Yesterday was a most interesting day.  In my post yesterday I said that God was wanting me to live in my new nature and use the tools He’s given me (each of us) to assist me in staying in my new nature overcoming temptations and the struggle I often come up against with my identity.  I should know by now this will be challenged and that is why God is preparing me ahead of time.  I had a meeting with an individual who wanted to get a book and talk about my speaking at a symposium which is being prepared for this coming September.  We are going to meet again in a couple weeks.  Also, the TV channel confirmed I will tape next Tuesday morning.  I was going to church last night for a time of prayer our church is hosting this week.  I was planning to pray over a number of requests given to our church by many individuals.  However, I was somehow wishing I could have a prayer over me.  I was losing my grounding.  The beliefs of the old nature were trying to return.

As I got to the church and went to the room where prayer was to take place.  I sat by a lady  I met recently .  We were pairing up to pray over the pages of requests and told we could go to different rooms for the praying.  She and I went to a room where we were alone.  She told me much about herself and I shared with her my need for prayer and why.  She prayed over me and prayed the anointing of the Holy Spirit.  I truly felt the strength returning and replacing the fear I’d been struggling with regarding me having the right to represent God and His Kingdom work.  Paul says in 2 Corinthians 12:9-11:  “That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses….  For when I am weak, than I am strong.”

God is truly wanting me to learn how to use His armor to shield me in my weakness.  His assignment work I want to do as He provides it.   If you struggle with any of this I hope you can find assurance that this struggle is common and expected.  I pray the Holy Spirit’s anointing over you as was done for me.  God bless you.
