Breakthrough! (:

A Struggle within,
A cry of help,
Silence...
Then comes the breakthrough! (:

Thank You, Lord!

I wansn't too sure what was going on, but these 3 readings sure has cleared the clouds away.

If it was an attack from the evil one then,
1. Ephesians 6:10-18

10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places].
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

These verses, though they seem lengthy, are sure worth meditating on. They have thought me much on Spiritual Warefare:
1. This battle is fought in the spiritual realm, not physical realm, therefore I have to Put On the armour of God. Notice that Putting on, is an act of the will, a choice. There are many action words in these 9 vereses; "put on", "take unto you" & "taking".
2. The Position in which I must take on in battle is that of standing. Being on the alert, being aware that everyday, I am on battle ground, not a playground!
3. Besides putting on the armour of God, I have to communicate with my Commander in this battle through - Prayer; Praying Always. I am to be constantly talking to my Commander, finding out the situation of the battlefield.

Also, really encouraging is this - that the Shield of Faith is able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. All means all! There is not one dart that this Shield is not able to quench! My responsibility, holding up this Shield of Faith. (:

If it was a trial from God then,
2. Proverbs 3:11-12

11 My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:
12 For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son [in whom] he delighteth.

Oh let me not dispise the chastening of the Lord, for He does it out of love, to change me to be more like Him.

If it was guilt then.
3. A portion from the book "The Man God uses" by Oswald J. Smith

Fact, Faith, Feeling.

Now don't let Satan cheat you out of the blessing by making you wait for some supernatural manifestation or feeling. You will know the joy and comfort of the Holy Spirit as you go out believing, testifying, acting on your faith. God's order for Santification is the same as for Salvation. First, "fact"; second, "faith"; third, "feeling". Now Satan always reverses the Divine order, and tells you to look for feeling. But how can you feel before you believe and how can you believe until you know something to believe?
Here are some facts: "If we confess out sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9). The condition is that you confess. Have you met the condition? Then, why make God a liar? "If we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ, His Son, cleanseth us from all sin." "But," you say, "I don't feel cleansed." No, and you never will until you first of all believe God's Word and act on your faith.

Enough said.
Be it 1, 2 or 3;
Time to take action, friends! (:
