Read This, Do Not Let The Enemy Try To Take You Off Course; Eileen Fisher: It's the Hour of the Father

Eileen Fisher: It's the Hour of the Father
This is a very on-target message. I do not know about you but in the last few days the enemy has tried to sway me away from what Holy Spirit was prompting me to do. I will share two of the three attempts made by the enemy to try to take me off course. Guess what, in all three attempts he lost big time and Holy Spirit triumphed big time through His leading me to exactly where and what He wanted me to do. It may appear to look as if Holy Spirit is prompting you to go another direction from the initial leading but do not fall for it. It is the enemy trying to steer you off coarse. Keep following Holy Spirit and the enemy will have to retreat because you did not follow his goofy/stupid trap. You are a survivor and I am also. The survivors are the very ones that can leap forward for they survived and have become much stronger for it. Satan, as I have so often said, is really ignorant and down right stupid. If he would just leave well enough alone the survivor would have no cause to leap forward. In his stupidity he likes to stir things up in your life thinking it will bring detriment to you but in reality it causes you to sharpen your weapons of warfare and advance even further than the day he decided to mess with you. He just never learns does he?
I was recently visiting an area and I knew the territory. I was trying to rely on my GPS to get me from destination A to destination B. I knew what the GPS was telling me was off according to how I would take the route in other times past. I leaped in faith out of my gut instinct direction and sure enough, If I would have followed the GPS I would have missed going past the very spot in which Jesus healed me a few years ago. Not only did the enemy try to stop me from going past this location the first time he also tried it again on another day to keep me from going past the area again. You see, I was healed at this location and I always thank Jesus for the healing and ask Him to keep it in my memory. Two attempts by the enemy to stop me from thanking Jesus and two times I gave the thanks to Him. The second time I actually pulled into that very location. So not only did I give thanks, Holy Spirit used that very spot for another growing step in faith in my life too.
When you hear clear direction from Holy Spirit and then there seems to be opposition in the acting out of the direction, follow His leading and do not let the enemy try to take you away from what God has for you and for you to do OK. Once you complete the task at hand you will be able to see much more clear that it was the enemy trying to move you. Jesus triumphs when you hear Him and choose to not let the voices of the enemy try to take you away. He does it so subtle at times and so blatant at other times. Do not cave in, stand firm and strong and watch what the final outcome is by following the lead of Holy Spirit.
I received the sweetest gift in the mail yesterday. One of my dear friends read on my blog how I loved the doll, Chatty Cathy, when I was a child. Believe it or not, she sent me an ornament of Chatty Cathy that actually states a few of her phrases. You pull a little string and she speaks, I just pulled it now as I was writing and she said, "Tell me a story." How appropriate, considering that I am writing right now and it seems to be that my blog is a story of my life that I share with you all.
Remember, stand firm in the word of God and do not retreat but advance for the kingdom of God. You may say how do I do that? Simple, by stepping out in faith a little bit more each day. You see, it is the gathered, little daily steps in faith that will cause you to take the giant leap one day. Do not settle for adequate when He has grand in store for you.
