The closer that you become to God, the harder, the more rampant the attacks are against your credibility, your intelligence, your character, your strength, your moral fiber and all other personal attributes and components that compose your existence. But, it is of vital importance to recognize what is going on. It has nothing to do with "you," and everything to do with the Truth that resides within you. You will not be without trials and the attempts at condemnation from a jury of your peers, preying upon any and all of your fears, hence the reason why God did not give us the Spirit of fear. Who knows the enemy better than He?
Without fear, your ability to focus remains crystal clear. You become adamant about being adamant and only God's adamant Love can penetrate your adamant heart.
The people and things that tempt your Spiritual resolve, will inevitably falter, wither and dissolve, after they have been used to boast about the Love of the Lord, by way of their interaction with you and your response to the Him within you, by soaring above and beyond the trials and their curfew.
You see, the trials have an expiration date and an enforced curfew that is realized at the very moment that you invoke the Spirit of the Lord and make a declaration that "Greater is He that is within me, than he that is within the world."
Do not lay claim to things that do not bare your name. Things such as: failure, loser, fearful, quitter, unfocused, unfaithful and noncommittal. They are all lies based upon a structure whose foundation is solid fear.
Declare what God says that you are and live within that defined purpose, irrespective of who is not pleased, so long as it is pleasing in the eyes of the Lord, in harmonious discord with what they thought God's Blessings could not afford. If the only thing that He cannot do is fail, then prep for victory, for you shall prevail!
