I was getting ready to write a new prayer and I wanted to look at the Power of a Praying Wife book. I went to my nightstand where I thought it was (It wasn't there) and I found the legal pad that had my VERY FIRST Bible notes in it. I flipped up a couple pages and read this:
"Jesus always faced satan from a position of knowing. Knowing that His Father gave Him power over satan. Jesus gave this same power to the believer.
Satan will seek to separate families..
He plants seeds that will break unity.
Unity is what brings power to the Holy Spirit."
What has me flipping out is my Pastor once told us "if you lose something, go back to the beginning and you will find out where you lost it".
For the last several weeks I have been trying to figure out what "the beginning" was in my case.
Now I know because this legal pad is from my first months in the church. One particular study, too: "Stategies of Satan". This is where I got all the tools I used when I came out of MLC. Here's the kicker, where I lost it...2 pages past the talk about how satan comes against the family are notes I began taking when I enrolled myself in an End Times Correspondence Course - I got so caught up in the Books of Daniel and Revelation that I completely missed the warning I had just received. Furthering my belief that that's how long ago I "lost it" is the fact that I just tore through my closet to a basket of books I have had for years. I basically picked up the basket when I moved, tossed it into the closet and forgot all about it. My original study guide on the Strategies of Satan was in it. I just found every single tactic of the enemy and at the end of the book every biblical reference for a believer being placed for VICTORY.
I have chills. I am excited. I also want to cry.
I sat on the couch every night when my husband came home from work studying those stupid End Times books and I didn't hear the warning. I didn't know to stand THEN.
And then the MLC came.
And now, 5 years later, I am back at the beginning.
