A Month in the Life

Spiritual Warfare
I have been looking forward to Women’s Bible Study at the Hoover House today. We had some special guests so there were seven of us. We have been going through Joy Haney’s, “Women of the Spirit” lessons on spiritual warfare. The lesson today was on two powerful weapons God has given us, using the Word of God, and praying in the spirit as the Holy Spirit gives utterance.

At a wedding, on Saturday, I met a young lady involved with missions in Hong Kong. While there, she worked with a group who ministers to heroin addicts. She shared how their experience shows a recovering addict who prays in tongues has a much quicker recovery time and less side effects from the detoxification. This recovery center has around the clock prayer time with these individuals, with each worker taking a four hour shift.

Well that, my friends, went right along with my lesson on Spiritual Warfare. Christ has empowered the believer with the Holy Spirit (Acts 2) and even gives victory over the fiery darts of addictions! I asked this young lady to come to our study and to give her testimony. Her mother also came to give her burden for helping addicts in our own area. It is so beautiful how God is stirring up our community!

Other Guests
Today, my mother and father are here for a summer visit. My mother, Judith Bentley, also blessed our ladies meeting with her anointed ministry.

Through our participation in the show, I met up with an Assembly of God pastor’s wife from a neighboring city. She has become a dear sister to me. She and her husband asked Steve and I to speak a few weeks ago. On Pentecost Sunday, we shared our testimony of how God has moved through the TV program, and spoke on the infilling of the Holy Spirit. That night a lady received the baptism of the Holy Spirit, and several others were refilled. Praise the Lord! This pastor’s wife joined us today for the Bible Study on Spiritual Warfare. We all had a great time in the Lord.

God is so good!
