...As Long as it is Called Today... by Chelle

I am so glad you joined us on this adventure! Jenelle did a great job setting up this blog and I can't wait to see how God uses it.

I love God and His Word. I love to read it and study it. I love it when He shares some truth with me. But most of all, I love to see His glory in action. I get so overwhelmed with emotion when I see Him working, when He shows me that He is real and alive. And I know that if I have eyes to see, ears to hear and a heart that believes He has got some GLORY to unveil right before me! I want to be a part of it. I want to feel it. I want to touch it. Don't you?


It seemed so simple to type all of that out BUT, you and I both know that in this world there is "not a lot of simple" going on. In the paragraph above I wrote some of the things I love. As much as I want to see and live a life abundant in Christ there is something lurking out there trying to do all that he can to destroy my thoughts, my desires and ultimately my life so that I don't taste any of God's goodness and (so sadly) that God can't unveil His glory through me. There is something out there that doesn't want you or I to fulfill our plan set out by the King of all King's.

And what is that plan for each one of us? I don't know exactly, but what I do know is that the plan includes hope, prosperity and a future. I know this to be true and that's why I get so fired up 'til I just can't sit on it any longer... so bear with me as I pour out my heart to you....


I AM SICK TO DEATH. I AM ANGRY. AND I AM READY TO FIGHT. Girls, in the last year and a half my eyes have REALLY been opened to the real attacks we, as women, are under. Of course, before that I knew there was spiritual warfare. No doubt I knew it was real and had seen and felt its devastating arrows. I knew the power of prayer and the power of God's Word. I have seen and felt the power of God's healing touch. I have had personal victories and quietly(and sometimes not so quietly) suffered defeats. But especially in this last year and a half I have realized that I don't have to sit and take it.

There is power in His Word, there is power in His Name and there IS a reason why Jesus tells us to be self-controlled and alert. He tells us to resist the devil and stand firm in the faith. He tells us this because He knows first hand that satan is prowling around looking for someone to devour. I don't want to be devoured and I don't want to spend one more night hovered over the toilet sick because another friend has been seduced by satan's lies.


God is calling us to open our eyes, our ears and to believe with our hearts....He's got some glory to unveil and we must awaken to the attacks against us so that we don't miss it.



I believe that He who is in us is greater than he who is in the world.


It may not be simple. We may have to get out of our(or should I say satan's) comfort zone. We may have to fight and believe like never before, BUT it is worth it! Blessed are those who hear and obey the Word of God. If anyone tells you otherwise....we better assume it is satan's voice. Because our God says, "Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in rebellion, during the time of testing in the desert, where your fathers tested and tried me and for forty years saw what I did. That is why I was angry with that generation, and I said, "Their hearts are always going astray, and they have not known my ways. So I declared on oath in my anger 'They shall never enter my rest.'" Hebrews 3:7-11. It goes on to say, "But encourage one another daily, as long as it called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness."



Please encourage me in His truth and I will try to do the same for you. I am looking for a blessing. Aren't you?



With much love-


Chelle
