One of my favorite songs by CeCe Winans is Waging War! The lyrics repeat a protest of, “I'm
tired of principalities messing with me(Waging
war)I'm tired of the devil stealing
from me(Waging war)I promise he won't get one more thing(Waging
war)I'm taking it back taking territory(Waging war)I'm
ready for the battle I'm ready to win(Waging war)my weapon
of power He lives within(Waging war)I can't be defeated
the enemy gotta flee(waging war)I'm taking it back taking
territory” I love how she sounds so confident that she is
the winner of the battle when she sings it. I feel the confidence all over me.
One thing that we often don’t realize daily we wake up with a battle to fight and
if we are unaware of that we fall into all kinds of pits. Last year was the
first year for me planning the All Night Women’s Prayer Retreat. I knew that I
would meet some challenges but I had no idea how hard those challenges would be.
I had crazy stuff going on from the finances, the kiddos, and the man. I was
very overwhelmed and beyond exhausted but I did recognize what was going and no
matter how upsetting these situations were I continued to pray and ask God to
show me the way. I fought and fought and fought my way through all the madness….and
needless to say the retreat was a true blessing and I lived to see yet another
day for battle. It’s that time of year again and we are gearing up for the
retreat again with an awesome topic of Daughters of the King! An you guessed it
the devil drama has started right up as soon as I send out the invites and get
my crew in order! The difference is the reaction to the pitfalls and traps that
are set. Last year I wasn’t surprised but I was in tremendous despair but this year
I pray that I keep a level head. I also realize that I am at a different level
than I was last year because I kept fighting. An I am always ready to see where
God is taking me next. Do you recognize your daily battles? Do you realize that
the more you grow the more test you will have? I mean you can’t believe the
devil would give up your soul that easy when his is condemned for all of
eternity to burn. I challenge you to get up every single day ready to WAGE WAR
knowing the battle is already won over your life, and your soul. When you are
doing great things in the name of The Lord expect great tests, but just know
after the test is a great reward.
