Endurance through transition.

Hey everyone!! I am back! Its been about three whole months! God has been working tremendously in my life!  Although things have been good the adversary has been doing his job. When I tell you I've been attacked in every aspect of my life... you probably won't believe half of the stuff you're about to read. Well where should I begin?! Lets start with the transition. Many of you may already know that I serve as the Lead Chaplain Assistant at Clark Atlanta University. Recently, our Chaplain moved to Washington, DC. I was of course devastated because she had a lot to do with my elevation in Christ. The devil began to show up when I received a sanction from student affairs saying that I threatened and caused physical harm to someone in my dorm (which I moved out of). Mind you, there is video evidence that I did not exemplify any of those behaviors. A clip of that video was being passed around the school for comical purposes without my authorization. All in all, I had to complete 40 hours of community service because of this occurrence. The devil tried that #1. Then I had issues with the new leadership within our Chapel. I was lied on and talked about (what else is new). It was questioned whether I could handle being the Lead Chaplain Assistant or not (I'm still the lead btw lol). The devil tried that #2. God anointed me and appointed me for this season so I endured and conquered those two circumstances. Then I took a break from Chapel and took the time to rejuvenate myself spiritually. I attended Greater Travelers Rest Baptist church in Decatur, GA for two Sundays consecutively, and God really moved (I LOVE my church)! The enemy tried to show up after a dynamic encounter with God at CAU's Homecoming Gospel explosion. A young man wanted to argue with me over breaking down a room, like legit after having a beautiful conversation with my two sisters and our former Chaplain and an awesome service. The devil tried that #3. Today my teacher tried to call campus security on me because the TA didn't grade my test, and was very rude and abrupt. He caused a lot of commotion in the office which lead to my senile teacher (that's an entirely different story) to wanting to call campus security. Ultimately, my teacher lost the test that he allowed me to make up. This test was for my constitutional law class and we do our case briefs on lined paper. I got the lined paper out of my note book to take the test and had to leave my belongings in the office for suspense of cheating (cell phone and all). Long story short I submitted a four full page case brief that now cannot be found. Some of my personal paperwork fell out of my note book (when I took my test)and were presented to me today as my "test submission" which made no sense at all. A couple of the papers that were attached in the "test submission" were from a different class. I was told that I gave an excuse note (which I didn't because I wasn't told to do so) that was from my driving defensive class on 10/10/14 and the original test was on 11/4/14 in which I came in late and left early because I was sick and could not complete the test so I was instructed that I could take it again. I know... a bunch of bologna right? The devil tried that #4. Lastly, I almost got into a couple of car accidents on today. One in which I was cut off and then the same car at a red light hit my front bumper. The devil tried that #5. The enemy HATES what he cannot DESTROY. The Bible declares touch not the anointed and do prophets no harm (1 Chronicles 16:22). The adversary can't break the anointing NOR remove the hand of God off of you. In life and in your spiritual life you are going to encounter TRANSITIONS. It may not be easy, but this is a time where God surely proves himself to us. It may seem unbearable and hard, but ENDURE hard times as a good soldier of Jesus Christ (2 Timothy 2:3). It's crazy because the Bible in Basic English translates that scripture to, "Be ready to do without the comforts of life, as one of the army of Christ Jesus." You never want to be too COMFORTABLE in life because ultimately you will be stagnant and there will be no room for TRANSITION. God will never let the righteous be forsaken! Through all of this I shouted I AM EUDAIMONIA. You may ask, "Well what good came out of this Daryl?" and I'll reply "God's grace." The number five is said to be the number of GRACE. The devil tried it 5 times (lol) and I am still alive and doing the works that God has called me to do. With God on your side nothing is IMPOSSIBLE. Jesus conquered death, Hell, and the grave so that you may live. He TOOK the keys from Hell so its gates will not prevail against you! You are EUDAIMONIA! Be of sober mind, because the adversary is like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8). He can't have you because you are a child of the king! So when times get hard ENDURE. Continue to endure so you can TRANSITION. Then you will reap Gods GRACE and unmerited FAVOR. Everything that I asked God for has been given to me... A car... got it... an Ipad... got it for free... GRADUATION... 6 months away (Hallelujah)!! Stick it out and I guarantee you God will reward you. He rewards the FAITHFUL.
