a moment of opportunity

in the last couple weeks, i have just been feeling spiritual warfare like i never have before...in me and in the people around me - with the trip and in so many other areas of my life...
but there is this picture that God keeps showing me...
its like satan has us by the arms, just pulling us back, closer and closer to him and we are getting tired. just losing motivation to try because it seems impossible, and not really seeing a real way out. he is stronger than we are it seems and its just not worth effort to break free, it seems hopeless...but then all of a sudden God is right there in front of us and its like satan is stunned...and he lets go for a second...but in that second its like all of a sudden there is a chance for us to RUN with everything in us straight for the open arms in front of us, to God.
and its just this picture of the sheer hopelessness and overwhelming feeling of having satan doing everything he can to hold us back...but God comes to rescue us. He will always have the power to overcome satan, and He gives us a moment...that moment where we can break free and run to him and there is hope! but we also have the option to stay where we are. we have a choice.
and its like every time i see that picture i feel like God is asking me to pray that we take that opportunity...that we dont wait, but grab it. as soon as the clouds part and our vision starts to clear up and there is nothing holding us back...we run. we get as far away from satan, from that feeling of defeat as possible and just cling to God with everything in us...because satan is not going to give us all the time in the world to get away.
i just want to share this picture because its helped me a lot and it is still helping me...to not give up. keep fighting, keep struggling, dont get complacent...because the moment will come when satan is forced to back off and let go completely because God will not just let him overcome us...(we are pressed but not crushed...)and God will take over and we need to be ready to run into what He is calling us to. because we have to run, we have to be ready, we have to take action... take that time of freedom, that opportunity, that moment for all we can. because this is GOD'S work. this is GOD's heart, HIS people we are fighting for. He will protect, and He will strengthen...but WE need to grasp that moment and fight for God's kingdom...
John 16:33...we will have trouble in this world, but take heart! He has overcome the world!!!
