Boarder Clashes!

For most of the month of January I have woke up to some sort of physical attack  from the enemy.

The beginning of the month I began a few mornings like this....

My thoughts "my throat feels tight" "it's kinda getting harder to breath" "kinda feels like laryngitis" "I'm not giving the enemy the satisfaction of acknowledging that I actually noticed it" "Thank you Jesus that by your stripes I was healed!"  Then I would get up and continue my day as normal.  

Till one day...my daughter calls and says she has a virus and can't swallow. My thoughts... "I wonder if I caught that same virus" "that could be dangerous for me due to my narrowed airway" "maybe I should go see a doctor to get steroids so my airway stays open"  My actions... Text my daughter to let her know I'm going in to see a doctor because I might have the same virus and call my sister to tell her what the doctor said about My daughter and that I think I should go in too. My sister asks me if I prayed about it...uh no...I hung up and went to the Bible and chose to stand on the word, reminding myself that by Jesus stripes I was healed. I text my daughter back to tell her I am not going in. 

Since then I have had similar "clashes" with the enemy. Symptoms of cold, flu, fever, bladder infections & fatigue. All battles end quickly and I go on with my day...  It's like the enemy is trying to keep me distracted by symptoms. When one doesn't work he gets out the next one as if to say "will you accept this one?", "well how about this one then?", "how about accepting that you are just tired?"  Each time the battle is won or lost depending on what I am willing to accept...the symptoms can't take hold in my body until I accept them as truth. When I choose to believe that the Bible is truth over the symptoms that is the moment that the symptoms have to leave because by Jesus stripes I was healed. It is already done. I just have to believe it.
