Hello all my faithful readers. lol. That's about none. But who knows who will pass this way in the analogues of time.

anyway I want to tell you about something I have been learning from a wonderful Lady! Known as white_raven. She is a wonderful Christian woman, who has been trying to help me with a problem with one of my kids. But in the process of this I have learned a great deal. One is about weakness, and that our only weakness is our selves. When we try to go things alone. With God we have no weakness. If you think about it, first we are scared, cause the bible tells us that we fight not against flesh and bone but against powers and principalities in dark places. I first read that verse and I was like wow that's a bit scary to think of. But it seemed to fanciful for me to take great note of. Then my son and I got hit full on with the true reality of it. But this isn't about that. serfice to say I wasn't prepared and shamefully to say I had no clue as to were in scripture to find my aid. I knew only that God had said we have the authority over evil. That simple knowledge kept me safe in one situation. But a new one arose that I need more then just that.

we are not weak! Not with God on our side. Look at Goliath, a monster of a man slain by the youth David. We all have Goliaths in our lives. Jesus told us faith the size of a mustard seed(a very tiny seed indeed) could move mountains. Like the Goliaths in our lives, some times they are mountains. mountains of emotional despair. Mountains of relationship problems. Mountains that over whelm and push us down till we feel crushed by the weight. But one mustard seed of faith can move those mountains. How is that? Cause God guides us, shows us the way past, around or through these mountains and some time shows us how to lift it up and toss it out of our way. But he doesn't just stop there, he gives us the tools to accomplish this and last but far from least he gives us His strength so we can do whatever is needed. A friend of my has a blog "am I strong enough?" most definitely you are! With God we are. Lets look at what he says about our strength in Him. First he tills us in phil. "to be worried for nothing , but in all things by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding shall keep your hearts and mind through Christ Jesus." phil 4:6.7 so God say give it all to me and I will give you peace over the things you give to me. And I think in a small way I understand why that peace surpasses all understanding.... Because, when we give our mountains over to God with a small bit of faith, we don't know the out come. We don't know how God is going to work things out for us. Yet we know He will, and our small mustard seed of faith tells us that. And so peace is ours. To the common eye, or non-believing eye. It makes no sense that we should feel peace about these things and not be in misery.

well so far if we bring our problems(mountains) to God, and have a mustard seed of faith we can move mountains, AND we will have peace over it all. Well I say that's a great start. But He doesn't stop there. He wants us to have confidence. And he tell us that we can do ANYTHING through Christ Jesus who strengthens me/us. Parents, this is a great tool for the kids that likes to say "I can't" a lot. My son has almost stopped saying "I can't" cause I make him resite that very verse. lol. ok so we have our mountains, and we also have the powers and princepalities in dark places. we spoke briefly at the start of this about the authority God gives us over such things. here He says quite clearly we have authority..... luke 10:19, mind you this is Jesus speaking "behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpoins , and over ALL the power of the enemy, and nothing shall injure you" there is your authority. i'd say that pretty well cover the things that go bump in the night, unless of course it's your pipes, the He give authority to the plumber you call. I may joke, but there are other things that go bump in the night and you have all authority over it. psalms 27:1 says "the Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? the Lord is the defence of my life, "whom shall I dread?" and isaiah 54:17 " no weapon that is formed against you shall prosper; and every tongue that accuses you in judgement you will condemn. this is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and their vindication is me, declares the Lord!" theres a kicker. evil can not form a weapon against you, nor accuse you. and i'm not talking evil ie calamity. I is talking EVIL. ok what evil are we talking about well john talks about it in john 10:10, "the theif comes only to steal and kill and destroy;(Jesus speaking) I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly." we mean the thief, serpant, satan and all his demons. the ones we have the authority over. finally psalms 34:4 "I sought the Lord and He answered me and delivered me from all of my fears." if you read on in that chapter this is a lot of wonderful verses about the Lord answering prayer.

the Lord has given us the faith by which mountains can be moved(the mountain in our own life), the ability through him(cause He strengthens us), and the authority over evil, to slay Goliaths(be it things that go bump in the night or just the feeling of being under attach from forces un seen), and he gives us the words of encouragement and confedence(we should worry for nothing, and whom sheould we fear? we are answered and delivered from our fears)

lastly. all things work together for good for those who believe. just a mustard seed of faith...
