Thankful but still in need...Pt. 2

In my last post I shared my recent life events...However, I am sure that some of you realized the 'still in need' part of my post title. Anyways, here it is folks...

My grandpa, suffering the recent loss of his spouse (that he had for 67 years), is not only struggling with grief and hurt from this loss. He is also engaged in a battle.-for his life. You see, Grandpa was recently diagnosed with cancer. The doctors told him that there is no hope, it is all throughout his body and that even though they can do radiation and/or chemo, he doesn't have a lot of life left. Obviously, we (my family) are grieving and at loss as to what to do. He told me that he doesn't want to stop living. And I don't want him to stop living. What did I do? I prayed. Not only that...I had a conversation with the devil. You see, a little while back I received a text from Kelsi which reads: "Calling all AIT members: Satan is very angry and scared right now. We are so very close to something out of the world. This afternoon, God is calling for warriors. He is declaring war on the enemy. Who will answer the call?"
Immediately, I felt God calling me to something deeper in the spirit. I replied with, "I am on the front lines." Lately the devil has been trying to tear me down. I started wondering why...I don't have anything he wants. Then I realized why. The devil is scared folks. We are tapping into a move of God that no one can stop and the world cannot control. The devil knows he goin' down and he is trying to do everything that he can to fight back. So anyways, my conversation with the devil went a little like this:
Me: Hey..Satan it is me...AGAIN...you know I'm really tired of what you're trying to do to me and MY youth group, and MY church, and MY pastor, and MY family.
Devil: whaddya mean?
Me: This is what I mean...I coming back and I'm fighting you. I don't care what anyone else does. I don't care. I am so tired of you! SO...GET out of my life!
Devil: whaddya gonna do 'bout it?
Me: Ya'see, I know this name...and the bible says the devils tremble and that includes you...wanna hear it? to bad...its JESUS!!!
Devil: Quit! That is totally a lie...!
Me: *starts singing it* JESUS!!! JESUS!!! JESUS!!!

(Guess what...Mr. Devil doesn't care much for me anymore...=D Because I know a name that is above every name!)

Anyway...The devil has been fighting me.Hard. But I don't care. I mean, since God is for me, who can be against me?! So now I'm also fighting. For my youth group, my family, my friends, my pastor, and grandpa. And I am out to let the world know.

Don't stop! Don't give up! God is gonna do GREAT things. This is the end time and if you aren't ready...you should get ready and help us fight. We ARE gonna make it!


*steps off of soapbox*
