Accuser

This morning I was interested that I was reading about
Joshua the high priest.  
In a vision he was standing before God 
and there was Satan 
accusing him. ref Zec 3:1-4      

Then I read Rev 12:9-12   
where Satan is the accuser of the brothers (in Christ)     

Accuser:           
Joshua had on filthy clothes (that God replaced with rich clothes) 
Those in Revelation are part of a cosmic battle 
of evil and Good 
and in both texts 
there is an accuser 
a nagging 'you don't measure up'       
a 'God can't bless you because you are filthy'     

Some days I just feel defeated
- no good,
- made a mess and will make more....
- God maybe even made a mistake calling me to be
part of His plans.......

Accuser....

Lord Jesus,
I know these words don't come from
Your Spirit
who builds me up...

I know there is an accuser
who wants to defeat me....
the critical murmuring campaign....

I choose to walk in Your truth
- You have chosen me
- You will complete the good work You have planned for me
- I am victorious in You
and that You in me
is able to clean up
and redeem any mess I make.

Thank You Lord Jesus
Encourager.
Lord of All
Master of my life
Origin of all that is Good.

I choose who I listen to
You
and not the
accuser.

Yeah.
