Day 8 GOD Holds Me To Keeping My PROMISE!

This has to be a shorter blog today, because I just have so much to do that has to be completed today!!!  (I have to take care of some IRS issues and my deadline is tomorrow.... please pray.  They gave me a REFUND, and now two years later they are SUING me for it plus huge penalties, because THEY issued it by mistake.... what a mess....) Please pray for me….. the insomnia is driving me nuts.  I CAN’T SLEEP.  This has been happening for about 4 months now, but the last few weeks, it’s been pretty severe.  My mind won’t shut down, and I can’t go to sleep until 4 or 5 am and then have to get up a couple hours later.  I often pray or journal when I can’t sleep, or work on projects, but a human must MUST have sleep to function!!!!  Please pray,  because my prayers seem stuck in the area of sleep.

Yesterday was incredible.  God showed up so unmistakably that I was greatly encouraged.  Our church sung the HOSANNA song yesterday morning, which totally unloosed my Princess Warrior. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQGJdTpMUcU  This song is so profound when you really listen to the words! It ushers you right in to the presence of God.

My prayer partner showed up very early at our appointed time, and again, my dogs warned me of her arrival.  I stumbled down the stairs in my usual wild haired, goo-eyed disarray, and immediately chugged  2 cups of black tea, 2 Excedrin, and liberally infused taurine vitamin drink to resurrect myself.  She was staring at me in horror as I sat there at the table struggling to wake up.  She was far to kind to say “Gee, Twyla,  you look like rancid death!”, but I knew she was thinkin’ it. 

This one wakes me up tho!! The Yahweh song.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SsSyx63qiZE&feature=related

We took our Lord’s Supper. Although it is a symbolic thing, I believe this is a very important part of our warfare.  It commemorates the new covenant Jesus made with us.  Many Christian people don't realize it, but those 3 days Jesus was "missing" before His resurrection and after His death, He was busily defeating all the powers of HELL on our behalf.  He bought our freedom, and He died to bequeath us the authority to USE IT.  We had our prayer lists, and were scribbling all over them as God gave us new things to pray over.  Then my friend left, and I got into my praise time, just like I did on Saturday.  I put my list in the floor and marched around it with the praise.  YES….. AGAIN…. YESSSSSSSS I really DO know how wheels-off crazed that sounds.  I was brought up BAPTIST, and no, Baptists do NOT do weird stuff like that.  Yeeeeesssss, I know.  But, when I do that, I feel a cracking and crumbling in the spirit world. 

I saw an email from a friend, asking for prayer.  I felt really bad, because it came in yesterday, and I missed it.  So I called my friend.  She is walking through a very dark valley with her older children.  They aren’t nearly as old as mine, but I have been just where she is right now.  I have walked, and am walking through some of the same stuff with mine.  Addictions…. Runaway…. Suicide attempts….  Horrible personal choices..... Abusive relationships.....  Poverty, Chaos and Destruction running through their lives.  All those things that make a single mother’s life a living hell…..  It’s bad enough for married parents, but when you are single, and having to manage this stuff with your children on your own, the misery exponentially multiplies.

When she shared with me all the things that were happening, I immediately recognized that these issues were coming straight out of the spirit world, and require the application of FREEDOM MINISTRY.  Yeah, I know that might freak some of you out.  However, trust me, it is all for real.  I have personally battled hordes of these awful things, and they are just as real as you or me…..  They are your enemies, and their special assignment is to watch you, spot your weaknesses, and BRING YOU DOWN.  Steal. Kill. Destroy.  They crawl up straight out of the pits of hell and attach themselves to your life, or the lives of your family, and attack like an army of sharks.

So – I am excited to be able to help show my friend how to wage war here. I am getting ready to call her right now and share some more.   It is funny, because I have been praying specifically for her and her kids ALL WEEK.  I had no idea until this morning that she was actually embroiled in a huge struggle.  Today, I get to share with her what she can do to successfully help herself and  kids.

I also shared with you that when you are in the middle of a battle, with satan (with a little s, I refuse to honor him with a big one) you get out your Bible, and you open it up to Isaiah 14 and read that chapter out loud.  Then you turn to Ezekiel 28, and you read that chapter out loud.  Those chapters tell about satan's stupidity, and his ultimate end fate.  He HATES to hear it read aloud.... that is what is meant by RESIST THE DEVIL AND HE WILL FLEE FROM YOU!!!!!!!!! 

This is HUGE for me.  You don’t understand how huge.  When I was under such horrible spiritual oppression that I wanted to commit suicide on a daily basis, I made a promise to God.  I said if He would help ME get free, I would SHARE what He showed me with his other hurting children, and HELP THEM GET FREE.  This is my THIRD opportunity in less than a month to do just that!!!!  God keeps reminding me when I feel fearful, or inadequate  "TWYLA, You PROMISED.  And I WILL HELP YOU."  Isaiah 41 is an awesome chapter in the Bible that tells all about how GOD will stand at our right hand and HELP US.

WHAT A POWERFUL AND MIGHTY GOD WE SERVE!!!!!!  IT’S AMAZING.  I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE WHAT GOD WILL DO TOMORROW!!!!!

P.S. UPDATE:  Our sharing time was awesome!!   She did not even realize it, but God has lately been showing HER some awesome truths that are going to help her wage aggressive WAR in her battle for herself and her precious kids.  It is so cool how GOD shows up behind the scenes and starts to work, before you know even know what you need!!!  AWESOME.

Another P.S. Update.  I just got a text from another friend of mine who is a MOM ---- Her daughter is preparing to make an immediate and disastrous marriage that will surely wreck the lives of her children and HER. If nothing else, it will wreck the relationship between mother and young children, as the children are violently opposed to it.  The devil has been involved in this one from the get go, as the man in question is a liar, fornicator, and an established adulterer.  It is never a good idea to walk into a marriage with something like that. I wanted to put this one on here for sure, because I want to document this.  Sometimes when you forget to keep track of things, you loose track of the answered prayers God provides and the supernatural way HE MOVES.  I am standing in agreement with MOM in war and intercession to prevent this awful marriage from taking place.  God never violates anyone's free will, but He can certainly influence things.  We pray He will move mightily in this matter.  In Jesus' name amen.

All you PRINCESS WARRIORS, stand up and fight with me.... for your homes, your families, your provision, and your lives.  Blessings.
