Usually I sit down to write a blog and have at least been thinking about what I'm going to write for a couple hours. However this time, I'm going to improv. I feel God is calling me to write this so I'm going to let him use my hands to speak to you guys.
Spiritual warfare, for the longest time i truly didn't fully know what it meant. I would hear Christians throw the phrase around and just acknowledge it. I've listened to some crazy stories about spiritual warfare, and still, i never fully understood it. Over the last two days, I have come to really understand what spiritual warfare is. Every time i have been alone I have really felt it. From last night(which my last blog was about) to tonight while driving home after dropping my friends off. Mostly the feelings have been indescribable, never the less as the book on good blog writing says to do i will attempt to show you. Basically whenever I have been alone the last two days I have been flooded with a crazy balance of emotions and this weird overpowering negative feeling. I really have no other way of explaining it. However every time that I have felt this I begin to pray and call on the Lord to protect me, I rebuke these feelings and the negativity that has seeped into my brain. Knowing fully that as long as I have the Holy Spirit within me I can not be harmed. This is to call out the prepared and the unprepared alike, this is something that I have always counted myself ready for. As soon as it started happening its like my body and mouth went on autopilot doing exactly what needed to be done to help me. When I look back at myself I know I wasn't ready for it. When I trust my God and I place in his hands my glass heart, I know i have nothing to worry about. When I am in trouble I call on my God and I can be confidant that everything is good.
The whole time I've been sitting here writing this out I've had a song bouncing around in my head. This is by one of my favorite Christian bands Close Your Eyes, they however aren't a typical Christian band with the kind of music they make(that was more or less a disclaimer for anyone looking them up)
Senseless injustice!
Tread on heads like dust of the earth
Cut off the hands of the ones that are reaching out
Are we so calloused that these cries are going unheard?
This blood covers me just as much as you
They say this world is what I make of it
Am I the only one that wants a change?
I've turned my back on all my brothers dying in their broken homes
I dug the graves of the ones I am called to love
We are forsaken! Empty shells still fill our seats
How quick we choose to forget the desolation in the streets
I can't believe this; that we still won't see the truth
I won't quietly sit and choose not to be moved
Come stand with me; I'll never walk alone
My words are not enough; I will love the unloved
Come stand with us; we'll never walk alone
Our words are not enough; we'll love the unloved
