Arriving at THAT Point

I can vouch that migraines rank number one in worst physical experiences ever.  They sneak in slowly via tension pain in the temple area.  Then, the pain moves behind the eyes causing vision impairment.  Oh, the migraine does not stop there, though I wish it would.  It begins to destroy mobility, steal balance and kill cognition.  Once destroying the head, the effects move to the stomach causing nausea.  The beast called a migraine has taken over and destroyed any plans for the day leaving you bound in pain/suffering without an escape.

Over the years, I found one solution and one solution only: catch the pain when it first strikes.  As I feel the tension rise, Tylenol must be found quickly to rescue me from suffering.  Not much play room exists between the point when Tylenol will help and the point of no return.  Once at THAT point the sufferer must find a dark room with low decibel.  If wearing contacts, they must come out as well.  Twelve+ hours sleep will help the migraine vanish.  The next morning the body feels beat up, but cognition, vision, balance and mobility return.

“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” John 10:10

Often times throughout our Christian journey the enemy sneaks into our lives only to destroy mobility, steal balance and kill cognition.  The enemy’s attack ranks number one in worst emotional experiences ever.  He moves in slowly blurring vision by appealing to the flesh.  Oh, he does not stop there!  He will create a fork in the path and begin shuffling your feet in the direction he deems best for your life.  As you move, balance diminishes with each step and falling into his arms appears the only way to survive.  Once in his hold, lie by lie replaces the Truth hacking into cognition leading to further travel down the crooked path.  The beast called Satan takes over your life then spreads out to others you meet.  Any plans created for your life move to the back burner as he bounds you in pain/suffering without an escape. . .or so it seems.

Over the years, I found One solution and One solution only: remain in His word daily.  When feeling the strain of life, His Word must be used quickly to rescue from the enemies tactics.  Not much play room exists between the point of avoiding the enemy’s foothold and the point of shifting to the crooked path.  Living in The Word daily keeps the crooked path at a distance keeping mobility functioning at its best, vision clear, balance intact and cognition alive and well.

“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” Romans 12:2 

No need to give up if you venture down the crooked path.  God remains present, waiting with arms wide open.  Once at THAT point the sufferer must find a private place with lowest decibel.  Remove the blurry goggles, open up The Bible and begin meditating on Truth.  Slowly, Truth by Truth will replace the lies and renew your mind.  Symptoms vanish with each step taken in faith, relying on God to bring healing and clarity.  God will remove you from bondage and repair any damage done to others due to previous decisions.  Rely on Him and He will restore the plans originally created for your life.  He will rebuild.  He will protect.  He will revive.  

Trust Him!

AND. . .

Keep praying harder than the devil can work.
