There is a battle going on in the spiritual realm where destiny’s hang in the balance between heaven and hell. There are days when it feels as if the warfare is at my doorstep and even inside the walls of my home. I have felt and seen the attacks in the physical, emotional, and the spiritual areas of our lives because I believe that the enemy doesn’t like what they’re witnessing from my family. They are trying their best to stop what we are doing, presenting the gospel, the Good News of Jesus, to the lost and broken people around us. The attacks have increased as we see the life changing transforming work of the Holy Spirit in those we are ministering to. We have seen a few people accept Christ as Lord and Savior, and start to affect those around them for the kingdom, and another who was a hardcore agnostic reading her Bible and asking questions. As a family, we minister to those who come into our home from a variety of different perspectives, from the youngest, my seven year old grandson, to the oldest, me, lol. We understand and pray fervently over what is written in *Ephesians 6:12 For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], but against the despotisms, against the powers, against [the master spirits who are] the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) sphere.* As we witness all that God is doing in seeing some of those we know surrender to the Lord Jesus, the Light of this world, who leads people out of the darkness, we pray fervently that many others will have their eyes opened to the Truth and have them receive the gift of eternal life as well. We are ready and willing as a family, to not only suffer whatever hardships we are called to in order to further the kingdom but also to praise God through anything that may come our way. I reflect quite often on what is written in *Philippians 4:13 I can do all things [which He has called me to do] through Him who strengthens and empowers me [to fulfill His purpose—I am self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency; I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him who infuses me with inner strength and confident peace.]* My prayer is simple: May God fill us all with the power of the Holy Spirit to do the work He has called us to do and that we do it without compromise, in Jesus’ precious and powerful name, Amen. My BeLoved, may the grace of the Lord Jesus, and the love of God the Father, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, be with you all. Amen. In Christ Love, douglas. HE>i. pastord.blog
