Since the day I met Jesus, I’ve been captivated by the sweet fragrance of his word. I’ve seen how incredibly good God is and I’ve also spent nights wondering “Why Me Lord?”. I’ve doubted and only fallen more in Love with Him through the storms, because it’s by his Grace I keep my head above the water.
Right now, there is a darkness that I’ve not experienced before that is clouding my heart. I’ve heard of it before, but never truly experienced it.
. . .Spiritual Warfare. . .
What is it?
Spiritual warfare exists in the unseen, supernatural dimension, where God is all-powerful and Satan is in revolt. As any Christian soon discovers, although spiritual warfare is unseen, it’s absolutely real. The Bible speaks of spiritual warfare in many places, but most directly in Ephesians 6:12, where Paul speaks of putting on the full armor of God:
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
Restless nights have been many, that’s when my fight started. We prayed against the spiritual warfare, however, it’s becoming increasingly more apparent not only on our team or around me. . but IN me. .
I feel foreign in my own skeleton. . . Anxious thoughts
racing heart, sleepless nights, thoughtless gazes,
uneasy moments of silence, physical nausea
The Good News:
1. Satan and his Demons Have Already Been Defeated by Jesus at the Cross * (Colossians 1:13)(Colossians 2:15)(1 John 3:8) (Hebrews 2:14)
2. Jesus has given us HIS authority*(Luke 9:1)(1 John 2:27)(James 4:7)
3. God Will Fight For You (and Me) (Exodus14:14)(Deuteronomy9:3)(Isaiah45:2)
This is where I am, I realize this is ‘heavy’ and not an exciting blog. . but it’s real
Please be praying about the spiritual warfare not only going on inside of me but within the nations remembering this. .
We cannot look at supernatural situations with natural eyes, and the world has yet to see the full release of your promises O, Lord.
