THE BATTLE FRONT
What God is
up to is always more than us but it always begins with us. I woke up 5:00 am this morning with a burden
to cry out to God. I don’t know how the day would have unfolded if I didn't yield to the promptings of the spirit. God knows what lies ahead, He knows the
devil’s schemes and he always wants us ready for battle. I cried out sobbing in
ways that words cannot express, I had no idea why. One of my sisters at the
camp prayed with me both of us sobbing in the Spirit. As we prayed that God
would intercede within us, we couldn't stop sobbing. Praying to be like Christ
in His suffering, like Paul in jail but yet singing praise to Him, like Enoch
walking with Him and being no more. I had no idea what I was praying for.
Not knowing
what the day had in store for us, we heading to the front lines. Battle after
battle as though the enemy was waiting for a spark for war then I was struck
with sickness, I felt as though I had been sick for days. I could not walk from
the Lodge where we had lunch to my room. Someone was kind enough and gave me a ride to
my cabin. When I tried to get up and
head down for practice I couldn't stand but had to walk and ask for a time of
rest. I felt my life drifting and nowhere and no one to hold on to but God. I
continued to cry out to God even in my weakest point. Feeling a little strong,
I staggered to rise up again and looking at my phone I found a text that was a
sign that the battle was still on. I continued to pray and chose to. Then I got a text from my best friend and
roommate Karen, telling me that she was praying for me.
Being in the
battle front is not easy. James 1:2 “Consider it pure joy, my brothers and
sisters,[a] whenever you face trials
of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your
faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking
anything.”
If you remember please intercede for us as
we intercede on your behalf.
