There is a life the devil can't touch and that is the life of Jesus Christ in us. The enemy will come to us and attack us in our confidence and communion with God. He will do whatever it takes to plant the lie in our mind that if God really loved us we wouldn’t be going through the trials and situations that we as Christians find ourselves in. But God will come into our situation when the devil has gone too far. God will stand between the devil and us and say this far and no farther. He will always raise up a standard for His People

When we are in spiritual, mental and physical pain and you have never endured more than your going through now, God will come with the comfort of the Holy Spirit and lead you to His word and His promises and He will reveal Himself through His word. The Devil will tell you God has passed you by – But you will hear a voice behind you say I will never leave you or forsake you.

One of the ways God witnesses to the lost is through the change He makes in our lives. The very testimony of Christ in us will be a voice crying out to them. We as children of God are to take the promises of God and begin to speak what God is speaking to us about this lost generation. We are to allow the word of God’s promises to become a higher reality than every situation and pour the water of life on the dry land and this life flowing force will lead the lost to the Blood of Jesus and the finished work of Calvary.

When we allow ourselves to sit under a ministry of men that draw the people to themselves as opposed to pointing them to Jesus Christ we will bear fruit that desires to please man and not God. God is calling us out of a man-focused ministry and reminding us one more time it's all about Jesus. We must focus all our attention on beholding His face. Only in Christ is the veil lifted so that the heart can embrace God and not man.

We can be so entrenched with idolatry and God will interrupt us with a divine disturbance. The difficult situations we find ourselves in are orchestrated by God to expose areas in our heart and disturb any dark area with His light. He will show us a life so full of His glory and light to bring us out into His freedom.

Christmas is a season of the heart, and whenever the heart is involved there are many emotions. During the Christmas season we can find ourselves in such un-god- like situations with circumstances out of our control, but God will send us a word and bring our attention back to a babe in a manger wrapped in swaddling clothes to remind us one more time that He is Emanuel – God with us. God will break the cycles of despair and depression and take the worldly mindset out of this season and we will remember that a King is born and he will save us from all these un-god-like experiences.

We have got to believe more than ever that Jesus is at work in our lives doing miracles. If we only see Jesus as a healer or only acknowledge Him for His power and might – we will fear Him but we won’t necessarily understand His heart of compassion. We are good at giving people encouraging words, but what happens when it comes to ourselves? Do we have a heart that is hardened with doubt and unbelief?

There is no deeper and darker blindness than religious blindness. The theology of Babylon has no effect on its society but to dull and deaden the people. This theology of self-seeking animates false prophets who are covetous and have a heart that seeks prestige and power. This theology diminishes the poor and leads them into oppression and darkness. We escape the Babylon theology by considering the poor and needy and reaching out to them with the compassionate heart of Christ.
