We have an enemy, his name is Satan, and he hates us because we are GOD’S children created in GOD’S image to have fellowship with Him! Satan wants us to always be looking at how far we have fallen, rather than how far we have come! Remember he is a liar and there is no truth in him; he is the father of lies (Ref. John 8:44)! He always wants our focus to be on our past instead of our future and on how far we still have to go, rather than how far we have come!
He wants our minds filled with how many times we fail instead of how many times we have succeeded!
But our heavenly FATHER wants us to focus on our strengths and not our weaknesses, our victories and not our losses, our blessings and not our problems!
Philippians 3:13-14
“Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of GOD in MESSIAH YESHUA.”
Let’s keep our eyes focused on YESHUA! And don’t ever believe the lies of our enemy (Satan).
