Soldier or Casualty?

We are all called/commanded to PRAY. Each of us has an important place in the battle where we are standing in the gap. If we don't stand in our place with prayer then we are allowing the enemy to come in like a flood. I repent and ask His forgiveness for when I am a weak link in this battle. I seek Him daily to take me deeper. The enemy tries to deceive us by getting us to look at our lone little prayer and question what effect little me can have. When we stop and look at the whole picture, we are a prayer link in a chain of prayers. Our prayer "link" is strong and when joined with others makes an unbreakable chain that binds the enemy. We are never alone. There is a war going on. There are NO bystanders, ONLY soldiers or casualties. The outcome of the war is assured. God is sovereign. His victory is assured. It was purchased by Jesus blood at Calvary. This is not a nip and tuck, edge of your seat battle as the enemy tries to get us to see it. No. God has already surpassingly won. (Eph 1:21) So which are you choosing to be? A Soldier .... or a Casualty?

Moving Day ... NOT

Today we were to be moving to our much needed larger ministry home however God's timing is something different as we found out yesterday all is not in place for us to be able to move in. Praise God instead of being upset we are at a point that we are just rejoicing for His direction and guidance ... and more time to pack. It is not ours to understand the reason's for the delay but it is ours to make the most of the delay. And so tomorrow evening we will add yet another blessed young lady to our present three (3) bedroom one (1) bathroom home until we can move in to our next ministry home. Who would have guessed that having been given sons to raise that He would open our home to young ladies. Who would have guessed that four (4) ladies (soon to be 5!) and three (3) guys could all live in community with only 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. I praise God for two amazing sons who are so much a part of the ministry that God has called us to that they are willing to give up their small room for others to have a safe haven for God to do as He wills in their lives. I thank Him for the amazing blessings and awesomeness of how He chooses to minster to and through us. I love the life He has called us to even in the hard times.
