Attacked

I've been listening to a sermon series on The Invisible War.  I don't think about spiritual warfare much at all, but I did have a strange thing happen this week.  I teach a class in a secular school in which spirituality is part of the curriculum.  I have learned that my students benefit from my encouraging them to find their own spiritual journey.  I have also learned that they want to know how I cope with the suffering that I have witnessed as a nurse.  Students are curious and want to know about how my faith strengthens me.  Minutes before I started this content in class, I experienced extreme stomach pain.  It was so strange because this had never happened before now, but this extreme discomfort certainly distracted me from my content.  I had no medication to relieve the distress, and was in the middle of a three hour class. At the break, I begged God to take away the pain.  Then it just occurred to me to pray, "I rebuke Satan in Jesus name."   I kept saying that as I walked back to class.  By the time I reached the classroom, I was fine.  The pain was completely gone and never returned.  My teaching flowed unimpaired, and several students thanked me for my sharing.  I trust that the Holy Spirit was guiding me. When we are feeling the weakest, we can be the strongest because we cling to our Lord. 2 Cor. 12:10 Amazing. I don't think we have to worry about the invisible war, as long as we pray without ceasing.  The Lord will lead us every step of the way. Have a great walk this week! Blessings - JB
