Yes Lynn, I needed to read what Thomas Kempis wrote and what you posted above.
Yesterday, after a very stressful day, I heard the word “accuser” interiorly. I realized after some dialogue with the Lord, that the enemy had been accusing me of a lot of things….and I was starting to believe it. This all falls in line with my Lenten lesson this season.
Get thee behind me Satan!
Do not believe the lies!
Blessed remainder of lent to you all.
My "Valiant Defender"
Posted by Lynn Wehner in Faith on Wednesday, April 13, 2011 9:00 AM
In the heat of the Lenten battle this week, do any of you need to hear these powerful words from Thomas a Kempis? I certainly did …
“Depart from me, you father of lies. You shall have no hold upon me; for Jesus Christ, my Savior, is with me as my valiant defender, and you shall be put to flight in utter confusion” (Imitation of Christ – chapter 6).
Towards the end of a long Lent, sometimes I just need a reminder that Jesus is right here by my side. Sure, I’m tired — but my Savior is not. He gives me the strength to say: “Hit the road, evil one. My ‘valiant defender’ has me covered.”
As we move through these final days of Lent 2011, may we hear and respond to the Lord’s voice alone and not give Satan the time of day.
Repeat after me: “Go away, prince of lies. You have no hold on me. Move along. Nothing to see here. Jesus has my back.”
