Fire at will
Do we blame the devil or not? Often times as Christians we have a tendancy to give the enemy way too much credit. Many times what is going wrong in our lives has to do with unwise choices we have made. However, there is no doubt in my mind when you are in the center of God's will, satan will intentionally and relentlessly throw his arsonal in your path to divert you away from God's plan and purpose. This week, in the ministry of TPC is a great example. We just came off an incredible week of the makeover project where people inside the church and outside were impacted. Then this week is the women's conference. In other words we stirred up a hornet's nest. Myself and several other people just that I know of personally, have been bombarded with missles from the enemy. It's been rough. But I want you to know, I couldn't be happier or more excited! No, seriously! As the body of Christ we are advancing forcefully and the devil can't stand it. I never will be able to be in a church that is not smack dab on the front lines. This is where the action is. Don't ever retreat, keep firing!

Great word. This just confirmed to me something things I've been battling and pushing through the last few weeks. I asked God this morning to help me understand why all of a sudden things seem to be falling apart around me. I've had more car troubles the month (yes month) than I've had in the last 9 years combined. God's blessed me through all of them. And, to add to that, I was in a minor car accident yesterday along with about 2-3 other things that just went bad. We ultimately though know that we are his and must keep our eyes focused on what's ahead rather feeling sorry for ourselves!
That was a great word. We do tend to give satan more credit than due. I think that is because we like to forget that we have free will. How do we react to what is happening, when things are falling apart. Free will, God gave it to us and we need to remember our choices and attitudes should be our focus, not the little tid bit that satan threw at us. What did we chose to do and what was our attitude in that situation.
