Weapons of Warfare


Today I am reminded that the weapons of warfare are not of this world 2 Corinthians 10:3. As we clean up from Gustav and Ike is making noise and threats, I find so many people anxious, fearful and full of worry. People calling today crying, "I can't take this anymore, if I do not have my sleeping pill I can't sleep, my mind is racing all the time."


This is the enemy of our soul trying to distract us from the true purpose of God. Jesus Christ promised us His Peace....it is a gift...He said MY PEACE I GIVE TO YOU.....well today I think that the warfare we are against is the destruction of our ability to live in the midst of storms and trials in HIS PEACE. It is a gift we need to open and receive. Often I find myself pondering the circumstance, creating drama in my mind from the storm and failing to unwrap the perfect PEACE of Christ.


A friend recently gave me a T shirt with what I believe will become my life motto...


"Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, but learning to dance in the rain"



I choose today to use the weapons NOT of this world...Peace, Love, Joy, and may these weapons bring strength to my beloved friends and family here on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi.

Start the praising let's start dancing....Love you Jesus
