Praise the Lord that we have victory in Him.  One of the greatest lessons I learned this week was not a lesson that I thought I needed to learn.  I always believed in Satan and knew that he was a force that did have power and was something to be aware of.  However, I did not recognize his ability to hinder us until this week.  One of the main ways that Satan attacks me is through feeding me lies which are easy to recognize because well, they are LIES!  They are easy to identify but sometimes they really stick to your mind or you just try to cover them up and not turn them over the Lord.  I know where I stand which is a firm stand upon the TRUTHS of Christ that he HAS MADE ME HOLY and Satan can not take nor destroy any of these things.  I will not give him an avenue to tell me that I do not belong here or that I am not equipped to serve His Kingdom.  I am so grateful that the Lord has taught me this lesson and revealed these lies to me… none of this is an easy thing for me to understand but what power we are given from THE KING and this is something that can never be taken away from us.

 "Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always.  Remember the wonders he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he pronounced, O descendants of Israelhis servant, O sons of Jacob, his chosen ones.  He is the Lord our God; his judgments are in all the earth.  He remembers his covenant forever, the word he commanded, for a thousand generations."
