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.

I am glad for you if you are doing well in your walk!

But you made a statement that was, as I have shown, unbiblical - namely:

“Besides satan is powerless, he’s been defeated and under my feet.”

It is clear from Scripture that satan is NOT powerless - and for you to be convinced that he is gives him a great advantage over you. Keep your eyes open. You may be doing quite well thinking you have the devil on the run but he can cause you to stumble if you become proud or complacent.

Keep your eyes on the Lord, friend, and have a good day!
