It never stops to amaze me how after an event is over, Satan does all that he can to prevent us from preparing for the next. It never stops to amaze me how when we\u2019re preparing for an event, Satan does all he can to keep it from happening. Sometimes he uses the tactic of things not going just as you plan. Sometimes he uses other people against you. Using their discouragement or frustration with you\u2026against you. Other times he uses illnesses of those you are close to. He even stoops so low that he tries to even hurt those you care about. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, what is even MORE amazing to me, is how God completely destroys Satan\u2018s tactics. Because no matter what it is he\u2019s doing, God steps up even bigger. Here\u2019s an example. I made a simple mistake. I advertised an opportunity to raise money for the ministry. I had won some tickets on the radio to a local rock event. One of my favorite bands is playing. Skillet. They are a Christian rock band. Anyways, after realizing that they are taking the stage later than I wanted to go watch, I decided to sell them. But, I didn\u2019t realize how I put it out there was going to look. Like the ministry is supporting something that it shouldn\u2019t. My fault. But unintentional. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then one of our supporters contacted me. He\u2019s a Veteran. Someone I have grown close to. Letting me know the concern that others were expressing to him. God intervened. Which is awesome. It was a simple fix. Easy to do. And helped us avoid facing scrutiny. So nothing really terrible happened. But the optics could have been hard to deal with. I\u2019m so thankful to be surrounded by those that care about what we are doing. They believe in the cause. Talk about a blessing. Incredible. Keeping the mission the focus. And helping me keep focused on the mission. So let\u2019s remember that. Let\u2019s remember that no matter what it is that Satan tries to do, he fails. He fails when we believe that Jesus is our Lord and Savior. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
