. he wants to make sure that we will get occupied in something else rather than do God's work. By the devil attacking me right now while I am off guard and kicking me while I am down I am afraid that I won't experience what the full experience that God intended for these next couple weeks. Re-listening to this song assures me that with the help of God, I won't distracted. That with the help of God, nothing can stand in my way. That with the help of God I am able to experience anything beyond what I can imagine.

And same goes for you. Don't let the devil kick you while you are down! If you let him get to you like that then you will never experience what God intended. Which is more wonderful than you can fathom.

I also listened to 'You Alone Can Rescue' by Passion, 'Stronger', and 'The One Who Save' by Hillsong recommended by one of my dear friends, which were other great reminders. (So if you didn't listen to the first song, or didn't like it, I highly recommend listening to if not one but all of these.

I hope you enjoyed this post, and thank you for reading. If you would, could you please remember me and my delegation over these next couple weeks and say a prayer for us as we go on God's journey? That would mean more to me than you know! :) 

Let me know what you think about what the post, so please comment. It would make my day. :)

Love Always and God Bless
