Distractions A Lesson I learned

Last night, all through the night I had very intense disturbing dreams. So much so that when I woke this morning all my emotions and mind were wrapped up with the dream thinking it was real, almost to the point that I could not really concentrate to pray.

But then as fresh as the dream was in my mind the Holy Spirit reminded me that the dream and the things in the dream were only a distraction from the enemy to keep me from prayer, worship and praise.

It was meant to distract me from the blessings and joy that God had for me THIS DAY, as was all the other things going on in my life that tried to get my attention and focus away from God.

He reminded me to resist the devil - apply the word of God to my mind- remembering that whatever comes my way I'm covered with the Blood of Yahshua (1 John 5:4) so I would overcome and don't have to worry about all that comes to trouble me.

And so I did, rather He did, I recovered quickly and I was restored to a place of worship and praise where I could pray and praise God. (Especially for this)

Saints, this is a crucial time for the body of Machiach. There are many distractions such as family life, jobs, money, relationships, entertainment, fears,ridiculous thoughts and the list goes on and on, even some seemingly “good” things can distract us from the true focus of the Gospel -Yahshua.

My Prayer is that  Heavenly Father would strengthen us to resist these distracting tactics and that the enemy would flee from us as we submit to God.

That God would allow nothing to take our focus from Yahshua Ha Mashiach, nothing to keep us from our worship and praise of Him. But that the Holy spirit would remind us of the word and apply it (just as Yahshuah did -     Matt 4:1-11) and that he would bless us to overcome.  With grace, faith and patients in Yahshua Name.

Stay focussed, remember the blood and worship God is what I have learned.

May Yah bless us to keep focused and keep our minds stayed on Him!

Isa 26:3                             

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.

Revelation 3:21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne

.

This was a very quick but intense lesson for me. I hope that it would bless you as well.

Love, Grace and Peace
