The way of holiness continues to be travelled and my consecration remains (by God's grace) intact. However, the bullets have been flying. The fighting has been constant - literally a moment by moment wrestle with the enemy. Dartford has become a definite front line and we are all on red alert.
The fighting is undoubtedly tough and intensely demanding yet in an unexpected kind of way exhilarating and deeply fulfilling.
I have rediscovered the truth that there is only one way to take ground and advance on the enemy's territory and that is clad in the armour of God with the name of Jesus on your lips, bathed in the blood of Jesus and obediently trusting his command to 'attack'
Recent enemy activity promises a great time of spiritual refreshing and even revival of that I am sure. If we were no threat to the devil then he would treat us with the contempt we deserve. So let me remind him, as the Captain of God's Army in Dartford, as the Lord's anointed in this corner of Kent, in the name of Jesus Christ take your leave for we mean to win and by God's grace 'we never, never will give in!'
Yours under Christ, set apart for the lost, in the Army forever! Hallelujah!

Thou hast bound brave hearts together,
Clothed us with the Spirit's might,
Made us warriors forever,
Sent us in the field to fight.
In the Army
We will serve thee day and night.
SASB 592 verse 2
Dear Andrew, hello from Bronx, New York USA! So good to see that you are still in the fight. We are experiencing the same here in the Bronx, but our battle is within the church as well as without. We are so concerned for our people who sit in the pews, some for decades, but they have never made a decision for Christ. They are comfortable and happy to be associated with us but are lax to pick up their cross.
It's been a long time since I've written so I should tell you that back in March the Lord called me into full-time service for Him, and I was so happy to say YES. My application for ministry will be reviewed sometime this fall. A long road to ordination but what a privilege it would be to have my call confirmed by the body.
Just started my own blog last week at glossagirl.blogspot, it's based in our church's sermons. And my wedding anniversary was in July, nine years of God's amazing grace.
Blessings to you and your family. Keep preaching holiness and beating satan to a pulp. The Kingdom of our Christ prevails.
