Be Diligent

The Lord is saying:  My loves, My children, I Am here and I Am with you.  I want you to remember that the enemy is crafty and cunning and will find ways into your lives to disrupt your peace and joy.  He comes but to steal, kill, and destroy and he is very active in this time.  He wants nothing more than to cause you to fall into sin and forget your worth to Me.  Yes, he hates you, but only because I love you.  It is Me that he hates, so if he can attack My children, then he thinks that he can win these battles for souls.  But he underestimates the will of My children.  When you are in Me and I in you, then the enemy is shut out.  But when you neglect your time with Me, then the enemy can come in unaware and cause havoc in our relationship and then pull you away from Me even at the slightest point.  Remember these things as you go about your day and keep Me at the forefront of your minds at all times – pray without ceasing – that the enemy have no stronghold in your hearts.  I Am here, so all you must do is cry out to Me and I Am there to help you fight off these attacks.  But this requires you to be diligent in watching all pathways the enemy finds into your heart and cover those areas with the Blood of My Son, Jesus.  The Blood terrifies the enemy, so use it today.

 

Mark 14:32-42 (ESV) And they went to a place called Gethsemane. And he said to his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.” 33  And he took with him Peter and James and John, and began to be greatly distressed and troubled. 34  And he said to them, “My soul is very sorrowful, even to death. Remain here and watch.” 35  And going a little farther, he fell on the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him. 36  And he said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible for you. Remove this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.” 37  And he came and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, “Simon, are you asleep? Could you not watch one hour? 38  Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” 39  And again he went away and prayed, saying the same words. 40  And again he came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy, and they did not know what to answer him. 41  And he came the third time and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and taking your rest? It is enough; the hour has come. The Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 42  Rise, let us be going; see, my betrayer is at hand.”
