11 months since I last wrote. Not because I didn't want to, but because the devil silenced me.
Revelation 12 speaks of an accuser.
And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
He is called an accuser for a reason. Words spoken to and about you.
Perhaps some true, perhaps some false.
Satan means "adversary" in Hebrew.
Adversary means ENEMY.
Why on earth would we listen to someone who is our enemy?
Well, I am not certain. Because I know I've done in more than once.
The next verse says, And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
This first post back isn't going to be long. But it is a LOUD warning to Satan and all his demons that he can't and won't mess with me without going through God Almighty first.
I will overcome. Just like a few summers ago when the Lord woke me up with an actual knocking in my bedroom... He is going to be speaking clearly to me again.
I have decided with my free will, that I will not allow situations, people, and the accuser to hold me in a prison any longer!!!! If you have been dealing with feeling attacked by the enemy, I encourage you to make time completely alone to pray. Get on your face and talk to God. Everyone makes time for their phones, their hobbies, their shopping, their sports, their jobs, even their ministries!!!
But, I'm really wandering this, how many people actually get alone with God, in a way that He can speak and you can hear...
I, Hannah Jo Ledbetter, am a child of God. I am saved, forgiven and God is molding me into whatever it is He sees fit for me to be. It may be a lonely person's friend. I may be someone who writes occasionally on this blog for another decade. I might be a teacher to 7-10 sweet girls each Wednesday night.
What I do know is this, God has called me to be a man's wife, I'm to be his HELPER. Not his hinderance. God has called me to be three beautiful children's mama. God has called me to homeschool them and be their biggest influence. That's a lot of pressure, to be a helper to a man who is a Pastor and to be a mama to three kids growing up in a world where Christians want to live a lukewarm life and never know what it even is to pray.
I told a sweet lady at our church recently how I appreciate her putting up with my "strong convictions." The truth is though, my convictions aren't even close to being strong enough. Not even close.
If we saw for a split second, the holiness of God in person, we just might not have our sight like Saul for three days. Which would be good for most all of us.
This world isn't our home!
I have a ways to go, just like you. But I'm not staying where I am at ANY MORE.
IN JESUS NAME!
