Just had to share…

A rattlesnake bit one of my sheep in the face about a week ago. The deadliest snake that lives around. The sheep's face was swollen and probably hurt like crazy, but the old rattlesnake did not know the type of blood that runs through the sheep.

The antidote for these bites is usually made from sheep's blood. The sheep was face was swollen for about 2 days but the blood of the lamb destroyed the serpent's venom.
I was worried, but the sheep didn't care. He kept eating, he kept drinking, and he kept walking because he knew he was fine.

Don't worry about the serpent or his bite, just be sure that the Lamb's Blood flows through your veins. (unknown author)

TRUE STORY: A snake ambushed a lizard and was able to begin swallowing him whole. The lizard managed to clamp on to the snake and with vice grip tenacity would not let go, would not give up in the midst of the struggle. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, the snake was forced to regurgitate the lizard. The lizard scampered off in victory, the snake slithered off exhausted and defeated. When the devil tries to consume you with doubt, fear, bitterness, anger, lies, envy, lust, pride, hatred....hang on to God's promises and DO NOT LET GO. 👊📖 Christ in you is your strength! Philippians 4:13.

The Eagle does not fight the snake on the ground.

It picks it up into the sky and changes the battle ground, and then it releases the snake into the sky.

The snake has no stamina, no power and no balance in the air.

It is useless, weak and vulnerable unlike on the ground where it is powerful wise and deadly.

Take your fight into the spiritual realm by praying and when you are in the spiritual realm God takes over your battles.

Don’t fight the enemy in his comfort zone,
change the battle grounds like the Eagle
and let God take charge through your earnest prayer.

You’ll be assured of a clean victory !!

I borrowed this and boy what a blessing!

The year my dad- who was a pastor at the time- was caught in his addiction, the Church leadership asked him and my mom to not attend the Christmas Eve service. The investigation was ongoing and they wanted him to step back while it happened.
What they didn't count on, I don't think, was for me to show up at the service.
I have a deep commitment to tradition so when my parents said we weren't going to the service, I resolved to go by myself.
Under the weight of uncertainty and the fear of what I had suspected might just be a true accusation, I showed up to the candlelight service.
Families were there to celebrate, it was Christmas after all.
I found my usual spot at the front and as the first carols rang out, my tears began to fall. I felt like an imposter. I was a cloud of grief and darkness amidst a cheerful celebration. I felt guilty for dampening the time of rejoicing
As I sat I found myself talking to Jesus. "I'm ruining your party," I told him.
It was his response in that moment that changed Christmas for me forever. He told me, Cassie I came to that manger as a baby not for those in celebration, but for those in mourning.
I came for you. In this moment. Right here.

For the first time in my relatively easy life, I was tasting heartache (and oh if only I knew how much more would come). And it was there that Jesus showed me the heart of Christmas. Jesus stepped down to pursue the broken and the hurting and the lost.

If this year broke you down. Isolated you. Left you grieving or fearful or hurt. I want you to know that you don't have to muster up cheer. You don't have to feel like a downer in the midst of celebration. You can sit at the feet of a savior who came for you where you're at right now. That's how Immanuel works. It's God with us in the dirt giving us hope in the face of despair.
