Prison, Church, News Headlines...

59 total came forward during the revival in Morgan Co prison.  The revival ran Sunday thru Thursday.

Now that I've been back to the reality of my world, I'm finding myself asking a lot of questions.
Actually, 2 questions:
WHY?
and
HOW COME?

The LORD had shown me that I was supposed to be going to the hospitals every week. HE also showed me that I was supposed to be going with somebody (or he with me). That somebody moved to another state a week ago.

The LORD showed me I am supposed to be helping the pastor. He's so weak right now...
...that really bothers me.

The pastor is not the only one that's suffering from an ailment of some sort. All the elders are being afflicted somehow or another. That really bugs me!

I understand this is indeed spiritual WARFARE! In war, you knock out all the ranking leaders and the underlings will scatter. I understand that.

Now the attacks are coming in different forms and to everybody.

So, WHY and HOW COME?

We have prayed, and prayed, and prayed...
and prayed some more.

Here is the scripture that I can't shake-

Matthew 17:14-21 KJV
(14)  And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying,
(15)  Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water.
(16)  And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.
(17)  Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me.
(18)  And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour.
(19)  Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out?
(20)  And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
(21)   Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.

Unbelief, Prayer, Fasting.

It's like I'm right back at the beginning again.

Prayer and fasting- the cure for unbelief.

I'll get to that news article in a minute.
