Delayed but not denied

Have you ever gone through things in your life which made you think, have I been forsaken ? What happened, am I going around in circles? How do I get out of this black hole?

Well, many times in this life of ours we go through many struggles and trials. These struggles and trials are sent by the enemy to move us from our places in the body of Christ. These struggles include, loneliness, rejection, depression, and many other situations that come into our lives to stop us from reaching our destiny in this life. We go through on our jobs, in our homes and in the church and these situations come to distract us and to get us off track and out of the will of God.

This is a tactic used by the enemy to delay (hinder) our walk with God. You see if Satan can keep us worried, depressed, lonely and feeling rejected then we will not be able to hear God, nor will we be able to rightly divide the word of truth. We want be able to understand the word of God that pertains to us. These things may delay us from our destiny but remember this you are not denied. Delayed by Satan but you have not been denied by God. He will never leave you or forsake you.
2Corinthians 4:8-9 says "we are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down but not destroyed."

Isaiah 55:11 says "So shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth: It shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, And it shall prosper in the thing where to I sent it."
In other words everything that God has promised you, it shall be fulfilled. Every promise will manifest itself to you because it will not return to the father incomplete. Delayed maybe, but not denied!

What must be done is to ask God to remove every distraction, believe that he is able, and fight fire with fire. Use the word of God to combat against the enemy and use every word to quench every fiery dart of the wicked one.

Ephesians 6:10-11 says  "...be strong in the lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil."
 
I hope and I pray that this helps you and that you now realize that no matter what you go through, you have not been forsaken by God and every thing that he has promised you will come to pass. Just remember you can not give up, you must fight in order to defeat the enemy.
