Today was a day of glorious breakthrough! I've been putting my armor on each day and fighting hard but the enemy has been fighting back just as hard. I've been kicked, hit, beaten, knocked down but thankfully JESUS is SO much more powerful than satan. Satan is an idiot that continues to mess with Jesus' disciples but I guess he didn't get the memo that WE WIN!
Over the past week or so I have been extremely attacked by satan. It was a subtle attack at first then he called in reinforcements. There has been a spirit of worry, doubt, fear, and distrust in my life lately but ALL those lies have been BROKEN off by the power of Jesus! I had been at peace about my support goal for the World Race, knowing that God will provide then I started to doubt, so foolish of me! After looking at my packing list for the World Race and all the equipment I will need I soon became overwhelmed. I've had no motivation to support raise which is no good!
God is so faithful though! When His children pray He answers! He loves for us to pray bold, persistent prayers and that is what He is teaching me to do! Through His word and beautiful conversations I have once again acquired His peace! I was able to start my day off right spending time with Jesus, I consistently prayed off ALL negative spirits in my life throughout the day and this afternoon I was blessed with two wonderful conversations with teammates and that was the cherry on top! Through those conversations I really regained a sense of peace. And now I can say, "It's okay. He's got in all under control!"
"Don't worry about anything; instead pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all he has done. Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus."
-Philippians 4:6-7-
For a side not, (serious one sorry) I'm going to try vulnerability out and ask for your prayers, as my brothers and sisters in Christ! This Saturday, Feb 20, is my mothers birthday. God has blessed my dad and I with the opportunity to go visit my brother and his fiance in Florida this weekend so for this I am grateful! Please pray that we would continue to find healing from mom's death, I think it's key to heal well. Pray that God and the Holy Spirit would be greatly in our midst, ministering to each of our hearts. Thank you in advance for your prayers! They mean more than you know!
