Spiritual Warfare is inevitable & unavoidable if you are determoned to totally live for JESUS, and being ignorant of this or trying to ignore this subject won't make it cease or lessen in assault.
Therefore, we must learn to battle with supernatural authority;
. The safest place in this battle is at JESUS' feet and walking in His authority.
.Never allow anyone or anything distract , delay , defer or deter from God's call on your life .
.When we refuse to back down in fear the enemy of our souls becomes terrified.
.Submission 7 obedience to JESUS is your best defense , offense & weapon in your favour.
.Remember ... THE GATES OF HELL WILL NOT PREVAIL AGAINST THE ARMY OF THE LORD........................!
. Claim it , remind yourself daily that through JESUS you are VICTORIOUS .
Praying for my readers & beyond .

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE KINGDOM OF GOD LIVING & THE SELF-CENTRED KNGDOM OF DARKNESS
God gives us all a choice : to consider ourselves 'divine'n& to say 'my will be done' or to submit to the love & calling of God upon our lives & be open to say 'THY WILL BE DONE'. The amazing paradox of the latter is that we find ourselves & gain freedom as never before. Jesus wants the very best for us in our lives & it is we who deny ourselves quite alot ( in fact very much) if we choose to control our own destinies.
There are two distinctly different poems that articulate accurately the complete difference between self & ego centricity , compared to JESUS being invited to be LORD of our lives .
"UNCONQUERABLE"
Out of the night that covers me ,
Black as the pit from pole to pole;
I thank whatever gods may be
For MY unconquerable soul,
In the fell clutch of circumstance ,
I have not winced nor cried aloud;
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath & tears
Looms but the horror of the shade;
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, & shall find me, unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll;
I am the master of my fate,
I AM THE CAPTAIN OF MY SOUL.
W. E . Henley
Compare that DNA to this reflection penned by Dorothea Day :
MY CAPTAIN
Out of the light that dazzles me,
Bright as the sun from pole to pole ;
I thank the God I know to be
For Christ, the Conqueror of my soul.
Since His the sway of circumstance,
I would not wince nor cry aloud;
Under the rule which men call chance
My head with joy is humbly bowed.
Beyond this place of sin & tears,
That life with HIM & HIS the aid;
That spite the menace of the years
Keeps, & shall keep me, unafraid.
I have no fear though strait the gate;
He cleared from punishment the scroll;
CHRIST IS THE MASTER OF MY FATE,
CHRIST IS THE CAPTAIN OF MY SOUL.
Praying for all my readers and encouraging you to look to JESUS ...... He is so trustworthy .
JOHN 3:16
