SIFTED LIKE WHEAT

The battle I have just stood in the midst of was one of TREMENDOUS force. The enemy decided to shoot his arrows all at once with few spaces between their air speed. His first blow was to my mind and my emotions after my body expelled my child. I was hit by a wave of emotions and a feeling of being overwhelmed and off track. I felt the force of the arrow as it hit and it entered my body.
It spread the venom on the tip into every part of my life and my body ...YET....I kept calling on the Lord because I knew he was the only one that could come and get me out of harm's way and remove the toxic posion in me. I was dazed and confused...riding an emotional, spiritual and mental 'lifecoaster'. The next arrow came with the name of a stranger attached to it. The posion went straight to my job...the arrows rained down in my work air upon me like a sky full of blackness. It was mind spinning...YET GOD.....I reached out to him and asked him if he saw what they were doing against me and saying about me. I asked him even though I knew the answer.
I asked him because I wanted to tell 'MY FATHER' on the demons trying to work destruction in my life. A stranger allowed the enemy to use him as a weapon against me but what he did not know and may still not realize is that the arrow he released for my destruction will re direct it's route and come back to him because it will perform what it was sent out to do but it will perform in the life of the person who sent it out. It will do it because it was sent with a 'distinct intention' and it must perform what it was sent to do...but it can not do it in the life of a child of God. The weapon formed but it can not and will not prosper in the life of a child of God so it must land somewhere in the mud and spread it's poison.
The mud is located in the origin of where the arrow was released. That location is full of the spirit of vengeance and strife and it is soft for poison to grow so it will go back to that place and it will grow whether he recognizes it now or later as the 'fruit of his hand' The enemy used him for my bad BUT GOD used him to be edified in my life even greater. Though ungoldy actions were put in motion, they could not perform in my life because angels were dispatched in my life. A standard was lifted up around me emotionally, spiritually and mentally by my Lord Jesus Christ. He let me stand on my foundation of Faith that grew stronger as the arrows came down all around me.
He covered me with a roof top of Hope that was his blood. Nothing could remove me from the covering of his blood. It has power and it kept me in spite of the arrows falling. They could not successfully penetrate me because God lifted up a standard all around me. His angels came by his command and ministered to my mind, body and soul. When I stood in 'that place' in the presence of God, I called out his name and I laid it all out on that floor of my faith in that place of sanctuary.
I called to the Holy Spirit who was there all the time. I let him know that I believed the Lord Jesus when he told me in his word that he would not leave us alone, that he would send me a comforter, the Holy Spirit. I spoke to the Holy Spirit in that place and told him I needed him to do what God sent him to do. BE MY COMFORTER. I came to the Lord Jesus Christ as he told me , in SPIRIT AND in TRUTH and when I did that in 'that place' , the Lord begin to show me how he was moving and what was REALLY happening in my life in front of the enemies standing outside shooting the arrows for my destruction.
He opened the doors of my sanctuary and I looked out and saw with my spiritual eyes, that he was moving things in place for me for his EDIFICATION to show himself as the MIGHTY GOD he is in my life. He came in like a soft wind and then he swept through and stopped the arrows and bound the tongues and feet of those who carried them . He lifted me when they least expected it and completely removed me out of the way of the poisonous arrows. He gave me the desire of my heart and left the mouths of the snakes wide open and in awe !!
I give him glory and TESTIFY OF HIS GOODNESS ! HE IS THE LORD ALMIGHTY AND WORTHY TO BE PRAISED ! THANK YOU JESUS !
“Simon, Simon, Satan has asked to sift all of you as wheat. But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers.”
