The Devil has no authority here
The internet has been down the last couple of days because of rain and storms, but here I am..in good 'ole Haiti. This week has been a journey to say the least, but I can say God is good. I have realized that I need to fully surrender myself to the Lord. The last two weeks have been up and down, and I was discouraged and was thinking of what I could do to come home early. The Lord has really opened my eyes, and today I was full of joy content for one of the first full days. I had a few nightmares this week, and woke up in the middle of the night. I usually don't wake up in the middle of the night nor do I remember my dreams. I was talking to one of the ladies who works here, and she was sharing that she prays for protection over her household each night. Haiti is a dark country with a lot of spiritual opposition, and there are people who practice voodoo and cast spells. All this to say...is there is a spiritual battle around us at all times. Sometimes we are unaware of it, but we are part of the battle. The Lord reminded me to wake up each day claiming the Lord, and getting myself ready with his righteousness. It is a good reminder. Okay..it is time to leave the main house...i will try to write sometime soon. Blessings!!

ReplyDeleteRemember that as scary as those nightmares are or the powers of darkness can feel ... THE POWER OF GOD IS MORE THAN A MILLION TIMES BIGGER!!! Darkness has never overcome the light. God has already won the battle. :) So good that God is speaking to you even though I'm sure it's hecka hard. :( I will pray for deep restful sleep with encouraging dreams from the LORD. And for all kinds of new joy each day! I LOVE YOU!
