On guard

“Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong.”1 Corinthians‬ ‭16‬:‭13‬ ‭NLT‬‬

‘En garde’ is a statement, or warning used in fencing. It is a French phrase to indicate to the opponent and referee that you are ready to joust. It indicates the beginning of a battle.

We battle against powers of the enemy. For over a week I knew I was in the enemies camp seeking to save a soul. It came to a point where I had to say ‘fin’(another a French word meaning finished). I had rescued the woman from illness and set her on a part of wellness, however her heart remained cold and hard and it was not the Hoky Spirit’s turn.

I knew it was a spiritual battle, however, there was a human I had to deal with. I fought with her to wake up and see.

We also battle with ourselves. We cannot afford to be offended and selfish. To me that is the biggest challenge, managing my own heart. I became angry at the woman’s hard heart and challenged her. I pray I was not destructive in what was said.

Now what is left is to pray and pray I will.
