Key Thought
Often, it’s the little things.
The Voice of the Enemy
There’s no doubt about it. We are losing ground. The human is making progress quicker than we imagined and has, thus far, avoided our traps and pitfalls. This is where we must move swiftly and where we must have patience. Drop in a little thing. A “gnat,” if you will. I know, it will seem insignificant at first, but that’s exactly the point. If you make a sin or temptation small, tiny, or seemingly insignificant, then the human will ignore it and move on. But here’s the secret: gnats swarm! I get excited just writing about it. The human will ignore a “small sin” (It’s just one glance, one conversation, one click, one text, one thought, one word of gossip) and, boom! before you know it we will swarm them with lust, greed, anger, and they won’t be able to swat the swarm! Got it? One gnat. Get them to allow just. one. gnat.
The Voice of the Father
My son/my daughter, I love you so much, all the way down to the smallest detail. When I ask you for all of your heart, its because I love you so very much and it gives me great joy to have all of you. I know the “gnat” seems insignificant, especially because you’ve walked away from some of the “big things”, but now is the time to lean in. Seize the momentum you are feeling. Sense the Spirit working in your favor. Sense the exhilarating push into new life. See the Kingdom of Darkness moving backward, and watch the Kingdom of Light advance. You have great power on your side, my son, my daughter. Keep pressing on; every gnat defeated in My Name!
