When Hell Comes Your Way

“When Hell Comes Your Way”

“For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it?” (Luke 14:28).

This is a warning to all who would seek God with all of their heart, soul, mind, and strength! To the ones who are willing to forsake the ways of the world to follow the true ways of the Lord! To the ones who will set their hearts to prayer and fasting. To the ones who will stand on the whole counsel of the word of God and expose the lies of the enemy through the word of the living God. To the ones who are willing to be obedient even to the point of losing everything. Plainly put, when you seek the Lord with everything that is within you, you are going to face evil attacks like you’ve never faced in your entire life! Not only that, the enemy will come against everything that is dear to you; your family, loved ones, health, etc.

The warning is not to scare you but to prepare you and to prompt you to action! No matter how intense the battle against your faith, stand strong on the promises of God!

What about you? Is your "Wanted Sign" posted in Hell? Are you a threat to the devil and his kingdom? Does he worry about you? Or does he show no concern for you?

If you never experience any attacks on your faith I would be very concerned. Now, there are times and seasons of rest we will all go through and praise God for them and I’m not talking about those times. I’m talking about if you are lukewarm, startling the fence, or just not any threat to the kingdom of darkness! Easy? Yes! Good? No!

I want to encourage you today, wherever you are, there are numerous saints of God that are going through demonic attacks all across the world! Yes, you are not the only one! There are many believers who are facing the trials of their lives right this very moment!
No matter how tough it gets, don’t back down from the evil one! You may say, “I’m not going to seek God like this anymore, I can’t take these attacks!” That is just what the devil wants you to do, back off! He hates you, is jealous of you, and you are embarking on some of his territory! Don’t let him invade your life with fear and anxiety!

Men of God, stand in the gap for your family! Fight the enemy off of your spouse and children! May they see your courage and determination and follow you into the battle!

So what area or area’s of your life are being attacked at this VERY moment! Your faith? Your mind? Your health? Your finances? Your marriage? Your children?

Go find promises in the word of God, believe them, and then stand upon them!

Here are some scriptures I pray encourage you:

1) "Once I was young, and now I'm old, and I've never seen the righteous forsaken nor his seed to beg bread." David
2) Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.” (Psalm 20:7)
3) The Lord is my light and my salvation whom shall I fear? Psalm 27:1
4) Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. James 4:7-8
5) God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Psalm 46:1
