Spending time at the retreat was awesome! But if you're like me, chances are, reality has started to creep in and our enemy may have already attempted to try and steal your joy. Well if that's the case remember, you have been anointed and sealed with our Father's Spirit. (2 Cor 1:21-22) His Spirit, which He deposited in each of us as believers is what marks us as one of the King's kids. You can bet when you belong to the King of Kings, He is the one who protects us.
While the enemy may come to try and rob, kill and destroy all he can really do is mess with us and he can only do that if we engage in conversation with him. He really can't hurt us, because no-one can take us out of our Daddy's hand...not even ourselves. (John 10)
So here's my new policy: I will choose to no longer engage in conversations with the father of lies, without bringing my Father to the conversation. "You want to talk to me Satan? You have to go through my Daddy first!" My experience so far with this approach, is that he turns and slinks off like the coward that he truly is.
Are you wrestling with our enemy? Remember, you are anointed and sealed...he can't touch you!

Last weekend was one of the most emotional and uplifting times of my life. I finally found God and opened my wounded heart to Him with trusting arms. The joy has been unbelievable....then this week hit me smack between the eyes. Oh, reality. But the difference this week has been that I do not have to carry the load myself. My Father God is beside me, holding me and loving me. Even in my weak moments when I forget to love my students.

I really needed to hear this today, Lisa. Thank you for posting. I left the retreat feeling frustrated. I've consistently allowed the enemy to rob me of my joy. I sit passively and allow this to happen playing the "poor me" card. It's a constant struggle within my own heart to not allow satan to have a foothold. Today I choose hope. I found out that April 8th I will be going to court to fight for my children. And a vigorous fight it will be. The best part of this fight is that I will not walk into the court room alone. For I know that I am sealed and that my Daddy is and will be there giving me strength and guidance. Please pray for my sweet baby girls. Pray that our loving, beautiful relationship will be restored to some symbolance of normalcy. Thank you God for the blessing of the retreat this weekend.
