Ha Ha Ha Not This Time

Learn to laugh at the enemy.

Tell the Saboteur Not This Time! John 10:10

"The job of the thief aka saboteur is to plot with wiles and devices to upset what God sets up.

In the book of Ezra it says the enemy "hired counselors to frustrate their Purpose."

To be forewarned is to be forearmed. Consider me a Wise Whistle blower. We are not ignorant of his devices.

FAMILY: The enemy uses family to try to stop you. You would think they would have your back and front.

But, often, they booby trap your best efforts, because they are too familiar and fail to discern your calling or who you are.

Therefore, they seek to sabotage by playing on you through "manipulative rantings, fake tears, false prophecies and work underhandedly to undercut."

Tell the saboteur it won't work this time. Joseph was sold out by half-brothers.

Jesus brothers didn't believe on him til he went to the cross and rose three days later as he said. Paul referred to "perils of false brethren.

Press on dear one, despite the non-support of relatives.

FRIENDS: A friend loves at all times. A false friend isn't revealed at first. A good test is how they react to good news that you share. Their initial facial reaction says it all.

A friend often times is intimidated by your promotion and causes commotion in a feeble effort to stop your locomotion.

True friends don't need an explanation. False friends won't accept it. So, spare yourself heartache and cut the cord. Often, the "ones you helped the most, appreciate it the least.

You don't need those who smile in your face, while sabotaging your back. They are like "snakes in your bosom."

Press on dear one. David's "familiar", meaning, almost like, family friend, Ahithophel counseled Absalom to defile his wives and betray him.

He was bitter against him and sought to booby trap and blow up his family. David survived, revived and thrived. So, will you.

FOES: A man's enemies or foes are often in your household. In adversity you will know your friends. In prosperity you will know your enemies.

Nehemiah had three groups of people in his camp. He had workers. Those who had a mind to work.

He had jerkers. Those who wanted to be in the happenings, but, did nothing to make it happen.

He had shirkers. Those like Sanballat Geshem and Tobiah who taunted and attempted to torment them to hinder the re-building task.

It didn't work. He stayed on the wall and finished in 52 days.

He told the saboteur, NOT THIS TIME!

He had a brick in one hand and a sword in the other.

FORMULA: To finish strong, you need two things. 1) BUILD

2) BATTLE

FINALLY: Family will eventually come around. Brothers will be born for adversity. Friends will be sent as reinforcements and will stick closer than natural brothers. Foes will be defeated and often become your greatest supporters. Tell the SABOTEUR, HAHAHAHAHA, NOT THIS TIME!

Loveee you. Sir Brian
