Working together helping each other out big or small is what our relationship with God is all about.
I recently found myself super frustrated with many tasks that I am trying to accomplish online and all of them have come to a screeching halt because of one small detail that I am stuck on and I need community or someone to help me.
Many of these had to do with my book. It is super frustrating.
However, there was someone who stood up and said "What do you need I can help" and it was a simple fix, and they knew exactly where to go for help.
I am waiting patiently and that person to came along.... well ok maybe patiently is stretching it a little.
In the times like this, it is easy for manipulation and control it eats at you and corrodes your self-esteem. At times like these, we need to follow the scriptures that say to
"We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." 2 Corinthians 10:5
"We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ," 2 Corinthians 10:5
We have the authority to decide what our minds are going to think on. Just as we have the right and authority to say "no" to the influence of the Jezebel spirit. When that spirit comes to you wanting you to try to talk that friend into coming with your to the county fair and you are tempted to -manipulate them into going even though they don't want to- you can take those thoughts captive. Scripture also says that these thoughts have to listen to you when you tell them to go away.
"So place yourselves under God's authority. Resist the devil, and he will run away from you."
James 4:7
I love this all of the enemy's army and satan himself is under your feet if you are under the authority of God.
I give all the Glory to the Lord of Lords Almighty God.
