it's been harder on me since we have returned from the States. it's almost like i forgot for a short time just what life is like for the majority of the people living here. everywhere i look i see hungry kids, hurting families and satan's strongholds. like my eyes have been opened...again.
even though i know God doesn't want me to stay in this place, it's still a good place to be. to be reminded that we are on a battlefield. we are waging war against the most deceptive army known to man. we are fighting for little souls that don't even know yet why we are fighting.
little souls like hers.
as i watched her in her teenage mom's arms i tried hard not to feel hopeless for her. wondering what on earth i could possibly do to change her circumstances, to keep her from following the broken path ninety-nine percent of her friends will. God reminded me that i am armed with the strongest weapon available to anyone. a weapon that our enemies will never possess. a weapon that heals the wounded, saves the lost and brings justice to God's people.
i can pray for her. i can battle satan in a spiritual realm that so many people forget they are able to tap into. will you join me? will you pray for this little one to stand apart from the crowd? will you pray that she will have supernatural abilities to fend of temptation and live a life radically for Christ?
God is calling us to to stand in the gap for His people, especially the ones who are unable to defend themselves. could you imagine this little one fighting satan on her own? she needs me. she needs us. she needs the body of Christ.
