So today is Friday the 12th.
We are once again in South
Africa. We arrived here on Monday night.
Since then, I have been doing ministry in Atteridgeville everyday. It’s a
township on a mountain about 5 minutes away from where we live. There was a
group of about 6 of us that went on Tuesday. Denise, Davey and I climbed all
the way to the top of the mountain, it was so beautiful. You could see the
whole town from where we were. We sat up there and prayed and worshipped. Then
we spent the rest of the day in the cresh, with the grade zero children. For
the next 2 days we had a Bible study with a man named France and 2 of his
friends. It was great to help him learn more about God and his word. We also
went back to the cresh everyday, we read to the kids and sang a ton of songs,
and taught them rhymes.
This week
our morning sessions are on Spiritual Warfare. We have been learning truths about it:
- We
are not fighting for Victory, we are fighting from victory - We
are in an invisible war - There
is an invisible world
We have been reading many
passages about who satan is, and how he wants to attack us. And how we can
fight against it with the armor that God has given us.
Here are just some main points we
covered, that I learned a lot from.
When will the enemy attack?
·
When you
are growing spiritually
·
When we
are invading the enemies territory
·
When you
expose the enemy himself
·
When you
repent and are wiped clean of a worldly sin
·
When God
is preparing to do something great in your life
We have been studying in depth Ephesians
6- On what the armor of God means and how to apply it to our lives.
·
We use the belt of truth to fight the lies of
the enemy.
·
We use the breastplate of rightousness, to
protect our hearts from satans condemnation.
·
We use the Gospel of peace, to be ready to share
the word of God at all times
·
Shield of Faith to protect and give
confidence.—–Faith= Absolute confidence in: Gods Plans, Gods word, and Gods
character.
·
Helmet of salvation- our mind is the enemies
battle field, it is his playground. He tries to attack our minds.
·
Then the sword of truth which is the Bible.
That is just some of what I have been learning. I miss you
all and please keep praying for my team. Jefferys Bay
leaves in the morning. And please pray that God will show us where the rest of
us need to go. GOD BLESS

You seem to be learning alot! It’s great to be reminded of the spiritual warfare that is going on everyday, that we cannot see.
We’ve been doing a lot of study on spiritual warfare too, and I think it’s awesome that God is so powerful and He’s given us authority too. I’m glad things are going well…I miss you girl!! Keep the updates coming!! I love you!!
