Fighting Satan

[Saucy]

Wow, I can't help but feel the last month of my life has been one huge battle. Typically, I'm spirited and you can't wipe the smile from my face...but lately I've been a walking zombie. I hate the way I feel and have been acting. Recently, I figured out that it's just that season in my life...so how do I get it to end? How do I figure out how to defeat this monster that's brewing inside me? My ministry is growing larger, I have new people in my life that I love dearly and my next move could ruin everything...or build me up higher than before. I always bounce back from these awful seasons, but I'm tired of who I've become. I'm ready to get on with my life...but Satan's not letting go. He knows what I stand for and is trying to take me out. Please pray for me! God Bless you all!

The answer is prayer. Here are some verses for you.

Romans 5:3-5 (Amp)
3Moreover [let us also be full of joy now!] let us exult and triumph in our troubles and rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that pressure and affliction and hardship produce patient and unswerving endurance.

4And endurance (fortitude) develops maturity of character (approved faith and tried integrity). And character [of this sort] produces [the habit of] joyful and confident hope of eternal salvation. 5Such hope never disappoints or deludes or shames us, for God's love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit Who has been given to us.

Phillipians 4:13 (Amp)
13I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me [I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me; I am self-sufficient in Christ's sufficiency].

And when you pray remember;
John 14:13-14 (Amp)
13And I will do [I Myself will grant] whatever you ask in My Name [as presenting all that I AM], so that the Father may be glorified and extolled in (through) the Son.
14[Yes] I will grant [I Myself will do for you] whatever you shall ask in My Name [as presenting all that I AM].

I'm sure we all understand. I most certainly do. It sometimes seems like its a never ending battle. But yes, I agree with the above. Prayer is the Best thing. PRAY HIM CRAZY!! Lol...you know what I mean, Pray and call on Jesus so much that Satan can't stand to mess with you. I will keep you in prayers!

Thank you all and those verses really encouraged me!

A lot of what I'm struggling with is my two best friends are about to start dating. What's wrong with that??? Well, the girl is someone I've had that crush on and she let me down by saying she was interested in someone else. Everytime we all get together...I get so jealous. And angry. Man, they are so into each other and I don't like it. It's something I have to get past.

Hey man that's tough but anger and jealousy are not from the spirit; pray and give it to the Lord.

My opinion would be to deal with the feelings and not with the situation, if you understand what I mean. An option would be to spend less time with them and instead let Jesus heal your hurt.
