Romans 16:20 says, "Now, the God of peace will quickly crush Satan under your feet."

On day one, Jesus took me to the throne room and handed me a wooden Judge’s gavel. He said, "Follow My voice." And He took me inside a dark, damp cave where there was a big sleeping dragon (demon). Somewhere in between the throne and the cave, the wooden hammer of God’s justice transformed into a HUGE crystalline hammer, like Thor-size.

Small life in the silent womb

   Who will hear your cry?

Are you conscious of your doom

   Destined now, to die?

I began my journey with what I call Journaling Prayer over 5 years ago. I have 16 of these journals and if my house was on fire, these would be what I would save. 

My husband was recently diagnosed with metastatic melanoma in his lungs and then 2 weeks ago in his brain. Here are some examples of my journaling.

The following blog is from Alliance Defending Freedom - concerning a vote taking place on Wednesday of this week.

The watchman is required to warn of danger and each individual is responsible to respond appropriately (Ezek 3:17-21). Click on the links below and you will be astounded at what is happening in the world today. Be informed. Live and don’t die. Make wise decisions. Warn others. Listen to God. Become a leader in restoring truth and righteousness in your community.

Obviously, God can speak to us through any means He wants: a donkey (Num. 22:28), a storm (Jonah 1:1-12), the counsel of friends (Prov. 11:14), the stars in the sky (Matt. 2:2), dreams (Matt. 2:13), angels (Rev. 22:6), divine coincidences (Esther 6:1-10), plagues (Gen. 12:17), gifts of the Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 12:1-11), and illumined Scripture (Lk. 24:13-32) are just a few of the countless ways God reveals Himself. One morning in 1979 God woke me up with a booming base voice and said, "Get up, I am going to teach you to hear My voice."

When Jesus was being tried, the chief priests proclaimed, "We have no king but Caesar!" (Jn. 19:5) They sided with the government against God and reaped the fruit of their decision. They said, "His blood shall be on us and on our children!" (Matt. 27:25). and within 40 years, Rome completely destroyed Jerusalem and killed its inhabitants. They received the judgment they asked for.

One in three Christians does not vote consistently. If all Christians voted, and voted for Biblical values, we could put our nation on track to godliness, peace and prosperity. If we give it away, we will have to face our children and tell them why we have allowed them to be enslaved in the clutches of evil. Who wants to do that?

Your vote is a statement that you support what the candidate represents. Rarely will you agree completely with any person or party, but there should be some issues that are not negotiable as a Bible-believing Christian. To not vote is to be silent; to be silent is to assent to the status quo. 

Bryan is a Spirit-filled Christian who sees his business as a ministry. I asked him if he would share his testimony with us to help inspire other Christian men and women who are involved in business.
