Al, Part 7

Allan,

Thanks for your email and email to the intercessors. This gives a much clearer idea of how to pray for you and the team. I'm sorry to hear about Mary's ex-husband. Will she be leaving early or will she miss the funeral?

You know what...I was rarely encouraged by Sunday overseas. I found it difficult to get the whole message through a translator and it was usually boring. But, it is sad to hear that the message was unbiblical. I guess there's a need for more theological training and libraries in that area. That is also an area of prayer that we can pray about when you come back.

Well, it's Sunday night now and you must have arrived in Lonavala. (I think it's spelt Lonavala.) Anyway, I hope that your accomodations are clean, comfortable and cool. I have been praying for you and for refreshment.

One image that comes to mind is that of red paint being poured out all over you. I've been praying that you and the whole team, as well as the attendees, will be covered in the LOVE of GOD. Covered in a way that stays and lingers like paint after it's poured over you. I've been praying for the Holy Spirit to brood and hover over you. I'm praying for comfort and healing for Mary and the "epiknowsis" knowledge of God's strength and presence for her children.

One song comes to mind that you'll remember from Youth Group days...The Battle Belongs to the Lord.

"The Battle Belongs To The Lord
Jamie Owens-Collins

In heavenly armor we'll enter the land
The battle belongs to the Lord
No weapon that's fashioned against us shall stand
The battle belongs to the Lord

We sing glory and honor
Power and strength to the Lord
(repeat)

The power of darkness comes in like a flood
The battle belongs to the Lord
He's raised up a standard, the power of His blood
The battle belongs to the Lord

When your enemy presses in hard do not fear
The battle belongs to the Lord
Take courage my friend, your redemption is near
The battle belongs to the Lord

I believe that is you guys...although you have faced battles on this trip thus far, you are covered in His armour and will enter the land. The battle is God's, not yours. Rest assured that God has heard your pleadings and will rescue you. He will fight for you. Take courage, He is with you.

Thanks for praying for me. I feel refreshed today and renewed by God's Holy Spirit. Here is a great prayer that I've been praying almost every day that helps me: http://www.evanwiggs.com/revival/prinpray/warfare.html Praying it may also help you.

Take care. All my love.

In Christ,

Jo
