A note to encourage

Yesterday morning I was reading the scripture and praying – 

rereading 2 Corinthians 10:4 -- I posted in our prayer group “we will pray to demolish strongholds at 6:30 tonight” I was filled with spiritual fervor.

Later in the day I felt I needed to look up commentary on that passage and a lot of what I read tamped down my zeal.

Less than an hour before the group arrived as I was cleaning up pizza mess I heard an audible voice

“The weapons of our warfare are not the weapons of the world”

I didn’t know where it was coming from and I did not recognize the voice. It was still speaking

“Instead, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We tear down arguments, and every presumption set up against the knowledge of God; and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, as soon as your obedience is complete.”

Then I realized it was my phone in my pocket. The Bible app was on audio. 

I hadn’t used that app this week since I downloaded the Biblehub app which I prefer for reading. Truly there is no explanation how that could have happened since my phone was locked and I hadn’t had it out for hours.

I knew God was encouraging me to be bold.  Praise God our group was bold and impassioned last night. 

Continue to pray.
