Amidst
The Attacks Of The Enemy, God Is Moving!
Since last week, I have been under the fire of the enemy.
On Thursday, the e-mail account - from which I give the devil the
most trouble - came under fire. It was corrupted by a certain e-mail that
someone sent me. As a result, I lost all of my important files and folders.
I do thank God with all of my heart that I did not lose my address book. In
spite of it all, I am more determined than ever before to press on for the
Lord.
Also, On Saturday, I woke up feeling very ill. Then today - Sunday
morning - I woke up and the feeling in the extreme portion of my last three
fingers on my left hand was partially gone. It was worse this morning but my
husband and son prayed for me and things are slowly recovering for me.
Praise God!
In spite of these attacks, I have been receiving more and more
reports from people from all over the world telling me how my messages are
totally transforming their lives - to which I give the Lord Jesus all of the
Praise, Honor, and Glory for He and He alone is the Only One Who can do such
a supernatural work by His Blessed Holy Spirit, Anointing, and Word.
I am so excited about an incident that occurred last evening that I
just had to share it with all of you.
My family and I were visiting with friends who live out of town.
They have 6 children of their own and two 12 year olds were staying the
night so they had quite a house full - especially of the young people. When
we arrived, I was especially drawn to all of these young ones.
In the evening, as I was visiting with my sister-in-Christ and she
was pouring out her heart on a few things, I felt the Spirit of God beckon
me to gather all of the young people together so that I could share a few
Scriptures with them. Their ages ranged from 6-14 years old.
I began to preach to them - warning them of Hell fire and also
admonishing them to cry out to God for the Fear of the Lord in their lives.
I warned them about "playing games with God" or "acting the
fool for the devil." I also enlightened them on the awful consequences
of sin.
We joined hands afterwards, and they all unanimously repeated a
prayer after me - asking the Lord for His great gift of the
"Fear of the Lord" by which the Scripture
says - "...men depart from evil"(Proverbs
16:6).
Much to my surprise, when all was finished, the little 8 year old
came around the table and gave me a great big hug and said -
"Thank you so much for that word. I love you."
One of the visiting girls then followed and said -
"Thank you" while hugging me. Another 12
year old came next, followed by the 14 year old, and then the other visiting
12 year old.
This was absolutely amazing. I preached so hard against sin and here
were these children coming up to me and hugging me and telling me
"Thank you" and
"I love you."
Would to God that every Preacher in
the world would read this e-mail.
I want to tell you that I was so straightforward with these
children. I did not hold back in any way in telling them the truth and
warning them about "playing with God"
or "toying with sin" or
"acting the fool for the devil" as so many
of our youth are doing today.
Isn't this awesome?
What was really mind-boggling was that one of the visiting friends
happens to come from a family of drug addicts. Many of her relatives are
hooked on meth amphetamines. I certainly did not know any of this until
afterwards.
She and the other girls ran to the bedroom. Little did I know it,
but they were discussing what I had just preached. The young girl told me
later on that she felt prompted to call her Mom and warn her about her
smoking habit. How astonishing!
I felt there was something special about the other visiting girl as
well. I hugged her so tightly and told her over and over again that she was
so very special. I then went to kiss her on the forehead but stopped because
I did not want to get lipstick on her head. My Christian sister encouraged
me to do so and said that she does it all the time.
Later on, I was told that this same girl has a Mother who shows no
signs of affection for her. In fact, she told her little girl that she did
not want her to kiss her at any time. This little girl loves coming to this
particular Christian home where the children receive an abundance of
affection and love.
Then I understood why the Holy Spirit beckoned me to kiss this one
on the forehead. Her Mother - who is certainly without any natural affection
- has neglected this expression of love to her child so God had me to do it.
Only Jesus knows the work of grace that He deposited in these young
people last night. But how I rejoice to play such a small part in it all.
Needless to say, after going through these last few days of attack
from Satan, the Lord Jesus told me today was to be a day of R&R - rest &
relaxation. So, I will not be sending out a message today but will resume on
Monday - Lord willing.
I ask that all of you would keep me in your prayers. God is using
this ministry mightily. There is no way for me to know just how far or to
whom these messages are going. All I am concerned about is that He gets all
of the Glory, Honor, and Praise.
For those of you that are on the MSN groups, the Lord showed me a
way to minimize my messages to get them through. But there have been some
that still did not meet the size requirement. If it happens that you do not
hear from me on a Daily basis, please go to my website -
www.walkingintruth.org - and read the messages
there.
God Bless y'all.
Have a GLORIOUS DAY in Jesus.
