“SNOT”

On this last Tuesday of the year I want to share something that may sound gross at first but has a good spiritual lesson: SNOT

Oh, my you say, what in the world.

Well, as I was blowing out of my nose earlier, snot that keeps multiplying and is such a nuisance, I realized that the enemy of our soul keeps bringing snot like things into our lives to cause us irritation and to keep us from God’s plan for our lives.

S – Satan’s
N – Nasty
O – Overwhelming
T – Things

First, let me establish the fact that satan is a liar and hates who you are and any thing good in your life. His goal is to take you to torment when you die and if he cannot do that because you have received Jesus as your Savior then his goal is to make you miserable and ineffective.

So, what is satan’s nasty overwhelming things in your life. Is it business, busyness, physical, financial, relational problems.

What are the nasty situations in your life that seem to multiply and keep coming. What is the snot in your life.

Reflect with me on the year 2017. What situations, temptations and problems seem to come at you on a regular basis? You think you have defeated this temptation, or forgiven that person that hurt you, or made a change to spend some time in prayer and the word and asking for God’s guidance in all you do, and then Bam, it all comes rushing back.

You get to busy to pray and read God’s word. You bow to the temptation you thought you had defeated. Suddenly all that someone did to hurt you comes rushing back with bitterness and hate or you hit another financial crisis. The list could go on and on.

The Word of God tells us that Satan goes about as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. That means he is looking for a weak place in your life that he can interject some snot into. He will use any avenue we allow to defeat and discourage us and bring us down.

1 Peter 5:8 (KJV)
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

The key is to stay so close to Jesus that the enemy is not close enough to find those weak places.

Proverbs 18:10 (KJV)
The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.

Nahum 1:7 (KJV)
The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.

If we want the Lord God of the Universe to fight for us we must acknowledge Him not only as Savior but as Lord.

I admonish you to join with me this last week of 2017 and say with the Apostle Paul:

Philippians 3:13 (KJV)
Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,

May we take hold of the fact that if God is for us, that is all we need. Remember the good things and let’s forget the nasty things satan has dredged up and overwhelmed you with. Commit your way unto God. Ask Jesus for direction and help every step of the way, and as 2017 becomes 2018 you will walk in Faith and Victory.

Release all satan’s nasty overwhelming things in your life to the Lord Jesus Christ and then forget them and move on to the awesome God has planned for you.

Snot, you are gone in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth!!

Father, I come to you in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. What a wonderful Father you are. You Love us and fight our battles when we let you. I release all that the enemy keeps throwing at me to your Lordship and I decree and declare that I forget those things that are behind, and I pressed forward to your amazing plans. Amen

Have an awesome week!!
Love, MeMaw
