With a strength like no other

Posted by adamlepp in Heaven Bound, Life

I figure I should update since it’s been so long.  These last few weeks have been incredibly amazing!  One thing God has really shown me is how strong He really is.  I mean, I’ve always known in my head that He is strong, but now I’m experiencing it.  All those weeks ago I went into the toughest three battles of my life.  My only armor was the armor of God.  I was going to attempt to do the impossible with no tools or weapons of my own, but the strength of Jesus beside me.

Let me tell you, the guy is strong.  What was originally planned as a week long challenge for myself quickly turned into 2 weeks, which turned into 4 weeks, all they way up until now of win after win.  Of the three battles I mentioned above, this is the one that was the hardest for me and the one I focused on the most these last few weeks.

The other two I’m fairing better than I have before, in fact.  I’ve only sinned a few times total since I made war on them.  Thats far fewer than most DAYS previous.

One other thing, Since I have made war against these struggles, the temptations have never been greater.  It feels like every few minutes, satan is throwing something at me trying to get me to fail.  But Jesus was their beside me every step of the way.  I’ve held on on to Him with all of my strength and cried out to Him on so many occasions recently.  He is there every time.

I encourage you to make war with the sins you are struggling with, to cry out to Jesus and ask for help and strength.  I promise you He will, He’s just waiting for an invitation.
