Buyers Remorse

 
   When was the last time you refinanced your home or even purchased a home or new vehicle?  Usually you have a three day period to change your mind.  Made a large purchase for your home?  Have you ever had doubts after bringing it home?

   Did you know that we even have the same doubts when we step forward for God?  God knows that the spiritual battle rages fiercely and that His children are under attack.

   An article in "Daily Guide to Miracles", from Oral Roberts Ministries calls this time a "Blackout Time".  It's when the devil shows up and everything you have set in place becomes all jumbled up.  We start doubting and second guessing ourselves...been there?  Satan's plans have but one purpose: to oppose the Lord.  He attempts this by hindering God's children and preventing the blessings God has set out for our lives.

  Satan loves to separate yourself from your faith.  He places doubt in everything you believe and everything you've stood for.  Satan tailors strategies to our weaknesses and seeks to discredit God in the eyes of His church and the world.

   What do you do?  Go back to God and seek His will that He has prepared you for.  Stand firm against the adversary and he will flee from you.  James 4:7, 8.

   We are battling against a large army--rulers, powers, the dark forces of this world, and the spiritual forces of wickedness in heavenly places. Ephesians 6:11.

   The stronger our faith is, the easier it will be to maintain our position in our spiritual battles.  Soldier of God, are you holding firm?
