Dear Shalom: My mother loves the Lord with all of her heart and I believe that she has truly placed it all in God's hands. The other day she told me she is in a win win situation. If she is cured from cancer then God get's the glory and she gets to stay with us a little longer. If she succumbs to the cancer then she gets to go home and be with the Lord a little sooner. Thank-you for your interest and prayers. In Christ, Tom

Dear Shalom: In spiritual warfare do you feel it is more important to convince God or principalities of our dominion in Christ. In Eph 6:18 after putting on the whole armor of God we are instructed to pray always and then to continue in prayer and "Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints". You see my quandry. When we believe that whatsoever is bound on earth is bound in heaven and whatsoever is loosed on earth is loosed in heaven; then in the context of warfare we know that when we do not persevere we fail. Why is the second qualification of "watching thereunto" so important. Watching, to me is an active verb but not an action verb. It doesn't say we have to run 100 yard dashes. To watch we have to have vision, first. A blind man does not 'watch' so to watch we must first be able to see or have spiritual 'vision', not seeing things in the natural realm but in the spiritual realm. Watching requires us to be awake but not active. Aware but not second guessing ourselves. Does this verse not mean that our watching be centered in Christ. That by our watching for His return , and by our being aware of His eternal plan for the earth, in our watching, we also can be 'working' at our kingdom duties at the same time. Though we still be busy with kingdom duties, we do not get so busy that we miss watching for His return........how am I sounding so far.In Christ .gregor
