If I wasn't convinced before, I am seriously convinced now that we have an enemy who doesn't like what we're doing on campus right now. It was very apparent in the beginning of the year - with all the schedule conflicts, bad room reservations, and other complications that seemed like attempts to thwart God's ability to move here in the lives of students. And for a time I was well aware of how much we need to mobilize people to pray.
But then I forgot. I got so caught up in the beauty of all God was doing and the rhythm of every day life that I forgot to be on the look out.
And now, in Hedrick alone, both Area Leaders and half of our Team Leaders have been struck with an awful flu which - literally - has taken us out of ministry.
A part of me feels really angered. But another part of me just wants to laugh. If this is how the enemy thinks he can stop us, it really is kinda funny. He may be able to keep us from getting time around students but he can't keep us from praying. And I know God is at work. I KNOW He's answering prayers. I've seen people's lives changing in front of my eyes. A mere flu isn't going to stop Him.
I had a really powerful dream the other night. I know some of you might think I'm crazy but I dreamat that I was visited by an angel. And he said to me "Kelly, what kind of world do you think this is?" I said "A physical one." He said, very calmly, "Naw, it's spiritual. It's very spiritual."
Moral of the story? PRAY!! If you read this, PLEASE PRAY for us. I have never been more convinced that that's what we need to do.
Romans 8:38: "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
