God is the reason not me!

The devil will do anything that he can to affect what God is doing spiritually, but the enemy cannot stop God.  Don't you know satan cannot stop GOD's words, His Holy Spirit, His power, His plans, His authority?! The Lord begin to give me visions of church services I've been in over the past couple of years and how in those services the Holy Spirit used me... but I wasn't amazed by that... though I am humbled the Holy Spirit chose to use me during those services with certain spiritual gifts. What left me in amazement was what God showed me of and reminded me of the day or two, or both, before those churches services. On those Fridays and Saturdays before those powerful services, each time I faced some challenging times, whether it was the enemy (yes the enemy... get mad at him) causing sickness, hurt, disappointment, discord, strife, hindrances, deception, distractions or just plain disturbances. God reminded me how I pushed through it all and made sure I was in church that Sunday despite how I felt. Yes, the devil can interfere with what God is trying to do spiritually but he cannot stop it. Though each of those moments were tough, God had to show me how He got me through it. Let me say I am not now, past-present-future, nor will I ever be a 'spiritual giant' (that label - term is a pet peeve of mine, it places an emphasis on the person rather than the Holy Spirit operation through the person). It has greatly bothered me anytime someone has addressed me this way or labeled me as a "spiritual giant". It is too misused. The Holy Spirit is the spiritual giant, we (I) are just the willing vessel through which He flows, speaks, moves, if we (I) will continually yield ourselves unto Him. It is always my desire for me to see others understand it has nothing to do with Kimberly Nicole McDaniel, but it has everything to do with the God I serve. I am only strong because of God's strength. I am only still here being used of God, because of His continual mercy, grace, and healing in my life. I am only a recipient of certain spiritual gifts, because the Holy Spirit chooses me for that; only after I have  completely surrendered to Him, prayed, and sought the gifts through much trial and error, persistence and growth, prayer and fasting. I have only grown spiritually (and continue to do so) because of God not giving up on me and by my desire to walk in His ways and not quit. I only win battles I go through, because God fights for me. I only have a God sword because of His Holy Word. You see the pattern here... everything goes and comes back to God. HE IS THE REASON FOR IT ALL. HE IS THE REASON I AM WHO I AM.
