Deny the Hype!

The things of this world should evoke no emotional response within you! When you know that your seat has been confirmed in heaven, why sweat the temporary foolishness? The things of this world are only able to expand so far because they have an expiration date. But, the things of God are eternal. Set your mind on eternal outcomes and the temporary things will cease to exist or have relevance to you. You will begin to come out of trials and circumstances unscathed and stress free because your spirit saw the end result; so you were already there! You walked through that thing to the completion and missed the trial because you were focused on the prize!

When you have tunnel vision for the things of God and you only see His magnificent end; nothing that the enemy throws at you will even begin to phase you. He’ll throw fear your way, you keep walking! He’ll throw envy your way, you keep walking! He’ll throw offense your way, you keep walking! He’ll throw doubt and worry your way, YOU KEEP WALKING! The enemy knows the end result of what you will accomplish when you remain on the straight and narrow path that God has ordained you to follow. He doesn’t want you to succeed, so he throws every spiritual weapon from his arsenal to try to detour you off track. He understands that if you make it through the trial while staying focused on God this will cement one of the most detrimental things to his kingdom in your mind: a memory!

Oh, when you can just think back to an instance when the Lord brought you through, the reassurance that GOD IS helps you to proceed. Not proceed with caution, but proceed boldly because you know (that you know) God has your front and your back. God never changes! He’s the same God who spared you ten years ago, and He’s the same One whose guiding your steps this day! Stay focused on what it is that God has called you to do! Don’t allow the enemy’s temporary weapon formation frighten you off God’s final destination for your life. No weapon formed against you shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). So, yes it will form; the gun will look like a gun; the possibility of failure will look like failure, the slander of your character will sound like slander, but (My God, My God) it will not prosper! The gun WILL jam and misfire, the possible failure WILL lead to success, the slander of your character WILL lead to promotion!

So let the weapons form, let the enemy take his best shot! Don’t cower and buy into the hype, because the enemy can only SHOW you what he’s working with. But, when you are focused on the ending destination, and receive God’s stamp of approval, Satan MUST pack up his weapons and wait for God to give him permission to try you again. A thousand may fall at thy right side and ten thousand at the right had but NONE shall come near thee (Psalm 91:7)!

Join the eternally victorious team people, it’s so much better on this side.

Love you!
