the fight... on the Adelaide front.

Well today was another day off for me, because of the hot weather.
During the day i felt really tired and flat... spending a lot of the day relaxing and sleeping and having sometime with God....
I was reflecting on what one of my friends said when we were on our way back from Melbourne ... He said that in Melbourne he could fully feel a spirit of oppression, which he doesn't feel in Adelaide...
This got me thinking & praying about why we don't feel/sense/see the problems or the fight in Adelaide, like my friend did in Melbourne.
One reason is simply there is more people in Melbourne, which makes the problems bigger.
However as i was thinking/praying about it, I had a sense that the main reason is cause the enemy has done a good job in hiding the problems, putting blinders not only over the eyes of the world, but also the church. Cause there is problems and a fight going on in Adelaide, it just isn't visiable,unless we are looking for it. We can also be blind to the problems, hurts in our life that we need to deal with, that we need to hand over to God and recieve His healing from it.
Also there also seems to be like a spirit of sleepyness/drowsyness/lazyness over Adelaide, there is so many that are tired or just want to sleep, or have awesome ideas, but can't be bothered doing them, and saying "i'm to lazy to do it".
I think t ese things are linked, the sleepyness and lazyness are part of the reason we are blind to the problems and fight in Adelaide. I say we, cause i find i battle with this as well.
So i pray that God will keep my spirit aware of this fight, and through Christ my eyes will see more and more of the fight around me, and the hurts in me that need healing. So that i will become the person that God created me to be.

I pray that your eyes/spirit through Christ will be aware of tthe fight around you, that you'll grow fully into the person He created you to be.

Keep you're eyes open focused on Christ, and fight the battle raging around you.
