Foreign Invaders

I have a little anatomy lesson today.  Did you realize we all have cancer cells roaming around in our bodies?  Every day you wake up and cancers cells run around inside.  Also, viruses and bacteria roam around trying to find some healthy cell to consume and take over.  These foreign, unwanted, destructive cells lurk around for a home. 

Each day before you even finish your breakfast, the cancer cells diminish and the viruses are probably under attack.  Our body senses these foreign invaders and prepares for battle.  Your body produces specific cells to go and attack the unwanted cancers and viruses.  These good cells take one for the team by combating the plan for annihilation against the body.  Once defeated, your body goes on about the day without you realizing you were under attack.  God's creation is amazing!

He shall say: “Hear, Israel: Today you are going into battle against your enemies. Do not be fainthearted or afraid; do not panic or be terrified by them.  For the LORD your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory.” (Deuteronomy 20:3-4)

"Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." (Romans 12:21) 

Each day our minds receive attack from Satan.  His lies consume our thoughts and roam around looking for Truth to destroy.  Also, this world comes with full force at us, throwing fiery darts.  We have ugly words spat at us, destructive situations surrounding our day, negative attitudes creeping next to us, unwanted storms in life and the enemy lurking to feed off these moments.  Are we going to stand unprepared, naive, unaware and allow destruction in and around our lives?  OR, are we going to take one for His team and overcome evil with good?

He will fight for you.  All you need to do is accept Him in your life, believe Him, trust Him and acknowledge that He is your Lord and Savior.  His Word is alive and active, sharper than any double-edged sword.  The things Satan intends for harm and destruction, God will bring good and accomplish His plan. 

As long as you breathe, trials and tribulation will exist.  But take a stand against it and ask the Holy Spirit to work through you.  Access His power within you to stay focused on the prize, eternal life with our Creator.  He loves you so much and wants joy, unending joy for your life.  Let Him fight those battles for you so Satan cannot destroy your life or hold you in bondage.

God, thank you for this day.  Thank You for bringing Truth into my life.  Your Word has set me free and I believe Your promises.  I see them active in my life.  Thank You for defeating Satan.  Continue to consume my every thought and move.  Guide me in the direction You plan for me.  I love You.

Keep praying harder than the devil can work.
