Well I Never...

Have you ever just had one of those weeks?

For the last 3 to 4 weeks I have felt an incredible peace surrounding my life. Almost as never before I have sensed the nearness of God. The warmth of His embrace. The fire of His passion for humanity. And then...

Out of nowhere. Unexpectedly. Without any warning, stuff just simply started going wrong. Small things, but going wrong nonetheless. Then, small turned big and I found myself completely distracted--almost in awe. Wrestling with the same old Charlie Brown feelings of "why me, why here, why now?"

I found myself on more than one occasion saying, "Well, I never..."

I never thought that would have happened. I never thought they would do or even say that. Well, I never...

I suppose the Hebrew children felt that way when they arrived at their so called "Promised Land" and found giants eating their grapes. Can't you just hear the Hebrew people, upon seeing the men who stood like mountains living their dream, begin to whisper to one another behind the bushes, "Well, I never..."

How often have we anticipated that on the verge of the miraculous God would just fix everything for us? Its a natural thought process. We tend to always fall prey to the ridiculous notion that simply because our Heavenly Father said we could have something there will not be any resistance when we attempt to possess it. May I insert a question? Where else did you expect the giant to be? Doesn't it make sense that the enemy would camp out right in the middle of your destiny?

The fact that you are experiencing difficulty gives testimony to the reality that God has announced you can have it. Now the enemy is just bluffing! He's putting up a good front. But in the realm of the supernatural Jesus has already wrought the victory on your behalf. Its your time and hell knows it. Thus satan has sent his biggest and baddest minions to bluff you. His idea is that you will be so intimidated that your knees will buckle. (By the way, it worked against the Israelites in the midst of their Exodus!)

We wrestle a defeated foe! By the blood of Calvary, the anointing of the Holy Spirit and the name of Jesus we have already won!

The giants are just a smoke screen. A mere hindrance to the destiny God has set before you. Walk in the Spirit. Live with Life and Peace! Its your time for your thing, from your God!

Two years from now you may very well look at your life and say, "Well, I never..."

I never thought God had this in store for me. I never thought it would be this big! I never thought His provision would be this abundant!

Well, I never!!!
