God always gives us the good things we ask for, guaranteed by Jesus Himself.
The only thing required of us is faith, because we can only receive from God by faith.
It's when you get that deep knowing within that you already have what you asked for, even though you can't see it yet.
But almost as soon as that miraculous moment happens, when you receive something by faith, the thief comes to steal it.
The thief presents you with many reasons to doubt. He reminds you of your past failures. And don't forget about all the times it didn't work!
If the thief can get you to receive the bait, faith is aborted, and God is prevented from getting you what you asked for, even though it belongs to you.
Why? Because we can only receive from God by faith.
The thief is after your faith.
Are you going to give in to his shenanigans? Or are you going to lift up the shield of faith once again to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one?
God has given you everything you need to stand firm against the devil. You just have to do it. Lift up that shield, warrior!
