CLASS TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am praising the Lord this morning with every ounce of my being!!! I have been so swamped here lately that there has been no time for reading. Well ok, I've been reading my TEACHING REIKI book, whenever I have a few seconds, but nothing other than that!

This morning on this busiest day of all, as I prepare for the Access class this afternoon, I felt the Lord almost begging me to read the message in MORNING AND EVENING. When I did, I was powerfully moved with these encouraging words. The text is 1 Chronicles 5:22: THERE FELL DOWN MANY SLAIN, BECAUSE THE WAR WAS OF GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just HAD to share this with you all.

Warrior, fighting under the banner of the Lord Jesus, observe this verse with holy joy, for as it was in the days of old so is it now, if the war be of God, the victory is sure! The sons of Reuben, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh could barely muster five and forth thousand fighting men, and yet in their war with the Hagarites, they slew "Men--an hundred thousand" "For they cried to God in the battle, and He was entreated of them because they put their trust in Him."

The Lord saveth not by many nor by few, it is ours to go forth in Jehovah's name if we be but a handful of men (or women) for the Lord of Hosts is with us for our Captain. They did not neglect buckler, and sword, and bow, neither did they place their trust in these weapons; we must use ALL fitting means, but our confidence must rest in the Lord alone, for He is the sword and the shield of His people.

The great reason of their extraordinary success lay in the fact that "The war was of God." Beloved, in fighting with sin without and within, with error doctrinal or practical, with devils and devil's allies, you are waging Jehovah's war, and unless He himself can be worsted, you need nor fear defeat.

Quail not before superior numbers, shrink not from difficulties or impossibilities, flinch not at wounds or death, smite with the two-edged sword of the Spirit, and the slain shall lie in heaps. The battle is the Lords and He will deliver His enemies into our hands. With steadfast foot, strong hand, dauntless heart, and flaming zeal, rush to the conflict, and the hosts of evil shall fly like chaff before the gale.

STAND UP! STAND UP FOR JESUS!

THE STRIFE WILL NOT BE LONG;

THIS DAY THE NOISE OF BATTLE,

THE NEXT THE VICTOR'S SONG:

TO HIM THAT OVERCOMETH,

A CROWN OF LIFE SHALL BE,

HE WITH THE KING OF GLORY

SHALL REIGN ETERNALLY.

I have had to overcome GREAT difficulties to get to this day. Many days I'd rather have died than keep on living with the pain of burnt nerve endings in my neck and head. BUT THE LORD WOULDN'T LET ME DIE!!!!!!!

Now, today, I have the immense joy of bringing BodyTalk to the people of Napoleon. Of course I want the whole town to take the class!!!! I want EVERYONE to know the peace that comes from laying old traumas to rest once and for all. But, as the Lord so wonderfully reminded me, this battle is NOT mine. The battle for my life/health WAS/IS mine. The struggles that others have to conquer, though, are NOT mine. BUT these dear ones are NOT alone. The Lord has blessed them with the same opportunity that He gave to me 3 years ago to take Elizabeth's access class.

I rejoice anew, to shout with David of old, "THE BATTLE IS THE LORD'S!!!!!!!!!!" Humbly, I share my prayer with you all this morning, "Please, dear God, bring everyone that YOU want to come to take the Access class these next 2 days in Napoleon."

I'm off with a long list to do before class, for I'm the coordinator this time, but I just wanted you all to know that I am doing well and I rejoice in the goodness of the Lord in the land of the LIVING! YEAH!
