I was reminded of C.S. Lewis’ “Screwtape letters”…
Satan’s harsh but cruel narrative. But Satan himself cannot deny God’s (whom he Satan calls the Enemy) eternal love for his people:

Satan says: “For we must never forget what is the most repellent and inexplicable trait in our Enemy (God). He really loves the hairless bipeds he has created and always gives back to them with His right hand what He has taken away with His life… Even of his sins, the Enemy does not want him to think too much: once they are repented, the sooner the man runs his attention outward, the better the Enemy is pleased.’

What a blessing it is to reminded who the true Enemy is…and to know the truth: that one of God’s most, if not the most, attractive trait is the love He showed through his Son, Jesus Christ.

Angie, my precious adopted daughter,

You preach this well with your life. He has equipped you to speak forth His word. You are such a blessing to your Mom. For a Mother to know that their child is in the hands of God, she can lay down in a sweet peace, because she knows that the God of the universe, who has called her to be a Mother, is sustaining her in her devotion to this calling.

What a blessing it was to visit with you yesterday. I will be there to see you again, soon.

May He glorify His name in all the earth.

Love and blessings,
Judie

Angie,
What a beautiful post! Keep fighting that ‘mean ‘ol Satain’ because if anyone can win – it’s you! Your Faith and strength are an inspiration.

Yes, Angie, you have seen the enemy for what he is…and he wants us to fear everything but God. I just learned today in Bible study that an acrostic for fear is “false evidence appearing real.” The enemy indeed doesn’t play fair and has no rules of engagement. Another point in the lesson was, “Those God uses greatly seem to greatly battle fear. Therefore, we may battle fear but we must not let it win.” God is greatly using you in our lives as you do battle as God’s warrior. Bottom line is, you make me want to praise our God with you and for you. “Then my enemies will turn back in the day when I call. This I know, that God is for me.” (Ps. 56:9) I love you!

Wow! Those are just the words that I needed this morning. (Well, actually I needed them yesterday afternoon, but I’ll take them this morning). I am already tired of the fight and I’ve only just begun. I feel hopeless and frustrated that the fight will never be over, that the battle(s) against Satan and the voices of evil is a daily thing. May I, like you, continue to fight, preach truth to myself, and beg daily for a mind transformation. Thank you for pointing me to Christ and His provision of armor for me. I love you.

Dear Angie…

One reading of this post is just not enough. I have lingered over your words. Surely you have ‘preached the gospel’ to my heart as well. Thank you…

You echo my heart in so many ways. And even though my steps may falter as well, may I reach across this expanse of cyber… and be one of those who lifts the armor, places it in your hand and gently forms your fingers around the weapon. May we stand shoulder to shoulder against our enemy… emboldened with the knowledge that our God – our Shield – will prevail.

Praying for you this day…
Marsha

Ang, when I finished reading your post I said to myself, “That sounded like a psalm.” What great truth, sister.
Holding you up in prayer.

Angie,
WOW! What truths, what glorious truths! You (or should I say Beth) are so right, Satan is a mean old thang. He has no power over us. May God give all of us the grace to look to Jesus and Satan will flee from us. What a wonderful promise from God.

I love the way you can write and I love you!
Mom
