The life of a Spirit Warrior can be tough!

This Saturday - Sept. 4th from 6-9PM at Ramona Oaks Park in Ramona, Ca. my wife and I will be hosting "Ramona's Evening of Prayer" and the Body of Christ is invited. If Jesus is your Lord and Savior, come! We'll be praying for our youth and for this nation. Now more than ever we need to keep our youth in prayer. Satan is after this generation because they are going to be the end time harvestors and the harvest around the world is great, but for the heavens to be opened and the Holy Spirit to descend on all of us, we have to pray!
As we move forward in this realm of prayer and fasting, satan is going to fight back. He's going to try and throw everything at us, but we have to do everything to stand and having done everything to stand, therefore stand firm. (Ephesian 6:13)
Sometimes me lose our focus. We begin to focus on the circumstances, like Peter did when he walked on the water toward Jesus. He took His eyes off Jesus and began to sink. I realize that's easier said than done, but if we begin sinking, just repent and know that Jesus is right there every step of the way. Kindly, He will restore us.
That's what I truly love about Jesus Christ, it's His kindness. It's the kindness of the Lord that leads to repentence, but I also know that the kindness of the Lord leads me to restoration. He is so loving. He is so good. His lovingkindness is so unique - without any conditions. That's why I serve Him.
Unlike many of us. We tend to put love on a conditional level. Not Jesus. His love is so rich! 
The circumstances of life can be challenging, but remember - they give us a direction to pray, but greater is He who is within us. Circumstances in our life will present challenges, but look at the martyrs who give it all. That's why we need to take our eyes off of ourselves - off our circumstances and firmly on the Author and Finisher, the Perfector of our faith - Jesus!
