The Spirit of Death

The spirit of Death came to our house yesterday.

First thing in the morning my husband had a high fever and could not get out of bed. He couldn't sit up and could not even roll over without my help. I emptied a disinfectant wipes container and brought it to him as a urinal.

I went through all the scenarios of what I would do if he died. Every one of them sucked royally.

I put a cold washcloth on his head to try to bring his fever down. He said that it gave him a headache. We both thought that this was it. I laid down with him for a while and put my arm around him. I cried on his shoulder.

He hadn't eaten all day, but in the evening he was hungry so I made him some food. He took about 3 bites and said he couldn't eat anymore. I asked him if he needed anything before I went to bed. He had me tuck him in.

I went to bed and prayed. I told the Lord that we really couldn't go on like this for weeks and months. My husband was suffering. I really wanted him to be healed, but feared the worst.

During the night the wind blew hard and shook the RV. This went on for hours. It was cold and snow was flying around outside the window. I really felt like a huge spiritual battle was going on outside. A battle for my husband. Then suddenly it was quiet. The battle was over. I did not know which way it went.

I got up in the middle of the night and checked on him. He was still breathing. I went back to sleep.

The spirit of Death was gone. This morning, my husband felt better and was able to sit in his chair. He was able to walk to the bathroom and back again. What a relief. 

Thank God, the battle was in our favor. The Lord prevented the spirit of Death from taking my husband. The Lord still has plans for him. The Lord also showed me, that I need to be more ready to fight for my husband, and not be resigned due what is going on in the natural realm. God is a God of miracles. I need to be more aware of the power of prayer. The spirit of Death is an assassin from the enemy, he is not a friend. There is more to fight against in the spirit realm in the coming days and I need to be ready. To pray without ceasing against the enemy. 

Thank you Lord for rebuking the spirit of Death. Thank you for showing me how I need to take it up a notch spiritually. To start seeing things spiritually and not naturally anymore. To be ready. Thank you Father for always having our backs.
