It was indeed a pleasure to see her and most of all wanting to hear how she was doing. She had been powerfully touched at the crusade and The Lord delivered her from some serious issues, but the look on her face the her body language quickly revealed the state she was in. So I asked, " how are you doing?" She proceeded to fill me in on the raging battle that she was in and how difficult it had been for her.
But, I loved the ending comment; "I refuse to give up and lose what God did for me at the crusade." Well, enough said, that's it! I told her she had just scored at that moment because what she spoke out of her mouth has the power to keep her free.
Often we experience a great touch of God and then as quickly as it came, the enemy will set you up to lose it. Just like this girl, we can receive much, but it takes an effort to keep it. My mind drifts back to an ole song I used to sing; "You may be down and feel like God has somehow forgotten, that you are faced with circumstances you can't get through, and right now it seems there's no way out and you're going under, but time and again He'll do it for you. He'll do it again!" Wow, right now someone needed to read that verse. No matter what we go through God will be there to see us through.
At the end of our brief but intense visit, she was flying high again, just because she was reminded of what God had done and is still doing in her. We joined hands right there in the CVS and prayed. That worried, weary look that I had been greeted with was now replaced with a big ole smile and a fresh determination to keep going.

Praise God! Whenever you feel like what you had is gone, or your overwhelmed with life's problems, just remember, "He'll do it again." Just reach up.....Believe and Receive!!
