So you are being beaten up. Horns blowing, car doors slamming, trash and glass thrown in your yard, illegal entry into your home, just to name a few things. Afterall, we're going back 22 years when the Lord placed you in the neighborhood, in the house, on the street, in the city and state where you live. You have lost your privacy. You have no personal or private life. You are watched 24/7/365. One thing is for sure, if God has called you, elected you, and chose you before you were formed in the womb, you are smack dab in the place where the Lord wants you to be; for His glory. That He may be lifted up, that He may be magnified. That the Lord God almighty may take dominion. Every organized attack; every act of subtilty and deception directed towards you--from the pulpit, on your job, in the grocery store; and sprinting up and down the city streets is foreordained by God.
Those God foreknew before HE formed you in the womb, He also predestinated. God is good. He deserves all the honor, the glory and the praise. We whom God have chosen to suffer are not worthy to be compared (Romans 8) with the things that the Lord has prepared for them who love Him (1 Corinthians 2). We are not worthy to suffer as Christ suffered, bled and died for us. We are humbled in Your presence Father God. All glory is Your's magnificent Father!
Father God, we thank you this day and everyday. We thank you for every breath we breath. Lord God we know that no weapon formed against us shall prosper (Isaiah 54) but sharpen us, strengthen us and make us worthy of our calling according to Your purpose, Your plan and Your will.
And therefore, it begs the question, who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come; nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8)

Exercise your authority to tread on serpents and to cast out demons. You are the head and not the tail. Greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world. Exercise your holy boldness.
