Last night I cried for the first time in ages.
I was sitting in my own misery, and receiving that of others.
Neither are a good thing to do.
In my intercession I have never been a burden bearer.
I can use discernment, and always try to trust in that,
but to come home feeling (spiritually and physically) what someone with
me may have been feeling is a new thing.
Unfortunately, in the end it got the better of me - as you can read in my
post from yesterday. What a sad state I was in.
I sat in my misery and allowed the lies of the enemy get the better of me.
Today, through communicating to some great friends, I was able to hear
truth spoken out and prayed over me.
Through prayers of peace for my mind and thoughts, I was reminded of the
peace that God gave me when the decision was made to come back to Vancouver.
As well as the peace over the decision made to move into Hope Renfrew (community house)
and be the leader here. Have also been reminded of a word of scripture spoken
over me prophetically these past few years.
"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints..."
Ephesians 6:10-20
Blessings.

I have strong ties with spiritual warfare recently as well. I feel called to fight the darkness: first in me, then help to do so elsewhere. This will probably mostly show itself in the form of intercession for others who are in "chains".
