Well this is an odd, blog to read if you knew me from before the race, I really didn’t think that demons and deliverance of them was real.
But then came so much change over the year, I started to believe in the Spirit, more I started to read the bible more and then in Nicaragua, I ran into the first person that I felt like he had a demon in him, I prayed and prayed for his deliverance, but there was something that was still not right, I was still in a place of not walking in the title of Son. I still had so many issues that I had not dealt with, and I was weak to the attack of the enemy after that, I wasn’t able to walk down a street that I had been attacked on, I was oppressed greatly by the enemy and then we prayed it off of me.
Fast-forward to last week. Well it was Wednesday which here means home churches. So as we got to church, and then we went on to the home, I was just praying, and then as we got in sight of the home, I had a feeling that it was going to be different than we thought, and that it would be deliverance. The week before I had talked to a past racer and he told me that when he was in Uganda that was what he did for his normal ministry and that it was common in Uganda. So we went in to the home and it was happening, I started to pray with fervor, like never before I knew that it wasn’t a show for some Americans but was real, I felt in my spirit that the person really did have an evil Spirit. So as it kept going on I just kept praying mostly in the Spirit. Then at some point, the others on the team that came with me went out to teach a bible story to the kids of the area. Well at this point there was only a few of us at the deliverance, I started praying even more. Then the spirit started trying to talk to me, it kept trying to get a view at me, and kept yelling at me, Fire, I’m not totally sure that it was really in English cause I don’t think anyone else understood it, but to me it was in English and the things that come to mine was I prayed for the demon to go back to the eternal fire, for that was where it was headed. Eventually the spirit did leave, and well after a short stop at another person, it left for good. Then I prayed over the whole group I prayed with a confidence that I did not know, but it came from a place inside me that I was in a great place, I felt like I was truly walking in the Spirit.
In all of this the thing that I realized was that I walk in Son ship now, I know that I am a son and that I walk in the confidence, and boldness that the Spirit and the Father has given me, I walk knowing that I do have authority, that God has given me gifts through the Spirit and he wants me to act in those gifts.
I realize more than ever that God has chosen me to walk the walk I am walking and that only I can walk it. I am in a really good, place the experience has built my confidence even more I know that I walk my walk with the Lord, and that nothing can derail it not the enemy or anything, so in that, I have come to a place that I didn’t even know was possible at the begin of the race, but I know that enemy doesn’t want me to be walking the way that I am, so yes the enemy know my name.
