This message is inspired by the Reading, “Checked Out Of Confusion” from the Book, Overcoming Darkness.

When we Overcome Darkness, we learn to patiently wait for God to Order our steps. We no longer turn to the devices of our flesh to resolve the conflicts we experience in the World. We learn that Waiting Patiently for God to Order our Steps is a Virtue. We apply an abundance of Love on all of our affairs. We are very slow to anger. We know that Patience is our Armor to withstand the wiles of the devil. (Joel 2:13, Colossians 3:9-10)

The Human Spirits around us challenge our Patience. These Human Spirits try to convince us that they alone have the answers and the solutions. Our growth in Patience gives us the ability to endure and overcome all challenges. We possess the strength to withstand all the negative spirits of the enemy. We know that the enemy’s goal is to bring Darkness and adversity into our day. (James 5:11, Ephesians 6:11)

Our Patience helps us develop a Christ-like Character. Patience provides us with wisdom and great understanding. We remove blame and dishonor from our Character. Waiting Patiently gives us the strength to always do good in any situation. We have no fear of Evil Doers. No weapons formed against us shall prosper (Where is Peace?). (Romans 15:5, Proverbs 14:29, 1 Corinthians 13:4-5, Galatians 6:9, Psalm 37:1)

Our Daily Focus is on the positive fruits of the Spirit. We focus on Love, Joy and Peace. When the enemy attempts to invade our space, he gets no response (A Better Way). The enemy will always flee when we check out of confusion. (Galatians 5:22, Isaiah 40:31, James 4:7)

Song for the Week: 

“Checked Out of Confusion” Written and Performed by John Stuckey Jr

CHECKED OUT OF CONFUSION

I checked out of confusion

Not a place for me

It dulls my senses

It’s not my Destiny

It’s a Spirit practiced by many

It confuses my soul

But with God’s Grace

He Lightens the Load

A resounding message

So loud and clear

His work and his wonders

Are Melodies to my ear

Checked out of confusion

There is no light over there

Receive God’s Blessings

They’re around us everywhere
