I am sure that transonic buffeting prevented us from breaking the sound barrier. In the world of jets, this is a technical term for the shaking that takes place as a jet approaches the speed of sound.

Certainly, this phenomena turned many pilots away from “going for it”.

In life it is no different, and we have a great description of it in scripture:

When Jesus was about to walk into His ministry, He was taken into the wilderness.

Matthew 4 3 The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”

No food.

No water.

And the voice of evil calling out all He knew to be true.

“If you are the Son of God” …

How dare Him.

How dare Him take my best friend out into the wilderness to treat Him as such.

But this is the story of Christ.

His willingness, His offer … His amazing desire to make us right caused Him to leave all that was comfortable in order that we might have life.

Today, on May 13, I ask you the question:

Who Are You?

Because the answer to this question is going to be challenged and attacked by the devil himself.

Are you about to do something amazing?

Or start something new?

Or be the difference in a community?

Are you in celebration mode as you have accomplished something great?

Because all of these put you in great position to be challenged by Transonic Buffeting

You see, God has a plan.

But Satan also has one.  And in some perverted act of spiritual influence he would love to shake you out of moving forward into your destiny.  And he will do anything he can to accomplish it.

As you think about your future, I want you to think about such things. Because the enemy wants to challenge you as you move forward.  And these are things you should think about:

  • He will attack you in your weakness
  • He will attack you in your strength
  • He will attack you when your flesh is weak
  • He will attack you when you are down
  • And, more than anything else, we need to acknowledge that Jesus told Peter how dangerous he truly was … and that he has come to steal, kill, and destroy

Knowing this is important.

And knowing what Jesus did is vital.

He knew who He was.

He knew the Word and answered every challenge with scripture.

He knew what the truth was and was quick to identify half truths.

And He was courageous enough to walk forward in faith.

So today, is a great day to ask the question:

Who Are You?

Because if you know who you are in Jesus … 

Satan will not win the battle you are facing … and the shaking will stop as you move forward into your destiny.

I wish it were this easy … but the reality is that tomorrow … he will try to shake something else.

Fight well my friend.

And bring Jesus with you.

You will need Him.

In The Name of the Father and the 

Son and the Holy Spirit.  Amen.
