Kim,
My very dear sister, it is a great joy seeing you taking such an active role, with your husband, in this ministry. I feel like the Lord is wanting to do something AMAZING for us all. Well, there is a problem!!! The devil is not happy with what is happening, so, he is trying to pour his disruptive “poop” on us and especially on you.
Therefore, we ALL MUST KNOW that “God opposes (antitassomai: to range in battle against) the proud but GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE.” SUBMIT (hupotassō: be under obedience to, be put in subjection to) YOURSELVES therefore TO GOD. Resist the devil, and HE WILL FLEE FROM YOU. Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and HE WILL EXALT YOU.” (James 4:6-10) Now Kim, what I am not saying is that you have a problem with pride, in fact as long as I have known you, you have more of a problem with a LACK OF SELF CONFIDENCE.
Let’s look at what is happening, since this ministry started, Kim, you have been RENEWED AND GOD USES YOU WONDERFULLY!!! The lying, disruptive, deceiving disturbing devil has thrown stumbling blocks in your path. Here is what we’re going to do Kim,
- WE’RE GOING TO PRAY A HEDGE OF PROTECTION AROUND YOU. WILL THIS WORK? remember what the devil acknowledged about Job, “Have you not PUT A HEDGE around him and his household and everything he has? You have blessed the work of his hands…” (Job 1:10). So, we know this hedge of protection WORKS!
- WE’RE GOING TO PRAY FOR GOD’S ANGLE TO SET UP CAMP, “I sought the LORD, and he answered me…The angel of the LORD ENCAMPS AROUND those who fear him, and he delivers them.” (Psalms 34:4-7)
- WE’RE GOING TO PRAY FOR GOD TO BLESS YOU WITH, “I will give you A WISE AND UNDERSTANDING HEART, Moreover, I will give you what you have not asked for—boldness and courage. And if you walk in obedience to me and keep my decrees and commands, I will give you a long life.“ (1 Kings 3:12-14)
- WE’RE GOING TO PRAY FOR GOD TO GIVE YOU GOOD HEALTH, “And the LORD WILL CONTINUALLY GUIDE YOU, And satisfy your desire in scorched places, And give strength to your bones; And you will be like a watered garden, And like a spring of water whose waters do not fail.” (Isaiah 58:11)
