Two days until the team arrives in Menomonie!! Today the rain is falling, the fog is thick,,, but the snow is melting ~ and that's a good thing!
This morning Mark Jensen will drive over to the Menomonie job site to meet with Dave Johnson for the next two days, making final preparations until the team arrives Saturday afternoon.
There have recently been some very real Spiritual attacks coming down upon the mission team. Spiritual Attacks are 'normal' for teams getting ready to go out and be used mightily by God. You are God's ambassadors, and satan & evil do not like that! Our enemy will work to lower our spirit of excitement and throw a virtual bucket of water on your 'Fire'!
Take heart! God has given us Armor to protect against evil. Read Ephesians 6:10-18. In light of what you are preparing to do in God's kingdom, these verses may have new meaning now.
Ephesians 6:10-18
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.
11 Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes.
12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.
14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,
15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.
16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.
Take that to heart, study it, pray over it, sleep on it. I'll talk with you tomorrow...
For the team ~ Mark
