Dear Jesus,
You told me to resist the devil and he would flee from me,
But I have no resistance.
You have all the power and resistance I’ll ever need,
So give me the power to resist.
You told me I could move my mountains
If I had faith even as a mustard seed;
Yet my mountain won’t move
Even though my faith in you is as great
As I can conceive it.
You made the heavens and earth;
Please move my mountain.
You said, “Flee the very appearance of evil!”
So I ran hard,
But sin overtook me
In my finest hour of effort.
You have power
Over all the power of the enemy
With miracles, signs and wonders.
Deliver me from the trap of Satan.
I don’t even have the strength to put on the whole armor,
So dress me as my armor-bearer.
Do for me what I know I cannot do for myself.
So this prayer is from David Wilkerson. As i read it last night and tonight i realized that we as Christians need to be real in our prayers. I cant explain it, but being one with the Spirit is breath taking. Words cannot wrap the wonder of it. I will say yesterday i fell. It was so random. Like the night before i do not know why but i was falling. But, my heart was shaking, my mind raced for my God. But the next morning Satan was waiting. Although i was 3-4 for weeks in this state of mind, an addiction is not fought with a cold turkey attitude. Especially as the body trys to overwrite the heart. But i fell and i knew the Spirit was hurt. I felt that a tear fell from my eye but it wasnt mines. I felt so horrible that i got in my car hiked up the mountain and stood up there from 10-3 in prayer, reading books and Bible and just receiving what the Spirit was trying to reach out. It was hard, because Satan wants to make you feel more guilty and shameful when God's love is above that. I actually received a lot of grace and insight, but i love how we can run to a God that is so merciful, loving, and full of grace that he is who he says he is. FATHER SON AND HOLY SPIRIT><
