Fellowship Hall

First I'd like to say I thank God for his love for me, and for whosoever will let Him love them. Without God, we can do nothing but with Him all things are possible. *John 15:5 “I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing." *Matthew 19:26 "But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible." Have you ever been in battles where there are victories left and right?  I've been there too, and it was just recently I got knocked for a loop. Fighting battle after battle for myself but more so for a brother or sister in the Lord or fighting back to back with a brother or sister in the LORD, and victory after victory, then all of a sudden, Wham! How many of you warriors know that it's easier to fight a battle on behalf of someone else than for yourself at times? I certainly do. And that's where my "wham" came in,  I'd started questioning my walk with the Lord because of a mistake that I'd made, then another one followed. Why was I continually making this one particular mistake? What was wrong with me? Why couldn't I beat this thing? God revealed to me the answer to that question later on. Next thing you know I'm in a state of depression for about a week. I didn't eat, barely drank anything, and when I did get up I made it as far as the couch and I stayed there till I made it back to the bed again.  All kinds of things went through my head, but God about three days into this depression showed me the "Foot Prints In The Sand". How He knew of the past battles won, and This Battle, of His wounded warrior. I saw Him carrying me in His arms along the sand, my body almost lifeless, and He's telling me "I've Got You, I'm Carrying You Through This, Don't Give Up I Will See You Through, Just Don't Give Up" This, yes, brought tears to my eyes and some comfort in time of need, but still I struggled. It wasn't till Tuesday that the Lord really started to make a point. The Scripture repeated over and over and over in my head, with Emphasis on this part alone.  "Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit saith the LORD"... The full scripture is found in Zechariah 4:6 “Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.” Louder and louder did that little bit of Scripture get, with God making more and more emphasis on, "Not by might Star, nor by power, but by My Spirit saith the LORD, Not by Your Might Star, nor by Your Power Star, but By MY SPIRIT saith the LORD, do you not think that My Spirit, which lives in you, is Strong Enough, is Capable of Doing the Impossible? Do you not think that My Spirit can Handle This? Get up, Let My Spirit within you get you through this! It's Not by your might, nor by your power, but By My Spirit saith the LORD". It was then that I caught a glimpse just a glimpse of the depth of what that statement of Scripture meant. But it was enough to see me through. I hope this warrior gets the privilege to know an even deeper glimpse of this Scriptures depth, and knowing from this experience what I may have to go through to get it, I'm willing, if it means to be able to stand strong, unmovable, and unshakable in His Words of that bit of Scripture if nothing else. I want that more than anything, to be strong, steadfast, and unmovable in the LORD. Knowing I am nothing without Him and I can do nothing without Him. I thank you LORD for this past battle that left your warrior wounded then healed and I praise you for being God Almighty and loving me the way you do and for your revelations. No matter in what form they sometimes must come in. Thank you my LORD for loving me and I do love you. And I want to thank everyone who helped pray for me and who came by to visit me during this time. We need one another. But more so we need God.
