The Lord Made Me Strong!
I must be on the brink of a breakthrough! I must be! Why? Because every week, I am being tested in two areas: relationship and money. The enemy keeps attacking me, but the gates of hell will not prevail! Do you hear me? I said the gates of hell will not prevail.
This morning you could find me in bed praying. The more I laid there and prayed, the more I felt these little thought-attacks. I tried to take them captive. But it wasn’t working. I called on My Helper! I heard: We not going to take this lying down. GET UP!
GET UP! GET UP! GET UP!
I got up! The same power that rose Jesus from the grave lives on the inside of me. Once my feet hit the floor, it was over with! I got to warring in the spirit! I got to marching because I am in the army of the Lord.
See the enemy wants me to be pre-occupied with those two areas: relationship and money. But God is not a man that HE SHOULD LIE and everything that the Lord told me is mine…IS MINE! Any thought contrary to that is a lie and I sent it back to the pits of hell where it belongs!
When you’re on the edge of a breakthrough, the enemy comes even harder at you, but guess what…we right from a position of ALREADY WON! HA! I danced on the enemy’s head this morning! When the thought of me not winning tried to take over my peace last night and this morning, I called on the Prince of Peace, my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! Ha!
I used the dagger (Sword) to stab every lie! Now at first, the enemy caught me in a weak-minded space. But the Lord reminded me, you have the mind of Christ! You have MY power on the inside of you! You are more than a conqueror in Christ Jesus! Three swipes! One for Father! One for the Son! One for the Holy Ghost!
We have to apply the Word of God to every thought and every situation that tries to come against us! The Lord told us earlier this week in another conversation that we have to wield not yield! Wield the Word! SWIPE! SWIPE! SWIPE!
The Holy Spirit said: Some stuff you’ve already been prepped and trained for, it’s now time to execute! Execute the enemy with my Word!
10 Finally, let the Lord make you strong. Depend on his mighty power. 11 Put on all of God’s armor. Then you can remain strong against the devil’s evil plans. — Ephesians 6:10-11 NIRV
Remember I said that the enemy thought he was winning when he caught me lying down? Check out that first word in the NIRV translation of Ephesians 6: FINALLY! That word finally means: eventually, ultimately, last but not least, in conclusion, by and by, in closing!! Woo Wee!!!
If you’re like me and you’ve been feeling a bit like a rag doll being tossed around, just know that ULTIMATELY the fight turns around. IN CONCLUSION, we who are with Jesus…WIN!
Let me reintroduce myself real quick: This is your host…FON STRONG because the Lord has MADE ME STRONG!
P.S. I just love my Conversations With God! Don’t you?

SALVATION PRAYER
If you don’t know Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior and you’re not a believer, but you have a desire to be, all you have to do is openly confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9). When you pray that prayer, you are saved. Get connected with a good, bible-based church in your community, stay connected to other believers, and start having daily conversations through prayer with God every single day. Welcome to your new life with Jesus Christ!!!
