This is an incredibly hard post to write for I know ridicule and disbelief will follow it but that does not make it less true. Some of the language is a bit more formal since when writing I tend to not use slang or emotion, plus I am recreating a conversation from an hour ago so that makes it a bit fuzzy.
Let me tell you of a conversation that took place this morning in the shower. I wasn't going to post it but I had to because it wasn't going away.
Now for context my wife and I are in the midst of a very big purchase I have been vacillating on. Should we/shouldn't we.
So it started something along these lines:
"I can't do this, we have too many problems to over come.
We can't do this it's too big for us.
Wait a minute that's not my job.
I have this guy and that guy working for me.
Their job is to see if it is doable.
I did my job which was to put them to work to see if it is doable. (yes the next shift in subject did happen)
Just like my job is to put the gospel out which I do via the 4 or 5 different internet pages and sites I use to put it out.
My job is to put it out, God's job is to work it.
He gives me the Word and I put the Word He gives into writing, the rest is up to Him.
But do you know Him?"
Now thoughts start entering my head, I am going to attribute to satan and his demons mainly because that's the only option for the source of these thoughts I can think of.
" me - satan get out of my head, in the name of Christ go away.
I can not have you go away in my power because I only have the power I borrowed from Him. Get out of my head I am His and He is not the father of lies you are"
S - are you sure He knows you?
Me - yes He knows me at 7 or 8 yrs of age I gave my life to Him. I was there, He was there, were you there? He knows me and if you are not certain go open the Lamb's book of life and you will see my name there."
At that point there was no more conversation, I guess that finally did it for that moment. That attack.
Now you are going to ask me "are you nuts? you talked to satan and God in the same conversation? what a nut job".
I am inclined to agree with you. I must be nuts for me to even think that there is a chance that satan might attack me for I am nothing. I am not moving this world for Christ, I am not doing anything he would consider worthy of stopping.
But that is basically what transpired.
Now if he can attack me like that then he can go after anyone. Make sure you have the power of the name of Jesus to call upon to resist these attacks and those temptations.
In the end if God has it laid out for us to make this purchase then we will. If He does not want us to go in that direction then we won't.
My job is to follow what I believe is His leading, His job is to provide and make it happen if I believe and step out in faith.
His job is to guide, lead, and protect. My job is faith nothing wavering for He is my God and I am His Child.
The power the child of God has is truly enormous if we but rest on Him, Call on Him, allow Him to work in us.
For He is God the Father of all.
