Written on February 6th

I'm currently writing this blog in a hospital room in South Africa, visiting Rachel Rae. Did I ever expect to go to a hospital outside of the United States and visit one of my squadmates? Of course not, yet here I sit. You might be asking what's wrong with her. I have one response: she was attached by Satan because he hates what she's doing and how she's changing. If there is one thing you need to know about this girl it's this: Jesus has completely changed her life from the inside out. I have never seen such a drastic change in someone.

*There is no sign of Malaria in Rachel's body! Once Malaria is in your body- it stays there- meaning a blood test will always show that you've had Malaria.


Visiting Rae!!! Left to Right: Rachel Rae, Jess, Myself, Sarah. Just looking at Rachel's smile you can tell that Jesus is living inside her and changing her heart to be more and more like His! 

Why am I writing this? To tell you, THE WORLD (specifically America) needs a WAKE-UP call. We are living in such a dark world, yet we want to mask the darkness- to mask the spiritual warfare that is all around.

"We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one.” 1 John 5:19

Why am I targeting spiritual warfare in America? Because it is the easiest place for the darkness to seep in- for the devil to use his conniving schemes. We live in such a fast paced, go go go world, where people walk around in white button downs and neckties, not wanting to face the reality of darkness. Should we continue to run around like chickens with our heads cut off in order to mask the darkness? No.

I firmly believe God took me to Mozambique to allow me to see with my own eyes ( without the masks of materialism, media…etc.) what spiritual warfare is. I faced it in America for sure, but didn't realize it was spiritual warfare. The lies I believed about myself for so long were not truths from my Beloved Abba, they were lies from the pit of hell. Perhaps, in his ever so (not) lovely craftiness he is wanting you to believe lies about yourself.

There's a truth to every single lie the devil was feeding me in America.

Lie: You aren't good enough
Truth: Jesus makes me good enough
Lie: I'm not worthy enough
Truth: Jesus calls me worthy

No negative thought that seeps into our minds is from our Father. They are lies straight from the pit of hell.

I don't think I would have learned the realities of spiritual warfare had I stayed in the comfort of my home in America.

It's time to take back what the devil has stolen. It's time to declare that depression has no place in your life. Oppression has no place. Dissension in families has no place. The world is not Satan's, it's God's.

The Creator needs to be put back on the throne where He belongs.

Please keep praying for Mozambique!

Walking in Freedom and the Truths of my Abba!
