August 18: Press through the darkness, and resist the work of degradation against you. Continue to push until your existence is found in My kingdom where trust and righteousness prevail. This is a matter of where you invest your time, energy, thoughts, emotions, and will. You do not have to subject yourself to the work of the enemy even when it seems to be pervasive, says the Lord. Romans 13:11-14 And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore case off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in licentiousness and lewdness, not in strife and envy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.
