Dear Friend,

I've got exciting news for you!  No matter what the devil has told you, it's a lie! No matter what he says he is going to take you out with, it's a lie!  He's the father of all lies. He can't help but be a liar. He even lies to himself. Ever thought about that? He lies to himself every time he thinks he can destroy you while you're trusting in the Lord! We serve a mighty God who is more than able to take care of us! He is the Lord of Hosts! He's the Lord of a multitude of soldiers! We have been chosen as soldiers! We don't have to be tied up with the snares of the enemy!

I keep hearing the Lord say, "Prevailing Peace". Prevailing peace is peace that wins every time. But it must be used. Psalms 34:14 says that we must, "Depart from evil and do good; Seek peace and pursue it.". You may ask yourself, "How do I pursue peace?" Look at Isaiah 26:3, "You will keep (guard, preserve, conceal) him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he trusts in You". Peace is a weapon that will completely stop the enemy's voice. Not only will it guard you, but it will also conceal you! It will hide you from the voice of accusation and distraction!

There is a strength that we all need to live in right now. It's the power of the kingdom of God. It's righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost. The enemy cannot win when we choose to walk in the Spirit. Depart from evil - depart from the torment that the voice of the enemy brings; do good - lift up the standard of God against your enemy and walk in "Prevailing Peace". "Great peace have they who love your law, and nothing can make them stumble." Psalms 119:165. Follow the Word, live it, and what presents itself to you as a stumbling block, God will make it a stepping stone! Remember... "all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose". You have been called and chosen to be a soldier.

We must focus our minds on the promise and not the problem. Problems are sometimes like gnats. They'll fly around your head aggravating you until you do something about it. Peace will conceal you. It will hide you in His presence. Dress in your camouflage! It belongs to you! Seek peace! Pursue it - chase it down! That's walking in the Spirit!

Until we meet again, we are...
