18 Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. 19 Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. 20 Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

Answer

Well guys,

It has been quite some time since I've written on here. And there needs to be an explanation for this. In my last message I questioned what you should do during an earthquake, a storm. At that point I didn't really have an answer. I was going through a time in my life where I didn't know how to respond. To stay strong in the faith. Satan was shaking up my world. I considered it a dry season. I'm not sure if I would use that description though at this point. I went through a time where I lost all the trust I had in almost all my spiritual mentors and just mentors in general who I had unknowingly built my foundation upon, instead of God's Word as my foundation. My security, my armor was in the truths that I learned from them. This is soooo not a good foundation. Even if it was Mother Teressa, it is not good to place your foundation on any human, or anything other than the Bible, and Christ Jesus. He is the only one Satan hasn't been able to touch and contaminate in some way. In other words everything aside from God's Word has the ability to make mistakes. Including my mentors. Satan is always just waiting to attack our weak points and He's constantly studying those weak point and how to stretch them. I was a victim of his deception. First of all when I put other people above God and secondly, when I fell for his lies after I saw my sandy foundation crumbling beneath the waves of struggle. Thankfully, God knows us better than Satan. He knows our weak points and our strong points and He's constantly watching over us and ready to fight for us. Satan once again captured me and kept me in a "soundproof" box and thus, I couldn't hear God. There are flaws with that statement though. There is no place on earth, or anywhere that is soundproof from the mighty voice of God, and... I could hear God. I just couldn't recognize His voice though with all the demons that I let in nonchalantly. Once I realized that...that it was once again coming down to my choices, I started pulling through. God rescued me once again from my captors. Ever since then, well, I have been learning how to fight them off:). And my next post will contain messages from God to myself with some solutions on fighting those battles. To end this post though, I am so excited to tell you that..truly...whatever storm/earthquake we go through, God is holding our world, holding us in His hand. And His voice is louder than any kind of problem we have. We have to tune out the storm, the earthquake with the gentle, but powerful voice of love, His voice. Key to this? Faith. Faith that His love is greater, more powerful, more reliable, and definitely more capable of success than any problem we have ever seen.

God bless:)
