Spiritual Battle...

I received this and thought it was a good exhortation for all of us.

Well, the other night when we were playing, I had somekind of vision. It was awsome. I don't know what it was but let me tell you brother, I saw you wearing a really shiny armor. Sort of like the ones the romans used when they go to war. Well, as we were playing, I was really feeling the Holy Spirit in my heart. I closed my eyes and I saw that. Then I was feeling like God was telling me that you are leading all of us into a spiritual battle sort of speak.

What I mean is, all the musicians were at the very front of the army leading the entire church in to battle. At first, I didn't know what this meant. I prayed and asked the Lord to reveal to me what this vision was. You know how Pastor Jeff says not to let our emotions or flesh get in to things, so I asked God to please reveal to me if it was just emotions or if it was something He wanted me to see. Then I felt in my heart that what God was showing me, was that I needed to pray a lot for you. Why? because you are the prime target for the enemy in the battle. I realized as we led the entire church in worship, that the enemy knows that there is victory in worship. That you and us are his prime targets. That he would do what ever it took to take us out of the picture in what ever way the enemy knows. So I started praying for you brother. Another time I woke up at three AM and couldnt go back to sleep, so i started praying for you, Ralph, Charles, Paul, David, and all the other brothers and sisters in the worship team. It's hard to explain everything in writing.

brother, just remember, that we need to keep ourselves fortified with the shield of the Word in our Hearts and in prayer for one another. I know that this is what God was showing me and I hope that you gather inspiration and strength from these words. I know that the enemy will come to attack you and us in many ways but if we pray for one another, we will be protected by that Shield that you wore in my vision. Awsome heh!

Praise God Jason, When you feel down, or when you are being bombarded brother, just ask for prayer, we will uphold your arms "up high" in prayer so that we can win victory through our Worship of the Lord and bless the church more and more each time.
