The Opposition

My weekend was a restful, yet a fitful weekend. I spent a lot of time praying and wrestling with God. I spent a lot of time sleeping and even crying, releasing pent up energy. God continued to whisper to me that the more I speak truth the more I will feel the opposition, but I must march forward IN Him. It is His power that will keep me moving, and there will be times that I will feel like I am in the valley. But, hearts will still be touched, lives will still be changed, sinners will become saints.
In Ephesians 6:10-18, He reminded me today that I have to be strong in the Lord's mighty power, and keep His armor on. This is the only way I will be able to take a stand against the devil's schemes.  This struggle is not against flesh and blood, it is against rulers, and authorities, powers of this dark  world and spiritual forces in the heavenly realms. So, I must always have armor. I must pray on all occasions, with all kinds of prayers and requests, and I must always be alert and be praying for all the saints.
Jesus, You have kept me and carried me through. You have been there to speak truth through me and to touch others in incredible healing ways. I am simply your vessel, and I surrender my all to you to be used by You. Take me Jesus and further your Kingdom by using me.
Say That all Again, dear Jesus, put on your armor, child. Pray all the time. March forward as a saint, covered in my blood!
