“We are children of the Lord..so that in turn places us in the Army of God..Amen..so for one..the first thing that a soldier does is never retreat..and never give in..Amen..they stand for what they believe in..they don’t straddle the fence..they go toward the enemy full force..and they know that they must always be prepared for battle..Amen..so the same with us guys..we are in a war against the enemy of our very souls..and he always wants us to quit..he wants us to stop..to give up..to give in..to get depressed..to be defeated..to literally just lying down and closing up shop..Amen..just throwing the towel in and surrendering..not ever to make it to the place of victory that God has for us..and each of us..so when the thought or even thoughts come suddenly to flood your mind..with thoughts of failure and defeat..than you rise and you stand in the armor of God..you don’t hear and don’t listen to the enemy when he begins to speak to you and your life..for believe me you’ll know his ole ugly voice..cause every time it is nothing more than the thoughts of negativity and thoughts of all the times in your life that things didn’t work out..or you failed..or simply all of the reasons why you can’t do things now

“For you see God is once again in control..and God knows where you are in life..He knows what is taking place in your life..He knows everything..there is nothing that has happened to you or happening to you right now that God our Father doesn’t know about..but the thing about it all is that we don’t quit..regardless of what is happening..we don’t give the enemy nothing of who we are..Amen..because God loves us..and God has a plan..for He says in His word..”But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint..Isaiah 40:31..Amen..because waiting I know for me is not an easy thing to do..it is super hard..Amen..but sometimes even waiting just a little bit I get aggravated..but I do try to be better and I pray you all as well are doing the same..Amen..so let us all stand fast in the liberty wherewith Christ our Lord has set us free..Galatians 5:1..and let us stand and stand firm for our Father..fighting the good fight of faith..1 Timothy 6:12..knowing that everything we do and everything we say matters and matters greatly..so set the example..follow the Lord..be a soldier like none other..loving and serving Jesus with every step and every corner it is that you take for the Master..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi ❤
