I don't always have enough room in my Instagram posts to write all I want sooo over here I'll be writing
longer articles (but let's be real they won't all be long).
longer articles (but let's be real they won't all be long).
Lately I've been feeling like I don't know who is talking to me. God or Satan. I soon realized Satan was starting to get a hold of me. I've been told this many times before "you know you're following God when Satan tries to invade". If I didn't have Jesus in my life Satan would have won, he wouldn't care about testing me, trying to control me, etc. because he already won. This isn't the case for me. Especially this last summer I've gotten closer to God than ever before. I'm in the Word more, my family found a great church with a pretty amazing youth group, I've been praying, listening to Christian music over other types. This makes me even more appealing to the enemy. He wants to do whatever he can to get me away from God. I've been having such a spiritual battle and I now know why. It's not because of what I've been doing wrong, it's what I've been doing right. Satan is testing me and doing whatever he can to make me get away from God. Only recently have I figured this out. For a while I thought it was because I was the one causing the problems, something like this had never happened to me this intensely before. Satan was getting to me. He was starting to control me, get what he wanted. I went through I little period in my life where I was just not in to mood to read the Bible, pray, etc. even my attitude was changing greatly "what have I become." I started to think. This was not the godly person God wants me to be. So I turned my life around. I got back into my daily bible readings, etc. Satan can't control me. He can tempt me all he wants but he can never make me do anything, I am in control of the choices I make.
I've been loving the song "That Was Then, This Is Now" by Josh Wilson it talks about God making us new and how our past is just that, the past. We are made new in Christ. I really encourage you to give it a listen, it's been a great reminder to me everyday.
