As for me and my house, we will serve the __________?
Whom will your house serve? Big question that demands an answer. It defines much of who you are and what you are about.
How would your spouse or kids answer that question? Is it the same answer you would give?
Our home represents many things. It is the essence of who we are and what we are about. But the enemy wants to invade your home. He wants a seat at the table.
In Genesis 3, Adam and Eve did not protect their home and it was infiltrated by the serpent. Tragic results of not keeping watch.
How do we protect our homes? Let's look at 1 Peter 5:6,9
v.6 - Humble yourself before God. Ask for help.
v.9 - Resist satan and stand firm in your faith.
Okay, you are probably wondering how this works in everyday life? HOW do we resist satan and stand firm in our faith? How? Practically? How?
Let's start by not forsaking the gathering. Hang with friends. Get some accountability. There is strength in numbers.
Also...tell your story and stop holding everything inside of you. The battle within creates losers, not winners. Talk to someone about your struggles and ask for help.
Lastly and the place to camp-out, is prayer. It works and is powerful. Pray for the Holy Spirit to free you of the sin that so easily entangles you. It works, I promise!
So... who or what will your home be known for?
Joshua 24:15 - ...As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord!
