Spiritual Warfare

Spiritual Warfare is something that I have been thinking about A LOT lately. I am wondering why we never talk about. Why is it something that we ignore like it doesn't exist when if you just look hard enough you can see it going on right in front of you. Out of all of the classes I have taken at ACU only one of them actually talked about Spiritual Warfare. One that is insane to me. I think that if they are going to prepare us to go into ministry we should talk more about this stuff because lets face it we are going to come across it. Satan doesn't like people telling others about God and how amazing he is.
I have been feeling like Satan is trying to win my soul lately. I am refusing to let him. He is making me so mad and I am going to fight back. This last weekend I was down south! I love it down there! Well I went to church and I got this feeling that I am supposed to pray over my grandfather this weekend when I see him. Then on Monday I went to soaking and I told them about it. They prayed over me. It was great but then on Tuesday Satan started fighting back. I found out that I failed Greek. While that may be my own fault the way I felt about it was all his evil doing. I was so pumped about the weekend and looking forward to it he threw a curve ball in my direction. I was so upset and didn't know what to do. This threw everything off. I am already not going to graduate on time and I am not really wanting to stay another semester for something. So I let this get me all upset and I listened to the lies that Satan was feeding me. I was listening to him tell me that this was a huge deal and I was ready to quit school. Then today (Thursday) I met with a guy about doing an interdisciplinary degree. It sounded like what I needed to do and again I refocused on this weekend. Then I got another curve ball thrown at me. I am on academic probation. Evidently when you get a F a D and a B during the semester your GPA is pretty low. So now I am working on getting that all straightened out but this time I am choosing to let GOD rule my feelings Satan bess back off and leave me alone. I don't work for him!! I work for God. If I could write a letter to Satan this is what I would say...

Dear Satan,
I know that you would like me to feel like I am worthless and that I failed this semester and I didn't do what I was supposed to but you know what I was doing exactly what I was supposed to and I don't want to listen to you any longer. You are a lier and I am going to fight you on this. God is on my side so you better just give up now. This battle has already been won. Jesus Christ paid the price for me! You can't have me. I am a child of God!
Sincerely,
Heather

It is so hard in todays world to talk to people about this kind of stuff. I feel as if we are often times sheltered from it. It is real and it really does happen. I am going to continue to tell Satan to back off and I am going to focus my eyes on God. Good WILL come from this! It is in Gods hands now!
