My heart is hurting today as I have watched how the enemy of our soul endeavors to bring division and tear apart relationships. I wish there was some way we could learn outside of experience. We know the theology, and theory of the enemies tactics but it is a very different matter when you watch him do it in your emotions and the emotions and minds of those you love.
There is a cry arising from my heart as we watch this at microcosm level in one relationship and know that it is going on throughout the church of God. Lord show us how to take that which the enemy clearly meant for evil and turn it for good.
Lord Jesus, somewhere your church has to get out of the rut of fear of dealing with the devil and make it through to seeing victory in individual relationships and in local assemblies to the whole Body of Christ. Lord we need to learn how to build up ourselves in the most holy "faith", so that we go from faith to faith.
Going from faith to faith is not an easy task, in fact it gets more difficult as we go along. Because we past the last test, the current test is more difficult. Attitudes are tested.
If we take that those that came to Jesus saying "Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Thy Name and in Thy Name cast out devils" were right, that they had done those things, then He was after more than the works of God. He said that in the doing of those things, there is a knowing of Him that is essential. There is a coming and learning of Him that is imperative to doing the "Works of God", that gets acceptance from God.
Lord, I present myself to you to Learn of You while doing your works. That is, I ask for a revelation of Your Person as those works are done through me.
While working in the Kingdom, let me get to know The King. No matter what I go through, I want to "know Him" and "Learn of Him" while making that journey through.
The question could be asked, "Where is God in all of this?" That is the question we must ask Him until He reveals Himself to us in all that we go through.
Jesus where are you and where is the revelation of your person in what I am experiencing?

I believe He is standing just off to the side. If you look closely in the spirit you will see Him weeping. He is saying, "this is not My doing", every one has a free will and many commit the sin He hates the most, Sowing Discord among the brothers. Because of His tears you will laugh again, Be encouraged my brother!!!
I love you Honey. I wouldn't be where I am today without your standing by me. God promised victory and we are going to see it with our eyes.
