This past week was a battle. The enemy has been prowling around me like a roaring lion looking to devour me. I have been feeling like there is a war raging all around me and I am standing in the middle of it fighting all by myself. The devil wants me to feel like I'm all alone, that I'm all by myself and he is threatening that when I grow tired, he will strike.....he has been trying to take my relationships from me and is using the mistakes I have made against me. I've been feeling like I'm failing everyone around me and that by the time I'm ready to leave, I won't have any friends here or any support.
BUT....I AM WINNING!! We don't fight against flesh and blood but against principalities and the dark forces of this world. I have finally recognized these feelings for what they are....GIGANTIC LIES. I will stand firm. I will pray on the armor God has fitted me with and I will not stop fighting. I am not fighting alone....God reminded me this week that He has surrounded me with all of you. When I am weak, He is strong. His grace is enough for me, His power is made perfect in my weakness. I am apologizing for my mistakes and cleaning up the relationship messes I have made. I will not let the enemy win. I pray against him in the name of Jesus!!....he has no hold over my life. I stand on the neck of the oppression that I am all alone, that I'm failing everyone around me and that I'm getting tired.
We are in the midst of a spiritual battle, but we reign with Jesus. He has equipped us with everything we need to win. We need only to hold on to the truth that we are victorious in Him.
I thank God for you everyday. Your prayers are what have been keeping me strong. Thank you for being my prayer warriors.
Standing in battle with you,
Gina :)

You are such an inspiration!! You words ring truth and power and are not just words but declarations with assertiveness. KEEP IT UP GIRLFRIEND!!
