Life Dedication

Question:



I am new to dedicating my life to the Lord, and I am having spiritual attacks from all over I was wondering if you would be able to share a few words of advice? Please write back, Thank you.



Answer:



You're taking a great step in your walk with Christ. Evidence of that is the enemy attacking you. I believe that a healthy perspective on our lives is to look at us as vessels. When God was sharing with Ananias that He wanted to use Saul (later named Paul) He mentioned that he was a chosen vessel (Acts 9:15). Living your life in Christ means that you are choosing to refuse to be satisfied with this present temporal life for His purpose and His Kingdom. The enemy knows that when you find your satisfaction in Him and are filled with Him that He will use you in a way that they will not be able to stand and you will be using your life for His eternal purposes in your life and the lives around you. The Lord will allow you to be attacked in areas that He wants you to learn to look to Him. What the enemy wants you to believe is that your weaknesses lack of ability disqualifies you from the desire Christ has placed in your heart. The Truth is that the Lord will allow them to attack to show you your inability so that you can rest in His ability. (2 Corinthians 12:9-10). In these times of feeling troubled, set your focus on Him and allow Him to set your eyes above these troubles and rest in knowing Him and learning more of Him everyday. (Colossians 3:1-3)
