Spiritual Warfare

Yesterday I had the opportunity to preach in our church and the Lord blessed and caused a young girl to come forward to re-dedicate her life to Him! She had been living in the states and recently was sent back to Honduras by her father because she was being rebellious. Isn't it awesome how the Lord works His will?

Today the enemy tried to steal our joy....almost all of the kids were unresponsive or just plain not paying any attention in our Bible Study this morning. We talked and talked about it, but nothing seemed to be able to penetrate them. We were studying Isaiah 1:16-17 and I finally decided they would have to memorize the two verses before the end of the day. It's so neat to see them all w/Bibles out tonight diligently studying God's Word. Spiritual warfare is all about persevering and the kids will win the battle this day!

Satan never stops trying to distract us and to lead us into areas or behaviors we know aren't good for us; but we don't have to follow him. We can resolve to cast him out and to walk with Jesus...and these kids have done that tonight!
