The Devil is Stressed

Therefore rejoice, you heavens
and you who dwell in them!
But woe to the earth and the sea,
because the devil has gone down to you!
He is filled with fury,
because he knows that his time is short.

Rev 12:12

Our enemy is stressed. He is defeated, downgraded, a desperate enemy that hits everything in his way, and his clock is ticking. His work and dirty war is dated. The devil is on his way to his own trial and after the closing argument a sea of fire awaits. Yes... this should make him a very stressed out devil ;).

Stress does not suit a disciple of Jesus. Stress does not suit an ambassador for the Kingdom of God. Stress is unworthy. We live by faith (faith = safety and peace) believing in a good God. We are forgiven, our trials are over and we are righteous in Jesus' blood and victory on the cross! We are not stressed out, but continue to work strategically and purposefully to evangelize the world and disciple people. All people groups will hear! We have soon reached the goal and will complete the Great Comission. Jesus will soon return and we are glad!

Avoid stress! Stress is not spiritual, but soulish. Faith is not spelled constant cramping, pressure and stomach ache, but; rest, joy and reassurance. Here are some tips how to avoid stress in every day life;

1) Take a deep breath and whisper; Holy Spirit...
2) Look the person in the eye when you are talking to them...
3) Be present in everything that you do, do one thing at a time...
4) Have a cup of coffee (or a fruit) and enjoy life for 5 minutes with a good friend...
5) Have someone tell you a miracle story, or tell someone a God-story yourself...

Life is too short to "huff and puff" through. The people around you are worthy of your attention. Reflect and enjoy what God has already done in your life. Think of how beautiful the Himalayas acually are while you are climbling Mt Everest.

see ya!
