What a great analogy!! What really caught my attention was when Pastor Doug mentions warning people who are preparing to be baptized that the devil is going to try to do something to prevent that. When I was 10 or 11 and decided to be baptized, shortly before that Sabbath that it was to take place, out of nowhere I developed a very painful stiff neck. It was like a sign that I was under attack that I recognized even at that young age. My dad did whatever he could to try to rub out the soreness but back then there weren't a lot of remedies and muscle relaxants and things like we have today. I stayed firm and decided to go ahead with the baptism and I don't recall having any more pain after the fact. That has always stayed with me, but I had not really thought about it much until the pastor actually issued a warning of sorts!!
I am very sick for a long time Barbara continues to improve slowly praise God we would appreciate it deeply if anyone could pray for us we are sick we are grateful to God and the power of prayers is the best medicine we have she desperately need our prayers for a full recovery including all tests please pray for us praying for everyone everyday God bless you all
