Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.

Isaiah 41:10

There is nothing better and more productive than obeying what the Lord tells us. He created all things and knows all that happens in the whole Universe. He does not delay, not even for a split second, to realize what the enemy is up to. If the Almighty is at our disposal to be with us and to be our God, strengthening, helping and supporting us, what more do we need? 

No matter what the devil plans to do against your life, the secret is not to fear at all. God commands us not to let fear overwhelm our hearts otherwise we will open a door for Satan to get in and fulfill his dirty intent. Every time the thought of something bad happening to you goes through your mind, remember that it is a devilish attack. Fear not, for the heavenly Father is with you. Resist and resist always. Even though you do not understand the reason for the attack, resist it.

The enemy always tries to \”paint the picture\” with somber colors. He sends the temptation and if we flee it he starts accusing us of being sinners just because we have been tempted, but it is not a sin to be tempted. If the Lord is your God, why would you fear the devil\’s lies? Be always steadfast in faith and never allow anything to haunt you because you have God as your only and true Lord.

Bear this in mind: He is Almighty, All-knowing and ubiquitous and says He is your God. So, there is not and there will never be a time when the Most High will leave you, so do not go away from Him. The evil one will never give up leading you to perdition with him, but you should never give up going to heaven with Jesus. It is not worth sinning. Everything passes away in this world but he who does the will of God abides forever.

It is you who have to fight the battles of your life, not God. In His Word we see that He promised to give you strength. So if for some reason you have been weak and have not struggled as you should, talk to the Heavenly Father and confess to him everything you think, what is happening and how fragile you are. Without a doubt, in doing so you will see that your struggle is not so burdensome and strong as it seems. 

It does not matter how hard the enemy thrusts himself against your life because whenever you feel unable or unprepared, the Lord will help you (Matthew 11:28-30). Do not even think about giving up or admitting that Satan triumphed over you, for he is a loser. On the other hand, if you are a child of God, your victory was guaranteed on the cross, and the Lord promised to assist you in every way. So if you need divine assurance, ask the Creator and believe that He will give it to you.

The Almighty assures you that He will sustain you with His righteous right hand, therefore you will never be defeated, so be strong in faith.

In Christ with love,
