You know, after walking with the Lord for two years, I’m still completely blown away by how awesome He is. I sometimes go for weeks not sensing His presence, not hearing from Him, even coming dangerously close to thinking all of this is just a trick of my mind, something I made up to help me get through life. But then God shows up in such an amazing and powerful way, He cannot possibly be denied. There is a situation that is troubling me, making me question my role in ministry and I brought it to God in prayer and I sought council from two of my sisters. I don’t know what the answer is for this situation, but I do know after hearing two different pastors preach about God being in control of what I might think is a hopeless situation, (both on the same day I might add) that the Lord was speaking to me, putting my mind at ease, telling me not to worry about it anymore because He’s got it. Praise God! And to top it off, there was a woman at the Refuge today who seems to be severely demon controlled and tormented. She just went on ranting and raving and swearing so loudly at the crowd and at invisible people, it was quite disturbing. So as the pastor started to give the sermon, I started praying out loud, softly, for the demons inside her to be silent in Jesus’ name and over the course of the next half hour, she slowly settled down and became silent! Praise God again and again! I don’t claim any of this as anything I did because there were quite a few of us in the back and I’m certain we were all praying for those demons to be silenced and ultimately they were silenced by the power of almighty God! And as His word says over and over and over, “by this they will know that I am the Lord!” Hallelujah! So when I spoke to one of my sisters and she told me the enemy is just laughing at this whole thing because he thinks he can ruin our ministry, I realized, of course, she’s right and we certainly cannot let him have this victory! HE IS DEFEATED!!! So entertaining thoughts of leaving the ministry have now been laid to rest. I will not roll over and die. I will fight this war with all the power of Christ in me. Losing is not an option! Our God is an awesome God! He reigns now and forever more! We win thanks to what Jesus Christ has done for us! “It is finished!” Praise God!!!
