Your Ally

One of the very worst feelings is that you are alone against danger. Satan loves it when that feeling hits you, knowing that you are at your lowest level of spiritual strength.

Of course, this is when all the doubts creep back in.
-Does God really know just how bad I've been?
-Did I really mean it, when I was saved?
-But I've sinned since then, doesn't that negate the
.whole thing? etc. etc.
.
Almost any question can hit you with doubts, you wouldn't be human, otherwise. The Devil knows just how to turn the pressure up and keep you reeling.

Why is this? He knows if you are suffering from doubt, you are not an effective witness for Jesus. The less you witness, the less likely it is that someone else will be influenced by you for God. Your testimony just might be the key to their understanding of their need for Christ. Without it, that individual might never come to the Lord, and Lucifer does not want any of us in heaven!

Not that he loves us, you understand. He hates us because we can go to heaven to be with God, and he cannot. It is very important that we remember, as much as the Devil hates us, he hates God worse. Keeping us out of heaven denies us to our Lord, who made us, and loves us so much that He sent His Son to die for us. There is no other love that can compare to this!

So what do you do when you are bottomed-out? When all your reserves are totally spent, and you feel so alone you can't even muster up the energy to even look up?

That is the time to remember what Jesus said to us in Mat 28:20 "...and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the world. Amen."

Keep your head up! With Jesus as your ally, who can stand against you?

See you again soon, in Paradise.
