spirtal warfare
I hear some people say " i'm fighting a spirtal battle". What is a spirtal battle? To me it was before i was a christion, a battle inside moral vs. inmoral. But now it seems since i found the lord that discription has changed into somthing totaly different.
My mother in law Bernice I think explained it to me best : " The devil had is claws in you Travis so long, he's goin' do everything in his power, be it lie, tempt, or even cheat to get you back."
Really that is what seems to be happening in my house ( physaical & spirttal ) but it isn't to me a battle , its a all out war, a war of atristion, like the men the fought at Passiondale, its trench warfare. Every time I think I got that sucker beat, BAM he's back either knocking on my front door, back door, calling the house ( old booze buddies ) or bugging my wife & kids. The devil is always there just as the lord is, and it seems to me if i take my eyes off of Jesus for 1 second the devil is there trying to claw his way back into my life. What the devil takes so much pleasure in is seeing my wife and I fight and scrap, he wants to destroy anything that is good between us and make us misrable, lately the suckers been droping tonnes of bait all around me, seems like every peice a paper I pick up or everytime I go on this computer, there is somthing that undermines our marrige, and it hurts but its the past, and I know Elana loves me but why is this here saying the oppisite? Well really the answer is quit clear if I take a step outside the box; the devil knows my weakness's and he is going to play them to the max to wreak what ever he can. The most importent thing is to remember that, even though its real hard some times. I'm not going to let that sucker win, even if it ultamitly kills me.
Does everyone know about when jesus walks on water matthew chp 14 22-32 ( mark 6;45-52;john 6; 16-21) (niv) ? Well if you do or you don't, its somthing you all should read. i really don't get my ultamite inspiration from the miricle of jesus waking on water, he's god he can do anything, but i get my ultamite inspirtion from Peter when he goes out there, he's a human just like myself but as long as he keeps his eye on jesus he can walk on water too. It also inspirse me in my spirtal " war " Im fighting, and rings so true; aslong as i keep my eyes toward jesus nothings impossible, and stuff is great at home, but the second I even "wink" I start sinking into the hot water of hell.
