Here's some encouragement for you today: God is in control, He is on your side, and He perfects all things concerning you. So instead of trying to micro-manage all of your shortcomings, focus on Who God is, and what His power within you can do in and through you! Keep His Word alive in your heart and those habits that held you back in the past will simply fall away, as He does a good, new work inside you. Draw near to Him today and let His Spirit infuse you with His mighty inner strength to make you self-sufficient in His sufficiency.

Let's not forget the devil; (a.k.a) Satan! We face this shamed entity every day, thus, we should be encouraged to let him have it based on the cross!! Yes, I encourage us to openly let him have it!!
Hate the devil - this is God's will. Our Lord Jesus, "having despoiled the principalities and the powers, . . . made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it [the cross]" (Col. 2.15). Whenever we see the devil’s power on a rampage we should stand on the ground of the cross, asking the Lord to put the devil to shame once more. The devil has already suffered shame on the cross; so, based on his first humiliation, we can ask the Lord to put him to shame again. When the devil is shamed, he dare not raise his head. How then can he molest us again? Hence let us pray: "O Lord, we now stand on the foundation of the cross, asking You to again put the devil to shame."
We need to pray always concerning God's will, concerning ourself in way of God's will, and other's in relationship to ourselves based on His will, and also Satan in connection to the will of God concerning him in relationship to us. Many times we forget to stand, not just survive. There should be NO fear of him at all. So, stand and let God's glory be seen in your victory based on His victory on the Cross. To me, this is so refreshing...we are free indeed in Christ! Don't go looking for a fight, but when Satan does his thing, give him Hell in Jesus' name.

“God never gives us discernment in order that we may criticize, but that we may intercede. As we make intentional efforts to not try but to abide in relationship to the Father thru Christ Jesus, I am seeing myself, and others around me who are yielding their personalities to the Holy Spirit, and I have noted how we ask God what specifically shall we do in relationship to His will. I have felt it, thus it is also my testimony! - His hand on me, the Holy Spirit connecting me to the Father. But this is not unique, it is our Supernatural Normalcy in living a Spiritual life-style and it is for all of us to abide closely in Him; and for Him to do amazing things thru us in His name..Now, this is categorically a miracle indeed. To that I applaud and say AMEN! May DEEP PEACE and DEEP CONFIDENT GUIDANCE emanate from within - out thru all of us here for His name sake and glory!."
Romans 15:13 13May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
