I have to be frank with each and everyone of you. I have lost my way in Christ. I have stopped living for Christ. I won't say that I have succumbed to it because I'm still here by the mercies of God. I have not surrendered completely and I sure as heck have not died. I have been a derailed train, trying to get back on track. I have no one to blame but myself. I have not been reading of the Word. That right there is opening oneself up to attacks that can't be fought off.
Let's think about that statement for a second. Let's think about what the Bible has said about the Word: "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart," Hebrews 4:12. The Word is apart of the armour of God (Ephesians 6:10-18). This is our weapon. A great team has great offense and great defense. You can't win a game without the other one.
If the ballgame is tied 2-2 and you can't get your's runners home, you don't stand a chance at winning. The same is like this for us. How are we to win, if we have no offense-if we are constantly struggling with the world? We can't. We have to push forward. We have to fight back. The only way we can do this is by going into the Word. I'm beginnning in Genesis and will be doing a chronological study of the Word. I'm feeling WAY better than I did last week.
Remember saints that there is NOTHING nor ANYONE worth going to hell for!!! Keep pressing forward in our daily reading. Let's spend time meditating on His Word. If not, y'all end up like me: a detrailed train, trying go get back on tracks.
Pray for me brothers and sisters.
Love ya,
Mary
