I was taking a walk with a dear friend at the beach yesterday morning.
We were enjoying the sea breeze and warm sunshine when i was 'attacked' by an insect - dark brown in colour and looked like a bee or wasp. It was almost one inch in length.
It flew into my chest, and lodged itself comfortably on the left side. I did not know where it went, and so was frantically flapping my t-shirt, gasping and squealing. Finally i saw it, and had to use my finger and thumb to pick it out and fling it away.
I was so relieved i began laughing, at the same time hoping no one saw my silly antics.
My dear friend assured me that no one was near enough to see and know what was going on.
That afternoon, when i was on my way home, the Holy Spirit showed me that i was to do the same thing with anything that the devil tries to put on my body or in my life, of course without the silly antics. I was to do ALL i could do to remove the the oppression or obstacles or things in my life that are not aligned to the Word of God, ensuring that these DO NOT stay. And i could because i have already been given authority.
Just like i would not continue walking and talking with my friend, allowing the irritating insect to stay on my body, i would not allow the evil one to take any foothold in my body or any circumstances that i face, IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS!
Thank you Lord for this precious truth, taught in such an unforgettable manner.
