Until I get my hubby to get the pictures downloaded from Christmas and I get a chance to upload them to the blog, I wanted to share a little of what is going on here.
For the past while we have been in an obvious spiritual battle. The Lord has been moving wonderfully among our young people. You can sense a deepening of conviction as Doug continues to work through the "Firm Foundations" curriculum in Sunday School. God is at work! Only 2 or 3 of them are Christians and it is amazing how the unsaved ones come week after week to hear the message of the Gospel.
Recently we have felt an onslought of the enemy. He is putting up a fierce fight in the lives of these young people. We have a good group coming (10 to 15) and there is much potential if they would surrender to Christ.
The Lord led Doug to have an all night service for the youth on New Year's Eve. Somehow we feel God wants to do something through this. The devil has fought that service so we feel God is up to something!
Our church is praying and fasting starting last Friday through the end of the year - Dec. 31st. We would invite anyone that wants to participate to join us!
This Christmas season has been a bit different as we've turned our attention to this spiritual battle. Even Christmas morning, the Lord awoke me early prompting me to fast and pray. It was not necessarily my physical desire to do so that morning, but my spirit was willing, so with the Lord's help, we did it.
It has come to my mind numerous times of the soldiers in Iraq (of which my brother-in-law is one) and how even though it's Christmas, they cannot quit! They cannot sleep even when they're tired! So it must be with us. He who sleeps loses the battle! Win we must! Persevere we will! Victory we await!
