Spiritual Warfare

“For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down of strongholds…” (2 Corinthians 10:4)

As I grow up in the Lord, I am able more and more to notice the times when God is about to do some incredible things in my life simply by the depth of the spiritual warfare that surfaces. Situations tend to arise that keep me out of prayer or get me to that place where I am focusing too much on me and not enough on other people.

It is in these times when it is most vital for me to step back from my thoughts and realize the gravity of the situation. It is in these times when I feel so uninterested in prayer that it is most essential for me to consciously and willfully force myself to talk with God.

There are times when I feel like maybe I shouldn’t be in Del Rio after all. I feel like I am absolutely worthless for the Kingdom of God by being here. Somehow I’m not convinced that is the Holy Spirit telling me that. I still believe I am supposed to stay here a little while longer. As hard as that is to swallow at times…

Jason, Vanessa, Melody, and Madison

Jason writes in his blog that his wife is giving birth tonight. Vanessa has now been pregnant for 32 weeks (that’s somewhere around 7 1/2 months).

This pregnancy is unique in a lot of ways. She is pregnant with conjoined twins. I won’t try to add any further details, I’ll leave that up to their blog. Please pray for God’s will to be done in this situation, and for Him to give them and everyone involved in the situation a supernatural peace.

UPDATE: Here’s a link to their blog so you can follow the latest news…
