Strength in numbers
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen – Matthew 28:20
satan is counting on us to NOT know the word of God, so that he can convince us that we do not matter—that we have messed up too badly, too many times etc. But if we confess our sins He is faithful to forgive and remember them no more. For those who desire mates, he tortures and makes them think that they are unworthy of being loved and will always be alone. He then separates us from everyone so that he can break us down completely, and throw us into the pit of depression.
If we allow pride to keep us from seeking help, we are giving him permission to steam roll over us! God promised to perfect those things concerning us, but we have to do our part too. We must seek to have a personal relationship with Him. We learn who He is through His word, and we get closer to Him through prayer.
No matter who you are, or what you are facing, if you are a born again believer in Christ, you are never alone. We have the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit and all the heavenly hosts with us.
Psalms 4:3 says the Lord hath set apart him that is godly for himself and that he will hear when we call Him. How awesome is that? Even more awesome is the fact that when Jesus was on the cross, He said “It is finished!” Healing is ours; we can be whole—spiritually, physically and mentally. We don’t have to suffer, and watch life pass us by, we are loved dearly. It is finished! You have the victory through Jesus Christ, and you are not alone.
God bless,
Pamyla

John 10:28--And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand
Note: the illustrated image is of a man standing with clouds of confusion all around him. He is isolated as a result of allowing satan to drag him into the pit of despair.
