The Mystery

To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you the hope of glory

- Colossians 1:27

They mystery has been revealed to us, therefore it is no longer hidden that with the death, burial and resurrection of Christ we have been given the most glorious of all gifts, the indwelling of God Himself. We are the temple of the Holy Spirit, He is in us who believe. This all being true, I am so very thankful this morning for the words of our Lord, "Greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world."

I am finding that the enemy this morning is seeking to bring discouragement my way, but I am thankful for the fact that I am recognizing his tactic, for we are not ignorant of his devices and schemes. So interesting are his ways; last night my little brother woke me up after midnight a bit upset... someone had driven down our street and threw a big rock at my truck, and then sped off. I didn't care to get all involved with it then, so I just went back to sleep. This morning when I woke up I took a look at it, it's not as bad as the picture that I had established in my mind, but it is dent #87575 on my truck, which just seems to get more and more beat up each day :)

This is just one of many things that seem to be beginning to plague my mind, therefore your prayers are certainly appreciated. God is doing a work and is going to continue to do so, both in my life and yours... and most assuredly our enemy is going to seek to come against that work with all that he has.

Please keep my family in your prayers... I have come home to find a cloud of oppression over my family ~ for such a time as this God has brought me back... God is Good.
