Enemy is such a jerk!! Not going to let him get us down, though!

This weekend is our wedding anniversary, so as a family, we are getting away! When we return, we'll have 13 more days until Hope's big day. I wish I had time to list the things that have gone wrong over the last few days, but I don't. None of it has been accidental. Enemy is trying every sneak attack he can muster to use against us. He will not succeed. This morning, we packed our laptop to take with us so I could keep in touch with all of Hope's praying warriors. It crashed. It is completely fried. Wouldn't even turn on. So, here we are, on the road, using a computer at a library in Clanton, Alabama. It took us forever to find a library, and when we got here, there were 3 people ahead of me waiting. Each could use the computer for an hour. Guess what Father did? He provided. The librarian ushered me back to use one of the employee computers....just so I could write all of you today. Turns out, she is related to the folks at Shuff's Music in downtown Franklin. She is like a part of home. What Enemy intends for evil, God turns around for good. Thank you, Lord!

I want you to know that we are wearing our Battle Attire----knowing the battle is going to increase as we draw nearer to October 12th. With all of the prayer warriors at work, Enemy will surely call for more warriors of his own. Thank you for continuing to pray. We know what he wants.....Enemy always wants to steal, kill, and destroy. Father, He is the One I am standing with.....trusting Him completely to carry us. Because my time on this computer is limited, I'm only going to add a little more to the story. I will try my best to find another computer once we arrive at the beach. I am praying the time away does everyone good.

Here goes:

"John was eager to ask a question, and God knew it, so He stopped talking, turned to John and said: "Ask whatever you will".

"You said you will be with man always....throughout his life. Does that mean man will see you and talk with you the way we do?"

"Of course it does", Peter spoke up, "Man will see Father the way we do----right, Father?---you just saw Him with His twelve students".

With kindness, Father raised His finger: "Just a minute, Peter. Do you remember the limits I told you about earlier? One of those limits that I have put into place is that man will not be able to see Me and will rarely hear My voice. This part of our relationship will be called FAITH. I plant a piece of Myself into each human, I set rules in place that cannot be altered, I choose Prophets and teachers to teach man about My ways, I show Myself through the miracle of creation every day, and I speak to all who will hear Me through love letters I give to them. Man will call My letters, The Bible. I will woo them, and call to their hearts constantly; many will come to me. Once they belong to me, once they have surrendered their free will to Me, nothing will ever be able to break us apart".

As Father spoke of those who would choose Him, He could see them all in His mind's eye....though not yet "created" physically, they were very real already. He knew them all by name, their likes and dislikes....every detail. So great is His love for them.
