This was a crazy ordeal. It was one of the hardest trials ever. Here are my thoughts on what I learned:
1) Nothing hurts worst than your child being afflicted. I have a new love for Jordan.
2) God let me see her through His eyes. Whoa! She is beauty, and He cherishes and loves her so very much.
3) There is a dire need for corporate prayer nets. This is a life and death situation coming. Peter had a death sentence on him, and the local church prayed all the time. An angel came and broke him out of prison. We are in that time.
4) Unity and humility are the two keys for breakthrough and covering. Husbands and wives must operate as one to defeat the devil. A crack in their marriage and unity affords an easier entry and bigger battle.
5) God’s intercessors rock.
6) Jordan has really increased in the spirit realm. Her prophetic is much higher. And, today she brought a couple of dreams to me. God is speaking to her in a big way through them.
7) We are about to see much bigger miracles performed. Get out and pray for healing. God rebuked me twice during this period on using the gifts. Egads, I need to get active on all those afflictions.
8) Honor your vows to the LORD. Ecclesiastes 5. It’s better to not make a vow than make one and not honor it. I told God that I would fast on father’s day and broke it. I then broke it two more times. The LORD convicted me hard on it, and I entered into again – a fourth attempt. Jordan’s affliction was broken on day two and never returned. It only got better.
9) The doctors had no idea and still have no idea as to what this is. I know. It’s the devil. Demonic symptoms mimic lots of stuff but have no natural root. They couldnt find the cause because there wasnt one.
10) Finish the race. I ended that fast 20 minutes early. Well, I used to be religious about fasting. Then, I learned grace. Now, I am learning about honoring your commitment before the LORD. This is called integrity. When I tell God three days, it means three days. It doesnt mean two days, 23 hours and 40 minutes. God showed me a finish line in a marathon race. He asked, “you wouldnt run 26.0 miles and not complete the final .2 of the race, would you?” Oh boy, I know that I would run it till it was done. God wants that kind of integrity from me. He has it.
11) I am still not sure what the Nazirite thing means, but I am a Nazirite to God. He has my life, and it is separated unto Him. My word is good with Him now. Whatever I commit to, I will do.
12) Laura and I need to continue learning how to work together with grace and humility to one another. And, we need to call it out when the other is not working that way. I saw an attack by the devil one of the last days where Laura publicly rebuked me, and it brought an offense. Rather than stewing, I called her later and told her about it. I said that it was a stumbling block, offense and sin and that I was supposed to bring it to her. That’s what the bible says. The effect was broken. It is important to confront a brother when he sins against you to get the release and not give the devil any ground.
13) The thief owes us sevenfold. He has been found out. It was jezebel and witchcraft all along combined with infirmity, death and other afflicting spirits. They owe us. I am starting my collection process now.
14) My GOD is great and greatly to be praised. Bless Him. He proved faithful yet again. I know that He will do what He says. No one or nothing can stand between Him and His word. I just love the LORD.
