spiritual warfare
since i've been involved in ministry with c4c (that is, since first year ... meaning only 4 years of experience really), i don't think i've felt as much of a tangible sense of spiritual warfare as i do now.
all around me, it seems like the enemy is picking our leaders off, one by one. whether it be a sin issue, or relational conflict (which, for some reason seems unusually high this year), or "busyness", i realize once again that we are not fighting against human flesh, but against the powers and principalities of this dark world.
oh God, have mercy on us and save us from this impending sense of darkness!
i don't know how to articulate clearly what is going on here @ cton, but more than ever, i feel a sense that things are getting out of control ... but not in a way that feels like "God is in control". personally, i feel like things are heading towards meltdown, but knowing that only God can save us at a time like this.
adam reminded me the other day that there is satanic opposition to what we are doing on campus. i look at human explanations and human methods so often, but we must remember that this is a spiritual battle we are facing.
and only spiritual methods will win spiritual wars.
God, mobilize your people from across this nation to pray and fast and seek your face Lord. let us be radical -- not only in our "faith goals" -- but in each and every moment that you gift us with. God help us. God save us!

I know what you mean. I've felt that in the past at UO. Right now i'm just numb, but i've felt it.
Check this, though: these too are feelings, and cannot be trusted. If this is motivation to pray, it might come from God. If it brings fear, then maybe not...
