FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT

FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT
7.I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:8.Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.2 Timothy 4:7,8 [KJV]



To my sister's and brother's of the children of our high most precious of God. I have been battling in my own health problems to say the least right now and have since this has started and with a very hard sugery that I had memorial day weekend this year.And I still have 2 more to go through yet. Some day's I feel like I'm climbing up again in being in him and other days I am not yet there yet and this is taking longer than I ever thought it could right now and it's still in the healing process as well. I've had music on in the Lord and bible studies here at the home, praying all that any of us would do in walking in the Lord. Most of resting in this healing process so I can be prepard for those other two sugeries. I've had a son whom is in truck driving business and he met and married a lady and brought her home and come to find out she's has another so-called religion called " Wicca" Which I only know so little about ! Her name is "Michelle S." and our son name is "Jesse" from what little I have found out from a dear sister in the Lord about this stuff Wicca is of the devil:Pagan nature religion inspired by various pre-Christian western European beliefs, whose central deity is a mother goddess and which includes the use of herbal magic and benign witchcraft. I know one thing it's not our Lord from what she's mentioned and I witnessed to her that only Jesus Christ fulfills my every need that a person could ever want or need in our lives. Also, I explained to her all of things that had taken place in my life before I came to know the lord and what had taken place filled with scriptures that I have hung on to and more than ever before that had helped me grow in him along with the sinner's prayer. I've had on christian music in our home, bible time in our home and she refuses it every time. So had our son take her to his semi- truck last night. She couldn't handle the holy ghost's power in this place. I do know the Lord's His power is working here in our home or that wouldn't have taken place last night, without him here it wouldn't have happened that way at all it would have gone down the drain so to speak without any thought of it at all simply because we both would have been in the world of satan and not in our God whom has made this world and His beloved Son Jesus Christ whom my husband and I are totally fixed into in our lives abundantly forever and waiting upon his return like many of whom are believer's of Jesus Christ and walk with him in a very personal level in prayers and obedient only unto Him. Iam asking everyone whom read this to keep this family in your abundences of prayers and send encouragement , and share with us on im's while they are around us right now simply because they are finding a home in his home town where we live and wanting to be very near by us only because of what has taken place with me and my health I have to say about my son he loves me very much he has a heart for his own family and what we go through at any cost that he sees us going through. But I must admit as his mother he's done marriage wrong at this time in his life, I've tried to reach him about this in time but wouldn't come home off the road for us even to begin to help him see what he's about to do or have done in his own life or to take him to some christian people to help him. On any given subject that he wanted to know and he never asked me about this one at all when it came about what she believes in at all.So now this type of person is in our midst now and he had made this choice in his own life today. I cried about this whole situation and it has dragged me down and I'm more tired than ever before. I feel ashamed deep within me but he didn't open up to either one of us at all. With my health problems going on as well this isn't doing me any good either knowing what she believes in either. I am being honest and open with everyone about this whole event that's taken place right now with us in our home. Keep Michelle & Jesse in your prayers until Jesus Wins this battle before us ! I know our God wins !I don't know what to ask for than what's been posted in front of each of you today. We just know that Jesus is with us and nothing else matters but him. He heals, delievers, sets the captives free,and he hears our prayers we pray unto him. and we wait patiently on him and believe me when that answers come we act on it then. and trust his answers no matter what it brings unto us.Often times we see those answers that it may be the oddest answer we my recieve but yet encouraging for us as believer's.But if we have already prepard our hearts for the right answer we will know those answers in a pre-planned praying before we take that plunge.and make certain that's it right first and formost before leaping into a situation. to live honorably, morally, ethically as we can and to ask God from relief from all pressures that come to be before us to bear in any given situations.When we are having lack we ask him for for haing more abundantly of a supply in him to carry us through it, as he brings us all to his safety net.God is very consistant in keeping his promises unto us .All we know is keep our lives in God's hands ! They are quite capable of getting us through this whole situation at this time. His chacter Never Ever changes ! All we know is we want to be much richer in Him alway's in our growth in striving to be more like Him. He's our security and peace.Michelle's evil door is bashing at us right now , deep within her but we know whom her power maker is ...but we know whom more powerful than this child can ever know whom can take her out of her that a mighty, mighty for to recogine with and His name is Jesus Christ He's alive, He's alive and working in us all. I deeply would thank The Lord today in enabling me and strengthening me today to know he's here in asking this from other believer's to be standing in this fight with us in our Lord. and Here is our prayer to go along with it as well. Thank You brother's and sister's of faith.




Dear Father, warrior against evil, In whom we live and love daily in our own hearts today !

Help me to fight the good fight. Help me to finish the race. Help
me to keep the faith, so that I will receive the crown of
righteousness which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award me on
that Day, and not to me only but to all who have loved his
appearing. For we are deeply devoted unto You and love you so tenderly as anyone could ever know you as our father in heaven in which you have given us on that day of calvery cross that we can never do in our own life but yet today we can see why when under such an enemies attacks that understanding comes alive and very opened to it as we stand so firm in you in our life.

Teach my arms to war. Teach my legs to run. Teach my lungs to pump
air. Let me be a furious and fast warrior in your army of faith.
Let me be absolutely immovable in the trust I have in you. Give me
an overwhelming love for you and everything you stand for. I love
you, Father. I love Jesus and the Spirit. I love your kingdom and
all your people.

In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen. catcmo2006
