Right Back into Warfare
18 September 2024
Just when I thought the dark period was over, which I shared in the previous post, the warfare came back in full force last night. After a long and busy day, I unwind and relax with a TV program or the news. But last night, I ended up binge watching a Korean comedy on “Netflix” when I should be in bed as I have all this writing to edit in the morning.
I woke up late, wretched and tired. Lord, I am so sorry that I fell again – to this TV and phone addiction.
And V started to talk to me and showed me that I have missed this part before I can dive into the series of posts that will finish the work for the year – the warfare and the struggles.
“This is the last desperate attempt by the enemy to stop you from finishing your race for this year.”
He then walked me through the accomplishments and victories won this past year alone.
- You have established and seeded into the new torch in Switzerland.
- Appointed Kelly as its caretaker and helped to heal and restore her.
- Appointed two new caretakers in Singapore, Florence and PC, and trained them.
- Took all of them to China for a tour of duty and protected them from death/near death.
- Established three new caretakers and two wealth stewards in China.
- Produced welcome and orientation handbooks and videos for them and for new members.
- Purged politicking and rebellion in the community
- Worked hard on God’s instructions and warnings for the coming Mother of All Wars in the series of posts this year “What will the Righteous Do"
- Helped and blessed many distressed Christians when God tells you to.
- Rescuing some from total mental and physical breakdown
- Galvanising torchbearers to fast and pray for Israel, which always invites incredible warfare and backlashes, and continuing to intercede when called to.
- Letting go of relationships which God knows you hold dearly.
- Getting back to a good fitness routine and sleeping better.
- Simplifying and consolidating your investments and finances in different countries, no easy task in a time of great volatility and uncertainty, which requires time, perseverance and loads of paperwork (Thank God I have the discipline to keep them in proper order for all these years; that paid off).
He added,
"See? You have worked hard like I told you to, over many late nights, and were stretched to your limit. Your phone and the TV are just coping mechanisms. But very soon, you will not need them.”
I felt so gratified, that instead of letting myself feel wretched about my failures, my Father knows exactly what I have gone through even when my memory has failed me. Instead of shaking His head in disapproval, He tells me that it is ok.
Yes Lord, very soon now, I will overcome, as I wrap up what I have to do for COBS and for you for this year. Because you have shown me the fresh blooms and the birds in my garden.
The time has come, darkness is over, I have broken through into the light.
Healing is in Your wings.
This transition of godly sorrow will be completely over soon enough.
And I will be fighting fit and free once again.
Thank you, Lord.
In your most precious name, Jesus, I pray.
Amen.
