if you wanna fight, you got it...

"With him [is] an arm of flesh; but with us [is] the LORD our God to help us, and to fight our battles. And the people rested themselves upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah." 2 Chronicles 32: 8

Over the last few days it feels like I have had about 10,000 lbs of pressure on my shoulders. I don't know why, but it seems like everything is coming at me at once! I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that ole' horny head is at it again, trying to ruin something good that is about to happen. You see, I have to think about things on a spiritual level sometimes, and if this much is going wrong, then I know that something great is fixing to come on the back end. Well, if the devil wants a fight, he's got one. But the great thing is...I have an advantage in the fight. It's not me fighting...it's Jesus Christ! And he has already won the battle at Calvary! Therefore the devil is already defeated...he has no choice in the matter!

You know, I think God allows the winepress to squeeze a little tight sometimes to see how we are going to react. Are we as believers, going to allow the Lord to fight our battles for us, or let the flesh rise up and try to take care of the situation by ourselves? The nation of Israel was a perfect example of this. Every time that they went into battle with the Lord on their side they won, but if the Lord wasn't in it, they were miserably defeated! So today if you are struggling with something or just feeling like you don't know how you're going to make it to tomorrow...Remember that the lord fights your battles, AND HE HAS ALREADY WON!!!!!
