And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household. -Matthew 10:36
Beloved think it not strange when you are at war with those in your own household. Your own family, your Blood, the ones you grew up with, known all your life, the ones who know you the best. These are the very ones who will rival against you. Now that you are born again and loving your life for Jesus Christ. These very people are familiar with you and cannot receive the new you. They are stuck on the you that you used to be, even if they tried to like you their demons will not allow it.
As in several of my post I like to remind my readers that Ephesians 6:12 stands. We are not wrestling against flesh and blood but against principalities, powers, rulers of darkness, spiritual host of wickedness In high places. Us being spiritual must move through a spiritual perspective as Christ has taught us. For us to be wise as a serpent and gentle as a dove, loving from a distance and praying for them to be delivered. The Lord has Graced you for the battle, he will not allow you to be tempted above what you can bear. Meaning he is saying you are capable to bear this and stand in your full Armor, having done all to stand he says STAND.
He will vindicate you through it all and give you his Peace which surpasses all understanding. Yes while going through it fear, worry, anxiety will try to oppress you. Don’t give in use your spiritual weapons the sword of the spirit which is the word of God and your shield of Faith to quench the fiery darts of the enemy. It is all to strengthen you and to increase your patience also preparation. In the crushing more oil is produced and the Glory of God in your life is increased.
Though it hurts, it’s breaking you, it’s uncomfortable it is all for your good. You are maturing in Christ, your eyes are being opened up. To see what’s truly in your family, and the foundation of your bloodline so that you pray against these very things. The Lord God Almighty will never put you through anything to hurt you. He is your comfort through it all, press into the Lord, draw closer to him. It is in Jesus where you will find refuge and all the answers you seek. Not in anything outside of you, those things will not fill the voids or answer your questions only Jesus can.
In these situations it is easy to fall into idolatry. The devil is aware of this so he will send things to deceive you. Which are his traps to trap you in the sin of idolatry. Be sober and vigilant because your adversary the devil is walking about as a roaring lion seeking whom to devour. Never forget that the Lord is right there with you turn to him. Humble yourself in his presence forget about all around you. He wants to refresh, strengthen, direct, and instruct you. Beloved don’t take the access you have to God for granted, it is your only way out. Blessings Shalom. Glory be unto the Lord God Almighty. Thank you Jesus.
