Day: July 5, 2024

Good morning, Precious Family:

I pray that this letter finds you doing well and  dwelling and living safely in the all-encompassing Peace of the Lord.

In every letter that I write to each of you, I try to be as honest and transparent as I can possibly be. With that said, I need to be completely honest in my letter to you. I had a hard time earlier this week.

I try not to watch the news too often, as it can be so depressing and scary. Well, I made the mistake of watching the news this week.

Family, I would be lying if I didn’t confess that some days, it feels like my prayers aren’t going anywhere and that evil is winning. I can not understand how evil keeps getting ahead.  God, “Are we all alone? Are we making a difference against evil?”

I avoided sitting down and talking to God this week, until I found out that my great nephew was very sick and had been admitted into Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital, through the emergency room.

I immediately went into prayer warrior mode and called on all of God’s Intercessors and Prayer Warriors to take their battle positions. The war went on for four days and then God began turning things around. God heard OUR prayers!!!

God reminded me, like He had to remind the servant of the prophet Elisha, in 2 Kings, that I was not alone and there was more WITH ME than against me, in my battle against evil.

Holy Scriptures

2 Kings 6:9-17

Modern English Version

⁹ But the man of God sent word to the king of Israel, saying, “Take care not to pass through this place, for the Arameans are marching down there.” ¹⁰ The king of Israel sent word to the place of which the man of God spoke. He warned him and was on his guard there more than once.

¹¹ The mind of the king of Aram was troubled by this, so he called his servants and said to them, “Will you not tell me who among us sides with the king of Israel?”

¹² Then one of his servants said, “No one, my lord, O king. Elisha, the prophet who is in Israel, tells the king of Israel the words that you speak in your bedroom.”

¹³ He said, “Go and see where he is, so that I may send for him and take him.” And it was told to him, “He is in Dothan.” ¹⁴ So he sent horses, chariots, and a great army there. They came by night and surrounded the city.

¹⁵ When a servant of the man of God rose early in the morning and went out, a force surrounded the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said to him, “Alas, my master! What will we do?”

¹⁶ And he said, “Do not be afraid, for there are more with us than with them.”

¹⁷ Then Elisha prayed, “Lord, open his eyes and let him see.” So the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw that the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire surrounding Elisha.

Songs of Faith

Family, I am so thankful and grateful for God’s unfailing faithfulness to be there at just the right time. Please know that there is indeed a spiritual battle going on, but we are not alone. There are millions and millions of saints around the world praying and intercessing to God, in the name of Jesus. WE ARE NOT ALONE!!!

Continue to be sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit. Continue to study and dwell in God’s Holy Word. Finally, remind each other that God has the final say and the enemy is defeated each time we take our battle positions by worshipping, praying, intercessing, and at times fasting. May we see those who are in God’s holy army.

Your sister,
