“There is still more time…”
 
This was the “word” Ashley Musick, the staff member who came to S-Squad’s Month 8 Debrief, had from the Lord the morning she introduced herself to everyone. She felt that it was a “specific word for a specific person”, but was uncertain who that specific person was. 

It was me.

The word both a challenge and promise, I think.   I think the Lord may have finally moved my heart and/or mind into a place of wanting to be here for the purpose of being here. I no longer want to stay strictly because I want to obey Him and He is asking me to remain. I actually want to be here for … myself, I guess.  I believe He is ready and willing to let me experience some (or all!) of the things I’ve been hoping to for close to five years now:  healings, casting out of demons, raising the dead, etc.; things that He and I have yet to experience together, things that He’s only told me about and asked me to trust and have faith in.

…but, I think I have to say “yes” to it. I have to stand in agreement with Him that I do want to be here outside of only desiring to obey Him. And I have to agree that He will show me Himself in ways He never has before. 

I’m excited about these final three months. I can’t believe it. It feels like what I should have felt Month 1, but didn’t. …anticipation & interest instead of only obligation & obedience.

Satan’s been fighting hard to steal away this rekindled excitement. He knows how to irritate me and tempt me to give up on my fight to stand in agreement. 

But, he is not winning.

I – along with the Lord – am still fighting.

“Contend, O Lord, with those who contend with me. Fight against those who fight with me. …Say to me,  ‘I am your salvation.’ …do not be silent. Do not be far from me, Lord. Awake, and rise to my defense! Contend for me, my God and Lord. Vindicate me in your righteousness, LORD my God…. I will give you thanks in the great assembly; among the throngs I will praise you. My tongue will proclaim your righteousness, your praises all day long.” 
Psalm 35
