Spiritual Warfare- and a little about me and my Savior
Posted: Wed Jul 11, 2007 8:34 pmIt was in late November, 2005 that I was in a drama for my church portraying an angel trying to convince a young businessman to not partake of some internet "adult entertainment". Of course opposite me was the nemesis, in typical scenario of what spiritual warfare can be. My final words to the congregations were Ephesians 6:11-12:
Put on all of God's armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies and tricks of the Devil. For we are not fighting against people made of flesh and blood, but against the evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against those mighty powers of darkness who rule this world, and against wicked spirits in the heavenly realms.
I am a grateful believer in Jesus Christ, and I am recovering from (female) sexual addiction and alcohol abuse. I also have struggled with multiple forms of food addiction, anxiety and panic attacks. With the Holy Spirit's guidance I am now working on a couple of different versions of my testimony. I'm finding I have so much to say and share and that bringing more of it into the light in hopes of helping others as well is so freeing. God has been so gracious to me throughout my dark times, when I literally sold my body and soul to Satan. It's amazing to think of the glimmers of Him which took many years for me to see that was to remind me you can't serve two masters. I would hope to have the chance to share more with my Oasis family as the Spirit allows in the future. I praise God for this awesome site and people.
Which brings me to another scripture also from Ephesians. To remember:
Try to find out what is pleasing to the Lord. Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness; instead, rebuke and expose them. It is shameful even to talk about the things that ungodly people do in secret. But when the LIGHT shines on them, it becomes clear how evil these things are. And where your LIGHT shines, it will expose their evil deeds. This is why it is said, Awake, O sleeper, rise up from the dead, and Christ will give you LIGHT. (Eph 5:10-14)
God Bless You all and keep coming back *BigHug*
