SPIRITUAL WARFARE



April 12, 2019
I’ve asked you to PRAY for me and Rose on many occasions…and you have been faithful and gracious to do so.  TODAY I come and ask for those of you who want to be warriors of God to join me in STANDING against the spiritual forces of evil and powers of darkness according to Ephesians 6:10-20 on behalf of Rose’s mind and medicines.
Jesus said that EVERYTHING we do is to give God GLORY.  Rose’s present state of mine and the medicines she is taking do NOT give GOD Glory because they have produced ANGER, HATE, DESIRES TO HURT, NO RECOGNITION OF GOD.  She is FILLED with CONFUSION, ANXIETY, DEPRESSION, and HOSTILITY.
God has been very obvious in our lives over the past year as Rose has gone through getting her hearing and life in a place of peace, praise and plans for a great future in her old age.  Many of you have shared in this journey and joined with supporting us in PRAYER and GOD’S LOVE.

About a month ago things changed drastically as she was diagnosed with Dementia and put on new medications that she has reacted to differently than normal and her behavior has progressively and quickly become dangerous to her and me.
I have researched Scripture, sought medical and spiritual council and have found like-minded thinking about taking her off all these mind controlling meds and seeking the Mind of Christ and His Plans for our lives to give Him glory in ALL situations.
The Scripture above in EPHESIANS 6:10-20 outlines for us clearly who and what causes our battles that don’t honor God; and tells us how to battle against these powers of darkness…we STAND…STAND…STAND...with FAITH, RIGHTEOUSNESS, SALVATION, PEACE, GOD’S WORD (as our weapon) and PRAYER in THE SPIRIT OF GOD that dwells within each Believer of Jesus Christ.

#2 Request:  I, Betty Nunes, ask as Paul did “Pray at all times in the Spirit with every prayer and request, and stay alert in this with all perseverance and intercession for the saints.  Pray also for me, that the message may be given to me when I open my mouth to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel…Pray that I might be bold enough in Him to speak as I should.”

I believe that when these medicines of chemicals that the body was not designed for by God are out of her system, she can return to her right mind and receive the Word of God and give Him praise.   Then, God will do what He has promised to finish the work He has begun in us until Jesus Christ returns.  He will work in us how to give Him glory…even with Dementia!
