First off, let me clarify the situation a bit. You slipped into the conversation between me and someone else around post 45. I did not realize that you were not the person I began speaking with. That may be the source of some confusion here.

"Sure, that's his job! Resist satan, he will flee. The Name of Jesus is all powerful! EVERYTHING bows at the Name of Jesus. "

I believe the whole record of the Bible. The whole record clearly states that the devil CAN and WILL get you if you give him the chance. You are STILL in danger of being robbed and ensnared and taken advantage of by the devil. The devil may not be able to touch your soul, but by heaven he can sure rob you of God's blessing and God's will for you're life - if you fail to remain vigilant!

2 Corinthians 2:11
Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.

Ephesians 6:11
Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

1 Timothy 3:7
Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

"Why don't you believe "It is finished" - you sound so frightened, why?""

Your attitude sounds pollyannaish. What you call "frightened" I call being "sober and vigilant".

It's a command, you know.

Your reply is unwarranted. What gave you the idea that I am not viligant but pollyannish?

You have NO IDEA what I am going through in my life right now. You have NO IDEA how I am defeating satan daily - almost moment by moment by wearing the armour and walking in HIS power and authority to resist satan in EVERY area of my life. Believing scripture is one thing - living that belief out it is another.

If you did know, you would truly hang you head. I'm not being flippant, I'm being truthful.

So if I don't appear 'sober' to you it's because I'm walking in the JOY of The Lord through the worst time of my life. The JOY of The Lord is my strength. I'm walking in faith, supernatural faith, and not by sight. If I walked by sight, right now, I'd never make it. I'm praising Him continuously.

I'm not posting scripture, I'm living them. So what appears pollyannish to you is really the Joy of the Lord. Sorry you did recognize it and chose ridicule because of your lack of awareness.

Thanks for the concern about me missing my blessings. He has blessed me more in these months - while I walk through my valley - because I'm NOT walking in fear of being robbed or ensnared. I'm walking in obedience to His Word - He told us how to defeat satan and I take Him at His Word. And His Word works. My walk with The Lord is very close - and He has shown me countless time His Word is true - for He never leaves nor forsakes me. That's the biggest blessings.

Perhaps, today, you just might want to bless someone instead of reprimanding them, as you did me. If you want to be more like Jesus - that would be a good start.
