I hear the Lord say:

When the enemy attacks you, he attacks your mind. He wants your past to haunt you and he wants your future to frighten you.  He wants to plant seeds of doubt and water them into weeds that tangle your mind. Then you are confused and trapped in the underbrush. The briers catch your legs and scratch you. The vines of deceit entangle you.

Take my sword, my machete of truth, and hack away at the web of lies and false accusations. My sword slices through the brush, severing all deceptions to the ground.  Take the weeds and choking vines and cast them into the fire. They are destroyed and vanquished!! Your mind is free to focus on Me… My victory, My strength, My purpose and your destiny.  You are more than a conqueror. Your strength is regained as you seek Me, find Me and rely on Me. My shield and sword remain in your hands, to wield at will. Keep alert for the enemy seeks to return. Keep your guard up. I am your strong tower. No weapon formed against you shall prosper. I am mighty to save.

Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil

prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. 

  I Peter 5:8  ESV
