Follower of Yeshua. Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Great-Grandmother. Some call me a teacher. Some say I'm a prayer warrior. A few accredit me with some writing skills. Me? I say I'm a work in slow progress, looking for perfection in eternity and until then having all the holy fun I know how.

Clean Clothes

Ephesians 1:18 Contemporary English Version (CEV)
18 My prayer is that light will flood your hearts and that you will understand the hope that was given to you when God chose you. Then you will discover the glorious blessings that will be yours together with all of God’s people.

We are women (and men) of hope.

And because of that hope, today is the perfect day to begin a month of Thanksgiving. So go ahead. Name one thing you are thankful for today.

I’m thankful for clean clothes.

Isaiah 61:10 Contemporary English Version (CEV)
10 I celebrate and shout because of my LORD God. His saving power and justice are the very clothes I wear. They are more beautiful than the jewelry worn by a bride or a groom.

War Efforts

John 8: 21st Century King James Version (KJ21)
31 Then said Jesus to those Jews who believed in Him, “If ye continue in My Word, then are ye My disciples indeed.
32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

I might as well be up front with you.

I don’t like Halloween.
Actually I hate Halloween as it is traditionally celebrated with tricks and witches and the like. In the circles I travel we try to put another spin on it and hopefully give an alternative that is fun and perhaps even redemptive.  LORD willing that is what I will be doing tonight.

So my Journey devotional this morning was fitting and I’d like to share a thought from it with you. Let me just quote a bit of it.

“Satan fights mightily to weaken marriages, discourage believers, distract ministers, tear apart churches and destroy testimonies.”

Any of that cover any of us?
Any of us married?
Any of us a believer in JESUS CHRIST?
Any of us have a pastor?
Any of us a member of a local church?
Any of us have a personal testimony that we walk with God?

Yes, on any point?

Then Journey‘s question this morning is for you (and me).

“Are you aware of the spiritual battles going on in your home, in your church? Prayer and truth are our primary weapons in spiritual warfare. Are you using them?”

And actually I am late this morning in my ‘war efforts’ so I’m gonna move from here to there. Please you all be praying too. Click HERE for names.
