Its a Good Day

Yes it is. It was grey today, but had a spring-feel. It is cooling off though and snow is in the forecast. Michigan weather is so tricky. I went to the church to pray this morning like I do every Tuesday. I almost didn't because I woke up late and felt sluggish. I forced myself however and I am so glad I did. There were three of us today and Jackie and I prayed together and ministered to each other. I think it was my pastor who came in and laid his hand on Jackie's head. When he did so, I felt an incredible power of God flow into me and I began to weep. He came over and laid his hand on my head and the power increased. I was amazed and my spirit felt cleansed, refreshed, and strengthened. It reminded me what an incredibly powerful God that I serve. He is so incredibly real and powerful. It also challenged me to allow God to use me and flow through me in such a way.

I am reading a book right now (I know, I don't usually read anything but textbooks, but I made an exception) called He Came To Set the Captives Free by Rebecca Brown. In it her friend Elaine writes and shares how God set her free. She was the high priestess in The Brotherhood, the largest and fastest growing satanic church in the United States. She also became the top bride of satan in the nation. Her story is hair-raising. I started reading this book after a friend told me about it because I am greatly concerned about the influence of witchcraft upon children. Most families and children are ignorant of the influence and see it as harmless. However, I have seen some things that greatly disturb me. This book exposes the enemy, points out open doorways caused by sin or ignorance, and gives scriptures on spiritual warfare. It has been challenging me so much. Its exciting. If you are looking for a book to challenge your faith and deepen your understanding of spiritual warfare I would recomend this book, however, it is not for the faint hearted.

I have a lot in my heart today I guess. I have decided that no matter how many times I fail God, I will rise up. Where sin abounds, his grace abounds more. It is grace-God's unmeritted favor.
