One of the ladies I go to the prison with and I was noticing the last few weeks the obstacles in our way concerning this ministry. At first I was looking at them as coincidence, but as we compared notes, we realized that we are under Satanic attack. All of a sudden, both our families, and the ministry itself has been crazy. The guards changed making it difficult for us to get into the pods. Some of our ladies were in lockdown. Several times something out of the blue happened which made it impossible for us to get in. We have had computer problems, lesson issues, and on and on and on. On a personal level, we were rolling along nicely and the attack against us came. I was confused about the chaos until the light bulb came on. God's Word is being spread and the forces of darkness are not happy.
God's Word is growing in the hearts of these women we are ministering to. Yesterday, I felt so bad and did not want to go. I went anyway. Several more women completed our Bible correspondence course and began the next one. And...many of the women are sharing theirs, encouraging others to join in. they go and kept cell mates and introduce them to us asking us if they can do the studies too. We had several new ones yesterday. God's Word will endure forever. It crosses the widest of valleys, the largest of gulfs, and covers the multitude of sins! It changes lives, and to witness that in such a tangible way is nothing short of amazing.
The attacks only confirm that God is in this. He is providing for the needs of these ladies. He loves them and wants them to live their lives for Him, not for themselves. I don't know and will probably never know which lives are truly being changed, but to be a part of it is a joy and privilege. Thank you Lord!
