“If anyone does attack you, it will not be my doing;
whoever attacks you will surrender
to you. See, it is I who created the blacksmith who fans the coals into flame
and forges a weapon fit for its work. And it is I who created the destroyer
to work havoc; no weapon forged against
you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the
Lord, and this is their vindication from me.” Declares the Lord.
Sorry it’s been so long since my last post…I promise…I’m good now. Not that I was ever really “bad”. I’m pretty sure I’ve never intentionally
fought in the Spirit this much in my entire life. I literally never rolled out of bed without
putting on the Armor of God each morning. Pastor Paul took us to a place called Bujora a few days ago where we
learned the history of Sukuma tribe. I
love going to museums in Africa because
somehow it’s okay to pick up the ANCIENT ARTIFACTS and play with them. One of the buildings we walked into had an
old shield and spear. As soon as I saw
the shield I picked it up and said to the girls, “This has to be what my shield
of faith looks like after this month!” Don’t get me wrong this month has had so many amazing and fun moments,
but it has also been one with the most spiritual warfare I’ve ever
encountered. I learned a lot about my
authority in Christ Jesus and how to walk in it. Last Sunday was my turn again to preach in
church, as I was praying and asking Dad what He wanted to speak to the
congregation, I felt Him say that they didn’t know their authority in
Christ. He spoke the scripture that
says, “My people perish for lack of knowledge”. So the night before I was to speak I couldn’t get to sleep. I woke up every single hour and every time I
woke up I heard another truth from the Lord.
“…having canceled the written code, with its regulations,
that was against us and that stood opposed to us; he took it away, nailing it
to the cross. And having disarmed the powers and authorities, He
made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.”
(Colossians 2:14-15)
Whoa! How have I never noticed
that before!? The bible says that Jesus
DISARMED the devil! He took every single
weapon away from the evil one. The devil
literally has no weapons. The bible also
says to RESIST the devil and he MUST flee! Crazy.
At the beginning of this month I had a really creepy demonic
dream. It was one of those dreams that I
couldn’t control my own actions. I was
watching myself running away from a big man from India with white eyes who was
chasing me with a knife. He was
literally trying to slaughter me. I woke
up in a sweat and prayed the blood of Jesus over my life and eventually fell back
to sleep. The dream creeped me out. I asked my team to pray for me and they
did. After that I wanted to find out
more about the authority I had in Jesus and how I could fight the devil. So I searched the scriptures and asked God to
give me revelation of His authority. I
realized that the enemy only has lies, and no real weapons. Last week I had another dream. I was being sought out by people who wanted
to kill me. They wanted to slaughter
me. But this time I had control of my
actions. Instead of running, I stood my
ground. I told them that they couldn’t
truly kill me because I have eternal life in Jesus and even if they killed my
body, my spirit would be with Jesus, which is even better! So I stood there while they tried with knives
to stab me and every single knife shattered into pieces the moment they hit my
body. It was as if the knives were only
illusions. I woke up very excited! NO WEAPON FORGED AGAINST SHALL PREVAIL! Its true!
